/ VERSION HISTORY /
/___________________________________________________________________________/
September 09, 2009: Beginning of Bare-bones Guide
September 10 - October 5, 2009: Writing the Johto Guide
October 13, 2009 - January 11, 2010: Writing the Kanto Guide
______________________________________________________________________________
February 15, 2010: Hello everyone! Now that we have the Kanto guide out of
the way, the guide is now up to version 3.00! We have made
several changes to the guide that should bring this guide
up to speed for the English release in March.
* Thanks to serebii.net, various names of the English

version have been revealed, including your other gender
rival's names, team rocket executives, various item
names, and a few locations that were not in the original
GSC. They have been changed in this version of the guide
to reflect the English version of the game.
The Poketholon has been changed to Pokeathlon, and the
Technique stat is now the Skill stat. The Pokedex section
has been edited to reflect these changes.
* Added the Kanto guide up to the Viridian Gym
* Pokeathlon stats and Move Tutor info up to the Sinnoh Dex
have been added
* Japanese/English changes added to the Changes FAQ
section.
If anything has been changed from what serebii says, or any
new info is revealed, I will add it to the guide. If you
see anything that references the Japanese version, then let
me know.
As far as the next update goes, I will try to get the
Updated Pokemon League, Cerulean Cave, and Mt. Silver and
the final battle in before or around the release of HGSS
in North America.
______________________________________________________________________________
March 09, 2010: Only several more days until HG/SS is released in the
United States! Here is a update to help finish up a bunch
of things.
* Added the Endgame Guide section. This covers the rematch
against the Elite Four, Mt. Silver, and the final battle
against the former Champion.
* Added the Battle Frontier guide from my Platinum guide,
and corrected it for HGSS.
* Added a variety of Legendary areas, including two of the
Legendary Birds, and Suicune.
Originally, this update was going to contain info on
Cerulean Cave/Mewtwo and Seafoam/Articuno, but I wanted to
get the info on the updated Elite Four and Mt. Silver
before the game comes out in the US. Hopefully, they should
be in Version 3.11, which I will try to get out before the
US version comes out.
As for updates, I am going to try to do at least one more
update before it is released. If there is any major things
revealed before the release, such as any English names and
the like, I will try to add it to the guide. It might take
me a few days to get through HGSS, so bear with me when it

comes to updates.
______________________________________________________________________________
March 12, 2010: Got several more updates today!
* Added Mewtwo/Cerulean Cave and Articuno/Seafoam Island
to the side-quest section.
* Re-did the Pokemon Encounter rates to include Pokemon
that are available via Rock Smash and Headbutting
Trees. Also removed any instances of surfing or national
dex Pokemon where there are none for that route or area.
* Added info to the Pokedex section on Pokemon that can
only be found in the special Safari Zone settings or
via the Pokewalker.
By the time this update should be out, Pokemon HGSS should
be available in the United States. I will try to answer
any questions that come along, and fix any errors as soon
as I can.
There should be a lot more content in the following updates
(Phone info, Gym Leader rematches, Pokeathlon and Pokewalker
info, etc), so stay tuned!
______________________________________________________________________________
March 14, 2010: Hello English players! If you are reading this, you
probably picked up HGSS from your local store. This update

is mostly a few corrections from the Japanese version.
* Changed the info on the old man in the beginning of
Cherrygrove
* Renamed all instances of Tin Tower to Bell Tower.
* Changed the rival's first encounter from ??? to Passerby
Boy.
* Re-did the Game Corner section of Goldenrod.
* Added the questions the lady at the Goldenrod Radio Tower
asks you.
I will be adding more as I play the English version.
Nintendo has also announced that the Yellow Forrest event
for the Pokewalker will become available on April the 1st
up until April the 30th.
______________________________________________________________________________
March 16th, 2010: Hello everyone! I am near the end of the English Version
(Got all 16 badges and most of the legendaries), so I have
several major additions.
* Added English names for trainers on the routes, caves,
and Gyms.
* Added Lapras to the side quest section.
* Added the PokeGear Phone Numbers to the guide.
* Added Daily/Weekly side quests as well as a schedule
for what you can do on each day.
* Added the questions the elder at the Dragon's Den asks
you and clarified how you get a Dratini.
* Added several places you can get decent hidden items,
like Rare Candy
* Added info on things you can do once you can surf
* Added some more info on various places, like the
Goldenrod Underground and the Celadon Game Corner
* Added a capture profile for Sudowoodo in the main
guide.
* Did a number of corrections, mainly stuff people pointed
out in their emails.
I was going to add Entei and Raikou in this update, but due
to time I will have to do it in the next one. Currently,

I am up to date with my emails and if I have not responded,
it is either because I already corrected something, the
question is already in the guide, or it is a old email.
Also, the next week might not have any updates, since I
will be rather busy. I will still answer any questions, and
if you still see anything wrong, let me know.
______________________________________________________________________________
April 7th, 2010: It has been awhile since I last updated...I have been
working on this version for awhile, but due to a variety of
things going on I have not had much of a chance to work on
it for half a month. Here is the updates:
* Added the Berry Guide section, which is a heavily
modified version of my berry guide from Platinum
* Added the side quest section for non-weekly or daily
side-quests
* Added Entei and Raikou to the side quest section
* Split the Pokegear Phonenumber section into a new
part of the guide called "Pokegear Guide"
* Corrected the Extremespeed Dratini info that MANY of you
have emailed me about.

* Added the requested Exclusives Guide to the Misc Guide
section
* Added the Special Wallpapers and Eggs section
* Added a new way to look at your Secret ID.
* Added my friends code at the bottom. If you feel like
battling, let me know and we will work out a time. I will
not do trades, however.
* Did several corrections here and there.
I have gone through all of my emails and made the changes
that were necessary. As for the next updates, I do plan on
adding some info on the Pokewalker finally after testing it
out for the last month or so, and I also plan to cover the
two new routes in Johto. I will be going on a trip at the
end of the month, so do not expect any updates until May.
______________________________________________________________________________
April 18, 2010: Although I did not add the new areas to the guide in this
update, I did add a few things I have been wanting to add
for awhile.
* Added the Swarm, Headbutt, Bug Catching Contest, and
Hoenn and Sinnoh sound to the Post-National Dex section

* Added the Bank of Mom and Rock Smash Item section to
the misc guide section.
* Thanks to a reader with the handle Tarken, I found out
that I missed the Wise Glasses item in not only the
main guide, but in the items guide.
* Thanks to a reader named Julie, I have made some changes
to the ability section for quite a few abilities.
* Thanks to a reader named Jeremy, we have some more info
on the Voltorb Flip game that I absolutely hate.
* Did some other minor corrections here and there.
I got to most of the emails, but there are still I few I
need to check although I got most of the important stuff
out of the way. Also, for those who do not know Pokemon
Black and White have been revealed and will be released in
Japan at the end of this year on the DS. Goodie...More work
in front of me.

When you first start up the game, you will be taken to a screen that has
several options on it. Press the bottom one to continue. Prof. Oak will then
appear and ask you if you are a boy or a girl and then your name. Once that is
done, you will be taken to New Bark Town.

/___________________________________________________________________________/
You will start in your room. Head on down and your mother will give you your
bag. You can now also save and view your status.
When you first step out, Marill will come up to you and then leave and you
will see the first glimpse of the opposite gender rival. If you are playing
as a male, your opposite gender rival will be Lyra, a new addition to the
GSC story and a replacement for Crystal's Kris female character. Female
characters will meet Ethan, the original protagonist from GSC.
You can explore a little bit and see a red haired boy in the window, but for
now continue to Prof. Elm's lab (The big building in the upper left). Go
inside and he will ask you to run a errand for him and let you choose between
3 Pokemon.
* Totodile, a water Pokemon
* Chikorita, a grass Pokemon
* Cyndaquil, a fire Pokemon
In this game, Cyndaquil is actually easy mode, Totodile is medium, and
Chikorita is hard to use against the gyms, so choose wisely. The Pokemon
you choose will also appear behind you now. Before you leave, Prof. Elm's
aid will give you 5 Potions.
After you exit the lab, Ethan or Lyra will appear and talk to you and leave
again. Once that is finished, go talk to your mother and she will give you
the Pokegear. It is similar to how it worked in the original GSC versions,
but it now has touchscreen support. Leave your house and try to go west
and Prof. Elm will appear and give you his phone number. Once you are ready,
head to Route 29.

Since you just got your first Pokemon, you might want to take the time to
fight some of the Pokemon on this route for experience. It is mainly Sentret
for the most part, but Hoothoot do come out at night. You cannot catch Pokemon
at this point, so it is just battling at this point. Head west until you reach
Cherrygrove City.

* Note that items such as Pokeballs will not be available until after you
have learned how to capture Pokemon.
Once you enter Cherrygrove, a old man at the entrance will show you around and
then give you the Running Shoes, a staple of the series since RSE that allows
you to run when you hold the B Button. If you tap the shoes on the touch
screen, they will allow you to run without pressing the B Button. However,
keep in mind that wild pokemon will appear more if you are using the Running
Shoes, so you may want to walk while you are in grass.
You might want to heal up at this point at the Pokemon Center. You cannot
capture Pokemon at the moment, so you will have to wait. You can buy Potions
however. Once you are ready, head over to Route 30. When you try to leave,
the old man will stop you and give you a Pokegear add-on called the Map
Card. It will allow you to see the map via the Pokegear and keep track of
any roaming Pokemon you have active.

Route 30 has changed a little bit since the old days. You still do not have
any Pokeballs, but you can get a Apricorn Box from the man in the first house
you see. It will allow you to get Apricorns from the different looking trees
around Johto.
You can't go up the west side of the route yet, so continue to the east side
up to Mr. Pokemon's house. Inside, you will find Prof. Oak and Mr. Pokemon
talking and Mr. Pokemon will give you the Odd Egg key item and heal your
Pokemon. After that, Prof Oak will give you the Johto Pokedex and his
phone number. Head outside and Prof. Elm will call you and say that one of his
Pokemon has been stolen.
+========================+
|Cherrygrove and Route 29|
+========================+
Head back to Cherrygrove and then to Route 29 (Make sure your Pokemon are
healed). A red haired boy will appear and you will find out he was the one
who stole the Pokemon and then fight you.

