This will show encounter rates for each Pokémon with each method. Sometimes a Pokémon is of a specific version (Vers.); a HeartGold Pokémon is HG, and SoulSilver is SS. Then there are the encounter rates for the morning (4:00 AM to 9:59 AM), day (10:00 AM to 7:59 PM), and night (8:00 PM to 3:59 AM). The method explains how to get it - whatever I say can be an action (ie. surfing), a place (ie. grass), or an item (ie. Old Rod). Generally, this is easy to interpret if you have the correct method available. For this guide, I decided to do away with the stuff post-National Dex. As for the Trainers' Pokémon, I won't give individual strategies per Trainer as I did with my D/P/Pt FAQs, either. I'll simply list the Pokémon and levels. (You realize that the charts almost were most of the data in those FAQs?). You will know that a Trainer will have this set of Pokémon and so on; I'm just not doing a strategy or name. Okay, after starting the game and selecting "New Game", you'll be asked if you need help with the game. If you don't the last option will do it for you. You will then meet Prof. Oak and be asked of your gender - boy or girl. If you are a boy, your partner in-game will be Lyra; if you're a girl, your partner will be Ethan. For this walkthrough, I will refer to Lyra as your partner if I ever do. And then you'll be allowed to pick your name and be able to play. As with most other Pokémon games, you'll start off in your room. Go downstairs and your mother will speak with you and the menu on the Touch Screen will become active. You can press X to enter this menu, or tap it with your stylus. When you're done, leave the house. When you do, a Marill will come up to you, soon followed by your partner leaving from Professor Elm's lab. The two will vanish for now. Go left to see another person peering into the lab. This is your rival, Silver (I'll probably use the former). If you have a dire urge to be kicked, speak with him and go into the lab. When you do, you'll be spoken with a bit. Soon, Elm receives a call from Mr. Pokémon. Elm will then ask you to pick up what he has for him. You'll need some form of protection, so you'll get to pick your starter Pokémon. Walk on up to the machine with the Pokéballs. Press A to start looking around and to select your starter. ~~ Chikorita is a Grass type Pokémon. It'll evolve at Lv. 16 to Bayleef and again at Lv. 32 to Meganium. Grass-types are weak against Fire, Ice, Bug, Poison, and Flying moves. They DO have an advantage over Water, Ground, and Rock Pokémon, though. Picking this Pokémon will make the game tough to do early on, because the first two Gym Leaders are Flying and Bug specialists. ~~ Cyndaquil is a Fire-type Pokémon. It'll evolve at Lv. 14 to Quilava and again at Lv. 36 to Typhlosion. Fire-types are weak against Water, Rock, and Ground moves. Their advantages are against Ice, Bug, Grass, and Steel. This Pokémon will have a relatively easy time until about the 8th gym. It is also one the only Fire-types you can own without trading for a while. ~~ Totodile is a Water-type Pokémon. It'll evolve at Lv. 18 to Croconow and again at Lv. 30 to Feraligatr. Water-types are weak against Grass and Electric moves, while being advantageous against Fire, Rock, and Ground types. Water is quite good for a beginning player, as you'll often come across Rock/Ground types, and there are two pretty powerful Water-type HMs. There is something you may want to do while looking at the Pokémon. See, as you know, you can see a picture of the Pokémon. If you have any prior experience with Pokémon and know the usual pictures, look. There is a 3 in 8192 chance that one of the Pokémon is shiny. However, that is a mere .0366% chance, but you never know... Once you've chosen your starter Pokémon, it'll follow you around for the course of the game, like your Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow. Aside from Yellow, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, this feature is nowhere else - not even Gen. V! This will work for any of the 493 non-glitch Pokémon in the game, as long as they're in the first slot of your party. You can "talk" to them sometimes and sometimes get items! To heal Pokémon, you can use items or Pokémon Centers. For now, until you get to the next town, you'll have to use the blue PC at the top of the room. Go exit the lab to be given precisely five Potions. They are items that'll heal HP - 20 points of it. Soon after getting the Potions, you'll find your partner. They'll talk to you and leave. Return to your house and your mother will give you the PokéGear, an item also in the original G/S/C. This is able to hold phone numbers for now and change the graphics of it - this will be changed later on. She'll then ask if you need to know how to use it. Finally, begin to leave New Bark by going east. Elm will give his number, and then you get onto the first road of your adventure ... ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 29 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Hoothoot | Both | 0% | 0% | 85% | Grass | | Pidgey | Both | 55% | 55% | 0% | Grass | | Rattata | Both | 5% | 5% | 15% | Grass | | Sentret | Both | 40% | 40% | 0% | Grass | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers available for battle here. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Continue west through the grass. This grass is one location where you can encounter some wild Pokémon. This is the basic grass -- unlike Black/White, there is no "double battle" grass. The Route itself is rather straightforward. However, when you can go east, but stay above the ledge and to the northeast of the route to find a Potion. You'll also find a gatehouse leading to Route 46 but ignore it for now. Further west, you'll find a tree surprising like a berry tree. IGNORE IT FOR NOW, and go west into Cherrygrove City. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Cherrygrove City ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Tentacool | Both | 90% | 90% | 90% | Surfing | | Tentacruel | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Surfing | | Magikarp | Both | 95% | 95% | 95% | Old Rod | | Krabby | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Old Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Good Rod | | Krabby | Both | 37% | 37% | 37% | Good Rod | | Corsola | Both | 3% | 3% | 0% | Good Rod | | Staryu | Both | 0% | 0% | 3% | Good Rod | | Krabby | Both | 67% | 67% | 67% | Super Rod | | Corsola | Both | 30% | 30% | 0% | Super Rod | | Staryu | Both | 0% | 0% | 30% | Super Rod | | Kingler | Both | 3% | 3% | 3% | Super Rod | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers available for battle here. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Upon entering Cherrygrove, an old man will talk to you and guide you around the city. Afterwards, you'll be given the Running Shoes. This feature allows to run at a high speed (compared to walking). Another unique feature to this game not even Black/White got was that you can press the shoes icon on the Touch Screen to lock-on the Running Shoes (ie. not have to hold B). After this, go to the Pokémon Center to heal if you need to and try to exit Cherrygrove to the west. The old man will then rush out of his home and give you the Map Card for the PokéGear, which will let you see the regional map and your current location via PokéGear. Now, to Route 30. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 30 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Pidgey | HG | 40% | 50% | 0% | Grass | | Pidgey | SS | 10% | 50% | 0% | Grass | | Ledyba | SS | 30% | 0% | 0% | Grass | | Caterpie | HG | 50% | 35% | 0% | Grass | | Metapod | HG | 10% | 15% | 0% | Grass | | Weedle | SS | 50% | 35% | 0% | Grass | | Kakuna | SS | 10% | 15% | 0% | Grass | | Spinarak | HG | 0% | 0% | 30% | Grass | | Hoothoot | HG | 0% | 0% | 30% | Grass | | Hoothoot | SS | 0% | 0% | 60% | Grass | | Rattata | Both | 0% | 0% | 40% | Grass | | Poliwag | Both | 90% | 90% | 90% | Surfing | | Poliwhirl | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Surfing | | Magikarp | Both | 95% | 95% | 95% | Old Rod | | Poliwag | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Old Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Good Rod | | Poliwag | Both | 40% | 40% | 40% | Good Rod | | Poliwag | Both | 93% | 93% | 93% | Super Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 7% | 7% | 7% | Super Rod | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers available for battle here. | |___________________________________________________________________________| By now, you'll want to have your starter fighting any wild Pokémon you come upon to fainting for the EXP., unless you plan to catch said Pokémon. Of course you'll be return to a Pokémon Center for healing, but that tends to be fairly standard. A few steps into the Route and you'll find a Potion to your side. Continue northward and into the house to get an Apricorn Box. An Apricorn Box will store any Apricorns you get off of the trees like the one on Rt. 29. These had an ancient usage as primitive Pokéballs. You can use these Apricorns later on to earn such Pokéballs, although they can't really be transferred to Black/White as items, individually -- Apricorn Pokéballs are exclusive to G/S/C/HG/SS. Leave the house to find an Apricorn Tree, in fact. Continue northward along the route and pick up the Antidote on the side. Do not go left where the path diverges, but continue straight up. Soon, you'll reach a house. Grab an Apricorn and go inside. Here, you'll find Professor Oak and Mr. Pokémon. Mr. Pokémon will give you an object that you're to give Prof. Elm. (It seems to be an egg.) Oak will then speak with you and give you the Pokédex. For now, it can document the 256 Pokémon of Kanto, Johto, and the five Pokémon evolutions that came with the coming of Diamond and Pearl. Okay, leave the house. You'll then receive a distress call from Prof. Elm, forcing you to answer and then go back to New Bark Town. Let's return first to Cherrygrove. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Cherrygrove City ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Tentacool | Both | 90% | 90% | 90% | Surfing | | Tentacruel | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Surfing | | Magikarp | Both | 95% | 95% | 95% | Old Rod | | Krabby | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Old Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Good Rod | | Krabby | Both | 37% | 37% | 37% | Good Rod | | Corsola | Both | 3% | 3% | 0% | Good Rod | | Staryu | Both | 0% | 0% | 3% | Good Rod | | Krabby | Both | 67% | 67% | 67% | Super Rod | | Corsola | Both | 30% | 30% | 0% | Super Rod | | Staryu | Both | 0% | 0% | 30% | Super Rod | | Kingler | Both | 3% | 3% | 3% | Super Rod | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers available for battle here. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Heal up here.

Examine this spot to find a Potion. Then go into the lab. You'll immediately be accused of being a criminal, soon after which your partner will object and say otherwise. You'll name the thief (your rival), the same person who stole [the Pokémon you battled earlier here]. The cop and your partner will leave, and you'll give Prof. Elm the Mystery Egg. Leave the lab and go into your house. Speak with your mother and she'll ask if you want her to save your money. This will reduce your income by approximately 10%, but she'll occasionally buy rare items like a Silk Scarf or a Moon Stone. The money from battling is sent to her automatically. Heal up and leave to Route 29. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 29 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Hoothoot | Both | 0% | 0% | 85% | Grass | | Pidgey | Both | 55% | 55% | 0% | Grass | | Rattata | Both | 5% | 5% | 15% | Grass | | Sentret | Both | 40% | 40% | 0% | Grass | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers available for battle here. | |___________________________________________________________________________| As you get here, your partner will show you how to capture Pokémon. The basic idea is to lower the Pokémon's HP (preferably into the red) and possibly give the Pokémon a status (preferably Paralysis or Sleep). The Pokémon itself, it's current condition, and the Pokéball used will affect the chance of catching success. Remember, you can only use a Pokéball on a WILD POKEMON or the Pokéball will be wasted -- remember, not even a Master Ball can catch a caught Pokémon. (A Park Ball can, but that is technically usually yours.) After the tutorial, you'll get five Poké Balls. Let's go onto Route 46 real quick. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 46 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Spearow | Both | 35% | 35% | 0% | Grass | | Rattata | Both | 25% | 25% | 55% | Grass | | Geodude | Both | 40% | 40% | 45% | Grass | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: There are no Trainers available for battle here yet. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Why here? Well, you'll want to catch a few new Pokémon, right?

This time, you'll want to go left when you're at the fork -- if you picked up everything earlier, there's nothing else to say. Now, take the left path and you'll battle a Trainer with a lone Rattata. After this battle, he'll ask if you want his number. You'll probably want to refuse it -- all you'll really get is continual calls about how friggin' great his Rattata is or something. Also, if you plan to get a Pokémon evolving via Water/Leaf/Fire/Thunderstone, you'll want to NOT add him. There are only four Trainers you'll want numbers from, in fact. After this battle, go further for another battle. After this battle, in the flower patch to the right, examine the flower four steps below the bottom-right part of the bottommost tree to find a Potion. Continue further onward for another battle.

I put that there to try to shorten everything. Otherwise, I would have to list "Caterpie Lv. 3" three times. The number beside the "x" means how many times that it should be put there. Unstated multipliers mean there is just one. Now, onto the Route. The Pokémon you'll find in the wild are the same, excepting Bellsprout. It is a good idea to get it if you need a Grass-type (ie. if your starter was Cyndaquil). Anywho, go forward to the cave and pick up the Potion nearby. Ignore the cave for now and go to the left to get a Black Apricorn. Pick up the nearby Poké Ball and battle the Trainer. This Trainer can occasionally give you a Lum Berry, which heals all statuses except KO/Faint and Pokérus, so you might want his number.

Onix is a Pokémon you'll be able to get fairly soon, but there is one point to remember -- Falkner specializes with Flying types and Onix, a Rock/Ground type, would have an advantage. It'll come at the same level that your Bellsprout was, with a Hasty nature and holding a Persim Berry. Now then, go north and west at the fork to find a Pokémon Gym, your first of the game. The PokéMart is nearby, so buy some Poké Balls and Potions and stuff. The Gym is closed for now, though. Now, head across the first bridge to the tower and go to the spot two steps north and one east from the southeast corner of the island. Examine the spot to find a Poké Ball.

Aside from this, speak with a guy in an orange suit if he is there: he'll be there if you mother bought you a gift with the money she's been saving for you.

