Tips

  • Place a Lemonade on the Pillar to receive TM42 Facade from the man; a vending machine on the Celadon Department Store roof sells Lemonade.
  • Three Bird Keepers use Pidgey, Spearow and Hoothoot lines, so Electric or Rock moves are handy.
  • A Metal Coat is lying on the floor, and there are hidden Big Pearl, Razz, Sitrus and Bluk Berries.
  • The grass is full of Hoppip, which is easy to catch if you need one.
  • Surfing gives Tentacool and Hoppip; FireRed fishes up Horsea and Qwilfish, LeafGreen Krabby and Remoraid.