/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Passerby Boy |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Cyndaquil (If you choose Chikorita) lv 5 (Fire) |
|Totodile (If you choose Cyndaquil lv 5 (Water) |
|Chikorita (If you choose Totodile) lv 5 (Grass) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Like any rival fight, he will have the Pokemon that you are weak |
| against. Good thing is you should be at least lv 7 by now and he has |
| no elemental attacks. You also should still have those potions that |
| Prof. Elm's aid gave you earlier, so use them if you need them. Its |
| easy experience. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once that is done, heal up at the Pokemon Center and head back to New Bark
Town and to Prof. Elm's lab.
Inside, Prof. Elm will be talking to a police officer, and Ethan or Lyra will
appear and then the Police Officer will ask you for your Rival's name. Like
your name, you can only do 5 characters in the Japanese version so choose
well. Talk to Prof. Elm and you will give him the Odd Egg.
Once you are ready, head back to Route 229 and Ethan or Lyra will be there and
explain how you capture Pokemon. After he/she shows you, they will give you 5
Pokeballs. You can also now buy Pokeballs from the Pokemarts.
Now that you have some Pokeballs, you can finally access the early part of
Route 46. Head to Route 29 go on the upper part of the route until you find a
gatehouse that will lead to the first half of Route 46.

Not much you can do on the southern part of Route 46. There are a few rare
Pokemon you can capture, such as Geodude and Spearow. When you try to go
North, you will find that the path is blocked due to a ledge. You won't be
able to reach the other side until much later in the game.
Head back to Cherrygrove (Might want to buy some Pokeballs), and then to
Route 30 again.

Go back to the area where the two guys were fighting, and they should be done
by now. Once you beat the first kid, he will ask you if you can register his
phone number.
There are several Pokemon you can capture on the route, such as Caterpie,
Pidgey, and so on. You might want to look at capturing one for the gym ahead
especially if you choose Chikorita.
Keep going north and your mother will eventually call you and ask if you want
to set up a bank. Say yes and part of your money after every battle will go
to her.

Once you get up as far as you can, go northeast and you will find
Dark Cave. Inside, you can capture Pokemon like Zubat and Geodude. Once you
are at that point, go west until you hit Violet City. Once you go inside
the gatehouse, your other rival will come and give you the VS. Recorder.
After that, continue to Violet City.

Your first major city, and home to your first Gym. Here is the layout of the
land: In the northwest part is a gatehouse that leads to Route 36. You cannot
do much at this point because of a weird tree blocking the way. On Route 36,
you can make a sidetrack to the Ruins of Alph.

\_____________________________________________________/
A little different from the first game, the ruins are now locked and the only
way to activate them is to go to the one open ruin on the right side. Inside,
you will find a Kabuto puzzle. Unlike the first game, you now use the touch
screen to figure it out, and you have to rotate the pieces with your stylus.
Once you solve it, you will drop down into the ruins.
Inside, a researcher will talk to you and then give you the Unown Report, a
special Pokedex that records what Unown (A special psychic Pokemon exclusive
to the Ruins of Alph). It will only record them when you capture them, and
will list what the Unown mean in English. You can access the Unown Report via
the Key Items slot. Once you are ready, head down to find a ladder to get out.
At this point, the other ruins are sealed, so you cannot get all the Unown at
this point. Continue back to Violet city.
+===========+
|Violet City|
+===========+
A few things you can do before continuing. Talk to the man behind the Pokemart
and select the last option and he will twirl around and take you to the
trainer's school. He is the teacher there and is named Mr. E (Earl). Inside,
there is a man that will have you enter in something, and Earl will ask you
questions. Email me if you have any info.
If you have a Bellsprout, you can trade for a Onix in the lower right house
that is near the Pokemon center. It will be helpful for the upcoming battle
against the Gym Leader. You can capture a Bellsprout by going to Route 30,
although they are uncommon. Once you are ready, go north to Sprout Tower.

Once inside, go up the left ladder. On the second floor, you will start
fighting Pokemon like Rattata
You will be able to fight the sage's here, although like the name says most
of their Pokemon will be Bellsprout. Go right and then head down the ladder,
and then go left and up the ladder. On the next floor, go down and then right
to the next ladder.
You will then be on the top floor. Battle the monks and go forward. You will
then see your rival beat the head sage and then use a escape rope to exit. You
can also get a escape rope to the right of the head monk.
Talk to the head monk and he will battle you.

|Info: Depending on what starter you have, this can either be a very easy or |
| a very hard battle. Cyndaquil can handle this fine, but Totodile will |
| have problems with the two bellsprouts, and Chikorita will be weak |
| against Hoothoot. Its recommended that you have another Pokemon with |
| you, such as Zubat/Pidgey for the Bellsprout and Onix/Geodude for the |
| Hoothoot. The bellsprouts usually just use Vine Whip and occasionally |
| growth, while Hoothoot likes to use Hypnosis and then Peck. |
\----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, you will get TM70, Flash. Either walk back down or use the
Escape Rope to exit
+===========+
|Violet City|
+===========+
Now that you have done that, you can now challenge the gym leader. You will
want your Pokemon to be about level 9 or above for the most part, and if you
have a Chikorita, you will want a additional Pokemon (Such as Onix). Once
you are ready, go to the Violet City Gym.

\_______________________________________________________/
In order to use the lift to get to the top floor, you will need to have beaten
Sprout Tower and its leader. Once you do that, you will be able to go to the
top.
You can either avoid the trainers, or fight them, but you may want to for the
experience alone. Once you are ready talk to the gym leader Falkner to start
the battle.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Falkner |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Pidgey lv 9 (Normal/Flying) |
|Pidgeotto lv 13 (Normal/Flying) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Falkner has increased his levels a little, now being a little tougher |
| then he used to be. His Pidgey likes to use Sand Attack and then |
| tackle a whole bunch, so you may want to bring a Pokemon that can take|
| it out quickly before it does sand attack too many times. |
| |
| Pidgeotto, however, it the real problem. It likes to use Gust, Tackle,|
| and Roost. If you have a Cyndaquil, Totodile or their evolutions, use |
| them. If you choose Chikorita, you are going to have to be a little |
| more crafty. |
| |
| One strategy I used with Chikorita was to use Onix first and beat the |
| Pidgey (Onix was at level 8), and then switch to Chikorita and use |
| Poisonpowder and switch back to Onix. As long as you have potions, |
| Pidgeotto will eventually run out of Roosts to use (Roost recovers |
| health and makes any flying Pokemon the normal type). Another strategy|
| is to use a fighting move once it uses Roost. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat Falkner, you will get TM51 (Roost) and the Zephyr Badge. All
Pokemon you get in trades up to level 20 will now obay you, and you can now
use Rock Smash out of battle as well.
After you leave the Gym, Prof. Elm will call you and tell you to meet up with
his aide at the Pokemart. Go to the Pokemart and talk to the aide to get a
egg with Togepi in it. When you leave the Pokemart, one of the Kimono girls
from the original G/S/C will come up to you and talk about your egg and run
off.
Once you are ready, go south of the Pokemart until you reach Route 32.

Right as soon as you go down you will see a gatehouse to the west. It only
leads to the Ruins of Alph, so leave that alone for now. Go down a little more
and a man on the route will give you a Miracle Seed.
Not much else to do on the route. You can capture some higher level Bellsprout
and Mareep, a electric Pokemon that has a pretty decent evolution. At the end
is a Pokemon center and the entrance to Union Cave.
If you go south of the Pokemon center, you will find a rock you can break with
Rock Smash. Break it, and it will lead to a path that has a Shell Bell in a
item ball. The Shell Bell, when attached to a Pokemon, recovers HP every time
the Pokemon attacks.

Oh goodie, more Geodude, Rattata, and Zubat await! Anywho, once you are in,
head left and then down. Fight the mountain climber and then head right, then
down and fight the mountain climber. Go right and then down. You can either
fight the flamethrower man or ignore him, but head right and then down until
you fight a PokeManiac with a Slowpoke. After that, head to the right until
you find the exit to route 33.

Route 33 is a little different from when you remember it. It is now raining,
and the effects of Rain Dance are effective during the battle (Meaning water
moves do more and thunder is 100% accurate). There is one mountain climber
you can fight and some Apricorns to pick. Once you are ready, move on to
Azalea Town.

As soon as you get near the well, you see a Team Rocket member talk to a guy
and blocking the well. You cannot enter it yet, so go west. Head to the
Pokemon Center first to heal up and then look around the town.
As you can see, Team Rocket has invaded the town and won't let you enter the
gym. You can go west and find a gatehouse that will lead to the Ilex Forest,
but you cannot get far since you do not have cut. Once you are ready to
continue, go to the upper left house and talk to the man inside (Kurt, a
guy that makes Pokeballs out of the Apricorns you have been collecting). Once
you talk to him, he will run off to the well.
Head back to where the well is, and you will see that the rocket member is
gone. Go down the pathway and go up the ladder to enter the well.

|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: A pretty simple battle. His Zubat is your average one, so take it down|
| with electric or rock attacks. His Koffing is a different story, |
| though. It has higher defense, so it might take a few turns to bring |
| it down. Its attacks are nothing special though, just Smog, Tackle |
| and Smokescreen for the most part. Very easy battle. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
After you beat Executive Proton, Kurt will appear and take you back to his
house where he will give you a special Apricorn Pokeball called the Fast Ball
and his daughter will ask if you would like to register their phone number.
You have a choice: You can either face your Rival now or wait until after the
Gym. If your Pokemon are at least level 15 or above, go for it. Otherwise,
wait until afterwards. For now, lets go to the Gym for the second badge.

The gym has changed a little bit from what you remember. There are several
robotic Spinarak that you ride to get to the other side. However, they go
in a certain path that you have to follow. Go on the wrong path, and you
might have to fight a trainer.
Anywho, here is the solution to get to the Gym Leader:
1. Take the left Spinarak and fight the trainer
2. Take the lone Spinarak and fight the twins. Use the lever next to them
3. Ride the Spinarak back on the path and hit the next lever.
Once that is done, you will fight the gym leader, Bugsy.

|Pokemon: |
|Scyther lv 17 (Flying/Bug) |
|Metapod lv 15 (Bug) |
|Kakuna lv 15 (Bug/Poison) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Bugsy may have the same team from back then, but the strategy is very |
| different. One main change is he starts with Scyther. Reason being is |
| Scyther now uses U-Turn a powerful attack that switches out with |
| another Pokemon after it is used. Kakuna and Metapod are both very |
| weak and only have the attacks they had when they were Weedle and |
| Caterpie respectively, so they are not hard to KO. |
| |
| The real danger actually begins after both are knocked out, since he |
| can now use U-Turn without having to switch out. Many times it will be|
| a instant knockout, so be careful. Scyther also has Quick Attack, Leer|
| and Focus Energy (Be careful if he uses Focus Energy). The best |
| Pokemon to use is fire and rock (Quilava, Geodude, and Onix are all |
| good Pokemon to use). Pokemon with high resistance also helps as well.|
| It might be a good idea to use some potions and wait until he runs |
| out of PP for U-Turn if he is too hard otherwise. |
\----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Bugsy, you will get the Hive Badge and TM89. You can now also
use cut outside of battle and control traded Pokemon up to level 30. Once you
are ready, hit the switch next to Bugsy to go back to the entrance and back to
Azalea Town.
+===========+

If you have not fought your rival yet, go back to the Pokemon center first and
heal. Afterwards, go near the gatehouse to the west and your rival will show
up. Boss time!

|Pokemon: |
|Gastly lv 14 (Ghost/Poison) |
|Zubat lv 16 (Poison/Flying) |
|Quilava (If you choose Chikorita) lv 18 (Fire) |
|Bayleef (If you choose Totodile) lv 18 (Grass) |
|Croconaw (If you choose Cyndaquil) lv 18 (Water) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Your rival's Pokemon are a little higher then they were in the past. |
| Its recommended that your team is at least level 15 before fighting |
| him. |
| |
| Gastly is a new Pokemon you have not fought yet, and is a ghost and |
| Poison type. Normal attacks will not effect it, so ghost and psychic |
| attacks work well. It has Levitate, so ground attacks are useless |
| against it. |
| |
| Zubat is nothing new. Electric, Psychic or rock attacks all work well |
| against it. Onix, Mareep, and Geodude are all good to use. |
| |
| Finally, your rival's starter is your biggest threat. Unlike later |
| games, the Johto starters do not have a dual type, so you cannot |
| exploit any other weaknesses. Ground attacks are useful against |
| Quilava, grass and electric are good against Croconaw, and flying is |
| effective against Bayleef. Onix/Geodude, Flaffy, and Pidgey are useful|
| in that order. |
\----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, he will run back into the Ilex Forest. Head back to the
Pokemon Center and heal. You might want to pick up a few repels before you
head out, since the encounter rate is brutal at times. Once you are ready,
head west to the Ilex Forest.

