Tips

• Mr. Pokémon gives you the Mystery Egg, and Professor Oak hands you the Pokédex during the same visit.
• Bring Mr. Pokémon the Red Scale from the Lake of Rage later and he trades you an Exp. Share for it.
• The man in the berry house gives you a Berry, and the route’s two trees grow a Berry and a PSNCureBerry each day.
• Register Youngster Joey; after his final rematch, once you have beaten the Elite Four, he gives you an HP Up.
• Mornings bring Ledyba (30%), while at night Hoothoot (45%), Spinarak (30%) and Poliwag (20%) appear instead.
• A Potion is hidden in a flower bed south-west of Mr. Pokémon’s house.
