-----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.8 (June 11th, 2004) - Based on my PoKeMoN Crystal walkthrough
completion, I've re-edited things from Crystal out and added Gold/Silver
elements back in, like events that happen in Gold/Silver but not in Crystal,
and vice versa. This is complete.

PoKeMoN found in New Bark Town:
# 152 Chikorita
# 155 Cyndaquil
# 158 Totodile
Items found in New Bark Town:
Everstone
Pokegear
When you first start, you will be in New Bark Town. Choose new game and
start. Afterwards, Professor Oak will ask you the time. First answer what
hour it is and what minute it is, so you are setting the game's time.
There is a default time, which is 10:00 AM, but you may set the time for
whatever you'd like it to be. Preferably, it should be the time that it is
where you live, because then it'd make more sense. They have it well-
programmed on Gold/Silver that even if you don't have the GBA on, the time
will keep running. Then, Professor Oak will welcome you to the world of
PoKeMoN like the older versions of PoKeMoN and introduces you to Professor
Elm. Basically PoKeMoN cannot be lived without in the worlds of Johto and
Kanto. Then he asks you what your name is, so input that (for me, BOKPUI).
Choose something as your name and your PoKeMoN Gold/Silver adventure finally
unfolds!
You are in your room at the beginning. Exit the room, and you will meet your
mom. She tells you that your PoKeGear is back from the repair shop. Woot, I
think. You get the PoKeGear. PoKeGear is used to call people on a phone and
also see the day and time of the day. Then, when she asks you to input the
day of the week, put that in. You can even put in Daylight Savings Time. How
cool! Remember, that's the cycle from April to October. The other half of the
year is not. The Phone is part of the PoKeGear, so simply go there and phone
whoever. Kinda cool, actually. She'll want you to call from time to time.
Leave your house and head left to Professor Elm's lab. Notice the guy
standing left of it in that little corner. That will be your rival. Heh heh
heh...if you talk to him, he'll kick you out of his way. Anyway, go into
Elm's lab. He'll want you to do him a favor by raising up a PoKeMoN. Win-win
situation, no? The mysteries shall be solved...anyway, he rants on about Mr.
PoKeMoN's real discovery which wouldn't make any sense yet. The ordering of
the three PoKeMoN are Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita. Which PoKeMoN
should you take?
Which PoKeMoN should YOU choose? Let's analyze all three starters.
Cyndaquil: Fire-based PoKeMoN.
Pros - He evolves to his final form quicker than the other two starters and
has powerful moves in its final form. He's also effective against the second
gym. Best starter for first two gyms, but the future is trickier.
Cons - His moves are basically all fire-based, which makes hi, a bit one-
dimensional. Being good at earlier gyms doesn't always mean effective later
on. Beginner trainers should use him.
Totodile: Water-based PoKeMoN.
Pros - Water type that can use the HM Surf and can be backed with normal
attacks on top of its water moves.
Cons - You shouldn't be using HM Surf on Totodile anyway and he evolves to
his final form the slowest. Intermediate trainers should use him.
Chikorita: Grass-based PoKeMoN.
Pros - He never is a dual type (Grass-Poison), but rather, just Grass. He
also learns his first elemental move earlier than Totodile and Cyndaquil.
Cons - He suffers in the fact that he's effective against very few gyms, if
at all. Expert trainers should use him.
CONCLUSION: They're fairly evenly matched. All of them are quite close when
it comes to ability, but I think Cyndaquil's pro-con ratio is slightly better
than the other two. I've started with all three PoKeMoN in the Gold-Silver-
Crystal games, and that's my opinion.
After you get your starting PoKeMoN, He says that Mr. PoKeMoN lives somewhere
past Cherrygrove, the next city. Then you get Elm's phone number. He'll call
you a few times over the course of the game. And just like in the RBY games,
the professor's assistant gives you something. In this case, it's a free
potion. Now leave the lab!

After choosing your PoKeMoN carefully, it seems your stupid rival's still
outside the lab. Well, looks like he hasn't changed yet. Anyway, head west
onto Route 29, where your first battles with wild PoKeMoN will begin.
|--------|
|Route 29|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found on Route 29:
# 016 Pidgey
# 019 Rattata
# 161 Sentret
# 163 Hoothoot
# 187 Hoppip
Items found on Route 29:
Berry
Pink Bow
Potion
|-----------|-----------|--------|------------------|
| Chikorita | Cyndaquil |Totodile| THE |
|-----------|-----------|--------| STARTING |
| Tackle | Tackle | Scratch| PoKeMoN |
| Growl | Leer | Leer | TYPES |
|-----------|-----------|--------|------------------|
|Move Type PP Power Description |
|---------------------------------------------------|
|Tackle Normal 35 35 A full-body charge attack. |
|Scratch Normal 35 40 Scratches with sharp claw. |
|Growl Normal 40 -- Reduces the foe's attack. |
|Leer Normal 30 -- Reduces the foe's defense. |
|---------------------------------------------------|
Here you will fight all different varieties of PoKeMoN, depending what time
of day it is, or what day it is. Note that the battle system looks all cool
now because it looks far more obvious how much HP you have, and how much EXP
you need your PoKeMoN to get before they advance to the next level. The EXP
meter is below the HP meter. Also note the new gender differences in PoKeMoN.
In any case, you'll want your starting PoKeMoN to be at Level 8 by the time
you reach Cherrygrove City, so keep training. If you're new to the PoKeMoN
world, you might also want to talk to the trainers on the path, as they give
good advice. When you're on Route 29, to the north is Route 46. You can go
there and visit if you'd like, but it'll be a pain to defeat any PoKeMoN
there because you only have normal moves. The berry is in the tree in the
northwest, the potion is in the northeast.
Remember to have your starting PoKeMoN at Level 8 before you pass through
Cherrygrove City. You really need the experience. Keep heading west until you
arrive in...
|----------------|
|Cherrygrove City|
|----------------|
Items found in Cherrygrove City:
Map Card
See that man at the entrance to the city? Talk to him and he will show you
around the city and some key PoKeMoN concepts, as well as places, like the
PoKeMoN Center, the PoKeMart, the routes, the sea, and his house. Most
importantly, you get the Map Card when he gives you it at the end. Then go
into the PoKeMoN Center, and heal your starting PoKeMoN by talking to the
nurse. Don't bother trying to get PoKeBalls because they aren't being sold
just yet. Head west then north up Route 30 when you're at Level 8. If you're
not, go back to Route 29, fight till your starter is about to faint, heal
again, and then head up Route 30, since you can't buy anything from the
PoKeMart yet.
|--------|
|Route 30|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found on Route 30:
# 010 Caterpie
# 011 Metapod
# 016 Pidgey
# 019 Rattata
# 165 Ledyba
Items found on Route 30:
Antidote
Berry (2X)
Mystery Egg
PoKeDeX
PSNCure Berry
Welcome to Route 30! Reading the sign, you'll notice this is the midpoint
route between Cherrygrove City and Violet City. On this route your PoKeMoN
should reach Level 10 by the time you get back to Cherrygrove City. Go a bit
up from the sign and you'll find a house with a tree next to it. Grab the
berry next to it and then enter the house for another berry. Enjoy that one,
heh heh. Actually, you'll want to keep those...use potions instead. Just
above the house is an Antidote. Take that and head up the right fork. On the
left fork, you'd see a guy that will tell you that he trains his PoKeMoN, as
well as two boys battling on the path. You can't pass that area just yet.
Going up the right path, you'll eventually spot a house. To the left is a
tree containing a PSNCure Berry. Take that, then enter the house.
You'll find Mr. PoKeMoN and Professor Oak inside. Mr. PoKeMoN gives you the
Mystery Egg, which Professor Elm wants to see. Apparently, the Daycare
Service gave Mr. PoKeMoN that Mystery Egg...this is the reason you must go
back to Professor Elm later, because he knows the evolutionary stuff even
better than Professor Oak! Wow, where'd he come from? Professor Oak wants you
to help him track down more PoKeMoN, and gives you the PoKeDeX. How
dependable you are! It's basically an encyclopedia, dictionary, and recorder
all in one, if that makes any sense. Professor Oak has to go for a radio show
in Goldenrod, but Mr. PoKeMoN will heal your PoKeMoN before you leave.
Right when you leave the door, and Professor Elm will give you a call on your
cell phone. He tells you that something terrible has happened in the lab, so
you'll want to quickly head back to New Bark Town. As quick as you must, you
still have to train up your PoKeMoN to Level 10 before you even exit
Cherrygrove City onto Route 29. Keep training and heal at Cherrygrove's
PoKeMoN Center if you need to. Anyway, when you are Level 10, go back to
Cherrygrove City!
|----------------|
|Cherrygrove City|
|----------------|
Heal at the PoKeMoN Center. Do not forget this. After your Level 10 PoKeMoN
is prepared for combat, exit Cherrygrove City to the east. Something stops
you. You notice that it's your rival. He is currently named ??? for now, but
that in itself shouldn't be a problem. Get ready for the battle...wimp? I
think he's the wimp around here. Your Level 10 Starter should completely
destroy his Level 5 one. XD
Rival
Level 5 Starter (84 EXP)
You get: 300G
Well, that was an easy battle. You probably lost less than 10HP. Now that
you've beaten him, he gets past you and now you can exit to Route 29 again.
No way he'll be the world's best PoKeMoN trainer.
|--------|
|Route 29|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found on Route 29:
# 016 Pidgey
# 019 Rattata
# 161 Sentret
# 163 Hoothoot
# 187 Hoppip
Keep heading east to New Bark Town. Keep training, too. Your starter should
be Level 11 by the time you reach New Bark, go back through Route 29, and
back to Cherrygrove.
|-------------|
|New Bark Town|
|-------------|
Go back to Professor Elm's laboratory and talk with the police officer in his
lab. The police officer says he has talked to Professor Elm, and when you
note that you've seen this person, you get to name your rival, the one who
you just battled and had the PoKeMoN stolen from Professor Elm. Name him
whatever name you feel like naming him (for me, FENGKUN). That's supposed to
help the investigation. Talk to Professor Elm and give him the discovery from
Mr. PoKeMoN, the Mystery Egg. Professor Elm is very surprised at you
receiving a PoKeDeX. Only the trainers with the best potential get one, after
all. Professor Elm informs you that he thinks you have what it takes to try
to get the eight badges for the PoKeMoN Johto League. When you try to leave
the lab, Professor Elm's aide will come up to you again and give you five
PoKeBalls to begin your journey. Excellent. Now go right to your home and
talk to your mom, who will save your money for you. Now your journey truly
begins...head west back onto Route 29.
|--------|
|Route 29|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found on Route 29:
# 016 Pidgey
# 019 Rattata
# 161 Sentret
# 163 Hoothoot
# 187 Hoppip
Start heading west back to Cherrygrove City again. Before you can even go
anywhere, the first trainer will come up to you and teach you how to catch
PoKeMoN, so if you need the tutorial, by all means let him teach you. It's a
demonstration of him catching a Level 5 Rattata with a PoKeBall. Nothing
special, really. Catch both a Hoothoot and Rattata on this route or Route 46.
You'll want Rattata's super fang later on, and Hoothoot can be equipped the
HM Fly, so get both. In the Items pocket, note that there are now 4 sections.
The 2nd one contains the PokeBalls. Before you even fight a Pidgey, reach
Level 11. Then, you are able to do more damage and keep the Level 3 Pidgey
low on HP. Capture it. Tapping A and B while the PoKeBall is moving around
helps a little. Don't move
to Cherrygrove City yet...make a visit north onto Route 46.
|--------|
|Route 46|
|--------|
I know it doesn't look like much, but here there's a better chance of finding
a Rattata. Don't use your Level 11 Starter to catch it, you'll just kill it
in a hit. Instead, use Pidgey to weaken it, then capture it. This will be
your 2nd PoKeMoN that you will be keeping to virtually the end of the game
because its super fang is super useful. Weaken it to the point where Pidgey
is also weakened, then capture it and you have your second PoKeMoN on your
lineup!
Your lineup should now be:
Level 3 Pidgey
Level 3 Rattata
Level 11 Starter
Other than your starter, Rattata should also get experience. Pidgey will be
your HM carrier for Fly later on. Anyway, head back onto Route 29...
|--------|
|Route 29|
|--------|
..and west to Cherrygrove.
|----------------|
|Cherrygrove City|
|----------------|
Heal, thee head north onto Route 30! Remember to switch the order of your
PoKeMoN to Rattata, Starter, and Pidgey. To get experience on Rattata,
Rattata will appear in battle first. You'll want to switch to your starter on
turn 1, and then your starter will defeat the other PoKeMoN. Then both your
PoKeMoN get equal experience and Rattata will grow quickly. Do this even in
trainer battles.
|--------|
|Route 30|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found on Route 30:
# 010 Caterpie
# 011 Metapod
# 013 Weedle
# 014 Kakuna
# 016 Pidgey
# 042 Zubat
# 06? Poliwag
# 163 Hoot Hoot
# 165 Ledyba
# 167 Spinarak
OK, this time, you'll want to steer away from the right path but rather to
the left path. On the left path, you'll meet some resistance...the two boys
that were fighting earlier will both challenge you to battles, since they've
already battled each other. Remember to train Rattata in EVERY battle with
EVERY PoKeMoN.
Youngster Joey
Level 4 Rattata (48 EXP)
You get: 64G
Note that now some of your money goes to your mom for safekeeping now...move
up to the next trainer for the next battle! Believe me, your now Level 4
Rattata can handle the first one without your starter...and your starter
should have an elemental move to fry everyone now.
Youngster Mikey
Level 2 Rattata (24 EXP)
Level 4 Rattata (48 EXP)
You get: 64G
Go pass the lady to the third trainer to fight!
Bug Catcher Don
Level 3 Caterpie (33 EXP)
Level 3 Caterpie (33 EXP)
You get: 48G
Advance north onto Route 31.

# 011 Metapod
# 013 Weedle

# 042 Zubat
# 06? Poliwag
# 069 Bellsprout
# 163 Hoot Hoot
# 165 Ledyba
# 167 Spinnark
Items found on Route 31:
Bitter Berry
PoKeBall
Potion
You'll find the entrance to Dark Cave at the beginning of Route 31, as well
as a Potion. The Dark Cave won't really do you any good till you have the HM
Flash, so wait it out and grab that Potion to the left of it. When you see
two trainers, head south to where the item is and fight! Rattata first! If
Rattata has the HP (which it should), then keep it fighting the Caterpies.
Use a potion if you must.
Bug Catcher Wade
Level 2 Caterpie (20 EXP)
Level 2 Caterpie (20 EXP)
Level 3 Weedle (33 EXP)
Level 2 Caterpie (20 EXP)
YOu get: 32G
Grab the PoKeBall below the trainer, head back up to grab the Bitter Berry
from the tree, then head west, through the house-ish entry, and into Violet
City.
Your lineup should now be:
Level 3 Pidgey
Level 6 Rattata
Level 12 Starter

|Violet City|

PoKeMoN found in Violet City:
# 95 Onix
Items found in Violet City:
PRZCure Berry
TM 31
Heal your PoKeMoN. There is a GYM there in Violet City that uses Flying type
PoKeMoN. Don't go there just yet, head over far north to a tower called the
Sprout Tower. The experience you get up there will be very useful for the gym.
|------------|
|Sprout Tower|
|------------|
PoKeMoN found in Sprout Tower:
# 019 Rattata
# 069 Bellsprout
# 092 Gastly
Items found in Sprout Tower:
Escape Rope
HM05
Parlyz Heal
Potion
X Accuracy
This tower is called Sprout Tower, and it's obviously named that because all
the people inside mostly use Bellsprouts. It should give you plenty of
experience for Rattata. Head up the stairs to Floor 2. Continue up the path
and you'll see Sage Nico, and he'll challenge you to a battle. Rattata should
be receiving Quick Attack soon (at Level 7), and that will be very useful.
Sage Nico
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
You get: 96G
Continue along the path and down the stairs. Grab the item below you. It is
Parlyz Heal. Head back up and left along the path to fight Sage Chow. Your
starter may need to provide backing for Rattata here.
Sage Chow
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
You get: 96G
Go up the stairs and along the path till you see YET another sage, after you
grab that X Accuracy above you. Use a Potion on Rattata in this matchup. Now
that Rattata is much higher-level, you should let it do all the battling and
nearly full HP will help. Yay for quick attacks.
Sage Edmond
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
Level 3 Bellsprout (54 EXP)
You get: 96G
Climb up the stairs, grab the item near you (a potion), then fight every sage
up in turn.
Sage Jin
Level 6 Bellsprout (108 EXP)
You get: 192G
Next up is another sage. Use your starter for backing.
Sage Neal
Level 6 Bellsprout (108 EXP)
You get: 192G
Move up to the third sage on the floor and fight him.
Sage Troy
Level 7 Bellsprout (126 EXP)
Level 7 Hoothoot (106 EXP)
You get: 224G
When you move up, you'll see some sort of shaking up above you. Your rival is
there, after beating the main sage of the tower. He has been given the HM
Flash but the sage criticizes him for treating his PoKeMoN too harshly and he
gets enraged. He escapes with the Escape Rope. Go up to the item to the right
of the monk. In reality, it is a...
Level 3 Rattata (24 EXP)
Now move up to take on the leader of the sages itself. The final battle of
the Sprout Tower challenge commences. Rattata is useful but your starter must
play a big role with the elemental move.
Sage Li
Level 7 Bellsprout (126 EXP)
Level 10 Hoothoot (122 EXP)
Level 7 Bellsprout (126 EXP)
You get: 320G
For beating the main guy of the tower, you get your reward, the Flash HM
(HM05). You'll need the 1st badge to use it, however. Go back to the Rattata
you faced before, and now it's an Escape Rope. You may use that to get out of
the tower or by climbing down it. Get out of the tower and go back to the
PoKeMoN Center of Violet City.
|-----------|
|Violet City|
|-----------|
Well, that should have taken some time between 1 hour and 5 minutes, and 1
hour and 20 minutes to do. Any more, any less, you're off the track. No need
for extra training though you may want to, but if you have less, you should
train. Wasting time is evil! :P
Now, you'll want to head northwest in the city to the Violet City Gym. After
all that training, things are gonna look awfully ridiculously easy in here,
so you'll know you're doing the right thing. Head up to fight your trainer
battles first. Let Rattata take the first one.
Bird Keeper Abe
Level 9 Spearow (111 EXP)
You get: 216G
Head up the blasted path to the second trainer. Here, you'll want support
from your starter by switching off. Even a weakened Rattata can take these
two...easy as pie.
Bird Keeper Rod
Level 7 Pidgey (82 EXP)
Level 7 Pidgey (82 EXP)
You get: 168G
This should be your lineup so far:
Level 3 Pidgey
Level 11 Rattata
Level 13 Starter
Go back to the PoKeMoN Center to heal, then you're ready to battle, so head
up the zig-zag pathway to Falkner. Falkner is ready to show the magnificent
power of bird PoKeMoN...but that won't happen here...put your PoKeMoN order
as Rattata, Starter, and then of course, Pidgey, which you won't be using.
---
GYM LEADER FALKNER
Level 7 Pidgey (82 EXP)
Level 9 Pidgeotto (217 EXP)
You get: Zephyr Badge, $900, & TM31 (Mud Slap)
---
Strategy VERSUS Pidgey: Quick attacks, quick attacks. It'll take three
instead of two, because Falkner is better than the apprentices. Still easy,
Rattata will lose some 10 HP.
Strategy VERSUS Pidgeotto: Keep using Rattata's quick attacks against
Pidgeotto. Unlike Pidgey, Pidgeotto will have a Gust attack that does a whole
NINE damage. Regardless, use Rattata until he collapses, then use your
starter to finish off Pidgeotto. Easy cheesy!
The Zephyr Badge gives your PoKeMoN a slight attack boost. That's cool and
you have one badge now. Right after you leave the gym, you should receive a
phone call from Professor Elm. He tells you to pick up something important at
the PoKeMoN Center from his aide. When you get to the PoKeMoN Center, you
will see Professor Elm's aide, the guy by the counter. He will give you a
PoKeMoN egg. The egg will hatch in about 1,000 steps. Leave the Violet City
Gym and go to the PoKeMoN Center. It is Togepi in egg form. There is one way
to not keep Togepi on your team while it's in egg form. Just put it in one of
the PoKeMoN boxes (while it's an egg form) and keep it there. Heal, then head
west from the Violet City Gym. Continue on the path north and then west until
you enter Route 36.
|--------|
|Route 36|
|--------|
Talking to the two people on the route, you'll find out that a supposed tree
is blocking the way. Ignore that for now and head south past the house to the
Ruins of Alph.
|-------------|
|Ruins of Alph|
|-------------|
PoKeMoN found in or outside the Ruins of Alph:
# 177 Natu
# 201 Unown
# 235 Smeargle
Item found in the Ruins of Alph:
Unown Pokedex
Enter the first cave that you see. Talk to the two people inside, go up to
the left panel, and then solve the Kabuto puzzle. The corner pieces should be
obvious, so start from there and work to the middle. It will look circular,
but the eyes point out...remember that. You are then dropped to the next
floor, and you will find yourself in another cave you could enter before.
You'll start seeing a PoKeMoN with many forms. Its name is Unown. He will
make an excellent addition as a steel PoKeMoN on your team, but I suggest you
keep your lineup, though. He has 26 forms, 26 for the alphabet, but is still
the same PoKeMoN regardless and is still PoKeMoN #201. You must catch 3
different Unowns to get the Unown add-on to your PoKedex. Anyway, keep
fighting those until you exit the cave at the bottom with the ladder.
Rattata's attacks CAN damage them, contrary to looks.
After exiting the cave, go south, and then east. You will come up to another
route changing house. Welcome to...
|--------|
|Route 32|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found in Route 32:
# 019 Rattata
# 023 Ekans
# 041 Zubat
# 069 Bellsprout
# 179 Mareep
# 187 Hoppip
# 194 Wooper
Items found in Route 32:
Great Ball
Miracle Seed
Poison Barb
Potion
Old Rod
Repel
TM 05
After exiting the house, go a little east and then up into Violet City to
grab that PRZCure Berry, then head back south onto Route 32. Talk to the
first guy you see and you will get Miracle Seed. Grass moves will then be
increased in power by 20%. Keep heading south and giving Rattata easy
experience points fighting silly PoKeMoN like Ekans. Keep going down till you
see that trainer...
Youngster Albert
Level 6 Rattata (72 EXP)
Level 8 Zubat (91 EXP)
You get: 128G
Now there's a fork. Take the left path and get the Repel, then head back to
the right to talk to the girl who will fight you while being on the phone.
Hehe...you might want support from your starter (or evolved, in the case of
Quilava by this time) cause Rattata will be hurt by now.
Picnicker Liz
Level 9 Nidoran (F) (110 EXP)
You get: 180G
Talk to her again and you'll even get her phone number and vice versa.
Anyway, head down and take the grassy eastern route along the lake. Go down
and talk to the first fisherman you reach for a nice battle. Easy battle
versus Magikarps who can barely splash, except for the Level 15 one. You
might need your starter to help on that one cause it can actually tackle.
Rattata gets Hyper Fang at Level 13, so it should be soon if not now.
Fisher Justin
Level 5 Magikarp (21 EXP)
Level 5 Magikarp (21 EXP)
Level 15 Magikarp (63 EXP)
Level 5 Magikarp (21 EXP)
You get: 200G
Talk to the fisherman to the left of Justin and you'll have a new fight...a
real one, to be more exact. Use starter for support for Rattata.
Fisher Henry
Level 8 Poliwag (128 EXP)
Level 8 Poliwag (132 EXP)
You get: 320G
Keep going south till that next fisherman spots you.
Fisher Ralph
Level 10 Goldeen (237 EXP)
You get: 400G
Exhausted with all the battles now? Take your trip back north to that PRZCure
Berry you saw earlier, after your Mom gives you that call. She apparently
buys something with your money...you can check that at the PoKeMoN Center.
Anyway, heal, withdraw the item (a super potion), then come back down the
same route, but take the LEFT path instead and immediately you see a trainer
that wants to fight you. Oh no!
Camper Roland
Level 9 Nidoran (M) (115 EXP)
You get: 180G
Go south then back up to grab the Great Ball, then head south once more.
Fight the trainer below you. A hyper fang and tackle will do it.
Youngster Gordon
Level 10 Wooper (111 EXP)
You get: 160G
Go back up the right/fishing route to talk to Fisher Ralph to exchange phone
numbers. Keep going down the route and someone wants a million dollars for a
Slowpoke tail. Go up to the girl and she'll give you a Poison Barb. Now heal
at that PoKeMoN Center in the middle of nowhere. Keep heading south and
there's yet another trainer...they always wait around, don't they? :P Finally
a trainer that knows you have one badge!
Bird Keeper Peter
Level 6 Pidgey (70 EXP)
Level 6 Pidgey (70 EXP)
Level 8 Spearow (99 EXP)
To get: 192G
Well, that was easy. Now that you're at the Union Cave entrance, you should
enter Union Cave, but not until you capture a Bellsprout and/or a Wooper.
Depending on what starter you have, you'll want both (starting with
Cyndaquil), just Wooper (starter being Chikorita), or just Bellsprout
(starter being Totodile), for the HMs Cut and Surf later on. Use quick attack
from Rattata to pull Bellsprout to HP range of red, then capture it. Wooper
will be a bit harder to find than Bellsprout. You may have to wait for the
evening for a Wooper...use your Level 3 Pidgey to help catch that, because
it's only Level 4 and just about everything you have will overkill it.
Anyways, do that, and then enter the cave.
|----------|
|Union Cave|
|----------|
Now that you're finished with Route 32, it's time to bring the fighting into
Union Cave. There isn't that much to do in Union Cave, however. Put Rattata
and your starter back to first and second...
Your lineup should now be:
Level 3 Pidgey
Level 4 Wooper
Level 5 Mystery Egg
Level 7 Bellsprout
Level 15 Rattata
Level 15 Starter
Keep heading along the path westward and use hyper fang against those silly,
silly Geodudes. Take the X Attack, and go south to fight your first trainer
battle in Union Cave. The Onix can be a biter, so use Bellsprout's vine whip
after you switch from Rattata. Does a lot of damage, doesn't it?
Hiker Daniel
Level 11 Onix (252 EXP)
You get: 352G
Head east to the next trainer, who will ask if you are truly ready for
Azalea's gym. Show that you are! Rattata can mow them down.
Hiker Russell
Level 4 Geodude (82 EXP)
Level 6 Geodude (109 EXP)
Level 8 Geodude (147 EXP)
You get: 256G
Whenever Rattata surpasses your starter in level, it's time to even it out,
so you'll want to switch to your starter being first again, and when starter
ties up level-wise with Rattata, then Rattata should be first again. You'll
do this for another hour or two, so keep that in mind. Head down to face the
Zubat genius. Your starter or Rattata should make it an easy victory.
Firebreather Bill
Level 6 Koffing (145 EXP)
Level 6 Koffing (145 EXP)
You get: 288G
Grab the great ball below Bill, then head back up to Bill and go left. Don't
miss the item to the far left...it's a potion. Go south and instead of going
up the ledge yet, keep going and then go east to fight that trainer.
Firebreather Ray
Level 9 Vulpix (121 EXP)
You get: 432G
Go back left a bit and down to get the Awakening item, then head up the
stairs that I told you not to go up yet, to fight PoKeManiac Larry.
PoKeManiac Larry
Level 10 Slowpoke (211 EXP)
You get: 600G
Now go up and down the ladder. Head left to get TM39, then back east past the
ledge you went down, to get the item X Defend. Head back thus the way you
came from all the way back to Firebreather Ray, then go a bit right, then
down, and out the door. Note that when you have obtained Strength and Surf
you should return back to Union Cave and explore the lower levels. If you do
you will find a Lapras, who only appears on Friday, plus the entrance to more
of the Ruins of Alph. Exit out of the cave to Route 33!

