Go up the stairs and grab a Potion in the upper left part of the ledge before entering the lab.
Enter Oak's Lab. The machine in the middle of the room will heal your party. Go up to the 2nd floor and talk to
Professor Oak. He tells you that all the Pokémon have been taken except for one, your ICONIC Pikachu.
Take the Pokeball with the ICONIC Pikachu, though he won't be spending much time in the Pokeball from now
on. Grab Pikachu off the table. Upon doing so, you'll get your first outfit. Grab the Pokedex and the five Pokeballs
on your way out.
If you go to the house to the right of the house you first came out of, you can talk to the girl to get a Town Map,
which currently only has maps until the Alola Region. Leave Pallet Town to the west, where you'll find your mom
waiting for you. She'll give you the Running Shoes and wish you luck on your journey.
ROUTE 1:
Wild Pokémon (a * before name means that this is your first chance to get that Pokémon. I will only put them next
to unevolved Pokémon): *Pidgey, *Spearow, *Rattata, *Poliwag, *Sandshrew, *Mankey. Usual level 2-5.
Ho-oh also appears here, but it has a 1% encounter rate AND it is level 50. You should wait to grow stronger
before attempting to catch it, but it's technically possible even now.
Talk to the second person you see to get a Super Potion. There is also a Rare Candy hidden in a bush on the
right side of the route across the bridge.
VIRIDIAN CITY:
Go to the west, then north to get a Pokeball. Guarding the Pokéball is a Move Tutor who can teach your
Pokémon the move Snore. Note that the item behind the Gym can't be obtained at this time.
SE of the Pokémon Centre is a guy who will tell you about how trade evolutions work in Fire Ash.
Team Rocket (will be abbreviated TR from now on) is in the Pokémon Centre. You must defeat them to unlock
the north exit from the city.
ICONIC BATTLE
TR Jessie and James
Ekans LV 4
Koffing LV 4
The path west (Route 22) is blocked until you get 8 badges, so go north.
VIRIDIAN FOREST:
Wild Pokémon: *Caterpie, *Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Spearow, rarely Fearow. Usual level 3-
5.
Upon entering, head left to find an ICONIC LV 4 Caterpie. It's the first of the many ICONIC Pokémon that you'll
receive as a gift during your travels. From there, head east then north to find an ICONIC LV 7 Pidgeotto.
There are 4 trainers in the Forest.

Items:
Antidote: In tall grass in SW part of the forest.
Pokeball: Hidden in the NW corner of the glade when you enter the forest (almost directly NW from your starting
position, in the corner). The way to pick hidden items in this game might be worth mentioning here. You must step
next to the target tile, turn towards the target tile, and press the action button.
Antidote: In tall grass in the SE part of the forest.
Potion: In the NW part of the forest.
Exit north.
PEWTER CITY:
Immediately go around the trees on your right and back south to Route 2 to grab TM54 (False Swipe).
Towards the top of the city you'll find the Pewter Museum of Science. It has two Fossil Revivers who can revive
fossils for you. Outside, you’ll also find a move tutor for Iron Defence.
In the NW corner of the city, there's a Pokeball hidden on the 2nd tile from the top. Note that there is a slight
discoloration in the tile. Many hidden items have similar tile discolorations.
ICONIC BATTLE
GYM LEADER BROCK (2v2)
Geodude LV 8
Onix LV 9
Having a Butterfree makes the gym battle much easier - it's pretty strong, and despite its 4 times weakness to
rock type attacks, Brock's team has none of those yet.
Defeating Brock gets you a Boulder Badge and TM80 (Rock Slide).
As an alternative to using Fly, Fire Ash uses a system where you can teleport to places you have been to,
provided that there's a Pokémon Centre there and that certain conditions have been fulfilled, e.g. defeating the
gym leader of the place. For now, you can teleport from Pewter City to Viridian City, which marks the start of the
Kanto Teleport System (since Brock was defeated).
If you go inside the house in the NW part of the city, you will find Brock's younger siblings. In the NW corner is the
eldest sibling, Forrest. Talk to him to obtain TM37 (Sandstorm).
You now have 1 badge, which means that Pokemarts expand their inventory. Their inventory now is:
Poke Ball - 200
Great Ball - 600
Potion - 300
Super Potion - 700
Antidote - 100
Paralyze Heal - 200
Awakening - 250
Burn Heal - 250
Ice Heal - 250
Escape Rope - 550
Repel - 350
Also, you can go back to your room and there’ll be two drawers (which I’ll now refer to as “Cap Drawers”) on the
right side of the room. If you interact with the left one you can now put the “Original Cap” on Pikachu.
ROUTE 3:
Wild Pokémon: Pidgey, Spearow, *Jigglypuff, *Nidoran♂, *Nidoran♀, Mankey, rarely *Ekans. Usual level 3-8.
This is your first chance to obtain Ekans, however it only has a 1% encounter rate. There will be better chances
later if you don't want to spend a lot of time searching for it now.

entrance and the boulder and face north.
MT. MOON:
Wild Pokémon: *Zubat, *Clefairy, Clefable, and *Paras appear on both floors. *Geodude appears only on the
upper floor, while Sandshrew only appears on the lower floor. Usual level is 5-10.
Then take the ladder down; you'll get to an enclosed chamber with a trainer and two items: An Antidote to the left
and a Revive to the right.
Hiker Marcus
Onix LV 12
On the upper floor, go north and east from the ladder. The correct route is north and west, but explore the SE part
of the floor for some goodies: there are 2 trainers in this section (one on the left, one on the right) and 2 items:
TM46 (Thief) on the left and a hidden Ether; there is a formation of 3 rocks in the SE corner of the floor; the Ether
is in the middle rock.
Super Nerd Jovan

Turn the corner to head south and find another ladder leading down to a room. Before heading down, grab the
Revive in the SW corner of this room. Take the ladder.
From where you appear on the lower floor, go north. There are three rocks in the northern part of this room; the
one on the right hides a Moon Stone.
After him you'll come to two sets of stairs. The stairs on the left lead to a guy who gives you TM08 (Bulk Up).
There is an Escape Rope north of him. The stairs on the right lead you around the floor, past 2 other trainers, to
the ladder up.
Lass Miriam
Oddish LV 11
Bellsprout LV 11
There is a hiker by the exit, but you don't battle him. Before you take the ladder out, there is another Ether,
hidden in an empty spot in the middle of the NW rock formation.
Once you take the ladder, go west and exit the cave.
ROUTE 4:
Nothing to do here right now. Exit east.
CERULEAN CITY:
Weather forecast: Very rarely Stormy
Talk to the pink-haired girl to obtain an Eviolite.
Go to the NW house and leave through the back door. There's a Rare Candy hidden in the garden behind the
house; it's in the top row, on the left empty tile between two blue flowers.
The house next to the Pokémon Centre has an old man who will trade you his Tangela for your Rattata.
The house north of the Gym has a guy who will give you TM27 (Return).

GYM LEADER MISTY (2v2)
Staryu LV 17
Starmie LV 16
Defeating Misty gets you the Cascade Badge and TM55 (Scald). Cerulean City is now added to the Kanto
Teleport System.
Go south. You will have to take the long way around behind the gym because there's a tree in your way.
ROUTE 5:
Wild Pokémon: Pidgey, *Meowth, *Oddish. Level 10-16.
Route 5 can be entered from the left, right, or centre. Wild Pokémon are only on the middle route. There's also
one trainer, the unofficial Gym Leader AJ, with his Sandshrew.
MINOR ICONIC
Youngster AJ
Sandshrew LV 16
At the south end of this part is the Day Care Centre to raise and breed your Pokémon. The important thing to note
is that in order to pick up Pokémon you leave there or an egg (the old man outside will give you an egg, when one
is generated) you must have an empty spot in your party. There is a PC inside.
This is your first chance to obtain a Cleffa or Igglybuff by breeding Clefairy or Jigglypuff respectively. Female
Clefairy and Jigglypuff can be caught in Mt Moon or on Route 3, respectively, if you only have male ones. At this
point you only have one Pikachu and he's always a guy, so you won't be able to obtain a Pichu until you get a
Ditto.
That being said, you can get your Pichu to be born with Volt Tackle if the Pikachu is holding a Light Ball, which
you will get later, so I'd suggest waiting a bit in any case.
On the west side of the route, there is a gap in the fence. Go through it, then south and east along the fence to
obtain a Revive at the end of the path.
The gatehouse is impassable for now, so go through the trees beyond the gap in the fence to enter Hidden
Village.
HIDDEN VILLAGE:
Wild Pokémon: Rattata, Paras, Oddish, Weepinbell, Caterpie, *Staryu, *Magikarp. Usual level 10-15.
This is your first chance to get a Weepinbell, the evolved form of Bellsprout. Bellsprout can be caught a bit further
into the game.
Hidden Village is one long, winding path and you'll have to go through a lot of grass patches, so be prepared.
There is only one visible item (Big Root) which is around the middle of the path -- you can't really miss it.
However, there are also 4 hidden items:
1: After the first patch of grass, you will see two red flowers on opposite vertices of a 3x5 rectangle. A Sitrus Berry
is hidden in the centre of this rectangle.
2: The second patch of grass is out of the way so you don't have to go through it. You DO have to go through the
third patch. North of this patch are two red flowers. Three tiles west and one tile north from the top flower is a
Leppa Berry.
3: The fourth patch of tall grass is the largest one and it covers most of the bottom part of the path. Hug the
northern edge of the path. You'll go through two tall grass tiles, and then there are three empty tiles. A Lum Berry
is hidden on the left empty tile.
4: After leaving the fourth patch, you'll enter the final area of Hidden Village. From the SW red flower, a Chesto
Berry is two tiles east and three tiles north.
At the end of the village is Melanie (from the anime) and an ICONIC LV 12 Bulbasaur.
After getting Bulbasaur, go east into the trees to Route 24. Be sure to grab the Everstone on the way out.
ROUTE 24:
Weather forecast: Sometimes rainy
Wild Pokémon: Pidgey, Caterpie, Oddish, *Venonat, Weedle, Metapod, Kakuna, *Abra, *Bellsprout, Pidgeotto.
Usual level 7-14.
Abra is very rare to find here with a 2% chance of showing up; there will be easier places to find it later if the 2%
is too low for you.

Enter the Pokémon Centre and talk to the guy on the right (Damien). He'll tell you he ditched his Charmander.
Well, one man's trash...
Leave the Pokémon Centre and go east. There's an ICONIC LV 15 Charmander on the rock. If you’ve talked to
his former trainer, you can take him. Once you have him, return to the Pokémon Centre and talk to the guy on the
left to obtain a Charcoal.
In previous versions, to obtain a TM later, you needed a Charizard, however this is no longer the case.
Go south.
ROUTE 25:
Route 25 has several parts. We can't enter the southern part right now so we can't fight wild Pokémon. You'll
have to resolve the problem with the Squirtle Squad from the anime.
After defeating them, talk to the ICONIC LV 15 Squirtle and take him with you. Once you have Squirtle, talk to the
cop outside to get Black Glasses, which means that you have 2 pairs of them, since Squirtle holds one as well.
You can now go through the southern part of the route.

In the very NW corner of this part, you can find a hidden Ether.
After you pass the part with tall grass, you'll see a lighthouse. Enter it and talk to the Pokémon inside. It's actually
Bill. Agree to help him and he will give you the Old Rod. Talk to Bill again and the "Someone's PC" where you
store your Pokémon will be renamed to "Bill's PC".
Also, be sure to access the PC in Bill's lighthouse. Doing so will greatly expand your PC boxes, up to a total of 56
boxes, each with a capacity of 30 Pokémon. That means that you can store a total of 1,680 Pokémon!
With the Old Rod, you can now start fishing. Unfortunately, all places where you've been so far only have
Magikarp and Poliwag available with Old Rod. You can still grab them if you haven't got them yet.
However, Route 25 itself is special. There are two new Pokémon that appear here in the water. One is Krabby,
which you can get even with the Old Rod from level 15 to 22. However the other Pokémon is in fact, a Dragonite,
the pseudo-legendary of the Kanto region. It has a 20% chance to appear with a Good Rod, but you don't get one
until Hoenn, and by then, you could have a LV 55+ Dragonite (if you evolve a Dragonair).
Catch a Krabby if you want and go south. There is also an ICONIC LV 15 Krabby directly south of the lighthouse
if you want to save time.
VERMILION CITY:
Go east where a sailor and his Machop are. Directly south of the plot of land is TM111 (Dazzling Gleam).
The orange-roofed house in the middle row (west of Pokemart) has a kid who will trade his Farfetch'd for your
Spearow.
Next to this house is the Pokémon Fan Club. Talk to the old man and agree to listen to him ramble about his
Fearow to get a Bicycle.
The eastern path that leads out of town has a move tutor that will teach your Pokémon Super Fang.
Brock is in front of the gym and you must defeat him again to enter the gym.

GYM LEADER LT. SURGE (1v1)
Raichu LV 20
In order to get to Lt. Surge, you will need to find two switches hidden in the trash cans. Both of them are in the top
row: the one on the left end and the third one from the right.
Defeating Lt. Surge nets you the Thunder Badge and TM24 (Thunderbolt). It will also allow you to obtain a Light
Ball from the lady in Pokémon Fan Club. And as before, Vermilion City is added to the Kanto Teleport System
(like Pewter and Cerulean City).
Another benefit of defeating Lt. Surge is that a small tree in Cerulean City will be finally cut, making travel
between Cerulean City and Route 5 much easier.
Now that you have 3 badges, the Pokemart's inventory updates again:
Poke Ball - 200
Great Ball - 600
Potion - 300
Super Potion - 700
Hyper Potion - 1200

The way east from the city is blocked by a sailor. To get past him, you must go on the S.S. Anne cruise ship. The
S.S. Anne is at the right of the 3 docks in Vermilion City.
S.S. ANNE:
This is a big ship with four floors. You start on 1F. 1F has a row of cabins. Your cabin is the second one from the
right and it contains a bed where you can heal your party and a PC. The rest of the ship is basically lots and lots
of trainers.
Apart from cabins, there's a fisherman who offers you a “super-rare Pokémon” (which is actually a level 15
Magikarp). I guess that’s a rip-off?
If you go left and down, you get to the kitchen. There are three trash cans on the right side of the room, and each
of them hides an item. From top to bottom: Pecha Berry, Cheri Berry, Chesto Berry.
2F, accessible through the stairs in the upper-left corner of 1F, has five more rooms. All of them, except for the
leftmost one, have a trainer to fight (the second room from the left and the rightmost room have two).

and trade them back, just like in the anime.
The last floor is B1F which is accessed through stairs in the bottom-right corner of 1F. First of all, grab the Hyper
Potion that is hidden in the trash can next to the stairs. Then start checking the rooms.
This floor has five rooms. First four rooms from the right (where you enter the floor) contain one normal trainer
each.

When you beat TR, the sinister plan is put into motion. Various sailors you've seen standing in the corridors
suddenly change into TR members who will fight you. You’ll have to make your way to the captain's cabin.
There are 3 TR members on B1F (you'll have to beat all of them to get back to the stairs).

In addition, the sailor who blocked the way to the stairs in the top-right corner of 2F is now gone, letting you enter
the captain's cabin. However, once you go to the captain's cabin, you can't leave until you fight the boss, so do
everything else you want first!
There's two TR members in the captain's cabin, but one of them is just there to block the stairs. The other one, at
the top of the room, is the one you have to fight.

Drowzee LV 24

ROUTE 11:
Weather forecast: Very rarely sunny

You could have caught an Ekans on Route 3 before, but there are much better chances to find them here.

northern end contains an Escape Rope.
On the eastern side of this Route, there's the Butterfree mating season. Five people watch them.
Second one from top lets you release a Butterfree if you have one.
When you're done here, enter the house and go through the Underground Path. It's entirely uneventful, so I'm not
even going to give it its own section.
ROUTE 8:
Weather forecast: Very rarely sunny
Wild Pokémon: Pidgey, Meowth, Sandshrew, Ekans, *Vulpix, *Growlithe
All tall grass is in a fairly small fenced area in the middle of the Route. This patch has one visible item, TM20
(Safeguard), along the south edge, and three hidden items:
1: Rawst Berry -- two tiles west and three tiles north from the TM20.
2: Lum Berry -- one row above Rawst Berry, three tiles west from the eastern fence.
3: Lepa Berry -- in the same column as Rawst Berry, three tiles south from the northern fence.

Route 8 connects Lavender Town (east) and Saffron City (west). You have to go through a gate house to get to
Saffron City, but the guard will let you go through, unlike the one at Route 5.
SAFFRON CITY:
This is the largest place we’ve found yet! Let's have a look around!
Interesting places:
House in NW corner: On the upper floor, you'll find a girl who can teach Role Play to Pokémon. Underneath the
table to her left, you can find a Nugget which you can steal from her.
House in SE corner: Talk to the man here to get TM29 (Psychic).
Silph Co. (the tall building in the centre of the city): Talk to the receptionist to get TM90 (Substitute). Also, grab a
Master Ball in the middle of the room.
A little south of the NW house with the Role Play move tutor is a Growlithe that’ll give you a Rare Bone.
The Gym contains 9 rooms in a 3x3 grid. Let's number them from 1 to 9 so the NW room is 1, north room is 2,
west room is 4, etc.
Each room contains a trainer except for room 8 (which is the entrance). Sabrina is in the central room (room 5).
All other rooms contain 4 teleporters, which are placed roughly in the corners. Teleporters are connected in pairs
(stepping on a teleporter always moves you to the paired teleporter).
Room 1 (NW) - NW -> 3/SW; NE -> 2/NE; SW -> 5/E; SE -> 4/SW

Room 8 (south, entrance) - only contains one teleporter, connected to the SE teleporter in Room 9.
So room 9 can be reached with a single teleport, rooms 3, 6, and 7 with two, rooms 1, 2, and 4 with three and
central room 5 requires 4 teleports.
Unfortunately, when you defeat Sabrina, she won't give you the badge -- instead she gives you a new task: Beat
Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. Go through Route 8 to get there.
LAVENDER TOWN:
Weather forecast: Often Foggy
If you went here before, you'd find that the entrance to Pokémon Tower is blocked by a person who warns you
away. She'll be gone now.
Three houses can be entered. The SE house contains a Name Rater who can change the nicknames of your
Pokémon.
POKÉMON TOWER:
The first two floors have no wild Pokémon. Only from the 3rd floor up will you start to encounter wild Pokémon.
There’ll also be fog.

south. West is Route 7 -- a new destination.
ROUTE 7:

In the top row of houses, there is an Eevee between two of them. Speak to it to have it join your team. This one is
special, as it has its Hidden Ability. Directly behind it is a lone tree. You can find a PP Up in there.
Beside the Pokémon Centre, there is a Biker that will teach your Pokémon the move Covet.
In the SE area, a guy will give you TM21 (Frustration). You can also find an Ether if you follow the southern fence
west.
In the row of 5 houses, go to the second one from the left. Talk to the man in the top right corner to receive the
Coin Case. Around here is also a Chansey that’ll give you a Lucky Punch.
In the game corner, there is an attendant that will let you buy coins.
Next to the Game Corner, you can exchange your coins for prizes. The attendant on the left will let you exchange
coins for items:
Smoke Ball - 800 coins
Miracle Seed - 1000 coins

*Dratini - 2800 coins
*Scyther - 5500 coins
*Porygon - 9999 coins
Note that both Dratini and Scyther can be found in Safari Zone, which you'll reach quite soon. If you want to limit
your coin grinding, you can just get a Porygon, but you won’t even need to grind for Porygon if you don’t mind
waiting quite a bit for it..
Coins can be won in slots or in the Voltorb Flip game. Voltorb Flip is better (doesn't cost anything to play so you
can't lose), but to get better payouts, you must win multiple games in a row. http://www.voltorbflip.com/ has an
application that solves the game for you, but since there can be multiple solutions, it can just lead you to make
the LEAST risky moves, but not eliminate the risk entirely; thus, reaching high levels with high payouts is hard
even with this -- especially since your game level can randomly drop when you lose. Also remember that if you
stop playing, you'll have to start over from Lv. 1 next time.
Triple Triad:
The top right part of the Game Corner is dedicated to Triple Triad (originally from Final Fantasy VIII). There are
four card players on the right and the guy behind the desk lets you buy or sell cards. Note the bottom card player.
If you beat her, you get 1 Arceus Card, which you can then use to beat her again over and over. In doing so, you
can gain an excess amount of Arceus Cards which can then be sold for 400 pokedollars for more money, if you
need it. You can only buy cards for Pokémon you already own.
Person in the top left deals with a Lottery where you can win prizes if you have a Pokémon with an original
Trainer ID corresponding to the lucky number. You can win:
Ultra Ball for matching the last digit.
PP Up for matching the last 2 digits.
Exp. Share for matching the last 3 digits.
Max Revive for matching the last 4 digits.
Master Ball for matching all 5 digits.
In the NW corner is a big building with two entrances - the Celadon Department Store. Outside it is a girl running
around in circles, with a Koffing near her that’ll give you a Toxic Orb. In the Department Store, there are two ways
to travel between floors, through stairs or the elevator.
3F: The girl behind the counter will teach your Pokémon Sky Attack.
This is an important one because the evolution stones are quite handy.
Unlike a normal shop, you can only buy one at a time. There's a chance you'll get an extra drink for free though.
Next to the Department Store is the P1 Grand Prix building. Brock is there, as well as 5 other normal trainers and
Anthony, the boss.

When you beat Anthony, he will give you a Black Belt. You can also give him Pokémon to train, similar to the Day
Care. Actually, there are several people in the game who will train your Pokémon, but they all share the same
ones. On one hand, it makes it easier to drop them off and pick them up, but on the other hand, only the guy at
the Day Care Center can give you eggs and that's probably the main reason why you use the Day Care.

ROUTE 16:
Wild Pokémon: *Doduo, Rattata, Spearow, Raticate. Usual level 25-29.
Before tackling Cycling Road, let's visit the power plant in the north.
Items:
Max Potion: North of the entrance.
Max Elixir: In a tile that looks slightly different to the other tiles in the power plant that is in the NW corner, just
south of where Muk is.
2 Thunder Stones: One east of the Max Potion, hidden in the first rock from the left, next to the cans (hidden) and
one in the SE corner (visible).
TM17 (Protect): In the NE corner.
Go back out.
ROUTE 16:
Cycling Road can be entered through the gate. However, before you do so, go upstairs in the gate building. One
of Professor Oak's aides is waiting for you on the right and will give you an Amulet Coin.
Note that while you need to have a bike to enter the Cycling Road, you are not required to ride it.

There's a hidden item (Rare Candy) on a tile directly above the middle of the sandy stretch.
Finally, there's Max Revive - at the southern end of the road, you'll see a short fence. Max Revive is hidden on
the tile south of the middle section of the fence.
ROUTE 18:
Just a small stretch of a road.
There's a woman in the upper floor of the gate building that will trade your Slowbro for his Lickitung. I highly
recommend not doing this trade unless you desperately want the max odds for the Game Corner lottery, since
obtaining a Slowbro can be rather tedious; you can’t obtain one in the wild, meaning that you have to level up a
Slowpoke up to Level 37 to obtain a Slowbro.
The next gym is technically right here, on Route 18, but let's check Fuchsia City to the east first.
FUCHSIA CITY:
The top of this town is a zoo with various Pokémon exhibits.
The house east of the Pokémon Centre contains Move Deleter who can remove moves from your Pokémon. He
was only useful if your Pokémon had a move that was previously a HM, but you can forget them normally now so
he’s only useful in highly specific niche situations.
From the house in the SE part of the town, you can go back to the yard. There's Max Revive hidden there, on the
tile adjacent to all three flowers. But what's more important, there's water to fish! Even with just the Old Rod, you
can catch a Slowpoke here.
One of the people wandering around the Pokémon enclosures is actually Janine, Koga's daughter. However, she
won't do much except chat with you, so feel free to move on past her if you want.
Near the Lapras, there’s a Farfetch’d wandering around that’ll give you a Leek.
As you attempt to enter the Safari Zone, there is a guy who will stop you and challenge you to a battle outside the
doors.
MINOR ICONIC
Gambler Kaiser (The Safari Warden)
Dragonair LV 35
SAFARI ZONE:
At this point, you can only access the central (Kanto) part of the Safari Zone. Rules are: pay 500$ for the right to
make 600 steps in the Safari Zone, plus 30 Safari Balls to catch wild Pokémon.
Wild Pokémon in the Kanto part: *Tauros, *Tangela, *Rhyhorn, Nidorina, Nidorino, *Exeggcute, Venonat,
Parasect, Scyther, *Pinsir, *Chansey. Level 30-35.
If you didn't buy Scyther in Game Corner, this is the first chance to catch it normally. Pinsir and Chansey have
only a 1% encounter rate. However, since encounters in Safari Zone are less tedious, it's not that hard to grind for
them. Note that Exeggcute and Scyther are available on Route 19 just south of Fuchsia City, so that might be a
better option for you.
Note: Definitely get a few Tauros - you will need one for a miniquest later in the game. There is a free ICONIC
Tauros as well by the lake edge at LV 35.
You can also fish here - Old Rod gets you either *Horsea or Dratini, level 30-32. Dratini is another one of those
Pokémon in Game Corner.
Three visible items:
A HP Up in SW corner, a Leaf Stone in the NE corner and TM11 (Sunny Day) in the NW corner.
There's also a hidden Nugget: Go to the NE grass patch. It has 4 grass tiles adjacent to the lake. Nugget is
hidden on the second one from the left.
Once you catch what you want, go to the Gym on Route 18.

The gym has "invisible" walls -- but you can still spot them: Wall tiles have white spots in the corners. Koga will
give you the Soul Badge plus TM06 (Toxic) for defeating him. This will also add Fuchsia City to the Kanto
Teleport System.
In addition, if you go back to the gatehouse at the top part of Cycling Road, you can talk to the girl upstairs to
obtain TM134 (Fly), which you can even use outside to battle to fly to places you’re already been to. Like the
Town Map however, you can only use Fly for regions up to Unova.
ROUTE 19:
Wild Pokémon: Venonat, *Lickitung, Butterfree, Exeggcute, Spearow, Abra, Scyther, Oddish, Exeggutor. Level
30-32. Exeggutor only has a 1% encounter rate.
Sidenote: It's far better to catch a Lickitung here rather than doing the trade for it in the gatehouse connecting
Fuchsia City and Route 18 unless you want the maximum odds for the game corner lottery.
There are 10 trainers on this Route, almost all of which are based on battles from the anime.

Even when you beat her, you won't get it, sadly. Once you leave the house, the house can no longer be entered.
The left house contains an old man. If you've beaten both Koga and Misty, he will give you the Vermilion Ticket.
As the ticket name suggests, you should now go to Vermilion City. Once there, go to the middle pier of the dock.
Talk to the guy there to be able to go to Cinnabar Island.
CINNABAR ISLAND:
First of all, this is the first place where you can obtain Goldeen. It can be caught even with Old Rod, at level 15-
19.
There are two important buildings on the island: Cinnabar Power Shop and Pokémon Mansion.
Don't worry about buying these now if they are too expensive. You will get them for free later on.
Outside the Power Shop, there's a Move Tutor that teaches Seismic Toss. Around the island you'll find three
people that want to trade. They will trade:
Your Raichu for his Electrode (left one)
Your Venonat for her Haunter (middle one)
Your Seel for his Ponyta (right one)
There’s also a Tentacool wandering around outside the Pokémon Mansion that’ll give you a Water Gem.
Unfortunately, we can’t go straight to the Cinnabar Gym. You’ll need to clear out Mansion first - only then you'll
earn the right to be able to go to the Gym.
POKÉMON MANSION:
Wild Pokémon: The mansion has 4 floors (1F, 2F, 3F, B1F). All floors contain *Koffing, Grimer, Rattata, Muk, and
Weezing. Floor 1F-3F has Raticate while Floor B1F has it replaced by Ditto. Additionally, each floor has a
different Fire-type Pokémon: 1F has Growlithe, 2F has Vulpix, 3F has *Ponyta, and B1F has *Magmar.
Thanks to the half-destroyed state of the mansion, you can't just grab things on each floor in order. You have to
take a roundabout route.
Scientist Ted
Electrode LV 29
Weezing LV 29
4 items:
Moon Stone: Hidden on the left side of the floor in the entrance hallway, in the small rock among a pile of rocks.

