Tips

• On your first visit a fisherman stops you to point out that you have just taken your first step into Kanto.
• TM22 SolarBeam lies on an isolated patch of land south of the bridge that needs Surf and Whirlpool; a Rare Candy sits on a small island near Tohjo Falls.
• The woman in the house by Tohjo Falls gives TM37 Sandstorm if your lead Pokémon’s friendship is 150 or more.
• Register Bird Keeper Jose: in Crystal he sometimes calls to offer you a Star Piece.
• Morning and day grass brings Doduo (40%), Arbok (30%) and the occasional Dodrio (5%); at night Noctowl and Quagsire take over at 40% each.
