Kanto[]

The progression in the main game very closely follows the progression of the first generation games and their remakes.

• This guide will follow a classic mode on standard mode, with normal fusions.

Journey’s Beginning[]

Pallet Town

• See Pallet Town for more info.

In the player’s bedroom, there is a laptop to withdraw a potion, which might be helpful for the first battle against the ’s rival. On the main floor, the player’s mother will give a letter containing the Pokémon League’s acceptance to the Trainer’s Application Form, as well as the Trainer’s Card. Finally, the rival’s name can be chosen here.

Outside, the rival will inform the player that he was also accepted and Professor Oak is planning to give them each a Pokémon once he is back from Viridian City. Once the rival leaves, head north towards the patch of long grass, where Oak will stop and escort the player to his lab to choose a starter Pokémon.

The rival will choose the remaining starters and fuse them. Before the player can leave Prof. Oak’s Lab, the rival challenges her to a battle.

Once the battle’s over, Oak will ask the player to retrieve a package for him in Viridian City’s PokéMart. A final step before leaving Pallet Town is to visit the rival’s house and talk to his sister to obtain a map. The rival’s mother also gives the player the option to rename him.

Route 1
The road to Viridian City starts north of Pallet Town on Route 1. A PokéMart employee gives a Potion to the player when interacted with. The player can also interact with Lass Mimi for a battle with her Pidgey. Finally, there is an Oran Berry on the patch of tall grass west of Mimi.

Viridian City
The first thing to do is visit the PokéCenter to heal. The next destination should be the PokéMart to grab Oak’s Parcel and a free DNA Splicer. The road north is blocked by a drunk old man until the player delivers the parcel back to Oak in Pallet Town.

The way south to Pallet Town is quicker, as the player can jump down the steep rocky steps and evade most patches of tall grass. Anytime, interacting with the player’s mother can heal Pokémon. Delivering Oak's parcel will reward the player with 5 PokéBalls and the Pokédex, as well as unlock the path north of Viridian City. Before leaving, Oak’s male assistant gives the player two more PokéBalls.

Boulder Badge[]

Route 1

• See Route 1 for more info.

On the way back to Viridian City, it is a good idea to start capturing a few Pokémons, such as a Rattata and either a Pidgey or a Hoothoot. Wild encounters vary depending on the in-game time.

Viridian City

• See Viridian City for more info.

In the Viridian City’s PokéCenter, a youngster wants to trade his Bellsprout for a Spearow, which can be obtained at Route 22.

Additionally, if the user closed and reopened the game at least once with an existing save file, a deliveryman will also be present to give the player a Pyukumuku.

The Vermillion Gym is closed, as no one has seen the Gym Leader for so long. The player has no other choice to continue to the new Gym in hope to get a badge.

Route 22

• See Route 22 for more info.

West of Viridian City is Route 22. Although optional, it is highly recommended to battle the rival here to unlock the Secret Garden.

While here, there are two youngsters to battle, which rewards the player with freebies. There are also two potions and a Becha Berry, as well as the tall grass offers additional Pokémon to help for the next sections. There are also berry bushes in this section, which can be interacted with every in-game day. If the player attempts to enter the Pokémon League gate, Brock, Pewter City’s Gym Leader, will stop her and explain she needs to collect 8 badges first.

Secret Garden

• See Secret Garden for more info.

This section is optional, but offers a lot of rewards. It can only be unlocked by defeating the rival at Route 22 before obtaining the first badge. Afterwards, it can be accessed whenever the player desires. It offers 6 Potions, 4 Revives, 1 Super Potion and 1 Max Revives, as well as additional Pokémons which can only be obtained much later normally. The entrance is located just south of Viridian City, in Route 1, by walking into a specific tile by the tree wall.

Route 2 (Before the Forest)

The home of bug Pokémons, this section contains several trainers to battle with. After fighting them, some will offer to trade one of their Pokémons, while others will offer to battle them again. Battling the same trainer again offers the chance to gain more Experience, as their Pokémon will also level up every few battles, and can also evolve.

There are also several items to collect, including 3 Pecha Berries hidden behind a potion, on the West side of the Forest.

There are also mushrooms and spiderwebs which can be interacted with every in-game day, but they can randomly give items or trigger a wild encounter with a Paras or a Spinarak. The clearway follows a counterclockwise direction, with the exit in the Top-West corner.

