Mt. Skylift

Mt. Skylift, most commonly known as Skylift, is a dungeon that contains mostly Flying-type Pokémon, found northwest of Grassroot Town, and northeast of Pitch-Black Abyss. It provides the player HM Fly at the end of the dungeon. Many different weather statuses can occur here; sun, rain, cloudy, and fog. Most of the dungeon may be clear due to Swablu and Altaria which have the Ability Cloud Nine. Pelipper also spawns on the higher floors, which can lead to more rain as it also has a weather manipulating Ability, Drizzle.

Due to the number of enemies spawned, ease of defeating the enemy Pokémon, resources provided and experience points gained, Mt. Skylift is the best dungeon to train Pokémon from level 20 up to level 40.

Attributes
The scenery in this dungeon changes 3 times. Each time, the Pokémon grow stronger and higher on the evolutionary scale.

Floors 1-15
The lower floors of Mt. Skylift feature mild, orange dirt tiles and orange walls. Various weather are present starting as early as Floor 1, and water tiles are common. Rooms tend to be small, with pathways often leading players to neighboring rooms or occasionally dead ends. From Floor 6 onwards, Clear weather may be prevalent due to Swablu regularly spawning.

Floors 16-25
At the mid floors, a more canyon-like surrounding is presented. The floors are sand-colored and the walls dyed brick-red. Room sizes vary from this point onwards; the rooms may be small or are moderately large. Pathways often directly lead players to neighboring rooms as usual. Common clear weather is still prevalent due to Swablu and Altaria regularly spawning on these floors.

Floors 26-36
The scenery set here changes drastically, with the walls and floors appearing in shades of cobble. The rooms at this point of the dungeon are moderately sized, with occasional large rooms.

On Floor 30 is a Sealed Chamber with a Light Box that can contain a Sky Silk.
