==Azalea Town==
[[File:Azalea Town HGSS.png|thumb|300px|Azalea Town]]


-----
{{to|Azalea}} is a small, isolated town on the south end of [[Johto]]'s peninsula. Due to its remote location between [[Union Cave]] and [[Ilex Forest]], the town sees few visitors aside from those looking to challenge the [[Azalea Gym]]. A Poké Ball craftsman named [[Kurt]] lives in the northwest part of town. The [[Slowpoke Well]] is located in the east, and its resident {{p|Slowpoke}} freely wander around town.

[[File:Goldenrod City HGSS.png|thumb|250px|Goldenrod City]]
 
Welcome to {{ci|Goldenrod}}, a sprawling metropolis and Johto's economic capital.  Sister city to Saffron in Kanto, Goldenrod boasts a wide variety of local attractions, including a Pokémon Gym, Bike Shop, Game Corner, Radio Tower, and Department Store.  With so much going on, it's easy to get distracted and overlook any shady events.  But with a Team Rocket grunt keeping tabs on the Radio Tower, expect to return here to save the city from the Rockets' underhanded schemes.

=== Bike Shop ===
===The Man in Black===
When you approach the [[Slowpoke Well]] on the east side of town, you see a man dressed in black harassing one of the residents. He identifies himself as a member of [[Team Rocket]]. After admitting that the group had disbanded once before, he claims that it has been revived in order to pursue [[Giovanni]]'s goals. He shoves the man, who hurries back into town, before moving into position to block off the well. If spoken to, he says that the well is unsafe and he is simply guarding it so that no one hurts themselves.


The [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] has relocated to the city's southeast neighborhood from [[Cerulean City]] in Kanto, but business doesn't seem to be doing very well. The owner has an idea: since you're traveling so much, he'll loan you a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|bicycle}}, the advertising will increase interest, and business will pick up. Riding the bike is faster than traveling on foot (even with the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Running Shoes}}), and he gains new customers - everybody's happy!  The only downside is that your partner Pokémon can't keep up with you on the bike, and will automatically return to its Poké Ball when you climb onto it.
===Charcoal Kiln===
The house in the southeast part of town houses a charcoal kiln. The owner uses a {{p|Farfetch'd}} to fell trees in [[Ilex Forest]] and obtain the necessary materials. The wood is then treated and turned into [[Charcoal]], which is then supplied to the local Poké Mart for sale.


=== Game Corner ===
===Save the Slowpoke!===
Visit the northwest house and speak to [[Kurt]]. If you were looking to have some custom Poké Balls made, it will have to wait. He informs you that members of a criminal organization known as [[Team Rocket]] have been sighted in [[Slowpoke Well]], even though the group was supposedly disbanded [[Generation III|three years ago]]. The rumor around town is that they have been cutting off [[Slowpoke Tail|SlowpokeTails]] to sell! Kurt was just about to confront them when you stopped by, and rushes off to save the Pokémon.


At [[Goldenrod Game Corner]], you can win coins by playing the new [[Voltorb Flip]] game.  Speak to Mr Game behind the table to receive the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Coin Case}}. The Voltorb Flip game is exclusive to non-Japanese versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, replacing the slot machines present in the original versions.  The game features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath of which are hidden numbers (which multiply the player's score when flipped) and Voltorb (which Selfdestruct and cause the player to lose all points). You can easily figure out where the Voltorb are located by using the clues provided: the number of Voltorb in each row and column are noted at the side of the screen.  If you can find all of the and 3× multipliers, the game will advance to harder levels.  Winning at this game, as all others, will earn the player Coins, which can be traded for prizes.

===Slowpoke Well===
The [[Slowpoke Well]] is located on the east side of town, near {{rt|33|Johto}}. The cave is home to the town's {{p|Slowpoke}}, which are kept as pets. Legend has it that around 400 years ago, one of the Slowpoke from the well yawned, and in doing so ended a persistent drought that plagued [[Azalea Town]].

=== Bill's house ===


[[Bill]], the inventor of the Pokémon PC Storage system, lives on the city's western coast with his mother and sister. He is currently away on business in [[Ecruteak City]], but his sister will give you his phone number.  This is a useful way to check how many Pokémon that you have stored in the current box.  After meeting him in Ecruteak, he returns home to Goldenrod.  Stop by his house afterwards and he will give you a {{p|Eevee|rare Pokémon}}.
====Entrance====
[[Kurt]] can be found just inside the well. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} that was blocking the entrance was so startled when Kurt shouted at him that he fell down the well. Kurt tried to give chase but lost his footing as well, landing hard on his back. He cannot move for the moment, so you need to save the {{p|Slowpoke}} in his place.  


