  1. The first time you enter Stark Mountain, reach its end together with Buck. Buck will steal the Magma Stone from the mountain, causing it to shake. Exit Stark Mountain.
  2. Fly to the Survival Area. Go to the house located left of the Pokémon Center. This is Buck’s house. Talk to his grandfather to hear the story of a dangerous Pokémon who sleeps in Stark Mountain, then to Buck. Buck will relent and return the Magma Stone to Stark Mountain.
  3. Go back to the last room you entered in Stark Mountain and you will find Heatran ready to be captured.

And that’s it! Congrats, you’ve saved the region from Heatran’s wrath and got yourself a powerful Pokémon.