Once you are ready, head up and you will talk to one of the people from the
Charcoal house from Azalea. He mentions that several of his Farfetch'd have
run off, and wants you to go get them.
The trick to capturing them is sneaking up behind them, and that becomes hard
if you step on the twigs. The first time you go to the right, you will always
step on the twigs and have the Farfetch'd notice you. After you do that, go
to the right and avoid the other set of twigs and go around the right path
until you are behind the Farfetch'd. Press A and you will capture it.
For the second one, chase it to the right side by going up the left and
pressing A. After that, go back down and on the right path. Step on the
first set of twigs to make the Farfetch'd look to the right, and then go up
and ignore the second patch and go down and press A.
After that, the owner will show up and give you HM01 Cut. Teach it to one of
your Pokemon and then cut down the tree that is in front of you. Also, if you
go back to Azalea Town and go to the building that is on the far right bottom,
talk to the assistant inside and he will give you the Charcoal item. It will
increase fire type moves when it is attached to a Pokemon.
Once you cut down the tree, go up and then up to the left. Then go right
and up. After that, you will meet one of the Kimono girls again. Press the top
option and your Pokemon will jump around and she will leave.
There is also a path on the right side that will lead you to a big guy that is
headbutting a tree. If you talk to him, he will teach any of your Pokemon
Headbutt, and he will do this any number of times that you ask.
Go left to find the exit. In the gatehouse, talk to the woman with the
Butterfree to get TM12 (Taunt).

Route 34 is full of various trainers to fight and new Pokemon to catch. One
of those Pokemon is Abra, a very hard to catch Pokemon unless you have sleep
moves. Its also a good route to gain experience on, since you will want your
Pokemon to be about level 16 or above.
Another landmark on this route is the daycare/breeding center. When you get
close, Ethan/Lyra will appear and talk to the Daycare couple. As it turns out,
they are Ethan/Lyra's grandparents. He/she will then take you inside and
introduce you to his/her grandma and give you their phone number phone number.
Once you exit, the old man will give you his phone number as well. You can now
use the center for leveling your Pokemon (1 step = one EXP point), or put two
Pokemon in and create a egg if they are compatible and a male and female
(Look at the breeding guide for more info).
Near the end of the route, if you go to the right, you can find TM63 (Embargo)
in the grass in a item ball out in the open.
Once you are ready, head north to Goldenrod City.

|Goldenrod Department Store|

The first floor does not have much. There is a man near the service desk that
will give you several berries when you talk to him. You can either take the
elevator or the stairs. One thing you will notice is many of the items they
sell here are the exact same ones they sold in D/P/Pl, minus the furniture.

\_______________________________________________________/
The Goldenrod Underground is located south of the game corner and also near
the Name Raters house at the north part of Goldenrod. When you first enter,
Ethan or Lyra will appear and give you the Accessory Case. While there is
no contests in Johto, they can be used for dressing up your Pokemon for
pictures.
Once you are in the underground, you will find several trainers. There is also
a variety of different things that appear down there on certain days. The
Bargain Shops appears on Monday mornings, and has sell-able items that you can
buy for slightly lower.
The two hairdressers that raise your Pokemon's happiness appear on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday for the older brother (Costs 500p, but you get more
happiness on your Pokemon), and the younger brother shows up on Sunday,
Wednesday, and Friday (300p, but less happiness gain).
Finally, the herb shop sells various bitter herbs that are cheaper then buying
them from a Pokemon shop, but decrease your Pokemon's happiness.

You can also take pictures by talking to the guy on the upper right side. You
can take a special picture dressed in a Team Rocket uniform.
+=====================+
|Goldenrod Game Corner|
+=====================+
The game corner side quest is slightly different depending on what version
you are playing. You can find the game corner above the Pokemon Center.
JAPANESE VERSION:
==============================================================================
In the game corner, you can find TM78 (Captivate). To play any of the slots,
you will need to go to the underground portion of Goldenrod that is south of
the game corner.
The slots are similar to how they were in the past: You can pay either 1, 2 or
3 coins and depending on how many you put in you can line them up several
ways. You can also get a bonus round if you line up 3 Pokeballs. The machines
also sometimes pay out more for match ups and is shown at the top.
==============================================================================
You can still get the Accessory Case by going to the underground, although you
can no longer find the Coin Case there.

NORTH AMERICAN AND PAL VERSIONS:
==============================================================================
The game corner has been completely been redesigned. The TM for Captivate is
no longer located there, and the building is now only a card table with a
NPC called Mr. Game with two old gentlemen that act as the receptionist. You
can't buy coins anymore, either. On the other hand, the mini-game no longer
requires you to spend coins. If you talk to Mr. Game, he will give you the
Coin Case.
The new game is a minesweeper-like game called Voltorb Flip. The game is a
bit complicated when you first do it, but it is basic once you figure it out:
There are 5 rows with 5 blocks in each, with a total of 25 blocks total for
the entire game. On the right side and on the bottom is the number of Voltorbs
that is on that row, and what the number adds up to. So, if a row has a 05
at the top and 0 Voltorb, that means that there is all 1s there.
You gain coins depending on how many multiples you can get. Say, for example
that you get 1 to begin with, you will get 1 coin. If you keep finding 1s,
then it will not go up, but if you find a 2x or 3x, you will double your coins
and get 2 or 3 coins.
If you find another 2x or 3x, the amount you have in the Coins Collected in
Current Game will be multiplied. However, if you run into a Voltorb, it will
be game over and you will lose any coins for the current game.
You can, however, collect any coins you have with the current game by pressing
the B button. Any coins you collected during your game will be added to your
coin case. You level up by finding all the 2 and 3 numbers on the board.
The best advise I have is to knock out the rows with 0 Voltorb first, and then
tackle the other rows. If you don't feel too brave, you can quit after taking
out the 0 voltorb rows and still have a decent amount of coins left over most
of the time.
Jeremy has this to add:
______________________________________________________________________________
"Flipping 2's and 3's is the only way to earn coins and clear the level, so a
lot of playing the game boils down to identifying squares that don't have a 2
or 3; skipping those squares improves your chances a lot.
If the number plus the voltorb count for a row or column totals to 5, don't
bother flipping any squares there, it's only 1's and Voltorbs. For example,
if the row says 4 / 1, then there is one Voltorb and 4 1's in that row.
If the number plus the voltorb count is bigger than 5, that tells you how
many "extras" or scorable points there are in that row or column. For
example, if the column says 4 / 2, the total is 6, one more than 5; this
tells you that there is one scoring square in that column (the column will be
two Voltorbs, two 1's and one 2).
However, it's not always that simple. When the number of "extras" gets
higher, you can't be sure how many scoring squares there are. For example, a
row that is 6 / 1 could be : (one voltorb, three 1's and one 3) or (one
voltorb, two 1's and two 2's).
The strategy I use is :
- First flip all the squares in rows and columns with 0 Voltorbs
- Identify the rows and columns that don't have any "extras" and use the memo
function to mark them all (I mark them as a "1" since that's the best that
is there, but you could mark them as being either "voltorb" or "1"). I
usually never flip these marked squares.
- Pick the row with the highest number of extras that are still unknown (if
you're greedy) or pick the row with extras that has the lowest number of
Voltorbs (if you're cautious).
- Pick a column in the same way, and flip the square for your chosen row and
column. This isn't guaranteed to be safe, sometimes you will lose when you
do this. It's a matter of guessing and playing the odds; if you do it
right it will be safe more often than not.
- Repeat the above steps as you go, using logic to figure out rows or columns
which only have 1's and Voltorbs left, and flipping the squares that seem
most likely to have a scoring number. Sometimes I can figure out exactly
where some of the Voltorbs are, and I use the memo function to label those.
I tend to start a game being greedy and get more conservative as I go.
- When things go well, the last few moves are sure things. If I've got a
good score but there are no sure things at the end, it's time to quit and
start a new game that will hopefully be easier."
==============================================================================
You can get the following from the attendants on the right:
Pokemon:
/_______________________________\
|Name |Price |
|___________________|___________|
|Abra |200 Coins |
|Ekans (HeartGold) |700 Coins |
|Sandshrew (SoulSil)|700 Coins |
|Dratini |2,100 Coins|

Items:

|TM 44 Rest |6,000 coins |
|TM 13 Ice Beam |10,000 Coins|
|TM 35 Flamethrower |10,000 Coins|
|TM 24 Thunderbolt |10,000 Coins|
\________________________________/
If you have someone you can link up with, get a Abra. You might also want to
consider a Dratini, since it will be one of the few Dragon Pokemon for awhile
and a rather powerful one at that.
+=======+
|The GTS|
+=======+
Located on the left side of Goldenrod, the GTS is similar to its Platinum
incarnation. So much so that it connects to the same server at D/P/Pl. You
can either put your Pokemon up to trade or request a similar one. You will
need to have seen the Pokemon in your Pokedex to request or search for it
on the GTS.
+============+
|Other Things|
+============+
There is a tent on the upper right side of Goldenrod with a old man inside.
He will allow you to change your Pokemon's nickname if you talk to him.
If you go on the right path in the middle and go down, you can find the
Cycling Shop. Talk to the man inside and he will give you a free bike.
It is a little different then its D/P/Pl incarnation, since it does not have
two speeds and is hard to turn even though it is at normal speed.
Once you capture or defeat the Sudowoodo, you can buy Mulch at the flower
shop (Growth Mulch, Stable Mulch, Damp Mulch, and Gooey Mulch for 200p
each).
There is a lady in a house to the right of the Department Store that will let
you know how your Pokemon like you. This is handy if you have a Pokemon you
want to evolve from a happiness evolution.
If you go to the gym, you will find a woman blocking the way. She tells you
that Whitney, the Gym leader, is at the Radio Tower on the west side of
Goldenrod. Head to the radio tower and talk to the attendant next to Whitney
(The red haired girl) and answer the following:
Question #1: Can you check the Town Map with your Pokegear?
- Yes
Question #2: NIDORINA can only be female. True?
- Yes
Question #3: Kurt, the Poke Ball Creator, uses apricots as Ingredients?
- No
Question #4: It's impossible to use a TM on MAGIKARP, True?
- Yes
Question #5: In Professor Oak's popular show, Pokemon Talk, is he on with
Marie?
- No
Once you do that, you will win the Radio Card expansion and Whitney will
return to the Gym. You can now enter the gym and challenge her.