You'll some of the ruins with a gap in the front. Follow it north, east, north, and west as the path goes to find part of the ruins. And this room will feature part of the Kabuto puzzle, with a bit from Crystal version. Go to the top of the room, past the puzzle, and look at the Unown hieroglyphics on the wall. Then use the Escape Rope. The Escape Rope will be lost, removing the section of wall. Go into the room and grab the Oran Berry, Pecha Berry, Heal Powder, and Energypowder. Ignore the hole and return to the Kabuto puzzle room. Examine the piece behind the wall below the new gap with the A button to see the puzzle. It is Touch Screen based (obviously unlike the originals). You'll only have to solve four pieces. ~~ Move the top-left one next to the piece with the matching eye. Then double tap thrice for the correct rotation. ~~ Move the bottom-left one to the top, where you'll find the gap between the top and top-left corner. Double tap it once for the correct rotation. ~~ Move the right-hand pieces and put it into the middle row on the right-hand hap. Double tap it twice for the correct rotation. ~~ Move the bottom one and put it into the left side and double tap it thrice to finish the puzzle. After finishing the puzzle, you'll be sent underground. After dropping down, you'll be given the Unown Report, which will let you see which of the 28 Unown species you've caught. (There are A through Z, ?, and !). This area is now completely filled with Unown. They are rather weak and only know Hidden Power. Once you're done, use the ladder in the center of the room. You can also go to the northern gatehouse. There, smash some rocks if you want. You'll probably find some Pokémon (ie. Geodude) or items (ie. Fossils). Once toy've broken those three, go to the ruin on the right and break those two rocks and grab the Hyper Potion. Also, if you break the smashable rocks on the top, you can examine the solid rock on the top-left to get a Rare Candy, which can raise a Pokémon's level by one. To the south, examine the stand-alone rock for a Great Ball. Then go under the closed ruin next to the water on the west and examine the small mound of dirt to find a TinyMushroom. That'll be it for the ruins, it seems, unless you want to train or search for items. You can also visit Dark Cave and grab a Dunsparce.

As you do, a guy will talk to you and give you the Miracle Seed, an item that'll boost the power of the holder's Grass-type moves. This guy will only block you if you haven't grabbed the Togepi egg. Continue southward for a battle. To the left, you'll a find a tree. Just take notice of it: this tree can only be removed with the move Cut. Continue south to the rock and you'll find a Repel in the nearby grass. Battle the nearby Picnicker, and she'll ask if you want her number. Further south, continue down the left side of the path. You'll see the Magnet Train track. Pretty neat, I guess. A bit into the grass is another Trainer. Continue further south to find TM09, which teaches Bullet Seed. Not exactly powerful, though. Go back up that patch of grass and into the northeast patch for a Great Ball. Then go south some more and down the stairs to find another Trainer. More and more south and you'll find a person selling Slowpoketails for a LOOOT of cash. Further ahead is a Pokémon Center; use it. While you're in there, speak with the fisherman in there to get an Old Rod. It'll help you catch Magikarp or Goldeen, for the most part. Then exit the Pokéon Center and return to where you fought the trainer with the Wooper. Take the right fork onto the bridge. You'll find three fisherman to battle, one of which will try to give you his number. Unlike Gen. II, he won't report swarms, so he's rather useless. Further ahead is another trainer. Defeat him and slightly more south to find a rock. Smash it and grab the Shell Bell. When held by a Pokémon, it'll restore some its HP when an attack hits. Return to the Pokémon Center and heal your Pokémon. Leave it and go onto the ledge on the left. Examine the tile on the bottom-left corner of it to find a Great Ball. Then go into the cave nearby. FYI, if it happens to be Friday (or you set the DS to read as such), you can go into the alcove above the Pokémon Center to find Frieda; speak with Frieda to get a Poison Barb. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Union Cave ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Rattata | HG | 10% | 10% | 10% | Walk around 1F | | Rattata | SS | 40% | 40% | 40% | Walk around 1F | | Zubat | Both | 25% | 25% | 30% | Walk around 1F | | Geodude | Both | 30% | 30% | 30% | Walk around 1F | | Onix | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Walk around 1F | | Sandshrew | HG | 30% | 30% | 30% | Walk around 1F | | Rattata | HG | 5% | 5% | 5% | Walk around B1F | | Rattata | SS | 35% | 35% | 35% | Walk around B1F | | Zubat | Both | 25% | 25% | 25% | Walk around B1F | | Geodude | Both | 30% | 30% | 30% | Walk around B1F | | Onix | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Walk around B1F | | Sandshrew | HG | 30% | 30% | 30% | Walk around B1F | | Quagsire | Both | 40% | 40% | 40% | Surfing | | Wooper | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Surfing | | Magikarp | Both | 95% | 95% | 95% | Old Rod | | Goldeen | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Old Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Good Rod | | Goldeen | Both | 40% | 40% | 40% | Good Rod | | Goldeen | Both | 90% | 90% | 90% | Super Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 7% | 7% | 7% | Super Rod | | Seaking | Both | 3% | 3% | 3% | Super Rod | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Vulpix Lv. 9 | | Onix Lv. 11 | | Geodude Lv. 4, Geodude Lv. 6, Geodude Lv. 8 | | Koffing Lv. 6 (x2) | | Slowpoke Lv. 11 | |___________________________________________________________________________| If you didn't get Onix earlier, you can get it here. It is Rock/Ground type and obviously has high Defense, but relatively low Attack and Special Defense. It'll later evolve by trading while holding a Metal Coat into Steelix; this probably won't happen until you begin to explore Kanto. (Magnemite do have a 5% chance of holding one, though.) Sandshrew, exclusive to HeartGold (for this area), is a Ground type that'll evolve into Sandslash later on at Lv. 22. It is worth getting. Okay, to the place itself... Upon entering, head a bit to the left to notice you can go up or down; go up. Grab the X Attack on the left and go straight up. A Firebreather will then be nearby; defeat his Vulpix and move down the stairs to B1F. Upon descending, go straight forward and examine the rock you'll hit to find an X Speed. Keep going left and you'll find TM39 (Rock Tomb). It'll be a good move for Geodude or Onix. Go the northern portion of the room to obtain an X Defend. The rest of the area will be inaccessable until later on, when you can use Surf out of battle. So leave for now. Back on 1F, go down at the fork. Defeat the two Hikers you'll find. Go further from the second to find a set of three rocks on the right wall. Go into the spot between two of them and examine the wall for a Great Ball. Go southward for another Firebreather battle. Then collect the Great Ball from the corner. Go west and weave between the rocks on the top half of the water to grab the Potion between the rocks down the path. Go out of this section and continue southward to find a stand-alone rock; examine it to find a Parlyz Heal. Continue southward some more to find a Pokémaniac. At the fork further ahead, go right (nothing on the other side) and pick up the Awakening beside the cave exit. Then go through the exit yourself. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 33 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Rattata | HG | 40% | 45% | 60% | Grass | | Rattata | SS | 10% | 15% | 30% | Grass | | Spearow | Both | 20% | 20% | 0% | Grass | | Hoppip | Both | 35% | 35% | 0% | Grass | | Zubat | Both | 5% | 0% | 40% | Grass | | Ekans | SS | 30% | 30% | 30% | Grass | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Geodude Lv. 11, Machop Lv. 11 | |___________________________________________________________________________| A short route if there ever was one.

He'll block the entrance into Slowpoke Well, but we need not worry about this ... for now. Firstly go to the cabin to the southeast of the Pokémon Center. Go around to its front and examine the logs to find a Full Heal. Go west some to find a house surrounded by three log piles. Shake the nearby tree for an Apricorn, then heal up in the Pokémon Center. (Speaking of Pokémon Center, you can now go downstairs to get the Pal Pad, which will let you Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to trade with Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver Versions. However, you CANNOT trade with Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, Black, or White Versions. (You sort of can with the GBAs, but not now.)) Finish up your business and go to the house on the ledge. Go inside to find Kurt, the man in this game who can make Poké Balls from Apricorns, and his granddaughter. Speak with Jurt to get him riled up about the Slowpoke Well being blocked, thereby having him dash out of the house. Do so yourself.

You'd want to find a Great Ball, but ... Kurt is standing on the tile it's hidden on. >_< Oh, well... Come back later; for now, go into the hole on the left and further in. Inside, you'll fight your first Team Rocket Grunt. Further ahead, you'll find a Super Potion; past that, another Grunt. Go down the two sets of stairs and examine the stand-alone rock to get a Super Potion. Return up the stairs and go left for another Grunt. Speak with the last person, the Team Rocket Admin, that is here with the team to battle him. __________________________________ | BOSS: Team Rocket Admin Proton \ |___________________________________\________________________________________ | Pokémon: Zubat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 8 | | Koffing (Poison) Lv. 12 | | | | Money Earned: $480 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | How "clever" to name a somewhat-high-ranking member "Proton", which | | denotes he has command over several others, possibly called "Quarks". | | *booes at bad joke* | | | | Anywho, this battle is easy enough.

This kind of Pokéball has a quadruple catch rate compared to that of a normal Poké Ball, and double that of an Ultra Ball. However, it only on Pokémon that can run away from battle. This is common with the roaming legendaries (the Lati's of Gen. III, Mesprit (at least) of Gen. IV, and the legendary beasts of HG/SS) and Teleporting ones (like Abra). Quite useful. Kurt will also offer you his skill of making Apricorns into Pokéballs. These Pokéballs will be completed at the next striking of midnight (00:00 on the DS game clock). The Apricorns given and the Pokéballs received are as follows: ~~ Red Apricorn = Level Ball. - These balls will help out more if there is a large level difference between the Pokémon you have out and the Pokémon you're trying to catch. ~~ Yellow Apricorn = Moon Ball. - These balls will help out more if the Pokémon being caught can evolve with a Moon Stone. There's only about a dozen or two that can. ~~ Green Apricorn = Friend Ball. - These balls will increase the base happiness of a Pokémon. ~~ Blue Apricorn = Lure Ball. - These balls will help out more if the target Pokémon is one you've found using the Old/Good/Super Rod. ~~ Black Apricorn = Heavy Ball. - These balls help out more if the target is heavier. ~~ White Apricorn = Fast Ball. - These balls will help out ... WAIT! Didn't I just explain this!? ~~ Pink Apricorn = Love Ball. - These balls will help out more if the target has an gender opposite to that of the Pokémon you have out. Thusly, it is useless to use it on genderless Pokémon (ie. legendary Pokémon). After this, you'll also be given the opprotunity to get Kurt's number.