Protein: In the big room with stairs down, it's hidden in the top left corner. Can't be obtained right now.

Magnemite LV 33
Voltorb LV 33

There are three stairs up on the floor. The lower stairs (the one next to stairs form 1F) lead to a separate area of
3F with an item (Iron) and a trainer. To get further, take the upper stairs.
Burglar Lewis
Growlithe LV 34
Ponyta LV 34
4 items:
Iron: Visible on a table in the bottom left room.
Rare Candy: Hidden in a lone rock in the top right corner.
Max Potion: Visible in bottom right part of the room.
Max Revive: Hidden on the tile right below Max Potion.
2F: Now you're in the right position to grab the HP Up and fight the 2nd trainer on this floor. There's a hole in a
wall to the south. Ignore what the trainer says and fall into it.
In the room directly left of the stairs, interact with the device in the top left corner of the room to find an Elixir. In
the top left room, there's a guy you have to talk to in order to complete this dungeon. In the room below him is
TM22 (Solar Beam).
Note that this floor has Ditto and Magmar. Ditto is a Pokémon you especially should get because of its universal
breeding compatibility. Since this floor is hard to access, you should catch what you want while you're still here.
Once you're done, go back up and out. There's an exit from the mansion south of the stairs.
With Ditto, you can now obtain some pre-evolutions (Pichu, Cleffa and Igglybuff) if you weren't able to before.
You are now also able to breed Magmar to get Magby.
Note that while Chansey also has a pre-evolution, you can't get the necessary item to get it just yet.
But what's more important, the ship can now take you to the Cinnabar Gym!
CINNABAR GYM:
There are 5 trainers in the Gym, plus Blaine.

GYM LEADER BLAINE Round 2 (1v1)
Magmar LV 40
This time, he'll give you the Volcano Badge, as well as TM35 (Flamethrower). Cinnabar Island will now be a
possible destination in the Kanto teleport system.
Ho-Oh appears on Route 1 with 1% chance. It's at level 50. It's a normal encounter, so you can encounter it again
even if you catch or defeat it.
2. Your leading Pokémon should be a Beedrill. That's because Beedrill has the Swarm ability which doubles
encounter rate -- leads to less wasted Repels.
3. You need some source of paralysis to improve catch rate. Pikachu's Nuzzle is a good one, since you definitely
have a Pikachu and since Nuzzle always causes paralysis. While sleep would improve catch rate more than
paralysis, paralysis has the advantage of never wearing off.
4. You need something strong to beat Ho-Oh down -- I'll leave the choice to you. False Swipe (TM54) on a high-
level Pokémon would be nice since it can't KO.
5. Before trying to find Ho-Oh, SAVE THE GAME. Even when you find Ho-Oh, it might still take multiple attempts,
and even an unsuccessful attempt will cost you lots of valuable Ultra Balls. If you encounter Ho-Oh and fail to
catch it, reload and try again.
Once you find Ho-Oh, Paralyse it, reduce its HP and start chucking Ultra Balls. Ho-Oh has Recover and three
damage-dealing moves: Fire Blast, Sacred Fire, and Punishment. To avoid Ho-oh’s STAB high power fire type
moves, you could use a Pokémon with Flash Fire ability (like Vulpix, Growlithe, or Ponyta). These are completely
immune to Fire Blast and Sacred Fire, leaving Punishment as the only attack that will work.
If you manage to get a Ho-Oh, congratulations! -- you got a powerful legendary and the rest of the game got
easier.
VIRIDIAN CITY:
The old man who blocked the entrance to the Viridian Gym will now move away, letting you access it. The
moment you enter it, you'll be thrown into battle with a L50 Mewtwo, so be prepared to catch it! While you can
chuck Ultra Balls at it, I would suggest just using the Master Ball you got from Silph Co. There will be a few more
Master Balls in future, plus, Mewtwo is the first Legendary in the game that actually blocks your progress, so you
might not have as much time and resources to prepare for it as you want.
Once the battle is over, you go immediately into a battle with TR.
ICONIC BATTLE:
TR's Jessie and James
Kingler LV 40
Rhydon LV 40
Machamp LV 40
Arbok LV 37
Weezing LV 37
An exploit you could use to make the game ridiculously easy is that if you lose to TR, the events inside of the
Viridian City gym restart, allowing you to get as many Mewtwos as you’d like.
There's an item close to where you are. It's the Earth Badge, plus TM26 (Earthquake). In addition, you can go
through the wreckage of the Gym to get a Lucky Egg, an extremely useful item that boosts EXP for any Pokémon
that holds it.
Now that you have 8 badges, Poke Marts update their inventory for the last time:
Poke Ball - 200
Great Ball - 600
Ultra Ball - 1200
Potion - 300
Super Potion - 700
Hyper Potion - 1200

Full Heal - 600
Escape Rope - 550

Super Repel - 500
Max Repel - 700
Before you head to Route 22, head back towards Pallet Town. There will be an ICONIC LV 5 Mr. Mime blocking
the way. When you talk to it, you have the option of letting it join your team. Now head back to Viridian, and head
west to route 22.
ROUTE 22:
Wild Pokémon: Persian, *Onix, Sandslash, *Machoke, Jigglypuff, Pidgeotto, Poliwhirl. Level 35-38.
There's Machoke, but no Machop. Machop can be found later. If you want, you can catch a Machoke here and
breed it for Machop.
There are 9 trainers on this route. Several of them are based on the characters of the 1st Pokémon Movie,

Once you're done, enter the building at the end to get to the Indigo Plateau.
INDIGO PLATEAU:
The old guy in the building is a Move Tutor for Metronome.
What do these items actually do? Incenses have an effect in battle when held, but they are also necessary to
obtain certain Pokémon. That's because they can help you get “baby Pokémon”, which are the pre-evolutions of
certain Pokémon. If you want to learn more about them, I would recommend using Bulbapedia. At this point, the
Luck Incense is the only one that can work for you: you can use it with Chansey to breed Happiny. The Luck
Incense also doubles the amount of money you get from trainer battles, so it’s handy if you don’t have the Amulet
Coin for some reason.
So, which Incenses do you actually need to buy now? Assuming you don't want their battle effects and just want
to breed to get baby Pokémon asap, Full, Luck, Rock, Odd and Sea Incense are most important, as you will have
a chance to get these Pokémon in the not-too-distant future.
Lax Incense is just unnecessary to buy at all, as there will actually be a free one in the area where the relevant
Pokémon appears for the first time. The Rose Incense is also unnecessary since you’ll first be able to get the
baby form of the Pokémon that can use it.
As for the Pure and Wave Incenses, by the time you actually get the Pokémon that use them, you'll have access
to a permanent Incense shop, so there's no need to buy them here.
Note that if you get a Happiny, you won't be able to evolve it into a Chansey yet - this requires an Oval Stone; you
don't have access to one yet.
Heart Scales are used with Move Relearner. They got much cheaper with the more recent generations, so that
change has been reflected here.
Everstones have 2 effects - it stops evolution when held and forces a parent's nature onto a baby when breeding.
Not too useful since you’ll be able to buy nature-changing items later on in the game.
There's still a lot of trainers to get money for the remaining items, but if you need more, there are a few options.
1. Meowth:
Meowth can learn an attack called "Pay Day". Whenever you use it, you get money equal to double Meowth's
level at the end of the battle. Note that you must decline Meowth's evolution a few times to get it.
You can double the amount by using Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, but it's not really worth it -- even with Lv. 100
Meowth or Persian (which you're probably far from having), you'd only get 400 per Pay Day.
There's one more advantage of Meowth, though: it can have the ability Pickup and get you items as you walk.
3. Crime:
And by "crime", I mean TM46, Thief.
A few wild Pokémon can have items. Catching a Pokémon will give you the item, obviously, but that's not
financially sound since you'd be down a cost of Pokeball and, more to the point, the items themselves might be
rare. There is an ability, Frisk, that can tell you whether a Pokémon has an item or not, but unfortunately, you
don't have access to it yet.
What you DO have access to, though, is Butterfree. Butterfree has the ability Compound Eyes that increases the
chance you'll find a Pokémon with an item.
Next step is just to use Thief. Fortunately, Butterfree is able to learn it from the TM. Remember that Butterfree
must not hold any item, otherwise the theft won't work.
An advanced setup is to have Butterfree in the front, but already fainted (its ability will still work like that), and a
Pokémon with Frisk and Thief in the second spot. That way you'll get lots of items and you can steal them easily.
So, is there a good place to steal? Most items that can be obtained are not that expensive, but Mt. Moon is a
pretty good one. It has two good money makers: Paras and Clefairy/Clefable (both have a greater chance to be
encountered on the top floor).
Clefairy can hold a Moon Stone, which, apart from the fact that it's important for the evolution of several Pokémon
lines, can be sold for 2000. Paras, on the other hand, can have either a Tiny Mushroom or a Big Mushroom. Tiny
Mushrooms can be sold for 250, while Big Mushrooms can be sold for 2500! Compound Eyes make them appear
20% of the time, so it's a bit time-intensive but potentially profitable.
Alternatively, you might want to try Hidden Village. There are wild Paras here as well, but you can also find Staryu
-- and Staryu can have Stardust or Star Piece. Even common Stardust can be sold for 1000 and Star Piece for
even more money. Unfortunately, Staryu are pretty rare.
Basically: if you want to gather some Moon Stones for evolution, hit Mt. Moon -- otherwise, Hidden Village might
be better.
As a note: there's one more item a Paras might have: Balm Mushroom. That can be sold for an incredible 25,000,
but it's rare, even with Compound Eyes.
As for farming specific items for their USE, I'd suggest waiting until you get Frisk.
But we'll have time for this after we go through Pokémon League!
On your left is a woman who lets you enter the league. At the left wall is a Poke Mart, and at the top right is a

And that's it! You got to Top 16, and that's the best you can get for now. As you finish, the announcer tells you to
go tell Professor Oak how you did. So let's head back to Pallet Town now.
PALLET TOWN:
Return home and talk to Professor Oak. He'll let you travel to the Orange Archipelago on a blimp... that is, if a
Fearow didn't attack the blimps! The Fearow hides in the northern part of the Viridian Forest, but beware -- once
you beat it, the Indigo Plateau closes for a long time and you'll lose access to the shops there. So if you want to
use them, now's your chance!
Once you're good, beat the Fearow - it is only level 40, so you should have no problem with it.
We can now move further, but before that, go back to Pallet Town. In the SE corner of town will be a pink-haired
girl who will give you LV 50 Mew. The girl is actually Mew in disguise. Don't judge. Also, the Pidgey that was near
the bottom row of houses before has evolved into a Pidgeotto! It’ll now give you a Wiki Berry.
In addition, go to your house and to your room upstairs. Get the item that appeared there, TM102 (Crush Claw).
Nothing else to do -- go to Viridian City and use the blimp service to go to Valencia Island.
But after you defeat them, you'll end up crashing on Valencia Island... well at least you got there!
TANGELO ISLAND:
Weather forecast: Rarely rainy
The house right next to where you start has a lady who gives you a Max Revive.
One of the houses in SW corner (only one can be entered) has Pokémon Move Maniac who can teach your
Pokémon any moves they could've learnt at a previous level. He only requires 1 Heart Scale per move, which is
pretty cheap.
Pokémon Park isn't too useful, just pretty. House in the SE corner can't actually be entered.
The important thing here is in the NE corner. Four trainers block your way to a Lapras.

MIKAN ISLAND:
Fishing: Horsea and Staryu.
Close to where you start is a house. In the tree left of the house is a hidden Pecha Berry.
At the SE corner of the island is a Revive. Below that is a guy who gives you TM25 (Thunder). In the SW corner
of the island is a Kabuto that gives you a Misty Seed.
A house on the hill in the centre of the island has a trainer. After you beat him, talk to him to get TM42 (Facade).

you haven't done so yet - you don't have to fight the trainer anymore.
NAVEL ISLAND:
Fishing: Magikarp and *Seel.
You start on a beach. In the NE tile of this beach is a hidden Heart Scale.
A guy directly south of the Pokémon Centre will give you TM83 (Work Up) and inside the Pokémon Centre
another guy will give you a Soft Sand. An Electabuzz outside the Pokémon Centre will also give you an Electric
Seed.
The right house contains four guys. Three of them are move tutors for: Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder
Punch.
NAVEL ROCK:
Navel Rock has four floors: 1F, B1F, 2F, and 3F. 1F and 2F share the same Pokemon list, as do B1F and 3F.
Possible Pokemon are:
*Cubone - 1F and 2F only, common
Abra - B1F and 3F only, common
*Electabuzz - common on 1F and 2F, rare on B1F and 3F
Graveler - common on B1F and 3F, rare on 1F and 2F
Dugtrio - uncommon on all floors
*Diglett - uncommon on all floors
*Machop - uncommon on all floors
Ekans - uncommon on all floors
Golbat - uncommon on all floors
Zubat - rare on all floors
Koffing - very rare on all floors
*Voltorb - very rare on all floors
If you get an Electabuzz, remember that you can breed it to get an Elekid.
So, what about Voltorb? It has a 1% encounter rate, and even if encountered, it unfortunately knows Self-
Destruct, so it can blow itself up. And your next chance to get one will come quite a bit later. To improve your
chances, you should get a Poliwag or its evolution with the ability Damp which will cause Self-Destruct to fail.
Unfortunately, they have to be pretty high-levelled so that Voltorb can't just OHKO them with its OTHER attacks...
or if you want to avoid that, you could wait until you can catch a Water/Ground type with the ability Damp. That
being said, you could improve your chances of finding a Voltorb (well, that, or Electabuzz) by using a Pokemon
with Static at the front of your party.
Anyway, once you're ready to do this dungeon, go up then left. Fight a trainer and get down the ladder.

Going from the cave entrance to the right, there will be a small space north of you with seven rocks. The leftmost

For now, go out of the cave into the Navel Gym. There are two people here. First one is a healer who'll heal your
party before you battle the Gym Leader - Danny.

Nidoqueen LV 45
Geodude LV 45
Machoke LV 45
Scyther LV 45
Electrode LV 45
Beat Danny for the Sea Ruby Badge and TM13 (Ice Beam). The Lapras Launch lets you go to the Seven
Grapefruit Islands, so go there.
This place is a bit confusing: as the name says, there are seven islands which are connected by bridges into a
long linear sequence. Let's call the island you start on Island 3. The island north of you is Island 2, and the island
to the east of THAT is Island 1. Islands 4-7 are those you can get to by going south, in order.
Island 1:
Bunch of guys picking grapefruits. The mid-bottom guy on the right side will give you TM105 (Toxic Spikes) and
the Dodrio will give you a Grassy Seed.
Island 2:
You can get an item here (Berry Juice).
Island 3:
Nothing interesting, except for the Lapras Launch to go back to Navel Island.
Island 4:
A woman in the house here will tell you about the Snorlax problem. Since you want to go deal with it, she will let
the guard know.
A guy in the Pokemon Centre will give you a Berry Juice.
Island 5:
This island is completely devastated by Snorlax. There are some green-ish patches left, and two of them contain
hidden Berry Juices: the one at the very NE, and one roughly in the middle: go east from the bridge and it should
be the second patch you see.
Island 6:
More devastation. There's one hidden Berry Juice, in a green-ish patch: go east from the bridge, go down from
the first patch and search the second one.
Island 7:
You must talk to the woman in the house on Island 4 in order to get here. There's an ICONIC Snorlax here (level
45).
Go back to Island 4 and talk to the woman again -- you will get some Leftovers.
If you have bought the Incenses at Indigo Plateau, you can give Full Incense to Snorlax and breed it to get a
Munchlax.
You can now use the Lapras Launch to reach the next island, Trovita Island.
TROVITA ISLAND:
While it's possible to fish here, no encounters are defined and so you can't catch anything.
On the west side of the island, there is a Move Tutor for Endeavor. Nothing else to do here. Lorelei from Elite
Four is in front of the gym and you have to fight her to get into the gym.

ASCORBIA ISLAND:
Weather forecast: Occasionally Sunny
Fishing: Goldeen and *Shellder.
Wild Pokemon: Paras, Beedrill, *Psyduck, Butterfree, Krabby, Staryu, Parasect. Level 35-39
Just a bit SE from where you land is a house with a guy who will give you a Burn Heal.
Go to the northern part of the island through a long grassy path with five trainers (4th is Tracey).

PUMMELO ISLAND:
Fishing: Horsea and Staryu.
Wild Pokemon: Sandslash, Golem, Magneton, Nidorina, Wigglytuff, Kadabra, Arcanine, Nidorino, Arbok,
Exeggutor, Dragonair (rare). Usual level 40-42 (Dragonairs are lv 45).
Note that this is a premium levelling spot -- not only are the Pokemon high-levelled, but they are also all evolved
forms which give significantly more EXP! With a Lucky Egg and an Exp. Share, you can get a lot here.
Careful when interacting with Lapras Launch here -- you can go to Valencia Island, but it's a one-way trip; going
back to Pummelo will take several more trips.
The old lady on the left is a Move Tutor who teaches Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon.
First you have to fight Misty, who blocks the entrance to the Stadium.

The inside of the Stadium is essentially a Pokemon Centre with extra features - a guy on the left who acts as the

talk to the guy blocking the top exit and fight Drake.

Defeating Drake now lets you go from Pummelo Island to the Element Islands. There are a few more things, but
you should go to the Element Islands first, if you want some legendary pokemon.
ELEMENT ISLANDS:
Weather forecast: Stormy
There are three islands - Ice, Lightning, and Fire. You start at the Ice island and Lapras Launch can transport you
to other islands as well as back to Pummelo Island. Ice island has Articuno on it, Lightning island has Zapdos,
and Fire Island has Moltres.
All three are level 50. You could get them now, or wait until you can get specialised balls to catch them. I
recommend using Fast Balls on Zapdos (since it's fast), and Timer Balls on the other 2. Bear in mind that all 3 of
them have Roost for healing.
And we're done with the Orange Islands! Next up, Johto!
PALLET TOWN:
Go to Professor Oak's Lab. Gary blocks the stairs; waste him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Rival Gary
Eevee LV 50
Talk to Professor Oak in his lab and we're officially on the road to Johto. Go to Indigo Plateau; the western exit
from the gate building will be open now.
ROUTE 29:
Wild Pokemon: *Heracross, *Spinarak, Pinsir, Butterfree, *Stantler, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂. Usual level 5-6.
Since you're in a new region, wild Pokemon levels dropped significantly. Use False Swipe so your high-level
Pokemon won't knock the wild Pokemon out. You should have a TM for it -- or at the very least, Cubone has it
naturally.
The most important thing here is Stantler. Try to get a Stantler with a Frisk ability -- fortunately, its second ability
is Intimidate which shows itself in battle. If you meet a Stantler and it won't reduce your attack, it probably has
Frisk and you should get it.
Frisk will reveal an item held by opposing Pokemon (if any) once you encounter it. Combined with Butterfree's
Compound Eyes (which, as I've said before, increases the chance of meeting Pokemon with items), you will get a
powerful team for item farming (don't forget to teach Thief to your Stantler).
For maximum speed, you can make your Butterfree faint. That way, Compound Eyes will still work but Stantler
will enter the battle first so you don't have to switch it in (after all, if you start with Butterfree, you can just have
THAT use Thief). Or you can just give Stantler a Smoke Ball and immediately run from anything uninteresting (of
course, then you need someone else with Thief to actually steal the item). Also, if you're doing this, have some
items ready to heal your Stantler -- using a Pokemon Centre would revive Butterfree and you'd have to make it
faint again.
The first thing you'll notice in this route is an ICONIC LV 6 Heracross to the north of you. Talk to it to have it join
your team. In the NE corner of the route, there is a Potion. Midway along the route you'll get to amuse yourself by
crushing the dreams of a beginning trainer and baseball fangirl Casey.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pickincker Casey
Chikorita LV 4
Pidgey LV 3
Rattata LV 3
After you stomp her, talk to the Chikorita on this Route. It will run away into the northern part of the route. Follow it
to the snowy forest. You can catch a *Hoothoot here (Haunters and Gengars rarely appear as well). You
shouldn't use False Swipe here -- this location has permanent hail and Hoothoot will be KO'd by the hail. Instead
wait a bit until its HP has dropped and then catch it. Or use Sunny Day/Rain Dance to change the weather so that
it doesn’t take damage and then use False Swipe.
Talk to the ICONIC LV 5 Chikorita again and you can grab it for yourself!
After returning to the main route and continuing west, you'll pass another trainer.
MINOR ICONIC
Lady Rochelle
Donphan LV 2 x4
CHERRYGROVE CITY:
Weather forecast: Very rarely rainy
Nothing too important here, except fishing -- Woopers can be caught in this town. There is a new teleporter in
Pokemon Centre, but we can't use her services yet. Behind the Centre is a Quagsire that’ll give you an Ultra Ball.
There's also a Move Tutor here out by the beach that will teach your Pokemon the move Gravity and another
person who will tell you how trade evolutions in Fire Ash work, but this guy also tells you about trade evolutions of
Gen 2 pokemon.
Before we go further…
With the combination of Compound Eyes and Frisk, you have a good chance to grab some new items.
Technically, you could have gotten them before, but Frisk makes it less time-consuming.
What can we get at this point in the game and where can we get it?
Sidenote: You'll be able to buy the items in sections 1 + 2 eventually, and you'll get the items in section 3
throughout the game, so you don't have to steal them from wild pokemon. Only do so if you want them now.
1. Berries.
Chilan Berry -- Appears on Rattata and Raticate. Best place to farm them is Route 16 and Route 17.
Leppa Berry -- Appears on Clefairy and Clefable. Best place to farm them is Mt Moon 1F. Leppa Berry is common
and you'll find lots of them while trying to get their rarer items.
Payapa Berry -- Appears on Mankey and Primeape. Best place to farm them is Route 7.
Rawst Berry -- Appears on Vulpix, Growlithe and Arcanine. Best place to farm them is Route 8. Automatic item.
Shuca Berry -- Appears on Ponyta. Best place to farm them is Pokemon Mansion 3F.
2. Evolution items.
Dragon Scale -- Appears on Horsea, Seadra, Dratini and Dragonair. Best place to farm them is fishing on
Cinnabar Island, Mikan Island or Pummelo Island. Needed to evolve Seadra.
Electirizer -- Appears on Electabuzz. Best place to farm them is Navel Rock, floors 1F and 2F. Needed to evolve
Electabuzz.
Magmarizer -- Appears on Magmar. Best place to farm them is Pokemon Mansion B1F. Needed to evolve
Magmar.
Metal Coat -- Appears on Magnemite and Magneton. Best place to farm them is the Gringey City Power Plant.
Needed to evolve Onix and Scyther. Also boosts Steel-type moves.
Moon Stone -- Appears on Clefairy and Clefable. Best place to farm them is Mt Moon 1F.
King's Rock -- Appears on Poliwhirl. Best place to farm them is fishing on Valencia Island. Needed to evolve
Poliwhirl (into Politoed) and Slowpoke (into Slowking).
3. Type-boosting items.
We already got a few of them, like Charcoal or Black Glasses. Stealing gets us:
Poison Barb -- Poison booster. Appears on Beedrill, Tentacool and Tentacruel. Best place to farm them is fishing
for Tentacool on Tangelo Island.
Soft Sand -- Ground booster. Appears on Diglett and Dugtrio. Best place to farm them is Navel Rock.
Sharp Beak -- Flying booster. Appears on Fearow, Doduo and their evolutions. Best place to farm them is Route
17.
Twisted Spoon -- Psychic booster. Appears on Abra and Kadabra. Best place to farm them is Navel Rock, floors
B1F and 3F.
Silver Powder -- Bug booster. Appears on Butterfree. Best place to farm them is Valencia Island.
Once you get what you want, continue north from Cherrygrove City to Route 30.
ROUTE 30:
Wild Pokemon: *Ledyba, Hoothoot, Spinarak, Caterpie, Weedle, Metapod, Kakuna, Pidgey. Level 7-8.
Three visible items on the path, a Potion, an Antidote and a Poke Ball.
Next to a house is an Apricorn tree which will give you a random Apricorn.

There's another Apricorn Tree in the SW part of the city.
There's a hidden Poke Ball in the NW corner of the island in the lake.

Gentleman Li
Bellsprout LV 12
Like Kanto, Johto features a system where you can teleport from a town with a pokemon centre to another. Now
that you’ve beaten Falkner, the Johto Teleport System starts to work now, connecting Cherrygrove City and Violet
City.
There are two routes leading from Violet City: Route 32 to the south and Route 36 through the gate building to
the west. Let's start west.
ROUTE 36:
Wild Pokemon: Pidgey, Hoothoot, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Vulpix, Growlithe, Stantler (rare). Level 6-11.
The way west is blocked. However, we can still visit the Ruins of Alph to the south.
RUINS OF ALPH:
Outside of the ruins itself is a Move Tutor for Wonder Room.
The cave contains nothing but Unown (Level 11). There are four items -- Leppa Berry is left from the entrance,
the other 3 (Stardust, Great Ball, and TM16 (Lunge)) are on the linear path through the ruins.
I suggest having an empty spot in your party. Catch one extra Unown, put it in the front spot and give it to the
man in the house next to the ruins to obtain a Psychic Gem.
That's all we can do here for now (though you might want to search the ruins for a while to register all 28 forms of
Unown into your Pokedex -- no need to catch or even defeat them, you just have to meet them), so return to
Violet City and go south to Route 32.
ROUTE 32:
Wild Pokemon: Hoothoot, *Mareep, *Sentret, Oddish, Diglett, Gloom, Primeape, Machoke, *Hitmonlee,
*Hitmonchan, Vileplume. Level 8-10.
Fishing: Magikarp and Goldeen.
Many new Pokemon here. Note that you can breed Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan with Ditto to obtain Tyrogue, who
you can then evolve into Hitmontop. That requires its ATK and DEF to be the same, so it might require some
finagling.
Talk to the first guy you meet to obtain a Miracle Seed. Then, fight three trainers.

Enter the cave (Charicific Valley). Before fighting the woman, go to the right to find TM43 (Flame Charge). You
won't be allowed to pass unless you have a Charizard with you. If you do, the woman will fight you.

