==Return to New Bark==
==Indigo Plateau==
Congratulations, you are now the Indigo League Champion! That marks you as the strongest Trainer in all of [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]].
[[File:Indigo Plateau Center HGSS.png|thumb|150px|Indigo Plateau]]


After the credits roll, you wind up back home in {{to|New Bark}}. {{prof|Elm}} calls shortly after, asking you to visit the lab. Swing by to get the {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}}, a pass to board the [[S.S. Aqua]] in [[Olivine City]]. Head to the harbor to set sail for [[Vermilion City]]!
The [[Indigo Plateau]] serves as the capital for the [[Pokémon League]] in the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. This is where the Trainers who have defeated all eight [[Gym Leader]]s in either region battle against the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]. The entrance hall's lower level holds a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart, allowing challengers to prepare themselves and their Pokémon for the gauntlet ahead. The Pokémon Wireless Club Union Room and the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum are located on the middle level. The Elite Four is a group of talented Pokémon Trainers second only to the Champion in terms of power, and must be fought in succession with no break. These five battles will not be easy, but challengers who bring their strongest Pokémon and a healthy supply of Potions and Revives may finally find themselves in the [[Hall of Fame]].


==Olivine City==
{| style="margin: auto;"
===Olivine Port===
|
Enter the Olivine Port building to meet with [[Professor Oak]], who upgrades your Pokédex to the [[National Pokédex|National mode]]. This makes it possible to challenge the Gym Leaders to a rematch, participate in the {{jo|Battle Frontier}}, and encounter wild Pokémon from [[Hoenn|far-off]] [[Sinnoh|regions]]. In addition, [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] now details information regarding [[Pokémon outbreak|Pokémon swarms]]. Present your {{key|IV|S.S. Ticket}} to the Sailor to gain access to the harbor. As you leave the building, [[Baoba]] calls to inform you of the {{safari|Johto}}'s new Object Arrangement feature.

==Fast Ship S.S. Aqua==
[[File:SS Aqua 1F HGSS.png|thumb|300px|S.S. Aqua, 1F]]
[[File:SS Aqua B1F HGSS.png|thumb|300px|S.S. Aqua, B1F]]


Upon boarding the ship, a frantic old man runs into you. His granddaughter is missing, and he asks for your help before running off. Luckily, there are only so many places where she could be on the ship. Before starting the search, check your cabin at the east end of the hallway; it has a PC and a cozy bed to rest in, which is important to have with so many Trainers on board.
===Elite Four===
====Battle 1====
[[File:Will Room HGSS.png|thumb|150px|Will's room]]


{| class="expandable" style="margin: auto; background: #{{locationcolor/med|ocean}}; {{roundy}}; border: 5px solid #{{locationcolor/light|ocean}};"
The first member of the Elite Four is [[Will]], a master of {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. Psychic-type moves are super effective against {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, while Psychic-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Dark}}-, and {{type|Ghost}} moves.
|- align="center"
 
! Trainers
Both of Will's {{p|Xatu}} can use {{m|Confuse Ray}} to harass their target. In addition to Ghost- and Dark-type moves, they both sustain serious damage from {{type|Electric}} attacks, as does his {{p|Slowbro}}. Its {{m|Amnesia}} move raises its {{stat|Special Defense}}, so use [[physical move]]s to target its physical Defense, instead. Bug and Fire attacks work well against both {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Jynx}}.

===Upper deck===
Defeating Will opens the door to the second room.
The first cabin to the right contains a sleeping Sailor. Your cabin is located next door, and Firebreather Lyle occupies the cabin across the hall. The fourth cabin on the right side is empty.


The first cabin to the left is occupied by Hiker Noland. The cabin to the left is empty. The cabin across the hall belongs to the worried grandfather, and the fourth cabin on the left side contains Pokéfan Colin and his daughters, Twins Meg & Peg.
{{-}}
====Battle 2====
[[File:Koga Room HGSS.png|thumb|150px|Koga's room]]


===Lower deck===
The second member of the Elite Four is [[Koga]], a master of {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, and former [[Gym Leader]] from [[Kanto]]'s [[Fuchsia City]]. Poison-type moves are super effective against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, while Poison-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type|Psychic}} moves.
The crew's rest area is located to the left of the stairs, while the dining area is located to the right. Beyond that is the engine room. The Sailor on guard duty asks you to find his replacement for the next shift. Head back to the entrance to find Stanly, the snoozing Sailor in the cabin next to yours. He springs awake when you confront him, and challenges you to a battle. Put him in his place, and he runs off. Go back downstairs and you are free to progress past him. Climb the ladder up to the captain's cabin.


