Tips
- Speak to the Power Plant manager on Route 10 first; a Rocket grunt then bolts out of the Cerulean Gym, and after you beat him on Route 24 he admits the Machine Part is hidden in the water at the centre of the Gym.
- Misty and her Gym trainers only return after you interrupt her date with her boyfriend on Route 25.
- Surf to the small inlet on the west side of town for the hidden Berserk Gene; talking to the boy nearby plays an Itemfinder chime while it is still there.
- Misty’s strongest Pokémon is a Lv47 Starmie with Surf, Confuse Ray, Recover and Ice Beam.
- Surfing in town finds Goldeen (90%) and Seaking (10%).