====B1F====
Go north to find and defeat that first Grunt. Climb onto the northeast ridge to pick up a [[Super Potion]] and battle a female Grunt. Walk down the stairway and go west to fight a third Grunt. Head north past a couple of captive Slowpoke to battle an {{tc|Executive}}, the one in charge of the operation. Speak to him, and he claims to often be considered the scariest and cruelest guy in [[Team Rocket]]. He urges you not to interfere in their business, and draws you into battle.

The [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] is a tunnel stretching north-south under the western part of the city, with a small access hallway leading to the basement of the Department Store.  During the week, the kiosks rotate between a salon, herbalist, and discount item shop.

* The Pokémon Salon, the center shop, is operated by two brothers.  Their services will raise a Pokémon's friendship, though at different rates.  The younger brother{{dotw|Sunday}}{{dotw|Wednesday}}{{dotw|Friday}} charges {{PDollar}}300, and the older brother{{dotw|Tuesday}}{{dotw|Thursday}}{{dotw|Saturday}} charges {{PDollar}}500.  Neither brother works on a Monday.


* The Herb Shop, the southernmost shop, sells medicinal herbs that heal or revive Pokémon and are cheaper than their Poké Mart counterparts. The downside to this is that Pokémon do not enjoy these bitter herbs, so their friendship rating will decrease slightly as a result. This shop is only open on weekends.
Defeated, [[Proton]] admits that [[Team Rocket]] continued its activities in secret after the order to disband three years ago. He expresses little worry about you interfering in the group's work, but advises you to be very afraid of what they have planned. The Grunts flee, and [[Kurt]] is on his feet again. After checking on the two {{p|Slowpoke}}, he takes you back to his home.


===Kurt, the Craftsman===
[[Kurt]] commends you for saving the town's {{p|Slowpoke}}. As he mentioned before, he explains that [[Team Rocket]] was broken up three years ago by a boy named {{ga|Red}}. Knowing that the group is active again leaves him with a bad feeling. He tries to set his worries aside for the moment, and offers to make custom Poké Balls for you anytime. He only has one spare Poké Ball right now, and gives you a [[Fast Ball]] as thanks for saving the {{p|Slowpoke}}. If you have collected any [[Apricorn]]s by this point, Kurt will immediately notice and offer to turn them into Poké Balls.

''The [[Apricorn Box]] screen opens automatically, allowing you to choose an [[Apricorn]] variety to give to Kurt. He only accepts one variety at a time, but has no restriction on quantity. Any Apricorn(s) given to him will be processed into the resulting Poké Ball(s) by the next day.''

Afterward, his granddaughter gives you his phone number.


The north end of the tunnel houses two new venues, the Dress-Up Shop and the Memorial Photo Studio.  The Dress-Up Shop lets Trainers dress up their Pokémon with [[accessories]] before taking their photo; the Photo Studio lets a Trainer dress up in a Team Rocket uniform before taking a picture of them and their Pokémon.
There are seven varieties of Apricorn, each suited for a different type of Poké Ball.

=== Name Rater ===


The [[Name Rater]] lives in the house to the west of the [[Goldenrod Gym]].  Like his counterpart in Lavender Town, the Name Rater evaluates a Pokémon's nickname, and gives Trainers the opportunity to think up new nicknames for them unless they were received in a trade, as they cannot be renamed.

There are {{DL|Friendship|Evolutions|certain Pokémon}}, like {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, that can only evolve when a Pokémon reaches a certain level of friendship. The woman in the house near the Bike Shop will evaluate the friendship rating of a Trainer's first Pokémon. There are many things that a Trainer can do in order to raise a Pokémon's friendship, like [[Haircut brothers|grooming it]], using [[vitamins]] on it, or simply walking with the Pokémon.