Near the bottom Right corner is a Rare Candy, and a bit North East is an Escape Rope. When attempting to grab the Rare Candy, a short scene about said thugs where they discuss their plan and block the path.

The only thing left to do for the player is to report back to Brock. He informs the player that the thugs are none other than Team Rocket, and gives the TM94 Rock Smash to deal with the blocked path. When taught to a Pokémon, the rock in front of the player is smashed and either an item is found or a Pokémon attacks. With Rock Smash, the player is now capable of traversing Mt. Moon.

Back in Mt. Moon, the trainers beyond the blocked path will battle the player. TM09 Venoshock can be obtained by breaking some rocks near a ladder.

Vermillion Gym
This city’s gym is the trainer’s third objective to complete the Trainer’s card. Defeating Lt. Surge, the leader, will reward the player with the Thunder Badge and a TM, as well as allow the player to progress through the main story.

After defeating Lt. Surge, the player is awarded with the Thunder Badge, the TM73 Thunder Wave, and two Wonder Trader Tickets. Leaving the Gym, a scientist gives HM07 Teleport to the player and explains the Fossil Resurrection Machine in Pewter City is available to the public. Finally, when talking to the Hiker in the South East corner, he gives a Blue Flute.

• Teaching Teleport to a Pokémon and having the Thunder Badge allows the player to move quickly to any previously visited town or PokéCenter. It acts as the form of Quick Travel in this game. Later, the player will find new forms of quick travel, and will go in more detail as they become available.

Optional Objectives - Diglett’s Cave and Cut[]

This section is entirely optional, but gives the player several items that may help the journey.

Cutting the small tree next to the house leads back to Pewter City, where the player can resurrect the two fossils. Finally, a new worker NPC next to the museum can be challenged to a battle and gives Bricks to the player if the player accepted the quest “Building Materials” back in Vermillion City.

Cutting the small tree and going in the Museum's side entrance opens a new side quest with a female scientist. Completing her quest gives the player the Old Amber.

Pokémon Tower
On the first floor, the young boy gives the player an Odd Keystone. Climbing the stairs to the second floor is the rival, who challenges the player to a battle.

After defeating the rival, both him and the player hear some yelling and they figure that Team Rocket are holding Mr. Fuji captive at the top of the tower. Unfortunately, without a Silph Scope, the player has no other choice but to go to Celadon City to try to get one.

• The small trees south of the hotel is a path that leads to the gym and the sewers. There is also a Twisted Spoon on the ground.
• In the Game Corner, after obtaining the Coin Case, there are 305 coins hidden by the chairs of the slot machines and plants.

Route 16

• See Route 16 for more info.

West of Celadon City is Route 16. The road is blocked by a slumbering Snorlax, but the player can visit a house, pass the patch of long grass and receive HM02 Fly from the Gentleman. There is also a hidden Leppa Berry in the trash bin.

• Teaching Fly to a Pokémon and having the Thunder Badge allows the player to move quickly to any previously visited town or PokéCenter. It acts as the form of Quick Travel in this game. This is an alternative to Teleport, as it serves the same Overworld purpose, but offers different combat options.

Left of the house is a hidden entrance to the Secret Forest.

Secret Forest

• See Secret Forest for more info.

This section is optional, but several Nuggets and a Rare Candy are on the ground, as well as Pokémons available to catch. The path south leads to Viridian River, but without Surf, there is nothing to do there yet.

Celadon Sewers

• See Celadon Sewers for more info.

Back in Celadon, the gym is locked, but near it is the Sewers, where the rival and Team Rocket are having a battle. When the player interrupts, Team Rocket hides in the sewer and the rival leaves, blaming the player. After the commotion, Erika comes to investigate, and when the player informs her that Mr. Fuji was kidnapped, she asks her to team up with the player and follow Team Rocket in the sewers. While inside the sewers, Erika will heal the player’s Pokémon after each battle, and battles with be in a 2vs2 setup.

• Similar to Mt. Moon, Team Rocket Grunts’ team is mostly composed of Zubats, Ekans, Rattatas, Koffings and Grimers. Most battles with Erika will be quick: she will be always be using her Weepingela first and often use Razor Leaf.
• There is also a funny visual glitch, where Erika starts moving really fast and goes off screen: don’t worry, she’ll still be in the battles and heal your team. It sometimes happened after changing floor with the ladders or loading a save file within the sewers.