|Route 33|

PoKeMoN found in Route 33:
# 019 Rattata

Items found in Route 33:
PSNCure Berry
After exiting the Union Cave, go a little down to grab the PSNCure Berry from
the tree, then head west. You'll meet just one trainer in the way: Hiker
Anthony.
Hiker Anthony
Level 11 Geodude (200 EXP)
Level 11 Machop (207 EXP)
You get: 352G
Now that he is defeated, head west into Azalea Town. All that switching
between your starter PoKeMoN and Rattata has really helped, right?
Your lineup should now be:
Level 3 Pidgey
Level 4 Wooper
Level 5 Mystery Egg
Level 8 Bellsprout
Level 16 Rattata
Level 17 Starter Evolution (Quilava, Bayleef, or Croconaw)

Items found in Azalea Town:
Lure Ball
TM 49
Wht Apricorn
When you enter the town, you should notice that one Team Rocket member is
guarding a well-like structure. Ignore this for now, but remember where it
is. At about this time, you might get a call from Liz the Picnicker and she
tells you that Moo Moo Milk can be bought at Moo Moo Farm for good health and
beauty. Anyway, keep rolling up to the northernmost house in town by heading
west then north in the city. He is Kurt and he informs you about the
disbanding and return of Team Rocket. Kurt goes to "give them a lesson in
pain". Anyway, go back to the well-like structure after you heal at the
PoKeMoN Center and you'll see that the Team Rocket guard has gone, or more
like, demolished by Kurt. Now enter the Slowpoke Well!
|-------------|
|Slowpoke Well|
|-------------|
You'll notice Kurt took a tumble down the well, so it's up to you now. Head
up to start the war on Team Rocket and its members, especially the guy Kurt
had a shouting match with.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 9 Rattata (109 EXP)
Level 9 Rattata (109 EXP)
You get: 360G
Talk to him again and you'll learn that they're chopping off Slowpoke tails
for cash. Move on up the stairs for Battle #2.
Rocket Grunt (F)
Level 9 Zubat (103 EXP)
Level 11 Ekans (145 EXP)
You get: 440G
Move left to grab the super potion to the left of her, then head down the
stairs into another battle.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 7 Rattata (85 EXP)
Level 9 Zubat (103 EXP)
Level 9 Zubat (103 EXP)
You get: 360G
Talk to the Slowpoke above you...it had its tail cut off. Poor thing...and
there's mail on it? Anyway, move left to face the fourth Team Rocket member.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 14 Koffing (342 EXP)
You get: 560G
He, the leader of this band of Team Rocket members, tells you that they were
working underground for the past three years. Looks true, doesn't it? Team
Rocket leaves and Kurt talks to you. He returns you to his house in...

Items found in Azalea Town:
Lure Ball
TM 49
Wht Apricorn
Talk to Kurt again and he'll give you a Lure Ball for free. Whee! Go right
above his house and grab the Wht Apricorn, then heal at the PoKeMoN Center.
After you heal, head to the Azalea Town Gym, and the home of the Bug types.
By now, 2 to 2 1/2 hours has passed. Anyway, now's the time to enter the gym
and face Bugsy and her apprentices. Anyway, enter, and let's take on this
gym. Rattata will be a MAJOR help here. Go up and Amy (the left girl) and May
(the right girl) will challenge you. Remember, Quilava is extra-effective
here if you have him. Otherwise, Rattata will still stun through this gym.
Twins Amy & May
Level 10 Spinarak (115 EXP)
Level 10 Ledyba (115 EXP)
You get: 200G
Head up the left side to meet your next opponent. Someone knows you saved the
Slowpokes...
Bug Catcher Josh
Level 13 Paras (195 EXP)
You get: 208G
Continue around the circular center to the top center person. Good luck!
Haha...
Bug Catcher Benny
Level 7 Weedle (78 EXP)
Level 9 Kakuna (136 EXP)
Level 12 Beedrill (408 EXP)
You get: 192G
Continue around the circle, clockwise, to the final one of the five trainers
lying around the gym leader's circle. Time to beat Al!
Bug Catcher Al
Level 12 Caterpie (135 EXP)
Level 12 Weedle (133 EXP)
You get: 200G
Depending on whether Rattata and have your starter have the HP, you can
either go back and heal or just go straight to fighting Gym Leader Bugsy. In
any case, put Rattata on the front line, then your starter as backup. Yay for
Bugsy...she may have the Bug PoKeMoN, but you have the counters!
---
GYM LEADER BUGSY
Level 14 Metapod (215 EXP)
Level 14 Kakuna (213 EXP)
Level 16 Scyther (640 EXP)
You get: Hive Badge, 1,600G, & TM49 (Fury Cutter)
---
Strategy VERSUS Metapod: Two hyper fangs will down Rattata. Easy peasy!
Strategy VERSUS Kakuna: Two hyper fangs will down Kakuna as well. Just watch
out for Kakuna's poison sting...it has a chance of poisoning Rattata.
Strategy VERSUS Scyther: Here, you can choose. Use Rattata's hyper fangs or
if you have Quilava, use ember. Ember will burn Scyther to toast, but hyper
fang will do fine, too, it'd just take a bit slower. 2-3 embers, 3-4 hyper
fangs.
Well, that was one...not-so-painful gym to beat. So now, you have the second
badge which lets all PoKeMoN up to Level 30 obey you regardless of whatever,
and you can use the HM Cut. You also get TM49, Fury Cutter. This lets
PoKeMoN have stronger attacks over time. Whee. Now leave the gym and heal
your PoKeMoN at the PoKeMoN Center. Yay for you, because you're about to
encounter your rival AGAIN! Yes, the stupid one lies to the west when you
exit the town. What a pity. You'll have to destroy him with Rattata and your
starter now which are both now Level 19. Woot. He thinks you didn't beat Team
Rocket, but...the battle begins. You'll want to use hyper fangs and/or the
strongest elemental moves your starters have. Build up a few levels if you
must, but do remember that Gastly...cannot be hit by Rattata so use your
starter. Starter to kill Gastly with elemental moves, then Rattata to kill
your rival's starter. How fun...use hyper fangs. Zubat can be killed by any
elemental or hyper fang.
Rival
Level 12 Gastly (240 EXP)
Level 16 Starter (489 EXP)
Level 14 Zubat (162 EXP)
You get: 960G
Haha, "I only lost because my PoKeMoN were weak." Exactly. Well, he speaks
big but can't do anything. :P Uncle Ralph calls again about taking care of
PoKeMoN and taking out a Zubat. Anyway, heal again, then continue going west
into Ilex Forest!
Defeat your rival and head the way you were going, west. You'll enter Ilex
Forest.
|-----------|
|Ilex Forest|

PoKeMoN found in Ilex Forest:
# 010 Caterpie
# 011 Metapod

# 041 Zubat
# 043 Oddish
# 046 Paras
Items found in Ilex Forest:
HM 01
Revive
TM 02
TM 12
Keep heading north up the path, and when the path turns east, turn east with
it. Talk to the first guy you see. He is standing near a cut-able bush, and
he tells you that his boss' Farfetch'd got away. Keep following the path and
you'll find that scary Farfetch'd. XD Anyway, if you talk to the Farfetch'd,
it'll run away. Far, far away. Keep on following it and talking to it.
Eventually, it'll turn back the opposite direction so make sure
you're "pushing" it back the way you came. Grab the Revive you see while
you're at it. It will then lead you to the man and his boss. For Rattata if
it reaches Level 20, have Focus Energy replace Tail Whip, and Scary Face
replace Tackle. It will at Level 20 also evolve to Raticate! Yay!
Anyway, talk to the boss and he will give you HM01 Cut! You'll want to equip
Cut on Bellsprout right away, and that is in the fourth section of your
backpack. Now Cut that cut-able bush to get passed the only one blocking your
path. A new feature in Gold/Silver/Crystal is that you can just go up to the
bush, press A, and it will get cut down if you have a PoKeMoN with Cut in
your lineup. The same goes for Boulders, and that Tree that will come up
later. Now you enter the Ilex Forest Shrine, and the Ilex Forest Maze. Keep
heading along the path and grab the X Attack you see, and then the Antidote
you spot later on the path going east. To the northeast is an Ether, but go
right and grab TM02, Headbutt first by talking to the trainer there. Headbutt
lets you shake the little trees that are everywhere in the game, sometimes
revealing sleeping PoKeMoN. Then, head back left from there and talk to that
other trainer for a battle!
Bug Catcher Wayne
Level 8 Ledyba (122 EXP)
Level 10 Paras (150 EXP)
You get: 160G
Keep going along the path and through the building and you'll make it to
Route 34! Whee for Ralph calling again?

Welcome to Route 34. Here, you'll fight even more trainers. Head right up and
you'll enter a match right away.
Youngster Samuel
Level 7 Rattata (85 EXP)
Level 10 Sandshrew (198 EXP)
Level 8 Spearow (99 EXP)
Level 8 Spearow (99 EXP)
You get: 128G
Keep heading up the path to face the guy who sent his PoKeMoN to the Daycare
Center! For Quilava, if it is at Level 21, have quick attack replace
smokescreen. Just a suggestion, anyway, Brandon should be easy with either
Rattata or your evolved starter.
PoKeFan Brandon
Level 13 Snubbull (175 EXP)
You get: 1040G
Continue along the path to face that Youngster!
Youngster Ian
Level 10 Mankey (157 EXP)
Level 12 Diglett (207 EXP)
You get: 192G
Head a bit down to face the girl in a PoKeMoN battle.
Picnicker Gina
Level 9 Hoppip (142 EXP)
Level 9 Hoppip (142 EXP)
Level 12 Bulbasaur (163 EXP)
You get: 240G
Head up from Youngster Ian and you'll find this building to the right. Enter
it and talk. You can't take the egg yet though, because you'll have to
deposit a PoKeMoN (Pidgey) into the PC when you reach Goldenrod...
Anyway, inside the Daycare/Breeding Center with the old man and woman, you
can talk to the man and he will take one of your PoKeMoN to level up. Talking
to the woman will do the same thing. It will cost 100G to take them out, and
100G per level up, but their stats won't be as good as if you trained them
yourself, obviously. To breed PoKeMoN you must give the old man a Male
PoKeMoN and give the old woman a Female PoKeMoN (or vice-versa) that have the
same little icon or sprite. Or they must be compatible at breeding. Then exit
the building and go walk around for a little while. Come back when you seethe
man standing outside with your two PoKeMoN. Talk to him and answer yes, he
will give you an Egg. If you put in PoKeMoN of different #'s, for example
Pidgey and Hoothoot, the resulting egg will be the same species as the female
PoKeMoN and with an Attack that the Male had. Just think of the strange
combinations...
Head back out as you can't really do much here yet, and talk to the officer
just next to the Center to fight! Rattata or your starter can demolish the
Level 17er, though...
Officer Keith
Level 17 Growlithe (280 EXP)
You get: 680G
Move up to take on the final trainer on the route.
Camper Todd
Level 14 Psyduck (235 EXP)
You get: 280G
Great! Now, talk to the same guy again and you'll exchange phone numbers.
Then, let's go into Goldenrod City, the LARGEST city in the game, or
something like that.
Your lineup should now look something like:
Level 4 Wooper
Level 5 Pidgey
Level 5 Mystery Egg
Level 8 Bellsprout
Level 20 Raticate
Level 22 Starter Evolution (Quilava, Bayleef, or Croconaw)
PoKeMoN found in Goldenrod City:
# 66 Machop (Through Trading)
# 133 Eevee
Items found in Goldenrod City:
Bicycle
Coin Case
HP Up
Radio Card
TM 21
TM 27
TM 45
Squirtwater
Goldenrod City has got to be the biggest city in the game. There's lots to do
in the city, but let's head for the gym for that 3rd badge, shall we? We'll
go back to the PoKeMart for supplies later. The gym is in the northeast part
of town. This gym's trainer all use Normal PoKeMoN. Raticate is gonna be
awesome with hyper fang, so use it and then your starter if you need to.
Enter the gym and head up to face Beauty Victoria.
Beauty Victoria
Level 9 Sentret (109 EXP)
Level 13 Sentret (157 EXP)
Level 17 Sentret (207 EXP)
YOu get: 1496G
Easy battle. Go around her and to the right side of the gym to face the other
Beauty (so symmetrical, meh?) now.
Beauty Samantha
Level 16 Meowth (235 EXP)
Level 16 Meowth (235 EXP)
You get: 1408G
Start heading left along the path towards the center, for another battle.
Lass Carrie
Level 18 Snubbull (243 EXP)
You get: 432G
Go up to fight the last trainer before the gym leader, Lass Bridget. She
loves to use Jigglypuff and has 3 of them, so if anyone gets hit by those
sleep spells, you might want to stop at the PoKeCenter to wake up any PoKeMoN
before taking on Whitney. Raticate should demolish them before they can do
anything, though.
Lass Bridget
Level 15 Jigglypuff (243 EXP)
Level 15 Jigglypuff (243 EXP)
Level 15 Jigglypuff (243 EXP)
You get: 360G
Now, me being me, I'd just go straight into the battle against the gym leader
without items or healing, but if you need to, you can go back to the PoKeMoN
Center and heal before this battle. Put Raticate as the starter PoKeMoN, and
let's get rolling. Yay for warnings, those gym leaders are so egoistic, huh?
---
GYM LEADER WHITNEY
Level 18 Clefairy (261 EXP)
Level 21 Miltank (856 EXP)
You get: Plain Badge, 2,000G, & TM45 (Attract)
---
Strategy VERSUS Clefairy: Raticate is fast. Raticate is powerful at this
time. Use hyper fang. Clefairy will probably respond with Metronome, but it's
way too late. Finish Clefairy off with Quick Attack. Easy.
Strategy VERSUS Miltank: The most troublesome things about facing a Miltank
is that it heals with milk and it has an attack that makes your PoKeMoN get
woozy. Your PoKeMoN are unable to attack the Miltank for a few turns and
Miltank just slams you with Stomps and Rollouts. Use Raticate's hyper fangs.
Expect Raticate to fall anyway, but your starter can clean up the mess with
an elemental move. Not too difficult for a gym battle. Remember that if you
haven't been following this guide, rock types are also super-effective
against Miltank.
Whitney won't give you the Plain Badge at first because she will be upset
that you've been "so serious". Anyway, she refuses to give you your badge.
The trainer below you will talk to you. Then talk to Whitney again. She will
now give you the Plain Badge. It will let your PoKeMoN use Strength outside
of battle and it boosts your PoKeMoN's Speed. She'll also give you TM45,
Attract.
Now head out of the gym and we'll hit the east side of town (below the train
tracks) for a Bike. Keep heading down that path till you hit a dead end and
there's a house. It's the Bike Shop. Talk to the manager inside and he tells
you you can get a free bike if you advertise for him, meaning you actually
ride the bike. That sounds fun, no? You can access the bike in your Pack
(which makes no sense, but whatever) in the 3rd section, so start using it to
boost through areas.
Now, you'll want to visit the Radio Tower in the western side of town. It is
a black building just south of the train tracks. Talk to the middle man for
possible ID matches, then talk to the woman on the right for the Radio Quiz.
Question 1: Is there a PoKeMoN that only appears in the morning? (YES)
Question 2: Is this statement correct? You can't buy a Berry at a Mart. (YES)
Question 3: Does HM01 contain the move Flash? (NO, that's HM05)
Question 4: Is Falkner the Violet Gym Leader who uses Bird PoKeMoN? (YES)
Question 5: Do Goldenrod Game Corner's slots have Charmander on their reels?
(NO)
Easy quiz. Now you'll get the Radio Card for your PoKeGear, and can listen to
the radio anytime. Now go up to the second floor and talk to the lady in the
middle whose name is Buena. Now you have a Blue Card! Head back out now. Once
you get out, go to your bicycle and press Sel, which means the item will be
equipped for use on the Select Button. Now you can simply just press Select
and you'll be on your bike.
Now, you'll want to head to Bill's house. Go through the path just above the
PoKeMoN Center and it should be the first house you see. Talk to the girl
that's closer to the door and you'll get Bill's phone number. Calling it will
tell you how many PoKeMoN you have.
After that, we'll go down under the city for some fighting. Go to the house
below Bill's, and it turns out to be the entrance to the underground. Go
downstairs. Go up and you'll face a Game Corner cheater.
Super Nerd Eric
Level 11 Grimer (211 EXP)
Level 11 Grimer (211 EXP)

Head up to face PoKeManiac Isaac.
PoKeManiac Isaac
Level 12 Lickitung (325 EXP)

three strange shops and stop in front of the guy that's there...

