Oreburgh City is the first city with a Gym you’ll come to in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Other than the gym, however, there are a few things to do here.

Main Story¶

You’ve come to Oreburgh City to challenge Roark, but first, you need to find him.

Head south of the city to Oreburgh Mine. It’s not hard to find Roark, and he immediately returns to the Oreburgh Gym so you can head on up there and challenge him when you’re ready.

Items¶

There are a few optional but important items you should find in Oreburgh City.

Item	Location
Dusk Ball	In the first building towards the top right of the city after entering from the left - head upstairs and talk to the child.
Heal Ball	In the next house to the right, talk to the man with a Zubat in your party and he’ll be impressed enough to give you this.
Great Ball	The house below the museum has a boy who will hand this over on the second floor.

Once you gain the ability to go to the Grand Underground in Eterna City, you’ll be able to dig up fossils. You can then return to the Mining Museum in Oreburgh any time to revive these fossils, but he can only do one at a time.

Pokémon	Fossil Required
Omanyte	Helix Fossil
Kabuto	Dome Fossil
Aerodactyl	Old Amber
Anorith	Claw Fossil
Lileep	Root Fossil

Notable Encounters¶

Like every city, this town has a Pokémon Center. Use it to heal your Pokémon whenever you need to.

In the same house you found the Heal Ball, there’s a woman who will offer to trade her Abra for your Machop. As Abra is pretty hard to catch, this is a worthwhile trade you should consider.

It’s actually a pretty good offer, especially this early in the game.

There are various other NPCs around the houses who will offer tricks and tips for early players of the games. Seasoned players, however, shouldn’t have to worry about these.
