The sprawling ironworks is located with the forest at its back. The ironworks refines iron ore mined from Mt. Coronet to make iron and to manufacture mechanical parts.
The Fuego Ironworks (Japanese: タタラ製鉄所Tatara Ironworks) is a location in Sinnoh. Its motto is "Home to Molten Foundries." The building is owned by Mr. Fuego, a man who will give away a free Fire Stone to players who reach him in Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl. In Pokémon Platinum, however, Mr. Fuego will offer the player four colored shards in trade for one Star Piece, one of each color (note that this can be repeated and thus Mr. Fuego can trade anytime should the player offer him a Star Piece). The interior of the building features spin tiles needed to navigate through the building.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Additionally, wild Pokémon can appear on the Honey Tree.

Unlike in the games, the Fuego Ironworks in Pokémon the Series is abandoned and shut down due to pollution. The facility has been infiltrated by Team Galactic and reactivated secretly to experiment on the Red Chain and Veilstone meteorites.
The Fuego Ironworks was first mentioned in Double Team Turnover!, where Mars reported that the research on the Veilstone meteorites that was being conducted there had been completed, and that the Red Chain project was nearing completion.
The Fuego Ironworks first appeared in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!. Ash and his friends entered to rescue Looker and the Team Rocket trio from the clutches of Team Galactic. The Ironworks is also the location where Jupiter and Charon constructed the Red Chain. When they left, Charon left a fragment of the Red Chain for Looker to examine. When scanned directly into the International Police database, this caused the scanner to explode and the International Police database to be wiped.
Fuego Ironworks first appeared in Winning Over Wingull, where Pearl arrived there by accident after getting lost from his intended route to Lake Valor. After arriving, he was reunited with the Luxray that he had encountered several weeks earlier as a Luxio. Hearing voices from within the facility, Pearl rushed in to find Mr. Fuego, who revealed that Team Galactic had used the facility to produce the parts they required for the Galactic Bomb. After defeating the Pokémon that Team Galactic had left behind to guard the facility, Pearl asked Mr. Fuego for a list of parts that the villainous team had ordered.
In Cautious Clefairy, Mr. Fuego gave Pearl the list of ordered parts, which, to Pearl's confusion, revealed that Team Galactic was only building one Galactic Bomb, despite their goal being to capture all three lake guardians. He then offered to deliver some bolts and nuts to Rad Rickshaw in Eterna City in order to ask the bike shop owner why Team Galactic had held him captive earlier.
