Tanren Mines

Tanren Mines, shortened to TM or "Mines" by players, is a mainly Rock-, Ground-, and Poison-type dungeon in Tanren, found north of the road fork south of Tanren City. The dungeon has 28 Floors, and supplies HM Rock Climb. You can continue onto Tanren Mines Depths optionally, with a Pokémon that can learn or has Rock Climb. Starting on Floor 23, Hippowdon can spawn so sandstorms may appear due to its Ability Sand Stream.

Boss
A Nidoking and Nidoqueen are found after the last floor of Tanren Mines. The two Pokémon try to break down a wall, but then, they quickly mistake the player as an enemy and attack. After defeat, Nidoking apologizes to Nidoqueen for failing, but then they realize that the player is friendly after Nidoqueen points out how blind they were, and Nidoking and Nidoqueen ask the player to rescue some miners while Nidoking explains about the monster that Nidoking and Nidoqueen mistook the player for. Nidoqueen praises the player before a pathway is revealed. Nidoqueen wishes the player good luck before walking off with Nidoking.

They have the following moves:
 * Nidoking: Earthpower, Fire Blast, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt
 * Nidoqueen: Bulldoze, Helping Hand, Toxic, Venoshock

Trivia

 * On March 25 of 2019, Tanren Mines was split into another dungeon; Tanren Mines Depths. It was created so players could use HM Rock Climb right after obtaining it, rather than doing all 42 Floors it had been.
 * This dungeon was one of the first to featured on the official PMU Tumblr page.
 * The Quarry is similar to the 'Lost Woods' from the Legend of Zelda series.
 * When this dungeon was released the location of the correct warp changed every few days.
 * The dungeon shares its initials, TM, with Tanren Mansion, as well as the Technical Machine items.
 * In the house "Gaia", players can find what appears to be an early sketch for the mines' outer entrance.
