Tips
- A hiker in town gives a Happiny Egg, and Bebe gives an Eevee once you have the National Pokédex.
- Fantina's Gym is a math-quiz door maze; Dark and Ghost moves work well against her.
- Get the Poffin Case from the Fan Club Chairman, then bake Poffins at the Poffin House for Contests.
- Amity Square lets small, cute Pokémon walk with you and pick up Accessories or Berries.
- Barry battles the player in Hearthome; his team depends on the chosen starter.
- Mr. Goods hands out Underground Secret Base decorations for completing certain feats.