=== Global Terminal ===
The [[Azalea Gym]] specializes in {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. Bug-type moves are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, while Bug-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves.
[[File:Global Terminal exterior HGSS.png|thumb|Global Terminal]]


The [[Global Terminal]] is the worldwide network over which players can interact in different ways via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In order to access the terminal, players must have the the first badge of Johto. The Global Trade Station lets a player send and receive Pokémon on the worldwide network. If the player talks with the woman at the counter, she will direct them into a room in which they can either put up a Pokémon to be traded or trade a Pokémon they own for one that has been put up for trade.
The Gym features two large gaps in the floor, with a series of rails that mimic the appearance of spiderwebs crossing over them. In order to cross these gaps, challengers must board {{p|Spinarak}}-themed karts to ride along the rails. The kart will always make the first possible turn, but challengers can flip several switches to engage or disengage sections of rail to alter the kart's path. Step on the left-most kart to reach the center area and battle Bug Catcher Benny. Ride the next kart over the second gap to battle Twins Amy & Mimi in the northwest part of the building. Flip the blue switch nearby to disengage the blue rail, allowing the kart to reach the west-central area. Flip the red switch to disengage the red rail and ride the kart one last time to reach the [[Gym Leader]].


=== Radio Tower ===
[[Bugsy]] leads with {{p|Scyther}}, his strongest Pokémon due to its high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}. {{m|U-turn}} is a strong {{type|Bug}} attack that deals serious damage to {{type|Grass}} Pokémon like {{p|Chikorita}}. Neither of Bugsy's other two Pokémon are much of a threat, though {{p|Kakuna}} may {{status|poison}} its target with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Bug Pokémon can do little against the high Defense of {{type|Rock}} Pokémon; if you traded for the boy's {{p|Onix}} in [[Violet City]], counterattack with {{m|Rock Throw}} for an easy victory.


Step inside the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] by the [[Magnet Train|train station]].  Felicity, the woman at the computer, allows Trainers to draw a lottery ticket, and hands out prizes if any numbers match the Trainer's ID number.  Speak to the third woman behind the counter to participate in a quiz to earn the {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|Radio Card}} for your Pokégear.  After completing the quiz, the [[Whitney|pink-haired girl]] nearby will return to her post at the Gym.  Talk to [[Buena|DJ Buena]] on the second floor to get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Blue Card}}, which lets you play the Buena's Password game everyday to earn points to trade for items.

=== Magnet Train Station ===


Next to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] is the [[Magnet Train|Magnet Train Station]].  Currently shut down, this bullet train normally [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between Johto's {{ci|Goldenrod}} and Kanto's {{ci|Saffron}} twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.  This is the quickest way to travel from one region to the other, since the only other method (sailing aboard the [[S.S. Aqua]] between {{ci|Olivine}} and {{ci|Vermilion}}) runs much less frequently, making the Magnet Train the ideal method of transportation.

=== Goldenrod Dept Store ===
[[File:Goldenrod Department Store HGSS.png|thumb|Goldenrod Dept Store]]


Located just east of the Poké Center, the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] is the largest shop in Johto (eight floors counting the rooftop and basement), and has a wide array of items on sale.
After the battle, [[Bugsy]] awards you the {{badge|Hive}}, which ensures obedience of all Pokémon up to level 30 and enables the use of {{m|Cut}} in the field. He also gives you {{TM|89|U-turn}} as a prize.


==== Basement ====
===Ambush!===
When you reach the west side of town, {{ga|Silver}} catches up to you. He asks if it is true that [[Team Rocket]] has returned, and accuses you of lying after learning that you defeated them. He draws you into battle to force you to prove yourself.


While there are no shops in the basement, you can take the elevator downstairs to find an Ultra Ball, a Burn Heal, and an Ether lying around.
===Rival Battle 2===
{{ga|Silver}} has added two more Pokémon to his team since the previous battle. {{p|Gastly}} takes serious damage from {{t|Ghost}}-, {{t|Psychic}}-, and {{type|Dark}} attacks, but its defenses are low enough that attacks of nearly any type will be effective. Ghost Pokémon are immune to {{type|Normal}} moves, so moves like {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Scratch}} are useless. {{p|Zubat}} is vulnerable to {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Electric}} moves, among others. Use the {{p|Onix}} from [[Violet City]], or a {{p|Mareep}} from {{rt|32|Johto}}, for an easy knockout. The Pokémon that he took from {{prof|Elm}}'s lab has evolved since then and learned a move that matches its type, which boosts its power with a [[same-type attack bonus]]. Avoid pitting your own [[first partner Pokémon]] against it or risk taking serious damage.