As you do, teach a Pokémon Cut. )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Ilex Forest )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Caterpie | HG | 50% | 60% | 0% | Walk around | | Weedle | SS | 50% | 60% | 0% | Walk around | | Metapod | HG | 30% | 30% | 0% | Walk around | | Kakuna | SS | 30% | 30% | 0% | Walk around | | Zubat | Both | 5% | 5% | 25% | Walk around | | Paras | Both | 15% | 5% | 15% | Walk around | | Oddish | Both | 0% | 0% | 60% | Walk around | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Spiky-Eared | Both | Event | Event | Event | Bring the event | | Pichu | | | | | Shiny Pichu to | | | | | | | Celebi's shrine. | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: No trainers are located here. | |___________________________________________________________________________| This time, go north to the tree and Cut it down, which will let us go forward. You'll find a shrine, like the one in the Sinnoh games' Celestic Town. If you bring an event Shiny Pichu here, you can get a Spiky-Eared Pichu, which will be forced to remain in this game -- you cannot import it to Black/White, amazingly enough. Without this Shiny Pichu, the shrine has no real worth. Go to the left when done. You'll reach a tiny fork soon after the sign; go into the small alcove to grab the X Attack hidden by the trees, but you can bump into the Pokéball itself. Leave this alcove and go the nearby pond. Examine the second tile from the left two spaces below where the water begins to find an Antidote. Further east of here, you'll find a joint in the path where you can go ahead or around a tree. Go around this tree and inspect the tile one space away from the tree in the top-left back corner to find a Repel. If you go east to a piece of land behind three trees, you'll find a visible Antidote. Continue further eastward and you'll find someone near a tree. Leave him alone for now and go a tiny bit north and slide into the two-step wide normal grass between the trees and examine the slot before the tree to find a Super Potion. Continue along the path to find a kimono girl. We'll come back to her in a bit; head east, rather than north, and into the path of trees leading to the guy from earlier. A bit south, you'll find a place where two trees protrude and make the path narrower. Past them, continue down the path to the guy from earlier. You'll see him headbutt a tree (ouch...). Talk to him and he'll turn out to be the Headbutt move tutor, because Headbutt isn't a TM here. This person will teach Headbutt to a Pokémon as much as needed for free. You can use Headbutt on any tree -- it isn't as specific as G/S/C -- and you might get a wild Pokémon. Okay, then. Jump off the ledge nearby and go the way you went again, but head north through the ledge to have the kimono girl speak with you. Say yes to her question and the Pokémon following you at the moment will show her the way out. This will let you pick up the nearby Ether. Then go into the top-right corner of where the Ether was and go left until you smack into a tree. Look down and examine the ground to get a Tinymushroom. Then go four steps up and two steps left and examine the ground a Full Heal. THEN go left into the tree again, then three steps down and three steps left, look up, and examine the ground to find am Ether. Finally, go left a bit and into the gatehouse. While there, speak with the lady with the Butterfree behind the counter to get TM12 (Taunt). Go through the exit and onto Route 34. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 34 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Drowzee | Both | 50% | 50% | 50% | Grass | | Rattata | Both | 35% | 35% | 35% | Grass | | Abra | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Grass | | Ditto | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Grass | | Tentacool | Both | 90% | 90% | 90% | Surfing | | Tentacruel | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Surfing | | Magikarp | Both | 95% | 95% | 95% | Old Rod | | Krabby | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Old Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Good Rod | | Krabby | Both | 37% | 38% | 38% | Good Rod | | Corsola | Both | 3% | 3% | 0% | Good Rod | | Staryu | Both | 0% | 0% | 3% | Good Rod | | Krabby | Both | 67% | 67% | 67% | Super Rod | | Corsola | Both | 30% | 30% | 0% | Super Rod | | Staryu | Both | 0% | 0% | 30% | Super Rod | | Kingler | Both | 3% | 3% | 3% | Super Rod | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Rattata Lv. 7, Sandshrew Lv. 10, Spearow Lv. 8 (x2) | | Snubbull Lv. 13, Mareep Lv. 13 | | Mankey Lv. 10, Diglett Lv. 12 | | Hoppip Lv. 9 (x2), Bulbasaur Lv. 12 | | Growlithe Lv. 17 | | Psyduck Lv. 14 | |___________________________________________________________________________| Drowzee, a new Pokémon for you, is rather useful as a Psychic-type and is easier to catch than Abra (also new for you), although if you can catch Abra, I'd train it ... somehow. You'll have to put it as your first Pokémon and do a switch at the start to level it, or use Rare Candies and the EXP. Share you don't have yet. Why must you train an Abra like this? All it has is Teleport. (Made it a pain in Red/Blue for the Mew glitch.) As for Ditto, that is one you'll want for breeding and/or the Pokédex. Other than that, I see little use in it. Anywho, go to the right and battle the Youngster. After this, continue forward and battle the Pokéfan, past which you'll find another Trainer to battle (he will ask for your number, but it is just for rematching). After this battle, examine the top-right corner a few steps to the right of the Youngster and the tree to find a Super Potion. After this, go down into the grass and battle the Trainer there. Get her number if you ever plan on getting Pokémon that evolve via the Leaf Stone. Then go northward to find the Daycare and your partner will come and speak with the person outside. They'll notice you and show you around it. You'll then be given the numbers of the Daycare managers. The old man can be to find out if the two Pokémon have had an egg; the old woman can be used to find out how well the Pokémon get along and how they've grown. Finish up here and go north to find a guard, which you'll be able to battle at night. After the battle, if any, continue north to find one more Trainer. His number's usage is debatable -- in Crystal, he told of bargain sales on the roof of the Dept. Store in Goldenrod, though I haven't noticed a call from him detailing such. To the right of this Trainer, in the grass, you'll find TM63, which is Embargo, which prevents the usage of items by the opponent for a certain time period. Good when you're fighting a Gym Leader or your rival or someone that enjoys to heal when their Pokémon is in/almost in the red. After this, go north into Goldenrod City. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Goldenrod City ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | There aren't any wild Pokémon here. | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Grimer Lv. 11 (x2) | | Lickitung Lv. 12 | | Magnemite Lv. 7 (x2), Magnemite Lv. 9, Voltorb Lv. 11 | | Slowpoke Lv. 11 (x2) | |___________________________________________________________________________| After entering, go to the left and into the Pokémon Center to heal up. After this, we'll explore around a little. Go up the street and left at the second left and go into the building on the left. This is the radio tower where we can get a Radio Card for the PokéGear; it is required for progress through the story. Speak with the rightmost receptionist and decide to do the quiz, the answers to which are as follows: Question #1 -- Yes. Question #2 -- Yes. Question #3 -- No. Question #4 -- Yes. Question #5 -- No. After this, you'll obtain the Radio Card. Whitney will then come up and speak with you, after which she'll go to her Gym in Goldenrod. Next, go up the nearby staircase to the second floor and speak with the dark brown-haired woman behind the glass to get a Blue Card, which will let you take part in Buena's Password. Now, about the Radio Card... Access the PokéGear and tap on the radio-like icon to start it. Now, you'll probably start in one of the four corners of the "globe" or whatever. Move the dot to find a show -- one in each corner, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right -- and move it around some more to try to get a good signal, although you can use the buttons on the sides to auto-tune. The only show of use right now could be Prof. Oak's (top-right), which can report Pokémon swarms. Buena's Password will play on the bottom-right station. Exit the Radio Tower and go west to find the GTS. If you've played Platinum, you'll be familiar with the layout; if you haven't, then look around it some. It is rather useful for trading for seen-but-not-owned Pokémon. Return to the main street and go south and then west into the lane between the Pokémon Center and the flashy building. Enter the said flashy building to find the Game Corner. Talk to ... someone ... in the room to obtain a Coin Case. Here, with enough coins that are held in the Coin Case, you can get some Pokémon (how cruel!) and some great TMs. Dratini is a great addition to the team. Continue following the lane until you reach the dead and go into the nearby building, which will let you into the Goldenrod Underground. Here, you'll find your partner and their Marill. They'll give the Fashion Case, an item that can hold dress-up props for photo shoots and whatnot. Finally, go into the main part of the underground area with all the trainers and stuff. In the Underground, go forward to battle the Super Nerd, who features a neat (and oddly cute) robotic Pikachu. Further ahead is a Pokémaniac, also for battle. Go northward to battle another Super Nerd and another Pokémaniac. If you want to get your picture taken with your current party, speak with the guy at the counter. You'll later be able to see this photo on your PC at Pokémon Centers or wherever you find a PC. This picture is unique because you will wear the costume of a Team Rocket Grunt. You can also speak to the nearby Hiker to accessorize and take pictures of your Pokémon individually, the gallery for which is through that doorway. That's it for the underground; return to the main city. Next up, go in front of the tent to your right (if you took the northern exit) to find a Name Rater. Do whatever there, and go down the street and into the building opposite the Pokémon Center. This is the Goldenrod Dept. Store. The first floor sells nothing, but the orange delivery man may be here. The second floor holds basic item that, unlike Poké Marts, aren't affected by the number of badges you have. Thusly, you can easily find Great Balls AND ULTRA BALLS. The third floor lets you buy the in-battle stat boosters -- like X Attack and so on. The fourth floor has vitamins for your Pokémon ... each at $9,800 a piece. It isn't worth it unless you're specificly doing EV training. The fifth floor has a lot of TMs. Preferable purchases include TM70 (Flash), TM54 (False Swipe), TM38 (Fire Blast), TM25 (Thunder), and TM14 (Blizzard). On the left of this floor, you'll find a person willing to trade you a Machop for a Drowzee, a good choice for this Gym, since Whitney uses Normal types. On Sundays on the fifth floor, you'll also find a second clerk on the top part of the counter and you may get the Return or Frustration TMs, depending on the happiness of the lead Pokémon. On the top floor, you can get a lottery ticket from the southernmost girl on the counter to get random berries for $300, or maybe TMs. You can also buy some healing items for your Pokémon from the vending machines. Lemonade is a great choice, costing about half of the Super Potion while giving 1.6x the HP restoration (80 points). It'll be annoying buying one at a time, though. Get in the elevator to go to B1F. There, you'll find some Machoke pushing boxes around. What you need to do to get the boxes to move is to talk to the fighter guys when they're facing a Machoke. Move all the boxes to get an Ether, a Burn Heal, and an Ultra Ball. Do whatever business you have here and exit the store on 1F. Back in Goldenrod, heal at the Pokémon Center. Go up the street and take the first right. Follow the path around and into the blue building to obtain the Bicycle! This will let you move around faster than running with the Running Shoes. As you exit the shop, go straight down until you bump the lampost and face left. Examine the ground to find a Super Potion. Be sure you're healed up, and go to the northeastern part of the city to find and enter the gym. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Goldenrod Gym ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | There aren't any wild Pokémon here. | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Sentret Lv. 9, Sentret Lv. 13, Sentret Lv. 16 | | Meowth Lv. 16 (x2) | | Snubbull Lv. 17 | | Jigglypuff Lv. 15 (x3) | |___________________________________________________________________________| To start, ascend the steps just ahead go north to battle a Trainer.

After this, sidle back through the gap, go north and west, and south through the arch. Focus on going generally west, battling the Lasses as you go.

Greeeat, we just lost a battle we won. As you leave, a trainer will stop you, telling you to try to speak with Whitney again. Do so to receive the Plain Badge, which will let you use the HM Strength outside of battles. You'll also obtain TM45 (Attract), which can infatuate a Pokémon of the opposite gender. Infatuation means that half of the time, the infatuated one cannot do a move.

This is a flower shop; we aren't here to buy flowers though. Speak with the girl in here to get the Squirtbottle. You'll need to this to go further in the game. Exit this building and stock up on Ultra Balls; you'll be seeing a Pokémon we have to battle to get further in the game pretty soon, and it happens to be one-of-a-kind for HG/SS. Heal up at the Pokémon Center if you haven't yet done so. Exit the area to the north. There, speak with the guy in the gatehouse to get a Spearow with a piece of mail.

After this, go east to possibly find Cameron, a photographer who can put the photos in the PC. Further ahead are two Campers and then a Picnicker. Past THEM, you'll find a Juggler and a Firebreather. The latter two should offer their numbers; it's rematching only, though. Even further ahead is a guard, who can only be battled at night. After any battle that occurs, if any, go east through the grass to find a Bug Catcher. He, too, offers his number; it, too, is just rematching. Ignore the Cut tree and let's go the long way, through the grass. At the end, you'll find a Bird Keeper. Battle him and then go into the gap on the right to find TM66 (Payback). Return to the main part of the route; as you do, go left into another gap for the Parlyz Heal. Go back to the National Park gatehouse. Go inside and through the left exit. A guy and his Poliwrath will speak with you and show you to the Pokéathlon Stadium. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Pokéathlon Stadium ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) The man who brought you here will introduce himself as Magnus, the founder of the Pokéathlon. Once he and his Poliwrath leave, you'll be able to look around. Now, if you go into your Pokémon's status screen and look at your ribbons, you can look at the Pokéathlon stats for the Pokémon: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump. The more stars, the better the Pokémon is in this stat. I think Ditto, Sunkern (!?), and Arceus each can have five stars in all stats. If you go left of the stadium and interact with the three cylindrical objects, the guy nearby will speak with you and give you the Apriblender, an add-on to the Apricorn Box. This will let you juice Apricorns to give drinks to your Pokémon to raise their Pokéathlon stats. It's pretty easy to use. If you go into the stadium and by the front desk, Whitney will come and explain the Pokéathlon to you, rush off, and give you an athletic outfit to wear when you participate in the Pokéathlon, much like your mother did in D/P/Pt with the Contests. The Pokéathlon isn't Wi-Fi -- you can participate alone, or with friends -- in entirety or entirely rewarding, but the main idea is to get the items from the far right counter. Here, you can get each EVOLUTION STONE. The prizes will change daily for now, and expand after obtaining the National Dex. To actually enter the Pokéathlon, go to the middle counter and speak with that person. Choose the competition and your Pokémon and off you go. The nurse to her right will sell some cards at varying prices for stats viewing. After entering and choosing your Pokémon, you'll be shown the event and the rules, controls, etc. Press start to begin. They are all Touch Screen based (yeah, if you couldn't figure it out by now, this wasn't in the originals). You'll know your score after the event. There are three events. The highest score will win. You'll always get some of those points for buying whether you win or lose. Anywho, there is an FAQ on GameFAQs all about the Pokéathlon.

This item, when held by a Pokémon, gives it a 1 in 10 chance of moving first, regardless of Speed stat. It is useful if your Pokémon is being EV trained for stats other than Speed, or is naturally slow, like Shuckle. There, bump into the top-left tile of the flower bed from its LEFT side. Go one step up and examine the ground on the left to find a Full Heal. Go up the path nearby and into the main park. For now, go around the edge of the park to the northeast corner. There will be a gap in the fence around here, next to a guy holding a DS. Go through said gap and follow the path to the right to find Soothe Bell, which helps to increase its happiness. Also take notice of the rocky wall; this is a wall you use Rock Climb to get up. Rock Climb is an HM that you won't get for quite a while, though. Return to the gap and go left. Follow the path and go straight at the fork; the right path is a useless dead end. Go down there anyways and examine the ground one tile up from the lampost to find a Full Heal and return to the small alcove. There is an item hidden behind the tree in the bottom-left corner; hug the left side of the wall to find it. It is TM28 (Dig). Afterwards, exit out of the gap into the main courtyard. Time for some battling. Go to where the lady was near the wall and west and south into the grass to find a Trainer with a Raichu. Then go to the west side of this longer grass patch for another trainer. Exit the grass and go around to where the main path from the outer portion to the inner portion of the park is and go into the grass nearby to find another Trainer. Get her number; she'll occasionally give you Nuggets. On the right hand side of the shorter grass is your last trainer for now.