===Captain's cabin===
As [[Koga]] is a master ninja, his team makes use of poisoning and confusion to wear down their target. {{type|Psychic}} attacks will be the most useful, as they deal serious damage to four of his five Pokémon. {{t|Rock}} moves are useful against his {{p|Ariados}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, and {{p|Crobat}}, and all three of his {{t|Bug}} Pokémon are also vulnerable to {{t|Fire}} attacks. Watch out for {{p|Forretress}}' {{m|Explosion}}, and be sure to bring healing items to cure any Pokémon suffering from the effects of poison.
The little girl is with the Captain, safe but bored, and keeps trying to get him to play. When you talk to her, she insists on playing a game of hide-and-seek. You'll find her on the lower deck, in a dark corner past the crew's rest area. Take her back to her grandfather's cabin, and he rewards you with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}, a power-up for {{type|Steel}} attacks and an essential part of {{p|Steelix|certain}} {{p|Scizor|trade}} evolutions. Just then, the captain announces that the ship has docked in Vermilion Harbor, and passengers may now disembark.


==Vermilion City==
{| style="margin: auto;"
[[File:Vermilion City HGSS.png|thumb|300px|Vermilion City]]
 
[[Vermilion City]] has not changed much over the past [[Generation III|three years]]. A sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} blocks the path to the east, and the old man is still clearing the ground for construction with his {{p|Machop}}. Landmarks include the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] and [[Vermilion Gym]].

===A Legendary Sighting===
Defeating Koga opens the door to the third room.
As you proceed along the pathway from the harbor, you find {{p|Suicune}} standing on the water to the east. It runs off as soon as you spot it, and [[Eusine]] appears again. He talks about noticing a pattern before he leaves as well.
 
{{-}}
====Battle 3====
[[File:Bruno Room HGSS.png|thumb|150px|Bruno's room]]


===Pokémon Fan Club===
The third member of the Elite Four is [[Bruno]], a master of {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. Fighting-type moves are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, while Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Flying}}- and {{type|Psychic}} moves.
Listen to the Chairman's long story about his prized {{p|Rapidash}}, and he gives you a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} for sticking around through the whole thing. Take note of the guy with the {{p|Clefairy}}; it is actually a {{DL|Battle item|Poké Doll}} that will need to be returned to its owner later.


===Vermilion Gym===
{{type|Psychic}} attacks will do well against four of [[Bruno]]'s five Pokémon. {{type|Flying}} attacks are equally useful, but {{p|Machamp}} can fight back against Flying Pokémon with {{m|Rock Slide}}. {{p|Hitmonchan}} can do the same with {{m|Ice Punch}} and {{m|Thunder Punch|ThunderPunch}}. As a {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon, not only is {{p|Onix}} the only one of Bruno's team that is not {{t|Fighting}} type, but it is also the only one to sustain massive damage from both {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Grass}} attacks.

The [[Vermilion Gym]] specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, so avoid using {{t|Water}} or {{t|Flying}} Pokémon. Conversely, {{t|Ground}} Pokémon are not only immune to electrical attacks, but their Ground-type attacks inflict serious damage on Electric Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge]] has installed two switches, each hidden in a different trash can. When you find the first, the second is always in an adjacent trash can. If you flip the first but not the second, the trap resets. When both switches are flipped, the electrical barrier that separates you from the Gym Leader is disabled.


Lt. Surge's {{p|Raichu}} tends to use {{m|Double Team}}, which can quickly make it difficult to hit. Raichu and one of his {{p|Electrode}} can {{status|paralyze}} their target with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, so bring along a few {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}}s. Take care when facing his {{p|Magneton}}; its {{m|Mirror Shot}} attack, a {{type|Steel}} move, will deal serious damage to {{t|Rock}} Pokémon like {{p|Geodude}} or {{p|Onix}}. Most of his Pokémon have the {{a|Static}} Ability, so use non-contact moves like {{m|Earthquake}}.
Defeating Bruno opens the door to the fourth room.

The fourth member of the Elite Four is [[Karen]], a master of {{type|Dark}} Pokémon. Dark-type moves are super effective against {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, while Dark-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Bug}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves.


With its high defenses and [[status move]]s to hinder its target, {{p|Umbreon}} can be difficult to take down. If its {{stat|Speed}} is low enough to move second, {{m|Payback}}'s power is doubled. {{type|Ice}} moves are effective against {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Murkrow}}, while Murkrow and {{p|Houndoom}} also take serious damage from {{t|Rock}} attacks. Use {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Dark}} moves against {{p|Gengar}}, but avoid using Dark Pokémon as it can retaliate with {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Defeated, [[Lt. Surge]] awards you the {{badge|Thunder}}, and hands out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}} as a prize.
[[Lance]] congratulates you for defeating the Pokémon League, and compliments you on growing so much with your Pokémon. He is soon interrupted by [[DJ Mary]], who rushes in for an interview. She would have been here sooner, but [[Professor Oak]] is not as quick as he was in his younger days. He applauds your victory, saying that your Pokémon won because they believed in you as a Trainer. Mary tries again for an interview, but Lance steps in and leads you to the next room.
 
===Hall of Fame===
The [[Hall of Fame]] is where all victorious Trainers and their dedicated Pokémon will be recorded, as a testament to their power and perseverance. [[Lance]] remarks that it has been a long time sine he was last here, and goes on to explain the large machine. He then activates it, officially recording both you and your Pokémon as the latest inductees into the Hall of Fame.
 
The game is saved, a slideshow of your victorious Pokémon plays, and the credits roll.

Latest revision as of 16:20, 28 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.


