Phase 6 Mine Badge Canalave City, Iron Island, the Canalave Gym puzzle, and Byron. 06 / 11 
Ride platform lifts through the steel maze, defeat every worker and Ace Trainer, and beat Byron's Bastiodon. This standalone section joins the route plan to the original Diamond/Pearl map, encounter, trainer, item, and script data; Platinum tables are not substituted.
Source maps
Canalave Gym.
Version discipline
Rows merge only when Diamond and Pearl are identical, and each row carries D/P game markers. Version-exclusive species, mascot encounters, swarms, Radar slots, and GBA insertion slots keep their own labeled rows.
Route Plan
Bring Fire, Fighting, or Ground coverage; ride each platform branch for trainers and items; track lift colors and floor changes; return to the final red platform; save before Byron; exploit Bronzor and Steelix safely before focusing Bastiodon.
- Bronzor's ability can remove one of its usual weaknesses, so check battle feedback instead of assuming Ground or Fire will always be ideal.
- Bastiodon has enormous defenses but severe Fighting and Ground weaknesses; avoid letting it stall with healing.

Wild Pokémon
No random wild encounter archive or curated static/gift row applies to this section. This is expected for some buildings, story rooms, and Gym interiors.
Trainers
Field order follows the map's object-event order. Full teams include explicit held items and moves when trdata defines them; cash rewards use the in-engine final-party-slot level and trainer-class multiplier formula.

Danger notes
Bastiodon's defenses invite a long fight, while Steelix and Bronzor punish careless physical plans.
Practical counters
Fighting and Ground attacks exploit Bastiodon fourfold; Water also handles Steelix. Check Bronzor's ability before committing to Ground or Fire.
Completion Checklist
- Complete the currently reachable part of this route plan: Bring Fire, Fighting, or Ground coverage; ride each platform branch for trainers and items; track lift colors and floor changes; return to the final red platform; save before Byron; exploit Bronzor and Steelix safely before focusing Bastiodon.
- Review all 0 encounter rows across the per-area tables, including game markers, method band, time-of-day rates, levels, and each conditional requirement; mark conditional rows for their stated revisit.
- Defeat or deliberately skip every currently reachable trainer row; leave HM-, story-, or National-Dex-gated rows checked only after their access requirement is met.
- Collect currently reachable visible/scripted items and berry trees, use the Dowsing Machine for reachable hidden rows, and retain every explicitly gated row for the named cleanup visit.
- Resolve every currently available puzzle note, boss branch, and partner scene before opening the next section.
Sources And Validation
pret/pokediamondat commit038cccaed5de8f013875bc5d734f912d1de08e0f:map_header.c, D/P encounter archives,trdata.json, zone events, script archives, item tables, and trainer graphics.- Encounter slots were decoded from exact 424-byte D/P members and cross-checked against Gen IV slot behavior; the 0x6C pair is day, morning uses base slots, and 0x74 is night.
- Coordinates remain visible as QA anchors, while each hidden row also provides a plain-English map-region instruction.
- Generation-wide systems that are not tied to a normal map archive—Honey Trees, Great Marsh daily rolls, Trophy Garden, fossils, Pal Park, and event items—are explicitly curated in their dedicated system pages.