It has a resistance to Normal and Flying. However, you want to | | catch it, mainly because this is virtually a one-timer, unless you do | | some trading. Thusly, repeated usage of False Swipe, followed by Quick or | | Ultra Balls should do it. Later on, have Sudowoodo relearn Wood Hammer, | | a 120-Power Grass move. | |____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, you'll be given some Berry Pots, three Oran Berries, and three Pecha Berries. Remember the berry-growing thing in Generations III/IV, and how it was absent in Generation II? This is the alternative. Using the Berry Pots, you can grow berries. For now, start growing Oran Berries. Now, you have to choose: do you want to keep the Spearow with the mail and/or just go on to the next city, or do want to get TM44 (Rest)? The next paragraph will tell you how to deliver the letter. IF YOU WANT TO DELIVER THE LETTER AND THEREBY LOSE THIS SPEAROW, go east from where the Sudowoodo was and go back onto the Violet City portion of Rt. 36. Go into Violet, through the city, and onto Route 32. Talk to the fat guy next to the Apricorn tree. You'll deliver the letter and earn TM44. Then go on to the next paragraph to continue to the next part. IF YOU DECIDED TO KEEP SPEAROW, OR JUST WANTED GO ON AHEAD WITH IT, from where Sudowoodo was, head north and you'll be able to get onto Route 37. As you do, you'll find a Hyper Potion on the ground to the left. Once you've gotten it, head onto Route 37. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 37 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Pidgey | HG | 60% | 50% | 0% | Grass | | Pidgey | SS | 20% | 50% | 0% | Grass | | Pidgeotto | Both | 0% | 5% | 0% | Grass | | Hoothoot | HG | 0% | 0% | 20% | Grass | | Hoothoot | SS | 0% | 0% | 60% | Grass | | Growlithe | HG | 10% | 15% | 10% | Grass | | Vulpix | SS | 10% | 15% | 10% | Grass | | Stantler | Both | 30% | 30% | 30% | Grass | | Ledyba | SS | 40% | 0% | 0% | Grass | | Spinarak | HG | 0% | 0% | 40% | Grass | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Drowzee Lv. 17 | | Mareep Lv. 16, Marill Lv. 16 | | Clefable Lv. 16 (x2), Wigglytuff Lv. 16 (x2) | |___________________________________________________________________________| When you enter the route, go to the right into the grass.

Eevee is a level five, Normal-type Pokémon. It'll learn an STAB-type attack at level 16 if it evolves. Here are the Eevee-lutions: ~~ Flareon: Use a Fire Stone. ~~ Vaporeon: Use a Water Stone. ~~ Jolteon: Use a Thunderstone. ~~ Umbreon: Get Eevee happy and level it up at night. ~~ Espeon: Get Eevee happy and level it up during the day. ~~ Glaceon: For this, in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, and White, you had to find a big icy rock and level it up in that area. However, such a rock seems to not exist, so you'll HAVE to trade. ~~ Leafeon: It is entirely like the Glaceon situation, but with a mossy rock. Now, back to Ecruteak City.

Whip it out (...that didn't sound right...) and go to the house just north of the Dowsing MCHN guy's house. The colors will act kinda like thermal palettes - red indicates far away, white indicates very close, and so on. The top mound of dirt will have a Hyper Potion. When you get close to it, the Dowsing MCHN will then relate your position (orange dot) to the hidden item. There are several other hidden items in the city: ~~ In the second lamp from the left, next to the western gatehouse, it an Ultra Ball. ~~ There is a Rare Candy somewhat-south of the east pond. ~~ There is an Ether in the logs on the right side of the Burned Tower. (Just FYI, having played many Pokémon games, I may accidentally refer to the Dowsing MCHN as an Itemfinder. Please assume I'm talking of the former; they are generally one and the same.)

Then go down and break the rocks with Rock Smash to find an HP Up. Go one square right from where you collected the Antidote and look up. Press A to find an Ultra Ball. Return across the bridge and go down the ladder. On B1F, walk a few steps down the stairs to have the legendary beasts flee; Entei to the west, Raikou to the east, and Suicune ... we'll see it in a bit. Eusine will then come down the ladder and speak with you. Now, if you have Strength, push the bottom-right boulder one space forward. Move the one above it one space up. You can then cross and collect TM12 (Taunt) in the northwest corner of the room. Go all the way to the bottom of the room and behind the southwest pillar. This one has a gap you can fit through. Do so it end up the southern side of the upper part to find a hidden Revive by examining the stand-alone rock. Return to the other side and go near the ladder. Descend the stairs again and take the north path, up the stairs, to a raised part in the northern portion of the floor. Use the Dowsing MCHN to find an Antidote in a stand-alone rock.

These Pokémon will roam the Johto region, and seem to change location as you do. You can encounter them randomly in the grass if they're on your Route. Unless somehow they are flee-blocked (due to Mean Look, Shadow Tag, etc.), they will flee. You can get a move in before such happens. If flee-blocked, they will go on the offensive, possibly using Roar (ie. battle ends). You can catch them with any ball, but an Ultra Ball is STRONGLY recommended. As for Pokémon typically on Route 38, Tauros, Miltank, and Magnemite are all good additions to your team. I'd at least get Magnemite for the Electric typing of it. Okay, onto the Route. Upon entering, take the grassy path and battle the Sailor on the left. Then exit this lane and take the southern path instead. Go to the bottommost one firstly to get the Max Potion, then go onto the upper path to battle a Bird Keeper. After the battle, go west and grab the Apricorn, then jump off of the ledge and into the grass to battle the Beauty. After that battle, start eastward to find a Lass to battle. Get her number because she may give you a Thunderstone (which is only useful in Generation IV for Eevee and Pikachu, I think). After this, go west for a School Kid training a Mr. Mime. He'll block the way now, so go to where you fought the Beauty and go west. The Corsola trainer from G/S/C has mysteriously vanished, so that'll be it for now.

(It was like this in the original G/S/C. There was nothing but a warp to a Beta Safari Zone in the originals, though; the Pal Park is in the Kanto Safari Zone's spot from the Red/Blue/Yellow/Green days, I think.) Get his number and he'll leave. We'll visit the Safari Zone later. Go up to the ranch and grab the Apricorn nearby. Into the field where the Miltank are to find a PP Up four steps down from the top-left part of the fence. Go a bit further to find TM60 (Drain Punch) behind a tower. Go seven steps left from the front of the tower to find a Nugget. Search the right-hand side of the ranch with the Dowsing MCHN (I forgot the specific location) to find an X Attack. Now, go into the ranch house itself, taking the left entrance into the shed. If you have seven Oran Berries, speak with the Miltank seven times to give them to her. (It doesn't have to be at this time.) Speak with the girl on the left to receive a Seal Case, which holds Seals to give your Pokémon special effects when the Pokéball opens. You'll also be given some Seals. Go into the main portion of the house and speak with the woman to get TM83 (Natural Gift). You also speak with the guy to get Moomoo Milk (an item that restores 100 HP) for $500 a piece, in amounts of one or a dozen/twelve. Exit the ranch and go southward for the four battles listed above. There is grass on the west side of the path for wild Pokémon catching.

Of course, that means you can surf for Pokémon here. When you enter the city, your rival will leave the Pokémon Gym, and I think speak with you. Once he leaves, head for the Pokémon Center and heal. Then go into the first house to the south of the city entrance you find. Inside, speak with the fisherman to get a Good Rod. Leave the house and go down to find the Harbor, changed from G/S/C. There isn't a fishable place here. Oh well. Go to the Poké Mart, use it if need be, and go up the stairs nearby and go into the east house. Talk to the girl inside for some Seals. Go into the other house to find a person who'll give you a Voltorb for a Krabby. Krabby, in fact, can be caught in Olivine, so it's a pretty good idea. Outside this house, there should be a little open part of the ledge west of the house. Examine said spot for a Full Heal. Go south and up the stairs to the right. This will lead to the Lighthouse of Olivine City, which has a fair amount of Trainers. Not Pokémon, though. You'll have to come here to be able to get the sixth badge. Yes, this is the section for the FIFTH, but that's on the way to the sixth.

Battle and defeat the trainer with the Pidgey, then go up the ladder to your left. Battle the gentleman on the right, beat him, go down, and battle and defeat the Lass. Pick up the TM87 (Swagger) in the left corner. Go through the hole on the right when you're done. And thusly, you're outside the Lighthouse. Thanks to tilting-down of the view since the G/S/C (technically R/S/E/FR/LG) days, you can see the sky here, too. Pick up the Rare Candy on the other side of the Lighthouse, and then enter it again from the front entrance here. Beat the sailer and collect the Ether on his right. Go left a bit and examine the crack on the floor to find a Hyper Potion. Go up and battle and the bird keeper and go up to 4F via ladder. Do it again on 4F. Go down and battle and defeat the Sailor. Go around to the other side of the room to battle another Sailor. Get your picture taken in the bottom-left corner if you wish, collect the Super Repel in the room, and go up the ladder to the top floor of the Lighthouse - 6F. On 6F, speak with the girl next to the Ampharos (FYI, an Electric-type Pokémon evolved from Flaaffy, which evolves from Mareep) to learn that she is the Olivine City Gym Leader, Jasmine. She'll request that you get her the Secretpotion (a cure-all) for Ampharos, because she can't it unlock. She'll unlock the door at the bottom, so you can leave via the elevator.

(It sucks you can't use the "Surfboard" glitch item like you could in Red/Blue.) Once you're on the water, battle the Swimmer in front of you, then go east for another battle. Go south and onto the small island to find TM88 (Pluck), a Flying-type move with decent power that can use a Berry the opponent is holding.

There is Mantine, a Water/Flying type with decent Special Defense. It is weak against Electric (4x), but the Ice, Rock (?), and Grass weaknesses are nullified. However, it is only on HeartGold. The other is Chinchou. It is Water/Electric, which should nullify at least the Ground weakness - plus, it can absorb Electric moves, I believe. To start, Surf southward and hug the east wall for a battle. Go back and Surf west for another battle. Ignore the whirlpool you'll probably see and continue west for another Swimmer. You'll pass an island blocked by a whirlpool; ignore it and the next whirlpool, as well as the Cianwood coast to the south, for another Swimmer to the east, then another one to his north. Then go south for another Swimmer and east for another two. Surf south and west past another whirlpool. At the left/up fork, go up and battle this Swimmer, and go back down for another battle.

It'll be Level 20 and of a different ID/Secret ID/OT (or it should), so it'll get boosted EXP. It'll also come with a Berry Juice. It actually isn't worth using, for me. You probably can make some use of it; just beware it is among the slowest Pokémon in the game. Then go into the southernmost building and speak with the guy behind the desk to receive the Secretpotion for Ampharos. Leave and go to the tribe-like things on the east side of the island. Examine the third one from the bottom, on the right side, to get a Stardust. Once you're ready, go to the northern part of Cianwood to see Suicune! It'll jump off and Eusine will appear.

So rainy, it has recently flooded the land, evident by the trees protruding from the water. It is also known for another thing. Surf out to the center of the lake to find it. It is none other than a red Gyarados, seen once in the anime, and optional in the original G/S/C. In HG/SS, though, it is part of the game, so you are guaranteed to get one Shiny Pokémon, because that is what it is. (This wasn't my first, though. My first was Gulpin in Sapphire, though I didn't even know it for a few years! ... After I had erased my file.) Speak with it to battle it. ____________________________________________ | Special Encounter: #077 (Shiny) Gyarados \ |_____________________________________________\______________________________ | Level: 30 | | Type : Water/Flying | | Moves: - Bite | | - Dragon Rage | | - Leer | | - Twister | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | First, on Shinies. Shiny Pokémon are those with specific IV stats -- an | | invisible predetermined stat. When a Pokémon has these, its appearance | | will be different. For example, a shiny Gyarados is red while a normal | | one is blue; a Shiny Celebi is pink while it normally is green. Such an | | appearance change can be dramatic (eg. Ho-oh, Sceptile) or almost | | unnoticeable (eg. Pikachu, Zapdos). Generally, the stats of Shiny Pokémon | | vary little from a regular Pokémon. The chance of finding one is about | | 1/8192, or more precisely as 6/65536, which is about 0.009%. | | | | Now, onto Gyarados. It is weak against Electric moves (4x), and MAYBE | | Rock. It is immune to Ground. You'll probably have no problem with it as | | the moves, to be honest, are crappy at this time. The best method, as | | usual, is False Swiping until it hits one HP, then throwing an Ultra Ball | | at it. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Right after this battle, you'll also get the Red Scale. Now, Surf southward onto land to see Lance, the Dragon-type trainer of the anime and the Elite Four. Speak with him and you'll be enlisted for taking down Team Rocket in Mahogany. However, there is a VERY IMPORTANT item you'll want to get. It isn't required, but is useful.

