Burned Tower Crystal · Johto landmark

Map of Burned Tower in Pokémon Crystal — 1F (in-game map)

The Burned Tower is the ruined, two-level shell of Ecruteak City’s second tower, destroyed long ago by fire. Your rival challenges you on 1F before the floor gives way, and on B1F you awaken Raikou, Entei and Suicune. In Crystal this is also where you first meet Eusine, and Morty’s Gym opens once the beasts flee.

Tips

Your rival fights you on 1F with Haunter, Magnemite, Zubat and a Lv22 evolved starter; the floor collapses afterwards and drops you to B1F.
Raikou and Entei (Lv40) flee and roam Johto; in Crystal Suicune does not roam but waits for you later at Tin Tower.
Koffing is common on both floors, and B1F has a 1% chance of Weezing.
An HP Up lies on 1F, where a Rock Smash rock also sits, and TM20 Endure is on B1F, which has a Strength boulder.
Hidden items on 1F: an Ether and an Ultra Ball.