Level 11 Voltorb (241 EXP)
Level 7 Magnemite (133 EXP)
Level 9 Magnemite (171 EXP)

Level 10 Slowpoke (211 EXP)
Level 10 Slowpoke (211 EXP)
You get: 600G
Head to the right and you'll see the door is locked, so come back and go up
the stairs above Donald. Come back out and go to the PokeMoN Center to heal.
Then, we're ready to head into Route 35 after Liz's offer for a rematch on
Route 32. Ride up north past that building...it's so cool how you can just
ride through...

There are some rare PoKeMoN here that makes the detour worthwhile, Scyther
and Pinsir to be exact and depending on your version the Caterpie family or
Weedle family. However these PoKeMoN are only found during the Bug Catching
Contest, and the contest only happens on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
When you enter the contest on one of those days, you will either have to
decide which PoKeMoN you want to use in the contest or the game will decide
for you. During the contest you are allowed to keep only one PoKeMoN (the
first one on your team). In order to win the contest you will have to catch a
rare PoKeMoN. The best one to catch would be Scyther, which is worth the most
points in the contest.
You can stay for the Bug-Catching Contest if you like, but otherwise, head up
past the first part of the National Park and fight PoKeFan Beverly.
PoKeFan Beverly
Level 14 Snubbull (189 EXP)
You get: 1120G

Level 15 Voltorb (330 EXP)

Here in the park you'll also notice that there is high grass. This gives you
a bigger chance of encountering wild PoKeMoN. Head back to the left of
Beverly, then go northwest to fight the Lass.

Level 15 Cubone (279 EXP)

You get: 1120G
PoKeFans sure are rich...well, you'll want to move east and a little south to
reach Route 36, across one of those barrier checkpoint things as usual.
Withdraw a Repel, then head into Route 36.

away.
Bug Catcher Arnie
Level 15 Venonat (240 EXP)
You get: 240G
Keep going down the grassy route till you reach another trainer. Fight him.
Bird Keeper Bryan
Level 12 Pidgey (141 EXP)
Level 14 Pidgeotto (339 EXP)
You get: 336G
Drive up to the left side and grab that item you saw earlier, TM04, then head
back to Arnie and talk to her for her phone number, then cut the bush and
head back onto Route 36.
|--------|
|Route 36|
|--------|
Welcome back. You'll want to head east now and take on the next trainers.
Schoolboy Alan
Level 16 Tangela (566 EXP)
You get: 512G
Talk to Floria, the girl nearby, now. While she goes away to get the
Squirtbottle, you'll want to talk to Alan for his phone number before you run
after her back to Goldenrod City. Arnie also gives you a call at about that
time about Pidgey. Meh. Anyway, head back through Route 36 to National Park.
|-------------|
|National Park|
|-------------|
Head through National Park southward to Route 35.
|--------|
|Route 35|
|--------|
Keep biking southward on Route 35 back to Goldenrod City.
|--------------|
|Goldenrod City|
|--------------|
Head to the house just to the right of the gym. Talk to the girl you talked
to before and it turns out her sister is right in the same house. Talk to her
sister and you'll get the Squirtbottle! This will wake up the tree PoKeMoN,
Sudowoodo. Don't go anywhere yet...heal at the PoKeMoN Center before you race
back to Route 35. Being some 3 1/2 to 4 hours into the game, go back to Route
35. You have two Great Balls, and they should be good enough. Put your
starter as your starting PoKeMoN, too, cause Raticate is gonna do absolutely
nothing to a rock.
|--------|
|Route 35|
|--------|
Head back north to National Park.
|-------------|
|National Park|
|-------------|
Ride your way through to Route 36.
|--------|
|Route 36|
|--------|
Now that you're at the Sudowoodo, SAVE! This is probably the first time I've
asked you to save, but Sudowoodo is going to be a major help to your team, so
you'll need his enlistment. That strange tree is blocking your path...well,
now that you have the Squirtbottle, just examine the tree and the game will
ask if you want to use the Squirtbottle. When you do the tree will attack and
you will find that it is the PoKeMoN Sudowoodo like I've said. This is the
only one in the game so be sure to catch it.
The weird tree attacks! Use elemental moves on your starter PoKeMoN to send
him into the red HP range, then use a Great Ball. Remember not to overkill
it, you're here to capture it, not kill it off. If you have Quilava, use 3-4
embers, then a quick attack (in response, Sudowoodo will use Rock Throw,
Flail, Low Kick, or Mimic, its four moves. That should pull it into deep red
HP range, and that will be enough to take it. With Raticate you would use
Quick Attacks (hyper fangs at first).
Sudowoodo will soon be a great addition to your team, so start training it!
Once you have captured Sudowoodo, go find this fat guy to the east. He will
give you TM08, Rock Smash for getting Sudowoodo out of the way. Also note
that on Thursday, Arthur of Thursday will appear. He will give you the Hard
Stone item just for talking to him. Anyway, head east from Sudowoodo into
Violet City.
|-----------|
|Violet City|
|-----------|
Here, you're gonna want to heal, because Sudowoodo must have done a lot of
damage. Do that, and before you leave, deposit Togepi, withdraw Sudowoodo,
heal again, and then put Sudowoodo as the starting PoKeMoN so you can start
training it for real.
Your new lineup should now be:
Level 3 Pidgey
Level 4 Wooper
Level 5 Togepi
Level 8 Bellsprout
Level 20 Sudowoodo
Level 25 Raticate
Level 25 Starter Evolution
Pidgey and Togepi should be sitting in your PC at the PoKeMoN Center. Now,
head back west onto Route 36.

|Route 36|

Blk Apricorn
Blu Apricorn
Hard Stone
Ice Berry
Red Apricorn
TM 08
Let the battle begin against the twins you will see first. With your first
experience with Sudowoodo, your obviously best move is rock throw, with flail
a little stronger than low kick for the most part, except that they are
different types. Mimic steals a move from your opponent (and replaces Mimic
for the duration of the battle). Anyways, one rock throw is almost enough to
take out that Jigglypuff, so finish it with a low kick. Use two low kicks on
Clefairy. Woot.
Twins Ann & Anne
Level 16 Jigglypuff (259 EXP)
Level 16 Clefairy (232 EXP)
You get: 320G
The bike shop calls again and says that you can keep the bicycle for raising
sales. Yay? Now head up to fight the Psychic! Those guys are freaky...just
don't use low kick. That's just stupid...go with two rock throws.
Psychic Greg
Level 17 Drowzee (370 EXP)
You get: 544G
Now head back south of the twins and go through the eastern path to the three
apricorn trees. You may want to clear your item pack in Ecruteak City before
you take these, so let's head to Ecruteak City. You could also find Sunny of
Sunday here as well, who will give you the Magnet item. If it's not Sunday,
just head north and you'll reach the sunny city of Ecruteak City and the gym
leader Morty.
|-------------|
|Ecruteak City|
|-------------|
Enter the PoKeMoN Center. You will be unable to move for a sec because Bill
gets his PoKeMoN healed. He's finished adjustments on his Time Capsule, so
you can now trade between Crystal and the Red/Blue/Yellow games. Yay! Heal,
empty your items pack of all your berries and apricorns, as you won't be
doing anything with them for the time being. Also deposit the TMs and deposit
Wooper into the PC. Now bike your way back down to Route 37.
|--------|
|Route 37|
|--------|
Grab the apricorns you didn't grab earlier (Red, Black, and Blue Apricorns),
then bike down to Route 36 once more.

|Route 36|

Ride through Route 36 back to National Park.

|National Park|

Ride through National Park back to Route 35.
|--------|
|Route 35|
|--------|
Bike down to Goldenrod City. You won't be here for a while again...
|--------------|
|Goldenrod City|
|--------------|
Head to the southwest portion of the city and enter Bill's house. He will
give you an Eevee to take care of. Take note of this, because Eevee is going
to be one of your primary PoKeMoN on your lineup. OK, let's head back onto
Route 35!
Your new main team of five PoKeMoN, in this order, is:
Level 20 Sudowoodo
Level 20 Eevee
Level 25 Raticate
Level 25 Starter Evolution
Level 8 Bellsprout
Sudowoodo and Eevee will want to exchange experience points once in a while
so they both get experience before we hit the 4th gym. Route 35 now!
|--------|
|Route 35|
|--------|
Head through the short Route 35 to National Park.
|-------------|
|National Park|
|-------------|
Head back through National Park to Route 36...yes, again.

|Route 36|
|--------|
Head up to Route 37.

Liz tells you that Earl, the guy who runs the Academy in Violet, did
something funny. Anyway, go back to Ecruteak City!

|Ecruteak City|

Items found in Ecruteak City:
HM03 Surf
Itemfinder
TM30
You've reached Ecruteak City with an Eevee this time! Congratulations!
Actually, this isn't a prize booth, as much as you want it to be one. With
your new Eevee with you, put it as your starter and enter the Dance Hall just
above the PoKeMoN Center. Talk to the man near the door and he will tell you
that if you defeat all five Kimono Girls, you will get a gift. A major one at
it, so let's get started.
Head up the left side of the stage and battle the girl in green. It's time to
take on every Eevee evolution, one by one. Your Eevee has Tackle, Tail Whip,
Sand-Attack, and Growl. Obviously, Tackle's your only offensive move, so use
that for every battle.
Kimono Girl Naoko
Level 17 Flareon (720 EXP)
You get: 1224G
Advance to the girl in blue. Espeon is tougher and a psychic evolution...you
may need to pull in Sudowoodo's help here.
Kimono Girl Sayo
Level 17 Espeon (714 EXP)
You get: 1224G
Mom buys you another item. Feh. Move on to the girl in red! Eevee evolution,
dark version.
Kimono Girl Zuki
Level 17 Umbreon (717 EXP)
You get: 1224G
OK, move on to the girl at the right that is in blue. Water wars, here we go.
Kimono Girl Kuni
Level 17 Vaporeon (714 EXP)
You get: 1224G
Finally, the final trainer. Defeat the final Kimono Girl.
Kimono Girl Miki
Level 17 Jolteon (717 EXP)
You get: 1224G
Now, talk to the same old man again. You'll get HM03 Surf for your efforts.
You'll equip this on Wooper or Croconaw later on. It's one of the best water
moves out there. Anyway, get out of the house now. Head southwest to the gym.
Once you see it, go to the building to the right of it and talk to the man
inside. He will give you Itemfinder if you answer Yes to his question. Easy
cheesy then. Heal again, then we'll head to the Burned Tower in the
northwestern portion of town with a lineup of Sudowoodo-Eevee-Starter-
Raticate.
|------------|
|Burned Tower|
|------------|
Now that you've entered the Burned Tower, head left and all the way around
the spiral and you will now fight your rival in a battle. He's gonna get
owned again by your superior lineup. He has a Magnemite now, but you have two
extra Level 21+ PoKeMoN...
Against Haunter, use Sudowoodo's rock throws. Against Magnemite, use
Sudowoodo's low kicks. Use Sudowoodo's rock throws on Zubat. Against his
starter evolution, use Raticate's hyper fangs. Piece of cake.
Rival
Level 20 Haunter (540 EXP)
Level 18 Magnemite (342 EXP)
Level 20 Zubat (231 EXP)
Level 22 Bayleef/Quilava/Croconaw (673 EXP)
You get: 1,320G
After your victory, you fall into a hole. Simply move up and you'll unleash
the legendary PoKeMoN around all Johto. These PoKeMoN are found RANDOMLY
around Johto, and have no set location. They will walk around Johto. To catch
them, make sure you're in an area with PoKeMoN under Level 40. Now, exit the
Burned Tower! Go down and talk to Eusine again, who is hyper-excited. Head
down the ladder Eusine went down and go out of the Burning Tower.
|-------------|
|Ecruteak City|
|-------------|
Heal your PoKeMoN just before entering the Ecruteak City Gym. 4 1/4 to 4 1/2
hours in the game...yes!
Your lineup should now be:
Level 21 Sudowoodo
Level 21 Eevee
Level 25 Bayleef/Quilava/Croconaw
Level 26 Raticate
Let's enter the gym now. Go straight up to fight Trainer 1. Bring in a lineup
of Sudowoodo-Starter-Raticate-Eevee, because Raticate and Eevee cannot do
anything in this ghost-based gym. Sudowoodo's rock throws will smash the
first trainer.
Sage Ping
Level 16 Gastly (325 EXP)
Level 16 Gastly (325 EXP)
Level 16 Gastly (325 EXP)
Level 16 Gastly (325 EXP)
Level 16 Gastly (325 EXP)
You get: 512G
Now head exactly TWO steps right, then FOUR steps up to fight Trainer 2.
Doing just about anything else will make you fall off the platform. Keep
those rock throws going against Grace.
Medium Grace
Level 20 Haunter (540 EXP)
Level 20 Haunter (540 EXP)
You get: 800G
Talk to Grace again and basically, the path is the zig-zag. You must face
every trainer before you face the gym leader. Go three left, 2 up to Trainer
3.
Sage Jeffrey
Level 22 Haunter (594 EXP)
You get: 704G
Time to take on the final trainer before Morty. Go right 3, then up 2. As a
test of what's to come, this is almost the same lineup as the gym leader,
except Morty has higher levelled and stronger PoKeMoN.
Medium Martha
Level 18 Gastly (360 EXP)
Level 20 Haunter (540 EXP)
Level 20 Gastly (406 EXP)
You get: 800G
You can move straight up to the gym leader, but you're gonna have to heal
first. Fall off the path, then exit the gym. Heal, and go back the way you
came into the gym. Let's take on Morty with Sudowoodo-Starter-Raticate-Eevee!
Morty speaks of something powerful that is rainbow or whatever. Anyway, let's
get started. Save before this battle...this is gonna be the second time you
save, because this is the first true hard gym battle you'll have, because you
only have two PoKeMoN that can slice through four at this time.
---
GYM LEADER MORTY
Level 21 Gastly (427 EXP)
Level 23 Haunter (567 EXP)
Level 25 Gengar (1017 EXP)
Level 23 Haunter (621 EXP)
You get: Fog Badge, 2,300G, & TM30 (Shadow Ball)
---
Strategy VERSUS Gastly: A single rock throw from Sudowoodo should and would
down Gastly.
Strategy VERSUS 1st Haunter: Use two rock throws from Sudowoodo.
Strategy VERSUS Gengar: Gengar is really nasty because it has Hypnosis and
then Dream Eater to cap on it, but do as many rock throws from Sudowoodo as
you can before you pull out your starter evolution. Use elemental moves
(meaning non-normal, if you still don't get that) to finish off Gengar.
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Haunter: This is the home stretch. Elemental, elemental,
elemental moves.
Good, good. You won even with the curses hurting you. Well, four badges are
down. Half of the League has fallen to you. All Level 50 and below PoKeMoN
obey you, and now you can use Surf out of battle. TM30, Shadow Ball, is a
fairly good ghost move.
Heal, then head west onto Route 38. Arnie calls again...well, yeah. Go
through the building into...

Welcome to Route 39! It's the home of Moo Moo Farm. What a nice place, I
think? Anyway, there's four trainers for you to knock off here first...
Psychic Norman
Level 17 Slowpoke (360 EXP)
Level 20 Slowpoke (423 EXP)
You get: 640G
Check out the Moo Moo Farm to the west of him...you can get Moo Moo Milk
there for 500G. They sell for $500, a little expensive, but cheaper than a
Super Potion and more effective. However if you want to buy some milk you
will have to cure their Miltank. You will have to give them a couple of
berries before their Miltank gets better. If you do cure Miltank, you will
receive TM13! For now, we're skipping this part, but remember this area. Do
grab the Mint Berry first though...
Head southward!

TM 34
As soon as you enter Olivine City and, when you are about to pass by the gym
your rival will appear. He will not challenge you to a match (because he
knows he's going to lose ^_^), but will tell you that Jasmine the Gym Leader
is currently at the lighthouse tending to a sick PoKeMoN. He thinks the gym
leader is a weakling because he has always favored strong PoKeMoN. Too bad he
has none! XD Now go heal at the PoKeMoN Center regardless of whether you need
it, cause it'll help for HM Fly later on. Then go up to the house above the
PoKeMoN Center and get the Good Rod from the fisherman inside. Then, enter
the building to the left of the PoKeMoN Center and talk to the sailor at the
table for HM04 Strength! This will let you push boulders around.
After you get Strength (HM04) for free, go up the Olivine City Lighthouse in
the southeast part of town (not the dock). You'll spot it when you see it.
Let's go in and fight!
|-----------------------|
|Olivine City Lighthouse|
|-----------------------|
OK, you're going to have to climb up a few floors to even meet Jasmine.
Follow the path up to Floor 2, when Liz calls again about guys (Falkner).
Meh. Keep going till you see another trainer!
Gentleman Alfred
Level 20 Noctowl (693 EXP)
You get: 1440G
Keep advancing and move along the path to face Trainer 2. At this point, you
should start using Eevee to start every battle until it can get Quick Attack
to replace Growl! You also don't want Eevee to faint...we'll want Eevee to
evolve to Espeon for future battles, so let's keep Eevee as the starter for
now and give Eevee easy victories, using super potions if necessary, even.
Anyway...
Sailor Huey
Level 18 Poliwag (297 EXP)

You'll probably want to heal Eevee up a bit now, so do so with the few
potions you have...you'll buy more after these battles. Keep following the
path to the 4th trainer battle!
Gentleman Preston
Level 18 Growlithe (351 EXP)
Level 18 Growlithe (351 EXP)
You get: 1296G

Head south now, around on the path to the next trainer. Heal Eevee if you
must, or use Sudowoodo for experience.

You get: 800G
Todd will now call and say that Goldenrod finally has cheap sales. Woot? Head

TM34 (Swagger), then go back up to fight another trainer.

Level 18 Spearow (223 EXP)
Level 20 Fearow (693 EXP)

Keep going and grab the Rare Candy, then go back down to Floor 4. Fall down
the hole next to that girl you fought earlier (Lass Connie), and then you'll
fight another trainer...
Sailor Terrell
Level 20 Poliwhirl (561 EXP)
You get: 800G
Grab the Ether right next to him, head up the stairs, and head up even more
stairs. Fight the trainer below you.

Level 18 Poliwhirl (504 EXP)

Go down and get the Super Rebel, then climb the stairs again. We are finally
on the top level, Level 6. Talk to the person on that level, and it is Gym
Leader Jasmine. She asks you to get medicine for Ampharos for her. Drop back
down to the bottom of the lighthouse and out to Olivine City by jumping the
holes on the right side of each floor.

Heal at the PoKeMoN Center, then deposit the three types of Apricorns you've
picked up, as well as the Mint Berry, then withdraw 3 normal berries. You
have 4 now...you need three more before you can do anything at the Moo Moo
Farm. Also deposit your highest-level PoKeMoN (probably Raticate) and
withdraw Wooper, which you will teach Surf right now. Now exit, and enter the
PoKeMart. First time ever, meh? Buy three antidotes, three great balls and
seven super potions. Now head west from the PoKeMoN Center onto Route 40!

