Mauville City Emerald · Town
Mauville City is the crossroads city in the middle of Hoenn where Routes 110, 111, 117 and 118 meet. Wally asks to battle you here, and Wattson's Electric-type Gym gives your third badge; the city also has Rydel's Cycles, the Game Corner and the Rock Smash Guy's house. After you beat Norman, Wattson waits outside and gives you the Basement Key so you can switch off the generator in New Mauville.

Tips
- Wally's battle outside the Gym is light: he uses just a Lv16 Ralts.
- Wattson uses Voltorb 20, Electrike 20, Magneton 22 and Manectric 24; a Ground type such as Marshtomp or Geodude is immune to their Electric moves.
- Bug Maniac Angelo pays ¥1020, the best prize money among Wattson's trainers.
- Rydel gives you a free bike: the Mach Bike for speed and muddy slopes or the Acro Bike for tricks and rails. Talk to him again any time to swap.
- Get HM06 Rock Smash free from the Rock Smash Guy; Wattson's Dynamo Badge lets you use it outside battle.
- Trade a Harbor Mail for the Coin Case in a nearby house; the Game Corner offers TM35 Flamethrower, TM13 Ice Beam and TM24 Thunderbolt for 4000 coins each, though Wattson gives you Thunderbolt free after New Mauville.

FAQ
Where do you get Rock Smash in Pokémon Emerald?
From the Rock Smash Guy in a house in Mauville City. You need Wattson's Dynamo Badge to use it outside battle.
Should you pick the Mach Bike or Acro Bike in Emerald?
You need both eventually, and Rydel lets you swap whenever you visit his shop. The Mach Bike climbs muddy slopes and crosses cracked floors, while the Acro Bike handles narrow white rails and bunny hops.
How do you get the Coin Case in Pokémon Emerald?
Give a Harbor Mail to the woman in a Mauville City house. Harbor Mail costs ¥50 at the Slateport Poké Mart.
How do you get into New Mauville?
After you beat Norman, Wattson waits outside his Gym and gives you the Basement Key. Surf east along Route 110 to reach the entrance.