A bit of new and old. The gym is the same layout it was back in its G/S/C
days, but it is now a gigantic maze. The fastest way to get to Whitney is
the following:
- First go up the stairs you see when you first enter. Go to the right and
down the other set of stairs.
- Go right and up until you fight a trainer. Then go up and then right. Ignore
the stairs and go through the tunnel.
- Go fight the two trainers and go up through the other tunnel to Whitney.

|Boss: Whitney |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Clefairy lv 17 (Normal) |
|Milktank lv 19 (Normal) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: The same levels you fought her at in GSC, Whitney has not changed too |
| much. Her Clefairy can use Mimic to learn the last attack you did, |
| Doubleslap, and Metronome to do a random attack. |
| |
| Her Milktank is the same as always. It knows Attract to make it hard |
| for male Pokemon to hit, the powerful Stomp attack, Milk Drink to |
| recover health, and Rollout. Rollout is her most dangerous attack, |
| since it gains power every time it is used and only goes back to |
| normal if it misses. |
| |
| Best thing to do is to bring a fighting type Pokemon or a Pokemon that|
| can use fighting type moves. Ghosts also work well to a point, |
| although Rollout is a rock type attack, so be careful of using flying |
| Pokemon. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
After you beat her, Whitney will start crying and won't give you the badge.
When you try to leave, one of the trainers will stop you and tell her to talk
to Whitney again. She will then give you the Plain Badge and TM45 Attract.
+===============+
|Goldenrod City |
+===============+
Once you have the Plain Badge, go to the flower house and get the Squirt
Bottle from the lady. You will need it for later. Go to the Pokemon Center and
heal, and then head north to Route 35.

There are a couple of things you can do on this route. There is a man to the
right that will take a picture of you and your team if you say Yes. You can
do this as many times as you want. Keep going on the route and fighting the
trainers. Once you are near the end, you can finally capture some Pokemon.
You can get Nidoran male and female on this route.
Once you hit the grass part head right, fight the trainer, and cut down the
tree. Continue up and then go to the right some more and you will eventually
find the tree that was blocking your way earlier. By now, you have reached
Route 36.
Alternatively, you can keep going straight and head to the National Park

Ah, the National Park. Depending on what day it is, you can enter in the
Bug-Catching Contest. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, you can register
at one of the gatehouses to enter the competition.
There are several decent items here as well. If you go in a hole in the gate
on the upper right side and go on the left path, you will find TM 28 (Dig),
and going on the right path will have a Sooth Bell, a great tool for making
Pokemon that evolve via Happiness get there much quicker.
Otherwise, the place is full of trainers. Once you are ready, continue east
to Route 36.

|Level 20 |
|Rock |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: As some of you might be aware from playing GSC and D/P/Pl, Sudowoodo |
| is not a grass Pokemon but actually a Rock type. It has Flail, Low |
| Kick, Rock Throw, and Mimic. While it is not very strong, its defenses|
| are rather high, making it rather hard to capture without a decent |
| water or grass Pokemon (Paralyze and Sleep also work well here). |
| Beware of his flail attack though, since it will do a ton of damage |
| if its HP is low. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
It is a lv 20 Sudowoodo, something you might want to consider catching since
it is the only one in this game (You can get plenty of them in D/P/Pl though
so it is up to you). If you do not capture it now, it will re-appear after you
beat the Elite Four.
After you do that, a girl that is near the tree will give you the Berry Pots
key item, the main way to grow berries in Johto. You can grow up to 4 of them
at a time, and she also gives you some berries to go along with it. After
that, go left and then up and you will hit route 37.

or Vulpix on this route (Depending on your version). Once you are done, continue
up to Ecruteak City,

Head to the Pokemon Center first. When you do, you will meet Bill, the man who
build the PC Storage system you use to store Pokemon. If you go back to his
house in Goldenrod, you can get a lv 5 Eevee.

If you go inside the house that is to the left of the Pokemon Center, the man
inside will give you the Dowsing MCHN, formerly known as the Itemfinder in
GSC. It has been upgraded and now has touchscreen support.
Once you get the Dowsing MCHN, look near the water fountain on the right of
Bell Tower on the right side of Ecruteak. You can find a hidden Rare Candy
near there.
If you go into the house above the Pokemon Center, you will see one of the
Kimono girls talking to a team rocket member. Go up and fight the rocket, all
he has is a lv 12 Koffing. After you beat him, the rocket will run off. Once
you get off the stage, the man sitting in the audience will give you HM 03
(Surf), although you cannot use it at the moment since you do not have the
badge.
You cannot enter the Bell Tower (Formerly the Tin Tower) at the moment, but
you can get your picture taken in front of the entrance. Once you are ready
to continue, head to the upper left corner and enter the burned tower.

As soon as you enter, you will see Eusine from Pokemon Crystal. He will
approach you, but not battle. You will also see Morty in the tower as well.
There are a few wild Pokemon, such as Koffing if you want to capture them.
Once you are ready, go near the ladder and your rival will challenge you.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Rival |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Magnemite lv 18 (Electric/Steel) |
|Quilava lv 22 (Fire) *If you choose Chikorita |
|Bayleef lv 22 (Grass) *If you choose Totodile |
|Croconaw lv 22 (Water) *If you choose Cyndaquil |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Your rival's Pokemon has gone up a little bit from the last time you |
| fought him. Gastly is the same as always, although it now has Confuse |
| Ray. If you have a Pokemon that can use Bite or any other Dark/Ghost/ |
| Psychic attacks, use them. Magnemite is fairly dangerous, since it |
| can confuse you will Supersonic, attack you with Thunderbolt, and take|
| off 20 HP every turn with Sonic Boom. Ground attacks work best, but |
| fire and fighting are also effective. |
| |
| Zubat has Bite and Supersonic, so take it out with a Electric or Rock |
| Pokemon. Finally, his starter is his highest level Pokemon at level |
| 22. Use the same strategy you used in your last battle with him. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Geodude/Onix with Rock and Ground attacks|
| Kadabra with Psychic attacks, Flaffy with Electric Attacks, and any |
| opposite type that can take out your rival's team. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat your rival, he will run off. Once he does that, you can explore
the top floor a little more. There are several firebreathers that you can
battle, and the Koffing are good EXP if you need to get any Pokemon up to
level 20. Once you are ready, head down the ladder to the floor below.

Once you are at the bottom, go near the legendary dogs and they will each run
off in different directions. Eusine will come down and talk for a little bit
and then leave. Once you are ready, leave the burned tower.
Once you are ready, head to the Ecruteak City Gym. Make sure your Pokemon are
all above level 20, preferably around lv 22 or up.

A little different then the GSC, Morty's gym now has a visible walkway.
However, the trick is that you are going to fight pretty much every trainer
in the gym. Once you beat them, their light goes out, making it hard to get
to the end. If you fall into the pit, you are warped back to the beginning
of the gym. The good thing is once you do step in the pit, the trainer's light
comes back on. Once you get to the end, save and fight Morty.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Morty |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Haunter lv 21 (Ghost/Poison) |
|Gengar lv 25 (Ghost/Poison) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Morty, who was one of the toughest gym leaders in the original GSC, |
| keeps his position in HG/SS. If you are unprepared, you are going to |
| have major issues. |
| |
| First, Gastly. It does not use too many attacks, but its biggest |
| threat is Curse: A attack that halves its HP and takes away some HP |
| every turn. It cancels out if you switch out, but it likes to use |
| Mean Look to keep you into battle. Finally, it uses Spite to lower |
| your attack PP slowly. |
| |
| The level 21 is another threat. It likes to use Hypnosis first, and |
| then it likes to use Dream Eater. It also has Night Shade, a attack |
| that does damage equal to your level, and Curse again. Best thing to |
| do is have a bunch of Awakenings. Morty also has a second Haunter, so |
| take care of it the same way you did this one. |
| |
| His Gengar, however, is his biggest threat. Its main attack is Shadow |
| Ball, a very powerful ghost attack. He can also use Sucker Punch as |
| well. Best thing to do is to use a normal Pokemon to cancel out his |
| Shadow Ball attack. |
| |
| So, what is recommended? Normal Pokemon are all good to use, since |
| they have total resistance against Ghost Pokemon. The double-edge to |
| this is normal attacks do not hit Ghost Pokemon, so you will need to |
| have other element attacks on your Pokemon (The goldenrod department |
| store is a good place for them). Psychic and Dark attacks work well, |
| so Pokemon that have Confusion or Bite are good. Butterfree learns |
| Confusion, and Zubat and several others learn Bite. Because they are |
| part poison, you can not put Poison condition on them, so you might |
| want to Paralyze or put his team to Sleep. Also, because they all have|
| the levitate ability, you cannot use ground attacks again his Pokemon.|
\____________________________________________________________________________/
After the battle, Morty will give you the Fog Badge, which lets you control
traded Pokemon up to level 50 and allows you to use Surf outside of battle. He
also gives you TM30, Shadow Ball.
Head back to the Pokemon Center and heal. Now, for some other stuff to do. If
you go east to Route 42, you will find a cave and some water you can surf
across. Next to the cave is TM65, Shadow Claw. Its a decent TM, so you might
want to pick it up. When you go near a cave, a mountain climber will come out
and give you HM04, Strength. You can surf on the other side and reach Mahogany
Town sooner then normal and do the Rocket Hideout + Gym there early, but for
now we will wait on that.
There are now a few things you can do with Surf. Here are a list of places
with areas with decent items that you can get.
+================+
|Cherrygrove City|
+================+
In Cherrygrove City, there is some water on the left side you can surf across
to find a small island with a man on it. Talk to him and he will give you the
Mystic Water item, which powers up Water-type moves.
+========+
|Route 30|
+========+
On the right side of Route 30 at the very beginning coming from Cherrygrove is
a pond you can surf on. Go down and you can find a Nugget that is invisible by
pressing A (Use the Dowsing MCHN if you have trouble finding it).
+===========+
|Violet City|
+===========+
Near the Sprout Tower is some water you can surf across. If you surf on the
left side, you will find a PP Up. If you surf on the right, you will find a
Rare Candy.
+=============+
|Slowpoke Well|
+=============+
You will need both Strength and Surf for this. Go back to the area where you
fought the Rocket Executives and you will find a boulder on the left side that
you can push. Go down the path and you will find a area you can surf on. Surf
across it and go down the ladder to reach a new area of Slowpoke Well.
There are two paths in this room that you can surf on. The left one will lead
you to a ledge where you will find a Researcher who will give you the Kings
Rock. The Kings Rock is a rather decent item that makes your opponent Pokemon
occasionally flinch when you use a attack, but its main purpose is to evolve
Poliwhirl and Slowpoke into Politoed and Slowking respectively when you do a
link trade with the King's Rock attached.
The right side has a item ball with TM 18 (Rain Dance). Rain Dance both
increases the power of water moves and makes Thunder 100% accurate.