The sewers’ puzzle involves raising and lowering the water level and creating bridges with large wooden planks. When climbing the ladders, PCs allow the player to raise and lower the water level. When walking on a large wooden plank that is hanging while the water level is low, the wooden plank will fall and create a new bridge for the player once the water level rises.

While completing the sewers puzzle, the player can grab several items. For the ones on the higher ground, one in particular requires the water to be raised and crossing wooden planks, while the rest require the water to be lowered to walk on stairs. For the ones of the lower ground, it will always require the water to be lowered.

• From Lower ground, there is an Ultra Ball, TM34 Sludge Wave and PP Up.
• From Higher ground when water is lowered, there is a Super Repel, a Full Restore and an Antidote.
• The Black Sludge requires the water to be raised and the player to cross several floating wooden planks.

At the end of the sewers is where the Team Rocket Hideout in Celadon. The player and Erika split at the fork. Whichever path the player chooses, there will be arrow tiles, which will force the player to move in their direction. There is a Great Ball, a Revive, an Elixir, a Full Heal and an Iron in the West Wing. In the East Wing, there is a Revive, an Elixir and a Full Heal. After completing the Arrow-maze, Giovanni will be waiting at the final room and challenge the player to a battle.

After defeating Giovanni, Erika will return to her gym, offering the player to challenge her for the Rainbow Badge, and the Silph Scope can be picked on the table. In the back room is a notebook with hints of their goal.

• There are items left in the room in which Erika went, so feel free to grab them. With Celadon’s gym doors unlocked and the Silph Scope, the player can choose to do whichever first between grabbing the badge or saving Mr. Fuji. Furthermore, the Team Rocket gatekeeper at each Saffron City’s terminals will no longer accept any toll, but will challenge the player to a battle. Defeating any of the gatekeepers will grant access to Saffron City.

Celadon Gym
This city’s gym is the trainer’s fourth objective to complete the Trainer’s card. Defeating Erika, the leader, will reward the player with the Rainbow Badge and a TM, as well as allow the player to progress through the main story.

At the entrance, there will be no one, so no free Fresh Water to the player or tips regarding the gym. But Erika did give the player enough clues, thanks to the Sewers arc, which is a Grass type for this case.

This gym is a simple maze made of hedges, with Erika in the middle. It contains eight trainers, and some of them can be skipped if desired.

After reaching the center of the maze, the player can finally challenge Erika. For her battle, the amount of Pokémons in a team will be limited to three.

After defeating Erika, the player is awarded with the Rainbow Badge, the TM22 Solar Beam, and two Wonder Trader Tickets. Finally, when talking to the Hiker in the small forest right of the Café, he gives a Red Flute.

Soul Badge[]

Pallet Town
With four badges, when the player speaks with her brother, he will give her one of the starters as a Pokémon Egg.

• The player's sibling will generally give the starter which is strong against the starter you started with. For example, if you started with Charmander, he would give you a Squirtle Egg.

Cerulean Cape
Bill is working on an AI Pokémon Project and requires the help of the player to retrieve it. When inside the cyberspace, level 20 Porygon will attack the player, but she will not be able to catch them. The goal is to force the Porygon back to the entrance, but it will keep taking the path furthest from the player. When the Porygon is the closest to the entrance, interact with it from the north and it will leave the cyberspace.

Pokémon Tower

• See Pokémon Tower for more info.

Back in Lavender Town, right of the Pokémon Tower is a giant bell. If the player accepted the Old Lady’s quest in Celadon’s Hotel, her clue is to ring the bell when the time is right (Both hands of a clock are right, so 3:15). A cave entrance will appear next to the Bell, and at the very end, a Reaper Cloth can be found on the ground.

With the Silph Scope, it’s time to go rescue Mr. Fuji back in the Pokémon Tower. There is an Elixir on the ground on the second floor. The ghosts blocking the player’s path in the 3rd floor are gone and instead, trainers are blocking the way to the top.

