A small, peaceful village, Lavaridge Town has more to offer than it looks. With a hot spring, herb shop, and Gym, it should become a frequent stop on your journeys.
{{All Game Nav|game=Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|custom=[[Pokémon/Pokédex|Pokédex]]}}
==The Spring==
To enter the hot spring, you need to enter the Pokémon Center and use the door in the top left of the room. While you're there, use your Itemfinder in the water and you'll find an {{bp|Ice Heal}}.
A woman just outside the spring will give you an Egg if you want. If you carry it in your party for 5355 steps, it hatches later into a {{bp|Wynaut}} (and is the only way outside of trading to obtain it).
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Lavaridge Town is where you can win the fourth Badge. The town is in a volcanic region and is famous for saunas that contain spring water. A woman near the spring will give you an Egg that hatches about two hours later into a {{bp|Wynaut}}.
This shop is the first house east of the Gym. It sells a small range of herbs that are very effective, although don't buy too many of them, because if you keep feeding your Pokémon bitter items, its love for you will wane. Talk to a man in the shop and he will give you Charcoal, a hold item that raises the power of Fire-type moves. In the second house east of the gym is a little girl in there that will teach one of your Pokémon the move {{bpm|Mimic}}, which copies the move that the enemy Pokémon does. She'll only teach it once, however, so pick wisely!
Enter the hot spring through the northwestern door inside the Pokémon Center. Use your Itemfinder as you walk in the water.
==Herb Shop==
==Lavaridge Gym==
This shop is to the east of the Gym. Here's what is offered:
* '''Gym Leader: Flannery'''
* '''Badge: Heat Badge'''
* Energypowder: 500
[[File:PRS&E Gym - Lavaridge.png|300px|thumb|right|Lavaridge Town Gym in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]
* Energy Root: 800
[[File:PRS&E Gym - Lavaridge directions.png|300px|thumb|right|Directions for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]
* Heal Powder: 450
* Revival Herb: 2800
Don't buy too many of them, because if you keep feeding your Pokémon bitter items, its love for you will wane. Talk to everyone in the shop. You will get a Charcoal a hold item that raises the power of Fire-type moves.
This Gym's specialty is Fire Pokémon, so you will want to have Water-, Ground-, or Rock-type Pokémon at the ready. The Gym has a bathhouse layout with holes that makes players fall down and steam geysers that send players up a level. To reach Flannery, you have to go through the correct series of water-holes.
After defeating Flannery, she will award you with the Heat Badge and also '''TM50 {{bp|Overheat}}'''. Outside, you will meet your rival and they will give you the '''Go-Goggles''' which protect your eyes enough to allow you to enter deserts.
This Gym's speciality is Fire Pokémon. So if you have one Water Pokémon, there will be no need to touch another. And if there is, then the battle is fun. {{bp|Torkoal}} is tough to beat; so if you caught a {{bp|Koffing}} in the Fiery Path, use its Self-Destruct move to end this fight. Don't prolong the fight or else Torkoal will resort to attacks like ''Overheat'' and ''Attract'' both of which cause a pain in the head.
With this, you have finally become strong enough to be considered worthy of a battle by your father. Return to [[../Petalburg City/]] to continue the story. You have quite a long trek to get there though, with the easiest route being to head back to [[../Rustboro City/]] via [[../Mauville City/]], [[../Verdanturf Town/]], and then [[../Rusturf Tunnel/]]. From Rustboro, journey south through [[../Petalburg Woods/]] to reach Petalburg City. It is mandatory to complete the Gym before moving on to Eastern Hoenn, via [[../Route 118/]].