Route 34 has several things of interest. On the left side of the route is a
thin water path that leads down. Swim down and you will eventually find a
item ball with a Nugget inside.
Keep going down and you will find a group of three Ace Trainers. The first two
will attack you in a double battle, and the third will have several high level
Pokemon for this early in the game (26-28). After you beat Ace Trainer Kate,
she will give you the Power Herb.

+========+
|Route 35|
+========+
If you surf across on Route 35, you will find a Green Apricorn tree and a
hidden nugget if you keep going up. Use the Dowsing MHCN to find it.
Once you are ready, head west to Route 38

A rather big route with a bunch of new Pokemon. If you need a electric and
steel Pokemon, you can capture Magnemite now. Another new one is Tauros, a
very strong Normal type Pokemon. Also, if you do no have a Pokemon that can
surf, you might want to get one now. You can also get Miltank on this route
as well (Same Pokemon Whitney uses earlier). Farfetch'd is another new
Pokemon, but it is rather weak so you might only want it for completion.
Outside of fighting trainers, there is not much else to do. Head left to
Route 39

Once you go on Route 39, a old man named Baoba will approach you. He is the
former warden of the Kanto Safari Zone, and he is setting one up in Johto.
When you are done talking to him, he will give you his number and let you know
when it opens.
You now have several options: You can either go to the MooMoo Ranch for a side
quest, or head straight down to Olivine. The MooMoo ranch is on the very top
of the route, the one with all the Miltank in the front. You can get your
picture taken there if you want.
If you go inside, you will find a sick Miltank. To cure it, you will need to
feed it 5 Oran Berries. Once you do, you will get the Seal Case and the
ability to buy some MooMoo milk for 500p. There is also a invisible PP Up
near the Milktank on the Moomoo ranch.
You can also find TM 60 (Drain Punch) by going directly south of the MooMoo
Ranch and picking up the item ball on the left. There is also a invisible
nugget nearby.
Once you are ready, head south down to Olivine.

Once you walk past the gym, your rival will appear and talk to you for a
little bit and then leave, saying that the gym leader is at the light house.
You can do a couple of things in Olivine. If you go to the house above the
Pokemon Center, you can get the Good Rod. Go down the path next to the
Pokemart and head up and you will find two houses. If you have the seal case,
a girl in the right house will give you a couple of seals. In the house on
the left is a fisherman who will trade you a Voltorb with a Cheri Berry for
a Krabby. You can fish for one with the good rod in Olivine, so they are not
too hard to find.
If you surf on the right side of Olivine, you will find TM 57 (Charge Beam)
in a item ball on a small bit of land.
Once you are ready, head east to the lighthouse.

Sort of a mini-dungeon of sorts, the Olivine Lighthouse is filled to the brim
with trainers. The first time you come, you will not be able to use the
elevator to go to the top, so you will need to take the stairs. One downside
is that it is hard to avoid trainers, so you will need to keep your Pokemon
at top health. If needed, head back to the Pokemon Center if your HP is
getting too low.
On the fourth floor, go left and fight the lass and then go left some more to
find TM87, Swagger. Once you are ready, head outside and you will be on a 3D
ledge. On the left side is a item ball with a Rare Candy in it. Head inside
once you are ready and you will be on the third floor.
On the other side of the third floor, fight the sailor to the right and get
the Ether and continue up to the ladder, and then up the next one up to the
fifth floor. Fight the sailor and continue, and then continue to the right to
the next ladder.
On the top floor, you will meet Jasmine, the Gym leader. She made a brief
cameo in D/P/Pl as well. Like in the originals, she asks you to go to Cianwood
and get the SecretPotion for the Ampharos. Once she is done, she will open the
door and allow you to take the elevator down.
Now head to the Pokemon Center and heal up. Make sure you have a Pokemon that
can surf (If not, you can catch something with your Super Rod or can catch a
Tauros on Route 38). Once you are ready, head to Route 40.

leads to a new area later on, but you can't do anything in it right now.
Use surf and start heading south. There is not much else here to do besides
capture some Tentacool and fight trainers, so keep going south until you can

A small island town with a gym, there is not much to do at this point. You can
go to the shop that is next to the Pokemon Center and get the SecretPotion for
the Lighthouse.
You can get a Shuckle from the house to the left of the Cianwood Pharmacy for
free if you talk to the guy inside. It is carrying Berry Juice with it, a
special recover item for Pokemon. Head up north and you will find your first
sighting of Suicune and it will run off. Eusine will then come up and then
challenge you to a battle

|Pokemon: |

|Info: Consider Eustine a warm up for the Cianwood Gym. Its recommended that |
| your Pokemon are at least lv 24 or so before fighting him. Drowzee is |
| his biggest pain in the ass, since it has Disable and Hypnosis. Once |
| it does put you to sleep, he will use Dream Eater. He also has |
| Confusion, so be careful. Dark, bug and ghost attacks work best, so |
| use a Pokemon that has bite or shadow ball. |
| |
| Haunter is his second Pokemon, but is pretty wimpy. It only comes with|
| Mean Look to lock you into battle, and Lick. Psychic and other Ghost |
| attacks work best against it. |
| |
| Finally, there is Electrode. He has screech to greatly lower your |
| defense, and then Thunder to finish you off. He can also use Sonicboom|
| to always hit you with 20 damage. Best Pokemon to use is a ground type|
| with ground moves, like Onix or Gravler. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat him, he will run off. There is not much else to do after that.
There is a new cave that leads to several of the new areas of HG/SS, but you
cannot access it at this point. Once you are ready, head to the Cianwood Gym.

A little different then GSC, Cianwood's gym now involves a waterfall puzzle.
Chuck is in the middle, and there are two cliffs on each side. Each cliff has
a bunch of trainers you will need to fight, and sometimes they will block your
way. If they do, you might have to leave the gym so they reset. Once you get
to the top of the left side, press the switch and the water will turn off.
Talk to Chuck and he will fight you
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Chuck |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Primeape lv 29 (Fighting) |
|Poliwrath lv 31 (Water/Fighting) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Even though Chuck may only have two Pokemon, they are both at a very |
| high level and can be a real pain in the ass if you are under-leveled.|
| Its recommended that you are at least level 26-28 or above before you |
| fight him. |
| |
| His first Pokemon is Primeape, which serves more to annoy you. It uses|
| Leer to lower your defense, and then Double Team to make it hard to |
| hit you. For attacks, it can use Rock Slide against fliers to make |
| quick work of them, and Focus Punch to do massive damage. The trick |
| to Focus Punch is he needs to not be attacked before he uses it, or |
| else it misses and he loses his turn. If he is about to use it, use |
| a attack on him. Flying attacks work best, but it might be hard to |
| hit him with Rock Slide. Ghost attacks work well for dodging his Focus|
| Punch move. |
| |
| Poliwrath, however, is his main fighter. He likes to use Hypnosis to |
| knock you out, and then use Surf, Body Slam, and Focus Punch to slowly|
| whittle down your HP. Like Primeape, use a attack before he uses focus|
| punch and you should be OK. Fortunately, you can use flying Pokemon on|
| Poliwrath with no major issues, and ghost types work well once again. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Pidgeotto at lv 26 or above, Golbat with |
| Wing Attack at lv 27 or above, Haunter at lv 25 or above, Bayleef at |
| lv 28 or above. Good attacks to use are Wing Attack, Thunder against |
| Poliwrath, Razor Leaf (Against Poliwrath). |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat him, he will give you the Storm Badge (Allows you to use fly
outside of battle and TM01, Focus Punch.
When you leave the gym, Chuck's Wife will give you HM02, Fly. Once you are
ready, fly back to Olivine City.
+============+
|Olivine City|
+============+
Now that you have the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy, head to the
lighthouse and take the elevator to the top. Give Jasmine the SecretPotion and
she will give it to the Ampharos and it will flash with light and Jasmine will
return to the gym. Take the elevator back down and head to it. Once you get
to the bottom, you will receive a phone call saying that the Safari Zone west
of Cianwood is now open.
____
//J028|_____________________________________________________________________\\
|| Olivine Gym ||
\\__________________________________________________________________________//
Not much to really do. You see a few trainers come up and talk to you, but in
a rare case they will not battle you. Head up to Jasmine and talk to her to
battle.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Jasmine |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Magnemite lv 30 (Steel/Electric) |
|Magnemite lv 30 (Steel/Electric) |
|Steelix lv 35 (Steel/Ground) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Depending on your current team, Jasmine can either be the easiest or |
| hardest Gym Leader depending on your team. Steel Pokemon are a rather |
| hard bunch to hit and have few weaknesses, so you need to have a plan.|
| Fire Pokemon are its main weakness, so if you do not have one, it is |
| recommended that you go catch a Vulpix/Growlithe on Route 36, the |
| route that is south of Ecruteak. Also, you will want to have a Ground |
| Pokemon for her two Magnemite, such as Onix or Gravler. |
| |
| First up are her two Magnemite. They are identical in level and in |
| moves, so there is not much difference. Usually, they like to use |
| Supersonic to confuse you, and then Thunder Wave to paralyze. Then |
| she will use Thunderbolt or Sonic Boom against you. The best way to |
| counter this is to have a ground Pokemon, like the ones mentioned |
| above and have them use moves like Magnitude. Fire also works well |
| against her, so Quilava/Flareon/Vulpix/Growlithe are all good ones |
| to look at. |
| |
| Finally, there is her Steelix, which is her worst Pokemon. Not only |
| does it have high defense, but it is at a very high level at lv 35. |
| It usually likes to use screech to lower your defense, and then use |
| Sandstorm to damage any non steel/rock/ground Pokemon, and after that |

| use Iron Tail and Rock Throw over and over. Your best bet is a fire |
| or water Pokemon, since his defense is too high to take advantage of |
| his fighting or ground weakness. Surf works extremely well, so the |
| starters Croconaw and Quilava are both good ones to use. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Onix/Gravler at lv 30, Quilava/Vulpix/ |
| Growlithe at lv 30, Croconaw (For Steelix) at lv 30. Any Pokemon with |
| Magnitude for the Magnemite, and any Pokemon with Surf or fire moves |
| for Steelix. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat her, you will get the Mineral Badge, which allows you to use
Pokemon up to lv 70. She also gives you TM23, Iron Tail.
Now that you have the Mineral Badge, head back to Ecruteak and head east to
Route 42.