Head to about where you see the swimmer in the water, then activate Surf by
clicking A at the water. It's time for the sea battles to begin! Talk to the

Swim southwest till you see a swimmer that's a girl. Face her next.
Swimmer Elaine
Level 21 Staryu (477 EXP)
You get: 420G
Head down till you see another girl...a little southeast. Let's take another
water battle! As a note of advice out of random, when your PoKeMoN is
confused, don't press A...do nothing, unlike when you have to catch a PoKeMoN.
Swimmer Paula
Level 19 Staryu (430 EXP)
Level 19 Shellder (394 EXP)
You get: 380G
Head southeast again to encounter another guy there, the final swimmer on the

Level 20 Wartotle (612 EXP)
Level 18 Shellder (373 EXP)

Route 41 should give your PoKeMoN (mainly Eevee) lots of training for
experience. From that swimmer on Route 41, go straight down and fight the boy
swimming around, or more like, spinning around. He seems to be the first
trainer you've met to even have six PoKeMoN...use a super potion on Eevee in
this battle.
Swimmer George
Level 16 Tentacool (360 EXP)
Level 17 Tentacool (382 EXP)

Level 19 Staryu (430 EXP)
Level 17 Tentacool (382 EXP)
Level 19 Remoraid (316 EXP)
You get: 152G
Liz then calls you about her Nidoran pwning a Rattata. Yay! Continue going
south from George and you'll spot another swimmer. Either that, or she spots
you.
Swimmer Kara
Level 20 Staryu (453 EXP)
Level 20 Starmie (886 EXP)
You get: 400G
Well, Starmie did quite some damage against Eevee...Dana calls from Route 38
and she has a gift. How cool? Use a Super Potion on Eevee, then keep heading
south along the smaller and smaller path. You will EVENTUALLY spot a swimmer.
Fight him, the guy who talks of the Whirl Islands. Use a Super Potion during
the battle against Krabby, cause it could do some major damage.
Swimmer Mathew
Level 23 Krabby (565 EXP)
You get: 184G
Keep heading west. The girl will battle you.
Swimmer Wendy
Level 21 Horsea (373 EXP)

You will reach land after that battle. Welcome to...

|Cianwood City|

PoKeMoN found in Cianwood City:
# 213 Shuckle (Get for free)
Items found in Cianwood City:
HM02
Secret Potion
TM01
Cianwood is pretty small, and you will not be spending much time here. Heal
at the PoKeMoN Center, then deposit Wooper and withdraw Raticate back into
your lineup. And Arnie challenges you to another battle on Route 35. Meh. Now
put Bellsprout into the PC, then head to the building between the PoKeMoN
Center and the city gym. In another house a guy will give you his Shuckle, if
you keep it away from your rival. If you give his Shuckle back later...well
you'll lose it! So don't even let him see you take it. You will receive a
Level 15 Shuckie from the PoKeManiac if you agree to take care of it!
Now head to the building below that. It's the Pharmacy. A guy inside the
house, wearing sunglasses will give you some medicine, a.k.a. Secret Potion.
You will give this back to Jasmine in Olivine for Ampharos to light back the
lighthouse. If you visit the home in the top part of town, he will offer to
take pictures of your PoKeMoN. You can then print them out if you have the
Gameboy Printer.
Anyways, it's now time to battle in the Cianwood City Gym and face Chuck, the
fighting gym leader. Equip HM04 Strength on the new Level 15 Shuckle that you
just got. Let it replace Withdraw.
6 hours into the game, enter the gym.
Your lineup should now look like this:
Level 27 Starter Evolution
Level 27 Sudowoodo
Level 28 Raticate
Level 29 Eevee
Level 15 Shuckle
Odd Egg
PoKeMoN battle go! Simply head up for the battling...Eevee's gonna take quite
a pounding here, however. Do realize that fighting types pwn normal and rock.
so instead of putting Eevee, Sudowoodo, or Raticate first, put your Starter
Revolution first...go up the left side so the left trainer fights you first.
This is gonna be a tough fight because you are now reliant on one PoKeMoN at
this time. I know you're going to be stretched really thin for this gym, but
things will get better. Save before the first trainer battle. Oh yeah,
remember that Eevee's Bite should replace Tail Whip.
Blackbelt Yoshi
Level 27 Hitmonlee (804 EXP)
You get: 648G
Before you can react, the other Blackbelt fights you...
Blackbelt Lao
Level 27 Hitmonchan (810 EXP)
You get: 648G
Switch up Eevee for the 3rd trainer battle! Use tackle on Machop and injure
it, then bring in Sudowoodo and its low kicks on both Machop and Machoke.
Blackbelt Nob
Level 25 Machop (471 EXP)
Level 25 Machoke (565 EXP)
You get: 600G
Use Strength to push your way to the last trainer before the gym leader.
Raticate kicks so much @#( with hyper fang...hehe...
Blackbelt Lung
Level 23 Mankey (364 EXP)
Level 23 Mankey (364 EXP)
Level 25 Primeape (798 EXP)
You get: 600G
OK, now go out of the gym, heal, then go back in the gym. To truly get past
those boulders, push the left and right ones up one, then push the center one
left or right. Easy. Line up your PoKeMoN in this order: Raticate, Quilava,
Eevee, Sudowoodo. Now you are set. Save at this point too...3rd major save of
the game. Chuck thinks he can intimidate you with his power, but...
---
GYM LEADER CHUCK
Level 27 Primeape (861 EXP)
Level 30 Poliwrath (1188 EXP)
You get: Storm Badge, 3000G, & TM01 (Dynamic-Punch)
---
Strategy VERSUS Primeape: As you've seen in the last battle, Raticate has a
powerful hyper fang move...two of them should do it. Bird PoKeMoN obviously
rule for this gym, but Primeape is strong against Raticate and yet Raticate
wins. You can even cause Primeape to flinch after the first hyper fang.
Raticate owns this gym.
Strategy VERSUS Poliwrath: Again, you'll want to use hyper fang every move,
but Poliwrath is going to be tougher to pull down. After Raticate falls, pull
in your starter and have it unleash elemental moves (or quick attack if it's
Quilava). Use quick attack on Eevee. Use low kick on Sudowoodo. The
combination of four PoKeMoN unleashing damage on Poliwrath should be enough
to down it. Congratulations.
For Sudowoodo, Rock Slide should replace Mimic. With the victory over Chuck,
you have FIVE badges, another TM (Dynamic-Punch), and more moolah. Woot.
You're also within easy range for a 6th badge. Level 70 and under PoKeMoN all
obey you and now you can use HM02 Fly, which you'll be getting in just a
second. Dynamic Punch is the deadly punch Poliwrath gave you earlier, but it
has crappy aim and will only work half the time. Talk to the lady outside the
gym and she will give you HM02 Fly after she notices your fifth badge...she
turns out to be Chuck's wife. Weird. You'll want to fly back to Olivine now
so that you can give the medicine to Jasmine and the Ampharos, but...
Heal, deposit the Shuckle and withdraw your Pidgey. Teach Pidgey HM02 Fly and
fly back to Goldenrod City. You heard me. Goldenrod City.
|--------------|
|Goldenrod City|
|--------------|
Welcome back. Here, we'll want to go into the Goldenrod City underground, so
head to the southwestern portion of town and do so. Go in and you'll find the
three shops again. Talk to the man who is running the second/middle shop. Pay
the 500G for Eevee to get groomed. You want Eevee happy for evolution, right?
=) Eevee's happiness meter should get a nice boost. Now get out of there and
fly back to Olivine City.
|------------|
|Olivine City|
|------------|
OK, you're back in Olivine City. Go to the Olivine Lighthouse...
|------------------|
|Olivine Lighthouse|
|------------------|
Climb up the Olivine Lighthouse in the EXACT same way you came up...which
means falling to the left of that one lass. Once you get all the way up, talk
to Jasmine and say Yes to the fact that Ampharos will be cured by the
medicine. Now Jasmine will return to her gym, so that's good. Now drop down
out of the Lighthouse like you did before and re-enter Olivine City.
|------------|
|Olivine City|
|------------|
At about this time, the Odd Egg will hatch with one of the seven PoKeMoN. I
personally got a Magby, but it'll vary. It won't play a major role in your
attack towards the Elite Four, though...let's fly to Ecruteak City.
|-------------|
|Ecruteak City|
|-------------|
OK, from here, you'll want to head east onto Route 42. Your journey here is
primarily to get your 5th Elite Four member...bring along Wooper for Surf and
Bellsprout for Cut...you can leave both your odd egg's form and Pidgey in the
Center.

Items found in Route 42:
Grn Apricorn
Pnk Apricorn
Super Potion
Ultra Ball
Ylw Apricorn
Grab the Ultra Ball you see right after you enter the route, and there's Mt.
Mortar above, but your goal is to sail across that lake now. Then, grab the
three Apricorns. Keep going and then grab the Super Potion. Surf across the
second lake and talk to the fisherman for a battle! Keep training your
PoKeMoN...Raticate's Pursuit should replace Focus Energy.
Fisher Tully
Level 18 Qwilfish (385 EXP)
You get: 720G
You'll see two more trainers. Fight them both.
PoKeManiac Shane
Level 16 Nidorina (400 EXP)

# 017 Pidgeotto
# 048 Venonat
# 164 Noctowl
# 179 Mareep
# 180 Flaaffy
# 230 Girafarig
Items found in Route 43:
Bitter Berry

Head up the path to fight some five trainers. Let's commenc.
Camper Spencer
Level 17 Sandshrew (337 EXP)
Level 18 Sandslash (592 EXP)
Level 19 Zubat (219 EXP)
You get: 380G
As you go through Route 43 you will see a building blocking the right side of
the road. DO NOT GO THROUGH IT. You will find Team Rocket inside and they
will take $1,000 from you, just to let you pass. You should go the long way
to the Lake of Rage. As you near the end of Route 43 you will find two routes
to the Lake of Rage. The left path will bring you two some items (be sure to
have a PoKeMoN with Cut), and you will also find Wesley of Wednesday. He will
give you the Blackbelt item, which powers up Fighting attacks. The right path
will lead to the Lake of Rage. Head up for more battling. Remember to grab
the Max Ether...
Picnicker Tiffany
Level 20 Clefairy (291 EXP)
You get: 400G
Keep moving up. Use a Super Potion on Eevee (who you should have in front
again).
PoKeManiac Brent
Level 19 Lickitung (516 EXP)
You get: 1140G
And Mom buys you another item. Erm, keep moving up the path. Two more
trainers to go. Haha, the next guy mentions your rival making fun of his
PoKeMoN...
PoKeManiac Ron
Level 19 Nidoking (793 EXP)
You get: 1140G
Keep going north!
PoKeManiac Ben
Level 19 Slowbro (667 EXP)
You get: 1140G
Head up into the Lake of Rage.
|------------|
|Lake of Rage|
|------------|
Items found in the Lake of Rage:
Blackbelt
Max Ether
Red Scale
TM 10
TM 43
If you talk to the people around, they will tell you that something strange
has been going on. If you surf into the Lake of Rage you will find a
Gyarados, but this is no ordinary Gyarados, this is a Red Gyarados. There is
nothing special about the Red Gyarados, besides it being Red. However color
variations of any PoKeMoN are very rare, so you should do everything you can
to catch this Gyarados, so save before the battle (4th major save of the
game). Use hyper fang and then quick attacks from Raticate to chop it down in
HP, then capture it with the help of a Great Ball. Nice, you did it!
After you capture the Red Gyarados you will receive the Red Scale. If you
bring that item to Mr. PoKeMoN he will give you the EXP. Share item.
When you reach the Lake of Rage, talk to someone with a cape on him (he's
looking at a sign). He is Lance, the dragon trainer from the first games (the
4th Elite Four member, remember?) Talk to him, and help him investigate the
matter...it seems there's a problem in Mahogany Town. Ride back onto Route 43.
|--------|
|Route 43|
|--------|
Return to Mahogany Town.
|-------------|
|Mahogany Town|
|-------------|
Heal, deposit Wooper and Bellsprout, and withdraw Gyarados and Pidgey, then
heal again. We'll fly back to Olivine City now...
|------------|
|Olivine City|
|------------|
Enter the Olivine City Gym. This is a steel-based gym with electric elements.
Gyarados is of course your best bet, but Sudowoodo and Raticate will do well
too. Keep moving up in the gym. You will find there are no apprentices of any
kind. It's just Jasmine...let's take her on! Jasmine remembers your help and
thanks you for it but goes formal anyway...save before the battle. 5th major
save of the game. Put Quilava or Raticate in front.
---
GYM LEADER JASMINE
Level 30 Magnemite (571 EXP)
Level 30 Magnemite (571 EXP)
Level 35 Steelix (1470 EXP)
You get: Mineral Badge, 3,500G, & TM23 (Iron Tail)
---
Strategy VERSUS 1st Magnemite: Sonic boom is awesome for the part of
Magnemite, even against PoKeMoN that are strong against it. Sudowoodo's low
kick is VERY effective against Magnemite and should down it. Your other
option is sending in Quilava (if you have him) or Raticate.
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Magnemite: This is basically the same as the 2nd
Magnemite. Hyper fangs, low kicks, and ember are effective moves.
Strategy VERSUS Steelix: This is the steel evolution of Onix that likes to
use strong steel attacks. Iron Tail is quite an attack. You have a few
options here. You can use the Gyarados you just got and unleash Dragon Rage
every move, cause it does consistent damage. You can use Sudowoodo's low
kicks and Quilava (if you have him)'s embers. Otherwise, use your other
starter's elementals and normal attacks, and then bust in Eevee's moves.
Regardless, Steelix looks hard and has lots of defense, so wear Steelix out
with multiple PoKeMoN.
Woot! That's your sixth badge! Getting the Gyarados helped, did it not? This
gym leader also thinks you're better now (some gym leaders are arrogant), and
with the Mineral Badge your PoKeMoN's defense is raised slightly. You also
get TM23, Iron Tail, the attack Steelix used.
Anyway, getting the Gyarados helped, didn't it? Now that you've gotten your
Mineral Badge, heal, then fly back to Mahogany Town...Dana challenges you to
a battle on Route 38. We'll get to those rematches later. :P
|-------------|
|Mahogany Town|
|-------------|
Heal, then deposit some items...and...
Your lineup should now look something like this:
Level 27 Starter Evolution
Level 28 Sudowoodo
Level 30 Eevee
Level 30 Gyarados
Level 31 Raticate
Level 5 Pidgey
If you head to the middle of the town where a guy is selling things, you'll
find Lance inside basically forcing his way through that house. He'll show
you the secret door to Team Rocket's Hideout. You'll team up with Lance to
take out Team Rocket now...make sure your trained PoKeMoN are ready for this
fight, because after you head downstairs, the war begins. You and Lance must
now stop Team Rocket's operations, but you're still left on your own. Head
left after you do so. Intruder...you, have been spotted...
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 17 Drowzee (368 EXP)
Level 19 Zubat (219 EXP)
You get: 760G
And a second one comes in...whee for you. You see, every time you pass one of
those statues...two Team Rocket members will fight you...at least it's all
experience...
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 16 Zubat (184 EXP)
Level 17 Grimer (327 EXP)
Level 18 Rattata (219 EXP)
You get: 720G
Yep, see? You really should read the dialogue...anyway, you'll spot another
statue while heading left. Go down and you'll eventually see a pattern of zig-
zags that avoid the statues. Sneak your way through that middle section, then
let's fight the Scientist!
Scientist Jed
Level 20 Magnemite (381 EXP)
Level 20 Magnemite (381 EXP)
Level 20 Magnemite (381 EXP)
You get: 2000G
Talk to the scientist, then go up to the computer and press A to switch the
switch. Now no more Team Rocket Grunts will smack you every time you reach a
statue. Pick up the hyper potion, guard spec, and the nugget as you walk
around. When you float around to the southwest part of the room, go down the
staircase to the next floor (Negative Floor 2). Lance will meet up with you
again and heal your PoKeMoN. There are two Rockets on this floor, so beat
them...by heading east.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 18 Venonat (288 EXP)
Level 18 Venonat (288 EXP)
You get: 720G
Head down and right...
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 18 Golbat (658 EXP)
You get: 720G
Head downstairs to Negative Floor 3...we need to get passwords. Lance says
that to unlock the doors on this level you need to get 2 passwords from the
Rocket members. The two members that have the passwords are on this level. Go
past the trainer Lance just owned, then head above him to fight the scientist.
Scientist Ross
Level 22 Koffing (537 EXP)
Level 22 Koffing (537 EXP)
You get: 2200G
Head up to fight the Team Rocket person above that, who MIGHT have the
password. She does.
Rocket Grunt (F)
Level 18 Ekans (238 EXP)
Level 18 Gloom (508 EXP)
You get: 720G
Now that you've beat her, you have the password after you talk to
her...SLOWPOKETAIL. Get the Ice Heal outside of the "circular" right area,
then head left to fight...
Scientist Mitch
Level 23 Ditto (313 EXP)
You get: 2400G
Head left to the final trainer near the 2 items and the table. Fight him.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 19 Raticate (471 EXP)
You get: 760G
Talk to him again now that you've beat him, and he'll give you his password
(RATICATE TAIL). Get the items (X Special and Protein), go up the stairs at
the upper-left part of the floor, then head left on Negative Floor 2. Fight
the Team Rocket member that spots you...or that you reach.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 17 Rattata (207 EXP)
Level 17 Rattata (207 EXP)
Level 17 Zubat (196 EXP)
You get: 680G
Head up the stairs to Negative Floor 1. Head right and then before you reach
the locked door, your rival will come and talk to you. He can't battle you
though, cause Lance just destroyed him. Haha..."He said I don't love and
trust my PoKeMoN enough." Grab the ultra door just past the door, then press
A at the door to open it and go in...Giovanni's office. Let the fight
begin...Giovanni's guard will fall!
Rocket Executive (M)
Level 22 Zubat (253 EXP)
Level 24 Raticate (595 EXP)
Level 22 Koffing (537 EXP)
You get: 1584G
He quickly runs off after he loses...talk to the Murkrow next to the Rocket
Executive and it'll give you the final password, HAIL GIOVANNI. Now head to
the second stairs that you did NOT come out of, and grab TM46 from there,
then go back down to the same floor as where you just beat the executive.
Head back the way you came, past the spinning Team Rocket member, and go back
upstairs...pick up the Full Heal on the way. Go back down to the floor with
the gate blocking you from entering the area with machines inside....we're
going ALL the way back to where you met Lance for the first time INSIDE the
Team Rocket hideout, so 2nd, where he healed you. You'll find a door right
there. Open it, and you'll quickly get surrounded by two Team Rocket
executives. Now you'd have to take both executives, but Lance comes just in
time. This time, you're fighting the female Team Rocket boss while Giovanni's
apprentice (quite literally) takes on Lance. Spreading the fun? The battle
isn't too difficult though, so just defeat her with any combo.
Rocket Executive (F)
Level 23 Arbok (724 EXP)
Level 23 Gloom (649 EXP)
Level 25 Murkrow (573 EXP)
You get: 1800G
She later says that you would be powerful enough to be a Rocket
Executive...well, that battle is over. The broadcast experiment is a
success...but there goes their hideout...both of them disappear after they
lose. Now, go into the area with the machines now (just above you) and help
Lance destroy the Electrodes supplying the base with electricity. There are
three of them, so you take the left side. (Lance takes the other three) They
usually do Self Destruct, so use your Sudowoodo. The signal is supposedly
charged by the Electrodes by Team Rocket...and I guess it just makes
everything around the signal all...messed up in thoughts and actions.
Level 23 Electrode (492 EXP)
Level 23 Electrode (492 EXP)
Level 23 Electrode (492 EXP)
The Lake is saved...and Lance thinks you're the hero. He gives you HM06
Waterpool, an item he found lying around in the hideout. Excellent...you'll
have a use for this later. You'll need the 7th badge to use it, though.
Follow Lance's way out to the stairs, then use the warp next to it to head
out of the hideout...you know your way out now.
Heal, then enter the PoKeMoN gym. Let's get that 7th badge now, you'll need
your ice skates. I'm serious! This gym will be easier than Jasmine's, because
Pryce's PoKeMoN are actually lower level...skate to the left to fight the
very first trainer. Get those PoKeMoN levelled up...this is an ICE gym so
fire, grass, and rock can be effective...
Boarder Ronald
Level 23 Seel (513 EXP)

You get: 1872G
Slide once to the right, then down to face another trainer.
Skier Clarissa
Level 28 Dewgong (1056 EXP)
You get: 2016G
Head up twice, then float left to the final trainer before Pryce. If you have
Quilava, Flame Wheel should replace Leer.
Skier Roxanne
Level 28 Jynx (822 EXP)
You get: 2016G
Slide down and out of the gym to heal first. Heal at the center, then go back
into the gym. Go to just left of the left pillar then go up, up, right, down,
left, up and finally right. You will be standing in front of the gym leader.
Good luck against Pryce! Bring in Raticate as your forward fighter. You
should now be 7 1/4 to 7 1/2 hours into the game. This will be a piece of
cake after Jasmine...even though he thinks he's better cause he's far older...
Your lineup should now be:
Level 31 Raticate
Level 31 Gyarados
Level 31 Bayleef or Quilava, or Croconaw
Level 31 Eevee
Level 31 Sudowoodo
Level 5 Pidgey

GYM LEADER PRYCE
Level 27 Seel (577 EXP)
Level 29 Dewgong (1093 EXP)
Level 31 Piloswine (1052 EXP)
You get: Glacier Badge, 3,100G, & TM16 (Icy Wind)
---
Strategy VERSUS Seel: Unleash the power of hyper fang. One hit should do it.
Easy.
Strategy VERSUS Dewgong: Use two to three hyper fangs on Dewgong...it might
get one attack on you. Oh no! GASP!
Strategy VERSUS Piloswine: Piloswine could be tougher, as it is powerful and
has lots of defenses. However, it is slow. Use Raticate's hyper fangs until
Raticate falls, then bring in Red Gyarados and dragon rage or Flame Wheel on
Quilava. That's game.
You're worthy of the badge, and you get the SEVENTH badge. Woot. Special
stats of PoKeMoN are raised, you get more mooooney, and you have Icy Wind.
You can now use Whirlpool. Skate your way to the bottom of the gym, then
exit. One more badge to go!
You will now get a phone call by Elm. This is informing you that Goldenrod
City has been overrun by Team Rocket! Wow! How could Team Rocket invade
almost two cities at once? Heal, then fly to the city on your Pidgey.
|--------------|
|Goldenrod City|
|--------------|
You will now see that Team Rocket has pretty much overrun the whole
city...we'll want to take it back. Go inside the Radio Tower. This is where
all of the Team Rocket trouble is going on. Head in to fight your first
Rocket foe.