Rather than use a Pokémon or something to get rid of it, you'll be tripping them. Do so to have a Grunt come and battle you, with the first of the repetitive battle teams in the above summary. Another will come afterwards, with the other. Go left and trip the next camera for two more battles. Now, go into the corridors through the hole on the left, and then right for another camera and two battles (why not use double battles, though?). Pick up the Hyper Potion in the assumable southern part of the area; examine the northeasternmost tile for a Revive. Go south and around to trip several more switches (enjoying the EXP. yet?). After the first switch, go west and pick up that Nugget. Go further left to find another switch and two more battles. Enter the yellow teleporter to return to the start. Return above if needed (you DID just go through almost a dozen battles) to heal. When you return to the start, go into the corridors but go down when you approach the Persian statue. Go around and battle the Scientist. As you do, pick up the Guard Spec. to the right. If you wish to turn off the Persian cameras, interact with the computer terminal. Go back to the northwestern part of the room and battle the Grunt on the left. Then head down to find the hideout's trap. Stepping on the wrong tile will have you battle a low-20s leveled Pokémon; it'll be Koffing, Geodude, or Voltorb. I don't really think the odds can technically be 33 1/3% each, but there are three in this situation, so deal with it. These can be caught, KO'ed, or ran from. Past the trap, go on to B1F. <= B1F => When you go down to B1F, Lance will greet you and heal your Pokémon, then leave. Go to the east to battle a Grunt, then go south and west. Examine the middle box to find a Full Heal, then head to the far east and beat this Grunt. Go down to B2F afterwards. <= B2F => You'll see Lance again. He'll inform you of the passwords the Rocket Hideout has and that we have to find them. They are quite easy to find. Go into the room northwest from where you are and battle the Scientist and the Grunt. Speak with the Grunt after she's defeated to get a password. One down, one to go. Go out of this room and west, and then straight to the top to find TM49, Snatch. Go back down and enter the small room on the left to find another Grunt and another Scientist. Speak with the Grunt after he is defeated to get the second password. While you're here, pick up the Protein and the X Special next to the northwestern plants. Leave this room and east and north, to where you found TM49. Go right and take the stairs up. <= B1F => Here, go straight down. Examine the yellow computer or whatever it is to find an X Sp. Def. Go back north and west, defeating the Grunt as you go, and then down the stairs. <= B2F => Firstly, take the stairs directly below you and pick up TM46, Thief. Go back down afterwards and approach the locked door and your rival will appear. RIVAL FIGHT! Or so you'd think. It's just talking; I guess he has the decency to not battle a weakened opponent. Grab the Ultra Ball on the right, then interact with the door. This will unlock it. Once you get inside, there'll be someone who looks a bit like Giovanni (if you done the event in HG/SS or played Red/Blue/Yellow/Green/FireRed/LeafGreen). It is just a Rocket Admin, who you shall fight. _____________________________ | BOSS: Rocket Admin Petrel \ |______________________________\_____________________________________________ | Pokémon: Zubat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 22 | | Koffing (Poison) Lv. 22 | | Raticate (Normal) Lv. 24 | | | | Money Earned: $880 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Zubat, as usual, is weak to Psychic, Ice, Rock, and Electric moves, with | | an immunity to Ground. | | | | Koffing is weak to Psychic. Not Ground, as its ability immunizes it. | | | | Raticate is weak against Fighting, with an immunity to Ghost. | | | | Recommendations: Whatever you used for the last few battles should do. | | To be specific though, Kadabra, Alakazam, Graveler, Golem, Vulpix, | | Growlithe, Ninetales, or Arcanine, at least one of which should be in | | your party, at Lv. 30+ should be more than enough. | |____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, Petrel will flee. However, Murkrow will start acting like a Chatot and blab everything Petrel has mentioned and hop off. Go back to the place on B1F with the shutter and two Grunts and Murkrow will guide you. You can then go to the B2F after it (go down the corridor for a Full Heal). Just keep following. <= B1F => Eventually, you be back on B1F. Attempt to open the shutters to be stopped by an Admin and a Grunt. Lance will come and save the day, in an HG/SS major change: double battle! ___________________________________________________________________ | BOSS: Rocket Admin Arianna & Team Rocket Grunt -- Double Battle \ |____________________________________________________________________\_______ | Partner Lance's Pokémon: Dragonite (Dragon/Flying) Lv. 40 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rocket Admin Arianna's Pokémon: Arbok (Poison) Lv. 25 | | Murkrow (Dark/Flying) Lv. 27 | | Gloom (Grass/Poison) Lv. 25 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Team Rocket Grunt's Pokémon: Drowzee (Psychic) Lv. 18 | | Grimer (Poison) Lv. 20 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Money Earned: $2,960 | |============================================================================| | Lance's Dragonite alone could overpower these Pokés.

It is immune to Ground | | and Psychic.

The only option is to defeat each of the Lv. 23 Electrode around here. You can either KO or capture them. Unlike the original G/S/C, they don't constantly try to Selfdestruct. I remember a day on Gold where all three blew up on me. Suicidal maniacs. Once you've deal with them, you'll run back to Lance and be given HM05, Whirlpool. Whirlpool has replaced the Defog HM of D/P/Pt, as there ISN't any fog in this game. It isn't really the best battle move, but it can let us cross whirlpools like you found between Olivine and Cianwood. SoulSilver players may as well teach it now; they'll have to go to the Whirl Islands, which is riddled with whirlpools, eventually. Anyhow, Lance will leave, giving us the freedom to do so as well. Go back up to the first floor and step into the teleporter. Go up the stairs and back into Mahogany Town. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Mahogany Town ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Here, you'll find that the Mahogany Gym is unblocked, letting us attempt our seventh Gym.

Slide across the ice to hit a block. Slide right and then up. In the third room, battle the trainer on the left. Go to the northwest part of the floor and slide right and up to battle another trainer. Slide right, down, left, and take a step down onto non-icy land.

It | | also has Thick Fat, halving Fire/Ice damage (which is reduced to 1/4 by | | typing). | | | | Dewgong is stronger, generally. It is weak to Grass, Electric, and I | | believe possibly Fighting. It can use Aurora Beam and Ice Shard (Ice | | moves) for 150% of their normal power, and Rest and Sleep Talk in a way | | Seel can. It also has Thick Fat, which, taking all into account, will | | make Fire do half-damage, and Ice do 1/8 damage. Don't use Ice moves. | | | | Piloswine is weak against Fighting, Rock (?), Steel (?), Fire, Water, | | and Grass. It can use Ice Fang and Blizzard, powerful Ice moves, with the | | latter being fully accurate in Hailing weather. It also has Hail, and Mud | | Bomb, a Ground move. So, yeah, all its offensive moves -- except Hail -- | | get 50% extra power.

Battle the Pokémaniac, and the Fisherman nearby, after this. Surf on the water and go south to find the grass on the route. Here, you can find Tangela and Lickitung, Pokémon who got new evolutions as of Diamond and Pearl. They can still evolve here because of the moves being here: at Lv. 33, Tangela can learn Ancientpower (it's evo move) and Lickitung gets Rollout, its evo move, at Lv. 33.

It also has Swinub and Jynx, both pretty powerful for your team (once the former evolves). Delibird is exclusive to SoulSilver, although it is rather useless. Anyhow, once you enter, follow the along onto some slippery ice. Slide up, right, up, right. Go onto the platform and follow it around. A bit left of where you are upon descending from the platform is a complicated ice puzzle. Slide up and hit the rock, then go left, up, down, left, and examine the rock for a Max Potion. Slide up and right to reach the other side. Go right and enter the second puzzle through the gap between the rocks. Go up, left, down, left, up, right, and grab HM07 Waterfall. It is a fairly powerful Water-type move. Slide left along the ice, then down and left, and up the steps. When you approach the guy, check the middle of the three rocks above for an Ice Heal. (This guy will stop your forward progress if you lack HM07.) Continue forward and down the ladder. On B1F, you'll eventually notice the Sneasel from Crystal lacks existence here. Aww... Go along the path to find some Strength boulders. Go behind the first one you come across, positioned near the southwestern part of the small path. Push this boulder forward until you cannot do so antmore. Ignore the other boulder and go to the bottom. Follow the path north, west, north, and west some and you'll be above the boulder you pushed. Go to the left side of it and push it one tile right, then push it from above and into the hole. Go to the boulder just below, next. Push it a tile forward, three down, left five. Go around the hole and get above the boulder and push another down and right down another hole. Go to the far east and up this time keep going north and not left. Another boulder will be found. Push it left one tile, and then down until it'll go no further. Go and push it one tile left, down three, up one, and right until it goes down into the hole. Go a bit above for the last one. Push it up until it'll go no further, then to the right until it goes no further. Push it up three tiles and left into the hole. Take the ladder down. On B2F, go up some and to the left to hit the boulder. Go up, left, down, left, pick up the Max Potion and go down, right, down, right, up, and around into the boulder against. Slide down, left, up, right to reach the center area. Pick up the Full Heal and go down the ladder. Before doing so, be aware you can examine the wall between the rock and the protruding wall in the southeastern corner to find a Carbos. On B3F, go right, smash the rock, and grab the NeverMeltIce. Jump off of the ledge and up the ladder. On B2F, go down and slide on the ice to reach the ladder. Go next to it, but slide to the right, then up, four spaces left and slide down and right to find TM72, Avalanche. Slide up again and follow the platform around. Go to the ladder and go up. On B1F, go left and down via the side of the ice to the last tile of width that means you'll be next to the ice. Slide left and examine the rock for a Revive. Slide up, right, up to get back on the path. Push the boulder via Strength one tile down. Go to the right on the last width of the ice tile again, and slide to the left, up, left to hit the boulder. Slide down for the Iron, then up, right, and up to return to ladder. Go far west and up the ladder. On 1F, grab the Protein just above you. You'll find a kimono girl on the ice. Go to the right tile in the two-tile-wide gap. Slide down, left, down, right, and speak with the kimono girl to give here a push. Slide up, left, down, left, up, right, down, right, down for the PP Up, up, right, up, left, down, right, down, and exit. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Blackthorn City ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Magikarp | Both | 100% | 100% | 100% | Surfing | | Magikarp | Both | 95% | 95% | 95% | Old Rod | | Poliwag | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Old Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 60% | 60% | 60% | Good Rod | | Poliwag | Both | 40% | 40% | 40% | Good Rod | | Magikarp | Both | 7% | 7% | 7% | Super Rod | | Poliwag | Both | 93% | 93% | 93% | Super Rod | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: No Trainers are here that can be battled. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Go south and into the main portion of Blackthorn and heal yourself in the Pokémon Center. Go to the far left house. The top-left person inside can delete moves your Pokémon have, including HM moves. The one to his right can reteach any move a Pokémon knows/knew/forgot, except TM/HM moves, for a Heart Scale. The middle right woman will teach Draco Meteor to a happy-enough Dragon-type (or Arceus with the Draco Plate held) - it is a 140-Power move that'll lessen the user's Sp. Attack by two levels. The last guy will teach Blast Burn to a sufficiently happy Charizard, Typhlosion, Blaziken, and Infernape; Hydro Cannon to Blastoise, Feraligatr, Swampert, and Empoleon; and Frenzy Plant to Venusaur, Meganium, Sceptile, and Torterra. Each move is 150-Power (technically 225, because of the STAB) and will cause the user to rest on the next turn. The northeastern house has someone that will give you Dodrio for a female Dragionair. Kinda pointless unless you have a free Dragonair. The woman on the other side will give your Pokémon (in the first slot) the Effort Ribbon, but only if it has the maximum of 510 EVs. That's it.

It also | | has Dragon Rage (40 HP of damage), Dragon Pulse, Bite (Dark move), and | | Twister. | | | | The Dragonairs are weak to Ice and Dragon moves. They both can use | | Thunder Wave to paralyze you, Dragon Pulse, and Slam, the latter two of | | which are pretty powerful. One of them has the 120-Power move Fire Blast, | | which will hurt Grass, Bug, and Steel types; the other has Aqua Tail, | | which is 90-Power, and can easily hurt a Rock, Fire, or Ground type. | | Other than the Aqua Tail/Fire Blast thing, they are otherwise identical. | | | | Kingdra is notorious for its typing, nullifying the Grass and Electric | | weaknesses of Water, and the Ice of Dragon, leaving only Dragon as its | | weakness. It mainly uses Hydro Pump and Dragon Pulse, both extremely | | powerful due to the STAB bonus, although you can pray it uses Hyper Beam. | | Plus, its Sniper ability makes critical hits do triple, not double, the | | usual damage. That generally means that, in a perfect situation, it may | | do up to 18x the normal damage if Hydro Pump critically hits a Rock/Ground| | type. *shudders* | | | | Recommendations: Ampharos at Lv. 40+ for Gyarados; something with the Ice | | Fang move or some Ice-type move at Lv. 40+.

Use the eastern beams and go south and descend this ladder. <= 4F => Go up to the northwest part of the room and ascend the ladder once more. <= 5F => Take the bridges to the northeast, but, this time, go on the south bridge about a half-dozen steps after the first two. Go left and hop over another bridge, then go down on the next one. Go due south rather than going down the split, then go down the east path when given the chance after the next two hops. Keep going down to find a ladder. Ascend. <= 6F => Go straight up and grab that Max Potion. Go across the log bridge on the right. Go up to the top and take the upper log bridge across and grab the Full Heal. Take the bridge to the southwest down and next one down, as well. Ascend the ladder you should come across. <= 7F => Teleporters? In a rickety old tower? >_< Go up and take the bridges to the right of the teleport and grab the Max Revive. Take the bridges below and take ones to the left after that to return to the first platform. Go into the teleport at the top. You'll be taken to the center beam.

