Epidimy Town is a sleepy little settlement at the foot of Thundercap Mountain, and is the first stop in any Pokémon trainer’s attempt to traverse the complex Thundercap Mt. cave system.
It is also where the Master Ball can be acquired after capturing Hoopa at Crystal Peak, as well as several other useful items including the HM Strength.