AZALEA TOWN:
Weather forecast: Sometimes Rainy
West of the house with a yellow roof and a chimney is a Full Heal hidden in a rock. You can talk to the guy inside
of the house for a Charcoal.
There's also Slowpoke Well here, which is exactly what it says -- a small cave with nothing but Slowpokes inside.
If you want more Lagging Tails for some reason, this is the best place to farm them.
In the NW corner is Kurt's house. There's another Apricorn tree there. Unfortunately you can't get inside because
Brock blocks the door. Fight him and he'll move.
ICONIC BATTLE
Breeder Brock

Go inside and talk to Kurt. Give him your GS Ball and you'll get a Lure Ball and a Fast Ball in return.
You can now give Apricorns to Kurt and he'll make special Pokeballs from them:
Black Apricorn -> Heavy Ball
Blue Apricorn -> Lure Ball
Green Apricorn -> Friend Ball
Pink Apricorn -> Love Ball
Red Apricorn -> Level Ball
White Apricorn -> Fast Ball
Yellow Apricorn -> Moon Ball
Of course, you will eventually encounter a shop that sells these types of Poké Balls without going through any of
that "once per day" thing. And they are actually pretty cheap. So yeah, Kurt’s pretty useless.
Beat him for the Hive Badge and TM81 (X-Scissor). Azalea Town will be connected to the Johto teleport system.
Once you do both quests in this town (Gym and GS Ball handoff), you can leave through the western exit to Ilex
Forest.
Note Eevee, especially. You probably have, or can grab, evolution stones to get Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon.
Espeon and Umbreon require happiness and Eevee needs to be levelled up at day or night respectively.
There are 2 ways to get Leafeon: Use a Leaf Stone on Eevee, or level Eevee up near a Mossy Rock. The first
Mossy Rock is in Hoenn, so use a Leaf Stone if you want Leafeon now.
There are also 2 ways to get Glaceon (like Leafeon): Use an Ice Stone on Eevee, or level Eevee up near an Icy
Rock. Unlike Leafeon however, you can't obtain it right now since you can't actually buy Ice Stones until you get
to Sinnoh. Coincidentally, the first Ice Rock location is in Sinnoh so either way you'll have to wait until you can get
Glaceon.
For Sylveon, you need MAX friendship and a Fairy type move. This will have priority over Espeon and Umbreon,
so if you want either of them, make sure your Eevee doesn’t have any Fairy type moves.
Also note that Farfetch'd can have Leek -- try to get one from them for your own Farfetch'd!
Go to the left and grab a Full Heal hidden on the second empty tile from the left inside a grass patch. Continue
past another trainer.
MINOR ICONIC
Cool Trainer Miki
Skarmory LV 17
Then grab a visible item (Soothe Bell). Continue south and west to Pokemon Swap Meet.
A Pokemon Centre -- nothing too interesting. It's not even a part of the teleport system, but at least you can fly
there.
A guy who will battle you if you have a Tauros as your front Pokemon.
MINOR ICONIC
Cool Trainer Fernando
Tauros LV 45
When you beat him, he will give you a Life Orb. Afterwards, he'll offer to trade your Tauros for his Nidoqueen.
Sidenote: The Life Orb has been fixed as of 3.0 - the recoil for using it is now around 1/10th of your Pokemon's
HP rather than just 1 HP like it used to be.
Next is a girl who offers to trade your Corsola for her Lickitung.
Near the fountain are two more traders: one trades your Tauros for their Rhyhorn, and the other trades your
Ninetales for their Porygon (chance for those of you who didn't feel like grinding 9999 coins).
And further right is a guy who trades your Butterfree for his Bellossom.
The NW part has two more traders: your Teddiursa for his Igglybuff and your Mankey for her Aipom.
There's also a Biker Move Tutor who can teach your Pokemon the move Roost.
Aidan is at the burning house in NW corner (don't worry, it's just a drill). If you have a Squirtle, Wartortle, or
Blastoise with you, he will let you train your Pokemon, either here or at his home on Ascorbia Island. Like with
Anthony, the Pokemon deposited at one location can be picked up at another.
This is all here (no Incense shop, sadly). Continue NE to the next part of Ilex Forest.
Once you defeat her, you'll meet the ICONIC LV 15 Totodile -- another gift pokemon. This one even comes in a
fancy Lure Ball!
Head on up the path and choose the north branch, past another trainer.

standing by the gate that can teach your Pokemon Headbutt.
Head through the gate house to Route 34.

The patch of grass on the right of where you enter has a hidden Super Potion in the NW corner.
In the big grass patch on the left is a girl who will give you a Mystic Water.
Close to the fence, there's an empty tile in the grass. It hides a Rare Candy.
GOLDENROD CITY:
This is a big city with lots to do.
The house on the east side of the city has a retired Stats Judge, who became obsolete when you could see your
Pokémon’s IVs and EVs from the summary screen. However, if you talk to him, the next wild Pokémon you’ll find
will be a “Brilliant Pokémon”. And he’ll reset every day as well! I’ll refer to them as Brilliant Judges from now on.
Go to the Bike Shop. The guy inside will give you TM36 (Sludge Bomb).
A Move Tutor west of the Game Corner will teach your Pokemon Snatch.
The house in the NW part of the city has another Name Rater.
There is a tunnel connecting the north and south part of the city. 4 trainers are inside. From top to bottom, the
are:
Super Nerd Teru
Magnemite LV 17 x3
Voltorb LV 19
In a side branch is a Revive, and right left to it, a hidden Max Ether.
There is a Game Corner here, like in Celadon City. Its Pokemon are:
Igglybuff - 180 coins
Cleffa - 500 coins
*Larvitar - 2800 coins
*Gligar - 5500 coins
*Wobbuffet - 9999 coins
There will eventually be a gift Wynaut, so you don't have to get a Wobbuffet here. Larvitar and Gligar are also
catchable later; however, Gligar won't be catchable until 4th generation, so you might want to get one.
Next is the Department Store. It's similar to the one in Saffron City.
And that's all! The only thing to do is to hit the Gym. It contains 4 trainers plus Whitney.

ROUTE 35:
Wild Pokemon: Pidgey, Nidoran♀, *Yanma, Nidoran♂, Abra, Drowzee, Ditto, Hoothoot. Level 14-20.
Note that Yanma can hold a new item, Wide Lens -- you might want to grab one. But you have to go past 6 of the
8 trainers here to even get to some grass!

Once you beat her, you'll get the Plain Badge and TM45 (Attract). Goldenrod City will be added to the Johto
teleport system, but more importantly, the Magnet Train will now let you travel between Goldenrod City and
Saffron City! This cuts travel time between regions considerably since you no longer have to walk over the
Pokemon-infested route between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City.
Finally, the guy on Route 36 FINALLY found his Pokeball and no longer blocks the route, so technically you could
skip the rest of the trainers on Route 35 - but where’s the fun in that?

Bug-catching Contest: Pineco, Weedle, Beedrill, Caterpie, Paras, Venomoth, Scyther, Spinarak, Pinsir. Level 15-
18.
On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday the Bug-catching contest takes place. You enter the Park with a single
Pokemon and use Sport Balls to catch various Bug types. Note that you might try to get a Shed Shell from
Venomoths here. If you win, you get a random evolution stone. This can be:
Fire Stone, Thunder Stone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, or Sun Stone (we can already buy those).
Moon Stone (we can steal these from Clefairy and Clefable).
Dusk Stone, Dawn Stone, Shiny Stone, Oval Stone (we can't buy these yet; note that Oval Stone is necessary to
evolve Happiny, if you got one).
Second prize is Everstone, third prize Sitrus Berry, and the consolation prize is Shed Shell.
Once you beat her, she will give you a Quick Claw if you give her a Beedrill. Do so if you catch an extra Beedrill in
the Contest.
Apart from the contest, Sunkern might hold a Coba Berry, a new type.

The fenced area contains two hidden items. Their location is hard to describe (you might want to use the
Itemfinder here), but I'll try:
To find the first item, line yourself horizontally with the right edge of the grass patch to the south. The line yourself
vertically with the top right flower in the meadow to the right. You are now standing one tile south of the item (X
Attack).
The second item is three tiles southwest from the first item. It's a PP Up.
Apart from these two hidden items, there's also a visible item in the grass patch further south. It's a Nugget.
In the NW corner of the route is a house. Once you enter, you have to beat five trainers inside in order to get to
the prize (a King's Rock). You are suggested to bring a heavy Pokemon. The heaviest Pokemon that you can
have at this point is a Snorlax (460.0 kg), which is what Ash chooses to use in the anime. Second best choice is
Steelix (if you have stolen some Metal Coats and evolved an Onix) with 400.0 kg, and third best choice is Golem
(300.0 kg). It will somewhat help against Heavy Slams you'll face here, but it's far from necessary.

A girl at the south edge of the town will give you a Soothe Bell. This item increases happiness when a Pokemon
holds it -- you can use it to more easily achieve happiness evolutions.

Once you talk to Jasmine, take the lift down by talking to the sailor in front of it. The ship in the harbour will take
you to Cianwood City!
CIANWOOD CITY:
Fishing: Poliwag and Shellder.
There is a move tutor for Earth Power northwest of where you land.
Two of the rocks here contain hidden items: Go north from where you landed, then left when you hit the sea. First
rock you pass directly next contains a Max Ether. Then go to the very north of the city, but talk to a Seadra on the
way for a Water Gem. There are four rocks on a ledge. A Revive is hidden in the second rock from the left. Also
be sure to grab the light clay right next to it.
A house with a sign is a Pharmacy. Talk to the clerk to send medicine to Jasmine's Ampharos. You can also buy
stuff here:
Energy Powder - 500
Heal Powder - 450
Energy Root - 800
Revival Herb - 2800
Poke Ball - 200
Herbs are powerful, but they decrease the happiness of Pokemon you use them on, so bear that in mind.

After you beat him, TR will leave, letting you meet, fight, and capture Lugia. Be sure to save the game first. It's
only level 35 while previous legendaries were 50, so it will be a bit easier. However, it does have Safeguard,
which means that you won't be able to paralyze it, put it to sleep, etc.
Note: If you want catching Lugia even easier, wait until you get access to specialised balls. I recommend using
Heavy Balls if you decide to wait.
There are several new things now. For one, you can go back to Olivine City by going back to Red Rock Isle then
taking the other boat. The same boat will also now connect to Cianwood City, Red Rock Isle, and Vermilion City
(and the ship in Vermilion City that goes to Cinnabar Island and Valencia Island will now travel to Olivine City as
well).
But more importantly, the next part of the Safari Zone is unlocked!
Wild Pokemon: Elekid, Magby, *Smoochum, Houndour, Mareep, *Shuckle, Jumpluff, Murkrow, Furret, Larvitar,
*Misdreavus (rare), Wobbuffet (rare). Level 30-38.
Fishing: Wooper and *Chinchou.
We never found Jynx, so this is the first encounter with that family. Elekid and Magby are new if you haven't bred
Electabuzz and Magmar. Lots of Pokemon to catch, at any rate.
There are also 3 items here - a Zinc, a Thunder Stone and a hidden Nugget. To find the Nugget, start by going 2
steps to the right and 4 steps up from the top right corner of the 2x2 square of sand on the left side of the area. It
will be in the tile in front of you.
Once you're done, return to Olivine City. Both Olivine City and Cianwood City are now accessible through Johto

kick you out of the battle. Although you can catch them now, I would recommend waiting until you can get access

you might want to grab a Tyrogue if you haven't bred your own yet.
First of all, grab a Max Potion hidden in a boulder north of you. Then talk to the gentleman; he will give you an
ICONIC Phanpy egg (it will hatch pretty quickly, too).
There's also a Day Care here, mysteriously connected to all other Pokemon training spots.

Torchic LV 5
Grab the Poke Ball with the Gift Torchic. The teleport in Professor Birch's Lab will now connect you with similar
teleports in Kanto, Orange Islands, and Johto for fast inter-regional travel.
The north exit was previously blocked, but once you talk to Birch, you can go up to Route 101.
ROUTE 101:
Wild Pokemon: *Poochyena, *Duskull, Marill, Wingull, Azurill, Azumarill. Level 3-5.
Fishing: Wingull and *Relicanth.
Short route. An old guy on the right will give you TM41 (Leaf Blade).
OLDALE TOWN:
Nothing here apart from a person who will tell you about how trade evolutions work in Fire Ash. Unlike his other
friends, he tells you about trade evolutions for Gen 3 pokemon (hopefully you’re starting to see the pattern here).
ROUTE 102:
Wild Pokemon: Poochyena, *Zigzagoon, *Ralts, *Wurmple, *Lotad, *Seedot, *Surskit. Level 3-5.
Here you can also find the first instance of a "Berry Patch", which usually contain berries that are hard to come
buy without buying them. In this berry patch, you can find 2 Oran Berries, 2 Pecha Berries and a whooping 80
Kelpsy Berries! Get used to these quantities!
PETALBURG CITY:
Fishing: Magikarp and Goldeen.
Nothing here right now apart from a hidden Great Ball. It is hidden in the middle flower in the top row in the flower
bed south of the Pokemon Centre.
You can talk to May by the water if you want to, but she doesn't do much other than welcome you to her
hometown.
As you prepare to head west out of town, you'll run into Norman, the Gym Leader. He won't let you battle him
officially for a badge yet, but he will have a short match with you.

Level 4-8.
There’s a Moss Rock here, so you can obtain Leafeon if you hate Leaf Stones for whatever reason. Simply level
up an Eevee here.
You start near an item (an Antidote). Continue right along the way. When you reach the second grass patch,
search an empty corner (top tile in a 1x3 rectangle of non-grass) for a Poke Ball. From there head left to find an
ICONIC LV 5 Taillow. Go back the way you came and you'll find a trainer there on the northern path, but pass him
by for now.
Continue right and down. Jump the ledge and grab an item (another Antidote). When you exit the grass patch, go
down and left to find an ICONIC LV 5 Treecko.
Jump down the ledge and go left and up to get out of the woods. You'll have to beat the first trainer though. He's
the pokemon poacher that Jessie and James sacrificed their Weezing and Arbok to stop.

But wait, there's more! Go to the Devon Corporation and talk to the guy in the upper right part of the lobby to
obtain another Exp. Share -- those always come in handy.
The Devon Corporation upstairs has a Team Aqua member (will be abbreviated TA from now on) trying to cause

GYM LEADER BRAWLY Round 1 (2v2)
Machop LV 13
Makuhita LV 14
When you beat him, he'll tell you to fight him again on Route 106. The only way from the town is the Granite
Cave, so go there.
GRANITE CAVE:
Wild Pokemon: Loudred, *Aron, *Makuhita, *Sableye, Abra, *Mawile, Geodude. Level 9-12.
Notice the Loudred. Whismur, its lowest evolutionary stage, CAN be obtained eventually, but it will take a long
time - you might prefer to just breed a Loudred.
From the start, go right and down into a dead end with a Rare Candy hidden in a rock.
Then go left. You'll find Steven at the end of the path. He will give you a hint as to where the stairs to the upper
portion of the cave is, as well as TM110 (Steel Wing).
Go up a bit to a cliff. Stand on the tile right to a pile of rocks and search the cliff. You'll find stairs.
Go right from the stairs all the way to the end to find an Everstone. Then go back left and down at the end to
reach the exit to Route 106.
ROUTE 106:
Weather forecast: Heavy rain
Fishing: *Corphish and *Carvanha.
Careful! The moment you'll exit the Granite Cave, you'll get ambushed by Brock. Beat him.

Go west into the trees. You'll appear in a separate part of Route 106 where you can fight Brawly and defeat him
for the 2nd time.
ICONIC BATTLE
GYM LEADER BRAWLY Round 2 (2v2)
Machop LV 13
Hariyama LV 16
He will give you the Knuckle Badge and TM52 (Focus Blast). (Note that you can't catch anything when fishing in
this portion of Route 106).
Now that you've defeated Brawly, the Hoenn teleport system will now connect to Dewford Town. At this point, you
can also go back to Littleroot Town - the Taillow that gave you the Chople Berry before has now evolved into a
Swellow that gives you a Figy Berry. In addition, Mr. Briney's ship will now take you to a new location: Route 109.
ROUTE 109:
Weather forecast: Occasionally Sunny
Fishing: Wingull and Tentacool.
Once you go up, you'll immediately get into a battle with a trainer.
Sailor Huey
Wingull LV 12
Machop LV 12
Then go up and left - in the NW corner of SW step-like shore is a hidden Heart Scale.
Go a bit up, then go left and check the middle of another shelter for a PP Up.
Fight him, then talk to him for a Fresh Water (he will sell them afterwards). Also, check both pedestals by this
shack! The left one contains a Soft Sand, while the right one has a Big Pearl.
That's all that can be done here; continue north to Slateport City.
SLATEPORT CITY:
On the left side is a MARKET. It has to be written in all caps, since it's a really great MARKET selling lots of
strange and wonderful items.
So, there's finally a permanent Incense shop, but the most interesting shops are definitely Poke Ball shop and
Evolution shop. This is a good time to mention what you need them for. Many evolutions in main series games
work by trading, but you can find changes to how trade evolutions work in Fire Ash by talking to a specific person
in the 2nd place of every region. Alternatively you can read the file in the Helpful Notes folder from where you
load up your game on called “Pokemon Fire Ash Evolution Changes''.
Either buy them in advance, or return here when you want to evolve one of these Pokemon. For extra information
on how to evolve these pokemon, check out Pokemon Fire Ash Evolution Changes.txt.
Now for the Poke Balls. The important stat for a Poke Ball is its "catch rate", which states how much better it is
than a standard Poke Ball. At this point, our basic type is Ultra Ball with a catch rate of 2.
Lure Ball: The catch rate is 4 while fishing, so unless your Pokemon is less than 2 times the level of the wild
Pokemon, use a Level Ball instead.
Moon Ball: Has a catch rate of 4 if you use it on a Pokemon from a family that evolves with a Moon Stone, that is
Nidoran (both genders), Clefairy, Jigglypuff, Skitty, Munna and their relatives. This is pretty niche, seeing that at
this point you are probably only missing Skitty and Munna, and even for them, Level Ball might be as good or
better.
Friend Ball: Has a catch rate of 1 (like a standard Poke Ball) but comes with an extra effect: The caught
Pokemon's happiness becomes 200. Which saves some time, at most. Not a priority.
Love Ball: Has a catch rate of 8 if you use it on something of the same species and opposite gender as your
Pokemon, which is not really something practical. Perhaps you could use it in conjunction with the Cute Charm
ability (which improves a chance of meeting opposite-gender Pokemon) if you want to obtain a rare gender of
some species.
Heavy Ball: Instead of having a flat catch rate, it gives additive bonuses based on the opponent's weight. Could
be useful for some heavy Legendaries, as well as Rock and Steel Pokemon in general.
Fast Ball: Has a catch rate of 4 if you want to catch a very fast Pokemon (base Speed stat 100 or higher). You
don't need Fast Balls for normal Pokemon, but some Legendaries have high Speed and Fast Balls might be a
good choice for them. I'll let you know when you meet them.
Repeat Ball: Has a catch rate of 3.5 if the Pokemon is already registered in your Pokedex as caught. If you are
just trying to fill the Pokedex, you won't find much use here.
Timer Ball - This is an interesting one: it improves its catch rate the longer the battle goes on. It starts with 1 and
improves roughly by 0.30 per turn. On the 5th turn, it's already better than Ultra Ball. If you let the battle go for 11
turns, Timer Balls will reach a catch rate of 4 and it will be twice as good as Ultra Ball. Buy a lot of Timer Balls -
they will be our main ammunition against Legendaries from now on. Just remember that if you have something
with better than double the level of the Legendary, Level Ball will still be better.
Nest Ball: This one works better on low-levelled Pokemon. The problem is that it won't have any special effects
on Pokemon of level 30 or higher, and against anything weaker, you should have something with high enough
level to reach a catch rate of 4 with Level Ball (Nest Ball will always have worse catch rate than 4, unless you
actually find a level 1 opponent). Don't bother with Nest Balls - Level Balls are superior AND cheaper!
Net Ball: This is basically a variant of Lure Ball. Catch rate is 3.5 on all Water types AND all Bug types. It's more
versatile than Lure Ball, but more expensive.
Dive Ball: Has a catch rate 3.5 on Pokemon while underwater. Waste of money.
Luxury Ball: Alternative to Friend Ball; while Friend Ball improves the initial happiness of the Pokemon, Luxury
Ball increases the rate it grows. All in all, neither seems too good, but Friend Ball gives you the benefits right
away AND is cheaper so avoid Luxury Ball unless you want to give your Pokemon some bling.
Heal Ball: Has a catch rate of 1 and heals caught Pokemon. This is basically useless. The only use would be if
you wanted to use the captured Pokemon right away without sending it to the PC, and let's be honest, how useful
is THAT?
Quick Ball: Has a catch rate of 5 on the first turn of a battle. There's probably no harm in maintaining a supply of
these. Throw one whenever you encounter a new Pokemon, and if it won't work (not even the high catch rate will
help much if the Pokemon is not weakened at all), just switch to other balls.
Recommendations:
1. Grab some Quick Balls, but don't go overboard.
2. Buy lots of Level Balls and use them as your default Poke Balls from now on.
3. Buy lots of Timer Balls and use them to catch Legendary Pokemon. Buy Fast Balls for fast Legendary
Pokemon and Heavy Balls for heavy Legendaries (those should help a ton).
4. Get some Lure Balls and Dusk Balls, MAYBE some Net Balls. You can use those when their conditions are
met, but if your Pokemon has more than twice the level of target, Level Balls will STILL be better.
5. Ignore the rest, or use them as novelty.
Once we're done with the MARKET, head to the eastern side of the city. There are several Team Magma (will be
abbreviated TMg, so that they are not confused with TMs) grunts guarding the Museum. Beat them.

After you beat Tabitha, head inside the museum, where they will tell you that, despite being beaten, TMg
managed to steal a rock sample. There's nothing we can do about it right now, so let's head back outside.
Go up north past the Pokémon Center. There’s a Graveler that’ll give you a Quick Powder. The leftmost side of
that row has another Name Rater. The way north is blocked by a guy who wants us to support his girlfriend in a
Pokemon Contest, so go there (it's the house in the NW corner of the city). Before you enter, chat with the guy
standing beside the Contest Hall and fight him.

ROUTE 110:
Wild Pokemon: Oddish, Zigzagoon, *Plusle, Poochyena, Wingull, *Electrike, *Minun, *Gulpin. Level 12-14.
Fishing: Tentacool and Magikarp.
Note that this route has a magnetic field - Magneton and Nosepass will evolve if you level them up here.
In the first grass patch to the right of the main path, there'll be another trainer.
MINOR ICONIC
Youngster Marius
Spheal LV 14
First of all, go north until you come to a house. There's a guy in front of it who will give you a quiz. The correct
answers are:
1. Muk
2. Yellow
3. Illumise
Well, not exactly. Most fishing areas you have encountered until now have Good Rod catching the same two
Pokemon as the Old Rod, with the only difference being that Old Rod has 7:3 chance of Common vs. Uncommon
catch while Good Rod has 8:2 (so if you want the uncommon type, Old Rod is actually better!). Only a handful of
areas have something new.
Pallet Town: Good Rod allows you to catch Tangela, Goldeen, or Poliwag.
Route 25: Good Rod allows you to catch Dragonite.
Safari Zone Kanto: Good Rod allows you to catch Seadra, Dragonair, and Tentacruel.
Safari Zone Johto: Good Rod allows you to catch Quagsire, Lanturn, or *Mantine.
Blackthorn City: Good Rod allows you to catch Horsea and Poliwag instead of Magikarp and Poliwag.
Route 110 (where you are now): Good Rod allows you to catch *Wailmer and Tentacool.
And that's all - all other areas have nothing new compared to Old Rod. So grab a Mantine and a Wailmer.
Remember that Mantine can be bred with Wave Incense to obtain Mantyke. In order to evolve Mantyke, you need
to have a Remoraid in your party, so if you already evolved it into Octillery, you'll need to get another one.

entire game, so I'll start ranking these. This one's an 11/10. Previous one's a 6/10.
The Contest Hall (the middle building in the upper row) has some flowers in front of it; the left patch hides a
Nugget. Beside the hall is a trainer who wants to battle before the contest. The left house in the upper row has a
Move Maniac. In the SE corner is a Move Tutor for Dragon Ascent. Dragon Ascent is Rayquaza’s signature
move, and in Fire Ash, it doesn’t allow Rayquaza to mega evolve - you will eventually get a held item that will

FIERY PATH:
Wild Pokemon: *Slugma, Grimer, Koffing, *Numel, *Torkoal. Level 16-18.
A simple linear path with nothing of interest, apart from the wild Pokemon. If you haven't bread Magcargo, this is
your chance to get a Slugma. Also, note that you will receive a Gift Torkoal very soon (after the next gym), so
there’s not much point in catching one now.

VERDANTURF TOWN:
Unlike other towns, this one does not have an accessible Pokemon Centre or Poke Mart, as they are apparently
both being boycotted. Instead there are people outside the entrance who will perform the same functions,
although the one outside the Poke Mart only sells berries.
There are three houses in the southern part of town. The hiker in the middle house gives you an Elixir, and the
hiker in the south-eastern house gives you an Ether.
That's all that we have here, let's head back to Mauville and then east to Route 118.

There is a Berry Patch containing 10 Sitrus Berries (in total) northwest of Volt. 3/10 patch.
There are also three other items: a visible Leaf Stone in the eastern part, a hidden Heart Scale and a hidden Iron.
To get the Heart Scale, go to the southeastern corner of the beach, then check the tile between the two boulders.
For the Iron, go north at the eastern edge of the beach, then west. Three boulders are close to the western edge
of this platform; an Iron is hidden in the middle one.

This is a long route. First, you'll come to a big grass patch with two trainers and a visible Elixir as well as a Berry
Patch containing 5 Sitrus Berries and 7 Leppa Berries. 4/10, it's a decent patch.

Then you get to a winding bridge (seriously, who builds a winding bridge???) with three more trainers.
Fisherman Eugene
Magikarp LV 32
Tentacool LV 28
Carvanha LV 27
Feebas LV 30
Past the bridge, go immediately right to the berry patch for 8 Hondew Berries and 80 Charti Berries. Pretty good
patch, especially if you use Fire/Flying types a lot. 6/10 patch. Then go left to the trees and check the empty tile
north of you (in the corner) for a hidden Full Heal, guarded by another trainer.
Bug Catcher Gregory
Volbeat LV 28
Illumise LV 28
When you get to the fork, go right (the way north just leads to the bottom of a cliff). There will be a short bridge
with a single trainer.

couch is now a Move Tutor for the move Swift. By the bed and PC is another guy who will give you a Damp Rock.
After, grab a Rare Candy in the NW corner. Then go right to find the last trainer to Fortree City, as well as a Berry
Patch containing 6 Pomeg Berries and 80 Spelon and Magost Berries. Welp, that's a whole lot of nothing. -5/10
patch.
Painter Tasha
Mr. Mime LV 28
Sudowoodo LV 28
Smeargle LV 28
FORTREE CITY:
A guy in the Pokemon Centre offers you a Gift Chimecho. It's actually a Hoppip, but seeing that they are quite
rare at the only place with Hoppip, you might want to get it anyway.
The treehouse next to Pokemon Centre has a sleeping guy who is the Move Tutor for Sleep Talk.
The treehouse next to Poke Mart has a guy who will give you a Moon Stone.
Go right from this treehouse (the way right from the first one is blocked for now). Talk to the guy on the next
platform for TM10 (Hidden Power). Moving along the path, you'll get to Brock.
ICONIC BATTLE:
Breeder Brock
Forretress LV 44

A long north-south route. At the start, there is a Berry Patch containing 4 Wepear Berries, 6 Razz, Nanb and
Pecha Berries, 8 Pinap Berries (in total) and 80 Passho, Wacan, Chople and Kebia Berries! 10/10 patch, let's

Continue south along the path through several grass patches. There's another Berry Patch here, containing 3

Right at the start, you will find a healer and a Berry Patch containing 2 Chesto Berries, 5 Aspear Berries, 6
Persim and Rawst Berries and 80 Colbur and Chilan Berries. Decent patch, but not as good as the first patch
from the previous route. 6/10 patch.
NE from you are twin trainers and there is an Escape Rope hidden in a NE corner next to them.
Twins Maddie & Allie
Spinda LV 30
Slaking LV 32
When you get to the stairs, go down and left to fight another trainer.
Gentleman Elijah
Camerupt LV 32
There's a Carbos hidden two tiles right and one tile up from the default position of that trainer.
The guy up the stairs from here is not actually a trainer, so don't bother talking to him. Just go back down and
continue along the path where you'll encounter another trainer.
Pokemon Breeder Vanessa
Pikachu LV 31
After that, the path turns north. At the fork, go left and fight a trainer.
Pokemon Breeder Myles
Wingull LV 25
Numel LV 25
Zigzagoon LV 25
Electrike LV 25
Tropius LV 25
Return past the previous trainer. The fence to the north has a break in it at one point. Go north through the hole
until you reach the flower, then search the flower west of you for a Zinc. To the left of that, there is a visible Soul
Dew.
Lastly, there's another Berry Patch to end this route. This one contains 6 Nanab Berries, 80 Micle, Tanga, Haban
and Bluk Berries! Great patch - 8/10.
LILYCOVE CITY:
A guy south from the entrance will give you TM71 (Stone Edge).
The Contest Hall has a Move Tutor for Magic Coat and a trainer to battle.
Lass Kelly
Grumpig LV 32
The rightmost house in the top row has a second Brilliant Judge. Bear in mind that he, nor any others, will spawn
extra Brilliant Pokémon if you’ve already encountered one in a day.
The beach has a lot of boulders on it; three of them contain Heart Scales: the very leftmost one, the second
rightmost one, and the one almost directly SW from the second one. All three items are Heart Scales.
Near the lighthouse is a Farfetch’d that gives you yet another Leek.