Like before, there is not too much you can do at the moment in Mt. Mortar,
so lets skip it for now. Your real goal is to swim east over to the other
side. Once you swim over to the middle isle, you will see a tree that can
be cut down, some Apricorns, and Suicune. As soon as you cut it down, Suicune
will escape and Eustine will come talk to you and leave. Once you are ready,
keep swimming east and you will find some grass and a few trainers. There
are a few new things you can capture, such as Spearow in all versions and
Mankey in HeartGold. Keep going east and you will eventually reach Mahogany
Town.

* Note that you can only buy the above once you clear the Goldenrod Radio

A rather small Town, there is not much you can do at this point. The strange
shop above the gym is selling TinyMushrooms for 500p, Pokeballs for 200p, and
Potions for 300p. Considering how far you are, most of those items are fairly
low level. Also notice the weird tree to the right of the shop, that becomes
important later.
You also cannot enter the gym at this point, so leave that alone for now. If
you try to leave east, a man will offer to sell you a RageCandyBar for 300p.
The main difference is instead of being a item that restores health, it is
now a key item that you use much later in the game. You won't be able to go
east for some time, so the only way to go is North to route 43.

A rather long route. You can either go through the tall grass at the
beginning, or be forced to pay a 1000p toll if you go through the gatehouse.
This is a good place for EXP, not only from the massive amount of trainers
here, but the wild Pokemon. You can now capture a Girafarig, a normal/psychic
Hybrid that has resistance to ghost attacks, and Venonat, a Bug/Poison
Pokemon.
Keep going north until you hit the Lake of Rage.

\_____________________________________________________/
When you get to the Lake of Rage, you will find that it is raining rather
hard, and there are several people at the shore looking out towards the lake.
You will then see a moving Red Gyarados in the water. Use surf and head to
where it is at and battle it.
The Red Gyarados is unique, since it is one of the few encounters that will
always be Shiny. It is at a rather respectable lv 30 and will use its special
Intimidate ability when you first encounter it. It knows Leer, Twister, and
Dragon Rage, so be careful. You will want to bring some Great Balls, and want
to lower it as low as possible. Even though it is raining, be careful about
using Thunder, since it can knock it out almost immediately due to its dual
Water/Flying types.
Once you do beat the Red Gyarados, you will get the Red Scale, a item you
can trade with Mr. Pokemon north of Cherrygrove for a EXP Share. Head back to
shore and you will see a familiar man with a Dragonite looking at a sign. He
is Lance, the Elite Four member from Red/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen. He
will mention that the Magikarp of this lake were forced to evolve, and there
should be something in Mahogany that is causing it. He will then fly off
toward the weird shop in Mahogany. You can either follow him, or make a quick
stop at Cherrygrove and get the EXP Share, since it will be useful for
the battles ahead.

Head back to Mahogany and head to the shop. You will see Lance tearing the
place apart looking for the entrance switch. He will then find it under the
big statue. Once you are ready, head under to the Rockets Hideout.
____
//J033|_____________________________________________________________________\\
|| Rocket Hideout ||
\\__________________________________________________________________________//
______
|B1 |
______________________________________________________________________________
One thing you will notice as soon as you enter is the giant Persian statues
on the walls. You have no choice but to walk in front of the first one,
which triggers two rocket grunts. The first one has a lv 17 Drowsee and the
Second will have a lv 16 Zubat and a Rattata at lv 18. There are a bunch more
on this floor and each will activate a Rocket Grunts. You can turn them off,
however. Follow the path west a little bit until you can go down, and then
head down until you find a scientist near a PC. Battle him (He has three lv
20 Magnemite), and Press A on the PC he was near to turn off the statues.
There are two possible paths to the stairs going down: you can either go east
and then down and then right to find a teleporter (Teleporter sends you back
to the beginning), and the stairs going down. The second way is to re-trace
your steps back to where the Persian statues are, and then go west until you
find a Rocket Grunt. Beat the grunt and then go down. You will then notice
a interesting new trap: Various wild Pokemon now appear on certain floors.
You can find either Voltorb, Geodude, or Koffing. You can either run, beat
them, or capture them.
Once you are on the other side of the traps, you will find the same teleport
and stairs mentioned earlier. Go down to B2.
______________________________________________________________________________
______
|B2 |
______________________________________________________________________________
When you head downstairs, you will find Lance who will then heal your Pokemon.
There is not much you can do on this floor for now: The door to the generator
is shut for now, and there are a few grunts on this floor. Keep going right
until you find the stairs for B3.
______________________________________________________________________________
______
|B3 |
______________________________________________________________________________
When you first enter B3, Lance will just get done interrogating a Rocket
Grunt, who gives him the first part of the password for a door that is needed
later on. You will need to find the second code, which is on the same floor.
In the big computer room in the center, fight the female rocket grunt (She has
a lv 18 Ekans and a lv 18 Gloom). When you beat her, she will give you the
second code
Before continuing, lets get some of the items in this room. There is a item
ball on the left side of the center room that has TM 49 (Snatch). The
right side of the center room has a Full Heal. Going to the lower left corner
of the room has a scientist and a rocket grunt as well as a X Special and
Protein.
Once you are ready, go to the upper right corner to find the staircase going
up a alternate route on B2.
______________________________________________________________________________
________________
|B2 Alt Route |
______________________________________________________________________________
For now, keep going left and you will eventually have to fight a rocket grunt.
He has a 3 lv 17 Rattata. Head down the stairs to end up on a alternate part
of B3. There is another staircase further down that leads to a room with TM46.
Once you are ready, head east toward the door. When you get close, your Rival
will appear and mention that he battled with Lance and lost pretty badly. He
then runs off without fighting you. If your rival did not come up to you, that
means that you do not have both codes.

Once you are ready, press A on the door and it will open. The man inside
presents himself as Giovanni, but in reality he is Petrel, a Team Rocket
Executive. He will then fight you
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Team Rocket Executive Petrel |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 22 (Poison/Flying) |
|Koffing lv 22 (Poison) |
|Raticate lv 24 (Normal) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Petrel is only slightly more tougher then your average Rocket Grunt, |
| so he should not be too much of a problem. His Zubat has Astonish, |
| Bite, Wing Attack, and Confuse Ray, so use a Pokemon with Thunder or |
| Ice attacks against him (If you got Blizzard from the Goldenrod |
| Department Store, that works well). Psychic Pokemon might want to be |
| careful because of Astonish and Bite. |
| |
| His Koffing can be annoying, since it has Smog, Smokescreen, Assurance|
| and Selfdestruct. Assurance can be very powerful if your Pokemon is |
| too fast, since it does double damage if Koffing was attacked that |
| turn. It likes to use Selfdestruct when it gets close to dying, so |
| finish it off quickly. Its levitate means that ground type attacks do |
| not work well on it, so Psychic moves are the best. |
| |
| Finally, there is Raticate. It has Hyper Fang, Sucker Punch, Scary |
| Face, and Crunch. Hyper Fang can be deadly against lower level Pokemon|
| so be careful. Fighting moves work best, although be careful about |
| using Ghost Pokemon, since Crunch and Sucker Punch are both dark type |
| moves. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat him, he will run off, and his Murkrow will talk to you and then
run off as well. You now have to tail the Murkrow back to the door on B3 that
was locked earlier. Once you do, it will say the password and then run off.
As soon as you do this, Rocket Admin Arianna and a Grunt will show up to
challenge you, but Lance will show up as well and aid you in a double battle.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Rocket Executive Arianna and Rocket Grunt |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Arbok lv 25 (Poison) |
|Gloom lv 25 (Poison/Grass) |
|Murkrow lv 27 (Dark/Flying) |
|Drowzee lv 18 (Psychic) |
|Grimer lv 20 (Poison) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: A rather interesting battle. Arianna has rather high level Pokemon, |
| but Lance is about twice as strong as you currently are, having a lv |
| 40 Dragonite that can wipe out most of Arianna's and the Grunt's |
| teams. For the most part, you can just sit back and let Lance do most |
| of the work while you get the EXP. Only downside is the Dragonite |
| likes to use Fly most of the time, so it takes two turns to use. It |
| will also occasionally use Thunder as well. |
| |
| As for the Pokemon, her Arbok has Glare, Crunch, Wrap and Poison |
| Sting. The only one that might cause trouble is Glare, which paralyzes|
| you. Gloom has Sweet Scent, Mega Drain, Acid, and Sleep Powder, so it |
| likes to put you to sleep most of the time. Murkow has Night Shade, |
| Wing Attack, Astonish and Pursuit. A good ground Pokemon like Gravler |
| or Onix can take out Arbok and Gloom (Although be careful of Gloom |
| and her grass moves). A flyer can also work well on Gloom as well. |
| Murkrow can be taken out with electric or ice attacks. |
| |
| As for the grunt, he is more for support. His Drowsee has Disable, |
| Confusion, Headbutt, and Poison Gas, while his Grimer has Mud-Slap, |
| Disable, Minimize, and Sludge. They like to use Disable a lot, so |
| don't be surprised if you have to use other moves most of the time. |
| Sludge and Poison Gas also Poison, so be careful of that. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
After you beat them, Arianna and the rest of the grunts then abandon the base.
Lance then tells you that you have to destroy the generator by knocking out
the Electrode that are powering it.
The Electrode are all at lv 23, and can either be knocked out or caught. If
you run from battle, they will still be there. Once you knock out or capture
them, Lance will thank you and give you HM05, Whirlpool, as a reward. He will
then mention his battle with your Rival, and then walk off.
Once you head outside, you will see that the weird tree has been damages and
now shows the remains of a broken Transmitter. Head to the Pokemon Center and
heal, and then head to the gym.