Take the teleporter here. Take the upper bridge to the left for a Nugget. Take the right one back and go into the teleporter once more. Take the upper-left bridge across. Follow them across to anotehr teleporter. You should end up near the center beam of some floor. Grab the Max Elixir and teleport back. Take the beams right onto the starting platform, then go up to the top and return to 7F. Take the teleporter on the opposite side of the beam. Take the bridges to the right, down, and go left for another teleporter. Go down some more. Surprise! Another teleporter. @_@ Get the HP Up to the left, then take the teleporter on the end of the platform. Go up across the log bridge. Ignore the top-left teleporter and take the bridge across to grab a Full Restore. Take the teleporter you just skipped. You'll be on a center platform with a beam. Go up the ladder. <= 10F => Take the plank bridge across and ascend the ladder. <= The Top => Go forward and the kimono girls will speak with you. They will then perform a ritualistic dance that will summon Ho-oh here, thanks to the Clear Bell. A swirl of autumn leaves appears and the sound resonates with the bells on the sides of the tower, causing the tower to become beacon-like. Ho-oh will react to this, and fly in from the sky, giving a single cry before the music ceases. Save. Go up to Ho-oh. _________________________________ | Special Encounter: #250 Ho-oh \ |__________________________________\_________________________________________ | Level: 45 | | Type : Fire/Flying | | Moves: - Extrasensory | | - Fire Blast | | - Sunny Day | | - Sacred Fire | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ho-oh, the first legendary Pokémon to appear in the anime, on episode #1, | | I believe. It has weaknesses to Rock (4x), Water, and Electric, with an | | immunity to Ground. | | | | There are several ways to go about this, a few of which help you save the | | Master Ball for another day, one which goes against this, and one that | | will have you KO it. (It will revive itself later on, with new IVs and a | | new nature.) | | | | #1 - Use False Swipe on Ho-oh until you can no more. Then, hopefully, you | | will paralyze it or put it to Sleep (not needed, though). Then use Ultra | | Balls or, at night (8:00 PM to 4:00 AM), use Dusk Balls (which are double | | the ability of Ultra Balls). | | | | #2 - From the get-go, use four moves on Ho-oh. In other words, go for | | four turns maximum, and get Ho-oh's HP in the red. This method is like | | that for those lacking Dusk Balls and/or False Swipe. Status it if at all | | possible on the fourth turn. Use a Quick Ball on the fifth. If you can't | | do so, use an Ultra Ball, or, at night, a Dusk Ball. | | | | #3 - The Master Ball, although I'd prefer it for some other one. | | | | #4 - To KO it, use a relatively decent Rock move on it (ie. Rock Slide). | | | | Recommendations: Whatever can use False Swipe at Lv. 40+ (#1); something | | that can't OHKO, but almost can (#2); Graveler/Golem at Lv. 35+ (#4). | |____________________________________________________________________________| And thusly, you have caught the great fiery legendary of the Johto region. The kimono girls will leave once you exit and re-enter. That'll be it for the Bell Tower. You may skip to the section after the SS walkthrough.

(It will revive itself later on, with new IVs and a | | new nature.) | | | | #1 - Use False Swipe on Lugia until you can no more. Then, hopefully, you | | will paralyze it or put it to Sleep (not needed, though). Then just use | | Ultra or Dusk Balls, preferably the latter, because of the 4x catch rate | | (vs. normal Poké Ball) in a cave. | | | | #2 - From the get-go, use four moves on Lugia. In other words, go for | | four turns maximum, and get Lugia's HP in the red. This method is like | | that for those lacking Dusk Balls and/or False Swipe.

If you can't | | do so, use an Ultra Ball or a Dusk Ball, preferably the latter. | | | | #3 - The Master Ball, although I'd prefer it for some other one. | | | | #4 - Lugia is more defensive than Ho-oh, because it lacks a quadruple | | damage weakness. It can use Extrasensory, which stops you from using | | Poison and Fighting; Hydro Pump gets rid of Fire, Rock, and Ground; and | | Aeroblast (a POWERFUL Flying move) stops you from using Grass, Bug, and | | Fighting (none of which are useful). Luckily, if a Pokémon is solely of | | one of the types it is weak to, you'll evade super-effective damage. | | | | Recommendations: Whatever can use False Swipe at Lv. 42+ (#1); something | | that can't OHKO, but almost can (#2); Haunter, Gengar, Ampharos, | | Graveler, or Golem at Lv. 46+ (#4). | |____________________________________________________________________________| Once you have caught Lugia, there isn't much else to do in the Whirl Islands.

To start with, head up and push the Strength boulder up once, and continue left and down the stairs. Go up and and grab the Potion, then go up and the stairs to the left. Use the Dowsing MCHN near the left part of the high up platform to find a Full Heal. Then go across. Go to the left and take the stairs to go down, then go through the rocks on the right, picking up the Full Heal as you go. Go back to the left and use the Dowsing MCHN near the wall to find a Max Potion, then continue in a northward direction until you find two boulders to the east and stairs to the north. Go right and push the bottom boulder forward, and then weave around to get a Max Revive. Follow the path back out of the rock maze. Ascend the stairs and ascend the ladder you'll find. <= 2F => Once you arrive, go down from where you entered, then go up the first stairway on the right. Go down the path to the west, then follow it to a sharp rock. Examine said rock and you'll find a Max Revive. Then go back and up the second stairway. Go up the ones to the right afterwards, then follow the path around for a while, then go up the ladder. <= 3F => Check one of the rocks in the northeastern corner of the room to find a Hyper Potion. Drop down the hole in the center part of the room when done. <= 2F => Go north and west some until you reach the Strength boulder. Push said boulder one tile forward. Go down the now-exposed steps and up the other side to find a Full Restore. Push the boulder one space either way - preferably to the right - and go up the upper stairs on ascend the ladder at the top. <= 3F => Here, go around the rocks, avoiding the hole as you do. Ascend to the upper part of the area and grab the Ultra Ball. Also Rock Smash to the top-left rock and use the Dowsing MCHN for a Zinc. Go down and left now, then do it again to fall into the bottom hole. <= 2F => Ascend the ladder here. <= 3F => You'll now be on the lower ground. Follow this path around north and east until you find three Rock Smash-able rocks. Break them all and collect the item, TM79 (Dark Pulse). Go back west and take the path northward this time. Avoid the hole and then weave through the rocks, picking up the Rare Candy to the right as you go; it is in the southwest corner of the two large rocks the northeast. Fall down the hole, now. <= 2F => Go west and down the stairway. Pick up TM26, Earthquake, here. Go back up the stairs and ascend the nearby ladder. <= 3F => Follow the path to the southeast and jump over the ledge. Go down and right to the Rock Smash-able rocks. Break them if desired, then head north. Heal up and save if need, then go east and north some more. Your rival should then appear. RIVAL FIGHT! _____________________________________ | BOSS: PKMN Trainer [rival's name] \ |______________________________________\_____________________________________ | Pokémon: Sneasel (Dark/Ice) Lv. 36 | | Golbat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 38 | | Haunter (Ghost/Poison) Lv. 37 | | Magneton (Electric/Steel) Lv. 37 | | Kadabra (Psychic) Lv. 37 | | Feraligatr [if you chose Cyndaquil] (Water) Lv. 40 <--, | | Meganium [if you chose Totodile] (Grass) Lv. 40 <--+ Only 1. | | Typhlosion [if you chose Chikorita] (Fire) Lv. 40 <--' | | | | Money Earned: $2,560 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Sneasel is weak to Fighting (4x), Bug, Fire, Rock, and Steel. It is also | | immune to Psychic. | | | | Golbat, as usual, is weak to Psychic, Electric, Ice, and Rock. It has an | | immunity to Ground. It will probably use Supersonic, so finish it fast. | | | | Magneton is weak against Ground (4x), Fire, and Fighting. It will mainly | | use Spark, an Electric move. I believe it also can use Thunder Wave. I | | don't know for sure, though. | | | | Haunter is weak to Dark, Ghost, and Psychic moves, with an immunity to | | Ground, Normal, and Fighting. It's main move is Shadow Ball, so avoid | | using Psychic and Ghost types. | | | | Kadabra is weak to Dark, Ghost, and Bug. It has powerful Psychic moves, | | so avoid using Fighting or Psychic Pokémon. | | | | Feraligatr is weak to Electric and Grass. | | | | Meganium is weak to Ice, Fire, Bug, Poison, and Flying. | | | | Typhlosion is weak to Ground, Rock, and Water. | | | | Recommendations: Graveler/Golem at Lv. 44+; Vulpix, Growlithe, Ninetales, | | or Arcanine at Lv. 45+; Haunter/Gengar at Lv. 45+. Those cover most of | | the weaknesses, but bring your starter at Lv. 47+ and your legendary at | | Lv. 46+ for back-up. Things probably screwed up in the past, after all. | |____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, your rival will leave the scene, leaving us permitted to go forward and exit Victory Road through the north exit, which leads to none other than the Indigo Plateau. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Indigo Plateau ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Once you arrive, go up some and examine the second statue on the left to find a Rare Candy. That's all here; go forward to the main building of the Indigo Plateau. Here, you'll find a combo of a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart, probably the inspiration for the combo of both (and the GTS) in a Pokémon Center in the Black/White games. Now, for a decent challenge at the Elite Four, you are going to need to spend a good deal of cash on good healing items. Sell all the worse than Hyper Potions you have, then buy about 25 ~ 35 of them. Go next for the Full Restores and get about 15 ~ 20 of them. As for Revives, get 15 or so; Full Heals, 20 should do. Next, get your party ready. Here's my typical first-time approach. (I would usually have two HM slaves in my party, but I raised the two in their place on the side.) ~ Starter: Lv. 47+ ~ Ho-oh/Lugia: Lv. 46+ ~ Kadabra/Alakazam: Lv. 45+ ~ Haunter/Gengar: Lv. 45+ ~ Graveler/Golem: Lv. 45+ ~ Something with a Dragon or Ice move (I use Dragonite): Lv. 47+ Heal up at the nurse's desk, and go to the top of the room. At the very top, speak with the guy there and he'll move. Save and when you're ready, enter the realm of the Elite Four. In the first room, you'll find it to be a bright purplish hue, with cubes hovering around. The Elite Four in here, Will, is a Psychic-type Trainer. Speak with him to begin! _________________________ | BOSS: Elite Four Will \ |__________________________\_________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Xatu (Psychic/Flying) Lv. 40 | | Slowbro (Psychic/Water) Lv. 41 | | Jynx (Psychic/Ice) Lv. 41 | | Exeggutor (Psychic/Grass) Lv. 41 | | Xatu (Psychic/Flying) Lv. 42 | | | | Money Earned: $5,040 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Xatu is like Lugia, with weaknesses to Ice, Rock, Electric, Dark, and | | Ghost moves and immunity to Ground. The opening Lv. 41 one has U-turn, | | which deals Bug damage and switches the user with another; Me First, | | which will make the Xatu (if it's faster) use the move you'd use; Psychic,| | which is a powerful Psychic move; and Confuse Ray, which is obvious. | | | | Slowbro is weak to Grass, Electric, Dark, Ghost, and Bug. It can use | | Water Pulse (Water damage; possible confusion) and Psychic to deal some | | damage. The other two moves, Curse and Amnesia, just deal with the user's | | stats -- lower Speed, higher Attack and Defense for Curse; higher Sp. | | Defense with Amnesia. The Curse is worthless, though -- the attacks that | | deal damage are only using Special Attack, so consider it a freebie. | | | | Jynx is weak to Fire, Rock, Steel, Dark, Ghost, and Bug. It also can use | | Psychic and Ice Punch, which are its deadliest moves with the STAB bonus | | (and the Freeze chance on the latter). It can also use Doubleslap, which | | is rather weak, and Lovely Kiss, which causes Sleep. | | | | Exeggutor is weak to Fire, Ice, Flying, Poison, Bug (4x), Dark, and | | Ghost, like Celebi. It can use Psychic (it's most powerful here) and a | | rather weak Egg Bomb. It also can use Hypnosis to put you to Sleep and | | Reflect to halve Physical damage. So, it'll be Special attacks, like | | Flamethrower or Shadow Ball, that do best. | | | | The second Xatu - the Lv. 42 one - has the same weaknesses of Rock, Ice, | | Electric, Dark, and Ghost and the Ground immunity. It can use Psychic, | | Aerial Ace (a Flying no-miss move), Ominous Wind (a Ghost move of 60 | | Power that can raise all stats), and Confuse Ray. You'll want to use a | | Rock/Ice/Electric type to defeat it. | | | | Recommendations: A powerful and varied Haunter/Gengar at Lv. 46+ can | | finish it in a solo. However, Graveler/Golem and your legendary, each at | | Lv. 46+, are great for back-up. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Once the battle is over with, the door will open. Go through into the next room, healing as you need to. This second room is the residence of Koga, the Poison-type trainer of the Elite Four. The room is designed like a shadowy dark forest -- guess what I thought he trained my first time? (Grass or Dark.) Anyhow, speak with him to start. _________________________ | BOSS: Elite Four Koga \ |__________________________\_________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Araidos (Poison/Bug) Lv. 40 | | Forretress (Bug/Steel) Lv. 43 | | Muk (Poison) Lv. 42 | | Venomoth (Poison/Bug) Lv. 41 | | Crobat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 44 | | | | Money Earned: $5,280 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Araidos is weak to Psychic, Fire, Flying, and Rock moves. It has Giga | | Drain, a pitifully weak Grass move for it; Poison Jab, a decent Poison | | move that may poison; Spider Web, which stops switching; Baton Pass, to | | switch to another Pokémon. | | | | Forretress is weak to and ONLY weak to Fire, though it quadruple damage. | | It's Steel-typing also immunizes it from the type/status of Poison. It | | can use Spikes (damage upon switching. More use - more damage); Toxic | | Spikes (poisoning on switch); Protect; and Explosion (suicide, but good | | damage). This is best dealt with via Ho-oh, to avoid the spikes and due | | to the Fire thing. | | | | Muk is weak to Psychic and Ground. It is holding Black Sludge, which is | | going to heal it by about 6.25% each turn - and it can't be taken off. It | | can use Gunk Shot (Poison move), Minimize (ups evasion), Screech (severe | | lowering of your Defense), and Toxic (increasing damage version of | | poison). It is strongly recommended to finish it off fast, because the | | status and stat reductions will finish you off faster. | | | | Venomoth is weak to Flying, Psychic, Rock, and Fire. It can use Gust (a | | Flying move), Psychic, Supersonic, and Toxic. A Steel-type will be able | | to avoid the Toxic, but that's it. Additionally, its ability will change | | all 1/2 resistances to no resistance, and 1/4 resistance to 1/2. | | | | Crobat is weak to Psychic, Rock, Ice, and Electric; and is immune to | | Ground. It can use Wing Attack and Poison Fang - decent STAB moves, and | | the latter poisons. The former is Flying. It also has Quick Attack and | | Double Team to raise evasion. One last thing: it takes 1/4 the normal | | damage from Fighting, Grass, and Bug. | | | | Recommendations: Generally, a decent Kadabra/Alakazam at Lv. 47+ can solo | | it. However, Ho-oh/Lugia and Growlithe/Arcanine/Vulpix/Ninetales are good | | back-ups if at Lv. 47+, too. Your Typholsion could obviously take the | | place of the Growlithe/etc. | |____________________________________________________________________________| After the battle, go through the now-opened door. Here, you'll find a lava field where you'll find Bruno, the Fighting-type trainer of the Elite Four. (I first thought Fire - you know, the lava.) So, this should be a harder version of the Cianwood Gym. Speak with Bruno to start. __________________________ | BOSS: Elite Four Bruno \ |___________________________\________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Hitmontop (Fighting) Lv. 42 | | Hitmonlee (Fighting) Lv. 42 | | Hitmonchan (Fighting) Lv. 42 | | Onix (Rock/Ground) Lv. 43 | | Machamp (Fighting) Lv. 46 | | | | Money Earned: $5,520 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Hitmontop is weak to Psychic and Flying. It can use Dig (Ground; one-turn | | wait); Triple Kick (Fighting, three-hit); Quick Attack; and Counter | | (returning of physical damage). It also has the Technician ability, which | | increases the power of below-60-Power attacks by 50%. | | | | Hitmonlee has Blaze Kick (Fire move); Hi Jump Kick (Fighting move; user | | is damaged with a miss); Focus Energy (upped critical rate); and Swagger | | (ups your Attack and confuses). You'll really want to finish it quick if | | your Pokémon is weak to Fighting - the Hi Jump Kick has an overall 180 | | Power before super/not very effectiveness is added. OH! I forgot to say | | it is also weak to Psychic and Flying. | | | | Hitmonchan is also weak to Psychic and Flying. It can use the "elemental | | punches": Ice, Fire, and Thunderpunch (with obvious types) and Bullet | | Punch, which is about half the above punches' power. It also gets a 20% | | punch-Power boost (ie. all its moves) due to its Iron Fist ability. It'll | | be best to use a Psychic type here, rather than a Flying type. | | | | Onix is weak to Water (4x), Grass (4x), Fighting, Ice, and Steel. It can | | use Earthquake (powerful Ground move), Dragonbreath (Dragon move), Rock | | Slide (Rock move), and Sandstorm. It'll be best to use a powerful Water | | or Grass move if your Pokémon have one. If anything, don't use Flying. | | | | Machamp is weak to Psychic and Flying (duh). It can use Rock Slide (Rock | | move), Cross Chop (Fighting move that can go through Protect/Detect at | | times), Revenge (another powerful Fighting move), and Foresight (make a | | Ghost type hittable with Fighting). All moves will be 100% accurate in | | this battle, because of Machamp's ability of No Guard. It is preferable | | to use Psychic over Flying here. | | | | Recommendations: Again, Kadabra/Alakazam at Lv. 47+ can solo it. However, | | the legendaries (particularly Lugia) and your starter at Lv. 48+ are good | | for back-up. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Once you're done here, heal if needed and go to the next unlocked room. Here, you'll find a large set of purplish curtains and a starry floor. This place is where you'll find Karen, the one who uses Dark types (altough it is only 60% of her team with the typing). Speak with her to start the battle. __________________________ | BOSS: Elite Four Karen \ |___________________________\________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Umbreon (Dark) Lv. 42 | | Murkrow (Dark/Flying) Lv. 44 | | Vileplume (Grass/Poison) Lv. 42 | | Gengar (Ghost/Poison) Lv. 45 | | Houndoom (Dark/Fire) Lv. 47 | | | | Money Earned: $5,640 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Umbreon is weak to Fighting and Bug. It can use Faint Attack and Payback, | | both Dark moves. The latter is immensely powerful it goes last. It can | | also use Double Team and Confuse Ray. Oh, and it's immune to Psychic. | | | | Murkrow is weak to Rock, Electric, and Ice, with Ground and Psychic | | immunization. It can use a Dark-type Sucker Punch and Faint Attack; Pluck | | to steal your item and do Flying damage; and Whirlwind to switch your | | Pokémon. Electric and Rock are overall preferable here. | | | | Vileplume is weak to Flying, Ice, Fire, and Psychic. It can use the move | | Petal Dance (135 Power Grass move, 2-3 turns); Acid (weak Poison move); | | Stun Spore (paralyzes); Moonlight (heals the user). Get rid of it before | | it can paralyze you. Fire and Flying (especially the combo (Ho-oh)) is | | immensely preferable. | | | | Gengar is weak to Psychic, Dark, and Ghost, with Ground, Normal, and | | Fighting immunities. It can use Lick (a WEAK Ghost move); Focus Blast (a | | 150 Power Normal move; rest on second turn); and Spite (remove all of the | | PP of the last-used move). It also will use Destiny Bond - if you move | | last and KO it on the turn this is used, you will also be KO'ed, so be | | ready with the Revive. | | | | Houndoom is weak to Fighting, Rock, Ground, and Water and is immune to | | Psychic. It can use Dark Pulse and Crunch (decently-powerful Dark moves), | | Flamethrower (a powerful Fire move due to the STAB), and Nasty Plot (to | | raise the Special Attack). In general, it would be best to use a Water | | type. | | | | Recommendations: Your starter at Lv. 47+ for Umbreon; Graveler/Golem at | | Lv. 47+ for Murkrow and Houndoom; and Haunter/Gengar for the rest. A | | Kadabra/Alakazam and the legendary of your game would make good back-up. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Once you're done, fully heal your Pokémon as much as possible, then continue through the door. Go forward in the next room to eventually be pulled into auto-pilot and to Lance, the Pokémon League's champion!! ________________________ | BOSS: Champion Lance \ |_________________________\__________________________________________________ | Pokémon: Gyarados (Water/Flying) Lv. 46 | | Charizard (Fire/Flying) Lv. 48 | | Aerodactyl (Rock/Flying) Lv. 48 | | Dragonite (Dragon/Flying) Lv. 49 | | Dragonite (Dragon/Flying) Lv. 49 | | Dragonite (Dragon/Flying) Lv. 50 | | | | Money Earned: $10,000 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gyarados is weak to Electric (4x) and Rock, with a Ground immunity. This | | Pokémon has a high Attack stat and abuses it with Waterfall (Water) and | | Ice Fang (Ice) moves, so you shouldn't use the legendary here. It can | | also use Dragon Pulse (Dragon), and Flail (Normal; strengths as user | | weakens). Be prepped to use Full Heals - Ice Fang can freeze you. If you | | can't use a Electric/Rock move, use Kadabra/Alakazam. Your starter might | | manage, but that's last-ditch. | | | | Charizard is weak to Rock (4x), Water, and Electric, with a Ground | | immunity. It has a wide type-coverage of moves: Air Slash (Flying), Fire | | Fang (Fire), Shadow Claw (Ghost), and Dragon Claw (Dragon). Amazingly, | | though, these moves don't cover the types Charizard is weak to. Yeesh. | | Just remember that Fire Fang may burn. Graveler/Golem is unquestionably | | the best here, although Ho-oh (not Lugia - Shadow Claw) is a decent | | alternate. | | | | Aerodactyl is weak to Water, Electric, Ice, and Rock. It's immune to | | Ground. It also has a wide type-coverage: Thunder Fang (Electric), Rock | | Slide (Rock), Aerial Ace (Flying), and Crunch (Dark). Water and Ice are | | weak to Thunder Fang and Rock Slide, respectively. So, it's preferred you | | use Graveler/Golem. | | | | All three of the Dragonite are weak to Ice (4x), Dragon, and Rock. This | | paragraph covers the Lv. 49 ones. They both carry Thunder Wave (to make | | you paralyzed), Dragon Rush (Dragon; strong), and Hyper Beam. One of them | | will have Blizzard, and the other has Thunder. Luckily, neither of those | | can hurt an Ice, Dragon, or Rock type super-effectively. (Although | | Dragon Rush will really hurt a Dragon type.) It is strongly recommended | | to use Graveler/Golem on both of them, if you lack an Ice move. | | | | Now, for the Lv. 50 Dragonite. It has Outrage, a Dragon move with 180 | | overall Power, which will hurt for those 2-3 turns. It will confuse at | | the end of those turns. It can also use Fire Blast (120-Power Fire move), | | Hyper Beam (150-Power Normal move; rest on second turn), and Sageguard. | | The idea for this one is actually probably to use your starter, your | | legendary, or SOMETHING NOT WEAK TO FIRE OR DRAGON that knows a decent | | Ice move. If not that, use Graveler/Golem. | | | | Recommendations: Graveler/Golem at Lv. 48+, which may be able to solo it. | | However, as back-up, use your starter (Lv. 49+), your legendary (Lv. 49+),| | and Kadabra/Alakazam at Lv. 48+. Always be ready to use your Hyper Potion | | and Full Restore stock at any moment - this battle takes a toll on your | | HP. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Once you manage to beat Lance, Professor Oak and DJ Mary will come to congratulate you, with the latter trying to, in vain, make a report. Lance will lead you away above to the champion's room. After some scenes, you and your Pokémon will be registered into the Hall of Fame. Press A after all of your Pokémon appear together and the credits will roll. So, yes, congratulations: you have become the Johto champion!