Alright, now that we found a store that sells all the evolution stones (except Ice Stone which isn't used until Gen 4
to get Glaceon), let's just have a quick run of which Pokemon need them so you'd know how many of each you
should get.

Although you can choose whichever route you want, battling with TA gives you the highest exp yield, thanks to all
the Walrein they have.
Regardless of which team you choose, after you beat them, you will have to face Groudon, and then Kyogre.
Both are LV 35. Both of them are pretty heavy so you'll get bonuses from using Heavy Balls, although Groudon
weighs more than Kyogre so it will have a higher bonus. However, their base Speed is under 100 so Fast Balls
won't work well here.
Note that Kyogre has Aqua Ring for healing and Groudon has Rest.
Once they're caught, Lance thanks you and leaves, letting you go back to the captain who will now take you to
Mossdeep City.
MOSSDEEP CITY:
Fishing (Old Rod): Tentacool and Wingull.
Fishing (Good Rod): Wailmer and Sharpedo.
Go north on the beach. You'll encounter a Mudkip that’ll give you a Pearl, a Move Tutor for Dynamic Punch and
find a Big Pearl at the end of the path.
On the tile left from Steven Stone's mailbox is a hidden Star Piece. Inside the house, Steven will give you a LV 30
Beldum.
A guy on the plateau in the SE part of the island will give you a King's Rock.
The left house on the plateau in the NE part of the island contains two vendors. The left one sells:
Net Ball - 1000
Dive Ball - 1000
Lure Ball - 200
On the raised ground before reaching the Space Centre, there is a hidden Iron in the top left corner.
A guy blocking the elevator door in the Space Centre will give you a Sun Stone.
The gym in this city is full of teleporters, similar to Saffron City. This time, the rooms are not in any particular grid,
so I'll just list them by letters:
Room B: Three trainers, two of which can be fought as a double battle. Teleporters to Room A (NW corner),
Room C (SW corner) and Room D (SE corner).

The next town is Sootopolis and if you ask around, you'll learn about a Psychic who can teleport you there. He's
in the SE part of the island. Talk to him and get teleported to...
At the top of the island is a ferry back to Mossdeep City if you need to go back.
The Contest Hall has another Move Tutor, this time for Skill Swap. There's also a battle with Harley from the

south, a second Hard Stone roughly in the middle, and a Safety Goggles in the very north.

In addition, there are two items: Never-Melt Ice and Bright Powder. Apart from a few ice puzzles, nothing major.
Note: The only puzzle that might present some difficulties is how to pass the second ice field. Do it like this:
1. Get the Bright Powder -- that is the easy part since most ways through the field can get you in this area.
2. Go to the left edge of this area, second tile from the bottom.
3. Go left, down, and right to end up at the correct exit.
Not much else to do here. Talk to the sailor in the NE corner to be offered a ride - you can go to Mossdeep,
Izabe, or Sootopolis.
Talking to this sailor unlocks the ferry system around Izabe Island. The right ship in Mossdeep City can now take
you to Izabe Front (start of the island) or Izabe Back (here), and the ship at the start of the island can now take
you here as well as back to Mossdeep City. Similarly, the "Izabe" choice on this ride will take you to the start of
the island.
SOOTOPOLIS CITY:

When you defeat him, you'll receive the Rain Badge and TM96 (Razor Shell).
Go to the Pokemon Centre. You'll learn that May wants you to come to Pacifidlog Town.
Beating Juan also updated the Hoenn teleport system again. Also, if you go to Fallarbor Town, you will find a LV
50 Jirachi next to the Contest Hall! Catch it!
Note that Jirachi has a base Speed of 100, meaning that Fast Ball has a bonus against it. However, don't use
Heavy Balls -- despite Jirachi being a Steel type, it's actually very light.
Also note that you might need multiple attempts. You can't just throw Jirachi to 1 HP using False Swipe -- it has
Double-Edge and can accidentally KO itself.
Take the ship from Sootopolis City to Pacifidlog Town (note that you must get the scene in the Pokemon Centre
first).
PACIFIDLOG TOWN:

Alright, so we've got to Top 8 (where we're stopping). When you go out, one of Professor Oak's assistants meets
you and asks you to go see the Professor. The ship in Ever Grande Conference will now take you straight to
Littleroot Town, so you can just teleport to Pallet Town and go visit him. He will tell you that the Battle Frontier has
opened in Kanto. So, the third generation is not over yet - we still have to deal with this before we get to Sinnoh!
But before we start with Kanto Battle Frontier, some new Legendary Pokemon can now be obtained! But even
before THAT, you can fight Tracey on the ground floor of Oak's lab.

And now, remember the Pidgeotto that was near the bottom row of houses in Pallet Town? It’s now evolved into a

Now go to Route 121 (west of Lilycove City). Go west until you find the fishing platform (if you were catching
Clamperl/Luvdisc here, you know where it is). Latias and Latios are now on this platform and you can fight them
and catch them.
Both Latias and Latios are fast, so Fast Balls are preferable. They are troublesome because they both know
Recover (so it's hard to keep them at low HP) and Psycho Shift (so they can pass status problems to your
Pokemon instead).
You can now fight Agatha from the Elite Four who stands in front of it.

Then you get to an area with a vendor and TM106 (Bullet Punch).
Inside looks like a smaller version of the various Pokemon Leagues -- you have a Poke Mart and a Pokemon
Centre in there, and a guy who lets you in to fight.
Note that despite what people here say, you don't get any rental Pokemon -- you fight Noland with your normal
team.

Articuno LV 50
Beating him will get you the Knowledge Symbol, and instructions to go to the next challenge in Saffron City.
SAFFRON CITY:
First of all, do you remember the Growlithe near the Magnet Train station? He’s also evolved into an Arcanine
and now gives you a Choice Band. Next, go to the Fighting Dojo. It was the previous Gym in Saffron City (before
Sabrina came). Now that you've beaten Noland, it's finally open to us! It contains 5 trainers.

There's a Move Tutor for Volt Tackle in the gate building. Go south to Route 12.

Afterwards, you can accept several eggs. If you want to take them, remember that the Breeding Center has a PC.
It also has a healer inside.
So, there's a total of 9 eggs you can get (despite the claims that they will give you one as a gift, you can grab all
nine). They are: Cleffa, Eevee, Igglybuff, Pichu, Magby, Makuhita, Smoochum, Vulpix, and Elekid. You probably
don't NEED any of them (maybe except Eevee since you need a LOT of those to complete the Pokedex), but
hey, they are free.
The SW corner of the island (before the pier) has a hidden Iron.
Three more trainers and then you can leave south to Route 13.

In the NW corner, there’s a visible Wise Glasses, then next to a ledge, is a hidden Zinc (it's on the tile you have to
go through in order to reach the grass patch). In the SW corner, there's 5 Pinap Berries hidden in a flower
(second flower from the left in the top row).
In the SE corner of this Route is Celebi! Fight and catch it. Celebi's Speed Stat is 100, so Fast Balls work on it.
Actually, it shouldn't be that hard -- Celebi has a much higher catch rate than most Legendaries.
This Route is divided into upper and lower levels -- you have to enter Route 15 from the right to get to the upper
level. Before you do though, make sure to fight the trainer in the middle of the levels.
The upper level has 4 trainers (two of them are a double battle) and a Rock Incense at the end.

corner. It has five "paths", reached by talking to the five attendants on the top. The "correct" path is the second
one from the right -- that leads to the boss. But you might want to explore the four other paths first -- they lead to
two trainers and two items: a Sacred Ash and a Max Revive.
Poke Maniac Ace

Battle Palace itself is very simple. Just a healer, a PC, and a way to fight Spenser.

Bidoof. Level 8-13.
Fishing (Old Rod): Goldeen and Quagsire.
Fishing (Good Rod): Whiscash and Wooper.
When catching a Combee, make sure you get a female! Only female Combees can evolve. The best way to
ensure it is to have a male Pokemon with Cute Charm ability leading the party. The possible Pokemon with this
ability that you can have at the moment are Clefairy line, Jigglypuff line, Skitty line, and maybe Sylveon or
Lopunny if you've evolved one. All those Pokemon can have another ability and/or be female, so look through
your collection to see what you have.
Right at the start, there's a Berry Patch containing 10 Oran Berries. 2/10 patch. Let’s hope that future Sinnoh
berry patches are better than this…
This is a big and fairly open route. You'll encounter 8 trainers as you make your way north.

ETERNA FOREST:
Wild Pokemon: Combee, *Burmy, Caterpie, Ledyba, Shroomish, Sunkern, Kakuna, Gloom, Vespiquen. Level 8-
13.
Note Burmy. You might want more of those because it can evolve in several different ways: males evolve into
Mothim (Bug/Flying), but females evolve into Wormadam whose type depends on the "cloak" your Burmy has --
fighting in grass will make it evolve into Bug/Grass, fighting in caves into Bug/Ground, and fighting in cities into
Bug/Steel.
Eevee will evolve into Leafeon if you level it up here as there is a Mossy Rock here.

how you answer his question). On the top floor is a trader who will trade your Buizel for his Chatot.
Near the Gym is a group of Combee with a Vespiquen. The bottom right one in the group will give you a Honey.
The Gym only has Gardenia -- or so it seems. She wants you to beat her trainers first, so use the teleport, fight
the three trainers there, and then fight Gardenia.

The Sinnoh teleport system gets updated. Also, the roadblock on Route 205 gets cleared, so you don’t have to
travel through Eterna Forest anymore.
There are two possible ways to continue, east to Route 211 or south to Route 206. Go to Route 206 -- Route 211
will be quite some time later.
ROUTE 206:

the PP Up. Fight the six trainers, grab the Sky Plate, and leave at the south end.

Note 2: This route has a magnetic field -- Magneton and Nosepass will evolve if you level them up here.
Note 3: You need to beat Gardenia before you get here -- otherwise, the path will be blocked by rocks.
From the start, go west around the trees. You'll find a Great Ball hidden in the NW corner of this alcove.
Then, go down the stairs in the SW part and grab a Timer Ball at the NW corner of the area with the grass patch.

The house right from the Poke Mart is a Pokemon Fan Club and it has a Brilliant Judge. The house left from the
Poke Mart has a girl who will give you TM104 (Air Slash).
Since the Gym is inaccessible and all ways out (including the Pokemon Centre teleport) are blocked, let's go to
the big building -- the Battle Hall!
BATTLE HALL:
Talk to the girl behind the counter to register. Then talk to Paul (if you forgot how he looks, he's the purple-haired
guy on the left side). Talk to the attendant to go to the first match. The battles here are 2v2, and you always have
an ally (in Paul) who sends out his own Pokemon.

need to have an empty spot in your active party).
Talk to Paul inside Battle Hall again and go fight the third battle.

Go even further west and grab a Heart Scale hidden in the lone boulder by the rock face.
The tile in front of the door hides a Max Revive. Inside is Dr. Footstep who will tell you about the happiness of
your Pokemon.
Note that if he judges a Pokemon as "super friendly", it means that happiness is at max. Such Pokemon are
eligible to get a Footprint Ribbon from him, and if it evolves by happiness, it will definitely evolve upon levelling
up.
If he says that a Pokemon is "quite friendly", it MIGHT be able to evolve (if it evolves by happiness). It's not
guaranteed, but even if it can't evolve yet, it only has a short way to go.
From the house, continue east. Turn north at the first boulder and search the next boulder you come to for
another Heart Scale. Fight the trainer in the area.

Yellow Shard in this area and 2 Berry Patches: the western one has 3 Iapapa Berries and 3 Rawst Berries, and

the previous patches?). Anyway, 4/10 patch.

This is a fairly small city with its Gym in the middle.
The guy close to the Pokemon Centre will give you a Fire Stone.
The girls in the NW house are traders: one will trade her Electivire for your Magmar, and the other will trade her
Magmortar for your Electabuzz. The NE house has a Move Maniac.

Now you have two possible paths: the upper path, or the lower path across the beach. Let's start with the upper
path.
First of all, there's a Berry Patch with 3 Wiki, Mago, Aguav and Qualot Berries. 5/10 patch, these are some nice
berries. This will be the last Berry Patch we'll be seeing in a while...
In front of it is an ICONIC LV 45 Gible. Then don't take the stairs but walk south of them. There's a Carbos in the
dead end.
Continue north towards a mansion. Inside, take the right passage and talk to the butler who reveals that the
mansion belongs to a guy with blue hair... sounds familiar. Regardless, head up into a room with a Max Revive,
then retrace your steps back to the main hall.
Heading down the left passage you'll fight Jessebelle who's waiting for her 'mystery' Fiance.

Continue east. Enter the grass and walk east and south to the end of the path for a Big Mushroom. You will also
find a LV 45 Rayquaza here. Be sure to catch it. Fast Balls are best.
Return to the stairs and take them, preparing for another normal day... until you black out. You come too, along
with Dawn and Brock, in the middle of a cave. The Lake Guardians need you!
Brock and Dawn deal with the grunts, leaving you to proceed on ahead, facing down TG.

You now come face to face with the Guardians of Time and Space - Dialga (LV 50) and Palkia (LV 50). Catch
them before dealing with Cyrus. They’re both heavy enough for Heavy Balls to be super effective.
Once you catch them, Cynthia and Looker congratulate you, and mention that Cyrus disappeared into the portal
that they created as well. Cynthia then guides you back outside.
You reappear on Route 222 down in the beach area, in front of the Air Battle Master's house, which also
functions as a Pokemon Day Care. The house next to him has a Move Tutor for Tailwind and a guy who will give
you three Nest Balls.
With Dialga and Palkia caught, we can go to Celestic Town with them. When you talk to the people in the Historic
Center, one will give you the Lustrous Orb for Palkia, and one will give you the Adamant Orb for Dialga (you have
to put the specific Pokemon in your front slot). You can always do this later if you find it inconvenient to do this
now.
Back on the beach, there are six trainers on the beach (plus one other guy).

ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Barry
Empoleon LV 48
Going into the Pokémon Center in Sunnyshore City and talking to the woman there tells us that some strange
energy has appeared on Route 207 from what happened at Spear Pillar (you can get there by going north from
Oreburgh City or talking to the girl with the Abra in Hearthome City). And it seems she’s right - a portal like the
one back at Spear Pillar has appeared. Let’s check it out first before exploring the rest of Sunnyshore City.
Well, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that Sinnoh in the past was known as Hisui. That’s right,
this is basically Hisui in Fire Ash. You’ll be able to obtain a lot of Hisuian forms by either catching some here or by
levelling up Pokémon with an evolution with a Hisuian form here. For example, levelling up a Quilava past LV 36
here will evolve it into a Hisuian Typhlosion.
Right beneath the portal is a Blank Plate, which powers up Normal type moves.
Then, in the corner, there’s 5 Peat Blocks, which can be used to evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna.
After that, go left to grab 5 Starf Berries and in the top corner, there’s 5 Black Augurites, which can be used to
evolve Scyther into Kleavor.
Lastly, go all the way right. Here you’ll find Enamorus, waiting for you to catch it.
Once you’ve done everything you’ve wanted to do here, head back to Sunnyshore City.
SUNNYSHORE CITY:
Fishing (Old Rod): Krabby and Corphish.
Fishing (Good Rod): Octillery, Politoed, and Lanturn.
The green Poke Mart clone is a Stone Shop. It has two clerks. The upper one sells:
Fire Stone - 2100
Water Stone - 2100
Thunder Stone - 2100
Leaf Stone - 2100
Moon Stone - 2100
This is the first place where you can get an Ice Stone, meaning that you can get a Glaceon by evolving Eevee
with an Ice Stone if you want to.
Next to the stone shop, you can grab the Zap Plate.
There's also a Thunder Stone, but you'll have to go around to get it -- and by that I mean that you'll have to go to
the NE corner of the city and follow the narrow path along the eastern edge.
On the eastern side of town, there is a ship guarded by a trainer, who will give you the Power Belt and the Power
Band.
MINOR ICONIC

Alright, so that's all Sinnoh gyms done, the Sinnoh teleport system is complete, and we can continue to the
League -- but before that, there's a whole lot of smaller things to do.
1. Dawn appears in the eastern part of the town, on the path to the Sinnoh League ship. Fight her.

2. The guy with a Skarmory close to the tower will now offer to fly you to the three lakes (Lake Verity, Lake Valor,
and Lake Acuity). You'll always end up on an island with the cave where you can find a Legendary Pokemon:
Lake Verity has Mesprit, Lake Valor has Azelf, and Lake Acuity has Uxie. All of them are LV 50.
3. Go back to Route 222 and go to the beach. There's a sandbar you can get to, which now has Heatran and
Shaymin, both LV 50.
4. You now get to go to the bottom of Mt. Coronet -- go to Hearthome City and talk to the girl with Abra in the SW
corner. You can find Giratina there at LV 50. This is also one of the places where you can evolve Magneton and
Nosepass since there is a magnetic field. There are no random battles, so you'd have to level them up using a
Rare Candy unless you want to get EXP by killing Giratina. (You don't.) Be sure to also grab the Griseous Orb in
the corner.
As for recommended Pokeballs, you should use Fast Balls for Azelf and Shaymin and Heavy Balls for Heatran
and Giratina. Mesprit and Uxie will probably be best dealt with with Timer Balls.
With everything done and eight new Legendary Pokemon, go to Sunnyshore City and take the ship to the Lily of
the Valley Island.
This island is formed from four smaller connected islands. You start at the SE island. The NE island has shops,
and by now you should know what they are.
The SW island has wild Pokemon for training. The NW island has the League building and another battle with
Brock.

All Pokémon in your party will have the Lily Ribbon afterwards.
That's as far as you can get. As usual, once you leave the island, you're no longer allowed to come back.
Return back home to Pallet Town and talk to Professor Oak to start Gen 5!
But before we go to Unova, there are a few more Legendary Pokemon to get:
1. Go to Lake Verity (through Route 201, west from Sandgem Town) and fight Manaphy there.
2. Go to Lake Valor and fight Arceus there. Put it in your party and give him various plates to register its different
forms in the Pokedex.
3. Go to Snowpoint City and talk to Brandon by the Temple. He’ll give you Regigigas.
Manaphy should be caught with Fast Balls while Heavy Balls are good for Arceus.
Now head to Pallet town and talk to Oak to get a new Gen 5 outfit and a new destination: Unova. You can also
put the Unova Cap on Pikachu from the right Cap Drawer in your room. Head to Viridian City and take the blimp
to -- Nuvema Town!
If you missed obtaining TM37 Sandstorm from Forrest (Brock's younger brother) in Brock's house in Pewter City,
you can now obtain it from Brock's younger sister Yolanda (who looks like a lass).
Outside the lab is Zekrom (LV 25) just chilling and waiting to be caught. Zekrom is heavy, so Heavy Balls are
recommended. There’s also a Pidove outside the lab that’ll give you a Shuca Berry.
The Lab has a healing machine, a PC, a Day Care guy, and a teleporter that connects to the labs in other regions
(and to your house). Back at Oak’s Lab, a guy will show up that’ll give you a Rotom Catalog to change Rotom’s
forms anywhere you’d like.
ROUTE 1:
Wild Pokemon: *Pidove, *Patrat, *Deerling, *Woobat, *Sandile. Level 2-4.
The first thing you will find is an ICONIC LV 2 Pidove. The second person you come to will give you a Potion.
After that, you'll see an ICONIC LV 5 Oshawott. Talk to it, then go back to Professor Juniper. Go talk to her and
she'll allow you to take the Oshawott. Then continue north, meet Iris and fight her.

The house in the NW corner has a guy who will give you a Poke Ball.
Go to the warehouse in the SW corner of the town for another battle with TR.

Basculin has three distinct forms (with red, blue and white stripes). You can only find white-striped Basculin in

Fishing (Good Rod): Swanna and Alomomola.
First of all, Darmanitan (evolved form of Darumaka) has a special "Zen Mode'' alternate form. You'll receive a Zen
Mode Darmanitan soon, and Darumaka and Darmanitan here will only have its normal ability. As for Scolipede,
that's actually a third-stage evolution. Don't worry, you will be able to get its base form, Venipede, pretty soon.
First thing you'll find here is a preschool up the stairs to the north. Fight the two trainers here.

base form, Gothita, soon.
This is another location where Eevee can evolve into Leafeon.
There are three items in this patch as well: a Super Potion is visible in the NW corner, but the other two items are
hidden:
Super Potion: Start in the NE corner and go west along the fence. Search the first clear tile you come to.
Ether: Start in the SE corner and go west along the fence. Search the second clear tile you come to.

This is just a long, narrow bridge. Second guy you come to will give you a Quick Claw.
CASTELIA CITY:
Now that's a lot of Venipedes. You can fight them, but there's no real point since they don't disappear after you
defeat them. For now, only one house and the Pokemon Centre are accessible -- all other places are blocked by
the Venipedes.
The Pokemon Centre has a guy who will give you a Zoom Lens. The house has another battle with TR.
ICONIC BATTLE

Woobat LV 18

Once you beat them, the Venipedes will disappear and you will be able to access the rest of the city.
The sailor in the SE corner will give you an evolution stone based on how you answer his question:
Pansage - Leaf Stone
Pansear - Fire Stone
Panpour - Water Stone
You can only do this once, but at this point, you can buy as many of these as you want, so it doesn't really matter
what you say.
A little girl on the central street will give you a Destiny Knot.
The guy in the NE corner of the city sells Casteliacones for 100 pokedollars. It's basically a Full Heal, except
much cheaper in exchange for only being available at one place.
So that's for the outside of the city, but what's in the buildings?

Wild Pokemon: *Emolga, *Cubchoo, *Joltik, *Audino, Scrafty, Mandibuzz, *Larvesta, Simisear, Scolipede. Level

Cubchoo is the base form of Beartic. Joltik is the base form of Galvantula you have probably met before. Scrafty
is the evolved form of Scraggy, but you should already get one from the egg the Day Care lady gave you.
Mandibuzz is the evolved form of Vullaby. It will take some time before you can catch a Vullaby, so if you want to
breed a Mandibuzz, that's also an option.
Finally, Simisear is the evolved form of Pansear. You'll be able to catch a Pansear soon.
There is a Move Tutor for Role Play to the left of the house. Enter the house (Club Battle). You need to fight four

There's also a vendor who sells berries out of a truck. Probably illegally harvested, I'd wager.
When you get to the bridge, talk to the guy there. If you have finished both the Nimbasa Gym AND the Battle
Subway, he'll let you cross. Continue west and talk to another bridge attendant to get to Driftveil City.
You can fish from the bridge, though the only Pokemon you can catch there with either rod is Ducklett.
DRIFTVEIL CITY:
The first house you come to has three Move Tutors, teaching Fire Pledge, Water Pledge, and Grass Pledge.
The girl outside the Market (looks like a Poké Mart) will give you a Big Pearl. The Market has three vendors: the
left one sells Moomoo Milk, the middle one sells bitter medicine, and the third one sells Incenses.

The Pokemon Centre has a trader who will trade his Zorua for your Minccino.
On the way to the gym, you'll run into a Move Tutor for the move Drill Run.
Finally, talk to Clay in front of the Gym. He doesn't want to fight cuz the world might be ending on Milos Island --
bummer. Go to the southern part of the city and talk to the sailor. He wouldn't help you before but now he'll take
you to Milos Island.
MILOS ISLAND:
Weather forecast: Stormy.
Wild Pokemon: Patrat, Pidove, Blitzle, Cottonee, Deerling, Darmanitan, Sawsbuck. Level 20-23.
Fishing (Old Rod): Basculin and Swanna.
Fishing (Good Rod): Swanna, Alomomola, and Basculin.
This island is one long, winding road with lots of trainers -- and there are also the three Legendary Forces of
Nature for you to capture (all three are fast, so Fast Balls are preferred). Tornadus and Thundurus are LV 32,
while Landorus is LV 35.
The sequence is 2 trainers:
Cool Trainer Victor
Pansear LV 24
Timburr LV 24
- Tornadus -
- Thundurus -
Once you fight Landorus, you'll be transported back to Driftveil City. You can still take the boat back, but the
trainers will be gone now and the weather will calm down -- the only reason to come back is to fight wild Pokemon
or fish.
Back in Driftveil City, fight Chili who now blocks the way to the Gym. Go inside.

Accelgor. Level 22-25.
Fishing (Old Rod): Panpour and Tympole.
Fishing (Good Rod): Tympole, Panpour, and Palpitoad.
Note that in order to evolve Shelmet and Karrablast, you must level them up when you have both in your party.
Both can evolve in the presence of either the base OR the evolved form of the other, so you can't miss on it.
Start by going west past a bridge. Fight a trainer in the first grass patch.
Pokemon Ranger Kutz
Zorua LV 3
The western edge of this patch has two clear spots, check the second tile from the north in the northern spot for a

Talk to the next guy to receive a Silk Scarf. Continue west past yet ANOTHER bridge (seriously, did someone get
a contract to build as many bridges as possible with no regards to practicality?), and fight a third trainer.

Deerling LV 27
Enter the house. One guy there will give you a Leaf Stone if you show him a Deerling.
Then you can grab two items: an Elixir in the grass to the south and a Hyper Potion -- that one requires to go

Then there's a house to the east. An old man there will heal your party.
Go up the stairs and you'll be in front of the Chargestone Cave. If you come here before beating Clay, the
entrance will be blocked, but now it's being guarded by an ICONIC LV 25 Krokorok. Talk to it and it will come with
you, along with the Black Glasses that it loves.
Before going to the cave, there's one more grass patch to the SE. It has a girl who will give you a Shiny Stone,
and a trainer in the dead end.
CHARGESTONE CAVE:
Wild Pokemon: This cave has three floors. All floors contain Joltik, *Klink, Klang, Galvantula, and Klinklang, but
each of them also has one Pokemon that only appears there. The unique Pokemon on 1F is *Druddigon, on B1F
it's Sigilyph, and on B2F it's Cofagrigus.
All three floors of the cave allow the evolution of Magneton and Nosepass since there is a magnetic field.
Start by going north. Turn west when you can to grab a Full Heal.
Continue north. You'll get to a crossroads. Go east to a small area with a trainer and a Revive.

After that are two ladders: one up, one down. The exit is past the up ladder, but let's go down first.
Eventually, you'll arrive at a crossroad where you can continue east or south.
The eastern branch ends with a room that contains two visible items: a Lucky Egg and a Bright Powder. But that's
not all -- there's also a Full Heal hidden on the tile between them.
The southern branch has another trainer and TM57 (Charge Beam).
Cool Trainer Stella

Continue east and turn north to reach a dead end. The two tiles in this dead end contain a Rare Candy and a Star

That's it for B2F, so return to the ladder, then take the other ladder up. Back on 1F go east, then south and
search the rock pile there for an Elixir. Go east to reach a crossroad and take the southern path to fight a trainer.