The director is now in the Underground Warehouse now...you beat Team Rocket
here, but it's not over yet. He gives you the Basement Key. Head back out of
the place and then heal at the PoKeMoN Center. Then head to the northwestern
part of town and enter the northwesternmost building. This is the other
Underground entrance. Head down the stairs and then head to the PoKeMoN Salon
again to get Eevee a bit happier first. Now head down the hallway that had
the locked door you saw WAY back. Enter it now that you have the Basement
Key, then head down the stairs. Be ready for a fight with your rival. Try
going left and your rival will meet you in another battle. He thinks he can
take care of Team Rocket alone and tries to get rid of you. Let Eevee start
the hostilities...have him use quick attacks on Golbat, then switch to
Sudowoodo's rock slide. Use Gyarados against the starter PoKeMoN, probably
Feraligatr. Use Dragon Rages to finish that off. Use Sudowoodo against
Magnemite and use rock slides. Use your starter's elemental moves against
Haunter. Use your starter if it is Quilava for fire moves, or use Sudowoodo's
low kicks to finish off Sneasel. Not too difficult in any case.
Rival

Level 28 Magnemite (534 EXP)

Level 32 Sneasel (904 EXP)
You get: 1920G
Haha, your rival has no clue why he lost. He thinks of Lance's earlier
comments and doubts himself. Yay. He still has his dream that will never
succeed. Now, move on to take on the Rocket Grunts after you heal (believe
me, there's so many of them you will want to)...do so. After you heal, come
back here and take on the first Rocket Grunt.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 27 Rattata (328 EXP)
You get: 1080G
Move on left.

Now, see the three switches next to each Rocket member you defeated? Go back
to the 1st trainer, and switch the one next to him, then the one next to the
2nd trainer, then the one to the 3rd trainer. So, you should have turned on
the switches in the same order you beat the trainers. Go down from the 3rd
trainer...to fight someone else.
Burglar Eddie
Level 26 Growlithe (500 EXP)
Level 24 Koffing (585 EXP)
You get: 2112G
Now turn off switches 3 and 2 (the last two you did), and then snag the item
you see. It is a Full Heal. Exit to the stairs then come back up so the
switches are reset, and turn them on in the opposite direction (3, 2, then 1)
from the left to the right. This will FINALLY clear a route...head down along
the route and you'll fight another burglar.
Burglar Duncan
Level 23 Koffing (561 EXP)
Level 23 Koffing (561 EXP)
Level 25 Magmar (894 EXP)

Head right to fight the other Rocket Grunt.

OK, now go through the door and grab the Ultra Ball, then keep going on the
beaten path and eventually a Rocket will spot you.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 24 Raticate (594 EXP)
Level 24 Golbat (879 EXP0
You get: 960G
Grab the Max Ether to the right and continue on the path up. Next battle!
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 26 Grimer (501 EXP)
Level 23 Weezing (??? EXP)
You get: 920G
If anyone gets me the EXP for the above, I will be grateful. Just tell me
that it is from the Team Rocket battles of Goldenrod and fill in the EXP.
Thanks. Now, head up the stairs to grab the Amulet Coin, which after equipped
will be able to DOUBLE the amount of gold you get from each battle on a
PoKeMoN. Head back down the stairs and then follow the path until you reach
the boss of this freak place.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 25 Koffing (610 EXP)
Level 25 Koffing (610 EXP)
You get: 1000G
Talk to him again and he'll tell you they're basically holding on until the
return of Giovanni. Carry on and take TM35 which is next to the Director.
Talk to the Director who is now freed thanks to you...kinda. You receive a
Card Key now. Remember the part of the Radio Tower that hasn't been liberated
by you yet? Now it's time to retake that area. So your job is to save the
PoKeMoN worldwide by hitting that region. Exit by the way you came...when you
get blocked, use the switch. Heal, then return to the Radio Tower.
OK, access the PC in here and deposit a few items from your first pocket of
your pack, cause it's obvious you'll be getting even more items. Deposit
EVERYTHING you won't be using IN any battles. Head up to Floor 2, then Floor
3. Head to the very right part of the room where you'll spot a shutter thing.
Go to the switch and put in the key. Head right to face the first Rocket.
Rocket Grunt (M)
Level 24 Raticate (595 EXP)
Level 26 Koffing (634 EXP)
You get: 1040G
Go up the stairs to Floor 4, then fight the girl.

Level 21 Ekans (279 EXP)
Level 24 Gloom (678 EXP)
Level 23 Oddish (384 EXP)
You get: 960G
Attempt to go to Floor 5 and you have your third battle...
Rocket Executive (M)
Level 36 Golbat (1318 EXP)
You get: 2592G
And so goes the Team Rocket fortress. Whee. Advance on to Floor 5 and
fight...the same boss you fought before. It's amazing how easy Team Rocket is
to beat, right? Using just about any PoKeMoN's strongest move against them
weakens them greatly...
Rocket Executive (F)
Level 32 Arbok (1008 EXP)
Level 32 Murkrow (733 EXP)
Level 32 Vileplume (1261 EXP)
You get: 2304G
She still wishes you were part of Team Rocket. Meh for her. Go up to the
other boss...you remember that Lance beat him last time...he wants to call
back Giovanni through the tower. Stop him! Any Water, Ground, Rock, or
Fighting move will make this even easier. Sudowoodo's rock slides will be
deadly.
Rocket Exceutive (M)
Level 33 Houndour (805 EXP)
Level 33 Koffing (805 EXP)
Level 35 Houndoom (1530 EXP)
You get: 2520G, Demise of Team Rocket
Like Giovanni, he disbands Team Rocket. Well, good job! There goes Team
Rocket and its menace. The director will come up to greet and thank you. You
are given a Rainbow or Silver Wing that will allow you to get to Ho-oh or
Lugia depending on your version...grab the Ultra Ball to the left, and then
you'll be able to head to the Tin Tower in Ecruteak City now. Exit the Radio
Tower and heal, then fly back to Ecruteak City.
Nine hours into the game, your lineup should look something like:
Level 9 Pidgey
Level 32 Eevee
Level 33 Gyarados
Level 33 Raticate
Level 34 Sudowoodo
Level 35 Starter Evolution
Okay, good job. Now, you can either head to Ecruteak City (if you have Gold
version) or Olivine City (Silver version). I will cover both below. Fly to
the designated city...
|----------------------------|
|Ecruteak City - Gold Version|
|----------------------------|
Go back to Ecruteak City and then go into the Tin Tower. Just ascend the
stairs till you get to the top. There should be Ho-oh. I suggest that you
save before you fight him because this is the only chance you'll be able to
get him. Use Sudowoodo's Rock Slides the entire time till it's low on HP.
Bring lots of Ultra Balls and Great Balls. Also bring Friend Balls and some
revives. The Ho-oh is at Level 40...good luck!
|-----------------------------|
|Olivine City - Silver Version|
|-----------------------------|
Surf south of Olivine City to find the Whirl Islands. You'll find four
caves...Whirlpool your way to the northeast cave. Here, you'll be able to
capture a Level 40 Lugia that you'll need desperately against Ash. Use a
Flash from Espeon, then head up and leap the ledge to the right on that bike.
You'll see a Max Revive on the cliff. To get to it and continue on your
jouney, leap down another ledge to the right, go up the steps, grab the Max
Revive, and head down the ladder. Head south, then jump to the left. Keep
jupping down and you'll get an Escape Rope. Woo...go down and then left, then
up the ladder. You can now head out the door to breathe which is pointless,
or surf east. Do so and surf east, then grab an Ultra Ball. Head down the
ladder. Now head up along the path and then head down, and up that cliff.
There's yet another item here. It's a Calcium. Now, on that cliff, head down
to the ladder and climb up it. Now, bike down and out the door. That's most
of the Whirl Islands' items. Now that you've gone from the northeast to the
southeast portion of the Whirl Islands, surf your way out of the reefs and
then Whirlpool out. Head east then north to the trainer you saw earlier...the
one next to that whirlpool.
Kill that whirlpool again and head in again. Use Flash, again. Drop down the
first cliff, but this time, drop down the TOP cliff instead of the bottom
cliff, then head down the ladder. Continue along the path south and head down
that ladder. Grab the Max Revive to the left of you, then surf south. There's
two items on the cliff but you can't reach those...surf down the waterfall,
then head left and through the door. Head in, and surf north to Lugia. Save
at this point, then use a combination of Gyarados' dragon rage, Sudowoodo's
rock slide, and Eevee's sand attacks to weaken Lugia. It's suggested that you
bring lots of Ultra Balls and a Friend Ball or too, cause I caught my Lugia
with a Friend Ball. Bring some revives, too.
You cannot get both Ho-oh and Lugia as of now, so that means you can only get
the one according to your version:
Gold = Ho-oh
Silver = Lugia
But later, when you've gotten around 13 badges, you can catch the other
PoKeMoN, it will be at Lv.70. Now fly back to Mahogany Town.
|-------------|
|Mahogany Town|
|-------------|
Head east onto Route 44 now that you finally can.
|--------|
|Route 44|
|--------|
Head straight east...
Psychic Phil
Level 24 Natu (565 EXP)
Level 24 Kadabra (807 EXP)
You get: 832G
Head up to grab the Burnt Berry from the tree, then the item east of that
trainer (Max Repel). Continue heading east and talk to the Fisherman! And
your Mom buys you really random items...
Fisher Edgar
Level 25 Remoraid (417 EXP)
Level 25 Remoraid (417 EXP)
You get: 1000G
Keep heading east...
Cooltrainer Cybil
Level 25 Butterfree (854 EXP)
Level 25 Bellossom (985 EXP)
You get: 1200G
Keep heading east along this strange route after you beat her...
Cooltrainer Allen
Level 27 Chameleon (820 EXP)
You get: 1296G
Wow, respect from two trainers in a row...continue along, and when you see
that you can go up, do so and grab the ultra ball, then head along the
northern route. Yes, back towards Mahogany Town. More trainers are here.
PoKeManiac Zach
Level 27 Rhyhorn (780 EXP)
You get: 1620G
Then talk to the fisherman...
Fisher Wilton
Level 23 Goldeen (546 EXP)
Level 23 Goldeen (546 EXP)
Level 25 Seaking (910 EXP)
You get: 1000G
Now head back east...
Bird Keeper Vance
Level 25 Pidgeotto (604 EXP)
Level 25 Pidgeotto (604 EXP)
You get: 600G
Now, you'll be heading into the Ice Path. Good luck with the mazes!
Haha...fly back to Mahogany to heal first, then deposit Pidgey and withdraw
Shuckle for the HM Strength...ride all the way from the town through the
route again to the Ice Path. Get off your bike when you get in...
|--------|
|Ice Path|
|--------|
Follow the ice path...there's no sliding ice yet. There, however, are two ice
mazes that will be interesting...head down the first icy path with simply a
right, down, right, and then down. OK, fine, that wasn't really considered an
icy maze. There'll be more coming later. Go up the stairs, follow the route,
go down the stairs, follow the route, and you'll hit your first ice maze.
Now, go up, left, down, left, up, right, down, left, up, left, down, right,
down, and then right to pass this section.
When you complete this first ice maze, you'll want to head right onto the
second ice maze to get HM07 Waterfall. To do so, head right, up, left down,
and then right to take the HM. Afterwards, go left again, up, right, down,
right, up, right, down, left, down, and then left to get out. HM07, or the
waterfall climbing HM, can later be taught to a weakie like your Wooper. Head
up the stairway and along the icy path. Head down the stairs and then down
the ladder.
Now, head along the path till you see two boulders. Here's when strength will
be handy. Move the bottom boulder right, then three times down. Now move
below it and push it back up one, and now push it again 5 times to the left.
Now push it down one and right one and there goes one boulder.
OK, now we have the other boulder. Damn boulders...move that one two to the
left, then three up, then push that one back down one. Then push it left one
and down one. That's two. You will not need to move the far right one.
Unfortunately, there's more boulders left. Head far right following the
bottom path and you'll spot two boulders...one to the left, one to the right.
Let's take care of the one to the left first. Push this boulder two up, then
one left, and two up. Simply push it two to the right, then up, and then left
to smack it in. Fall through the hole below it and then go left, up, and
right to snag the item, FUll Heal! Head down the ladder then rock smash the
rock near you. Grab the Nevermeltice, then head right and go up, down the
stairs, and with the ladder going down, to the next stage.
Head to the right side, and then you'll want to slide down to the part before
you fall off. Find the stairway, then go the opposite direction and slide
down. Slide right and you have the TM for Rest, TM44. Now go left and up,
then go back around. This time, go up the stairway and down the other one and
you'll reach an island of solid ice in which you can go up the ladder.
Move towards the right and down the stairway. Then go left, down, left, and
then down. Simply head left on the weird slippery ice path to get that Iron.
Once you head back out, go right, up, right, down, left, up, left, up, and
then left. Woot. You're done. Climb up the steps and go up the ladder.
Go up even more steps to get the Protein, then slide down at the very left to
grab a PP Up. Slide back up and drop anywhere in the middle of the area and
then go down from there. Walk out of the cave and finally, into Blackthorn
City!
|---------------|
|Blackthorn City|
|---------------|
Head southwest and then heal your PoKeMoN. It's time to hit the final gym.
9:45 into the game, we should be ready...head up to the top of the city to
reach the gym. This is a dragon-based gym, so this could be interesting...
Your lineup should now be:
Level 34 Raticate
Level 34 Red Gyarados
Level 35 Eevee
Level 35 Starter Evolution
Level 35 Sudowoodo
Level 15 Shuckie
Head left to fight your first trainer battle. Gyarados and dragon rage should
lead the assault, but let others on your team join the fun, too...
Cooltrainer Paul
Level 34 Dratini (487 EXP)
Level 34 Dratini (487 EXP)
Level 34 Dratini (487 EXP)
You get: 1632G
Move up above him and head up the stairs. You'll find out you need to move
even more boulders, but luckily, that's why our Shuckie is still around. For
the two above you, move the right one up two, and the left one down two and
into the hole. Now head down to fight...
Cooltrainer Fran
Level 37 Seadra (1228 EXP)
You get: 1776G
Oddly enough, Fran's a girl name. To top that, Gyarados learns Twister after
Seadra uses it. You'll want Twister to replace Leer, obviously. You'll see
two more boulders nearby...push the right one down three, and the left one up
nine, then to the right two to make that fall. Head up to fight the last
dragon trainer on this level.
Cooltrainer Cody
Level 34 Horsea (604 EXP)
Level 36 Seadra (1195 EXP)
You get: 1728G
Push the boulder right next to you three to the right, then move the other
one down one. Easy. Now, head down the stairs you saw earlier next to the
second hole you encountered. Head two up, then to the left to fight that
trainer.
Cooltrainer Mike
Level 37 Dragonair (1141 EXP)
You get: 1776G
Head across the boulder path you just created and then to the final trainer
before Clair.
Cooltrainer Lola
Level 34 Dratini (487 EXP)
Level 36 Dragonair (1110 EXP)
You get: 1728G
Now that you've finished beating everyone, retreat back to heal, then come
back to face Clair...head the team with Gyarados. Clair says she can hold her
own against the Elite Four as the dragon master. We'll see about that!
---
GYM LEADER CLAIR
Level 37 Dragonair (1141 EXP)
Level 37 Dragonair (1141 EXP)
Level 40 Kingdra (1773 EXP)
Level 37 Dragonair (1141 EXP)
You get: Rising Badge, 4,000G, TM24 (Dragon Breath)
---
Strategy VERSUS 1st Dragonair: Use Gyarados' dragon rages to wipe out the
initial Dragonair.
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Dragonair: Send out your starter (Quilava, of course, is
preferable), and have him do flame wheel to burn this Dragonair, then use
quick attacks to finish it off.
Strategy VERSUS Kingdra: Raticate is your best bet here. Keep using hyper
fangs and use a quick attack to defeat it.
Strategy VERSUS 3rd Dragonair: Use Eevee's quick attacks to take on the final
Dragonair, along with Sudowoodo's rock slide. It'll be a close fight, but
you'll win.
Well, that wasn't too hard...and that would be your 8th badge, but Clair
won't give you it just yet. Apparently, she's a sore loser and she won't give
you the badge until you get the Dragon Fang in the Dragon's Den. The Dragon's
Den is located across the sea above the gym, so go and grab your Wooper from
the PoKeMoN Center after you heal and drop Shuckle off. Head in after talking
to the guy in front of it, then go down the ladder and then out the door.
Then, you'll have a battle.
Cooltrainer Darin
Level 37 Dragonair (1141 EXP)
You get: 1776G
Head right to grab the Calcium, then head left. It's a dead end, but surf
over to fight that trainer.
Cooltrainer Cara
Level 33 Horsea (586 EXP)
Level 33 Horsea (586 EXP)
Level 35 Seadra (1162 EXP)
You get: 1680G
Surf down and fight...
Twins Lea & Pia
Level 35 Dratini (502 EXP)
Level 35 Dratini (502 EXP)
You get: 700G
Grab the Max Elixer below them. Now, equip HM06 Waterpool on Wooper. Surf
eastward and you'll spot a Whirlpool. Wooper can get rid of it, so do so,
then head southward. You will land soon, so head right and into the house.
Now you'll have to answer a few questions from the Dragon Master...to test
your pureness in a way.
Question 1: What are PoKeMoN to you? (Choose Pal OR Friend)
Question 2: What helps you win battles? (Choose Strategy OR Raising)
Question 3: What kind of trainer do you wish to battle? (Choose Tough Person
OR Anybody)
Question 4: What is most important for raising PoKeMoN? (Choose Love OR
Knowledge)
Question 5: Strong PoKeMoN. Weak PoKeMoN. Which is more important? (Choose
Both)
"You care deeply about your PoKeMoN." Clair will then come in and then wish
you failed but you passed, so she is forced to give the badge...even she
hasn't passed yet. You can now climb waterfalls with the final HM. All
PoKeMoN will now obey you. You still lack TM24...Clair is in denial
still...or so you think. Leave the house and then Clair will come after you
and finally give you TM24 Dragonbreath. She even gives you instructions to go
to the PoKeMoN League, by heading from New Bark Town and surfing east to the
PoKeMoN League. She tells you that she'll feel even worse if you lost at the
PoKeMoN League because she lost to you so you must win. Now head back out the
way you came and when you leave the cave (at the entrance), Professor Elm
will give you a call. If you swing by the lab, you'll get something really
awesome.
After you get the Dragon Fang Clair will finally reward you with the Rising
Badge and TM 24. Once you've done that and left the cave you will get a call
from Prof. Elm to come back to his lab. You'll want to head south onto Routes
45 & 46 and walk back to New Bark Town but before you do so, take out your
Sudowoodo, put him in your box, and head back to where Clair gave you the
badge. Go back in and talk to the Dragon Master again, and he will give you a
Dratini! If you fly back, be sure to suffer the consequences of having low-
level trained PoKeMoN.
10 1/2 hours into the game, your team should now be:
Level 15 Dratini
Level 35 Raticate
Level 35 Quilava
Level 35 Eevee
Level 36 Gyarados
Level 4 Wooper
This completes your final team for the Elite Four. Dratini, Raticate,
Quilava, Eevee, Gyarados, and Sudowoodo. Let's head south now and get Dratini
some experience.

# 231 Phanpy
Items found in Route 45 & 46:
Berry
Dire Hit
Elixer
Max Potion
Mystery Berry
PRZCure Berry
Revive
X Special
Well, if you took my advice to walk to New Bark Town as you should be doing,
Route 45 and Route 46 holds quite a few trainers and items that cannot be
gotten on your first trip, so you may want to fly back to Blackthorn City and
fight every trainer and grab every item. Anyway, head down the rightmost
route...
Cooltrainer Ryan
Level 25 Pidgeot (920 EXP)
Level 27 Electrabuzz (901 EXP)
You get: 1296G
Head south, grab the item, and then fight...

the right path again...
Blackbelt Kenji
Level 28 Machoke (776 EXP)
You get: 672G
Talk to him again and he will give you his phone number. And Ralph will call
again...drop to the left to get the Nugget. Continue hopping down the left
side for a revive, then drop to the right for a battle against...
Hiker Timothy
Level 27 Diglett (468 EXP)
Level 27 Dugtrio (885 EXP)

Camper Quentin
Level 27 Fearow (1041 EXP)
Level 30 Primeape (957 EXP)
Level 30 Tauros (1350 EXP)
You get: 600G
At about this time Eevee will get the move Baton Pass. Use it to replace
Tackle. Drop down the right side to grab the Mystery Berry, then drop down
again and follow the route west to...
|--------|
|Route 46|
|--------|
PoKeMoN found in Route 46:
# 019 Rattata
# 021 Spearow
# 074 Geodude
Upon reaching Route 46 you will notice an entrance to a cave. This is the
Dark Cave you saw WAY back in Route 31. Remember? If you don't remember, you
have a memory problem of some sort. Haha, just kidding. Don't go in here yet,
we'll come back on our second trip. Grab the Berry and PrzCure Berry to the
left of it, then drop down just below the cave. Drop down (instead of left)
again, and...
Hiker Bailey
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
Level 13 Geodude (238 EXP)
You get: 416G
Drop down and you'll find yourself back to where you were at the beginning of
the game. Head down to Route 29.
|--------|
|Route 29|
|--------|
Head east back to New Bark Town. You'll kill these poor Level 3 PoKeMoN....
|-------------|
|New Bark Town|
|-------------|
Talk to Professor Elm in his lab and he'll give you a Master Ball. WOW! Is
that really a Master Ball? OF COURSE! Since you have gotten eight Badges, you
can now enter the PoKeMoN League. Yay! Now go into your own house and if you
talk to your mom, you can withdraw money (which is a whole fifth of what
you've gotten over time). Visit your room if you like, but for the most part,
bike through Route 29 to Cherrygrove City, heal, and withdraw your Togepi,
Pidgey and Sudowoodo. Since you have to deposit three PoKeMoN, put in
Gyarados, Raticate, and Typhlosion. You'll want a PoKeMoN with both Flash and
Rock Smash...Sudowoodo has Rock Smash. And Kenji calls again. Teach Togepi
HM05 Flash. And you need Surf here, so Wooper...this is going to be the most
shorthanded team you have...with Eevee as your primary PoKeMoN. Deposit all
the items you don't need in Pocket 1.
Now, fly back to Blackthorn City and head back south onto Route 45.
|---------|
|Dark Cave|
|---------|
Items found in the Dark Cave:
Blackglasses
Full Heal
Hyper Potion
Revive
TM 13
Okay, instead of going on any path, enter the Dark Cave to the left before
there are even any jumps. Use Flash with Togepi. Follow the route down to the
sea, then surf down, then go up. GO left and down the steps, then head left
and up to the guy with Blackglasses. Dark-type moves are increased in power
with it. Jump all the way south and then head out the door to another part of
the cave. Surf down, then rock smash the rock next to you. Grab the potion
you see, then head out the door onto Route 31. Now, fly back to Cherrygrove
City, heal, and get a team of (in this order):
Level 15 Dratini
Level 5 Togepi
Level 10 Wooper
Level 36 Eevee
Level 36 Raticate
Level 36 Typhlosion
Deposit Sudowoodo and Pidgey, then withdraw Typhlosion and Raticate. You'll
use Dratini for the initial move, then switch to Eevee for the shared
experience so Dratini can grow quickly. Bike back to New Bark and let's move
on after you visit Elm again. Show Togepi to Elm and he will give you an
Everstone. Head to the east of the town, then surf eastward onto...
|--------|
|Route 27|

PoKeMoN found in Route 27:
# 020 Raticate
# 024 Arbok
# 028 Sandslash
# 077 Ponyta
# 084 Doduo
# 085 Dodrio
# 195 Quagsire
If you've finished building up your PoKeMoN and done everything else you want
to do, now is the time to head to the Elite Four. Prepare the team you are
going to use, but be sure to bring along Wooper with those two HMs...right?
Now surf eastward from New Bark Town. When you head for land the first guy
you see will tell you that you've entered Kanto. If you check the map on your
Pokegear you will see that land looks very familiar, if you've played Blue,
Red, or Yellow. Go to PoKeGear to do so. The sign nearby says that you've
reached Tohjo Falls. This will connect you to the rest of Kanto, but before
heading into the cave Surf in the water right below the cave entrance and you
will find a Rare Candy. Head back and then enter the cave and into Tohjo
Falls...
|-----------|
|Tohjo Falls|
|-----------|
You'll notice a Waterfall. Teach the last HM, HM07 Waterfall, to Dratini.
Have it replace Wrap, then head up the waterfall with Dratini. Head along the
sea route and down the other waterfall. And that's the falls...head out the
door you see back to Route 27.

