Tips

• Snorlax wakes when you stand next to it with the Pokégear radio on the Poké Flute channel (20.0), which needs the Expansion Card from the Lavender Radio Tower; it always holds Leftovers.
• The S.S. Aqua leaves for Olivine City on Wednesdays and Sundays, and you need the S.S. Ticket to board.
• Hear out the Fan Club chairman’s story about his Rapidash for a Rare Candy.
• A small tree in front of Lt. Surge’s Gym needs Cut (Surfing round also works); the trash cans inside are all empty, so there is no switch puzzle.
• The man near Diglett’s Cave gives you an HP Up once you hold all 16 Badges, and an Iron is hidden at Vermilion Port.
