Twist Mountain is a mining mountain, full of excavations of valuable metal ore. But in winter, things change. A lot. If winter is your in-game season, then there will be a few hidden items and season-exclusive trainers. It's important you follow the guide for your in-game season. This is still in progress

- Woobat (Lv. 28-31)
- Gurdurr (Lv. 28-30)
