Oreburgh City is the first city with a Gym you’ll come to in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Other than the gym, however, there are a few things to do here.
Main Story¶
You’ve come to Oreburgh City to challenge Roark, but first, you need to find him.
Head south of the city to Oreburgh Mine. It’s not hard to find Roark, and he immediately returns to the Oreburgh Gym so you can head on up there and challenge him when you’re ready.
Items¶
There are a few optional but important items you should find in Oreburgh City.
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
 Dusk Ball |
In the first building towards the top right of the city after entering from the left - head upstairs and talk to the child. |
 Heal Ball |
In the next house to the right, talk to the man with a  Zubat in your party and he’ll be impressed enough to give you this. |
 Great Ball |
The house below the museum has a boy who will hand this over on the second floor. |
(1 of 2) Talk to the boy sitting down for the Great Ball

Notable Encounters¶
Like every city, this town has a Pokémon Center. Use it to heal your Pokémon whenever you need to.
In the same house you found the Heal Ball, there’s a woman who will offer to trade her 
Abra for your 
Machop. As Abra is pretty hard to catch, this is a worthwhile trade you should consider.
It’s actually a pretty good offer, especially this early in the game.
There are various other NPCs around the houses who will offer tricks and tips for early players of the games. Seasoned players, however, shouldn’t have to worry about these.
