Ecruteak City

File:HGSS Ecruteak City.png

Ecruteak City

Welcome to Ecruteak. The city has an air of mystery surrounding it, with all but one of Johto's legendary Pokémon having ties to the area. Upon entering the local Poké Center, Trainers will run into Bill, the inventor of the PC Storage System. The city holds a few unique attractions; the Kimono Dance Theater, and what remains of the twin towers: the Burned Tower in the west, and the Bell Tower in the east.

Bill to the Rescue!

Stop by the Poké Center and you will find Bill. It seems that he has just enabled Wi-Fi capabilities for every Poké Center in Johto. He leaves on his way home to Goldenrod, but pay him a visit sometime to receive an Eevee, a rare Pokémon that can evolve into one of seven variations.

Find that Treasure!

Stop inside the house between the Poké Center and the Gym. Talk to the guy inside, and he'll give you the Dowsing MCHN. This handy machine shows up on the touch screen, and reacts to hidden objects nearby with lights and rapid noise. Use it all over the region, because you never know where you'll find a treasure!

Kimono Dance Theater

As you enter the building, one of the Kimono Girls is on the stage yelling at an intruder that's harassing her. Step up onto the stage and beat the Rocket grunt to scare him off. As you step down from the stage, a member of the audience thanks you for getting rid of the Rocket, and gives you HM03 (Surf). This allows you to swim across any body of water, small or large, after obtaining Ecruteak's Gym badge.

Detour for an HM

Take a quick detour and head east from the city. Grab the TM65 (Shadow Claw) to the north, and walk east towards Mt Mortar's western entrance. When you approach the mountain, a Hiker will run out of the cave, and give you HM04 (Strength), which lets you move small boulders around. Now return to Ecruteak.

The Burned Tower

The site of the charred, crumbling ruins of the Brass Tower is located in the city's northwest district. Now known as the Burned Tower, it was once as majestic as its counterpart, the Bell Tower in the east. Built 700 years ago, it was said to be the roost of an immense, silver-colored Pokémon. However, 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the tower, igniting an intense fire that raged for three days. The silver Pokémon that roosted here, and the glorious, rainbow-colored Pokémon that roosted on the Bell Tower, escaped to the skies unharmed, and a sudden downpour quenched the fire. The silver Pokémon was chased off by the inferno, while the rainbow Pokémon resurrected three nameless Pokémon that perished in the blaze before flying off as well.

Immediately upon entering the tower, you will see two people investigating the ruins. One is Morty, the Ecruteak Gym Leader, and the other is Eusine, Morty's friend. Both are very knowledgeable of the legends that surround the city. Eusine, an expert researcher on the legendary beasts, has even dedicated his life to tracking and meeting Suicune face-to-face. He would appear to be close to his goal, as three regal-looking Pokémon are visible through the charred hole in the floor, standing motionless on the lower level. After the two explain the city's legend, walk to the north to find your rival again.

After battling the rival, you are free to explore the rest of the tower. Fight the two Firebreathers and grab the handful of items on the first floor, and then climb downstairs to the basement. The legendary beasts will awaken when you try to step down the stairs near the ladder. Raikou and Entei leap quickly around the room before running off, and Suicune, pausing a moment to examine your character, follows the others a short time later. Eusine hurries down the ladder and marvels at seeing Suicune, as he's been chasing it for so long. With the Rock Smash and Strength moves at your disposal, take a minutes to fully explore the tower for items. This area is the only area in the game where you can find wild Magmar, so don't miss out.

Bell Tower

Previously known as the Tin Tower, the Bell Tower is off-limits to everyone that doesn't have Ecruteak's Gym badge. Obtaining the badge grants you access to the tower, but not the true prize. Return here after getting the Rainbow Wing from the Radio Tower Director, and you will be able to ascend to the top of the tower, and challenge Ho-Oh.

Ecruteak Gym

Ecruteak Gym

Ecruteak City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Morty
The Mystic Seer of the Future

The Ecruteak Gym specializes in Template:Type2s, so Template:Type2 attacks are the most effective here. Pure Template:Type2s, like Sentret or Raticate, are immune to Ghost-type moves, so teaching them non-Normal moves (like Surf or Dig) will allow them to damage the ghosts without much fear of retaliation. Be careful of Mean Look, which prevents the target Pokémon from switching; not a real problem by itself, but a Pokémon that is trapped due to that is a perfect target for a Curse. The Gym's puzzle remains the same, though updated, as it was in Gold & Silver: you have to navigate across the secret path over a dark void. Morty's junior Trainers are all holding small candles that illuminate parts of the path around them so that you can see. There are four Mediums on the path, and Morty waits at the end.

Route 38

Route 38 is a short route that connects to Route 39 in the west, near the MooMoo Farm.

Route 39 is another short route that connects Route 38 and Olivine City. The MooMoo Farm is located here, but one of their Miltank has fallen ill recently.
