Tips

  • An old man in the Ember Spa gives you HM06 Rock Smash for free; with it you can reach the Ether and the Carbos, and the rocks also hide Geodude and Graveler.
  • Surf is needed to cross the water at the end of the road to Mt. Ember and to reach the Max Repel.
  • There are a dozen trainers here, such as Crush Girl Tanya (Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan) and the Crush Kin double battle, so bring Revives and healing.
  • The grass has Ponyta, Spearow, Fearow, Meowth, Geodude and Persian; version difference is Psyduck in FireRed and Slowpoke in LeafGreen, and when fishing FireRed has Horsea and LeafGreen has Krabby.