Alternatively, you can go through the grass patch with two... items? Oh, wait, only the NE Pokeball icon is an item

The wild Pokemon here are very different. People here will mention a tradition of using Fighting types, and it can
be seen in the grass: *Sawk, *Throh, Scraggy, Gurdurr, Mienshao, *Timburr, *Mienfoo, Conkeldurr. Level 27-31.

First of all, go right to the big puddle. There's a Max Revive hidden in there. To find it, line yourself under the door
to the house to the north, go two tiles into the puddle and check the tile to your right.
Climb the stairs east from that house and cross the bridge to the east. Grab a PP Up there.
Go west to the Pokemon Centre and talk to the girl on the left to get a Black Belt.
Enter the cave at the western edge of the town. Kyurem is there -- I presume you know what to do. Kyurem
weighs a lot, so Heavy Balls are preferred.
East from the cave is Pokemon Fan Club. Talk to the old man and answer "Yes" to his question to get another
Exp. Share.
Enter the house NE from there and talk to the girl to get a Rage Candy Bar. Go west from there and enter the

ROUTE 9:
Wild Pokemon: Ferroseed, Tynamo, Gothita, Cottonee, Whimsicott, Zebstrika, Krokorok. Level 30-33.
Another fairly open road divided into a safe northern part and a grassy southern part.
There's 7 trainers in total, all in the northern part (two guard the entrance to the southern part).

Krokorok LV 36

Each part also has one visible and one hidden item.
In the northern part, the visible item is a Full Restore. To get the hidden item, some searching is needed. Find an
L-shaped group of bushes in the western part of the Route. Stand east from the easternmost tree there, walk
three tiles south and check the tile to the east for a Lemonade.
The visible item in the southern part (way west from where you enter this part) is a HP Up. To find the hidden item
(a Max Ether), go to the middle of the three big grass patches there. Its northern edge has three connected grass
tiles and one single one. Go to the middle of the three and search the tile south of you.
The path to the east is impassable for now, but you can enter the big building which is a... Shopping Mall? Sure,
why not.
We've seen enough of these by now, so just quick notes: 2F has some basic Poke Mart items (healing/Poke
Balls) 3F has a Move Tutor (Last Resort). 4F sells evolution stones (all except for Ice Stone) and 5F sells
Vitamins and X- items. There's also a guy on 5F who will give you a Thunder Stone.
East of this is a green Poke Mart clone that sells you Gems. It has two clerks. The upper one sells:
Rock Gem - 200
Water Gem - 200
Electric Gem - 200
Grass Gem - 200
Poison Gem - 200
Psychic Gem - 200
Fire Gem - 200
Ground Gem - 200
Flying Gem - 200
VIRBANK CITY:
Fishing (Old Rod): Frillish.
Fishing (Good Rod): Jellicent, Swanna, and Alomomola.
House next to a Gym has a guy who will trade your Koffing for his Gurdurr.
Go north. Next to the Pokemon Centre is a group of pots. The one in the centre has a Full Heal in it.
And there's also Meloetta. Talk to it and it will come with you.
With Meloetta in tow, you can enter the Gym. There is a Rare Candy hidden in the jug next to the gym. The Gym
itself has just two trainers and Roxie.

Beat Roxie for the Toxic Badge and TM34 (Sludge Wave).
When you leave the Gym, you'll meet Cynthia who invites you to Undella Town. The Unova teleport system gets
updated. Which is a good thing since we have just gotten our 8th Unova Badge and that means we have
unlocked some more stuff!
At this point, you can go and catch the 3 Musketeers - Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion.
Cobalion (LV 50): Go to Driftveil City and leave to the west to Route 6. Go past the first three bridges (sigh...) and
then north and east past yet another bridge to a cave. Cobalion will be there.
Terrakion (LV 50): Go to Icirrus City and enter Twist Mountain again. Pass through the first passage and you'll be
in the central area again. Go south, and then west, to the cave that was blocked by rocks. You'll end up in Twist
Mountain 4F; this area has a Glacial Rock so you can evolve Eevee into Glaceon there. It has normal random
encounters and Terrakion is here.
Virizion (LV 50): Go to Nacrene City and leave to the west to the Pinwheel Forest. Continue to the second area
and go north along the road. Turn east. Grab a Big Root in the grass patch and continue east and north into the
trees. You'll get to a glade where Virizion is.
Cobalion and Terrakion are heavy so Heavy Balls are preferable. Virizion is not heavy enough, but it's fast, so
use Fast Balls for it.
When you're done, go to Nimbasa City. You can now leave through the NE exit.
ROUTE 16:
Wild Pokemon: Rattata, Foongus, Pidove, Onix, Magnemite, Blitzle, Gothita, Hydreigon. Level 31-35.
This is a short Route which is, once again, divided into the "road" part (south) with trainers and a grassy part
(north).
The southern part has three trainers and one item (a HP Up).

UNDELLA TOWN:
Fishing (Old Rod): Staryu and Krabby.
Fishing (Good Rod): Wailord, Beartic, and Dragonite.
There are three houses in the northern part of the town. The middle house has Leftovers while the right house
has a guy who will trade his Munchlax for your Cinccino. It's a chance to get Munchlax/Snorlax if you didn't catch
the one on Orange Islands.
The Girl by the Pokemon Centre is a Move Tutor for Relic Song. Inside, there will be a guy who will give you a
Prism Scale.
Go to the NW corner of the town. Before entering Cynthia's Villa, stand east to the sign and go one tile east, two
tiles north and check the bush east of you for a Big Nugget. Next, go to the bottom left corner of the courtyard
and pick up the Reveal Glass. Now enter the villa -- this will update the Unova teleport system so that now you
can teleport here. Go north, west, and north into a room where you can fight Dawn.

(At this point, the blocked eastern exit on Route 9 will open as well. However, both Route 9 and Route 12 lead to
the same place: Opelucid City.)
ROUTE 12:
Wild Pokemon: *Rufflet, *Vullaby, Amoonguss, Karrablast, Corphish, Buizel, Zweilous, Fraxure, Axew. Level 33-

Enter the house next to the Gym and talk to the guy there to get a Ring Target.
Enter the house next to the previous one and talk to the guy there to get a Float Stone.
You'll get TM82 (Dragon Tail) once you win. The Unova Teleport system gets updated.
Leave through the NE exit to Vetress City.
VETRESS CITY:
Wild Pokemon: Stoutland, Swoobat, Eevee, Trubbish, Mareep, Zebstrika, Blitzle, Cryogonal, Garbodor,
Bouffalant. Level 35-39.
There are three shops in the area: Incenses, Drinks, and Berries. I wonder where Team Rocket’s shop is...
You've seen several Leagues by now, so you know how they work. Register, then start with the far left exit and
move to the right after every win. You'll have to fight in five battles.

All Pokémon in your party will have the Vetress Ribbon afterwards.
So, what's Super Rod for? In the locations you've seen so far, it won't actually help you all that much; usually,
you'll be able to catch the same Pokemon you can get with Old Rod or Good Rod, except that they will be 10
levels higher.
Generally, if you're trying to catch a particular Pokemon, the Super Rod will improve your chances ONLY if you
want to catch the "rarer" Pokemon with Old Rod. The most important example is probably Route 121 in Hoenn
where Super Rod gives you a better chance to get a Luvdisc for potential Heart Scale farming.
In all other situations, however, a specific Pokemon is easier to catch with one of the other Rods.
The only exception from this general rule is Pallet Town, where you can get Horsea and Staryu with Super Rod,
but none of the others.
Go to Nuvema Town and talk to Professor Juniper to start the N arc. Note that Vetress City will permanently close
once you do that so if you want to do any shopping/levelling there, do it now.
After talking to Professor Juniper, go to Virbank City and take the newly opened western exit to Route 20.
ROUTE 20:
Wild Pokemon: *Maractus, *Pawniard, Minccino, Sunflora, Shinx, Amoonguss. Level 36-40.
Fishing (Old Rod): Ducklett.
Fishing (Good Rod): Alomomola, Beartic, and Swanna.
Fishing (Super Rod): Seel, Ducklett, Beartic, and Swanna.
Go up the stairs. Have a short dialogue with N, and then proceed. Continue north into the trees. There's Keldeo
(LV 50) here -- catch it (Fast Balls are preferable).
Go back out. Go south into a grass patch; fight a trainer and grab a Sticky Barb there.

Fishing (Super Rod): Ducklett, Alomomola, Beartic, and Swanna.
From the start, go west and north. You can fight and catch Genesect here at LV 50. Despite Genesect being a
steel type, it's not all that heavy, so Heavy Balls won't work. However, it is also a bug type, so Net Balls are
recommended.
Then go back and continue west along the Route. There are three trainers and one item (an Expert Belt) on the
way, all quite easy to see.

talk to him with Genesect in slot one of your party.
South of the Pokemon Centre, behind some houses, is a Move Tutor for Secret Sword.
Beating Cheren will update the Unova Teleport system for the last time, and then the guy guarding the western
exit steps aside, letting you go through the western exit. Go to the "White Ruins" and prepare to face down Team

Then you can fight Reshiram and capture it at LV 55. Reshiram is heavy, so use Heavy Balls.
After you exit the ruins, you'll be greeted by Alexa (no, not the AI), who will tell you about a new region that you
should check out called Kalos. That's sound advice, but we still have some last minute things to do in Unova first;
namely, catching Victini.
Head to Castelia City and exit north to Route 4. Go into the desert and make your way to the NE corner of this
area. Victini will be there, our last Gen 5 Legendary at LV 50! Fast Balls are recommended.
And that's it for Unova! Go talk to Oak and you can also put the Kalos Cap on Pikachu from the right Cap Drawer
in your room. Then it's back to Viridian City. Take the blimp to its new destination, Lumiose City!
Let's start in the SW part. There's the lab of Professor Sycamore. It has the inter-regional teleport so you can
quickly go anywhere else.
Directly east from this house, across the street, is a store. It has an Incense shop and a Vitamin shop.
Go to the Gym (it's the tall building in the middle of the city that looks nothing like Gyms in the other regions). Talk
to Clemont and Bonnie in front of the Gym and fight him.
ICONIC BATTLE

Then go to the lab and talk to Professor Sycamore. He tells you about a missing Froakie that’s lost in the city. Go
back to the gym, head west and pass behind the tall house to a ICONIC LV 5 Froakie. It may not look like it, but
this one is special - like Ash’s one in the anime.
Go back to Professor Sycamore to get a Mega Ring. We're now capable of performing Mega Evolution! If we can
get the relevant items, that is.
There will be a Poke Ball on the table that contains the second Kalos starter, Fennekin. Grab it.
The southern exit from the city was blocked by a fight, but after you obtain Mega Ring AND talk to Clemont, it will
clear. Go south. You end up in a gate building (how long has it been since we've actually been one of these?).
Continue south to Route 4.
ROUTE 4:
Wild Pokemon: *Fletchling, *Bunnelby, *Inkay, *Dedenne, Rhyhorn, Venipede, Pidgey, Oddish, Volbeat, Illumise.
Level 3-5.
In the official games, you need to hold your DS upside down in order to evolve Inkay. Here, you don't have to
worry about it -- just raise it to level 30 and it will evolve.

SANTALUNE CITY:
There is a small plateau with an inaccessible house on the western side. Check the second tile from the right
under the house for a Super Potion.
The house in the NE corner is a school. Talk to the rightmost child to get an X Defense.
The house in the SW corner has a guy who will trade his Farfetch'd for your Bunnelby. There is a hidden X Attack
in the top right corner of the flower patch next to that row of houses.

There is some Berry Juice in the SW corner of the town (you have to jump a ledge to get there).
Enter the mansion at the northern end of the town and walk through it to Route 6.
ROUTE 6:

Yep, after the two locations with Loudred way back, we finally have a spot for Whismur, if you waited for it...
This Route has a bit of an unusual layout: it has a central path and two side areas, on the eastern and western
side. But the side areas can't be accessed from the Route itself.

Goomy in the mouth... Because it's sticky and gross. Or something like that.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Evolving the Goomy line has changed in more recent Fire Ash versions. Goomy still evolves
into Sliggoo at LV 38 (same as in the main series games), but Sliggoo evolves into Goodra by levelling up
knowing Rain Dance, so don't toss that move aside as useless (yet. lol).

Cross the bridge. This is a fairly small area. The southern part where you start has two trainers and one item (a
Manectite).

Zigzagoon, Bidoof. Level 40-43.
Note that you can get farm Leftovers here thanks to the wild Snorlax.

3. Continue south, west, south, and east to fight the pair of double trainers.
Twins Nana & Nina
Slurpuff LV 49
Aromatisse LV 49
4. Return to the double trainers and continue west. At the end of the path, turn north and grab a HP Up.

Our goal is Lumiose City now; the Kalos journey ends where it began. We could teleport there, but there's still
one Route we haven't been to, Route 22 west of Snowbelle City, so let's go there!
ROUTE 22:
Wild Pokemon: Scyther, Ursaring, Altaria, Spinda, Floatzel, Lombre, Swablu, Dragonair. Level 43-47.
Go west. You'll go to the fork where you can go along the path to the north, or jump the ledge to the west. We'll
take the north path first.
Go along the path north and west, fighting three trainers and grabbing a Full Restore from a grass patch.

Go back to the start of the Route and jump down the ledge this time. This path is shorter, but is a one-way trip.
After jumping the first ledge you'll see a woman. Talk to her with a Raquaza in the front of your party to receive
the Dragon Scroll. If you give it to Rayquaza, it’ll be able to Mega Evolve.
After jumping the second ledge, you'll fight two trainers, then you can grab an Elixir.

All Pokémon in your party will have the Lumiose Ribbon afterwards.
Unfortunately, right after the League ends, Team Flare attacks! Go out into the city which is now overrun by Team
Flare goons.
Note that that's an exception -- most Team Flare members in the city do not fight, they just block your way.
Pokemon Centre is inaccessible at the moment, but remember that there is one in the League building.
After you pass the exit west from the city, you'll have to fight a Team Flare Lieutenant.
ICONIC BATTLE
Team Flare Aliana
Druddigon LV 55
After that, you can enter the Pokemon Centre, though Team Flare blocks access to the PC and to teleport. Of
course, the League building still has an accessible PC, if you need one.
There's another Team Flare lieutenant next to the Pokemon Centre.
ICONIC BATTLE

You'll end up in the city with all the characters from Kalos. You'll automatically talk to Professor Sycamore, who’ll
give the Record Ribbon to all your Pokémon and that's the end of the Kalos storyline!
First of all, once Lumiose City resets to default, there is a trainer in front of the Lumiose Gym who wants to
challenge Clemont... he'll have to settle for you for now.
MINOR ICONIC
Youngster Alvin
Vivillon LV 50

Then, return to Pallet Town and talk to Oak to start the Alola arc, but before we go to Alola, there are some
legendary pokemon we can get before that.
First of all, go to the Lumiose store (the building west of Pokemon Centre) and go to the top floor. There will be
three guys who will gift you Hoopa, Diancie, and Volcanion, each at LV 50. In the middle of the room, there is a
Diancite and a Prison Bottle.
Next, teleport to Couriway Town and go south to Route 19. Enter the Terminus Cave and go to the back of the
cave (where you fought TR once). You can now fight and capture Zygarde there at LV 60. Heavy Balls are
recommended.
Now it's time to properly start the Alola arc! Return to Pallet Town and talk to Oak, then head to Viridian City to
get the blimp to Alola. You can also put the Alola Cap on Pikachu from the right Cap Drawer in your room.
ROUTE 1:
Weather Forecast: Rarely Sunny
Wild Pokemon: *Grubbin, *Pikipek, Alolan Exeggutor, Spearow, Corsola, *Sandygast, Bonsly, Sudowoodo,
Bewear. Level 2-5.
Fishing (Old Rod): *Pyukumuku and Slowpoke.
Fishing (Good Rod): *Bruxish, *Wishiwashi, and *Dewpider.
Fishing (Super Rod): *Pyukumuku, Slowpoke, *Bruxish, *Wishiwashi, and *Dewpider.
Grubbin evolves into Charjabug at level 20. To obtain its third stage, Vikavolt, you need to level it in a special
magnetic field or by using a Thunder Stone on it like in SwSh (which is far easier). Currently, you have access to
five magnetic fields: Route 110 in Hoenn, Route 207 and Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh, Chargestone Cave in Unova and
Route 13 in Kalos.
Wishiwashi's ability only works if it is level 20 or above.
Go out of the blimp station and talk to your mom to get her out of your way (unfortunately, this technique usually
doesn't work in real life).
There is a row of houses north of you. Sadly, only one of them can be entered and even there, there's nothing in
interest.
You can now go either south or north. South is grass and a beach where you can fish. There’s a Pikipek that’ll
give you a Babiri Berry. A fisherman on the beach will give you a Poke Ball and there's an Awakening in the
grass. However, the Lab is blocked by a Litten so you can't get in. So you have to enter the big building in the
north part: the Pokemon School.
However, before you can enter, you'll have your first encounter with Alola's “evil” team. Team Skull (they will be
abbreviated TS from now on). They really don’t do much compared to teams like Team Galactic or Team Flare.
ICONIC BATTLE
TS Tupp, Rapp, & Zipp
Salandit LV 3
Yungoos LV 3
Zubat LV 3
After they leave, you can enter the school. And it actually IS a big building.
Start by going straight north. You'll end up in a classroom which is the centre of the whole school. Leave through
the NE exit to reach Samson's office. Talk to him and give him the Egg.
For future reference, the western exit from the classroom takes you to a room with a healing machine and there's
a PC right at the entrance.
Samson offers to let you join the school... provided you get parental permission. Go out and south to the beach.
Grab the Poke Ball from the fisherman if you haven't done so yet. Your mom will be by the sea south of the lab.
Talk to her to enrol in the Pokemon School.
The Lab will now be open. Go in to meet Kukui, and he'll show you around, including meeting a cute little Rockruff
that's currently staying there. His house also contains a regional teleport. He'll give you a Rotom Pokedex.
Note that while the Rotom Dex follows you, you will not be able to use Fly (everywhere) or your Bike (outside of
Cycling Road).
Now, the Alolan part of the game works a bit differently than the others. You will be a part of a class and instead
of moving freely around the region, you'll be going on... missions, I guess. Or school trips. The characters living
on Route 1 (Kukui, Samson, and your classmates) have dialogues that frequently change. There are two main
ways to advance the story: going to school and sleeping in your bed (that also heals your party).
So let's head towards the school. Outside the main doors, you'll have your first meeting with Tapu Koko, who will
give you a Z-Ring. This can be used to activate superpowered Z-Moves.
Now enter the school, and sit on your seat (the middle one in the top row). You'll get your first mission: explore
the Melemele forest to the east.
Note that if you ever forget what to do, come back and look at the board behind Kukui. It will give you your current
objective.
MELEMELE FOREST:
Wild Pokemon: Pikipek, Grubbin, *Mimikyu, Trumbeak, *Bounsweet, *Morelull, Shiinotic, *Oranguru, *Drampa,
Alolan Exeggutor, Toucannon, Bewear. Level 2-5.
Return to the trainer and go north. Fight another trainer who guards a Revive.
Lass Madison
Wingull LV 5
Continue east. The rest of the forest is one long winding path. Fight a trainer along this path and continue.
Youngster Kevin
Grubbin LV 5
In the NE corner you'll find Kukui. Talk to him to finish the mission. Grab a Full Heal south from Kukui and return
to class.
Return to class. The next part is a battle. You need to battle one of your classmates. Let's meet them, since you'll
see those characters a lot from now on:
Lillie: S seat, has a white hat and long blonde hair, but isn't actually a trainer (yet).
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Mallow
Bounsweet LV 7
For this assignment, you can fight any of them except Lillie (who, as she says, is not actually a trainer). You can
only fight one of them but you probably don't really need the EXP from all of them at this point, do you? Needless
to say, Kiawe is the best option for experience gain.
After battling, Kukui will explain to you about Z Moves and Z-Crystals and tell you that completing Island
challenges is a good way to collect them.
That's all for now. Let's head to Bed (at Kukui's lab).
HAU'OLI CITY:
Weather Forecast: Sometimes Sunny
Fishing (Old Rod): Poliwag and Slowpoke.
Fishing (Good Rod): Corsola, Sharpedo, and Pelipper.
Fishing (Super Rod): Poliwag, Slowpoke, Corsola, Sharpedo, and Pelipper.
The first house you come to is blocked off. The second house is where Sophocles lives. Nothing to do here now,
but remember it for future reference.
South from there (down the stairs) is a beach. Find two hidden items:
1) Stand on the right tile of the right set of stairs. Go four steps south and check the tile to your east for a Fresh
Water.
2) In the SE corner of the beach is a line of four tiles with sea on both west and east. Search the second one from
the left for a Pearl.
After that, talk to the two guys on the beach. One gives you a Potion, the other is a Move Tutor for Giga Drain.
So, go back up stairs and west along the path. Next you'll see the Hau'oli Shopping Mall, but it's not accessible
yet, as Litten is guarding it.
Next is a big house. Here is where Lillie lives. There's nothing here right now, but again -- keep it in mind for
future reference.
West of the signpost, there is an old lady who’ll give you a Cheri Berry, Leppa Berry and Sitrus Berry.
Further west, the path splits. Go south and you'll see Aina's Kitchen. Once again, we'll come back here later.
Go south along the path and talk to the Alolan Grimer to get an Everstone, then east. Next house belongs to
Mallow, but she's not in. Next building is the Pokemon Centre -- our first one in Alola, in fact.
East from the Pokemon Centre is a park -- grab a Poke Ball that is in there.
Then the path leads further south onto a pier. Lana's house is here, and she's outside. Talk to her to go to the
Hau'oli Outskirts.
HAU'OLI OUTSKIRTS:
Wild Pokemon: *Salandit, Roggenrola, Charjabug, Cubone, Emolga, Rufflet, Spinarak, Zubat, Pikipek, Bewear.
Level 5-8.
Fishing (Old Rod): Psyduck and Slowpoke.
Fishing (Good Rod): Corsola, Sharpedo, and Pelipper.
Fishing (Super Rod): Psyduck, Slowpoke, Corsola, Sharpedo, and Pelipper.
If you want to catch Salandit, catch a female one -- those are the only ones that can evolve (although you could
breed till you got a female).
Hau'oli Outskirts is a really big place. It's not too annoying since you can mostly just avoid the tall grass.
From the start, go NE and enter the gap between the trees. Navigate the path to NE. Eventually you'll be able to
go west through another gap. Fight a trainer.
Pokemon Breeder Ikue
Pichu LV 7
Pikachu LV 7
NW from her is a Super Potion and a bit west from that is a Great Ball.
Exit the area and go west and north, hugging the trees. When you get to the northern shore, continue east, then
south.
You will see another gap to the south, but first go east and grab a Big Mushroom from the NE part of the island.
Continue south to the centre of the island. In the NW corner is a Gift Popplio, grab it. Then check the boulder in
the lake to fight a Gyarados LV 12.
After you beat the Gyarados, retrace your steps back to Lana. Talk to her -- she will heal you, but then you'll have
to fight her.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Lana
Lapras LV 10
Popplio LV 10
After you beat her, you can go back to Hau'oli City. If you need to come back to Hau'oli Outskirts for any reason,
the Lapras in Hau'oli City will now take you there and back.
After the battle, you can shop with various vendors, who offer some basic PokeMart wares, as well as evolution
stones, vitamins, and X-items. Nothing you haven't seen before.
Talk to Sophocles in the back and you will go to Hau'oli Tunnel. Immediately check the tile south of you; it
contains a hidden Revive. Go north and beat three trainers.
Super Nerd Gerald
Morelull LV 12
Finally meet back with Sophocles himself who took time from his day job of writing Greek tragedies to heal you
and fight you.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Sophocles
Togedemaru LV 13
Talk to him afterwards to get out of the tunnel; you cannot get back once you leave, but since you can miss at
most 2 Revives here, it's not a big deal.
For the next part, go to school. You'll see Lillie take a Pokemon egg. Go to her home (the big mansion in Hau'oli
City). Talk to the guy there (Hobbes) and fight him.
MINOR ICONIC
Gentleman Hobbes
Oricorio LV 14
After passing the bridge, go east and grab the Eviolite. Then go into the trees to reach Route 3.
ROUTE 3:
Wild Pokemon: *Alolan Diglett, *Alolan Rattata, *Cutiefly, *Mudbray, *Alolan Meowth, Ribombee, *Passimian,
Alolan Raticate. Level 10-14.
There is a TM129 (Brutal Swing) in the NE corner of the plains where you start.
The western exit is inaccessible right now. Go north and up the stairs instead. Fight the trainer at the top.
MINOR ICONIC
Gentleman Laki
Smeargle LV 15
Go east from there, then north for a trainer battle and a Heal Ball.
Picnicker Tatiana
Petilil LV 15
Go back south, then west and north along the main path and fight another trainer.
Camper Joshua
Growlithe LV 15
The path splits here. Go north and west. There's a corner below a plateau that hides a Stardust. Then you'll meet
a guy who will give you a Soothe Bell, with a visible Sharp Beak next to him. Continue west for another trainer.
Camper Ian
Psyduck LV 15
Go south and then head back north up the stairs to find the final trainer along with two items: A Red Card and a
Nest Ball.
Hiker Makana
Rockruff LV 14
Slowpoke LV 14
IKI TOWN:
Go down the stairs and into the town proper. To your west are two houses, but there is nothing interesting there.
The guy standing by the east house is a Move Tutor -- he teaches Drain Punch.
Continue north and up the stairs. Talk to the woman for a Stardust.
Enter the house here and talk to Hala. He will send you to Route 2.
Talking to Hala unlocks the Alola teleport system. Teleport to Hau'oli City and leave through the NW exit to Route
2.
ROUTE 2:
Weather Forecast: Occasionally Sunny
Wild Pokemon: Alolan Rattata, *Wimpod, Beedrill, Butterfree, Charjabug, Tauros, Miltank, Murkrow, Paras,
Stoutland. Level 9-12.
Fishing (Old Rod): *Mareanie and Corsola.
Fishing (Good Rod): Chinchou, *Dhelmise, and Bruxish.
Fishing (Super Rod): *Mareanie, Corsola, Chinchou, *Dhelmise, and Bruxish.
Technically, we could have come here before, but apart from getting some Pokemon a bit earlier there wasn’t
much of a point.
From the start, go north towards the stairs. In the corner to the right, there is a hidden Repel. Then, continue
north and fight a trainer.
Pokemon Ranger Kaleb
Spearow LV 16
Go north along the path and turn east into the corridor between two rows of trees. There's a Super Potion in the
grass here. Continue east. There will be a small nook to the north; search the NW tile of this nook to find a Star
Piece. Continue east and grab the visible item, TM125 (Power Gem) and fight another trainer.
Beauty Ashley
Cottonee LV 16
You'll come to a cave entrance; this is Verdant Cavern and our next destination (if you come here without talking
to Hala in Iki Town, the path will be blocked). But let's clear the rest of this Route before going in.
Go north and east around the cliff. Grab a Stardust there. Go north and west and fight a trainer.
Pokemon Ranger Jay
Butterfree LV 16
West from here is a big grass patch with a Nest Ball and another trainer inside.
Lass Isabella
Spearow LV 15
Cutiefly LV 15
Continue west and north. In the very NW corner of the Route is the last trainer, guarding another Nest Ball.
Beauty Krystal
Gastly LV 15
Misdreavus LV 15
VERDANT CAVERN:
Wild Pokemon: *Yungoos, Alolan Rattata, Gumshoos, Alolan Raticate. Level 12-16.
The Pokémon you use to battle it will get the Melemele Trial Ribbon afterwards.
After beating Gumshoos, talk to it to get Normalium-Z for winning. Note that you HAVE to talk to it in order to
unlock the next part of the quest. Go back outside. Kukui will be waiting for you. He'll tell you about the Z-
Crystals, which allow one superpowered move per battle, the move type is dependent on the crystal that the
pokemon has equipped.
Hala will now be in the northern part of the town. Fight him.
ICONIC BATTLE
ISLAND KAHUNA HALA (2v2)
Crabrawler LV 19
Hariyama LV 21
The Pokémon you use to battle it will get the Melemele Grand Trial Ribbon afterwards.
After you win, he's about to give you a Fightinium-Z, when Tapu Koko shows up to give you an Electrium-Z.
Go back to Kukui's House and on the way, talk to the Trumbeak (which was previously a Pikipek) to get a Kasib
Berry. Inside, talk to the ICONIC LV 18 Rockruff there. It will join you.
This Rockruff is special and will evolve into a Dusk Form Lycanroc (like Ash’s in the anime) when it reaches level
25 or above during 5pm and 8pm, which is more lenient than the main series games.
Two of the forms evolve by happiness (one during day, one during night), while the third one is obtained by
simply raising Rockruff to level 25.
As an aside, the best Day Care right now is in Sinnoh. That's because it has the best path: Sinnoh stop of the
inter-regional teleport is in a town with Pokemon Centre, and therefore a regional teleport that can get you right to
Solaceon Town where the Day Care is. Kalos has the same feature, but the Day Care is a bit farther from a
Pokemon Centre.
But you might want to wait a bit -- the next Day Care has even better placement.
Afterwards, go back to Route 1. East of the school is Kiawe with a Charizard. Talk to the Charizard and go to
Akala Island.
PANIOLA TOWN:
Fishing (Old Rod): Wishiwashi and Alomomola.
Fishing (Good Rod): Pelipper and Gyarados.
Fishing (Super Rod): Pelipper, Gyarados, Wishiwashi, and Alomomola.
First of all, there are two flowers to the SW. The one further from you hosts a hidden Revive.
North of you are two houses. The eastern one has a guy who will give you a Quick Ball.
The SW part of the town has a small lake. It's mostly rectangular, but there are some protruding water tiles on top
and bottom. Search the tile east from the protruding tiles on the south edge for a Fresh Water.
Follow the path to the end. There are two ways to continue: north and south. Go north first.
This is a pasture with some Miltank and Tauros grazing around. There are four items on the ground; from east to
west they are an Oval Stone, an Amulet Coin, a Moomoo Milk, and a Mystic Water.
Return to the path and go south (after fighting a trainer who guards the way).
MINOR ICONIC
Lady Nina
Alolan Raichu LV 19
This part is a fairly big area with lots of grass. First of all, go to the SW grass patch and stand on the flower at the
northern edge of the grass. From this flower, go two tiles south and check the western tile for a Fresh Water.
Go to the SW corner of this patch and go south along the fence, back to Paniola Town. Grab the Scope Lens at
the end of the path.
After that, return to Paniola Ranch and go east. The next item is a visible Ether. After that, there is another hidden
item: this big grass patch has a rectangular "dent" in its northern edge; stand in the SE corner of this dent and
check the tile to your east for a Super Repel.
A final hidden item in this area is a Soda Pop. To find it, go to the NE corner (with a fenced Tauros) and search
the second tile from the left in the northern row.
We're now done with this part, so go north past the next two trainers, in an optional double battle.
Tamer Gerald
Sableye LV 19
Carbink LV 18
The house here is where Kiawe lives, and it is also the Alolan branch of the Day Care.
This is the end of the way for now, as the path ahead is blocked by a herd of Miltank. So talk to Kiawe and fight
him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Kiawe
Charizard LV 20
Turtonator LV 21
Beating Kiawe has several consequences: Paniola Town will be added to Alola teleport system and his Charizard
can now transport you at will between Route 1 and Paniola Ranch. That makes Alolan Day Care pretty
convenient, arguably more so than the Sinnoh one!
Afterwards, grab the Yellow Nectar. Note that wild Pokemon can appear anywhere in the meadow.
Oricorio, who is very common here, has multiple forms. For now, you have access to two: its basic form is
Fire/Flying, but if you have it hold the Yellow Nectar, it will transform into Electric/Flying form. It has two more
forms, but you don't have the necessary items right now.
Now head back to the lab and go to bed, and it's quest time!
* DAY 7 -- GLADION *
The next day, talk to Kukui to find out that you can spend the day off… until Rotom tells you to visit Lillie. Oh well,
let’s do that. Go to her mansion in Hau’oli City. Her brother Gladion is there now, so fight him, as one is prone to
do with people they see for the first time. No? It's just me? Moving on...
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Gladion
Lycanroc-Night LV 20
The Gladion fight is actually the only thing to do today -- go back to Kukui's House and sleep. And if you didn't go
out of your way to get the Litten, it's right there near the mansion.
The Charizard won't fly you to Paniola Ranch right now, so you have to take a ship. Go to Hau'oli City and walk
all the way to the pier. There are two ships. You want to take the north one (well, it's the only one you CAN take),
and go to Paniola.
Go north towards Paniola Ranch and Kukui will stop you to tell you that you should take on the trial at Brooklet
Hill. So continue to Paniola Ranch.
At this point, the herd of Miltank that used to block your way by the Day Care has moo-ved. They still block your
way south, but now you can at least go north to Route 5.
ROUTE 5:
Wild Pokemon: Wimpod, Cutiefly, *Crabrawler, Alolan Exeggutor, Grubbin, Ribombee, Butterfree. Level 18-21.
Crabrawler can only evolve in a certain location, but you haven't found it yet. I'll mention it when we get there.
This is another big and spacey Route, but it's actually fairly constrained in terms of your paths. Let's get to it.
Then go into the grass to the east. There's a Hyper Potion in this area.
Go back to the main path and follow it to the west. There's another trainer, and then a healer.
Pokemon Breeder Yuka
Morelull LV 22
Ledyba LV 22
The path splits now. We can go north, south, or west. We'll start by going north. First, fight a trainer.
Youngster Corey
Paras LV 22
Spinarak LV 22
Slowpoke LV 22
Then grab a Poisonium-Z from the centre of the next grass patch. A pair of double trainers is further to the east.
Twins Isa & Nico
Happiny LV 23
Igglybuff LV 23
But before you jump the ledge there, go south and west into a dead end with a Super Potion.
Jump the ledge. There is a Revive in the grass patch. Jump the ledge to the south and then search the SW
corner of this area to find a hidden Star Piece. Fight another trainer here and jump south to get back to the main
path.
Youngster Caleb
Grubbin LV 22 x2
Go back to the crossroads, and this time, go south. Fight two trainers who guard the way in an optional double
battle, then continue south.
Camper Justin
Vullaby LV 23
Picnicker Lauren
Rufflet LV 23 (Shiny)
Go east to grab yet another Revive from the dead end, and then go west. Go into the trees to reach Brooklet Hill.
BROOKLET HILL:
Fishing (Old Rod): Magikarp and Feebas.
Fishing (Good Rod): Wishiwashi and Alomomola.
Fishing (Super Rod): Magikarp, Feebas, Wishiwashi, and Alomomola.
Lana is here, and you will fight her as soon as you go in.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Lana
Popplio LV 24
Then, agree to team up with her. Together, go north and check the boulder to fight the Totem Wishiwashi. Your
party will be healed as the battle begins.
ICONIC BATTLE
Totem Pokemon Wishiwashi (Double Battle)
Wishiwashi LV 28
Alomomola LV 23
Exit the area, return to the crossroads on Road 5, and continue west to Route 8.
ROUTE 8:
Wild Pokemon: Alolan Geodude, Alolan Diglett, Lillipup, Garbodor, Herdier, Fearow, Yungoos. Level 21-24.
Fishing (Old Rod): Wishiwashi and Alomomola.
Fishing (Good Rod): Wimpod, Gyarados, and Wishiwashi.
Fishing (Super Rod): Wishiwashi, Alomomola, Wimpod, and Gyarados.
This is mostly just a scenic Route around a rock massif. First go west on a small peninsula and fight the trainer.
Picnicker Kiana
Eevee LV 24
Return to the main path. Grab a Dive Ball from the grass patch to the north, then continue west past another
Trainer.
Lass Malie
Alolan Meowth LV 24
There are two hidden items here. One, a Max Repel, is in the NE corner of where the rock massif has been cut
into. The other one, an Iron, is on the small 1-tile outcrop into the sea west of the trainer.
Continue north. There are two trainers on this path, as well as a Thunder Stone in a grass patch.
Youngster Miki
Bounsweet LV 23
Trumbeak LV 23