There is an Awakening and a Spell Tag on the ground on the fourth floor. On the fifth floor, there is a purified zone which will heal the player’s team, as well as a HP Up and an Escape Rope. On the sixth floor, there is the TM61 Will-O-Wisp. When attempting to climb the stairs to the seventh floor, a ghost lass stops the player and challenges her.

Reaching the seventh floor, the player reaches Mr. Fuji, which is safe. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to give them what they wanted. Before leaving, he gives her the PokéFlute.

Route 12

• See Route 12 for more info.

There is a Big Root behind some cuttable trees and Fisherman Hank gives the player a Water Stone after defeating him. With the Poké Flute, the player can now wake the slumbering Snorlax blocking on Route 12 and progress towards Fuchsia City. When attempting to wake him up, Snorlax will challenge the player.

After capturing or defeating the Snorlax, Janine will be grateful to unblocking the road, and invite the player to visit her in Fuchsia City.

Further along the road is the house of one of the Fishing Guru, who gives the player a Good Rod.

Route 13

• See Route 13 for more info.

There are 16 trainers in total in Route 13, most of them optional. The player can not obtain all items until she has Surf, but there is an Everstone pass Clown Pagliacci, two pearls hidden in the seashells on the beach, a Sun Stone from Swimmer Valerie, a Super Potion by the large patch of tall grass, a calcium and a PP Up in the fence maze.

• After defeating Nurse Maria, she will heal the player’s Pokémon.

Route 14

• See Route 14 for more info.

Route 14 is short, with 7 trainers and a Damp Rock by the large patch of rough grass.

Route 15

• See Route 15 for more info.

Route 15 is fairly short too, with 8 trainers to battle. There is also TM36 Sludge Bomb by the small patch of long grass pass Clown Sol, a Sticky Barb on the higher ground, as well as a hidden Hard Stone in the mossy rock next to it.

• Just like in Route 13, Nurse Celia will heal the player’s Pokémon after defeating her.

Route 16
Like the player did in Route 12, she can play the PokéFlute to wake the Snorlax. After defeating or capturing it, the player will recieve HM04 Stength, and the path to Route 17 will no longer be blocked.

Route 17

• See Route 17 for more info.

Route 17 is a Cycling Road, and can only be traversed if the player has either a Bicycle or a Racing Bicycle. There are 10 trainers in total, and most of them are optional or can be evaded.

Route 18
Without Surf, there is not much to do on Route 18. There are two Bikers, as well as a patch of tall grass. Fuchsia City is only a dozen steps East from the terminal.

Fuchsia City

• See Fuchsia City for more info.

This city has the usual accommodation: a two-story PokéCenter, a PokéMart and a Hotel. Additionally, Fuchsia offers in particular:

• The Hotel has a backyard with a lady who can groom one of the player’s Pokémon per day.
• The flute hiker is in the zoo, between Munna’s and the bugs’ cages.
• The Safari Zone can be found at the end of the zoo.
• On the second floor of the East Terminal for Route 15 is one of Oak’s assistants, who will give the player an Exp. All if she fused 20 types.

Safari Zone

• See Safari Zone for more info.

The Safari Zone is a unique place to catch rare Pokémons, where the player does not battle wild Pokémons to catch, but instead, throws rocks and baits, and can only use the Safari Balls provided. When the player pays to enter, 30 Safari Balls are provided and the player will be forced to exit once all of them are used or have taken 600 steps. The reason for visiting the Safari Zone this early is to obtain HM03 Surf, given by a Park Ranger in the house within Area 4.

• The first time going in should be focused on obtaining the HM03 Surf, located very deep in the Safari Zone. Ignore items and only try capturing wild Pokémons on the way without doing any detours or using all Safari Balls, as the majority of the steps will be used to get to the prize.

Fuchsia Gym
This city’s gym is the trainer’s fifth objective to complete the Trainer’s card. Defeating Koga, the leader, will reward the player with the Soul Badge and a TM, as well as allow the player to progress through the main story.

At the entrance is a man who gives a Fresh Water to the player, as well as basic information regarding the gym, which is a Poison type for this case.

This gym also contains six trainers, and most can be dodged if desired.

This gym has a maze puzzle with invisible walls. The best option is to reach the right window, find the entrance passing by the center window. This path will go near the center of the room, then near the entrance, and finally, to Koga.

For Koga’s battle, the amount of Pokémons in a team will be limited to four.