If you were to talk to her again you could switch numbers, but it's probably
out of room. Keep heading up, and you will eventually find yourself in the
checking station to the Elite Four. The guard will check your badges and if
you have all eight will let you pass, head in the door and into Victory Road.
You can also pick up an Max Elixer if you take the jumps back to heal.
|------------|
|Victory Road|
|------------|
Items found in Victory Road:
Full Heal
Full Restore
Max Revive
TM 26
X Special
Victory Road is nothing like it used to be. This eastern half of Victory Road
is now much easier with no puzzles to solve or any trainers to stand in your
way. Head up the stairway and up the cliff, then head down left. Now go up
and up the ladder. Go right up the cliff, then head down and move left.
You'll find an HP Up. Then head right and then up along that path, then up
another ladder. Head up the cliff on Floor 3, then go all the way around to
the ladder down. Grab the Full Restore, and jump down. and head left back up
the ladder. This time...go on the right path. You'll spot a door that seems
to be out of the cave. Save here. Before exiting the cave your Rival will
appear and challenge you to a rematch before facing the Elite Four. His
PoKeMoN still suck, and you should be able to easily defeat him with only
three of your PoKeMoN...use Raticate the all-powerful one to lead the power
but have Eevee start out.
Rival
Level 34 Sneasel (961 EXP)
Level 36 Golbat (1318 EXP)
Level 34 Magneton (1173 EXP)
Level 38 Feraligatr (1710 EXP)
Level 35 Haunter (945 EXP)
Level 35 Kadabra (1087 EXP)
You get: 2280G
Strategy VERSUS Sneasel: Use Eevee and his quick attacks to finish it off.
Strategy VERSUS Golbat: Switch to Raticate for this battle. Finish it with
two hyper fangs and a quick attack.
Strategy VERSUS Magneton: Typhlosion's fire wheel is very effective, so
switch to Typhlosion. One attack should do.
Strategy VERSUS Feraligatr: Use Raticate again and have it deal two hyper
fangs. Then, after Raticate falls, have Typhlosion attack it with two flame
wheels to finish it.
Strategy VERSUS Haunter: Now things will get easier. Use two Flame Wheels to
finish Haunter off.
Strategy VERSUS Kadabra: Two Flame Wheels will finish your rival off.
W00t! You won with your shorthanded team! Your rival finally understands he
sucks and all, but he hasn't given up hope. He retreats, so now you can
advance. Get out of Victory Road to the north, and you'll be on...
|--------|
|Route 23|
|--------|
Well, there's really nothing on this route. Just head up into...
|--------------|
|Indigo Plateau|
|--------------|
Before you do anything, enter the large building of Indigo Plateau and then
heal. This will put you on the map for flying with Pidgey. Head to the right
for the PoKeMart section of the building, then buy ten hyper potions, ten
revives, and ten full heals. That will take care of most things.
12 hours into the game...your lineup should now be:
Level 22 Dratini
Level 35 Sudowoodo
Level 37 Eevee
Level 37 Raticate
Level 37 Gyarados
Level 39 Typhlosion
As you are clearly not ready to battle the Elite Four yet, you're going to
need to train in Victory Road, primarily your Dratini. All PoKeMoN must be at
least Level 40 before you even try to battle, because the Elite Four's five
trainers will have PoKeMoN levelled from 40 all the way up to 50. You might
even want to visit Goldenrod City to get your Eevee happy, because you're
quickly going to need that Espeon for battle, but you won't be able to fly
there yet unless you go through the routes back to Johto. Head back into
Victory Road...
|------------|
|Victory Road|
|------------|
Head left and fall down the hole. You will land next to an item. Take it, for
it is TM26, Earthquake. Drop down, then go down the ladder. Head up the cliff
area and then head east and down the right side. Grab the Full Heal and Max
Revive, then head back up the cliff and use the escape route back to the
entrance. Heal whenever you need to, but keep training your PoKeMoN, and
don't stray too far from the entrance or you might get lost. For Sudowoodo,
Faint Attack should replace Flail. Teach HM03 Surf to both Dratini and
Gyarados, as it's one of the best water moves in the game. For Gyarados, have
it replace Thrash, but for Dratini, have it replace Extremespeed. Now, you
have water moves on two of your PoKeMoN.
At this point, you'll also want to evolve Eevee before he hits Level 47
through happiness, so you can head to Goldenrod for the happiness boost, plus
give him 2 HP Up, Calcium, 2 Protein, and 2 Rare Candies. Also let him take
every battle (make sure he doesn't faint) after Dratini gets some ups. A good
place to train in Johto is just below Blackthorn, with Routes 46 and 47.
Evolve Dratini to Dragonair, too.
If you want to head back to Kanto, you can talk to the old man with the Abra
next to the PoKeMoN Center portion of Indigo Plateau's HQ and Abra will
teleport you back. Do not learn Agility on Dragonair...hydro pump on Gyarados
should replace Dragon Rage because Twister will turn deadlier later on. You
can also ride around the path you went from the beginning of the game all the
way to the Bug-Catching Contest...join that if you want. Keep moving around
Johto with Eevee as your 1st PoKeMoN on the list, because this helps
happiness, and even fight a few trainers you may have missed or want
rematches with. Buy TMs 41, 48, and 33. Teach Thunder Punch to Typhlosion,
replacing Ember. Teach Fire Punch to Sudowoodo, replacing Faint Attack. Also,
talking to Mr. PoKeMoN will give you EXP share after you trade the Red Scale
to him. Also visit Mt. Mortar in this time. You'll be able to get Ether, and
you'll fight a few trainers such as...
PoKeManiac Miller
Level 17 Nidoking (709 EXP)
Level 17 Nidoqueen (706 EXP)
You get: 1020G
Head up in Mt. Mortar...this is a strange place. You'll also get a revive...
Anyway, when you're ready to take on the Elite Four for the most part, head
back to Kanto. Just be prepared to make a major sacrifice to get Eevee to
evolve to Espeon...it takes forever to gain happiness and you can only gain
it by levelling up, walking around a LOT, AND adding happiness through the
Goldenrod salon guy. Also, when you get enough berries (seven), fly to
Olivine and then head north to the Moo Moo Farm. Head to the Miltank in the
leftmost house and then give it the seven berries necessary for it to heal.
After you heal it, head to the woman in the adjacent house and she will give
you TM13 for your troubles. TM13 is Snore. You can go to the man in the same
house and buy a few Moomoo Milks. They're actually better than the hyper
potions because you don't need to heal so much HP so it's cheaper.
Heading east would get you a fight against...
Bird Keeper Toby
Level 15 Doduo (307 EXP)
Level 16 Doduo (326 EXP)
Level 17 Doduo (347 EXP)
You get: 408G
Run around till you feel like Eevee is ready to evolve. After hard work and
dedication, perhaps putting in three hours, Eevee will evolve into Espeon!
Train it to Level 47 so it can have Psychic to replace Sand-Attack.
Your lineup to the Elite Four should be:
Level 38 Raticate
Level 40 Sudowoodo
Level 40 Gyarados
Level 40 Typhlosion
Level 41 Dragonair
Level 47 Espeon
Warning: This is an even lower team than the one I brought in the Japanese
version of PoKeMoN Crystal...
Now is the time that you face the Elite Four. Will you be the PoKeMoN Master
of the Johto League? Hopefully you have the six PoKeMoN I advised to have for
this battle, and have them all around Level 40 or higher. Like the previous
games you will have to face each trainer one by one with no stops to heal at
the PoKe Center so bring in any healing and reviving items, in case one of
your PoKeMoN gets KO'd by one of the Elite Four. The Elite Four may be tough,
but with the right PoKeMoN will go down in no time, and you will be crowned
the new PoKeMoN Champion.
Elite Four Will
Level 40 Xatu (1465 EXP)
Level 41 Jynx (1203 EXP)
Level 41 Slowbro (1440 EXP)
Level 42 Xatu (1593 EXP)
Level 41 Exeggutor (1861 EXP)
You get: 4200G
Strategy VERSUS 1st Xatu: Two hyper fangs from Raticate will knock it out.
Raticate will be hurt.
Strategy VERSUS Jynx: One flame wheel from Typhlosion will send Jynx
panicking. Finish it off with a Quick Attack. Typhlosion will be hurt.
Strategy VERSUS Slowbro: Use Typhlosion's new thunder punch to send Slowbro
flying. Use 2-3 of them. Thank Slowbro for using Amnesia first turn!
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Xatu: This time, switch to Gyarados. Use 2-3 Surfs to
wipe it out.
Strategy VERSUS Exeggutor: A flame wheel from Typhlosion will send Exeggutor
flying. Finish it off with a Quick Attack.
Switch to Typhlosion as your first PoKeMoN, then...
Elite Four Koga
Level 40 Ariados (1147 EXP)
Level 43 Forretress (1086 EXP)
Level 41 Venomoth (1212 EXP)
Level 42 Muk (1413 EXP)
Level 44 Crobat (1923 EXP)
You get: 4400G
Strategy VERSUS Ariados - One flame wheel from Typhlosion will burn this
bug/poison PoKeMoN all the way.
Strategy VERSUS Forretress - Fire burns steel. Amen.
Strategy VERSUS Venomoth - Use a flame wheel, then add a quick attack on
Typhlosion. Easy.
Strategy VERSUS Muk - Switch to Espeon and unleash that psychic! One of them
will take out Muk.
Strategy VERSUS Crobat - A psychic from Espeon will send this bat down.
Switch to Espeon as your first PoKeMoN.
Elite Four Bruno
Level 42 Hitmontop (1242 EXP)
Level 42 Hitmonchan (1260 EXP)
Level 42 Hitmonlee (1242 EXP)
Level 43 Onix (994 EXP)
Level 46 Machamp (1902 EXP)
You get: 4600G
Strategy VERSUS Hitmontop: With Espeon leading the way, a psychic will bring
this baby down.
Strategy VERSUS Hitmonchan: Hitmonchan is going to be a nightmare to fight
because of the elemental punches. Luckily for you, Espeon has NO weakness to
Hitmonchan and has psychic. One psychic downs it.
Strategy VERSUS Hitmonlee: One psychic from Espeon makes it collapse.
Strategy VERSUS Onix: Dragonair's surf will devastate it in one turn.
Strategy VERSUS Machamp: Machamp is experienced with the fighting moves but
luckily you have Espeon again...haha. One psychic downs it.
Switch to Raticate as the starter, then head to face...
Elite Four Karen
Level 42 Umbreon (1773 EXP)
Level 42 Vileplume (1656 EXP)
Level 45 Gengar (1831 EXP)
Level 44 Murkrow (1008 EXP)
Level 47 Houndoom (2053 EXP)
You get: 4700G
Strategy VERSUS Umbreon: Have Raticate lead the way for this battle with
three hyper fangs, then after Raticate falls, switch to Typhlosion. Two flame
wheels should do it.
Strategy VERSUS Vileplume: Two flame wheels from Typhlosion will annihilate
it.
Strategy VERSUS Gengar: Switch to Espeon and have Psychic destroy Gengar in
one move.
Strategy VERSUS Murkrow: Two flame wheels from Typhlosion should destroy it.
Strategy VERSUS Houndoom: Use Sudowoodo and thrash it with two rock slides.
That'll knock it out.
Now that you've got your team thrashed by the Elite Four, heal up EVERYONE
all the way. The final challenge for PoKeMoN League champion begins...who is
stronger? Start with Dragonair.
Champion Lance
Level 44 Gyarados (2017 EXP)
Level 47 Dragonite (2194 EXP)
Level 47 Dragonite (2194 EXP)
Level 46 Aerodactyl
Level 46 Charizard
Level 50 Dragonite
You get: 5000GH
Strategy VERSUS Gyarados: Electric moves will down it, along with Rock and
Dragon moves. You will not want to open this battle with a Typhlosion or
Sudowoodo for obvious reasons...they're not fast enough anyway. This leaves
Espeon, Raticate, and Dragonair. Start with Dragonair and "stun" it with
Thunder Wave, then hit Dragon Rages one by one. Four of them will do justice
to Gyarados.
Strategy VERSUS 1st Dragonite: Ice, Electric, and Rock moves are beneficial
here, but face it, three Dragonites are gonna blow you away. Switch to Espeon
to unleash Psychic moves. Two will take it out.
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Dragonite: Hit another psychic with Espeon (two if you
can, but you might be out), then use take downs. Use two to take it out!
Strategy VERSUS Aerodactyl: Water is your best bet, but you could also use
Grass, Electric, and Rock moves. Switch to Sudowoodo, then use two rock
slides to wipe it out.
Strategy VERSUS Charizard: Charizard's weaknesses as a Fire/Flying type are
Water, Electric, and Rock, especially Water and Rock. Keep Sudowoodo on the
floor to attack with more rock slides. One of them should down it.
Strategy VERSUS 3rd Dragonite: Keep Sudowoodo on the field while you
unparalyze that Espeon, then bring it to the field. Use a take down, then
he'll fall. Switch to Typhlosion, then use Thunder Punch three times before
he drops. Next up, you have Gyarados and Raticate left. Send out Raticate.
Revive Typhlosion after you unleash a Hyper Fang. Raticate will fall...use
Typhlosion and continue those Thunder Punches. There isn't much you can do
because Dragonite got a max potion... Revive Espeon when Gyarados gets out,
then heal it all the way, and revive Typhlosion. Switch to Espeon and use a
take down. You will finally down the Dragonite!
Congratulations! You have defeated the Elite Four! Lance doesn't seem angry
that he lost but rather, happy that you were the one to become the new champ.
He congratulates you.
After defeating the Johto League Elite Four members, you've beaten the first
half of the game. A very impatient news reporter (Mary) comes, and expects
you to "do" an interview with you. Finally, Lance will become impatient and
take you into the next room to be inducted into the hall of fame while the
news reporter lady paces back and forth saying "What about my interview!"
Professor Oak arrives with her...
Anyway, Lance leads you to enter everyone into the Hall of Fame, and comments
on your greatness and love for all PoKeMoN. Here, your Level 41 Dragonair,
Level 41 Sudowoodo, Level 40 Gyarados, Level 49 Espeon, Level 38 Raticate,
and Level 42 Typhlosion are entered, as well as yourself. In 17:27, you have
won!
The credits will roll, while playing some snappy music, and finally the game
will say "The End". Don't turn your Gameboy off yet, the game isn't over...
There is no more fighting your rival at the end of the game....well at least
yet. The game isn't over yet!
After the credits finish rolling, you will arrive back in New Bark Town. Go
into Prof. Elm's lab because he wants to show you something...he'll even call
you to get your attention. He will give you a S.S. Ticket! Head west to
Cherrygrove, then take that ticket to Olivine City with your Pidgey, because
this will let you go to the lands of Kanto!
Go south, until you reach a house that takes you down to a docking bay. Here
you can get on the boat!
After achieving all eight badges, and defeating the Johto League, you will be
able to go to the Old World (Kanto), that was once only able to go to in the
previous versions of the PoKeMoN games. Fly back to Olivine City. You will be
able to board the S.S. Aqua, and fight PoKeMoN trainers while waiting. Make
sure you are healed before you go here, for there is no PoKeMoN treatment
center on the boat. Head southeast from the PoKeMoN Center in Olivine to head
onto the S.S. Aqua's dock. Head up the few stairs, then you will come out
onto the true part of the dock, then the guy there will let you on the Fast
Ship S.S. Aqua, then they'll force you onto the ship.
Your lineup to bring to Kanto should be:
Level 38 Raticate
Level 40 Gyarados
Level 41 Sudowoodo
Level 41 Dragonair
Level 42 Typhlosion
Level 49 Espeon
Eventually, you will arrive at Vermillion City. A lot of the music has been
remixed to almost sound like the old games.
Here, you can fight Lt. Surge, Misty, Erika, Sabrina, A new trainer at Koga's
gym, Brock, Gary and even Ash Ketchum himself! You can go back on the S.S.
Aqua anytime you want, but you may not know how to get off of the boat. You
can go to sleep in the bed at your room and when you wake up, you'll be able
to leave the S.S. Aqua. Welcome back to Kanto!

|Saint Aqua|

Welcome to the second half of the game, the journeys of Kanto! The ship will
begin sailing to Kanto and right when you head down, a sailor will bump into
you. You'll learn from that man that his daughter is missing. Head left into
the room you see, then you'll fight...
Hiker Noland
Level 31 Sandslash (1081 EXP)
Level 33 Golem (1242 EXP)
You get: 1056G
The room two to the left of Noland's room is yours, and there's no other
rooms in the top portion (the four you see right away) that have trainers,
so...head around the left side and to the room just below yours. Fight!

sailor in front of it. Head two rooms to the right and go up to...
PoKeFan Colin
Level 32 Delibird (1254 EXP)
You get: ???G
By now Raticate should be getting Super Fang. Have it replace Scary Face. Oh

You get: 620G
Head to the room to the right and you'll speak to the old man again. Go
downstairs (next to his room) and you'll be blocked. Talk to that guy. The
stairway downstairs is blocked for the moment, so go up to the room to the
right of yours to battle that Sailor...
Sailor Stanly
Level 31 Machop (583 EXP)
Level 33 Machoke (1032 EXP)
Level 26 Psyduck (445 EXP)
You get: 1040G
Now that you've defeated him and he's gone back to his post, go back
downstairs. Talk to the same guy that blocked you and he will let you pass.
He also mentions that he let a little girl pass by there. Head left then down
to face...

idea where you are. Hehe...head up and left and talk to the girl. She'll
battle you.
Picnicker Debra
Level 33 Seaking (1201 EXP)
Head down from Debra and up the stairs. Then go through the door and talk to
the girl. She'll find out that her grandpa is worried about her, and then
you'll fast-forward to you getting the Metal Cort by the thankful, old man
for finding her. Now, the ship will arrive in Kanto with the message. Go back
up and talk to the guy blocking the door. Now head off the ship into...
|---------------|
|Vermillion City|
|---------------|
Now that you get off the S.S. Aqua, and you find yourself at Vermillion City!
Go down the stairs, then up the stairs and out the door. You'll see your
first glimpse of the Vermillion City three years later. Follow the route
north and you're out of the Vermillion Port. Head west and you'll find the
PoKeMoN Center...heal, deposit Espeon, and grab Bellsprout. Anyway, head down
to the gym and cut down the tree blocking the gym. Feel free to look around a
little bit. You see the gym looks pretty much the same and other features
from Red/Blue/Yellow are still here. Let's hit the gym first. Use your Elite
Four lineup except for no Espeon.
Anyway, there's a power outage or something, because his usual puzzle from
RBY is gone...there's just three apprentices awaiting you. Activate Sudowoodo
as your primary PoKeMoN, then let the fun begin. Go up to...
Guitarist Vincent
Level 27 Magnemite (??? EXP)
Level 33 Voltorb (727 EXP)
Level 32 Magnemite (609 EXP)
Level 32 Magnemite (609 EXP)

come back in and talk to Lt. Surge. Now it is time to go and face Lt. Surge.
18 hours into the game, let's take the battle in our own hands. Have
Sudowoodo first. He's gonna zap you like he did in war against his enemies as
the #1 electric master. Oh no! :P

