Leftovers, which restore HP after
every turn.
The Department Store isn't selling anything big, except for maybe the TMs.
You can now buy Hidden Power (TM 10), Sunny Day (TM 11), Protect (TM 17,
exact same as Detect), Rain Dance (TM 18), and Sandstorm (TM 37). Find all
these on the 3rd floor.
Fortunatley, you don't HAVE to do any of that. Instead, Cut your way into
the Celadon Gym. Beat the 4 Grass-element trainers, and talk to Erika to
start a fight for the Rainbow Badge.
Leader Erika
Pokemon- L42 Tangela, L41 Jumpluff, L46 Victreebel, L46 Bellossom
Rewards- $4600, Rainbow Badge, TM 19 (Giga Drain)
Use Fire, Flying, Ice, or Psychic Pokemon to put these Pokemon away. Watch
out for Sunny Day/Solarbeam combonations.
After defeating Erika, you'll get the Rainbow Badge and TM 19, Giga Drain.
It's a more powerful version of Mega Drain, because it does damage and
returns 1/2 of it to you. With Erika defeated, get out the Bicycle and move
west to Cycling Road
CYCLING ROAD
Items- None
Pokemon- Fearow (M), Grimer (MAE), Muk (MAE), Slugma (MAE), Murkrow (E)
To get to the wild Pokemon on top of the hill, you'll need Cut. Slugma is
a Fire-type, but its evolved form, Magcargo, is Fire/Rock, which is
a very weird combo. Get Grimer and Muk, as well. When you start down the
hill, beat the trainers. At the bottom is Fuschia City.
FUSCHIA CITY
Items- Burnt Berry, Soul Badge, TM 06 (Toxic)
Pokemon- None
First, Cut your way to the Safari Zone building to find... that the owner
shut it down ((radio edit)). Pick up the Burnt Berry as consolation.
The fact that the Zone is closed makes this a very boring town. Routes 19-
21 are closed because the volcano that is Cinnabar Island blew its top one
day. However, the Gym is still running, and they're dedicated to Poison. All
the Jr. Trainers look like the new leader, Janine, but they're easy to find
and defeat. When you've fought 4 trainers, Janine is just a few feet away.
She'll fight you for the Soul Badge. (And for the record, she's Koga's
daughter.)
Leader Janine
Pokemon- L36 Crobat, L33 Ariados, L36 Weezing (x2), L39 Venomoth
Rewards- $3900, Soul Badge, TM 06 (Toxic)
All of these are part-Poison Pokemon. Use Psychic attacks, or Ground/Rock
attacks. Fire works nicely on Venomoth, and you can use Ice/Electric attacks
on Crobat.
Beat Janine to claim the Soul Badge, and the Toxic TM. Toxic does what it
always did: Poison the enemy, with the damage doubling every turn. Heal
after the fight, and move on to Route 15.
ROUTES 15-12
Items- PP Up, Nugget, Calcium, Super Rod
Pokemon- Pidgeotto (MA), Hoppip (MA), Skiploom (MA, Route 14 only), Nidorino
(MAE), Nidorina (MAE), Chansey (MAE), Noctowl (E), Quagsire (ME), Aerodactyl
(trade Chansey on Route 14)
Surfing- Tentacool, Tentacruel, Quagsire (all MAE)
Fishing- Magikarp, Tentacool, Qwilfish (Super Rod)
Routes 12-15 are the only places in the game to find Chansey. And she's
just as hard to find as she was in the original. But it's important to get
two of them. One for evolving, as it has a new form. The other to trade on
Route 14 (you'll need Cut) to a trainer for Aerodactyl. In that same patch
are wild Skiploom (Hoppip's evolved form).
All the items, with the exception of the Super Rod, need Cut to access. So
bring a Cutter with you. The Super Rod is in a house on Route 12, so grab
it. It's the only way to catch certain Pokemon.
