Mt. Chimney

The cable car is now open. Ride to Mt. Chimney, push through the grunts, and fight the leader at the machine.

Ruby players fight Maxie; Sapphire players fight Archie. The teams differ by theme, but the plan is similar: bring a Water or Ground answer for Magma’s Fire/Ground threats, or Electric/Grass/Fighting support for Aqua’s Water/Dark pressure. Do not treat this as a random grunt. It is the first villain boss fight that can punish an unbalanced party.

After winning, take the Meteorite from the machine. You can return it later to Professor Cozmo in Fallarbor for a reward.

Water and Ground coverage are the clean answers. Camerupt is the reason this fight can suddenly turn if your team is underleveled.