Strategy VERSUS Magneton: Switch to Typhlosion for fiery power. A single
flame wheel will destroy it because it's half-steel.
Strategy VERSUS Electrabuzz: Four flame wheels from Typhlosion should seal it.
Strategy VERSUS 1st Electrode: Let Gyarados take this battle because
Electrode might explode...do dragon rages.
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Electrode: Use two flame wheels from Typhlosion to
destroy it.
Well, that was uber-easy. Oh well...that's NINE badges, with ONE in Kanto!
Yay! Thunder Badge increases PoKeMoN speed. Head up from the gym and you'll
find the PoKeMoN Club still there. Talk to the chairman at the very top and
he'll ask if you want to hear about his PoKeMoN. Do so and he'll rant on.
Eventually, he'll give you a Rare Candy for listening to him. Now, head to
the left of the PoKeMoN Center to talk to the fisherman, the Fishing Dude,
then heal. You'll want to head north now, onto...

be the first PoKeMoN here, then move up. Grab the Focus Band from behind the
guy you see, then head right into Saffron's official gym to the right and

then go right, right, up, and right.

in Cerulean that may have done it and he asks for your cooperation. Now,

you're a pest now, but she says she will take you on after she sees all your
Johto badges. Before you head back though, enter Bill's house and talk to his
grandfather. If you show him certain PoKeMoN like Growlithe, Lickitung,

|------------|
|Saffron City|
|------------|
Re-enter the Mimic Girl's house and up to her room/floor. Talk to her and
give it back, and she'll give you a Magnet Train Pass! It's for unlimited use
on the Magnet Train that is at the northwest corner of the city, to the left
of that route-changing house. Now fly back to Cerulean, head east on Routes 9
and 10, heal at the Center, deposit Raticate and withdraw Togepi for flash.
Then, enter...
|-----------|
|Rock Tunnel|
|-----------|
Head along the path to the right and go down the ladder. Then head left. Keep
heading left at the intersection to get an Iron, then head back and up the
curvy path. It's really too bad there's no challenge in here...yet. Head up
the ladder, then head down and right. Head down that ladder. Head up from
there to grab the revive, then come back down and go west. Head up the ladder
at the leftmost part of that section of the "tunnel". Move down and left.

middle of that floor) and he will thank you for saving the Power Plant.
You'll get the Expansion Card for the PokeGear Radio and you can now tune in
to Kanto channels. You'll also get to use the PokeFlute through that. Heal in

|-------|
We're heading west now, west towards Celadon City. There are no trainers on
this route so just run through and into...
|------------|
|Celadon City|
|------------|
You can play slots here, and the big PoKeMart is also still here. Anyway,
okay, go behind the PoKeMoN Center. Eventually you'll find that there's a
door entrance in the back of this one building, in where you got Eevee in
RBY. That's the Celadon Mansion. Head up three stairs, then go into the room.
Talk to the guy and he will tell you a so-called scary story. Anyway, at the
end, he'll give you TM03 Curse. Hehe. Now head back down the few stairs and
out the door.
Next up, let's hit the Celadon City Restaurant. This is located at the south-
central portion of the city. Go in and get Leftovers from the trash can
inside. Leftovers heals your PoKeMoN at a nice rate each turn. Now go out,
and head right, then up into a dead end. Press A and you'll get a PP Up! Yay!
Now, head down southwest and cut the bush that blocks your way. Head west and
you should arrive at Erika's gym, the place it was in the previous games. The
apprentices in there are going to act a bit strange depending on whether you
are a guy or girl (and even so, you'll still be looked at weirdly)... Now
switch to Typhlosion as your primary PoKeMoN for obvious reasons...head right
up and you'll face...

Anyway, it's time to beat Erika. This should be an easy battle for

---
Strategy VERSUS Tangela: One flame wheel from Typhlosion will down it.
Strategy VERSUS Victreebel: Typhlosion's ONE flame wheel will fall it.
Strategy VERSUS Bellossom: One flame wheel from Typhlosion ACTUALLY won't cut
it here. Luckily, it's not enough for it to do anything back, so finish it
with swift.
Strategy VERSUS Jumpluff: Yes, as much as it looks like a water type, it's a
grass type. Destroy it with one flame wheel.
Erika congratulates you and gives you your 12th badge. Yay! Just three hours
in Johto...Giga Drain would be a very deadly move if it didn't only have 5PP.
Oh well. Anyway, after easily beating Erika, you now must take the Cycling
Road towards Fuschia now...yes, even though you've visited, you could use the
experience...heal if you must (you shouldn't need to), then head west across
the route-changing house onto...
|--------|
|Route 16|
|--------|
There are no trainers on this route, but there are PoKeMoN if you want to
catch them...you'll need Cut though. Ride your bike for safety reasons, and
head south onto...
|--------|
|Route 17|
|--------|
This is going to be one downhill ride...so, hold on tight! You could still go
back uphill but it'd take quite some effort on your part. Roll down to
fight...
Biker Riley
Level 34 Weezing (1260 EXP)
You get: 1088G
Everyone knows you're from Johto, meh? Head down the left route and fight...
Biker Glenn
Level 28 Koffing (684 EXP)
Level 30 Magmar (1072 EXP)
Level 32 Weezing (1185 EXP)
You get: 1024G
Roll down, then when you see a bridge across the river to the right, cross it
and fight...
Biker Joel
Level 32 Magmar (1144 EXP)
Level 32 Magmar (1144 EXP)
You get: 1024G
Now, keep rolling down until you run into...
Biker Charles
Level 30 Koffing (732 EXP)
Level 30 Weezing (1111 EXP)
Level 30 Charmeleon (912 EXP)
You get: 960G
Roll down to the end of Cycling Road, then head east onto...
|--------|
|Route 18|
|--------|
Head east right away to face...hey! That's a guy with my name! Almost!
Somewhat! Rock slide will destroy Bob...
Bird Keeper Bob
Level 34 Noctowl (1179 EXP)
You get: 816G
He tells you that the shortcut to Celadon is the uphill Cycling Road. Meh.
Now head down into the grass to fight the last trainer on the road in this
eastern section of Kanto...
Bird Keeper Boris
Level 30 Doduo (616 EXP)
Level 32 Dodrio (1083 EXP)
Level 28 Doduo (576 EXP)
You get: 768G
Now head east into Fuchsia City!
|------------|
|Fuchsia City|
|------------|
Wow, this city must have the strangest spelling...well, anyway, you'll want
to heal, and then enter the gym. Withdraw Espeon and deposit Gyarados for
this fight. A mere fifteen minutes after you snatched the 12th badge, you're
ready for the 13th, right? Head in and you'll find that everyone looks the
same, imitating Janine. Janine's located in the middle-left side of the gym,
but we're fighting everyone, and the walls are apparent and easy to see. Head
up and talk to the first trainer...remember to have Espeon as first PoKeMoN.
He's gonna dominate this gym with psychic.
Lass Linda
Level 30 Bulbasaur (411 EXP)
Level 34 Venusaur (1515 EXP)
Level 32 Ivysaur (966 EXP)
You get: 816G
Now head to the gym entrance (but don't exit the gym) and head to the far
right and up. Then, fight that trainer. Ignore the fact that she says she's
Janine, she isn't.
Picnicker Cindy
Level 36 Nidoqueen (1495 EXP)
You get: 720G
Head up then left, then talk to that trainer! It should be obvious by now
that the real Janine wouldn't be spinning around. :P
Camper Barry
Level 36 Nidoking (1503 EXP)
You get: 720G
Now head down and face the next trainer, the fourth one!
Lass Alice
Level 30 Gloom (847 EXP)
Level 34 Arbok (1071 EXP)
Level 30 Gloom (847 EXP)
You get: 720G
At this point, you'll see Janine. Do not fight her yet. Espeon will be nearly
out of PP for Psychic now, so go back and heal, then come back and start the
battle...half an hour after defeating Erika, it's Janine now. She's Koga's
daughter, and has taken over for Dad after he joined the Elite Four.
Nethertheless, she fights like him but has weaker PoKeMoN...psychic with
Espeon will dominate this one. She tries to trick you but of course she was
just kidding...let the battle begin! Espeon versus Janine's entire lineup!

GYM LEADER JANINE
Level 36 Crobat (1573 EXP)
Level 33 Ariados (946 EXP)
Level 39 Venomoth (1152 EXP)
Level 36 Weezing (1333 EXP)
Level 36 Weezing (1333 EXP)
You get: Soul Badge, 3,900G, TM06 (Toxic)
---
Strategy VERSUS Crobat: Unleash psychic from Espeon. One will help Crobat
drop out of the sky.
Strategy VERSUS Ariados: One psychic from Espeon downs it.
Strategy VERSUS Venomoth: One psychic from Espeon downs this bug.
Strategy VERSUS 1st Weezing: One psychic kicks this down.
Strategy VERSUS 2nd Weezing: Finally, another psychic finishes off Janine.
Thirteen gyms down, three to go. You have defeated Janine and the entire
Eastern Kanto region has been completed in 21:27. Congrats. She'll even give
you TM06 Toxic, which is a posion that zaps enemy HP. She hopes to become
better than Koga and you. Anyway, head south onto Route 19...
|--------|
|Route 19|
|--------|
You'll find your way blocked. What happened? Well, boulders have washed
ashore in a recent event. I'll tell you more about it later, it's a spoiler
kinda. Now fly back to Vermillion City.
|---------------|
|Vermillion City|
|---------------|
Using your upgraded radio, go east to Diglett's Cave. Keep around those four
Ultra Balls from before, you'll need them. When you're up to the Snorlax,
save (wow, I haven't said that for ages), and you'll find out that Snorlax is
sleeping. Wake it up by going into your PoKeGear option and going to your
radio. Turn the radio up to 20, the maximum frequency, then exit the PoKeGear
menu. Then press A and talk to Snorlax. That maximum frequency is the
PoKeFlute, so the Snorlax will wake up in an angry mood. Catch Snorlax since
it's strong, but it'll seem weak to your team since your lineup owns...head
into battle with Dragonair, Espeon and the powers of Psychicness.
Snorlax is a great PoKeMoN to catch if you have a weak lineup or have not
followed my advice for a team. It heals itself after every move it does, and
when it rests, it will do a very harmful attack. It also still has headbutt
and learns Hyper Beam at Level 47. However, the fact that it slightly heals
itself after every attack with Leftovers makes the PoKeMoN very difficult to
catch. Use Ultra Balls...save the Master Ball for Ho-oh!
Anyway, Espeon is your best bet in capturing it, but start with Dragonair's
Thunder Wave. Rollouts may hit you, but regardless, switch to Espeon
immediately. Unleash two psychics that will really weaken Snorlax, and then
use a take down. Now, start throwing ultra balls at him when he's low on
HP...if he isn't, weaken him with bite or quick attack (or similar attacks
with other PoKeMoN). Remember to rapid-tap A when you're trying to catch
it...you'll get it eventually with those Ultra balls.
After the battle with Snorlax, the route is cleared. Enter the cave entrance
that was blocked by it. This is...
|--------------|
|Diglett's Cave|
|--------------|
There are no trainers in here, but you can capture both Diglett and Dugtrio
here if you'd like. Head down the ladder, then ride your bike up and then up
that ladder. Exit the door to the south onto...
|-------|
|Route 2|
|-------|
Well, welcome to the Western Kanto region...though I considered everything
from Snorlax up to now already part of it. Head up and right to grab the
Carbos. Then, go down to the house and talk to the guy inside for a Nugget
for being a visitor. Cut the tree to the south and shift past the route-
changing house. You'll still be in Route 2. Keep heading down and you'll get
an Elixer. Then, cut the tree just left of it and head north to face...
Bug Catcher Rob
Level 32 Beedrill (1089 EXP)
Level 32 Butterfree (1096 EXP)
You get: 512G
Move up to...
Bug Catcher Doug
Level 34 Ariados (975 EXP)
You get: 544G
Should Sudowoodo hit Level 46 at this point, have Slam replace nothing (don't
learn it). Continue moving up and you can get Dire Hit, a PSNCure Berry, and
even a Max Potion. Head up past the maze to face...
Bug Catcher Ed
Level 30 Beedrill (1021 EXP)
Level 30 Beedrill (1021 EXP)
Level 30 Beedrill (1021 EXP)
You get: 480G
Head up into...
|-----------|
|Pewter City|
|-----------|
Welcome to Pewter City! You're going to want to heal first, so do so, and
deposit some items at the same time.
The lineup (from Elite 4) that you would have at this point is:
Level 45 Raticate
Level 46 Sudowoodo
Level 46 Dragonair
Level 47 Gyarados
Level 48 Typhlosion
Level 51 Espeon
Use Gyarados as your starter...deposit a PoKeMoN if necessary, but have
Espeon around. Then, head north into the Pewter City Gym and your chance for
a 14th badge. Head up to face Brock's ONE apprentice...
Camper Jerry
Level 37 Sandslash (1291 EXP)
You get: 740G
Well, that was easy. Brock will be...a little tougher. Let's get it on...talk
to him. 21:45 into the game, we're ready. Even he notices you're from Johto
and he notes rock types have a lot of defense...but not against water types!
---
GYM LEADER BROCK
Level 41 Graveler (1176 EXP)
Level 42 Omastar (1791 EXP)
Level 41 Rhyhorn (1185 EXP)
Level 44 Onix (1017 EXP)
Level 42 Kabutops (1809 EXP)
You get: Boulder Badge, 4,200G
---
Strategy VERSUS Graveler: One Surf from Gyarados will drop it.
Strategy VERSUS Omastar: Switch to Espeon. One psychic will defeat it. If
Espeon hits Level 52 at this point, let Morning Sun replace Quick Attack.
Strategy VERSUS Rhyhorn: Switch back to Gyarados, and then Surf once.
Strategy VERSUS Onix: Surf once.
Strategy VERSUS Kabutops: Switch back to Espeon, and unleash ONE psychic.
And that's over. Three gyms you've fought and literally aced...only Erika
even managed to get an attack on you. You are then given the Boulder Badge
and some money. The badge makes your PoKeMoN even more powerful...and just
like the other gym leaders, he's a little upset but happy to get to battle
you. Exit the gym, heal, then talk to the man just to the right of the
PoKeMart. He'll give you the Silver or Rainbow Wing.
Now, you have a chance to snatch the other PoKeMoN you missed earlier...Lugia
or Ho-oh. Head back through with the Magnet Train back to Johto, then go to
wherever you need to go.
|---------------------------|
|Olivine City - Gold Version|
|---------------------------|
Surf south of Olivine City to find the Whirl Islands. You'll find four
caves...Whirlpool your way to the northeast cave. Here, you'll be able to
capture a Level 70 Lugia that you'll need desperately against Ash. Use a
Flash from Espeon, then head up and leap the ledge to the right on that bike.
You'll see a Max Revive on the cliff. To get to it and continue on your
jouney, leap down another ledge to the right, go up the steps, grab the Max
Revive, and head down the ladder. Head south, then jump to the left. Keep
jupping down and you'll get an Escape Rope. Woo...go down and then left, then
up the ladder. You can now head out the door to breathe which is pointless,
or surf east. Do so and surf east, then grab an Ultra Ball. Head down the
ladder. Now head up along the path and then head down, and up that cliff.
There's yet another item here. It's a Calcium. Now, on that cliff, head down
to the ladder and climb up it. Now, bike down and out the door. That's most
of the Whirl Islands' items. Now that you've gone from the northeast to the
southeast portion of the Whirl Islands, surf your way out of the reefs and
then Whirlpool out. Head east then north to the trainer you saw earlier...the
one next to that whirlpool.
Kill that whirlpool again and head in again. Use Flash, again. Drop down the
first cliff, but this time, drop down the TOP cliff instead of the bottom
cliff, then head down the ladder. Continue along the path south and head down
that ladder. Grab the Max Revive to the left of you, then surf south. There's
two items on the cliff but you can't reach those...surf down the waterfall,
then head left and through the door. Head in, and surf north to Lugia. Save
at this point, then just use the master ball. It's too tough to catch
otherwise...escape rope to retreat out. Then, ride the Magnet Train back to
Kanto and fly back to Pewter City.
|------------------------------|
|Ecruteak City - Silver Version|
|------------------------------|
Go back to Ecruteak City and then go into the Tin Tower. Just ascend the
stairs till you get to the top. There should be Ho-oh. I suggest that you
save before you fight him because this is the only chance you'll be able to
get him. Just use the master ball on it, as it's the hardest PoKeMoN to
capture in Silver. The Level 70 Ho-oh is now yours. Use escape rope to exit.
Then, ride the Magnet Train back to Kanto and fly back to Pewter City.
|-------|
|Route 3|
|-------|
There'll be four trainers on this route. Take them all on...head east and
start with...
Youngster Warren

Heal and then bring out your Elite 4 All-Star lineup because you're entering
Mount Moon soon. This means no Pidgey or Bellsprout, and no Snorlax. Step
into Mount Moon and let the fireworks begin.
|----------|
|Mount Moon|
|----------|
When you get to Mt. Moon, you will encounter your rival for the first time in
a long time. This may or may not be the final time you battle him, but he has
levelled up his PoKeMoN and finally has six PoKeMoN. Take him out, starting
using Raticate.
Rival
Level 41 Sneasel (1159 EXP)
Level 42 Golbat (1539 EXP)
Level 45 Feraligatr (2025 EXP)
Level 41 Magneton (1414 EXP)
Level 43 Gengar (1750 EXP)
Level 43 Alakazam (1713 EXP)
You get: 4500G
Strategy VERSUS Sneasel: One hyper fang from Raticate should down it.
Strategy VERSUS Golbat: Switch to Sudowoodo and rock slide it to do death in
one shot.
Strategy VERSUS Feraligatr: Use Espeon and psychic. One psychic should bring
it nearly to its knees, so finish it with bite.
Strategy VERSUS Magneton: Switch to Typhlosion and one flame wheel will
destroy it.
Strategy VERSUS Gengar: Switch back to Espeon and deal it the psychic
treatment. One will do.
Strategy VERSUS Alakazam: Switch back to Typhlosion and use two flame wheels
to down it.
Easy as pie. Your rival says more bs about how he'll beat you next time and
be the best PoKeMoN Master ever...head east after him and then up the ladder,
then out the door to the south. Head down into the next part of Mt.
Moon...enter the cave, down the ladder, and then bounce down to the door and
out to...
|-------|
|Route 4|
|-------|
Head right to fight...
Picnicker Hope

Picnicker Sharon
Level 31 Furret (769 EXP)
Level 33 Rapidash (1357 EXP)
You get: 660G
Head east, then up to grab the HP Up. Now, jump and head east to Cerulean,
heal, deposit Espeon, withdraw Pidgey, and let's fly back to Pewter. Head
back south on Route 2 and through Viridian Forest (which you already have
went through) into Viridian City.
|-------------|
|Viridian City|
|-------------|
Talk the old man you first see when you enter the city, and answer YES to his
question. Now go down to the PoKeMoN Center to heal for the Flying, then head
south to Pallet Town through...
|-------|
|Route 1|
|-------|
Playing RBY, you should know this like the back of your hand. Unlike in RBY
there will be two trainers...grab the Bitter Berry then head to fight...
Schoolboy Danny
Level 31 Jynx (909 EXP)
Level 31 Electrabuzz (1035 EXP)
Level 31 Magmar (1108 EXP)
You get: 992G
Head down to face the other trainer.
Cooltrainer Quinn

Level 38 Starmie (1684 EXP)
You get: 1824G
Now head south into Pallet Town!
|-----------|
|Pallet Town|
|-----------|
Talk with Professor Oak in his lab (the biggest building). He notices your
Kanto badges...yay! He tells you that he'll give you a prize if you get all
the badges. Note Red and Blue's houses...I have no idea why they didn't name
them Ash and Gary respectively, but I definitely will. Now, you'll be able to
fly to Pallet too...
Surf south onto...
|--------|
|Route 21|
|--------|
Surf down on Dragonair. There are a few trainers. Don't miss any...
Swimmer Nikki
Level 28 Seel (600 EXP)
Level 28 Seel (600 EXP)
Level 28 Seel (600 EXP)