There are about 20 trainers on the 4 routes combined, which means major exp.
for all your Pokemon. At the end of the routes is Lavender Town. Heal there,
and go back down to Route 11.
ROUTE 11
Items- Berry
Pokemon- Rattata (MAE), Magnemite (MAE), Drowzee (MAE), Hypno (MAE), Snorlax
(ONE)
This is the final area in the eastern section of Kanto. Grab Hypno, and make
sure you have a Heavy Ball or two on you. Because now, you have the ability
to wake the Snorlax. This is your only chance to catch one, so good luck.
To wake it up, select the PokeFlute station on your Poke Gear's radio, then
walk up to Snorlax and press A. To catch him, you'll need a sleep Pokemon
and a Pokemon with either False Swipe or Seismic Toss. Put Snorlax to sleep,
and wear it down with those moves. When it's down as far as possible, and
sleeping, throw Heavy Balls.
This Snorlax starts at level 50, so it missed a few moves (like Belly Drum
and Amnesia). If you want them, breed it. After Snorlax shoves off, you
can enter Diglett's Cave.
DIGLETT'S CAVE
Items- None
Pokemon- Diglett (MAE), Dugtrio (MAE)
Catch the moles and move through to Route 2. Very short and very sweet. Just
make sure you have Cut for the next part.
ROUTE 2
Items- Carbos, Nugget, Elixir, Max Potion, Poisoncureberry, Dire Hit
Pokemon- Gold-- Caterpie (MA), Metapod (MA), Butterfree (M), Pidgey (MA),
Pidgeotto (MA), Pikachu (MAE), Spinarak (E), Ariados (E), Hoothoot (E),
Noctowl (E)
Silver-- Weedle (MA), Kakuna (MA), Beedrill (M), Ledyba (M), Ledian (M),
Pidgey (A), Pidgeotto (A), Pikachu (MAE), Hoothoot (E), Noctowl (E)
If you want ANYTHING here, you'll need a False Swiper or a ton of Level
Balls. The Pokemon here go from levels 3-8. The Pikachu at most are L4, so
excercise extreme caution.
To get all the items here, start with the Carbos in the upper-right corner
of the area. Go down to the house to get a Nugget, and Cut down a bush. Keep
going to get an Elixir, then cut down another bush to come out on the left
side. Go through what's left of Viridian Forest, and get the remaining
items in there. Go north to Pewter City.
PEWTER CITY
Items- Mint Berry, Ice Berry, Silver/Rainbow Wing (the one you didn't get in
Goldenrod), Boulder Badge
Pokemon- None
The Berries are in the top-right corner of the map. The Wing is held by an
old man who's hanging out at the entrance to Route 3. Pick up the wing, grab
a Master Ball, and go for that second bird. (The way to get to them is back
in Johto, under the second set of Side Areas.)
After you get back, go to the old gym. There's still only one Jr. Trainer,
so beat him and get a piece of the Brock.
Leader Brock
Pokemon- L41 Graveler, L41 Rhyhorn, L42 Omastar, L42 Kabutops, L44 Onix
Rewards- $4200, Boulder Badge
A single Grass type will defeat this team with no problems, as all 5 of the
Pokemon are 4x weak to Grass. If you don't have a Grass-type raised, go for
Water Pokemon and Electrics on Omastar and Kabutops.
Collect the Boulder Badge, and head out. At this point, you can check out
Mt. Moon, or go to Viridian City. We'll be going to Mt. Moon first, by
Route 3.
ROUTE 3
Items- None
Pokemon- Gold-- Spearow (MA), Rattata (MAE), Jigglypuff (MAE), Zubat (E)
Silver-- Spearow (MA), Rattata (MAE), Jigglypuff (MAE), Ekans (MAE), Arbok
(MAE), Zubat (E)
Only 4 trainers to defeat this time. Snag Jigglypuff and Arbok (Silver only)
and go into Mt. Moon. Just be healed before entering.