==== 6F - Rooftop Atrium ====


Like at the [[Celadon Department Store]], the <b>Rooftop Atrium</b> houses vending machines that dispense drinks that heal a Pokémon's health.  There's also a raffle that can be entered for {{PDollar}}300, with a chance to win either a Berry, a certain type of Poké Ball, or a TM (selection changes depending on the day of the week).  
===Flight of the Farfetch'd===
The apprentice from {{to|Azalea}}'s Charcoal Kiln can be found a short distance from the southern entrance, and stops you when you approach. He tells you that the two {{p|Farfetch'd}} that cut down trees to be turned into [[Charcoal]] have wandered deeper into the forest. He explains that Farfetch'd have sensitive ears, and will turn toward the sound if you step on a branch. He is too scared of the dark forest to move, so it is up to you to find them. Farfetch'd are startled easily, and approaching them from the wrong direction will only chase them deeper into the forest.


{| class="expandable" align="center" style="background: #{{soulsilver color light}}; -moz-border-radius: 1em; border: 5px solid #{{heartgold color light}};"
* The first duck is located a short distance to the east, at the southwest corner of a large grove of trees. Step on the pile of branches to the south of the Pokémon to draw its attention, then circle around the trees to approach it from behind.
|- align="center"
* The second duck is located in the southeast part of the forest, at the northwest corner of the second grove. Take the easternmost path and step on either pile of branches to the east of Farfetch'd to draw its attention. Circle around and approach it from the south to chase it to the grove with three trees. Loop back around and step on the easternmost pile of branches. Circle around the three-tree grove to approach it from behind.

The boy thanks you for your help, explaining that neither {{p|Farfetch'd}} will listen to him as he has no [[Badge]]s. His boss arrives a moment later. Seeing his two Pokémon, Far and Fetch'd, returned safely, he rewards you with {{HM|01|Cut}} as thanks for saving his business. Teach this field move to a compatible Pokémon and use it to remove the small tree nearby, clearing a path forward. If you return to the Charcoal Kiln, the apprentice will reward you with a piece of [[Charcoal]].


With so many supplies at their disposal, Trainers should have little trouble at the [[Goldenrod Gym]].
===Shake, Rattle, and Roll===
Southeast of the pond, there is a man standing atop a ledge, facing one of the trees. When you approach, you witness him aggresively attack the tree. Speak to him, and he explains that he has been shaking trees with {{m|Headbutt}}, and invites you to try it as well before offering to [[Move Tutor|teach the move]] to one of your Pokémon. This field move allows Trainers to shake [[Headbutt tree|this type of tree]], which sometimes causes a wild Pokémon to fall out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon that appears may be {{status|asleep}}. There are {{p|Pineco|several}} {{p|Aipom|Pokémon}} {{p|Heracross|species}} that can only be encountered this way.


===Goldenrod Gym===
===The Mysterious Girl===
[[File:Goldenrod Gym HGSS.png|thumb|Goldenrod Gym]]
When you approach the northern ledge, you find the same [[Kimono Girl|mysterious kimono-clad girl]], apparently lost in the dark forest. She says that you must be imagining things if you recognize her from [[Violet City]], and asks if you will show her the way out of the forest. She questions if you really know the direction to the exit, so your partner Pokémon moves a short distance westward to show the way. She compliments the Pokémon before continuing onward.

The [[Goldenrod Gym]] is devoted to {{type|Normal}}.  Trainers would do well to bring {{type|Fighting}}s along, since they are the only type to get a power bonus when battling Normal-types. Unless you've traded for the guy's {{p|Machop}} in the Dept Store, this could be a rough battle. The Gym's layout is much the same as it was in Gold and Silver, but challengers must now navigate over and around the raised platforms in order to reach [[Whitney]].
{{rt|34|Johto}} is a lush, green path that runs along the sea from [[Ilex Forest]] to [[Goldenrod City]]. [[Johto]]'s [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care]] center is located on the north side.

After defeating her, Whitney sobs uncontrollably, ignoring you altogether.  Unable to receive your new badge, the frustrated Trainer turns to leave when one of the junior Trainers stops you. She speaks to Whitney, and the Gym Leader finally gives up the {{badge|Plain}} (which gives a Speed boost to a Trainer's Pokémon), {{TM|45|Attract}}, and the ability to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Whitney will also mentions that the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] is now open, so now you can compete in the games there.
===Pokémon Day Care===
The [[Pokémon Day Care]] allows Trainers to leave up to two of their Pokémon to be raised by the couple. Any Pokémon left in their care earns one [[Experience|experience point]] for every step you take. It costs a flat rate of {{pdollar}}100, plus another {{pdollar}}100 for every level gained, to withdraw a Pokémon.


