Dungeon Parts
Scenery
Lower Floors
The ground is a tan, dirt-like texture, with lava being very common and found in large quantities throughout this section. The wall consists of gray stone with lava veins showing. This begins at floor 1 and ends at floor 11. There is no darkness and these floors are commonly Sunny.
Mid-Lower Floors
The ground transitions from tan to a darker-colored dirt with this section. The walls are orange stone with the lava veins being more prominent. The amount of lava is consistent with the amounts on the previous floor. Darkness is introduced in this area. This lasts from floor 12 to floor 25. The weather on these floors, like the previous, is usually Sunny.
Mid-Upper Floors
The floor and walls are a dark red color, though the walls have more prominent lava veins than previous floors. Lava on the floor becomes less common. The darkness increases, limiting field of vision further, and the weather stays the same as previous floors. This begins at floor 26 and ends at floor 41.
Upper Floors
The scenery takes a drastic change. The floor is now a purple stone pattern and the walls are a dark red color. Lava on the floor grows more common, like in the first few sections. The darkness continues, though offers a good range of sight. Sunny weather is still common; the upper floors begin at floor 42 and last untill 60.

Players can also obtain Groudon's Heart Slate, which is also a rare drop from Groudon. With this Heart Slate, players can combine the Heart Slate with the Mystery Part to summon Groudon in dungeons. This also gives the player access to Groudon's Precipice Blades if Precipice Blades is a move that is selected when Groudon is summoned.
The Pokémon that are found in this dungeon give a lot of experience, so training here is a viable option.