After defeating Koga, the player is awarded with the Soul Badge, the TM06 Toxic, and two Wonder Trader Tickets. Finally, when talking to the Hiker in the small forest right of the Café, he gives a Yellow Flute.

This section is entirely optional, but gives the player several items that may help the journey.

Route 13
By the junction with Route 14 are two big boulders, which hides a Hyper Potion. There is also a Black Belt who will ask the player to use Strength to move his Rhyhorn to the tower by the beach. Doing so will reward the player with the HM Replacement Item Handtruck.

On Route 4, there is a second cave entrance, south where the player originally came out from Mt. Moon. Beyond the giant boulders are stairs that lead to the upper section of Mt. Moon Square for TM96 Moonblast.

Route 24
On Route 24, between the Nugget Bridge and Route 25, is TM19 Telekinesis behind some giant boulders.

Marsh Badge[]

Occupied Saffron City
After disrupting Team Rocket’s operation in Celadon Sewers, the Grunts blocking access to Saffron City in routes 5, 6, 7 and 8 will no longer ask for a fee, but recognize the player and start a 2vs2 battle. After defeating any Grunt, the Saffron City will be accessible from any terminal.

Saffron City is completely occupied by Team Rocket: the Hotel, the Restaurant, the Gym and several Condominiums are reserved for Team Rocket members. Even the PokéMart is run by Team Rocket.

On the ground are a Max Revive and TM63 Embargo. The only things left to do at the moment is use the PokéCenter, challenge the Fighting Dojo and save Silph Co. Head Office.

Fighting Dojo
The fighting Dojo houses six Black Belt and Crush Girl trainers, and defeating the leader will reward the player with a Pokémon of her choice between Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop.

Silph Co. Head Office

• See Silph Co. Head Office for more info.

Team Rocket has taken control of the Silph Co. Head Office. This is an 11 story building, but the last floor cannot be reached with the elevator. The floors have colored tile which acts like warping panels to move in between two rooms of either the same or different rooms. Finally, the president’s office, where Silph Co.’s president is being held hostage by Giovanni, can only be reached via a warp panel.

• Similar to Mt. Moon and Celadon Sewers, Team Rocket Grunts’ team is mostly composed of Golbats, Arboks, Raticates, Drowzee, Marowak, Weekings and Muks.
• Additionally, some Silph Co. employees are loyal to Team Rocket and will have various fused Pokémons.
• There are two infirmaries which the player can use their beds to heal, one on 8F and one on 9F.

Between two sliding doors, on 3F, is a small room with a yellow warp tile, which leads to a small room in the North-East corner of 7F. A Silph Co. scientist will give the player a level-25 Lapras, and the turquoise warp panel behind him leads to 11F, the Executive Floor. Before entering the president’s office, the rival will challenge the player to a battle.

After defeating the rival, he will heal the player’s Pokémon and follow her to the president’s office, where both will challenge Giovanni in a double battle.

After defeating Giovanni, Team Rocket retreats from Silph Co. and the president thanks both the player and the rival. The President will also give the player one of the Johto’s starter Pokémon of her choice. Before leaving Silph Co. the yellow warp tile in the president’s office is now active, which leads to 6F, where a Master Ball can be obtained. Finally, on 1F, the receptionist will give the player an Upgrade as thanks for saving everyone. She will also sell several items at a discount.

• There will be a bouncer in front of the bar preventing the player from entering, but no one will inspect if a minor is inside before the night. While inside, there will be two mini quests, one of which is to copy the copycat girl’s dance for a Smeargle. Patrons in washrooms will give an Energy Drink and a Fresh Water, while on the dance floor, one gives a Beer.
  • If the bar’s day and night does not change, try going back in the washrooms and out again after 8:00 PM a few more times, it should change it to the night scene.

• There are three scientists that want to trade Pokémons. The left one wants a Raichu for an Electrode, the middle one wants a Ponyta for a Seel, and the last one gives a Clefable for a Chansey.

The gym is locked, so the player needs to find Blaine in the Pokémon Mansion.

Pokémon Mansion

• See Pokémon Mansion for more info

The gym is locked and some townsfolk inform the player, Blain is training in the Pokémon Mansion. The place was burnt some time ago, and many trainers and wild Pokémons now live in these halls. The Pokémon Mansion is sort of a maze, where gates block the passage and can be opened or closed via secret switches located in statues.

