Tips
- Wally's Gardevoir 45 is his ace and Altaria 44 resists Grass and Fire, so a strong Steel or Ice attacker helps.
- After the Hall of Fame Wally waits near the exit with a stronger team (Altaria 47, Delcatty 46, Roselia 47, Magneton 44, Gardevoir 48).
- There are 16 Cooltrainers worth ¥2016–¥2160 each; Hope's Roselia 45 and Shannon's Claydol 45 are the highest levels.
- Pick up TM29 Psychic and a Full Restore on B1F, plus Max Elixir and PP Up on 1F.
- Mawile appears only on B1F and B2F (5%), and B2F also has Sableye (35%).
- Use Flash on B1F and B2F to see the paths more easily.
