Stark Volcanic Woods

Stark Volcanic Woods, commonly abbreviated to Stark or SVW, is a dungeon introduced in PMU 7, located northwest of Archford, next to Inferno Volcano. This dungeon frequently shifts between floors with darkness and without darkness. It consists of many Fire-, Grass-, and Ground-type Pokémon. Although natural weather is not present, sun may appear due to Ninetales or Torkoal spawning up until Floor 26. The Secret Room, boss room and end room will always be cloudy.

Dungeon Objective
Mainly, the dungeon objective is to clear it. Stark Volcanic Woods provides good experience for Pokémon in the range of 40s, and even 30s depending on the Pokémon being used. Torchic, Venipede, Numel and Torkoal can be recruited here. There's also Turtonator's egg, which is in the lava and exclusive to this dungeon. You may also have a chance at getting the Heart Slates of Victini or Heatran. This can grant players access to both Pokémon's signature moves.

Tips

 * Bring a Pokémon with Refresh or immunity to the burn status condition.
 * Bring Honey for if you run into a Secret Room.