=== Goldenrod Flower Shop ===
If a [[Egg Group|compatible]] male and female are left here at the same time, you may return to discover that the elderly couple has found an [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]]. Keep the Egg in your party, like with the [[Mystery Egg]], and it will eventually hatch. The Pokémon that appears will be the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. If either parent is unavailable, {{p|Ditto}} may be used as a substitute; in this case, the newly-hatched Pokémon will be the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the non-Ditto parent. This is the only way to obtain additional members of a certain species, like {{p|Eevee}}, and {{cat|baby Pokémon}}, like {{p|Pichu}}.


After beating Whitney, stop by the flower shop just east of the Gym.  The woman inside talks about an odd tree on {{rt|36|Johto}} that actually squirms around to <i>avoid</i> contact with water.  An oddity, but Trainers strong enough to defeat the Goldenrod Gym should have no trouble approaching it.  She gives you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Squirtbottle}} to instigate it, hoping to discover what it really is.  Return here after obtaining the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}, and the woman who gave you the SquirtBottle will be offering [[Mulch]] for sale.
When you leave the building, the old man gives you the phone numbers for both him and his wife, so that you can call to check up on any Pokémon that they might be raising for you.

Latest revision as of 05:15, 20 July 2024

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
These pages follow the remade Nintendo DS iteration, not Pokémon Gold and Silver. The guide for those games can be found here.


Azalea Town

Azalea Town

Azalea is a small, isolated town on the south end of Johto's peninsula. Due to its remote location between Union Cave and Ilex Forest, the town sees few visitors aside from those looking to challenge the Azalea Gym. A Poké Ball craftsman named Kurt lives in the northwest part of town. The Slowpoke Well is located in the east, and its resident Slowpoke freely wander around town.


The Man in Black

When you approach the Slowpoke Well on the east side of town, you see a man dressed in black harassing one of the residents. He identifies himself as a member of Team Rocket. After admitting that the group had disbanded once before, he claims that it has been revived in order to pursue Giovanni's goals. He shoves the man, who hurries back into town, before moving into position to block off the well. If spoken to, he says that the well is unsafe and he is simply guarding it so that no one hurts themselves.

Charcoal Kiln

The house in the southeast part of town houses a charcoal kiln. The owner uses a Farfetch'd to fell trees in Ilex Forest and obtain the necessary materials. The wood is then treated and turned into Charcoal, which is then supplied to the local Poké Mart for sale.

Save the Slowpoke!

Visit the northwest house and speak to Kurt. If you were looking to have some custom Poké Balls made, it will have to wait. He informs you that members of a criminal organization known as Team Rocket have been sighted in Slowpoke Well, even though the group was supposedly disbanded three years ago. The rumor around town is that they have been cutting off SlowpokeTails to sell! Kurt was just about to confront them when you stopped by, and rushes off to save the Pokémon.

Slowpoke Well, Entrance
Slowpoke Well, B1F
Slowpoke Well, B2F

Slowpoke Well

The Slowpoke Well is located on the east side of town, near Route 33. The cave is home to the town's Slowpoke, which are kept as pets. Legend has it that around 400 years ago, one of the Slowpoke from the well yawned, and in doing so ended a persistent drought that plagued Azalea Town.


Entrance

Kurt can be found just inside the well. The Team Rocket Grunt that was blocking the entrance was so startled when Kurt shouted at him that he fell down the well. Kurt tried to give chase but lost his footing as well, landing hard on his back. He cannot move for the moment, so you need to save the Slowpoke in his place.

B1F

Go north to find and defeat that first Grunt. Climb onto the northeast ridge to pick up a Super Potion and battle a female Grunt. Walk down the stairway and go west to fight a third Grunt. Head north past a couple of captive Slowpoke to battle an Executive, the one in charge of the operation. Speak to him, and he claims to often be considered the scariest and cruelest guy in Team Rocket. He urges you not to interfere in their business, and draws you into battle.

VS Proton



Defeated, Proton admits that Team Rocket continued its activities in secret after the order to disband three years ago. He expresses little worry about you interfering in the group's work, but advises you to be very afraid of what they have planned. The Grunts flee, and Kurt is on his feet again. After checking on the two Slowpoke, he takes you back to his home.