The final part of this Route leads east. Once again, it has two trainers and an item in the grass (a Miracle Seed).

ROUTE 7:
Wild Pokemon: Alolan Geodude, Alolan Diglett, Lillipup, Garbodor, Herdier, Fearow, Yungoos. Level 21-24.
Fishing (Old Rod): Wishiwashi and Alomomola.
Fishing (Good Rod): Wimpod, Gyarados, and Wishiwashi.
Fishing (Super Rod): Wishiwashi, Alomomola, Wimpod, and Gyarados.
Swimmer Dakota
Surskit LV 25
Dewpider LV 25
Be sure to grab the Buginium-Z in the southern corner before continuing on. Further east the path splits. Go east.
Fight a trainer and grab a Rare Candy in the grass.
Swimmer Tiare
Alomomola LV 25
Shellder LV 25
Corsola LV 25
Further east is the Wela Volcano Park. (If the path is blocked, it means that you haven't beaten Totem
Wishiwashi yet.)
Go north. The path splits here and each side is guarded by a trainer.
Cool Trainer Jim
Alolan Meowth LV 25
Kadabra LV 25
Hiker Colhoun
Roggenrola LV 25
Machop LV 25
Beat both of them and grab the items in the side paths TM127 (Leech Seed) on the west side, a Charcoal on the
east side). Then continue north and fight Kiawe.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Kiawe
Charizard LV 23
Alolan Marowak LV 25
Turtonator LV 25
According to Kiawe, there wasn’t actually a trial here. Huh. Go back down, west along Route 7 and south into the
northern part of Route 5.
ROUTE 5:
Go south, then east. There is a trainer and a Bright Powder in the eastern part of this area.
Cool Trainer Alexis
Goomy LV 25
Sylveon LV 25
Be careful to not fall down the ledge -- you'd have to go around Routes 8 and 7 again to return and while it's a
safe path, it's long and annoying.
Enter the forest once you get the Bright Powder. (If the path is blocked, then you haven't beaten Kiawe on Wela
Volcano yet.)
LUSH JUNGLE:
Wild Pokemon: *Fomantis, Alolan Diglett, Castform, Lurantis, Parasect. Level 22-24.
This is a "cave" area so wild Pokemon can appear anywhere. There is a Mossy Rock here, so Eevee can evolve
into Leafeon when levelled up here.
You will get a Grassium-Z for beating it and the Pokémon you use to battle it will get the Akala Trial Ribbon
afterwards..
Now that you have beaten Totem Lurantis, two things happen. First of all, Kiawe is no longer at the Wela
Volcano. That means you can get to his Charizard. Charizard is like an alternate teleport system in Alola; right
now it connects three places: Route 1, Paniola Ranch, and Wela Volcano. You need to get to Paniola Ranch --
better way is to go on foot, as you can stop by the healer on Route 5.
The second thing that happens is that the herd of Miltank at Paniola Ranch moves again, letting you go south.
PANIOLA RANCH:
The new section is pretty short, consisting just of trainers -- five of them!

RUINS OF LIFE:
To your east is a legendary pokemon, Tapu Lele. It's only LV 25, so a relatively easy catch. If you have high
levelled pokemon (which you should), then Level Balls are the way to go.
Once you've caught it, the only thing left to do here is to fight Olivia.
ICONIC BATTLE
ISLAND KAHUNA OLIVIA (Double Battle) (2v2)
Lycanroc LV 26
Probopass LV 26
Beat her to receive the Rockium-Z.
* DAY 9 -- SOPHOCLES *
The next day, Kukui sends you to Sophocles's house -- remember? It's the second house in Hau'oli City when
you go from Route 1. Fight him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Sophocles
Togedemaru LV 26
Charjabug LV 26
And... that's it? Yeah, it's another day done, go to Kukui's House and sleep, then.
PALLET TOWN:
Go to Oak's Laboratory where you are welcomed by TR. Isn't it nice how those guys try?
ICONIC BATTLE
TR's Jessie & James
Mimikyu LV 27
Wobbuffet LV 51
Mareanie LV 27
So, after their inevitable blasting off, go through the lab and exit through the back into the corral.
In the corral, you can talk to Oak, Samson, Kukui, and your classmates, but the main thing to do here is to fight
Misty and Brock.
ICONIC BATTLE
Gym Leader Misty
Gyarados LV 55 (Mega)
ICONIC BATTLE
Breeder Brock
Steelix LV 55 (Mega)
(Don't forget that Oak's Lab has a healing machine and a PC!) Once you beat both of them, you will automatically
return to Kukui's House in Alola. Go to bed.
* DAY 11 -- NEBBY *
The next day, Kukui has no task for you, but Rotom Dex suggests you should go to Melemele Forest.
In the forest, go south. Close to the first trainer is a Pokemon. Talk to it and it will start following you.
Note that while it follows you, you must take at least one step into a building, or else when you exit it, you will get
a black screen. Ideally you want to avoid this, but if you get a black screen, immediately go back into the building,
go in one step, and it should be fixed when you exit again.
Go to Hau'oli City and to the sailor who sails to Paniola Town. He now has Aether Paradise as another
destination.
AETHER PARADISE:
Wild Pokemon: Bounsweet, *Stufful, Ditto, Petilil, *Comfey, Alolan Exeggutor, Sandygast, Jigglypuff, Sandile.
Level 23-28.
Fishing (Old Rod): Shellos and Qwilfish.
Fishing (Good Rod): Swanna, Goldeen, and Wishiwashi.
Fishing (Super Rod): Shellos, Qwilfish, Swanna, Goldeen, and Wishiwashi.
Stufful is the first form of Bewear, which appeared in a few areas, so the only completely new Pokemon here is
Comfey.
From where you start, you can go west or east and then south to the grass patches. East patch has an item at the
end of it. The eastern path has a Groundium-Z. The western path has TM130 (Shore Up).
Now let's head into the building. Or you can go north and enter the big building...
From the start, you will meet the researcher Faba. Once you're done, you have a PC on your left. You can't go
east, so go north and then east to a small office with a Rare Candy. It was probably someone's lunch and you just
pilfered it. I hope you're happy.
Scientist Ashton
Shelgon LV 28
Trumbeak LV 28
Be sure to pick up the Max Revive in the SW Corner. Continue east and fight another trainer.
Scientist Arin
Alolan Muk LV 29
Continue east. The path goes further east, but go south first. Fight a trainer that guards the entrance to another
office with a Nugget. Past him is a man next to a desk: he will trade you a Togedemaru for an Alolan Pichu, or so
he claims. Unfortunately, due to the removal of Alolan Pichu, this trade doesn’t work anymore, so now the only
other way to get Togedemaru in Fire Ash is by catching one in the Alola section of the Safari Zone, which you'll
have access to in a bit.
Scientist Danny
Parasect LV 28
Drifblim LV 28
Vibrava LV 28
Go back to the main path and continue east past two more trainers in a double battle.
Scientists Willington & Billington
Electabuzz LV 29
Magmar LV 29
Grab a Dubious Disc there (you should already have some from Slateport MARKET). Two researchers at the
counter sell all types of fossils including two new ones: Jaw Fossil and Sail Fossil.
Continue along the path and Faba will stop you when you go past him. You will automatically go back to Kukui's
House.
Go back to Aether Paradise -- we're not done here yet. Now directly east from the entrance is another room,
which has a free Type: Null at LV 30. Grab it. Continue east along the southern wall to grab a Master Ball!
Welp.
Follow the path east, south, and west, facing three trainers and grabbing the Ether along the way.
Youngster Honus
Rockruff LV 30
Youngster Ikaika
Pikipek LV 29
Yungoos LV 29
Lass Ellie
Pikipek LV 29
Rockruff LV 29
After the third trainer, continue west to grab an Elixir, then return to the trainer and go south and east.
You'll end up on a meadow. Grab the Fightinium-Z at the east side and talk to Gladion to fight him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Gladion
Type: Null (Silvally) LV 31
He will send you back to Route 1 afterwards. From now on, Charizard will have Ten Carat Hill as a new
destination.
Nothing more to do here, go to Kukui's House. No sleeping, though -- Kukui will tell you that you're going to Poni
island. Return back to the sailor in Hau'oli City: he now has a new destination, Vast Poni Canyon!
This is a location with strong magnetic fields, and as such it allows the evolution of Magneton, Nosepass, and
Charjabug.
Once again, random encounters can occur everywhere here. Start by going east and north and fight a trainer.
Cool Trainer Lynn
Staryu LV 29
Shiinotic LV 29
Fletchinder LV 29
Continue west. There will be another trainer and a Dragonium-Z in the dead end.
Scientist Iki
Muk LV 29
Magneton LV 29
Return to the first trainer. East from her (you have to go around a rock) is an X Attack. Just to the north is a Move
Tutor for Magnet Rise.
Go north and west through a narrow gap to the next area. You'll fight a trainer.
Hiker Zachary
Archeops LV 29
Cranidos LV 29
Return to the previous trainer and continue north. There's another trainer.
Painter Perdy
Whimsicott LV 30
Beyond her, the path splits. Go through the western part; fight the trainer and grab a PP Max nearby.
Cool Trainer Harry
Torkoal LV 29
Arcanine LV 29
Then go back and enter the eastern branch. It has a Protein and a pair of double trainers.
Cool Couple Kent & Aimee
Alolan Sandslash LV 30
Alolan Ninetales LV 30
Go east, north, and west around the rock formation to fight another trainer, making sure to grab the TM126
(Liquidation).
Cool Trainer Junko
Lilligant LV 29
Sneasel LV 29
The last trainer is west of you and there's a Kommonium-Z close to him.
Cool Trainer Eric
Granbull LV 29
Alolan Golem LV 29
Cloyster LV 29
That's all on the outside, enter the cave! Inside, go straight north, but make sure to grab the Pikashunium-Z. Talk
to Solgaleo, who will give you a Solganium-Z. It then automatically heals you (although you won't get a message
about it). Then, it becomes a gift ICONIC LV 35 Solgaleo. Take it with you, then walk up into the dead end to go
to Ultra Deep Space and once there, go north and fight Lusamine.
ICONIC BATTLE
Aether President Lusamine
Clefable LV 33
Milotic LV 33

After you win, you will get back to Altar of the Sunne.
Once you get back, you will automatically go back to Kukui's House. Go to bed to get to the next day.
MOUNT LANAKILA:
Weather forecast: Blizzard
Wild Pokemon: *Alolan Vulpix, Sneasel, *Alolan Sandshrew, Crabominable, Snorunt. Level 25-30.
This is a place with an Icy Rock, so Eevee can evolve here into Glaceon. In addition, this is the only place where
Crabrawler can evolve into Crabominable.
Directly west from where you started is a Move Tutor for Iron Head.
Further west is an Iron. North of you is a 3x5 grass patch. Stand north of its NE corner, go one step west and
check the tile north of you for a Revival Herb.
Go south from the trainer to reach an Ice Stone. Then go east for another trainer.
Hiker Ovid
Relicanth LV 32
Continue east for another item -- an Icium-Z. Go south and fight the next two trainers.
Hiker Minty
Florges LV 32
MINOR ICONIC
Cool Trainer Cerah
Alolan Ninetales LV 32
Now you can return north to the sailor and go home. Go to Kukui's House and sleep.
Note that when you pass back through Hau'oli City, there is a Poké Ball containing a LV 30 Marshadow next to
the Pokemon Centre. Be sure to grab it.
* DAY 16 -- BUZZWOLE *
Head to school. Lusamine announces that you can now battle Ultra Beasts that wander around Alola. Go to the
northeast corner of the classroom. There will be a new NPC who sells you Beast Balls; these special Poke Balls
are great for catching Ultra Beasts, but don't really work that well on anything else. They cost just 1000, so you
can just buy as many as you want. By this time you are most likely at the money cap which means you are single-
handedly supporting the whole Pokemon world economy.
Now go to Melemele Meadow (over the bridge to Route 3, and then west into the trees). Fight Buzzwole which
appears there. Catch it. Try your new Beast Balls.
Buzzwole LV 37
ROYAL AVENUE:
Royal Avenue is basically a small town. There is a Move Tutor (for Gunk Shot) in the Pokemon Centre.
Outside, you can collect five items, two hidden and three visible:
1) Rare Candy -- The northern edge of Royal Avenue is formed by trees and bushes. A Rare Candy is hidden in
the third bush from the left.
2) Rare Candy -- Another one is hidden in the third bush from the right.
3) HP Up -- on the ground near the second Rare Candy.
4) Pink Nectar -- near the fountain in the centre of Royal Avenue. Pink Nectar can be equipped on Oricorio to
change it into its Psychic/Flying form.
5) TM132 (Revenge) -- in the centre of the puddle.
Go north from the TM132 and enter the house. The man inside will give you a Power Belt.
East of the house is a guy who will give you the Incinium-Z. The hiker by the fountain will give you a Primarium-Z.
The fisherman north of the Pokemon Centre will give you a Decidium-Z.
There is a Game Corner in the eastern part of the Avenue. The Pokemon offered there are:
*Alolan Grimer - 180 coins
Rockruff - 500 coins
Jangmo-o - 2800 coins
*Turtonator - 5500 coins
*Komala - 9999 coins
Now enter the big building to the north. Talk to the guy in the middle and you get a choice of pairing with either
Kiawe or Sophocles for the next battle. Choose whoever -- the one you don't choose will be the partner of your
opponent.
Beat the Masked Royal and that's another day done.
ICONIC BATTLE
Masked Royal & Pokemon Trainer Kiawe / Sophocles
Incineroar LV 33
Alolan Marowak LV 33 / Charjabug LV 33
The Alola teleport system is also updated, adding Royal Avenue. Head back towards the school via the teleport
system for a good night's sleep... except that TS has taken over the place. Three grunts guard the road to the
school.

Alolan Rattata LV 33

Salandit LV 33
Garbodor LV 33
Zubat LV 33
Yungoos LV 30
Illima will then give you an Eevium-Z, and then he tells you about the Alola Pokemon League that's being set up.
Exciting prospect. For now though, let's head to sleep.
* DAY 18 -- POIPOLE *
The next day, Kukui will tell you that an Ultra Beast appeared on the island and Rotom Dex reveals that it's inside
the school! So, let's go there. Rotom Dex gives you a hint once you enter - the Ultra Beast is in the plants on the
right side of the school.
There's a small room you can reach by going east from the classroom, then south -- there was no reason coming
here before. Once you enter the room, you will see an ICONIC Poipole on the right. It's another gift pokemon, so
grab it. It even comes in a Beast Ball.
Poipole, unlike the rest of the Ultra Beasts, is able to evolve. To evolve it, you must teach it Dragon Pulse, but it
actually doesn't learn it by levelling up. Dragon Pulse is Lv. 1 move, so you need to take Poipole to one of the
many Move Relearners and get it there. For those people who want to have a complete dex listing in their PC's
with all possible pokemon, however, do NOT evolve Poipole, as you will receive a Gift Naganadel towards the
end of the Alola Region.
As a reminder, in case you don't want to go searching through this guide for them, there is a Move Relearner in
Blackthorn City in Johto. I chose it because it is, in my opinion, the easiest to find.
Anyways, that's today's quest done. Go back to Kukui's House and sleep.
Continue north and west. Sophocles wants the Ultra Beast for himself and you have to fight him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Sophocles
Togedemaru LV 36

Rotom Dex suggests visiting Kiawe on the farm, so go back to Route 1 and take Charizard to Paniola Ranch.
Kiawe is right there, so fight him.

sea. Fight her.

Next, Rotom Dex sends you to Aina's Kitchen in Hau'oli City (it's the fancy house on the western side of the city),
where you will fight Mallow.

Steenee LV 37
TAPU VILLAGE:
Weather Forecast: Sometimes Rainy
Fishing (Old Rod): Tentacool and Finneon.
Fishing (Good Rod): Bruxish and Wishiwashi.
Fishing (Super Rod): Tentacool, Finneon, Bruxish, and Wishiwashi.
First of all, enter the house NE from you and talk to Nanu.
ICONIC BATTLE
ISLAND KAHUNA NANU (1v1)
Krookodile LV 33
He will fight you. This will also update the Alolan teleport system, adding the Tapu Village Pokemon Centre.
Then, go out and talk to the lady east from the house to obtain a Razor Claw.
SE of the Pokémon Centre are some Murkrow surrounding a Honchkrow. Talk to the Honchkrow to get a Black
Sludge.
There are three paths out of the village, but the NW one is blocked. Go through the NE path first to Haina Desert.
HAINA DESERT:
Weather forecast: Sandstorm
Wild Pokemon: Trapinch, Sandile, Mudsdale, Alolan Dugtrio, Alolan Diglett. Level 27-32.
This place is not too bad: a few trainers, and a bunch of items -- and they are all visible too!
From the start, go west and grab a Big Nugget. Then go northeast and get a Moon Stone.
Then go west and north for a Max Elixir and another trainer.
Sailor Al
Wishiwashi LV 31
Whiscash LV 31
Krokorok LV 31
Then go west, north, and east around the rock formation to your north to grab the last item: a Hyper Potion. Then
go north and east, and then north through the exit.
RUINS OF ABUNDANCE:
Go to Tapu Bulu, fight it, and catch it. Tapu Bulu is neither fast nor heavy, and it’s level 35, so Timer Balls are the
way to go. Unfortunately, Tapu Bulu also activates Grassy Terrain, which means that HP is restored to both
Pokemon each turn. This makes catching it VERY frustrating, unless you have a Pokemon that can activate its
own terrain.
ICONIC ENCOUNTER
Tapu Bulu LV 35
Then return through the desert to Tapu Village. Nanu won't fight you again yet -- if you talk to him, he tells you to
go to Thrifty Megamart, and find some people who were looking for you. So leave the village through the southern
exit to Route 14.
ROUTE 14:
Weather Forecast: Sometimes Rainy
Wild Pokemon: Cutiefly, Drampa, Salandit, Gengar, Blissey. Level 27-32.
Fishing (Old Rod): Tentacool and Finneon.
Fishing (Good Rod): Bruxish and Wishiwashi.
Fishing (Super Rod): Tentacool, Finneon, Bruxish, and Wishiwashi.
Right at the start, grab a Max Potion. Go south and east along the path, beating three trainers along the way.
Swimmer Keoni
Pyukumuku LV 33
Fisherman Hisato
Feebas LV 31
Gyarados LV 31
Thrifty Megamart is at the end the biker outside is a Move Tutor for Twister. Grab a Max Revive to the west
before you go in.
The Pokémon you select to battle them will have the Ula’ula Trial Ribbon on it afterwards.
After you beat them, Acerola outside the Megamart will give you TM128 (Play Rough). Then go back to Tapu
Village and fight Nanu again. Note that this time, he fights you in a 1v3. All three of his pokemon, vs just ONE of
yours, so choose carefully.
ICONIC BATTLE
ISLAND KAHUNA NANU (1v3)
Krookodile LV 33
Sableye LV 33
Alolan Persian LV 33
The Pokémon you select to battle him will have the Ula’ula Grand Trial Ribbon on it afterwards.
You will get the Lycanium-Z when you defeat him. Also, the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City in Kanto has a new area
for you to explore: Safari Zone Alola!
As stated before, this is the only location where you can catch a Togedemaru for yourself at the moment.
There are 2 items: A PP Max and an Ice Stone. There's also a hidden Nugget: It's in the bush NW of the lake in
the SW corner.
When you've caught what you want, head back to Kukui's House and sleep. On the way back, the Trumbeak on
Route 1 has evolved into a Toucannon and will give you a Kebia Berry.
ICONIC ENCOUNTER
Blacephalon LV 35
Now that errand is done, head to the lab. When you pass through Hau'oli City, you'll notice that the person who
was guarding the easternmost house on the road has left. You can now enter and grab whatever is inside. It turns
out to be... a Cosmog! This will come in handy if you're trying to have a living dex. Talk to Kukui and you'll be told
that you're going to Hokulani Observatory now. To get there, first take the ship from Hau'oli City to Mount
Lanakila. Go west and enter the cave that used to be blocked by a Boldore.
Go south, down the stairs, NW, then up the stairs for another ice maze. This one contains an Iron in the NW
corner and TM124 (Arm Thrust) SE of that.
The next area is fairly open. It has the last ice field (but that one has nothing interesting). There is a Rare Candy
hidden in a rock. Walk south from the northern ice maze and check the second rock to your east you pass (it's
SW from the first rock).
MOUNT HOKULANI:
Weather Forecast: Occasionally Snowy
Wild Pokemon: *Minior, Alolan Dugtrio, Ditto, Skarmory, Alolan Raichu. Level 32.
While this is a pretty large area, you can only move along a narrow path. First you'll see a boulder that hides a
Moon Ball, then fight a trainer next to it.
Picnicker Jessica
Clefairy LV 35
The next boulder hides a Heavy Ball. There's a hole in the fence that leads to a grass patch and another trainer.
Poke Maniac Sky
Minior LV 33 x3
Go west and north from the hole for another two trainers.
Hiker Thomas
Alolan Geodude LV 35
Grab a Level Ball from the boulder there. Continue north to the final area.
Grab a Fast Ball from the boulder on your right -- that's the only boulder here that hides anything. The class is
here, so talk to Kukui. You missed the tour. Bummer. Nothing to do but to go back. Lillie will ambush you once
you enter the Mount Lanakila Cave and fight you.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Lillie
Alolan Vulpix (Snowy) LV 36
Go back to Kukui's House and talk to Kukui. He'll send you to the Royal Avenue Battle Dome. Once there, you
will team up with the Masked Royal. Beat the two trainers.

