Tarmigan Town may be a sleepy little settlement, but it has a number of secrets lurking for those brave enough to seek them out.
The most notable of these is the Mega Stone Challenge, and while on your way to Dehara City you might as well stop by to challenge Successor Maxima for the right to Mega Evolve Pokemon.
In addition, the Dream Research Center is here in Tarmigan Town, as well as a number of dream and nightmare-related mysteries that need to be solved.