Kurt, the Craftsman

Kurt commends you for saving the town's Slowpoke. As he mentioned before, he explains that Team Rocket was broken up three years ago by a boy named Red. Knowing that the group is active again leaves him with a bad feeling. He tries to set his worries aside for the moment, and offers to make custom Poké Balls for you anytime. He only has one spare Poké Ball right now, and gives you a Fast Ball as thanks for saving the Slowpoke. If you have collected any Apricorns by this point, Kurt will immediately notice and offer to turn them into Poké Balls.

The Apricorn Box screen opens automatically, allowing you to choose an Apricorn variety to give to Kurt. He only accepts one variety at a time, but has no restriction on quantity. Any Apricorn(s) given to him will be processed into the resulting Poké Ball(s) by the next day.

Afterward, his granddaughter gives you his phone number.

There are seven varieties of Apricorn, each suited for a different type of Poké Ball.

Apricorn Ball Effect
Black Apricorn Blk Apricorn Heavy Ball Heavy Ball More effective against heavier Pokémon.
Blue Apricorn Blu Apricorn Lure Ball Lure Ball More effective against Pokémon hooked by a fishing rod.
Green Apricorn Grn Apricorn Friend Ball Friend Ball Makes a Pokémon more friendly. Affects certain moves and evolutions.
Pink Apricorn Pnk Apricorn Love Ball Love Ball More effective against Pokémon of the same species but opposite gender of the active Pokémon.
Red Apricorn Red Apricorn Level Ball Level Ball More effective when target's level is lower and active Pokémon's level is higher.
White Apricorn Wht Apricorn Fast Ball Fast Ball More effective against species with a high base Speed.
Yellow Apricorn Ylw Apricorn Moon Ball Moon Ball More effective against Pokémon whose evolutionary line includes a Pokémon that evolves by Moon Stone.


Azalea Gym

Azalea Gym
Azalea Town Pokémon Gym
Leader: Bugsy

The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia


The Azalea Gym specializes in Bug-type Pokémon. Bug-type moves are super effective against Dark-, Grass-, and Psychic-type Pokémon, while Bug-type Pokémon are weak to Fire-, Flying-, and Rock-type moves.

The Gym features two large gaps in the floor, with a series of rails that mimic the appearance of spiderwebs crossing over them. In order to cross these gaps, challengers must board Spinarak-themed karts to ride along the rails. The kart will always make the first possible turn, but challengers can flip several switches to engage or disengage sections of rail to alter the kart's path. Step on the left-most kart to reach the center area and battle Bug Catcher Benny. Ride the next kart over the second gap to battle Twins Amy & Mimi in the northwest part of the building. Flip the blue switch nearby to disengage the blue rail, allowing the kart to reach the west-central area. Flip the red switch to disengage the red rail and ride the kart one last time to reach the Gym Leader.

Bugsy leads with Scyther, his strongest Pokémon due to its high Attack and Speed. U-turn is a strong Bug-type attack that deals serious damage to Grass-type Pokémon like Chikorita. Neither of Bugsy's other two Pokémon are much of a threat, though Kakuna may poison its target with Poison Sting. Bug Pokémon can do little against the high Defense of Rock-type Pokémon; if you traded for the boy's Onix in Violet City, counterattack with Rock Throw for an easy victory.

Azalea Gym
Hive Badge





After the battle, Bugsy awards you the Hive Badge, which ensures obedience of all Pokémon up to level 30 and enables the use of Cut in the field. He also gives you TM89 (U-turn) as a prize.

Ambush!

When you reach the west side of town, Silver catches up to you. He asks if it is true that Team Rocket has returned, and accuses you of lying after learning that you defeated them. He draws you into battle to force you to prove yourself.

Rival Battle 2

Silver has added two more Pokémon to his team since the previous battle. Gastly takes serious damage from Ghost-, Psychic-, and Dark-type attacks, but its defenses are low enough that attacks of nearly any type will be effective. Ghost Pokémon are immune to Normal-type moves, so moves like Tackle and Scratch are useless. Zubat is vulnerable to Rock- and Electric-type moves, among others. Use the Onix from Violet City, or a Mareep from Route 32, for an easy knockout. The Pokémon that he took from Elm's lab has evolved since then and learned a move that matches its type, which boosts its power with a same-type attack bonus. Avoid pitting your own first partner Pokémon against it or risk taking serious damage.

