Oreburgh City is a city located in central Sinnoh. Oreburgh is first accessible via the Oreburgh Gate, which is to the west of the city. This is one of two connecting routes to getting to the City. The other is Route 207, which is north of the city. The Oreburgh Mines is to the south of the city. It is the location of the first Gym in Sinnoh, led by Roark. It is here where trainers receive the Coal Badge, the first badge one can earn in the conquest of the Sinnoh region's Pokémon League.

Oreburgh is a mining town blessed with significant natural resources. Prominent vents throughout the city exchange the stale air from the mines below with the fresh, above-ground air. There is a girl in the city who will trade the elusive Abra for a Machop. Oreburgh is home to the Oreburgh Mining Museum, as well as the Oreburgh Mine. The miners often take breaks in the Gym between the work shifts. Roark lets the citizens of the town train their Pokémon in the mines.