\___________________________/
While similar to his old Gym, Pryce's layout is now sectioned off into three
different rooms. Fortunately, it is not as hard as the Snowpoint Gym, so you
should not have as much trouble against him.
Anywho, as far as the puzzles go, it involves sliding ice. Similar to the
Snowpoint gym in that you have to slide in a particular direction to get to
your destination. The trick is the ice blocks, which you usually have to press
together to make it solid enough to hold you. For your convenience, here is
the solutions for each room
Room 1:
-Go up on the ice and slide until the ice block slides up against the second
one. From there, go left, up, and then right and then head up and go through
the door.
Room 2:
-There are two trainers, you have to fight the one on the left to continue,
but you can avoid the right one as long as you do not mess up the puzzle.
Go to the left, fight the trainer, and then line yourself up with the ice
block and slide into it. Once you are stopped, go up and through the door.
-In the third room, go to the left and fight the trainer and then line
yourself up with the ice block and slide into it. Go up, fight the trainer,
then go right, left, up, right, up, right, up and fight the trainer, left,
and then up.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Pryce |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Seel lv 30 (Water) |
|Dewgong lv 32 (Water/Ice) |
|Piloswine lv 34 (Ice/Ground) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Pryce has not changed much from his GSC days, only being about 3 |
| higher then his old team. His moves have not changed much either, |
| although his Pokemon no longer all have Icy Wind as a main attack. |
| |
| Anywho, his Seel has Icy Wind, Rest, Snore, and Hail. Icy Wind lowers |
| your speed each time it hits, so be careful not to have it lowered too|
| much. He will use Rest when Seel gets low on HP, and then Snore to |
| damage you while sleeping. Snore also has a high chance of flinching, |
| so be careful. Hail lasts several turns and hits any Pokemon that is |
| not a Ice type Pokemon, so it will hit Seel as well. Electric Pokemon |
| work best here. |
| |
| Dewgong is similar to Seel, but has much stronger moves. it has Rest, |
| Sleep Talk, Aurora Beam, and Ice Shard. Auora Beam and Ice Shard are |
| both strong Ice Type attacks, while Sleep Talk allows it to use one |
| of those two moves while the user is asleep. Once again, Electric |
| attacks work well against Pryce, but Fighting can also cause some |
| serious damage. |
| |
| Finally, there is Piloswine, the powerhouse of his team. It is holding|
| a Sitrus Berry, which will restore 25% of its HP when it gets low. |
| Its moves include Blizzard, Ice Fang, Mud Bomb, and Hail. All are very|
| powerful moves, and can be hard to take down if your Pokemon are |
| underleveled. Piloswine is weak to fighting, steel, fire, water, and |
| grass moves, so moves such as Surf, Mega Drain, Iron Tail, any |
| fighting moves, and Fire Blast are all good ones. Be careful about |
| using Fire and Grass types, since they are weak to his attack. |
| |
| It is recommended that your Pokemon are at least lv 30 and that some |
| of them know Thunder, Surf, and fighting moves. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat Pryce he will give Glacier Badge and TM07 (Hail). You can also
use Whirlpool outside of battle now, so the HM Lance gave you earlier will
work.
Once you head outside, you will get a phone call saying Goldenrod has been
taken over. Go to the Pokemon Center and heal, and then fly over there.
____
//J035|_____________________________________________________________________\\
|| Radio Tower ||
\\__________________________________________________________________________//
When you get to Goldenrod, you will find that most of the places are sealed
off by Rocket Grunts, and if you try to go to the Radio Tower one of the
Rocket Grunts will be blocking the stairs. In order to get to the upper
floors of the Radio Tower, you will need to dress like a Grunt. Head to the
underground from the Game Corner and go right, and you will find a Rocket
that will dress you up in a uniform.
Head back to the Radio Tower and talk to the grunt that is near the stairs.
He will then move, but your rival will come and reveal who you really are.
After that, the grunt will fight you: He has two lv 24 Raticates, so it
should be pretty easy. Once you beat him, the grunt will run upstairs and
your rival will run off. Make sure your Pokemon are all healed up and then
head up the Radio Tower.
______
|2F |
______________________________________________________________________________
You will find a bunch of rocket grunts here. If you are still underleveled,
then you may want to fight them. Otherwise, continue on to the third floor
______________________________________________________________________________
______
|3F |
______________________________________________________________________________
Several more grunts to fight for EXP. If you go to the right, you will find
a set of shutters that does now allow you to continue up. Instead, go up the
stairs on the right to the 4th Floor.
______________________________________________________________________________
______
|4F |
______________________________________________________________________________
Not much to do on this Floor as well. There is a female Rocket grunt looking
out the window at Executive Proton, but that is about it. You can fight
her for the EXP, although it is not required. Once you are ready, head up the
stairs on the left side of the room.

______________________________________________________________________________
______
|5F |
______________________________________________________________________________
On the 5th Floor, you will find a man that looks like the Radio Tower Manager,
but in reality he is Petrel, the same man who dressed up earlier as Giovanni.
Save before you talk to him, since he will fight you.

| have Sludge, Smokescreen, and Selfdestruct for when your HP gets low. |
| Best way to take them out is to use a Psychic move, such as Confusion |
| or Psybeam, or even Psychic if you have it. Weezing is similar to the |
| Koffing, but a little tougher. Watch out if any of the Koffing use |
| selfdestruct, since it will greatly damage your Pokemon. You may want |
| to bring a few potions and revives just in case. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat Petrel, he will give you the Basement Key for the area of the
underground that is locked. Head back to the bottom of the Radio Tower, heal
your Pokemon, and head to the underground. When you head right, you will
find one of the Kimono sisters and she will talk to you. After she leaves,
keep going right and use the Basement Key on the shutters to open it.

|| Underground Basement ||
\\__________________________________________________________________________//
When you first enter the area, you will see several team rocket grunts. Try
to go to the left, however, and your Rival will show up and fight you.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Rival |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Golbat lv 32 (Flying/Poison) |
|Magnemite lv 30 (Electric/Steel) |
|Sneasel lv 34 (Dark/Ice) |
|Quilava lv 34 (Fire) *If you choose Chikorita |
|Meganium lv 34 (Grass) *If you choose Totodile |
|Feraligatr lv 34 (Water) *If you choose Cyndaquil |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Its been awhile since you last fought your rival, so this might be a |
| good chance to test your skills. His Pokemon are 30-34, so your |
| should be around or above that range, lowest you should have is lv 28.|
| Interesting enough though, he will have a Feraligatr if you have |
| chosen a Quilava, whereas choosing anything else will only have him |
| using the first evolution of his starter and not the final one. |
| |
| First up is Haunter, which has Curse, Mean Look, Confuse Ray, and |
| Shadow Ball. Similar to Morty's you will want to switch out if he |
| uses Curse, although it might be hard if you use Mean Look. Confuse |
| Ray can be a gigantic pain in the ass, and Shadow Ball is always a |
| tough move against your Pokemon. Normal Pokemon with Psychic or |
| Ghost moves work well, as well as dark attacks such as bite. |
| |
| Second is Golbat, who has Air Cutter, Confuse Ray, Bite, and Astonish.|
| It has flying, dark, and ghost attacks, so be careful of using grass |
| psychic, ghost, or fighting Pokemon. Psychic or rock moves take it |
| down real quick. |
| |
| Magnemite is his lowest level Pokemon, and it has Spark, Supersonic, |
| Sonicboom, and Thunderwave. Similar to his other two Pokemon, he can |
| confuse you with Supersonic. SonicBoom always does 20 damage, and |

| Spark is a electric move. Fire, ground, and fighting attacks are super|
| effective against it. |
| |
| Sneasel is his newest Pokemon, one you might have found out about |
| earlier if you got the Shuckle from the man in Cianwood. Its attacks |
| include Faint Attack, Quick Attack, Fury Swipes, and Icy Wind. All of |
| the attacks are Psychical attacks, so a Pokemon with high defense will|
| work fine. Icy Wind is a special attack, but it will not do as much |
| because of Sneasel's low special attack. |
| |
| Finally, there is his starters. Quilava goes down with ground and |
| water attacks like surf, Bayleef goes down with Ice, fire, and flying |
| moves, and Feraligatr goes down with electric and grass attacks. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
After you beat your rival, he will mention Lance and then leaves. Anywho, now
that you have taken care of your rival there are two grunts in the room that
you have to beat. After that, go down and then left, and then in the lower
left corner you will find a item ball with a Smoke Ball item (If you attach it
to one of your Pokemon, it allows you to escape from wild battles easier).
There is also a few bandits in this area, usually with more fire Pokemon like
Growlithe and Poison Pokemon like Koffing.
Your main goal for this room is to get to the center switch room. There are
three levers on the north wall: A red switch, a green switch, and a blue
switch. In order to get to the next area, you will need to press the Red
switch first, then the blue one, and then the green. Once you have done all of
that, head to the right shutter and then go down. When you are near the door,
you will face a Rocket Grunt with two Glooms. Beat her and continue through
the door.
In the next room, you will find that the path is rather straightforward. Along
the way, you will find a Ultra Ball, Max Ether, and TM82 (Sleep Talk) in
itemballs. Once you get to the end of the path and fight all the Rocket
Grunts, you will find the real Radio Tower Manager. Talk to him and he will
give you a Keycard to the closed shutter on the 3rd Floor of the Radio Tower.
Head up the stairs on your right and you will find a item ball with a Amulet
Coin, a item that will double your money earned when you attach it to one of
your Pokemon and that Pokemon fights. You will find that there are several
Machoke and boxes blocking your way to several of the other items, so take
the elevator up to the first floor of the Goldenrod Department Store. Heal
your Pokemon at the Pokemon Center, and go back to the Radio Tower.
____
//J037|_____________________________________________________________________\\
|| Radio Tower Redux ||
\\__________________________________________________________________________//
Now that you are back in the Radio Tower, head back to the 3rd Floor. If you
have not, fight any grunts you have not fought yet for the EXP, since you will
need all the levels you can get. Open the shutters on the third floor and
fight the rocket that is guarding the stairs. Head up and you will find
Executive Proton, ready to fight you again.

