Tips
- The ship sails from Olivine on Mondays and Fridays and from Vermilion on Wednesdays and Sundays.
- On your first trip, find the girl in the captain’s cabin; her grandfather gives you a Metal Coat and the ship docks in Vermilion.
- On your first voyage, the on-duty sailor on B1F sends you to find a sailor napping in the north cabins; he battles you once and heals your team afterwards.
- Different trainers board for eastbound and westbound voyages, so repeat trips mean new battles.
- Cooltrainer♂ Sean and Cooltrainer♀ Carol, each with three Lv35 Pokémon, are the toughest fights aboard.