There are two battles here - one single, one double. Exit the room when done and go to the bottom-right door to battle the Hiker. Leave this cabin and go to the "block" of four cabins on the right. Battle the Firebreather in the top-right cabin, then head to the bottom-right cabin. This one is yours, with a PC and bed (to heal your party). Leave and go to the midpoint of the corridor, then down the stairs. Go down and left to the green tiled room to battle a (seasick) Juggler in the top-left, then go out and to the right to find a Sailor. Battle the sailor in the right room with the gray floor afterwards, then go back up the stairs. Go to the bottom-left room of the right set of cabins and speak with the Sailor there. Defeat him and return to the lower floor. Go to the bottom-right and you can now pass. Go to the northern side of the engine and defeat the Picnicker there, then go up the ladder. Enter the room here and speak with the girl next to the captain at the top. She wants to play hide-and-seek, and she'll leave. This is the girl that the gentleman at the start was looking for. Return to the engine room and check the bottom-left corner of the whole floor to find her. Talk to her to send her, and you, back to her father's room. There, you'll be given a Metal Coat.

Anyhow, head left and into the port house. Speak with the Sailor and go north to exit. Continue along the path you'll find Suicune. It'll hop away as Eusine arrives. (How the hell he get here?) He'll go ecstatic for a moment and leave. Go down the stairs at the top and go left. Go around to where you can Surf on the water south of one of the house, and Surf onto the beach to find a Luck Incense. Return to the mainland and heal up in the Pokémon Center in the northwest. You will need to have something with Cut in a moment. For now, you can visit the building just above the Gym, the Pokémon Fan Club. Speak with the president behind the counter in the top-right to get a Rare Candy.

It can use Water Pulse and Earthquake (Ground move) for offense | | and Amnesia to up its Special Defense. It also has Rain Dance, which | | makes it rain (Fire weakens; Water strengthens; Thunder is 100% accurate).| | It can absorb Water moves for HP restoration, too. It'll be best to use a | | Grass Pokémon, because of the quadruple damage and it resists the | | offensive moves. | | | | Lapras is weak to Electric, Grass, Rock, and Fighting. It can use Body | | Slam (Normal; possible paralysis), Ice Beam (Ice move), Sing (55% chance | | of causing Sleep), and Water Pulse. The faster you deal with this, the | | better - you'll probably get statused by some move. | | | | Starmie is weak to Bug, Ghost, Dark, Grass, and Electric. It can use | | Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Recover (for HP), and Confuse Ray. Generally, it | | is preferable to not use Grass Pokémon due to the Ice Beam. | | | | Recommendations: Your Grass starter/strongest Grass type/Ampharos at | | Lv. 50+ might do it.

After this, you can use Heavy Balls or Dusk Balls (at | | night) for better catch rates than the Ultra Ball. You may fail at the | | catch a few times; if so, be sure to False Swipe it every four turns or | | so. | |____________________________________________________________________________| Now that Snorlax is out of the way (and hopefully in your Pokédex), we can now into Diglett's Cave. ... But not just yet. We WILL have to go there eventually, but, for now, Fly back to Saffron and exit to the west. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Route 7 ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | Rattata | HG | 40% | 35% | 30% | Grass | | Rattata | SS | 5% | 0% | 0% | Grass | | Spearow | Both | 30% | 30% | 0% | Grass | | Growlithe | HG | 20% | 25% | 20% | Grass | | Vulpix | SS | 20% | 25% | 20% | Grass | | Raticate | Both | 10% | 10% | 10% | Grass | | Murkrow | HG | 0% | 0% | 35% | Grass | | Murkrow | SS | 0% | 0% | 30% | Grass | | Houndour | Both | 0% | 0% | 5% | Grass | | Meowth | Both | 30% | 30% | 30% | Grass | | Persian | Both | 5% | 5% | 5% | Grass | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: No Trainers are found in this location. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Aside from the Mental Herb at the top part of the Route, there is little else here.

