Tips

• Shoal Salt turns up at low tide and Shoal Shells at high tide; the supply refills each day.
• The Black Belt in the lower room gives you a Focus Band.
• You need Strength to get past the boulder in the lower room on the way to the Ice Room.
• Snorunt appears only in the Ice Room (10%), alongside Spheal, Zubat and Golbat.
• Collect TM07 Hail and NeverMeltIce in the Ice Room, and the Rare Candy in the inner room.
• Spheal is common throughout the cave (45–50% on foot), and its Ice moves are useful against Drake's Dragon types later.