On 1F, a Pyromaniac trainer will give the player a Burn Heal after defeating him. There is an Escape Rope and a Moon Stone to grab by the North-East path. After toggling the gates near a Scientist, a X Speed can be grabbed.

Near the entrance are stairs for 2F, and taking the stairs next to it leads to a small room in 3F, where a Scientist and Magmar can be found. There is also a Max Potion and Max Revive on the ground.

Back on 2F, there is a Calcium and a Hyper Potion on the ground. Toggling the switch will open the gate blocking the stairs in the North-West corner. On the 3F, there is an Iron in the North-East corner and a Scientist will give the player an Escape Rope after defeating him. The Eastmost path to the scientist leads to stairs to the 2F for a Hyper Potion, while the Westmost path will drop the player to a new section in 1F.

The path after the stairs has a Carbos on the ground, and an exit back to Cinnabar Island, if the player needs to heal. CAREFUL, when entering back into the Mansion, the player will need to go back from the entrance. On B1F, the statue near the South-West will open the gate for the eastern corridor. There is TM14 Blizzard, a Full Restore and an Everstone to grab while near the statue. In the North, there is another statue to toggle to grab the Rare Candy in the second Northern room. Toggling the statue again to reach the Western portion, where there is TM64 Explosion on the ground. Blaine will be in the next room South.

Cinnabar Gym
This city’s gym is the trainer’s seventh objective to complete the Trainer’s card. Defeating Blaine, the leader, will reward the player with the Volcano Badge and a TM, as well as allow the player to progress through the main story.

At the entrance is a man who gives a Fresh Water to the player, as well as basic information regarding the gym, which is a Fire type for this case.

This gym also contains six trainers, and they are all optional.

This gym mimics a quiz show, where questions are asked to the player, and when answered incorrectly, has to fight a battle with that trainer’s question. When answered correctly, the player can choose between battling the trainer or going to the next question.

For Blaine’s battle, the amount of Pokémons in a team will be limited to four.

After defeating Blaine, the player is awarded with the Volcano Badge, the TM38 Fire Blast, and three Wonder Trader Tickets.

Earth Badge[]

When attempting to enter Cinnabar's harbour, South of Cinnabar Island, a scene where Team Rocket steals the Seagallop Ferry from the sailor happens. The player has no other choice but to surf to Mt. Ember on the Offshore Road.

Offshore Road

• See Offshore Road for more info.

Offshore Road is the water route between the Kanto region and Sevii Islands. Similar to the Arrow Tiles, the strong water current will force the player to move to the direction the water is flowing. The path resembles a maze, where the player will have to use the strong current to navigate through obstacles.

There are several dead-end paths that lead to small islands, which contain a Dragon Scale, three Iron Balls, a Relic Copper and a Relic Crown. Eventually, the water changes color to indicate Sevii Islands’ waters, and not far after is Kindle Road, with the Seagallop just North of where the player arrives.

Mt. Ember

• See Mt. Ember for more info.

The Seagallop Ferry has been abandoned at the beach of Mt. Ember. Corsolas block the path to explore the rest of the beach.

Team Rocket established a new base within Mt. Ember, where several Grunts will attempt to block the player’s passage. A gate can be opened via a switch, and an Ice Pick and a Power Plant Key are the ground, which will give access to explore both the Seaform Islands and the Power Plant later.

When reaching the center room, several scenes are shown where Giovanni captures Moltres and fuses it with the other two Kanto’s Legendary Birds, Articuno and Zapdos.

Once the player approaches Giovanni, he challenges the player with his newly triple-fused Pokémon.

• This battle is quite different then the others. The player can only use one Pokémon at a time, but all three birds’ heads can attack and use moves. This essentially makes it a 3vs1 Battle, since all three heads must be defeated to win the battle. Each head shares the same type as its original Pokémon.

After defeating Giovanni, Zapmolcuno unfuses and all three Legendary birds flee. After Team Rocket leave, Moltres returns to its throne for the player to capture. When the player exits, the rival and the Seagallop Ferry’s sailor greet the player. The rival wants to check the old abandoned gym in Viridian City, and the sailor gives the player a Seagallop Pass. He will then offer her to either go back to Cinnabar Island or explore Sevii Islands, which will bring her to One Island AKA Knot Island.Route 21

• See Route 21 for more info.

