Dungeon Objective
Inferno Volcano has many Fire-type starters that can be recruited, such as Cyndaquil and Charmander. TM Fire Blast can only be found in this dungeon as a rare drop from Groudon. Players can also obtain Groudon's Heart Slate, which is also a rare drop from Groudon. With this Heart Slate, players can combine the Heart Slate with the Mystery Part to summon Groudon in dungeons. This also gives the player access to Groudon's Precipice Blades if Precipice Blades is a move that is selected when Groudon is summoned.

The Pokemon that are found in this dungeon give a lot of experience, so training here is a viable option.
