Map of Cape Brink in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
Cape Brink (in-game map)

Cape Brink is the quiet northern tip of Two Island, a short stretch of grass and shoreline with a single house. The house holds a move tutor who teaches the ultimate move of a fully evolved Kanto starter, which makes this a one-off stop for starter fans.

Tips

  • The tutor teaches Frenzy Plant to Venusaur, Blast Burn to Charizard and Hydro Cannon to Blastoise, but only if that Pokémon is first in your party and has maximum friendship.
  • Each of the three moves can be taught only once per save, so pick the Pokémon you really want to use it on.
  • The grass splits by version: Oddish and Gloom in FireRed, Bellsprout and Weepinbell in LeafGreen.
  • Water encounters also differ: Psyduck and Golduck in FireRed, Slowpoke and Slowbro in LeafGreen.
  • Look for the hidden PP Max and Rare Candy on the cape before you leave.

FAQ

What does the Cape Brink tutor teach?

Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn or Hydro Cannon, depending on whether your lead is a fully evolved Venusaur, Charizard or Blastoise.

How do I get a Pokémon to maximum friendship?

Keep it with you, level it up and battle with it, and avoid letting it faint; friendship builds slowly with use.