Route 21 is a short route with 6 trainers. Additionally, there is a Pearl and Stardust to grab on islands. There is a Burn Heal after defeating a swimmer, and a Pearl and a Net Ball from Fishermen.

Viridian Gym
This city’s gym is the trainer’s eighth objective to complete the Trainer’s card. Defeating Giovanni, the leader, will reward the player with the Earth Badge and a TM, as well as allow the player to progress through the main story.

At the entrance is a man who gives a Fresh Water to the player, as well as basic information regarding the gym, which is a Ground type for this case.

This gym also contains eight trainers, and most of them are optional.

This gym features the arrow tiles and long halls, which forces the player to battle the trainer at the end of the path. There is a Revive on the ground in one of the East corridors.

For Giovanni’s battle, the amount of Pokémons in a team will be limited to five.

After defeating Giovanni, the player is awarded with the Earth Badge, the TM26 Earthquake, and three Wonder Trader Tickets.

Optional Objectives - Legendary Birds and more[]

This section is entirely optional, but gives the player several items that may help the journey.

Power Plant

• See Power Plant for more info.

Back on Route 10, by the PokéCenter, is a fork. West leads to Rock Tunnel, North leads to Route 9, and South leads to the Power Plant. With the Power Plant Key, the player may now explore the basem*nt.

There will be plenty of Electric Pokémons, and several Pokéballs are Voltorb or Electrode in hiding. The main corridors and the different side rooms will contain items: a Carbos, a Max Elixir, TM25 Thunder, TM33 Reflect, a Rare Candy, a hidden Thunder Stone in the South-East corner, and seven Cell Batteries. Five Cell Batteries will be required to open the gate to the end room. There is also a back room to the North-East Storage with an Electrabuzz.

After opening the gate, the sinuous path will end with a room, which will contain Zapdos.

Seafoam Islands

• See Seafoam Islands for more info.

With the Ice Pick, the player can now explore Seafoam Islands, located in the middle of Route 20. From either entrance, interacting with the icy wall will allow the player to climb to its top.

The Icy Cavern is full of frozen lakes and ladders and frozen lakes, the former being similar to the strong currents in Offshore Road and arrow panels, where the player slides in the direction and stops when either by an icy block or a wall.

The stairs down lead to a Big Pearl. The second stairs down lead to the first frozen lakes. The stairs down on East will lead to B2F.

The ladder North, beyond the frozen lake, leads to Jynx, while the ladder South leads to an Escape Rope. Before taking the ladder East, there is a TM07 Hail beyond the frozen lake.

On B3F, the player can see Articuno, but cannot reach it yet. After two short Surf sections, there are two sets of ladders to climb up, then climb down, to reach the large Surf Section which leads to Articuno’s islands.

After the battle, the ladder to escape is on the North-East corner, where a Nugget can be found on B2F.

Cinnabar Island
After defeating Team Rocket, some scientists have returned to the Cinnabar Island lab, where they are developing an advanced A.I. Trainer called R.E.D. They claim it is undefeatable and challenge the player to a battle, and will reward her with an Infinite Splicers after winning. As of 5.3.1, this is currently bugged.

Elite Four[]

With all eight badges, the player is free to go to the Pokémon League and challenge the Elite Four, for the final objective of the Trainer’s card.

Route 22
On the way to the Pokémon League’s gate, the rival challenges the player once more.

Route 26 and Route 27
After the player shows all eight badges to the gate’s guard, the player arrives at Route 26. The road to the Pokémon League has two challenges: the first challenge is crossing both Routes to reach Victory Road’s Gate. Because of the high ground, the player has no choice but to do the detour by Route 27. On the bridge, there will be two trainers, and the fisherman will give the player a Heart Scale after defeating him.

Route 27 is a path with bridges and small islands to surf to. There are a total of 8 trainers to battle, as well as TM30 Shadow Ball, a Star Piece and a Rare Candy to grab. On the West, the player will enter Tohjo Falls, but without Waterfall, cannot be explored. Instead, the path East leads to stairs on a cliffside. The path will eventually loop back to Route 26, but on the higher ground.