/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Rocket Executive Proton |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Golbat lv 28 (Poison/Flying) |
|Weezing lv 33 (Poison) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: If you had no trouble against your rival and Petrel, then Proton will |
| be a cakewalk. Golbat has Wing Attack, Confuse Ray, Leech Life, and |
| Bite, all very standard for a Golbat. Weezing has Sludge, Double Hit, |
| Smokescreen and Smog. Both are very weak against psychic attacks, so |
| Psybeam or Confusion work well. Golbat is also weak against Ice and |
| Rock moves. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you do beat him, there is a item ball with a Ultra Ball that is right
next to him. Head up the stairs and you will find Arianna, who will also have
a rematch with you.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Rocket Executive Arianna |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Arbok lv 32 (Poison) |
|Vileplume lv 32 (Grass/Poison) |
|Murkrow lv 32 (Dark/Flying) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: This will be the first and last time you face Arianna outside of a |
| double battle, so it will be a interesting one. Her Pokemon have |
| leveled up about 5-7 levels since the Mahogany Town Rocket Hideout, so|
| yours should be around lv 30 or so. |
| |
| First, her Arbok has Glare, Crunch, Wrap, and Poison Sting. All are |
| fairly weak attacks, although glare can be annoying since it paralyzes|
| you. Psychic and Ground attacks will knock it out quickly. |
| |
| Next up is Vileplume, her strongest Pokemon. It has Sweet Scent, Acid,|
| Mega Drain, and Sleep Powder. Sweet Scent makes it so your Pokemon |
| are easier to it, and Sleep Powder is a annoying move that puts your |
| Pokemon to sleep for a few turns (Unless you are still Paralyzed from |
| Arbok). Mega Drain is her strongest attack, and will recover some of |
| her HP. Flying, Psychic, Fire, and Ice moves are all the best ones |
| to use. |
| |
| Finally, there is Murkrow. It has Night Shade, Wing Attack, Astonish, |
| and Pursuit. Nothing special here, ice, electric, and rock moves are |
| all very effective against it. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
If your Pokemon are low on health, you might want to head back to the Pokemon
Center real quick and heal up. Once you are ready, take the elevator up to the
top floor of the Radio Tower. Head around to the north side to find a guy
standing there. His name is Archer and he is the current leader of Team
Rocket. After talking to him and learning his true motives for attacking the
radio tower, he will fight you.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Rocket Executive Archer |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Houndour lv 35 (Dark/Fire) |
|Houndoom lv 38 (Dark/Fire) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: The new Big Boss of Team Rocket, this is also the first and last time |
| you will fight Archer. His team is lv 35-38, so you will want your |
| Pokemon to be no lower then 33 or so. Unlike the other few executives,|
| his Pokemon have a few more powerful attacks then normal, so it will |
| be a little different. |
| |
| His Houndour has Faint Attack, Fire Fang, Crunch, and Roar. Fire Fang |
| and Crunch are both very powerful moves, so make sure your Pokemon has|
| a high defense. Roar can drag out another Pokemon, so switch them out |
| if he drags out a Pokemon with low defense or a psychic/ghost/grass/ |
| ice Pokemon. Houndour is weak against Fighting, Ground, Rock, and |
| Water attacks, so moves like Rock Throw, Magnitude, and Surf are all |
| good ones to use. |
| |
| Next up is Koffing. It has Sludge, Smokescreen, Tackle, and Haze. Haze|
| is the only unique move that resets any positive or negative status |
| increases or decreases you or Koffing might have gained. This acts as |
| sort of a double edged sword, since any uses of Smokescreen can be |
| negated because of this. Otherwise, use the same strategy you have |
| used against Koffing in the past. |
| |
| Finally, there is Houndoom, which while being a more powerful and |
| higher level version of Houndour, actually has worse attacks. It has |
| Faint Attack, Fire Fang, Bite, and Smog. Take it out with the same |
| moves you used against Houndour. |
\____________________________________________________________________________/
Once you beat him, he will disband team rocket once more and all the grunts
will leave the Radio Tower. The manager of the radio tower will come in and
thank you and give you the Rainbow or Silver Wing, depending on what version
you have.
There are a couple of things you can do while you are in the Radio Tower. If
you talk to the woman that was near the closed shutters on the 3rd floor, she
will give you TM11 (Sunny Day). If you head up on the 4th Floor where the
Radio Booth is and talk to DJ Mary, she will give you the Brightpowder hold
item. Also, you can get the Blue Card for the Radio Show Quiz on the second
floor from the girl at the radio booth.
Anywho, even though you have the Rainbow or Silver Wing, you cannot get Lugia
or Ho-Oh yet, not until you beat the last gym leader. Fly back to Mahogany
Town and you will find that things have, for the most part, gone back to
normal. The shop where the Rocket Hideout was is now selling normal items, and
you can now head East onto Route 44.

There is a bunch of trainers on this route, all good for EXP. You will also
notice that there is not as much grass on this route, so it might be hard
to find some of the Pokemon listed above. There are two paths on this route:
A upper route and a lower route. The lower route has more trainer, while the
upper has less. Head east and then head up the stairs to the Ice Path.

Similar to Pryce's Gym, but is a little straightforward for the first few ice
parts. When you get to the big ice puzzle, go these directions:
- Up, left, up, left, down, left, up, right.
Once you are past that puzzle, you will find another ice puzzle you must
go through. This time, it is for HM07, Waterfall. To get through that puzzle,
the solution is:
- Right, down, left, up, left, down, left, up, right
Once you are done, head up the stairs and to the right to find a ladder
leading down.

Second room has a boulder puzzle. Going counterclockwise:
- First boulder you press up until you cannot press it anymore, and then go
around right until you are on top of the boulder and press it to the right
and then down into the hole.
- Second hole should have it down one, and then over left until it is near
the hole and then go above it and press down and then right into the hole.
- Third hole, you go to the right and find a boulder above a small ice path
and push it to the left and then down until you cannot press it anymore,
and then press it right, and then down three times, and then go around it
and press it up once, and then press it left until it goes into the hole.
- Fourth Hole, you press the boulder up twice, and then right once, and then
up twice, then you go around on the other side and you press it to the right
twice then head around and press it up, and then to the left until it is in
the hole.
After that, go down the ladder near the last hole to B2.

Line up where the boulder is on the left and go left, then down, then left,
and then up, then right. There is a item ball with a full heal at the end.
After that, head down up the ladder, and then left and push the boulder up.
You will be back up on 1F. You will see one of the Kimono girls stuck. Go
down and then right ad give her a push and she will thank you and leave.
After that, head down and you will be in Blackthorn City.

Ah, Blackthorn City. There is not much you can do at this point. There is a
house near the Pokemart which has the Move Deleter, the Move Re learner (Still
requires a Heart Scale), Grandma Wilma who will teach your Pokemon Draco
Meteor if they are the Dragon type, and a man who will teach your starters
Frenzy Plant, Hydro Cannon, and Blast Burn if they like you enough.
There is also a guy in a house that will trade you a Dodrio for a female
Dragonair, which is a bit of a ripoff, but still a option if you want one for
your Pokedex.
There is also a house near the Ice Cave that has a woman inside that will
give your top Pokemon a Effort Ribbon if its EVs are all maxed out.
You can also go south to Route 45, but make sure you bring a Pokemon that can
fly. It is good EXP, and has a few rare Pokemon.
For now, lets go explore Route 45 and see what it has.

Route 45 is rather different then you remember it. Taking full advantage of
the D/P/Pl engine for terrain, the place is now full of various cliffs and
water passages. You will also find several unique Pokemon to your version.
HG users will find Gligar and Phanpy, while SS users will get Teddiursa and
Skamory. There is also a bunch of trainers on this route, so it might be a
good idea to raise your levels a little bit for the upcoming Gym. Keep going
down to find Route 46.

Now that you are on the other side of Route 46, you will find a few new
trainers to battle. They are fairly low level however, so you will have no
trouble with them. You can also access the other side of the Dark Cave from
this side, and find a climbable rock wall that you won't be able to access
until much later in the game. If you keep going south, you will end up in
the part of Route 46 that was in the beginning of the game. The Pokemon on
this route are the same Pokemon from earlier in the game, so there is no
difference.
Once you are ready, head back to Blackthorn City via flying and and go north
to the gym.

OK, here is how it works: There is a platform you must go on. The middle one
switches the direction around when it is not connected to anything, and the
two arrows make it move in that direction. For the first one, you will want
to flip it up right and then press the right arrow. On the pathway, there
are several trainers you must fight.
On the second one, you have to twist it around until its non-ledge end is on
the right. You can use the middle portion to change the direction the arrows
will go, and then slide it around in the right way.
Once you get past the final one, you will find the Gym Leader, Clair.
/____________________________________________________________________________\
|Boss: Clair |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Pokemon: |
|Gyarados lv 38 (Water/Flying) |
|Kingdra lv 41 (Water/Dragon) |
|____________________________________________________________________________|
|Info: Ah Clair...She is many things: The last Gym Leader in Johto, the last |
| Badge before you have full access to lv 100 Pokemon, and so on. She is|
| also one of the only Gym Leaders that has a team change from GSC (Her |
| third Dragonair is replaced with a Gyarados). Because of that, she is |
| not as weak to Ice attacks like she once was, but now has a Pokemon |
| that is weak to Electric and one that is weak to Dragon attacks. |
| |
| The first Pokemon are her two Dragonairs. They are both similar in |
| level, and both have Dragon Pulse, Thunder Wave, and Slam. The only |
| difference is one has Fire Blast and the other has Aqua Tail. Dragon |
| Pulse is a very strong Dragon move with 90 base damage. Thunder Wave |
| Paralyzes your Pokemon, and Fire Blast and Aqua Tail are both very |
| strong Fire and Water attacks respectively. Ice attacks are your best |
| friend in this battle, since it is the only thing the two Dragonair |
| are weak to. A Ice Pokemon caught from the Ice Path or the TM you got |
| from Pryce are both good to use against them. |
| |
| Next up is old favorite Gyarados. It has Dragon Rage, Twister, Bite, |
| and Dragon Pulse. Dragon Rage always takes off 40HP every time it is |
| used, no more or no less. Twister is a somewhat weak dragon type move,|
| but does more if the Pokemon is using Fly or Bounce. Gyarados is 4x |
| weak to electric attacks, so Thunderbolt or Thunder are both very good|
| moves to use. |
| |
| Finally, there is Kingdra. It is her highest level Pokemon at lv 41 |
| and is holding a Sitrus Berry. As for attacks, it knows Hydro Pump, |
| Dragon Pulse, Hyper Beam, and Smokescreen. Kingdra is a tough Pokemon |
| to beat since its only weakness is Dragon attacks. If you bought a |
| Dratini earlier from the Goldenrod Game Corner and it knows Dragon |
| attacks, use those. Otherwise, use your strongest Pokemon against it.

September 09, 2009: Beginning of Bare-bones Guide

September 10 - October 5, 2009: Writing the Johto Guide

the way, the guide is now up to version 3.00! We have made

several changes to the guide that should bring this guide

up to speed for the English release in March.

* Thanks to serebii.net, various names of the English

rival's names, team rocket executives, various item

names, and a few locations that were not in the original

GSC. They have been changed in this version of the guide

to reflect the English version of the game.

The Poketholon has been changed to Pokeathlon, and the

Technique stat is now the Skill stat. The Pokedex section

has been edited to reflect these changes.

* Added the Kanto guide up to the Viridian Gym

* Pokeathlon stats and Move Tutor info up to the Sinnoh Dex

have been added

* Japanese/English changes added to the Changes FAQ

If anything has been changed from what serebii says, or any

new info is revealed, I will add it to the guide. If you

see anything that references the Japanese version, then let

As far as the next update goes, I will try to get the

Updated Pokemon League, Cerulean Cave, and Mt. Silver and

the final battle in before or around the release of HGSS

United States! Here is a update to help finish up a bunch

* Added the Endgame Guide section. This covers the rematch

against the former Champion.

* Added the Battle Frontier guide from my Platinum guide,

and corrected it for HGSS.

* Added a variety of Legendary areas, including two of the

Legendary Birds, and Suicune.
