The surface rock in the mine pit was much harder than ordinary ground. The blue-black rocks exposed on the surface were natural training weights, far better in quality than ordinary rocks.
Most of the Trainers who came to train in the Oreburgh Mine used power-oriented Pokémon. Rock-type, Ground-type, Fighting-type, and Normal-type Pokémon accounted for well over half of them.
Under their Trainers' direction, everyone worked on different exercises. Once they had completed a certain amount of training, they would seek out opponents for actual battles, hoping to quickly turn their increased strength into practical fighting power.
