Platinum Valley Windworks

Turbines turn day and night at the Valley Windworks outside Floaroma. Commander Mars grabs the station early on, and on Fridays the balloon Pokemon Drifloon bobs up to its door.

Valley Windworks is in Sinnoh. In the story it comes after Floaroma Meadow and continues west to Route 205.

Electric-types gather around the power plant, led by Electrike at 40 percent with the Sinnoh squirrel Pachirisu mixed in. A Pokeradar Mareep adds a 22 percent chain, and on Fridays a Drifloon drifts up to the door for a level 15 encounter.
