Perpetually obscured by a sandstorm, Agassiz is a desert town connected by Route 308.5 to the north, Route 309 to the west, and the Psychic Temple in the middle of town. It's the location of the Secret Base as well as the third gym.
Walkthrough[]
Upon entering town the player comes across a cutscene involving Jake and a Team Asgard/Olympus Commander. Once the cutscene completes, the player must battle Jake. Defeating Jake earns the player the HM for Cut as well as safe passage into the heart of Agassiz Town.
Because the gym is currently inaccessible, the player must complete the Psychic Temple before gaining access to the gym.
Even after defeating the gym the player will still be unable to access Route 309. The player must travel back to Fianga City where they will now be able to use Cut to access the gym. Once the Fianga Gym has been cleared, the player will be able to continue on their journey by entering Route 309.
Before completing the events in Agassiz Town the player should travel to the northeastern part of town where they will be able to access their Secret Base for the first time. Also, a Black Belt claims to be able to teach the player's Pokémon Mega Punch or Mega Kick, however neither of these moves appear to be compatible even with the Pokémon that learn them through level up.

Agassiz Town Gym[]
The Agassiz Gym is a Rock-type gym, so bring Water-, Grass-, Fighting-, Steel- or Ground-types for an advantage. There's a sandstorm inside so the Go-Goggles should prove useful. To get to Jonathan the player must push the boulders aside and fight the gym trainers to make a path over the sand.