• See Route 27 for more info.

The path continues through the Forest before climbing the Mountain for the Pokémon League Gate. There are 6 more trainers to battle, as well as an Elixir, TM02 Dragon Claw and a Full Restore to grab. Near the foot of the mountain is a VR, where an elderly woman will offer to rest for free.

• See Route 26 for more info.

Once the player reaches the Pokémon League Gate, a clerk is available to buy and trade items, as well as a Healing Station to heal the player’s Pokémons. The guard on the West will block the access to Mt. Silver.

Victory Road

• See Victory Road for more info.

The second challenge is beyond the Gate, where a maze within a cave awaits the player. To up the difficulty, the player needs to push boulders onto dent switches to open passages, filled with trainers and wild Pokémons.

On the first floor, there is a boulder to push from the South-West corner to the South-East corner. This will open the path on the higher ground and give access to the Northern section, where a trainer can be battle, and a Rare Candy and TM52 Focus Blast are near the North-East corner. The ladder for 2F is located in the North-West corner.

On 2F, there is a Full Heal on the ground, as well as a boulder to push in the South-West corner. It can easily be trapped amongst the rocks, so the ladder can serve as a reset. Once the boulder is on the switch, the path for the Eastern section is opened. Five trainers block the path, and there are a lot of items to grab: a Max Potion, a Revive, TM82 Dragon Tail, another Full Heal, a Full Restore and TM90 Substitute. There are two ladders for 3F, the one of the higher ground is blocked and only be accessed once a boulder from 3F has fallen to 2F, while the second can be taken near the center for 3F.

On 3F, there are three trainers to fight on the Northern section, as TM74 Gyro Ball and a Max Revive to grab. Pushing the boulder from North-East all the way to the North-West corner will open the Southern section. There is a ladder that brings to an optional section back on 2F, where there is a trainer, as well as TM75 Swords Dance and a Guard Spec., as well as the legendary Pokémon Entai.

Back on 3F, the Southern section has two more trainers to battle, and the boulder to push to 2F. The player can also fall in the hole, where they should both be near the switch. Once the boulder is in place, the passage for the nearby ladder should be opened.

The South-Eastern Section of 3F has two more trainers, which block the final ladder. On 2F, the exit to Indigo Plateau is only a dozen steps.

Indigo Plateau

• See Indigo Plateau for more info.

Indigo Plateau is the home to the Pokémon League. It is a straight path from Victory Road to the Lobby. Inside, there is a Clerk who sells items, a Nurse to heal the party’s party, a Move Reminder and the Update man.

Climbing the stairs and going through the door will begin the Elite Four challenge.

• Players must battle each member of the Elite Four consecutively. No break to the PokéCenter is allowed, nor swapping Pokémons in the Storage, and if all the player leaves or all its Pokémons are fainted, the challenge must be started from the beginning. Stock on healing items, cure status and revives in between battles. Similar to Gym Leaders, each member will specialize in a different type, so having a team that has good offensive coverage is recommended.
• See Elite Four for more info.

After the player defeats the rival, Prof. Oak comes in. He meant to congratulate the rival, but ends up schooling him and congratulates the player. He escorts her to the Hall of Fame to record her Pokémons and exploits. Afterwards, the credits roll.

Azalea Town

• See Azalea Town for more info.

The South-East gate from Ilex Forest leads to Azalea Town, which is flooded due to Slowpoke Well overflowing.

If the player interacts with him a few times, he will challenge the player. After losing the battle, admit to clogging the well with Shellders, then run away. Once the player reports the situation back to Kurt, the old man, he will give her HM06 Dive, which will allow her to dive in Slowpoke Well and attempt to save the town.

Inside the well are four Slowpokes, as well as four Shellders blocking the drain. The player must push the Slowpokes into the Shellders using Strength to evolve them into Slowbros and swim away.

• After each Slowbro swims away, feel free to exit and re-enter to reset the boulders, as the Slowpoke and Shellder that were used from the previous evolution(s) will not reappear.

Once the player evolves all Slowpokes, the well drains rapidly. There is a Water Stone to pick on the small island West. When the player comes out of the well, Kurt comes to congratulate her for saving Azalea Town and gives her 5 Candy Balls. He informs her he is the town’s Gym leader and the town is now free to explore.