Chikorita If the player chose Chikorita:




Cyndaquil If the player chose Cyndaquil:




Totodile If the player chose Totodile:




Afterward, he declares his hatred for anything weak, be it human or Pokémon. Silver vows to get stronger and wipe out the weak, including Team Rocket. He warns you to stay out of his way before leaving for Ilex Forest.

Ilex Forest

Ilex Forest

Ilex Forest is a densely wooded area between Azalea Town and Route 34. Trees grow so close together that most sunlight never reaches the forest floor, leaving the area in what seems like perpetual night. A shrine dedicated to the forest's protector is located a short distance from the southern entrance.


Flight of the Farfetch'd

The apprentice from Azalea's Charcoal Kiln can be found a short distance from the southern entrance, and stops you when you approach. He tells you that the two Farfetch'd that cut down trees to be turned into Charcoal have wandered deeper into the forest. He explains that Farfetch'd have sensitive ears, and will turn toward the sound if you step on a branch. He is too scared of the dark forest to move, so it is up to you to find them. Farfetch'd are startled easily, and approaching them from the wrong direction will only chase them deeper into the forest.

  • The first duck is located a short distance to the east, at the southwest corner of a large grove of trees. Step on the pile of branches to the south of the Pokémon to draw its attention, then circle around the trees to approach it from behind.
  • The second duck is located in the southeast part of the forest, at the northwest corner of the second grove. Take the easternmost path and step on either pile of branches to the east of Farfetch'd to draw its attention. Circle around and approach it from the south to chase it to the grove with three trees. Loop back around and step on the easternmost pile of branches. Circle around the three-tree grove to approach it from behind.

The boy thanks you for your help, explaining that neither Farfetch'd will listen to him as he has no Badges. His boss arrives a moment later. Seeing his two Pokémon, Far and Fetch'd, returned safely, he rewards you with HM01 (Cut) as thanks for saving his business. Teach this field move to a compatible Pokémon and use it to remove the small tree nearby, clearing a path forward. If you return to the Charcoal Kiln, the apprentice will reward you with a piece of Charcoal.

Shake, Rattle, and Roll

Southeast of the pond, there is a man standing atop a ledge, facing one of the trees. When you approach, you witness him aggresively attack the tree. Speak to him, and he explains that he has been shaking trees with Headbutt, and invites you to try it as well before offering to teach the move to one of your Pokémon. This field move allows Trainers to shake this type of tree, which sometimes causes a wild Pokémon to fall out. Depending on the time of day, the Pokémon that appears may be asleep. There are several Pokémon species that can only be encountered this way.

The Mysterious Girl

When you approach the northern ledge, you find the same mysterious kimono-clad girl, apparently lost in the dark forest. She says that you must be imagining things if you recognize her from Violet City, and asks if you will show her the way out of the forest. She questions if you really know the direction to the exit, so your partner Pokémon moves a short distance westward to show the way. She compliments the Pokémon before continuing onward.

Route 34

Route 34

Route 34 is a lush, green path that runs along the sea from Ilex Forest to Goldenrod City. Johto's Day Care center is located on the north side.


Meet the Grandparents

When you approach the Pokémon Day Care building, Lyra/Ethan and Marill are just arriving. She/He visits with their grandfather and thanks the elderly man for raising one of their Pokémon, and then notices your presence. She/He introduces you to the man before leading you inside the building, where you are introduced to their grandmother. As she/he turns to leave, your friend gives you their phone number.

Pokémon Day Care

The Pokémon Day Care allows Trainers to leave up to two of their Pokémon to be raised by the couple. Any Pokémon left in their care earns one experience point for every step you take. It costs a flat rate of $100, plus another $100 for every level gained, to withdraw a Pokémon.

If a compatible male and female are left here at the same time, you may return to discover that the elderly couple has found an Egg. Keep the Egg in your party, like with the Mystery Egg, and it will eventually hatch. The Pokémon that appears will be the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. If either parent is unavailable, Ditto may be used as a substitute; in this case, the newly-hatched Pokémon will be the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the non-Ditto parent. This is the only way to obtain additional members of a certain species, like Eevee, and baby Pokémon, like Pichu.

When you leave the building, the old man gives you the phone numbers for both him and his wife, so that you can call to check up on any Pokémon that they might be raising for you.