MT. MOON
Items- Moon Stone (Monday nights, need Rock Smash)
Pokemon- Gold-- Sandshrew (MAE), Sandslash (MAE), Clefairy (MAE), Zubat
(MAE), Paras (MAE), Geodude (MAE)
Silver-- Clefairy (MAE), Zubat (MAE), Paras (MAE), Geodude (MAE)
As soon as you enter Mt. Moon, the Rival will make one last forced
appearence. (After this, he's fighting at Indigo Plateau on Monday and
Wednesday.)
Rival
Pokemon- L41 Sneasel, L41 Magneton, L42 Golbat, L43 Alakazam, L43 Gengar,
L45 starter.
Sneasel's dead in a Cross Chop, and Magneton in an Earthquake. Golbat will
fall victim to Thunder Punch, and Alakazam to a Crunch attack. Gengar falls
victim to Earthquake/Psychic, and the starter to a Flamethrower/Thunder
Punch/Surf attack.
After he goes, catch Clefairy and leave by the top ladder. This will take
you to a small shop that sells large quantities of Lemonade, and the site of
the Clefairy's Moon Dance. After the dance, break the rock for a Moon Stone,
then go to the lower cave entrance. A quick hop to Route 4.
ROUTE 4
Items- HP Up
Pokemon- Same as Route 3
Just head east, beat the trainers, and go to Cerulean. Go through Saffron
to Diglett's Cave, and back to Route 2. This time, head south to Viridian
City.
VIRIDIAN CITY
Items- TM 42 (Dream Eater)
Pokemon- None
To get Dream Eater, go down to the Pokemon Center, and Surf the pond to a
sleeping guy. Talk to him for the TM.
The Viridian Gym is closed, but the One-on-One Trainer House is now open.
Once a day, you can fight the last person you used Mystery Gift with. It's
a great way to learn your friend's strengths and weaknesses. If you've not
used Mystery Gift, you'll fight this guy (who looks awfully familiar.)
Pokemon Trainer Cal
Pokemon- L50 Meganium, L50 Typhlosion, L50 Feraligatr
Use Fire on Meganium, Water on Typhlosion, and Electric/Grass on Feraligatr.
After finishing here, go south to Route 1.
ROUTE 1
Items- Bitter Berry
Pokemon- Pidgey (MA), Sentret (MA), Furret (MA), Rattata (MAE), Hoothoot (E)
Ah, memories... Catch Furret if you don't have one, then go down through
Pallet Town to Route 21.
ROUTE 21-19
Items- Volcano Badge
Pokemon- Tangela (MAE), Mr. Mime (MAE), Tentacool (MAE), Tentacruel (MAE)
Stick around the grass and try for a Mr. Mime. (And yes, you can get a
female Mr. Mime. If you do catch a female, call it Mrs. Mime.) After
catching Mr. Mime, surf south to what's left of Cinnabar Island. Talk to
Gary (the game calls him Blue for some reason), and he'll fly away. Surf
east until you come to the old Seafoam Islands, where it seems that Blaine
is hiding. Beat him.
Leader Blaine
Pokemon- L45 Magcargo, L45 Magmar, L50 Rapidash
Rewards- $5000, Volcano Badge
Use a Water or Ground type. That should put the old man away.
After you get the Badge, surf east until you come to Fuschia. The rocks have
been cleared, and the world unlocked. But you haven't the time for
celebration, as you've got one badge to go before you can call yourself a
great trainer.
VIRIDIAN CITY PART TWO
Items- Earth Badge
Pokemon- None
Go back to the Gym. Gary (Blue)'s the only one around. Get a balanced team
ready for the only hard trainer in Kanto.