That's all for today. Head back to the lab for some sleep.
After they leave, Mina thanks you for your help and tells you about a strange pokemon hanging out near the
school. Before we do that, talk to a new guy south of the Pokemon Centre. He will give you a Fairium-Z. Now let’s
head back to Aether Paradise as another new guy shows up there. Left of the person who trades you a
Togedemaru, there is a guy who will give you a Mewnium-Z. Now let’s head back to school. Stakataka is south of
the school entrance. Let's fight (and catch) it.

Head inside the cave, and proceed north to Lunala. Make sure to grab the Lunalium-Z on your way. Fight and
catch it - it's not heavy or fast so Timer Balls are recommended.
Lunala LV 42
Then talk to Lunala to enter Ultra Deep Space. There is Necrozma at the north end; catch it with Heavy Balls.
Necrozma LV 45
Once you've caught it, everything returns to normal. Make sure to grab the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer on the
way out. They’re items which allow you to fuse Necrozma with Solgaleo and Lunala respectively. And now that
everyone is awake... It's time to go home and sleep.
* DAY 24: HAU, TAPU KOKO & GUZZLORD, AND VISITS FROM OLD
FRIENDS *
Rotom suggests that you go for a walk in the woods, so head up to Melemele Forest just west of the school.
There's a new trainer in the first part of the path.
MINOR ICONIC
Lass Pikala
Pikachu LV 37 x4

Pikachu LV 38 (Boss) (shiny)
Afterwards, return to Route 1. Tapu Koko is right outside the School. Catch it. Note that Tapu Koko has the move
Wild Charge, which does recoil damage, so it's risky to reduce it to 1HP. It's fast, so fast balls are recommended.
ICONIC ENCOUNTER
Tapu Koko LV 40
Immediately after that battle, you are transported by Tapu Koko to the Ultra Ruin and face a trainer with a
Zeraora.
MINOR ICONIC
Cool Trainer Dia
Zeraora LV 40
After beating him he tells you of a Guzzlord that must be defeated before you can return to your world. Head
north and catch the Guzzlord. As it's an Ultra Beast, Beast Balls are the best method of capture.
Guzzlord LV 45
After catching Guzzlord, you are transported back to Route 1 where you faced Tapu Koko. Rotom tells you that
he just got a message from Kukui to head to the school for a 'surprise'.
The surprise turns out to be Misty, who has come to Alola on vacation. Fight her.

That's it for today. Let's head back to Kukui's house and sleep.
SEAFOLK VILLAGE:
Fishing (Old Rod): Wingull.
Fishing (Good Rod): Relicanth, Wailmer, and Dhelmise.
Fishing (Super Rod): Wingull, Relicanth, Wailmer, and Dhelmise.
When you arrive in the Seafolk Village harbour, go north and west along the 2nd pier. The man in the house will
give you a Nugget. On the central platform is a girl who will give you a Smoke Ball.
To the west of the central platform, there's a dead end with a Waterium-Z.
To the east of the central platform is a ship moored on the easterm pier. Inside, there are several cabins with
trainers and items. In the main hallway, there's an older guy who'll give you a Mimikium-Z.
First cabin has 1 trainer and a Magmarizer.
Swimmer Marcus
Exeggcute LV 38 (shiny)
Second cabin has nothing, but the third cabin has another trainer and an Electirizer.
Tuber Kira
Sylveon LV 38
Towards the end of the hall is a vendor who will sell you Heart Scales for 100 apiece and Nectars to change your
Oricorio’s form for 300 apiece. That's all inside the ship, so head back outside.
Note that both ships can be entered, but the other ship is full of nothing but NPCs, so nothing of note.
Outside the Pokemon Centre is a Move Tutor for Seed Bomb. The centre itself has a tuber that will give you a
Lucky Punch.
PONI WILDS:
Wild Pokemon: Oricorio, Trumbeak, Spinarak, Granbull, Gumshoos, Pinsir. Level 30-38.
Fishing (Old Rod): Wingull and Wishiwashi.
Fishing (Good Rod): Relicanth, Golduck, and *Meltan.
Fishing (Super Rod): Wingull, Wishiwashi, Relicanth, Golduck, and *Meltan.
Let's start by going west past a grass patch. There is a guy guarding the top of the stairs who won't let you pass
without a Meltan, so we'll come back to him later. For now, head north and face a trainer.
Sailor Fil
Parasect LV 38
Ribombee LV 38
Grab the Rare Candy in the NW corner. There is also a hidden Big Pearl on the one empty tile inside a grass
patch. Afterwards, retrace your steps back to the dock entrance.
This time, go east and north. Grab the Purple Nectar in the grass patch, then go further north to grab the Dusk
Stone in the clearing.
Continue east and pick up the TM123 (Slack Off) in the grass patch beyond the clump of trees.
Head south and you'll see a ledge that can take you back to the entrance if you need to heal up. Continue east
past two trainers that can be fought as a team if you choose to.
Cool Trainer Lindsey
Garbodor LV 38
Toxapex LV 38
Continue east and grab the Repeat Ball. Head north up onto the plateau and grab two items, a Babiri Berry and a
Wacan Berry.
Head back south and now continue on east to the Ancient Poni Path.
First things first is to face off against TS who is guarding the entrance into the barren farm.
ICONIC BATTLE
TS Tupp, Rapp, & Zipp
Salandit LV 39
Zubat LV 39
Yungoos LV 35
Garbodor LV 39
Now that they're taken care of, go north through the fence and into the barren farm.
There are many Berry Patches here. We haven't seen these in a while. Feeling the nostalgia yet?
From left to right, they contain: 80 Hondew Berries, 8 Pamtre Berries, 80 Watmel Berries, 80 Apicot, Enigma,
Durin, Liechi Berries, 2 Pecha Berries... then no berries? Oh wait, there's a hidden Revival Herb! Then there's 80
Belue Berries, 8 Cheri Berries, 80 Figy Berries, 8 Occa Berries, 80 Tamato Berries and 8 Payapa Berries.
Excellent patch. 10/10.
Grab the visible PP Up, and then talk to Hapu, who accuses you of stealing her crops. You must fight her to
convince her you mean no harm... weird logic, I know.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Hapu
Golurk LV 40
She tells you that she can't help you find the Island Kahuna at the moment, and Rotom Dex suggests that you
return to Seafolk Village and inquire there.
Before you do so, there are several trainers and items that we can grab here.
Go back to the path and continue east until you hit the woods. In the grass patch south of you is a Shiny Stone.
North of the grass patch are a pair of guards blocking the entrance to Tapu Fini's home, so we'll leave it alone for
now.
Ignore the northern path for now and head back to Seafolk Village. Lillie is waiting for you in the central plaza.
Beat her.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Lillie
Alolan Vulpix (Snowy) LV 38
After fighting her, she tells you to talk to Gladion, her brother, who is back on the Ancient Poni Path.
Head back to the 3-way intersection on the Ancient Poni Path. Then head north and face the two trainers on the
path.
Lass Aviar
Oricorio LV 36 x4 (all forms)
The boat at the end of the path is now accessible as a route to the Vast Poni Canyon. As you travel through the
canyon again, go east, north, and west at the second fork. Here, roughly in the centre of the area, you will find
Sophocles. Fight him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Sophocles
Togedemaru LV 37
Vikavolt LV 39
After beating him, he sends you to ask Lana about the Kahuna. Lana is at the Beach in the Poni Wilds, so return
there. The guard by the western stairs who wanted to see a Meltan now allows you through (despite not actually
having a Meltan). This means that you can also finally fish here and catch yourself a Meltan. But the real reason
you're here is to fight Lana who appears next to the northern big rock.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Lana
Brionne LV 39
Eevee LV 38 (Sandy)
She, too, does not know where the Island Kahuna is, but recommends that you should fight Tapu Fini now.
Before you leave, check two tiles right and three tiles north from here to find a hidden Rare Candy.
The two guards at the western end of the Ancient Poni Path are now gone, allowing you to face Tapu Fini. Before
you can face it though, you must fight Mallow, who is standing guard outside the entrance.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Mallow
Tsareena LV 39
Now you can head past her and enter the Poni Breaker Coast.
You can now enter the Poni Breaker Coast. Kiawe is waiting along the path for another fight.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Kiawe
Charizard LV 39
Alolan Marowak LV 40
Turtonator LV 40
In the lower section, there are three items to grab, a Gracidea, a Flyinium-Z, and a Max Revive. There's also
another trainer close to the shore.
Tuber Jamie
Sandshrew LV 37
Vulpix LV 37
Geodude LV 37
Graveler LV 37
Below this trainer, you will find Tapu Fini. Net Balls are recommended.
Tapu Fini LV 40
The Pokémon you select to battle her will have the Poni Grand Trial Ribbon on it afterwards.
Beating her gets you the Steelium-Z. Rotom Dex then tells you that you're done for today and to go back to sleep.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for Meltan to evolve, it must level up while HOLDING the Rare Candy, not by eating
it.
After you get the Meltan, Head back outside... only for you to hear a commotion inside. Head back in to be
confronted by TR.
ICONIC BATTLE
TR Jessie & James
Mimikyu LV 43
Mareanie LV 40
Wobbuffet LV 52
After you beat them, head out of the school again. Rotom Dex will let you know of another Ultra Beast that was
spotted on Route 3. Head north there. Note that to the east of the entrance is a gift Zeraora. Be sure to grab that.
On Route 3, head north and you will see Pherosma to the right of the path. Catch it.
ICONIC ENCOUNTER
Pheromosa LV 40
Afterwards, head back to the school. Kukui is outside talking to Guzma about a possible Pokemon League.
Guzma doesn't think it's needed, as he knows he's the strongest. Prove to him how wrong he is.
ICONIC BATTLE
Skull Boss Guzma
Golisopod LV 43
After you beat him, he leaves. Talk to Kukui, who then tells you to head home.
Before we go there, head back to Melemele Forest. A new pokeball containing a Cosmog showed up near the
second trainer. Nice! This’ll come in handy if you’re trying to have a full living dex of all the pokemon in the game.
Now to go to Malie City, take the boat to Tapu Village, then head east. The boulders that were blocking the path
are now gone, allowing us to proceed to Route 12.
ROUTE 12:
Wild Pokemon: Pikipek, Eevee, Passimian, Froslass, Hariyama (LV 30 - 34)
As you enter route 12, there are 2 grass patches with a trainer in between them to the north, and a beach to the
south. Let's head south first.
MINOR ICONIC
Burglar Hunter D
Seismitoad LV 39
Go south from the female trainer and turn right to find an X Attack nestled between the two boulders on the
underside. You can also find a Burn Heal in the boulder above the male trainer, and a visible Psychium-Z. In the
rock directly below it, there is a hidden Rare Candy. You can also find a hidden Big Pearl. Start by lining yourself
east of the boulder where the Burn Heal was, then go one step up and the Big Pearl is in the tile west of you.
You're done here so head up into the grass patches and fight the trainer between them.
MINOR ICONIC
Cool Trainer De Rosa
Vikavolt LV 39
Follow the eastern patch to find a Hyper Potion. Follow the path up past a third grass patch and two more
trainers.

Grab the Moon Stone below them. Follow the path down, but be sure to grab the PP Up in the rubble right before
jumping back down to the starting area. Proceed back up the path and continue past two more grass patches.
There will be a trainer and an Elixir at the top of the path as you turn left.
Poke Maniac Andrew (Double Battle)

Magneton LV 37
Larvesta LV 37
Porygon2 LV 37
ROUTE 11:
Wild encounters: Pikipek, Hariyama, Froslass, Eevee, Passimian (LV 30 - 34)
Head into the lower grass patch to find a Quick Ball. In the inside bend of the grass (southeast of the double
trainers), there is a hidden Stardust. Then, fight the pair of trainers in a double battle.
Cool Couple Sorano & Sho
Gengar LV 37
Clefable LV 38
Just northwest of them is a Big Mushroom in another grass patch. Go back to the path, which now splits into two.
On the bottom, you'll find a trainer and a Marshadium-Z. West of it is a rock containing another Stardust.
Black Belt Alvaro
Bewear LV 39
Follow the path as it reconnects, grabbing a hidden Star Piece in the top left corner of the grass southwest of the
final trainer of this route in the process. After that, fight him and head into Malie City.
Youngster Hayden
Dedenne LV 39
MALIE CITY:
There are six houses in front of you when you enter the city. In the closest house, you'll find a guy who'll give you
some items when you beat the gym here. The second house up on the right has a girl who gives you a Twisted
Spoon. The third house up on the left has a guy who gives out a Max Repel. To the northeast of the upper-right
house is a guy who gives you a Nugget and a Larvitar that gives you a Yellow Apricorn.
East of here there is a green Poke Mart clone that sells type-enhancing items. It has two clerks. The upper one
sells:
Hard Stone - 1000
Mystic Water - 1000
Magnet - 1000
Miracle Seed - 1000
Poison Barb - 1000
Twisted Spoon - 1000
Charcoal - 1000
Soft Sand - 1000
To the right of the shop is a Darkinium-Z and a Move Tutor for Sucker Punch.
To the northwest of the 6 houses is a guy whose Eevee are blocking the way. Depending on your answer, he'll
give you two or three stones; whichever elements you DIDN'T pick. Two if you picked one of the elements, three
if you picked neither. The choice here is obvious.
In the fenced area behind the Pokemon Centre is a girl who will trade her Happiny for a Pancham. The Centre
itself has a woman who will give you a Reaper Cloth.
We've gotten all the goodies we can for now, so let's hit the gym. The leader, Ryuki, uses dragon types so plan
accordingly.

Zweilous LV 41
Druddigon LV 41
When you beat him, he gives you a Kantonian Badge, and TM131 (Dragon Rush).
Now head back to the house closest to the entrance of Malie City and talk to the guy. You will receive: a Heat
Rock, a Damp Rock, an Icy Rock, and a Smooth Rock. Head back to the lab and get some sleep.
Along the way, stop by the school grounds and pick up the Firium-Z to the west of the school entrance.
In Hau'oli City, head to Lillie's house, and approach the Ultra Beast on the eastern side of the house. However,
Viren stops you, claiming that the pokemon destroyed his safe and he wants to make it pay. Fight him.
MINOR ICONIC
Gambler Viren
Electivire LV 38
Pangoro LV 38
After you beat him, he'll let you fight the Ultra Beast in peace.
Kartana LV 43
After you catch it, Rotom tells you to head back to the school. Before we do, however, head into Lillie’s house and
enter the study to find a gift Magearna. Then head back to Vast Poni Canyon. Near the entrance to Altar of the
Sunne is another Lv 30 Type: Null!
As you’re heading back to the school, be sure to pick up the Firium Z off to the left of the entrance.
In class, Kukui announces that it’s time for the Alola League tournament. Take the southern ferry to Manalo
Stadium.
MANALO STADIUM:
Wild Pokemon: Toucannon, Butterfree, Wingull, Ribombee, Vulpix, Krabby, Mudsdale, Graveler, Fomantis (LV 35
- 38)
You'll arrive at the stadium to see it's overflowing with TS Grunts. They're blocking all the usual shops as well.
Face the Skull Trio blocking the entrance.
ICONIC BATTLE
TS Tupp, Rapp, & Zipp
Salandit LV 39

After you beat them, the TS grunts all leave, and you can access the vendors. As usual, there's a berry shop, an
incense shop, and a shop selling drinks.
Inside the stadium, business is blooming as usual. Register and head to the first stage, on the far left.
The first stage is a Battle Royale (yes, like the ones in Fortnite!). You must select one of your Pokémon and beat
three of the trainers in order to proceed to the top 16. They can be any of the trainers in any order. The Pokémon
you select will have the Manalo Ribbon after it’s selected.
If you head past Nanu and continue straight south (Mallow's Path), you will meet:

After this, the path splits 3 ways. Taking the far south-west route, making for Kiawe, you meet:

Note that once you defeat one of the first options, all the other first option trainers will no longer fight you, this
means that you can choose any combination of inner, mid, and outer ring trainers to fight.
WHEW! Now that that's over, we're in the top 16, and can proceed to the next stage, to the right of the first stage.
ICONIC LEAGUE BATTLE
Scientist Faba (1v1)
Hypno LV 46
The Pokémon you select to battle will have the Manalo Ribbon afterwards.
Now it's the finals. Your Mom and Prof. Oak have come to cheer you on, with the latter giving you a Rare Candy
to evolve your Meltan when you show him one in case you’ve used all the Rare Candies in the game that you
found so far. Head to the next stadium on your right.
ICONIC LEAGUE BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Gladion (3v3)
Silvally LV 49
Zoroark LV 48
Lycanroc-Night LV 48
The Pokémon you select to battle will have the Manalo and Champion Ribbons afterwards.
After you beat him, congrats, you've won the league! You’ll get to see the famous Hall of Fame cutscene. After
this, head back outside. There's a bit of a situation with some rowdy Guzzlord. Head around back to help the
Masked Royal with his Guzzlord. There's also a free Naganadel to the left of them, in case you needed an extra
one. Even though ours never had to leave us, which now gives us two Naganadel if we’d made sure to evolve our
Poipole. Or, if we didn't, it now allows us to fill both slots in the PC for a complete living dex.
You might want to consider catching this Guzzlord as well. Not only is it LV 50, it's also shiny.
Once you beat/catch it, the Masked Royal will lose his mask, revealing... Professor Kukui. Who knew, eh? He
now challenges you to a full 6v6 exhibition match. Let's head back inside for the grand finale.
Once you beat him, he'll give you the Tapunium-Z. You'll be taken back to the main lobby, where everyone is
gathered in a suffocating mass to congratulate you. Talk to Kukui again, and you'll be sent back to his lab for a
good night's rest.
...apparently Doug likes to follow us through the regions for some reason. Anyway, head to school.
Kukui tells the class that their vacation is starting and the school will be on break. The class announces their
intentions to split up and do different things.
As a going-away present, however, Kiawe wants to battle you one last time... I think we can oblige him.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokemon Trainer Kiawe (1v1)
Charizard LV 50
After you beat him, Rotom Dex announces that it's leaving as well to work with the Aether Foundation. Oh well. I
guess that's one less thing following us around, plus you can use your bike and Fly again, so yay? Wait, isn’t
there something else I’m forgetting about…? Oh right, you’d be able to use Escape Ropes too!
Once you've said your goodbyes, head back to Kanto, and talk to Oak again. He'll congratulate you on becoming
Champion of Alola but has to cut the reunion short as he has to attend the opening of a new lab in Vermilion City.
He invites you to join him, so let’s do that. But first, you can also put the World Cap on Pikachu from the right Cap
Drawer in your room. Head to Vermilion City to start Gen 8.
VERMILION CITY:
First, head into the new lab to witness the opening ceremony. Well, except it's been interrupted by a Lugia's been
spotted near the pier. So naturally, we're going to check that out.
Once you get to the entrance of the pier, you'll see Lugia and meet Goh, who tells you that his dream is to catch
Mew. Cool, I guess.
Now head back to the lab and walk up to Cerise, the new professor in town. He'll suggest that you become one of
his research assistants, to which you have no choice but to accept. Oh well.
Going downstairs, you'll be informed about your first assignment, which is to check out the mass outbreak of
Ivysaur in town. He'll also give you a Rotom Phone, because Wynaut?
This would also be a good time to explain how this part of the game works. In the anime, Ash goes travelling
across every region with Goh at his side. This means that this part of the game works very similarly to how Alola
did, except on a much larger scale and that you don't have to go to bed to progress the story.
Anyway, head north towards Bill's Lighthouse and you'll see the outbreak. Walk into the empty middle section to
see that Team Rocket's back up to no good again.
ICONIC BATTLE
TR Jessie and James
Gyarados LV 5
Tyranitar LV 5
Wobbuffet LV 53
It's nice how Gyarados and Tyranitar pop out of Rocket Balls like they did in the anime!
Once you've sent them blasting off again, head back to the lab and report back to Cerise. He'll then give you your
ACTUAL first assignment that he intended on giving, which is to go to Galar and investigate a phenomenon
causing Pokémon to grow giant.
Head to Saffron City and get the train to Wyndon. Galar here we come!!!
WYNDON:
Weather Forecast: Very rarely rainy
Lumiose City vibes anyone? This is a massive city. We'll explore by going in an anticlockwise direction. I'm not
American, sorry not sorry. Though I will spell things how they are in the game, even if it triggers me.
Right outside of the train station is a Dawn Stone, then in the house right next to the train station, there's three
people that'll give you an Exp. Candy S, Exp. Candy XL and a Rare Candy.
Then a bit further east, there'a mini park of sorts with an X Attack in the south section. After grabbing that, go
north and enter the house to find a Silk Scarf lying around, waiting for you to take it.
Following the road west, there's an old guy that gives you a gift LV 10 Scorbunny. And that's our first catch from
the Galar region!
Beyond the bridge further north, there's Wyndon Stadium. There's nothing of interest there at the moment apart
from the Incense Shop outside with the usual incenses.
You could also try fishing here, but you'll find nothing since there aren't any encounters defined here.
West of Wyndon Stadium is Rose Tower. Nothing to do here either right now, but a guy outside will give you a
Cell Battery.
Further west of that is a hotel called "The Rose of the Rondelands". You can talk to the receptionist here to get an
Air Balloon. Outside of the hotel is a HP Up.
Cross the bridge south and continue heading down, grabbing the Full Restore on the right as you go. The first
house that can be entered is a Café that sells Lemonade and Moomoo Milk. The woman inside will give you a
Lemonade.
Left of the Pokémon Center is a shop that sells type-boosting gems, like the one back on Route 9 in Unova.
And that's all there is to do here for now. Head south so the guy (who I will refer to as the Flying Taxi from now
on) can take you to the Wild Area.
WILD AREA:
The Wild Area... is massive. Even more so than any other area we've explored so far in the game. To put simply,
there are 6 areas in the Wild Area, each with their own set of encounters and weathers. The further south you go,
the stronger the wild Pokémon you can find.
Let's call the location you start off in "Area 1". It's the top left corner of the Wild Area and covers the area around
the lake to the south west of where you start. It's also sunny here sometimes.
It contains a Full Restore, Energy Root and a hidden Big Mushroom in the bush south of the grass patch in the
corner.
Area 1 Wild Pokémon: *Wooloo, *Rookidee, Maractus, Grubbin, Seedot, Snorlax. Level 5-15.
Fishing (Old Rod): Tympole and Goomy.
Fishing (Good Rod): Goomy and Tympole.
Fishing (Super Rod): Tympole and Goomy. (Level 15-25 unlike the above)
"Area 2" is the area east of where you start and spans south to roughly at the bottom of the grass patch on the
east side. There is a sandstorm here sometimes.
It contains a Shed Shell, Stardust, Max Revive, Revival Herb and a guy that gives you a Hyper Potion.
Area 2 Wild Pokémon: *Stonjourner, *Sinistea, Hippopotas, *Galarian Yamask, *Dreepy, Phamtump, Flygon.
Level 5-15.
Fishing (Old Rod): Frillish and Goomy.
Fishing (Good Rod): Goomy and Frillish.
Fishing (Super Rod): Frillish and Goomy. (Level 15-25)
If you bring a Galarian Yamask to the rock pillar next to the Max Revive (and interact with it) after it’s taken 49 HP
of damage, it’ll evolve into a Runerigus.
Area 3 is the area south of Area 1 and spans south to the 2 flowers between the rock formation and the bridge. It
can be foggy here sometimes.
It contains a Big Pearl, Rawst Berry, Heart Scale and a person that gives you a Heal Bell.
Area 3 Wild Pokémon: *Skwovet, *Nickit, *Blipbug, Boldore, Butterfree, Ribombee, Braviary. Level 20-35, but
Braviary can go up to LV 35.
Area 4 is the area south of Area 2 and spans south to the bridge and is also where you currently need to go to
progress the story. There's always clear skies here.
It contains a Soothe Bell, Big Mushroom and 2 hidden items - a Quick Ball in the rock in the sand and an Ultra
Ball in the closest rock to the dead end.
Area 4 Wild Pokémon: *Applin, *Silicobra, Blipbug, *Sizzlipede, Braviary. Same levels as Area 3.
Fishing (Old Rod): *Arrokuda and *Cramorant.
Fishing (Good Rod): Cramorant and Arrokuda.
Fishing (Super Rod): Arrokuda and Cramorant. (Level 30-40)
Since we have to go through Area 4 to get to Areas 5 and 6, we may as well do the story stuff first.
Note that since it’s like a trainer battle, you can’t catch these “Dynamax Pokémon”.
At this point you could go back to the lab to progress the story, but let’s explore Areas 5 and 6 first!
Area 5 is the area SW of the lake/river under the bridge. It rains here sometimes.
It contains a Heavy Ball, Kee Berry, Rare Candy and a hidden Lum Berry in a mini island with a cut tree. It’s to
the left of the cut tree.
Area 5 Wild Pokémon: *Cufant, *Galarian Meowth, *Galarian Corsola, *Clobbopus, *Morpeko, Galarian Weezing,
*Duraludon. Level 40-50, though Duraludons are level 50-60.
Fishing (Old Rod): *Chewtle and *Galarian Slowpoke.
Fishing (Good Rod): Galarian Slowpoke and Chewtle.
Fishing (Super Rod): Chewtle and Galarian Slowpoke. (Level 50-60)
Unfortunately, this is the only place you can find Duraludon and it's a 1% chance... good luck. There are also two
boulders above the mount at the SW corner of the area - if you interact with them with a Kubfu in your party
(multiple of them can be obtained later), they’ll evolve into the Urshifu form which corresponds with that colour.
Last but not least, Area 6. It's the area south of the bridge and spans west to the edge of the lake/river under the
bridge. It snows here sometimes.
It contains a Lure Ball, Max Soup (which you can use on Pikachu to allow it to Gigantamax), Focus Sash,
Leftovers, a hidden Full Restore in the eastern boulder and a hiker that'll give you a Choice Scarf.
Area 6 Wild Pokémon: *Gossifleur, *Snom, *Galarian Zigzagoon, Clobbopus, *Rolycoly, Boltund. Same levels as
Area 5.
Fishing (Old Rod): Galarian Corsola and *Galarian Stunfisk.
Fishing (Good Rod): Galarian Stunfisk and Galarian Corsola.
Fishing (Super Rod): Galarian Corsola and Galarian Stunfisk.
Here you can catch Boltund, but if you'd like a Yamper without breeding you'll have to wait a little bit.
Phew! That's the entire Wild Area in Fire Ash. Now head back to the lab to progress the story.
Cerise now suggests that you take a break and head to Hoenn's Battle Frontier by getting the 2nd ship from the
left hand side of the pier.
HOENN BATTLE FRONTIER:
Unlike the one back in Kanto, this is just one place in Hoenn and is very short.
Outside, there's 2 vendors here (the left one sells berries, the right one sells drinks like the ones you find at
leagues).
Inside, there's a Poké Mart and a competition called the Battle Frontier Flute Cup to enter. It consists of a room
with 3 trainers that you have to beat to get the prize at the end.
MINOR ICONIC SET
Crush Girl Meg
Seviper LV 10
Camper Thomas
Linoone LV 10
Biker Hodge
Hariyama LV 12
Mightyena LV 12
The prize is a set of flutes: Blue Flute, Yellow Flute, Red Flute and White Flute. Your Pokémon even get a
Winning Ribbon for winning!
Then, go back to Cerise and he'll tell you that Goh's on Dragonite Island. You can get there by taking the leftmost
boat on the pier.
DRAGONITE ISLAND:
Wild Pokémon: Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite (obviously). Level 12-18, except Dragonite which are LV 20.
There aren’t any fishing encounters defined here.
Stepping foot onto the Island, you'll see an ICONIC LV 13 Dragonite, with a Dragon Fang next to it.
Of course though, TR are up to no good again... let's send them blasting off again with our new buddy.
ICONIC BATTLE
TR Jessie and James
Wailord LV 14
Wobbuffet LV 53
Head back to Cerise and he'll tell you about the World Coronation Series. He'll tell you to hurry to watch the finals
in Wyndon Stadium.
Outside Wyndon Stadium, there's a Drednaw blocking your way in. Only one thing to do - brute force your way in.
ICONIC BATTLE
Dynamax Pokémon Drednaw
Drednaw LV 15 (G-Max)
Once you enter the Stadium, Leon gives you a Dynamax Band which'll allow you to Dynamax your Pokémon in
battles, but only in certain locations. He then challenges you to a battle for you to test it out.
Back in the lobby, Goh offers to fast travel you back to Cerise's Lab. We may as well accept the invitation.
Cerise now tells you to go to the Colossus Ruins in the Desert Resort, on Unova Route 4. Goh offers to fast travel
you again.
If you accept his offer, go north and enter the cave to the right. Otherwise, you could go to Nimbasa City and
head south from there, since it's closer to that side.
DESERT RESORT:
Wild Pokémon: Sandile, Silicobra, Woobat, Yamask, Sandile, Cofagrigus, Golurk. Level 14-19, with Golurk going
up to 21.
There's always a sandstorm here and encounters can happen anywhere on this map.
We're going to explore this area in a sort of anti-clockwise spiral. To start off with, go west for a trainer battle:
Hiker Agro
Stufful LV 19
Woobat LV 19
Growlithe LV 19
Go NE to find a Heart Scale. Then go north then west around the ruins to find a Max Ether, then go further west
to find an Exp Candy XL and another trainer.
Hiker Grant
Roggenrola LV 19 x2
Silicobra LV 18
Then go south for a Fire Stone, then hug the bottom wall and follow it to find a Black Glasses and a third trainer.
Hiker Harry
Eevee LV 18
Sentret LV 18
Herdier LV 18
Then go north for a Ground Gem and one more trainer before going into the ruins.
Hiker Peppy
Yamask LV 21
COLOSSUS RUINS:
No encounters here.
Don’t go past him though, because there’s nothing of value there. Instead go all the way left to get a visible Star
Piece. Then go back to the intersection and up for the penultimate trainer here:
MINOR ICONIC
Poké Mainiac Shane Seeker
Psyduck LV 19 (Shiny)
Onix LV 18 (Shiny)
Swinub LV 18 (Shiny)
Bagon LV 18 (Shiny)
Slakoth LV 18 (Shiny)
The last thing to do here is to talk to Goh and accept his offer to go back to the lab.
VERMILION CITY:
Now we get into the meat and potatoes of Pokémon Journeys: The Pokémon World Championships - wait no, I
mean the World Coronation Series, otherwise known as the WCS. Talk to Cerise to register for it. You’ll be placed
in the Normal Class (the lowest of the low) and then be instantly matched up with Visquez, who’s currently in the
Vermilion City Gym in Lt. Surge’s place.
Before going there though, go upstairs to find an ICONIC LV 20 Gengar to add to your team.
The gym now has two new trainers (who can be fought in a double battle) before you can face Visquez.
MINOR ICONIC
Rocker Steve (no known Pokémon in the anime)
Yamper LV 20