Indigo Plateau

Indigo Plateau

The Indigo Plateau serves as the capital for the Pokémon League in the Johto and Kanto regions. This is where the Trainers who have defeated all eight Gym Leaders in either region battle against the Elite Four and the Champion. The entrance hall's lower level holds a Pokémon Center and a Poké Mart, allowing challengers to prepare themselves and their Pokémon for the gauntlet ahead. The Pokémon Wireless Club Union Room and the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum are located on the middle level. The Elite Four is a group of talented Pokémon Trainers second only to the Champion in terms of power, and must be fought in succession with no break. These five battles will not be easy, but challengers who bring their strongest Pokémon and a healthy supply of Potions and Revives may finally find themselves in the Hall of Fame.

Poké Mart


Elite Four

Battle 1

Will's room

The first member of the Elite Four is Will, a master of Psychic-type Pokémon. Psychic-type moves are super effective against Fighting- and Poison-type Pokémon, while Psychic-type Pokémon are weak to Bug-, Dark-, and Ghost-type moves.

Both of Will's Xatu can use Confuse Ray to harass their target. In addition to Ghost- and Dark-type moves, they both sustain serious damage from Electric-type attacks, as does his Slowbro. Its Amnesia move raises its Special Defense, so use physical moves to target its physical Defense, instead. Bug and Fire attacks work well against both Exeggutor and Jynx.




Defeating Will opens the door to the second room.


Battle 2

Koga's room

The second member of the Elite Four is Koga, a master of Poison-type Pokémon, and former Gym Leader from Kanto's Fuchsia City. Poison-type moves are super effective against Grass-type Pokémon, while Poison-type Pokémon are weak to Ground- and Psychic-type moves.

As Koga is a master ninja, his team makes use of poisoning and confusion to wear down their target. Psychic-type attacks will be the most useful, as they deal serious damage to four of his five Pokémon. Rock moves are useful against his Ariados, Venomoth, and Crobat, and all three of his Bug Pokémon are also vulnerable to Fire attacks. Watch out for Forretress' Explosion, and be sure to bring healing items to cure any Pokémon suffering from the effects of poison.




Defeating Koga opens the door to the third room.


Battle 3

Bruno's room

The third member of the Elite Four is Bruno, a master of Fighting-type Pokémon. Fighting-type moves are super effective against Dark-, Ice-, Normal-, Rock-, and Steel-type Pokémon, while Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to Flying- and Psychic-type moves.

Psychic-type attacks will do well against four of Bruno's five Pokémon. Flying-type attacks are equally useful, but Machamp can fight back against Flying Pokémon with Rock Slide. Hitmonchan can do the same with Ice Punch and ThunderPunch. As a Rock/Ground Pokémon, not only is Onix the only one of Bruno's team that is not Fighting type, but it is also the only one to sustain massive damage from both Water- and Grass-type attacks.




Defeating Bruno opens the door to the fourth room.


Battle 4

Karen's room

The fourth member of the Elite Four is Karen, a master of Dark-type Pokémon. Dark-type moves are super effective against Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokémon, while Dark-type Pokémon are weak to Bug- and Fighting-type moves.

With its high defenses and status moves to hinder its target, Umbreon can be difficult to take down. If its Speed is low enough to move second, Payback's power is doubled. Ice-type moves are effective against Vileplume and Murkrow, while Murkrow and Houndoom also take serious damage from Rock attacks. Use Ghost- and Dark-type moves against Gengar, but avoid using Dark Pokémon as it can retaliate with Focus Blast.




With the Elite Four defeated, the door to the Champion's room is unlocked. Only one person stands between you and the title of Champion!


Champion

Lance's room
Hall of Fame room

The final opponent turns out to be Lance, the same Dragon Pokémon master who helped defeat Team Rocket. Dragon-type moves are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon, while Dragon-type Pokémon are weak to Dragon- and Ice-type moves.

Lance begins with his Gyarados, which takes massive damage from Electric-type attacks. Charizard has the same problem with Rock moves, while both it and Aerodactyl take serious damage from Water attacks. His three Dragonite each have a powerful move—Thunder, Blizzard, and Fire Blast—to help cover the team's vulnerabilities. However, as Dragon/Flying Pokémon, they fare poorly in the cold and sustain massive damage from Ice-type attacks. All of his Dragonite can use Hyper Beam, so be sure to bring plenty of HP-restoring items!




Lance congratulates you for defeating the Pokémon League, and compliments you on growing so much with your Pokémon. He is soon interrupted by DJ Mary, who rushes in for an interview. She would have been here sooner, but Professor Oak is not as quick as he was in his younger days. He applauds your victory, saying that your Pokémon won because they believed in you as a Trainer. Mary tries again for an interview, but Lance steps in and leads you to the next room.

Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame is where all victorious Trainers and their dedicated Pokémon will be recorded, as a testament to their power and perseverance. Lance remarks that it has been a long time sine he was last here, and goes on to explain the large machine. He then activates it, officially recording both you and your Pokémon as the latest inductees into the Hall of Fame.

The game is saved, a slideshow of your victorious Pokémon plays, and the credits roll.
