Attention all explorers currently touring Galar Mine No. 1. You are now approaching one of the most visually stunning areas of the mine. As you can see, the tunnel walls are embedded with glowing crystals of various colors, including blue, green, red, and purple. These crystals are not only beautiful, but also serve as a valuable source of energy for the region.

This section of the mine is also a habitat for several Rock- and Steel-type Pokémon, which may appear unexpectedly. Stay close to your guide and be prepared for wild encounters. For your safety, no loud noises or running is allowed in this area. If you wish to collect samples, you must be accompanied by an authorized miner. We’ll continue our tour to the central excavation chamber shortly, where you’ll learn how the crystals are processed for use in Dynamax technology.

Announcement:
Welcome once again to Galar Mine No. 1. You’ve now reached the central staging area where operations are coordinated and mining equipment is stored. On your left, you’ll notice a stationed worker in high-visibility gear. Please do not interrupt them, as they may be monitoring excavation tools or Pokémon activity underground. The blocked tunnel behind the minecart is currently under maintenance due to a minor cave-in, so avoid approaching it. The sparkling object on the ground nearby may be a valuable item or mineral shard—trainers often find useful materials while exploring. Ahead, you’ll see the main track curving deeper into the mine, where Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon are more commonly found. Follow the rails with caution, as this area may include narrow passages and sharp turns. Crates and barrels placed around the track contain tools for mining and first aid supplies for workers. If you need to rest or organize your team, there’s a rest stop ahead before the mine exit. Keep moving forward to continue your journey through the cave system, and remember to stay alert for any Pokémon that may challenge you along the way.