Once you exit the Gym, your Rotom Phone tells you about your next opponent in the WCS - Oliver in Vermilion
City, who’s in the middle of the light grass patch outside the lab.
MINOR ICONIC WCS BATTLE

Meganium LV 23 (Stanium)
After that, your next opponent is Hayden, who’s also located in Vermilion City. He’s outside the Pokémon Centre.
MINOR ICONIC WCS BATTLE
Tamer Hayden
Tauros LV 23
Then, ignore Cerise and go into the Pokémon Centre and Nurse Joy wants you to take care of an egg that’s
refusing to hatch… whatever that means. The egg contains an ICONIC Riolu and will hatch very quickly. If you
choose not to take it here though (or can’t because you have a full party), Nurse Joy will spawn outside the
Pokémon Centre
Return to the lab and talk to Cerise, who tells you to go to the Resort Area in Sinnoh. We can get there by taking
the leftmost ship in the pier.

where the first trainer was and go up and left around the trees to face another trainer and find a Thunder Stone.
Cool Trainer Fellin
Spinda LV 22
Kecleon LV 22
Then go down and right into a dead end. Interact with a rock to find a Big Mushroom and a Reaper Cloth at the
end of the dead end. After that, go all the way west to fight the final trainer on this route.

There is a Mansion in the NE corner to explore. The study’s off-limits, but in the first room you come across,
there’s a woman that gives you an Eviolite. The leftmost room is where you’ll heal your Pokémon when you need
to. Head back outside.
The SW corner of the area has a Berry Patch containing 10 Chesto Berries and 3 Lum Berries. Then head east
and fight the TR grunts.
TR Johnny

Between the first and second grunts is a Berry Patch containing 3 Pomeg Berries and 10 Rawst Berries.
After talking to the grunt next to the water, head back to the lab to find out about a tournament happening in
Shalour City. Again, take Goh’s offer to fast travel.
SHALOUR CITY:
Head into the building in the NE corner of the City, though talk to the Galarian Weezing for a Fairy Gem first.
Talk to the guy at the counter to enter a room with WCS trainers.
MINOR ICONIC WCS SET
Lass Kendra (1v1)
Goomy LV 25
Head back to the lab to find out that Leon’s having another exhibition match. Goh will offer to fast travel you
again; accept his offer.
WYNDON:
Next to the pond outside the train station is now a gift Sobble that you can add to your team. Then, head NE to
find Goh and Sonia and talk with the latter to hear her ramble about the Darkest Day (foreshadowing???).
On the bridge on the way to the stadium is an ICONIC LV 25 Galarian Farfetch’d holding… a fourth Leek.
Seriously, who needs that many?
Sonia already told us that the match between Leon and Raihan is already over, so talk to Raihan instead. Then
head outside to get another WCS battle, this time against Tony in Vermilion City’s Gym.
MINOR ICONIC WCS BATTLE (1v1)
Engineer Tony
Electabuzz LV 25
Then head into the Pokémon Centre to find your next opponent - Kricketina Kylie (the one that looks like a
picnicker).
MINOR ICONIC WCS BATTLE (1v1)

There are also multiple trades available here now, going clockwise from Kylie they are:
Your Psyduck for his Stunfisk
Your Sylveon for her Cufant

Head back to the lab and talk to Cerise, who tells you that Goh’s at the back, in Cerise Park, waiting for a battle.
ICONIC BATTLE
Pokémon Trainer Goh

After the battle, your Rotom Phone tells you that your next WCS battle is in Saffron City’s Dojo, so let’s head
there.
SAFFRON CITY:
The black belts will fight you, regardless of whether you previously fought them or not.
Ash actually loses to her and his next few battles, which is why your ranking goes down. Now head back to
Vermilion City for your next opponent.
MINOR ICONIC WCS BATTLE (1v1)
Youngster Electon
Octillery LV 26
… and we drop back to the Normal Class. Fantastic. Let’s head back to the lab so that Cerise can tell us about a
sandstorm that’s devastating Mauville City. Accept Goh’s offer to fast travel.
MAUVILLE CITY:
Wild encounters: Trapinch and Vibrava. Levels 24-27.
There are 5 trainers to battle before getting to the source of the sandstorm.

Surprise, surprise! It turns out that the source of the sandstorm was a LV 29 Flygon! Defeat it or catch it.
Once you do either, you’ll be fast travelled back to Cerise’s lab (you don’t get a choice here). Cerise will tell you
that Kukui wants you to visit Alola again. So take up Goh’s offer to fast travel you there.
POKÉMON SCHOOL:
Take your seat again, like we did not too long ago and then battle one of your classmates.

MINOR ICONIC WCS BATTLE
Cool Trainer Carmo (2v2)
Umbreon LV 27
Toucannon LV 27
This gets us back into the Great Class again! Nice, but doesn’t feel as meaningful as the first time round…
anyway, we get a rematch with Bea at the Cianwood City Gym.
CIANWOOD CITY:
Before going into the gym, talk to the Kingdra NE of the gym for a Dragon Gem. And now, time for the rematch!
Gym Leader Bea (2v2)
Hitmontop LV 30
Grapploct LV 31
When you exit the gym, tells you to go to Route 10, where he’s found a Zapdos. Let’s help him, since he’s fast
travelled us so many times. To get there, go east from Vermilion to Route 11, then go SE, since the guard will
now let you pass.
This is your first chance to get a Toxel and a Yamper (if you didn’t breed Boltund).
Scientist Humphrey
Voltorb LV 30
There’s a visible Max Ether in front of the gentleman with the Voltorb. Then go up and send TR blasting off again.
TR Jessie and James

Then go all the way left for a Rare Candy, then go right and down to fight a trainer.

Grab the Max Elixir in the dead end, then go left, down and grab the Thunder Stone near the corner. Then go
right to fight two more battles before getting to Zapdos.
Scientists Bernard and Tristen
Magnemite LV 30 -- Electabuzz LV 30 -- Yamper LV 30
Electabuzz LV 30 -- Magneton LV 30
ICONIC BATTLE
Legendary Pokémon Zapdos
Zapdos LV 40
Electabuzz LV 30
Bear in mind that this is also like a trainer battle (like the Dynamax Pokémon), so you can’t catch Zapdos here.
Once you beat Zapdos, you’ll be taken to the lab. Talk to Cerise and he’ll tell you to go to Wedgehurst to speak
with Prof. Mangolia by getting the train from Saffron City.
SLUMBERING WEALD:
… or not. Deja vu, we’re in a different area to what was advertised again.
This area foggy all the time, so I’d recommend following these steps:
1) Head north until you come across bushes in a V-shape. Hidden in the bottom one is a Mental Herb, then go
around them and grab the Smoke Ball.
2) Go north until you get into a fork in the road. Take the right hand side and check the boulder in the dead end
for an Elixir.
3) Go back to the fork and take the western path this time. Don’t walk into the gap between the two bushes first -
go around the trees and grab the Life Orb first. Then walk into the gap.
4) Head back south and battle the Centiskorch. You can Dynamax here too!
ICONIC BATTLE
Dynamax Pokémon Centiskorch
Centiskorch LV 35 (Centy; G-Max)
Then, head to Rose Tower by crossing the bridge and going west. Battle the Coalossal.
ICONIC BATTLE
Dynamax Pokémon Coalossal
Coalossal LV 35 (G-Max)
Head inside into Rose Tower and talk to Oleana (the woman guarding the lift). Then talk to Rose, who essentially
wants to sponsor you… given his previous dialogue, that’s shady. Talk to Oleana again to get out of there.
After the phone call, use the Pokémon Centre teleport or go back to the Flying Taxi and go to Hammerlocke.
HAMMERLOCKE:
Fishing (Old Rod): Cramorant and Goomy.
Fishing (Good Rod): Goomy and Cramorant.
Fishing (Super Rod): Cramorant and Goomy. Levels 25-39.
Despite the world ending stuff that’s happening, we can actually just take our time to explore this city.
Let’s start by going east from the Flying Taxi. In the easternmost house there’s a Move Maniac and a Move
Deleter. In the NE corner there’s a visible Sweet Apple and a woman in the house that’ll give you a Dire Hit.
Then go back to the Flying Taxi and head west. There’s a Dreepy on a bench that gives you a Shed Shell. NW of
it is a guy that’ll tell you about how all trade evolutions in the game have been changed and NE is a restaurant
with trainers for you to battle.
Cool Trainer Neil
Wobbuffet LV 32
Alcremie LV 32
Bayleef LV 32
Ability Patches can change a Pokémon’s ability to its hidden ability, then back to its first ability slot.
West of the Game Corner is another Brilliant Judge. South of him in the park is a Wise Glasses.
Now that we’ve explored the city, enter the gym. There’s a Move Tutor for Steel Beam here, but take the elevator
down. It turns out that Rose was behind the Dynamaxed Pokémon we had to battle. Wow, who would’ve
guessed?
ICONIC BATTLE
Chairman Rose (Double Battle)
Ferrothorn LV 36
Copperajah LV 38
Then take the elevator back up and go up the elevator the guard was blocking before. You’ll team up with Goh
again, this time to stop Eternatus. Make sure you’re prepared as there’s no going back once you’ve teamed up
with him!
ICONIC BATTLE
Dynamax Pokémon Eternatus and Meowth
Eternatus LV 50 (E-Max)
Meowth LV 25 (G-Max)
Once you beat it, you’ll be sent back to Cerise’s lab. But first, you can go back to the Slumbering Weald and
catch Zacian and Zamazenta, both of which are at LV 50. They also have their item that turns them into their
crowned forms behind them, being the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield respectively.
Next up is a few more (off screened) WCS battles! Head to Saffron City; Maike is near Route 24 gatehouse.
WCS BATTLE
Crush Girl Maike (1v1)
Scraggy LV 37
Your next opponent is Riven in Goldenrod City. He’s the Camper outside the Magnet Train station.

Head up through the woods, then talk to Mewtwo to battle it. Unfortunately you don’t get to catch it here if you
accidentally KOed the Mewtwo back in the Viridian Gym.

Once you defeat it, you’ll be teleported back to Cerise’s lab. Then talk to Cerise so that Goh can take you to the

Spinda LV 38
Your next opponent is Dozer on Route 10 in Kanto, but not near the Kanto Power Plant where we battled Zapdos
before. Instead head north from Lavender Town to go to another part of Route 10. Technically we could’ve come
here sooner, but the trainers’ Pokémon are scaled so that this is when we’re supposed to come here.
Dozer’s directly north of here, but we’ll explore this part of Route 10 first by going in an anticlockwise direction.
Go NE to face another trainer.
Tamer Laxton
Voltorb LV 37

Then head down the stairs and talk to the guy for a Beast Ball, then grab the Rocky Helmet above him.
Go back and go west around the houses to grab a Metal Coat next to the left side of the stairs.
Head NE from the stairs to grab another Max Revive and to go to Glimwood Tangle.

Going past her, you’ll see an item ball. You have to go all the way north, go down some stairs then go all the way
back. It’s a Rare Candy so it’s pretty worth it.
Go back to the stairs and take the top path first to grab a visible Sun Stone. Then go back and face the trainer,
though search the top rock in the two rocks to the east of him for a Full Restore.
Cool Trainer Revur
Torterra LV 41

Then talk to Goh and he’ll take you back to the lab. Talk to Cerise to find out that people in Sinnoh are suffering

Cerise then tells you that Opal wants you to go to the Ballonlea gym and Goh offers to take you there, but first,
let’s battle a few more trainers that have popped up on the path to Route 11.

BALLONLEA:
Talk to the guard in the stadium lobby to be taken to the stadium for a battle against Opal.
Gym Leader Opal
Alcremie LV 45 (G-Max)
Once you beat her, she makes everyone clear out, but you can go back inside! Talking to one of the chefs,
depending on the time of day, will determine what cream your Milcery has when it becomes an Alcremie.
If you come here during the day, the chefs (from left to right) will give you an Alcremie that is a Vanilla Cream,
Ruby Cream, Mint Cream or Lemon Cream. During the night the chefs give you an Alcremie that is a Macha
Cream, Salted Cream, Ruby Swirl or Caramel Swirl. If you come between 7pm and 8pm, a fifth chef will appear in
the middle of them - giving you a Rainbow Swirl Alcremie.
After that, you can go back to the lobby and buy a sweet for your Milcery to hold. Then level it up and it’ll evolve
into an Alcremie with the cream from the chef you picked and the sweet you gave it.
Once you’ve obtained as many Alcremie forms as you want, head to Stow-on-Side again and enter the gym on
the right.
STOW-ON-SIDE:
There are 4 trainers in the gym before you can battle Bea.
Black Belt Issac
Toxicroak LV 47
Heracross LV 47
Conkeldurr LV 47
Kubfu LV 47
Then head back to the lab to find out that Pokémon all around the world are turning back into eggs! What???
Accept Goh’s fast travel offer to help fix this mess. Then enter the portal next to the Pokémon Centre in Sandgem
Town to take you to an alternate version of Mt. Coronet.
MT. CORONET:
Oh. It’s just TR again. Let’s beat them up again.
ICONIC BATTLE
TR Alternate James and Alternate Jessie
Meowth LV 48
Wobbuffet LV 48
Once you beat them, you’ll be taken back to Sandgem Town. If you talk to Goh, he’ll take you back to the lab with
him.
Then, talk to Cerise to find out that Allister wants to meet you in his gym. Take up Goh’s fast travel offer and head
to the gym on the left in Stow-on-Side.
Channeler Belle
Froslass LV 48
Drakloak LV 48 (Shiny)

Channeler Cindy
Umbreon LV 48
Alolan Marowak LV 48

Dusclops LV 48

Then talk to Allister for a Max Soup (Ash uses it on his Gengar). If you want more, the vendor next to him sells
them for 10000 each. When you exit the gym, Dawn calls you to go to Canalave City. She’ll be in the library.
But first, we can actually catch the Galarian Birds in the Wild Area! Galarian Moltres is in Area 2 next to the pillar
where you evolve Galarian Yamask, Galarian Zapdos is in Area 4, NE of the scientists that gave you the Galarian
fossil Pokémon and Galarian Articuno is in Area 5 (if you just head SW from the long bridge you’ll see it).
They’re all LV 50 and I recommend using Fast Balls on Zapdos (since it's fast), and Timer Balls on the other 2,
like with their Kantonian counterparts.
In the library, talk to Cynthia and she’ll give you one of the starter Pokémon from Legends: Arceus to choose
from: Rowlet, Cyndaquil and Oshawott (or none, but why would you pass up a free Pokémon???). They’ll be at
LV 35.
Something’s up, so you’re taken to Oreburgh City. Enter the Pokémon Centre and battle Brock.
ICONIC BATTLE
Breeder Brock

GALAR ROUTE 7:
Wild Pokémon: Galarian Zigzagoon, Milcery, Galarian Meowth, Galarian Farfetch’d, *Pinchurchin, Runerigus,

for two more trainers.

Gliscor LV 52
Crobat LV 52
Delibird LV 52
In the dead end there’s a Choice Specs and a hidden Quick Ball in the tile right below the tree. Then go and

ICONIC BATTLE
Pokémon Trainer Marnie
Grimmsnarl LV 55 (G-Max)
Then head back to the lab and talk to Goh, who wants help for his next Project Mew mission. He’ll take you to
Cinnabar Island, but you want to talk to the sailor that took you to the Cinnabar gym to get to the Seafoam
Islands, which is where the mission actually is.
SEAFOAM ISLANDS:
Wild Pokémon: Shellder, Zubat, Geodude, Graveler, Jynx, Slowpoke, Golbat, Dewgong, Cloyster. Levels 45-51,
with Cloyster at Level 53.

Head north up the plateau and battle two trainers, heading east and ignoring the ladder.
Cool Trainer Shaun

Then go back to Cerise, who tells you to go to Freezington by using the train from Wyndon. Though actually, you
don’t have to go back to him first, you can just go straight there.
FREEZINGTON:
Weather Forecast: Snowy almost all the time
There are 4 houses here and they’re placed in a way that resembles compass directions. The western house has
a Move Maniac, the northern house has a woman that’ll give you a Master Ball and the eastern house has a
healer.
There’s also many items around here, visible and hidden. There’s four visible ones:
Exp. Candy XL (in the NW corner of town)
Blunder Policy (in the fields in the middle of town)
Utility Umbrella (outside the eastern house)
Galarica Wreath (near a woman and a Vanillish in te SE corner of town)
Lastly, there’s six hidden Exp. Candy XL here in the soil patches.
First there’s one south of the western house. Take 5 steps down from the door and interact with the tile below
you.
Four in the middle fields:
The first is in the top left corner of the second soil patch from the left on the top row, the second is in the top right
corner of the second soil patch from the right on the top row, the third is in the bottom right corner of the middle
soil patch on the bottom row and the fourth is in the bottom right corner of the fields. You might have to be on the
tile to find the item, rather than next to it.
The sixth candy is in the top right corner of the second soil patch to the east of the southern house.
Phew! There were a lot of items. Head NE through the clearing into Crown Tundra.
CROWN TUNDRA:
Weather Forecast: Always a Blizzard
Wild Pokémon: Piloswine, Galarian Darumaka, Glalie, Galarian Mr. Mime, Cryogonal, Weavile, Mamoswine,
Magmar, Dubwool. Levels 43-49.

Alolan Vulpix LV 48 (Snowy)
Enter the house and talk to the gentleman, who’s actually Mohn, Lillie’s long lost father! Well, that’s one happy
ending.
You’ll be taken back to the Pokémon School in Alola. Take your seat and you’ll be taken to the Battle Royal
Dome for a Battle Royal, for not-so-old times sake.
ICONIC BATTLE
Masked Royal and Pokémon Trainer Kiawe
Incineroar Lv 59
Alolan Marowak LV 54
Attend the opening ceremony, but don’t battle Steven yet, because there’s a lot we can do now.
WEDGEHURST:
In the northern part of the town, there’s a Corviknight that’ll give you a Lansat Berry. There’s also a Rare Candy
to the east of it.
Then head to Prof. Magnolia’s Lab, grabbing the Revive before going in. After a talk with Magnolia, Galar will
FINALLY be added to the regional teleport. You can also grab the LV 50 Eternatus from the Darkest Day on the
table next to her.
We can now catch Spectrier and Glastrier in the Wild Area now and they are next to boulders in the middle of
Area 5 and near three isolated trees in Area 6 respectively.
We can also catch their rider, Calyrex, in the middle fields of Freezington now. There’s also a guy that’ll give us
another Calyrex in the eastern house. Next, we can also go into the Split-Decision Ruins in the Crown Tundra,
now that the guard’s gone, to catch Regieleki and Regidraco. There’s also a Fast and Heavy Ball outside the
ruins.
Then head outside to deal with TR, who are somewhere in the middle of the city.
ICONIC BATTLE
TR’s Jessie and James
Morpeko LV 50
Morgrem LV 45
Dubwool LV 45

Wobbuffet LV 56
When you beat him, you see all the Pokémon that Ash caught along the way… it really was a long journey, huh.
And here, the credits roll…
… except that it’s not quite the end of the game yet. First off, now that you’ve defeated Leon, you can now access
a Hyper Trainer in the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel. If you give the guy a Bottle Cap, you get to max out one of
your Pokémon’s IVs, but if you give him a Gold Bottle Cap, you get to max out all of them! Only catch is that the
Pokémon has to be level 100.
Anyway, head back to Vermilion City and talk to Goh, who’s near the pier. Lugia will then show up for you to
battle.
ICONIC BATTLE
Legendary Pokémon Lugia
Lugia LV 75
Then, talk to Cerise for the last time. He’ll bid you farewell, give you a Rotomi (which lets you access your
Pokémon Storage wherever you want) as a gift and give you some parting advice: to check your Rotom Phone
often. Right now, using it tells us to go to Route 26 in Kanto, so let’s go there.

Talk to Latias and it’ll run off… we’ll see it again, I suppose. Rotom Phone now tells us to go to Kalos Route 8.
You can’t access it from the Route 7 side, so you’ll have to go to Cyllage City first.

Upon arrival, you’ll hear the full version of the ICONIC first Japanese Pokémon opening. This’ll be the only time it
plays in Pallet Town (though as many times as you want before you go elsewhere), so savour it! If you want to
hear it again though, here’s the link: 【公式】アニメ「ポケットモンスター」屋外広告|新宿ウォール 456
Once you’ve savoured the moment, talk to Gary who blocks you way to Oak’s lab again, like he did at the start of
your journey. Then go upstairs and talk to Prof. Oak. He’ll say a few wise words and then the credits will roll again
(except you can skip them this time round). And that’s it, that’s the end of the main story of the game!

But first, a number of items used to change the forms of legendary Pokémon have popped up around the world,
so let’s grab them for ourselves. Note that you will have needed to capture/defeat the legendary Pokémon first,
for the item to appear.
Item Quest:
Red Orb and Blue Orb - Route 124, where Groudon and Kyogre were. Used to change Groudon and Kyogre into
their respective Primal forms.
DNA Splicers - Icirrus Cave, where Kyurem was. Used to fuse Kyurem with Reshiram or Zekrom.
Zygarde Cube - Terminus Cave, where Zygarde was. Used to change Zygarde’s form and ability (no Zygarde
Cells required, fortunately).
Ultranecrozium Z - Ultra Deep Space, where Lusamine was. Used to change Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn
Wings Necrozma into Ultra Necrozma in battle and use its exclusive Z-move, Light that Burns the Sky.
Reins of Unity - Freezington, where Calyrex was. Used to allow Calyrex to ride on (fuse with) Glastrier or

they're open!
So, what's inside? Battles. Lots and lots of battles. 53 battles in total, against all the Gym Leaders.
There are 18 coloured squares on the floor, corresponding to the 18 types, and around each of them are Gym

There's a healer and a PC right in each house, so you can fight to your heart's content.
OK, so what now? Well, believe it or not, there is yet ANOTHER set of bonus battles! To access it, go to Oak's
Lab in Pallet Town and check the machine that has appeared in the SE corner of Oak's upstairs room. Here, you
can fight Pokedex Holders, which are basically the heroes of the Pokemon Adventures manga. You always end
up in some game location with the opponent. The locations look like normal places you've been to (or places
you're going to visit in the future) but they are actually separate dimensions and you can't exit them in any way
except the portal that will return you back to Prof. Oak’s lab.

23 battles in total. After you exit the alternate dimension through the portal, you can come back and fight the
champion again.
And we're done with the repeatable battles! Well done for making it all the way through that... or you would be, if
there wasn't one section left. The secret, ULTIMATE championship battles. In these you'll face down Ash
Ketchum's various teams, each at the outrageously high level of 85. The teams are as follows.
Please note that contrary to the rest of this walkthrough, the locations for these battles will NOT be given. These
are easter eggs for you to find on your own. It took us weeks before we finally found it, and all we can say is that
it can be very frustrating.
Just remember that if you get too mad or frustrated, it almost always helps to sleep on it and come back later. :)
