Mt. Chimney (Japanese:えんとつ山Mt. Chimney) is a large volcano in theHoennregion. The peak is accessible via cable car fromRoute 112, and from there a path south leads downJagged Pass.
After thevillainous team has left,Lava Cookies are available for purchase from an old lady for$200 at the top of Mt. Chimney. InGeneration III, once theplayer has visitedLavaridge Town, several Trainers appear around the crater and are available for battle.
Mt. Chimney is a volcanic mountain located in the northern half of Hoenn, directly northeast ofLavaridge Town. At its southern base liesRoute 112, the Cable Car Base Station, and both the northern and southern openings ofFiery Path, a tunnel through the mountain itself. The Cable Car line inclines up the side of the volcano northwesterly until it reaches the other terminal at the peak. Here a choice can be made to continue on the short ascent to the magma crater of Mt. Chimney, or take Jagged Pass descending the south side of the mountain; a trek littered with ledges, mountainous foliage and ash-covered grass hiding wild Pokémon, then finally vacating back onto Route 112, on a pathway west to Lavaridge.
The volcano accumulates a vast cloud of soot above it which rains ash down uponRoute 113 to the north, leaving the grass and trees in the area layered in residue.

InFight For the Meteorite!, the group hopped on Mt. Chimney'scable car service, with adisguisedTeam Rocket joining them. However, the cable car's power was shut down midway through, forcing Ash to climb across the cable to Mt. Chimney for help. At the summit, he foundProfessor Cozmo searching for theMeteorite, but as soon as he managed to find it,Team Magma andTeam Aqua appeared, with both intending to steal the Meteorite for themselves.
Although Ash and Cozmo managed to evade thevillainous teams for a while, the Meteorite was eventually stolen by Team Magma, who placed it inside a laser machine with the intent of triggering Mt. Chimney's eruption. As there was no time to get the Meteorite out of the machine, Cozmo chose to push it into the volcanic crater, destroying the Meteorite and foiling Team Magma's plan. After Ash's friends and Team Rocket were rescued from the cable car, Cozmo instructed the group to take theJagged Pass to reachLavaridge Town before parting ways with them.
InAbsol Absolved!, Ash andGoh visited Mt. Chimney to figure out the cause behind Lavaridge Town's hot springs drying out. The townspeople blamed anAbsol for the incident, but as Ash and Goh climbed up the volcano, they discovered a group ofGlalie having moved on the mountain and frozen over a part of it to make it a more suitable habitat for themselves. Ash and Goh realized that the Glalie had frozen the source of the hot springs, but were stopped from approaching them by Absol. As Goh looked deeper into Lavaridge Town's history, he discovered that a similar incident had happened before, and all the ice melting at once had caused aphreatic eruption. Working together with Absol, Ash, and Goh were able to prevent the eruption and restore water to the hot springs. In the process,Absol ended up joining Goh's team after hecaught to save it from being hit by boiling-hot water. The people of Lavaridge Town also agreed to take the Glalie to a place better suited for them.
In Pokémon Adventures, it is stated that Mt. Chimney is an integral part of thewater cycle of theHoennregion, as the heat emitted by it evaporates water from the sea around the region.
InShort Shrift for Shiftry, the cooling of Mt. Chimney was revealed to have resulted in the region itself cooling down as well and the sea levels rising. This, in turn, had resulted in the energy balance of Hoenn being disrupted andGroudon andKyogre moving closer to awakening.
InIt All Ends Now V, after Groudon and Kyogre's battle had been stopped, Groudon was revealed to have chosen Mt. Chimney as its new resting place.
In the TCG
The following gallery is of cards mentioning or featuring Mt. Chimney in thePokémon Trading Card Game.
In Generation III Hoenn games, all waves and flowers blow in the wind to the southwest. Despite this, ash from Mt. Chimney is constantly falling to its north, onRoute 113.
A man inVerdanturf Town, which is located to the southwest of Mt. Chimney, says that the wind never blows volcanic ash in that direction. However, the wind should inevitably carry ash there.
