Tips
- Return the Lost Item to the Copycat on the 2F of her house to receive the Pass; she mimics you as Chris or Kris, depending on your character.
- The Magnet Train only runs after the Power Plant’s Machine Part is returned, and the station officer still asks for the Pass.
- The officer on Silph Co.’s ground floor gives you an Up-Grade, which evolves Porygon when traded holding it.
- Mr. Psychic gives away TM29 Psychic, the same TM that costs 3500 coins at the Celadon Game Corner.
- A Focus Band sits in a Poké Ball in the Fighting Dojo, and Sabrina’s Gym is a maze of warp panels leading to her Lv48 Alakazam.