Leader Blue
Pokemon- L56 Pidgeot, L54 Alakazam, L56 Rhydon, L58 Exeggutor, L58 Gyarados,
L58 Arcanine
Rewards- $5800, Earth Badge
Pidgeot is toast in a Rock/Ice/Electric attack. Alakazam goes down in a Dark
attack (Houndoom's Crunch) and Rhydon in any Water move. Use a Fire-type to
roast Eggy, an Electric Pokemon for Gyarados, and a Water for Arcanine.
After Blue hands over the Earth Badge, return to Pallet and go to Oak's Lab.
He'll tell you that Ash (Red) is training in Mt. Silver. The good Prof. will
show you the way to get there, and it involves Route 22.
ROUTE 22
Items- None
Pokemon- Spearow (MA), Fearow (MA), Doduo (MA), Rattata (MAE), Ponyta (MAE)
The only thing you need to do is go into the building. When you go in, the
guards you passed on the way to Indigo Plateau will be gone, and you'll be
on Route 28.
ROUTE 28
Items- TM 47 (Steel Wing)
Pokemon- Doduo (MA), Dodrio (MA), Ponyta (MAE), Rapidash (MAE), Tangela
(MAE), Ursaring (MAE, Gold), Donphan (MAE, Silver), Sneasel (E)
This is it. The final grass path of the game. Train well, and get any
Pokemon you don't have already. To get the second Steel Wing TM, go to the
Pokemon Center and cut down the bushes to find a house. The woman inside
will give it to you.
When you are ready, enter Mt. Silver, the final dungeon.
MT. SILVER
Items- X Accuracy, Escape Rope, Max Elixir, Full Restore, Max Revive
Pokemon- Section 1-- Onix (MAE), Graveler (MAE), Golbat (MAE), Larvitar
(MAE), Ursaring (MAE, Gold), Donphan (MAE, Silver)
Section 2-- Golduck (MAE), Quagsire (MAE), Golbat (MAE), Larvitar (MAE),
Ursaring (MAE, Gold), Donphan (MAE, Silver), Misdreavus (E)
You don't need them, but Flash and Waterfall help here. Flash lets you see
in section 1, and Waterfall gets the last two items.
To get through Section 1, go up, up the stairs, and around. Take the next
set down, then go right. Take these stairs up, and follow the wall to the
right. Go down the stairs, right a little bit, and up into Section 2.
In Section 2, the main thing is to get experience and catch the new Pokemon
here. Larvitar's always at L20, so beware. If you raise it for a long, long
time, it becomes Tyranitar, the Rock/Dark Pokemon with some great moves. As
for the nocturnal Misdreavus, it's a Ghost with no Poison (YES!) but weak
attacks.
For the final fight with Ash (Red), your party should look similar to the
one you fought the Elite 4 with. The exception: Replace Magmar with a
Houndoom that has at least Flamethrower and Crunch. (If you want, try Sunny
Day and Solarbeam for the other two.) Attach Dark Glasses. Also, give
Ampharos the Rain Dance/Thunder combo, or switch for an Electabuzz with
Thunderbolt, Ice Punch, Psychic, and Light Screen. Attach Magnet. I'll be
using Electabuzz and Houndoom in the examples.
When you have a team of Level 70 Pokemon, go up the stairs in Section 2, and
over to the door in the wall. Go up to Ash and stick Golem out front, then
let the climatic battle begin.
Pokemon Trainer Red
Pokemon- L81 Pikachu, L73 Espeon, L75 Snorlax, L77 Venusaur, L77 Charizard,
L77 Blastoise
Pikachu's toast in an Earthquake. Espeon goes down to Houndoom's Crunch
attack. Snorlax is a pain in the rear, but Machamp's Cross Chop attack
should KO the big lug. Alakazam's Psychic gets rid of the part-Poison
Venusaur, and Lapras' Surf will wash up Charizard. Finally, Electabuzz's
Thunderbolt attack will KO Blastoise and make you Pokemon World Champion!
Ash, the eternal man of few words, disappears after you beat him. The
end credits roll, and now the only thing left to do is get all 250 Pokemon.