However, the GTS and Radio Tower aren't here. It has a Game Corner, a Dept. Store, and a Gym, though. Go into the Pokémon Center and heal, then we can go exploring a little. To start, go behind the Pokémon Center and all of the way west to find TM67, Recycle. Return to the front bit of Celadon and go to the bottommost row of buildings. The one on the left is the Celadon Diner where you'll find Maylene, the kid Fighting-type Gym Leader from the Sinnoh region (the D/P/Pt games). She can eat, huh!? You can talk to her, but that's it. No battles... Leave and go to the far east and south into a thin row of trees. At the end, hidden, is a PP Up. Go up to the second row of buildings, one of which is the Game Corner and another is the prize house. Now, head to the northwest corner of Celadon to find the Dept. Store. The first floor is the same as usual. On the second floor, though it has the same items as Goldenrod, you'll find Crasher Wake, the Water-type Gym Leader from Sinnoh! Speak with him and you'll get three masks for the Fashion Case (the masks are of the Sinnoh starters: Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup). He'll leave now and go to Route 47 in Johto. Like with Maylene, he'll only talk. >_< The third floor of the Dept. Store has an entirely different TM selection. Frustration and Return are good for Pokémon that hate/like you, respectively, with the power going up the more intense that feeling is. Dig, Brine, Dark Pulse, and Avalanche are also some TMs to consider. (I guess Crasher Wake was here for some Brine TMs?) The fourth floor has some mail; the fifth has the X items and EV vitamins; 6F has the vending machines. That's pretty much it. Get a Pokémon with Cut and head to the southern portion of the city and Cut down the tree near the Gym. Follow the path around to it. (That old man has been peeking in for three years? I thought I had no life. :P) Go on in. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Celadon Gym ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ___________________________________________________________________________ | Pokémon | Vers. | Morn. | Day | Night | Encounter Method | |----------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+--------------------| | No wild Pokémon are found here. | |===========================================================================| | Trainers' Pokémon: Victreebel Lv. 47, Vileplume Lv. 47 | | Skiploom Lv. 44, Hoppip Lv. 45, Jumpluff Lv. 46 | | Exeggutor Lv. 49 | | Paras Lv. 44, Parasect Lv. 47, Carnivine Lv. 44 | |___________________________________________________________________________| Celadon's Gym trains the Grass type and has a puzzle designed for such: a flowery archway maze. Go forward and Cut down the tree directly above you, then go left. Notice how the flowers aren't covering the left side of the arch? That means you can go on through. Now, head up to slam into a double battle. Go one arch back and exit through the right. Go up, right, down, and through this arch. Go up an arch and exit on the right to battle another trainer. Then go left to re-enter the arch, go up to find a Picnicker. Defeat her Exeggutor and go up, left, down some, then left to battle the Beauty. Defeat her (and steal her handbag :D), then go down an arch, left, down, left into another arch, up one more, left and out, and go up.

It is | | immune to Ground. It'll usually use Giga Drain and Leech Seed to suck | | your HP, but it can use Sunny Day to make it sunny (her Pokémon speed up, | | Fire strengthens, Water weakens, Solarbeam has no charge-up) and U-turn, | | a Bug-type move. | | | | Tangela is weak to Poison, Ice, Fire, Flying, and Bug. It can use Giga | | Drain (Grass; take some HP), Wring Out (more power with healthier target),| | Ancientpower (Rock; may increase all stats), and Sleep Powder. Thusly, I | | would prefer to stick to Poison here - Rock can knock out the rest. | | | | Victreebel can use Grass Knot (Grass; heavy target = more damage), Leaf | | Storm (Grass; reduces user's Special Attack), Razor Leaf (Grass; high | | critical-hit rate), and Sunny Day. It is weak to Ice, Fire, Flying, and | | Psychic. Fire and Flying would survive longest here, especially Ho-oh. | | | | Bellossom is weak to Ice, Flying, Poison, Bug, and Fire. It can use | | Solarbeam (Grass; one-turn wait (non-sunny)), Giga Drain, Sunny Day, and | | Synthesis (heal HP). It'll really be a good idea to finish it fast: even | | if you resist Grass, a Sunny Solarbeam (ie. no one-turn wait) can deal a | | good deal of damage. | | | | Recommendations: Your legendary, especially Ho-oh, can almost solo this | | at Lv. 55+.

For the most part, any Pokémon with decent Sp. Def | | and regular Attack will work. | | | | Kabuto is weak to Grass (4x), Fighting, Electric, and Ground. It can use | | Rock Slide and Aqua Jet, which are 50% more powerful (STAB bonus). It can | | also use the HP-absorbing move Giga Drain (Grass).

Grass is preferable. | | | | Onix is weak to Grass (4x), Water (4x), Steel, Fighting, and Ice (?), and | | has an Electric immunity.

Next, go to the top portion of the route and go east to find two Youngsters. Battle and defeat them, and continue going and defeat the Firebreather in the grass.

Cut the tree on the high platform west of the gatehouse exit. Follow the path the whole way around to find a Leaf Stone.

You can expand this by connecting to other people's Pokéwalkers - the party the person had during the last transfer TO the Pokéwalker will be their party.

Go up four spaces to find a yellow arrow in front of you. Go two steps right and straight up. Battle and defeat the Trainer. Then go down to end up at the beginning. Go to the right wall and up for the red arrow. Go straight down for a blue one, and then a battle. Then go straight up to return to the beginning. Go one step up and over to the far right. Go up again, then right one step and take the red arrow twice, the second being to the right. Then take another red one to the left and finish the double battle. That deals with all the Trainers. Go one step down and return to the start. The next paragraph will take over from there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Find Blue ~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the Pokémon replacement thing... Go one step up, then to the far right. Go up and get on the red arrow. Go left for another red arrow. Go one step right and up for another red arrow. Go right for ANOTEHR red arrow, then go right again to find Blue.

Because of | | the Waterfall, Electric is preferable to Rock. | | | | Rhydon is weak to Grass (4x), Water (4x), Fighting, Ice (?), and Steel. | | It is immune to Electric. It can use Earthquake (Ground), Stone Edge | | (Rock), Thunder Fang (Electric), and Megahorn (Bug?). Because of the | | moveset, it is preferable to avoid using ... well, all except Fighting. | | Unless your Grass/Water type is decently powerful and resilient. | | | | Machamp is weak to Flying and Psychic. It can use Stone Edge (Rock), | | DynamicPunch (Fighting), Thunderpunch (Electric), and Earthquake (Ground).| | It is preferable to use a Psychic type. | | | | Arcanine is weak to Water, Rock, and Ground. It can use Roar (make you | | switch Pokémon), Dragon Pulse (Dragon), Flare Blitz (Fire; has recoil), | | and Extremespeed (Normal). Of the three, Water is preferable due to its | | Fire resistance. | | | | Pidgeot is weak to Rock, Electric, and Ice. It has Ghost and Ground | | immunities. It can use Return (Normal), Air Slash (Flying), Mirror Move | | (your last-used move hits you), and Whirlwind (forced switch).

That is completely optional, unless you're just dying for Moltres. Anyhow, Rock Climb on the wall to the right. Check the rock in the top-left corner for a Dire Hit. Exit to the right. <= Mountainside => Grab the Escape Rope below. Go up the steps and follow the path around. When you're able to branch on the top part, go down to grab the item (TM76 (Stealth Rock)). Go up to the top, then down the steps, and back inside. <= 1F => Go around to grab the Full Restore. Re-exit. <= Mountainside => Go down the stairs nearby and straight down. Go down this pair of stairs, then down again and up the next ones you come across. Re-enter. <= 1F => Follow the path to the left, ignoring the staircase and heading to the right. Check the sharp rock nearby for a Revive and go back to and ascend the stairs. Go through the hole in the wall. <= 2F => Go up the steps in the northwest area and follow the path around. Go left when you come to the steps. Grab the Max Elixir and go up the steps. Follow this path the whole way around, going right at the next staircase to find a Max Revive. Return to and ascend the stairs, then go left. Follow the path and Rock Smash the rocks in the way. Use the Dowsing MCHN to find a Max Potion. Continue down the path and grab the Calcium. Return to the steps, go right, and exit. <= Peaks/Snowy Area => Snow!~ Go around and into the first cave you find. <= 2F => Go straight up and Rock Smash the rock. Use the Doswing MCHN to find an Iron. Then go south for a Protein, then leave the cave. <= Peaks/Snowy Area => Go down and enter the cave once more. <= 2F => Go south and exit. <= Peaks/Snowy Area => Go south and west, ignoring the cave entrance. Instead, go up the Rock Climb path on the left. Go left and Rock Climb once again. Take the right path and pick up the Pure Incense at its end. Go back to the left and -- you guessed it -- use Rock Climb. Check the rock on the right to find a Rare Candy. Go back down all of the Rock Climb pathways and go through the ignored entrance. <= 2F => Go due west and outside again. <= Peaks/Snowy Area => Go up the Rock Climb thing to the right, then do it again on the wall in front of you. Climb up again and check the top-right tile between the two trees to get a Hyper Potion. Go down two of the walls and take the Rock Climb path to the left - the second one on the far left. Rock Climb up again here and grab the Dawn Stone. Go back down twice and take the wall to the right. Rock Climb up again and enter. <= 3F => Go to the left and Rock Climb up. Go east and examine the rock to find a hidden Max Revive. Return west and leave the cave. <= Summit => There is nothing here, save the final challenge on our journey. Go the bag and fully restore the HP of your six Pokémon. Head up to the top of the silent and snow-covered peak to find none other than Red, the only other trainer to have single-handedly taken down Team Rocket three years ago. This will be the toughest battle you will probably ever face -- speak with Red and enjoy his silence to begin. ________________________________ | FINAL BOSS: PKMN Trainer Red \ |_________________________________\__________________________________________ | Pokémon: Pikachu (Electric) Lv. 88 | | Charizard (Fire/Flying) Lv. 84 | | Venusaur (Grass/Poison) Lv. 84 | | Blastoise (Water) Lv. 84 | | Lapras (Water/Ice) Lv. 80 | | Snorlax (Normal) Lv. 82 | | | | Money Earned: $16,800 | |============================================================================| | Pikachu is weak to Ground only. It has the Static ability - using a | | Physical move may cause Paralysis. It is also holding the Light Ball, | | which greatly increases its offensive stats. It can use Volt Tackle (an | | Electric move; 120-Power; recoils), Thunderbolt (Electric; potential | | Paralysis), Iron Tail (Steel), and Quick Attack. Luckily, using a Ground | | type will immunize you from Pikachu's two Electric moves, which are | | exceptionally powerful at this point and will virtually guarantee a OHKO | | on a Gyarados. | | | | Charizard is weak to Rock (4x), Water, and Electric, with a Ground | | immunity. It can use Air Slash (Flying), Flare Blitz (Fire; recoils), | | Dragon Pulse (Dragon), and Blast Burn (Fire; one-turn recovery). The two | | Fire moves have 180 and 225 Power respectively, counting STAB. Generally, | | Water is a good type of Pokémon to use assuming you lack a Rock type. | | | | Venusaur is weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic. It can use Giga | | Drain (Grass; HP-abosrber), Frenzy Plant (POWERFUL Grass move), Sludge | | Bomb (Poison), and Sleep Powder (causes sleep). It is more than obvious | | that a Fire or Flying type will survive quite easily here, such as Ho-oh. | | | | Blastoise is weak to Electric and Grass. It can use Hydro Cannon (Water; | | one-turn recovery), Blizzard (Ice; 100% due to Hail; may freeze), Flash | | Cannon (Electric?), and Focus Blast (Fighting). Because of the Blizzard | | with its 100% accuracy, avoid using Grass types, at least until it uses | | Blizzard five times -- that's all the PP it has. | | | | Lapras is weak to Grass, Electric, and Fighting, I believe. It can use | | Blizzard (Ice; 100% accuracy due to Hail; may freeze), Brine (Water; gain | | strength if target has <50% HP), Psychic (Psychic), and Body Slam | | (Normal; may paralyze). Grass isn't the best to use, due to the 180-STAB'd| | power (360 with single-super-effectiveness). | | | | Snorlax is weak only to Fighting and is immune to Ghost. It can use | | Shadow Ball (Ghost), Crunch (Dark), Blizzard (Ice; 100% accurate due to | | hail; may freeze), and Giga Impact (overall 225-Power Normal move; one | | turn recovery). It also has the Thick Fat ability, thereby halving any | | Fire and Ice damage. Snorlax also has rather high Special Defense, so I'd | | use physical moves -- ie. Fighting. | | | | Recommendations: Graveler/Golem at Lv. 70+ for Pikachu and Charizard; | | your legendary, Fire starter, or Kadabra/Alakazam at Lv. 70+ for | | Venusaur; your Grass starter or Ampharos at Lv. 70+ for Blastoise and | | Lapras; Haunter/Gengar at Lv. 70+ for Snorlax (to avoid Giga Impact). If | | an empty slot or more remains, here are some suggestions: your starter at | | Lv. 70+ if not put in, Gyarados Lv. 70+, or some other legendary (Lv. | | 70+). | |____________________________________________________________________________| After defeating Red, he'll vanish into thin air and the credits will roll once more. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ CONGRATULATIONS!
