Quake City is an important route for all pokemon trainers hoping to challenge the Dregga Region's Pokemon league. It is home to the fifth gym of the region with a gym leader specializing in Ground-type pokemon. Quake City itself is a large industrial city with its heart being the ores, minerals and evolution stones of all kinds which are mined from the caves beneath the city. These caves are treacherous as the city itself experiences numerous small earthquakes a day and some larger magnitude quakes every few weeks. These quakes usually open up new paths within the caverns beneath the city and condemn old ones. If travelers seek to explore these caverns they are always warned to carry 'Escape Ropes' or a Digging Pokemon should they be trapped.
