Tips
- A man in the Battle Tent lobby gives you TM45 Attract.
- The Fury Cutter tutor in the Pokémon Center teaches the move to one Pokémon only, so choose carefully.
- Visit the Friendship Rater to check how your lead Pokémon feels about you, which helps with the Soothe Bell in Slateport and friendship evolutions.
- The Poké Mart sells Nest Balls (¥1000), which work best on low-level wild Pokémon.
- Smash the boulder in Rusturf Tunnel with Rock Smash to reunite Wanda with her boyfriend, who gives you HM04 Strength.
