Tips

• Lickitung makes up 40% of morning and day encounters (Lv22–26); Tangela is 30% at any time.
• At night Poliwag (30%) and Poliwhirl (10%) replace Lickitung in the grass.
• Register Fisher Wilton; he phones with a Poké Ball, Great Ball or Ultra Ball to collect.
• Bird Keeper Vance hands over a Carbos after one of his later phone rematches.
• An Elixer is hidden on the route, and a Max Revive, an Ultra Ball and a Max Repel lie in the open.
• A Burnt Berry tree regrows daily, which is useful before the icy Ice Path.