Level 32 Quagsire (939 EXP)
You get: 256G
Head down from him to...
|---------------|
|Cinnabar Island|
|---------------|
Cinnabar Island seems to have collapsed...the volcano has blown up everything
except the PoKeMoN Center. You'll notice a guy looking at what is left of
it...talk to him. He's Gary and he was the Champion of the PoKeMoN League for
a short time until Ash defeated him. He knows you want a challenge but he's
not in the mood for one yet. He tells you that the volcano had erupted and
that the whole town disappeared. Wow, such...thoughts of natureness. Nature
twitches and all...anyway, you can now fight Gary, but do so later. Then he
teleports out with his Alakazam (hidden from your view).
Enter the PoKeMoN Center. You can talk to both people and you'll learn that
the volcano erupted a year ago (two years after RBY). Well, heal, then surf
east onto...
|--------|
|Route 20|
|--------|
Head a bit east to face...
Swimmer Cameron
Level 34 Marill (421 EXP)
You get: 272G
Head on east to...
|---------------|
|Seafoam Islands|
|---------------|
Since Cinnabar Island's volcano erupted and destroyed Blaine's gym, it's
moved to the Seafoam Islands. You should see a small cave at Seafoam Island.
Go inside and it's Blaine's makeshift, hidden gym. Poor guy...this doesn't
even fit the entire screen. Let Gyarados be the starter here. 4 1/2 hours
into the game, you're now on an isolated island in the middle of
nowhere...talk to him and he'll tell you he's homeless because of the
volcanic eruption and he has no gym. He'll fight you now...with a different
team than in the RBY games.
---
GYM LEADER BLAINE
Level 45 Magcargo (1485 EXP)
Level 45 Magmar (1609 EXP)
Level 50 Rapidash (2056 EXP)
You get: Volcano Badge, 5,000G
---
Strategy VERSUS Magcargo: One surf from Gyarados will destroy it.
Strategy VERSUS Magmar: One surf from Gyarados brings it down, once again.
Strategy VERSUS Rapidash: One surf from Gyarados downs it.
You can talk to the guy that comes in, but it doesn't matter now. Exit the
cave.
|--------|
|Route 20|
|--------|
15 badges for you in 4 1/2 hours! Yay! Now, we'll want to surf down and right
to face the girl in the water...
Swimmer Lori
Level 32 Starmie (1419 EXP)
Level 32 Starmie (1419 EXP)
You get: 640G
Head right, then up, to...
Swimmer Nicole
Level 29 Marill (360 EXP)
Level 29 Marill (360 EXP)
Level 32 Lapras (1501 EXP)
You get: 640G
Head right and up to Route 19!
|--------|
|Route 19|
|--------|
You'll find a drowning guy next to a girl...gee I wonder why? Talk to the guy
for a battle...do not have Dragonair learn Safeguard.
Swimmer Tucker
Level 30 Shellder (622 EXP)
Level 34 Clyoster (1479 EXP)
You get: 272G
Talk to him again. I was right...hehe...now, talk to the girl for a battle.
She's "disgusted by wimpy people". Haha.
Swimmer Dawn
Level 34 Seaking (1237 EXP)
You get: 680G
One more trainer to fight...head up then right a little and you'll fight...
Swimmer Jerome
Level 26 Seadra (862 EXP)
Level 28 Tentacool (630 EXP)
Level 30 Tentacruel (1317 EXP)
Level 28 Goldeen (666 EXP)
You get: 224G
And that's all the trainers! Head up and you'll be ashore south of Fuschia,
but the boulders are in the way...so fly to Viridian City.
|-------------|
|Viridian City|
|-------------|
Heal here, and deposit your Pidgey to withdraw that Espeon, because unlike
every other gym leader (especially in Kanto), Gary's no pushover and he has a
lineup that spans six types rather than one. He is the first trainer to be
stronger than Lance that you will face...it's really too bad Kanto is like
that, meh? Ahhh...now the gym is filled with Legos. How dreadful. Well,
there's only Gary in there, so pull off a team starting with Sudowoodo. He'll
be surprised with the conquest of Johto, but he thinks that's pathetic even
though you're the Johto Champ. Anyway, battle him to prove him wrong...
---
GYM LEADER BLUE a.k.a. Gary Oak
Level 56 Pidgeot (2064 EXP)
Level 54 Alakazam (2151 EXP)
Level 56 Rhydon (2448 EXP)
Level 58 Gyarados (2650 EXP)
Level 58 Exeggutor (2634 EXP)
Level 58 Arcanine (2646 EXP)
You get: Earth Badge, 5,800G
---
Strategy VERSUS Pidgeot: Leading with Sudowoodo, use two rock slides to oust
it.
Strategy VERSUS Alakazam: You've faced two Alakazams by now...you know what
to do. Use Typhlosion and a flame wheel before it falls, then switch to
Espeon's take down. That's done.
Strategy VERSUS Rhydon: Use Dragonair. One surf will down it.
Strategy VERSUS Gyarados: Use Espeon again. 2-3 Psychis will fall it.
Strategy VERSUS Exeggutor: Revive Typhlosion, then send it out. Use two flame
wheels to destroy Exeggutor.
Strategy VERSUS Arcanine: Have Gyarados hit the field for this final matchup.
Use two surfs to destroy it.
With Gary defeated, you now have all 16 badges. Gary is completely surprised
but gives you the badge. He says he'll beat you back one day. Talk to him
again and he says you must not lose until he beats you. Hehe...head out of
the gym and heal. You realize that the game isn't over yet, right? There is
no credits just yet! Five hours into Johto, you've got a few more things to
do before Johto is cleared...
North from the PoKeMoN Center is the One-on-One Trainer House. This is
probably your easiest way of getting experience every day...you can go in
here every day to fight Trainer Cal. Simply go downstairs in that house to do
so...just remember not to start out with Gyarados or Sudowoodo, they'll get
chopped up in no time. Head left after you go downstairs and the lady will
talk to you. Say Yes and you can battle Cal after you go down. He will have
the final evolutions of the three starters.
PoKeMoN Trainer Cal
Level 50 Meganium (2227 EXP)
Level 50 Typhlosion (2238 EXP)
Level 50 Feraligatr (2250 EXP)
You get: 5000G
Strategy VERSUS Meganium: Three hyper fangs from Raticate iwll down it.
Strategy VERSUS Typhlosion: Use Gyarados. Three surfs will do.
Strategy VERSUS Feraligatr: Use Espeon and two psychics!
Now, head out and ride back down to Pallet Town through Route 1.
|-----------|
|Pallet Town|
|-----------|
Again, it's time to enter Professor Oak's lab. Talk to him and he'll be
impressed and make arrangements for you to head to Mount Silver. Only the
best trainers are allowed in because of the ferocity of wild PoKeMoN. Now,
bike back up to Viridian City.
|-------------|
|Viridian City|
|-------------|
You must hate Viridian City now, so it's time to head west after you do some
healing...onto....
|--------|
|Route 22|
|--------|
We're making our journey west now...there are no PoKeMoN trainers on this
route, so just keep heading north, west, then north. Head through that gate
you went through earlier going to Indigo Plateau, but this time, you will be
heading...west instead of north. Do so and enter...
|--------|
|Route 28|
|--------|
Keep heading west, till you reach the region of the...
|-----------|
|Silver Cave|
|-----------|
Welcome, welcome! Keep heading west and up and you'll eventually find a
PoKeMoN Center. Heal if you'd like. Head west and up from there and you'll be
on Mt. Silver. You'll need all your Elite 4 team, because you'll need to have
Surf, Waterfall, and Flash. Deposit Espeon at the PoKeMoN Center and withdraw
Togepi. First trip through, we're getting the items and getting to know the
place. Second time, we'll have a nice challenge...
|------------|
|Mount Silver|
|------------|
OK, the first thing you want to do is to put on Flash from Togepi. You are
now in the mountains that Professor Oak was talking about. The PoKeMoN here
are extremely strong. There is a PoKeMoN Center here also which also allows
you to fly back here at any given time.
When you get in, head right up, then go left and drop down to grab the item.
It's an Escape Rope. Jump back down and go left instead of up. Go up the
steps up the cliff and snag the Protein. Head down the cliff and go back up,
but this time, go right at the intersection. Remember to keep training while
you're doing all this...this is your last and best chance to. Anyway, after
you head a little to the right, go up the steps and up the cliff. Go along
the path, come down, and grab the Ultra Ball. Head on right, then up another
cliff to the north. Continue along the cliff route, and then when there's an
intersection to the left and right, take the left, drop down and get the Max
Elixer. Drop down the ledges all the way back to ground level, then again.
You can access the cliff you were on earlier by going right and up, but
instead, go right and drop down a ledge. In the rock is a Dire Hit. Now go
back all the way to where you were before, at the intersection. When you're
there, head right and down the steps, then go up through that portion of the
mountains into the cave. Then, after you do so, head a bit right and then up
to snatch another Ultra Ball. Head up the steps, then go a bit up and a long
way left. Keep heading along the path. If Gyarados hits Level 50, have it
learn Hyper Beam to replace Twister. Continue heading along, and go through
the cave door up instead of down the steps to the lake. Keep heading up and
you'll find a trainer. Anyway, remember where he is...you'll be back in a
bit. Head back the way you came, all the way out of Mount Silver. Equip HM05
Flash on Espeon, replacing Take Down. Head back out to the PokeMoN Center and
fly to Olivine City.
Your lineup should now be, 23:55 into game:
Level 48 Sudowoodo
Level 48 Dragonair
Level 50 Gyarados
Level 50 Typhlosion
Level 50 Raticate
Level 53 Espeon
|------------|
|Olivine City|
|------------|
Deposit Typhlosion, then get that Wooper back out, as he has Whirlpool...surf
south on Route 40 to Route 41.
|--------|
|Route 41|
|--------|
Head west to fight a few trainers...you went south last time so west will
have new trainers.
Swimmer Charlie
Level 21 Shellder (436 EXP)
Level 19 Tentacool (427 EXP)
Level 19 Tentacruel (834 EXP)
You get: 152G
Head southwest from Charlie, then south to fight...
Swimmer Susie
Level 20 Psyduck (342 EXP)
Level 22 Goldeen (522 EXP)
You get: 440G
Head south to face...
Swimmer Berke
Level 23 Qwilfish (492 EXP)
You get: 184G
Head left past a whirlpool. Head west to Cianwood City, heal, deposit
Raticate, and take back Espeon out. Now head back east to Berke. Talk to him
and he'll talk of a PoKeMoN flying around...the silver winged one. Yay. Head
south from Berke to face...
Swimmer Denise
Level 22 Seel (471 EXP)
You get: 440G
Head to the east of her to face...
Swimmer Kirk
Level 20 Gyarados (916 EXP)
Level 20 Gyarados (916 EXP)
You get: 160G
Well, that last battle gave you as much EXP as one of Gary's PoKeMoN
would...now, fly back to Goldenrod City.
Now, fly to Goldenrod City. Enter the PoKeMart, as we're going to stock up on
a few more supplies...on Floor 2, buy six escape ropes and fifteen repels.
You know you'll need them for later. Head up to the top floor and buy six
lemonades, two soda pops, and two fresh waters. Exit, and fly to Violet City.
Make Pidgey your starter and look for a Bellsprout after biking west to Route
36. If you find one, tackle it once with Pidgey, then use a regular PoKeBall
to capture it. Now, fly back to Silver Cave, then deposit Wooper and withdraw
the Bellsprout. Heal, then make Bellsprout the starter. Get it from Level 5
to Level 15 so it can learn Sleep Powder, by starting it, then switching to
another PoKeMoN for shared experience. Then, head down to the National Park
with Pidgey as a starter to capture a Level 14 Scyther and his False Swipe
ability in the Bug-Catching Contest. Look in the taller grass in the northern
part. Destroy everything that isn't a Scyther with Gust, but when Scyther
comes, use two Gusts, then throw Park Balls at it. After catching it, head
back to the National Park house and you'll probably get a Gold Berry.
Now, fly to Silver Cave again, and this time, deposit Gyarados and withdraw
Scyther. Make Scyther your starter and then EXP it up to Level 18, when it
learns False Swipe. Have that replace Leer.
Heal, then fly to Ecruteak and head east into...
|--------|
|Route 42|
|--------|
Head a little east, then up into Mt. Mortar. This will be your final side-
quest that involves any real battling left (not including capturing)...
|----------|
|Mt. Mortar|
|----------|
Head up, then up the steps onto the cliff, then follow the path up and into
the cave entrance. Then, take the right path when there's an intersection,
then continue right and then head up the steps. You'll see a trainer. Talk to
him and he'll talk about a karate dude that beat him silly. Now, head down
and out the door...continue along the route till you exit the right side. Now
head west, surf across, and then head in that door. This is the middle path
through Mt. Mortar. Head up and down the ladder, down the steps, then head
east to surf northward. Immediately, go up a bit and then snag the PP Up to
the right immediately. Surf up again. Eventually, you'll spot another item.
Land and go up the steps to get the Hyper Potion, then continue to surf
north. Head on up and then grab that Max Ether. Now surf southeast from there
and follow the sea route...continue along till you spot another item on a
cliff. Stop by, and take the Full Restore. After you go all the way around to
the left side's dead end, head left, then surf up that route. Keep going up
to grab a Carbos.
Anyway, head back out of Mt. Mortar for now and fly back to Ecruteak to
deposit all those items off, then come back in. Also deposit Bellsprout, then
withdraw Shuckle for HM04 Strength...then head back in. This time, don't even
go up the steps and up the ladder. Like a step or two from the entrance, go
to the water and surf up. You'll spot a waterfall. Waterfall up it, surf to
the very top, then land to the left and go through the door. Head up, then up
the cliff to face...
Super Nerd Hugh
Level 37 Seadra (??? EXP)
You get: 1248G
Head back down the cliff, then go right. You'll hit a dead end, so surf to
the right. There's two routes. The left one takes you to a dead end but to a
Max Potion. Go all the way back to the entrance of this cave area, then surf
left to a Rare Candy. Go back to the lake where you can land to the left or
to the right and take the right path this time. Surf across that lake, go on
the path all the way to the left, then surf up and land again to the right.
Keep heading right...there's two routes. Take the bottom one to get TM40
first, then go to the top one to continue. Head all the way up and surf up.
Grab the Escape Rope, then continue along the path around the bend to the
left. When you see an item, go around to grab the Dragon Scale, then continue
heading left. Head left all the way up the ladder...phew, that's FINALLY two
floors. Two more to go.
Run/bike down the steps, then head around and grab the free Iron on the
cliff. Head back to just before the steps and head east. Go along the path
and take the left intersection down the cliff. You'll see another item. Get
the Max Revive, then go back up and continue left. At the end of the path you
can head down the ladder. At this point, make your starting PoKeMoN on your
team Espeon for reasons you'll soon know. Now that you're back on an isolated
area of Floor 2, simply head east, get your Espeon ready, and then talk to
the Karate King. A psychic for each PoKeMoN from Espeon will down both of his
PoKeMoN.
Blackbelt Kiyo
Level 34 Hitmonlee (1012 EXP)
Level 34 Hitmonchan (1020 EXP)
You get: 816G
After your victory, you will be given a free Tyrogue. This is the baby
version of Hitmontop, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan. Now, if you go down, you'll
remember the rock to get out, but make life easier and use one of the Escape
Ropes you bought to get out of this freak place.
Next up is a flight to Violet City.
|-----------|
|Violet City|
|-----------|
We already have five of the nine special PoKeMoN of the game (two of five
legendaries): Sudowoodo, Snorlax, Gyarados (Shiny Red), Lugia, and Ho-oh.
What now? If it's a Friday, head to Violet City and then go south through
Route 32 into Union Cave.
|----------|
|Union Cave|
|----------|
OK, head along the path and past those two trainers. Head almost all the way
through till you see the guy on the cliff still spinning around. Below him is
a lake. Surf past it and head down the ladder, then fight the guy next to the
lake. Should be very, very, very easy.
PoKeManiac Andrew
Level 24 Marowak (637 EXP)
Level 24 Marowak (637 EXP)
You get: 1440G
With Andrew defeated, surf east and you'll fight another trainer.
PoKeManiac Calvin
Level 26 Kangaskhan (975 EXP)
You get: 1560G
Head down the ladder, then surf southward. Land on the left side to fight
another spinning trainer.
Cooltrainer Gwen
Level 26 Eevee (511 EXP)
Level 22 Vaporeon (924 EXP)
Level 22 Jolteon (928 EXP)
Level 22 Flareon (933 EXP)
You get: 1056G
Head down the path a long way and you'll fight...
Cooltrainer Emma
Level 28 Poliwhirl (786 EXP)
You get: 1344G
Now, make Shuckle your beginning PoKeMoN and then surf east. Save. You'll see
a blue PoKeMoN swimming around it. This is Lapras. Talk to it and you'll do
battle. You can use any of your low Level 10 PoKeMoN to do attacks on it, but
don't use any of your three Level 50s. I'd suggest using Wrap with Shuckle on
Turn 1, then using Encores and Strength from then forth. Keep the Strengths
and Wrap rolling and eventually Lapras will fall to the low red zone of HP.
Throw an Ultra Ball and catch it. Yes...now that's 6 of the 9 PoKeMoN...three
more legendaries to go! And you even got EXP on the way! Now, use an escape
rope to get out of there. 26:45 into the game, we're ready to go for those
legendaries. Fly to Ecruteak City.
|-----------|
|Azalea Town|
|-----------|
Heal here, deposit Tyrogue and Shuckle, and put in a lineup of Scyther,
Typhlosion, and the four you already have out (meaning Gyarados is in the
box). Deposit more items and take out both the White Apricorn and the Black
Apricorn. Now, go up to Kurt's place. You can snag another White Apricorn
outside his house. Give him both White Apricorns, then you'll have to wait a
day. Our Scyther's out for False Swipe...but fly back to Ecruteak City.
|-------------|
|Ecruteak City|
|-------------|
Put Scyther as your first PoKeMoN, then head south onto Route 37. Before you
enter the grass, put on a Max Repel. Grab the Apricorns while you're at it.
Basically, do this on every route you run across...run across all Johto.
Check everywhere but the caves and seas. You're bound to hit Entei or Raikou
sooner or later...you're 27 hours into the game. Just remember one
thing...every time you enter a door, they move one route...so they can move
around very, very fast.
|-------------|
|Mahogany Town|
|-------------|
Fly to Mahogany Town. Realize that Raikou and Entei will only be in grasses,
which means it'll never be in water, caves, trees, Ilex Forest, or National
Park. The exceptions are Routes 40 and 41. They change route when you change
route or enter/exit a city, cave, or building. The best routes to try to find
it in the first place are Routes 33, 42, and 44. Route 33 is located east of
Azalea Town, Route 42 is located west of Mahogany Town, while Route 44 needs
Surf...it's grass at the middle of the route. You can also grab Max Revive
there. These places have the smallest grasses. This might take a few days, so
set aside a few. You can fight Ash later, because if you catch all three
legendary dogs, you'll be able to have a shot for that Level 60 Ho-oh. As
long as you find Raikou or Entei in the first place, you'll have the means to
track it down. Train up Scyther with EXP Share at this point...have one of
your Elite 4 PoKeMoN do the fighting and share the EXP at Silver Cave. Do not
use Agility for Scyther. Wing Attack should replace Focus Energy. Have Slash
replace Pursuit. Train till Scyther is Level 39, then use Route 42 with the
Max Repel. Anyway, at this point you can go for those Legendary Dogs, or go
forth into Mount Silver and beat the game.
|------------|
|Mount Silver|
|------------|
Now that you're ready for the final challenge, re-enter Mount Silver...equip
HM05 on Espeon if you haven't already for Flash, use a Max Repel, and have
HM05 Flash replace Take Down on Espeon. Reach Ash and save your game. This is
probably the one major time in which you must save (the other being the Elite
Four). Put Sudowoodo as your starter.
Your final lineup should be:
Level 50 Gyarados
Level 53 Sudowoodo
Level 53 Dragonair
Level 53 Typhlosion
Level 54 Espeon
Level 70 Lugia
Bokpui's lineup: Level 50 Gyarados, Level 53 Sudowoodo, Level 53 Dragonair,
Level 53 Typhlosion, Level 54 Espeon, Level 70 Lugia
Ash's lineup: Level 73 Espeon, Level 75 Snorlax, Level 77 Venusaur, Level 77
Charizard, Level 81 Pikachu
Talk to the trainer you see before you. This is Ash. 2 into the game, you are
about to face BY FAR the strongest trainer in the game. Let the fun begin.
Ash won't even talk to you...but he'll know you want to battle him. You
should still have a few revives and hyper potions from the battle against the
Elite Four.
Best PoKeMoN Trainer Red a.k.a. Ash Ketchum
Level 81 Pikachu (1422 EXP)
Level 73 Espeon (3081 EXP)
Level 77 Blastoise (3465 EXP)
Level 75 Snorlax (2475 EXP)
Level 77 Charizard (3448 EXP)
Level 77 Venusaur (3432 EXP)
You get: 7700G
Strategy VERSUS Pikachu: Two rock slides from Sudowoodo will crush Pikachu,
but make sure Pikachu does not kill it...
Strategy VERSUS Espeon: Switch to your Lugia. Lugia's rain dance, then 2-3
hydro pumps should knock it down.
Strategy VERSUS Blastoise: Use Typhlosion to launch a thunderpunch on
Blastoise early on. He'll drop, but Blastoise will be weakened. Then switch
to Espeon and launch three consecutive psychic attacks to finish it off.
Strategey VERSUS Snorlax: Snorlax is Ash's strongest PoKeMoN, and takes the
longest to defeat. Keep Espeon and have it do as many psychic moves as it can
before it faints (probably one). Send in all of your PoKeMoN to weaken it,
along with Thunder Wave from Dragonair. Hyper beam from Gyarados will do uber-
damage to it.
Strategy VERSUS Charizard: Charizard is easier than most of your earlier
matchups. Heal up Sudowoodo, and when Gyarados falls, send in a rock slide.
Before he falls too, use a revive on Lugia. Now, use Lugia when Sudowoodo
drops, and heal it all the way up. Use gust or hydro pump if you still have
another one. Charizard's down...one more to go.
Strategy VERSUS Venusaur: Keep Lugia to finish off Venusaur. Use Rain Dance
first. This shouldn't be too hard, as even solar beam sucks against Lugia.
Keep hitting gusts, and when your HP drops below 100, heal with recover.
You'll eventually drop the poor guy, even when he uses Synthesis to heal back
HP.
Level 50 Gyarados, Level 53 Sudowoodo, Level 53 Dragonair, Level 53
Typhlosion, Level 54 Espeon, Level 60 Lugia
DEFEATS
Level 73 Espeon, Level 75 Snorlax, Level 77 Venusaur, Level 77 Charizard,
Level 81 Pikachu.
Haha, well, Ash is down. You're the best trainer in the Johto and Kanto
worlds combined, at this time. After defeating Ash, he'll give you the money
and then the silent treatment. He flies away, and then the credits start
rolling. Congratulations, you've beat the game...or at least, most of it.
Game beaten in 28:57. After the credits roll, save. You have won though you
were outlevelled 137 levels overall (23 levels on each PoKeMoN, rounded)!
The game is over, for the most part. You can still catch the Legendary Dogs
at this time if you haven't already...
