Pokémon Tower FireRed & LeafGreen · Dungeon

Pokémon Tower is the seven-floor graveyard tower in Lavender Town. Without the Silph Scope the ghosts from 3F up cannot be identified and the ghost Marowak on 6F blocks the stairs, so you return once you have the Scope from the Rocket Hideout. Wild encounters begin on 3F, and Mr. Fuji is held captive on 7F by Team Rocket.

Tips
- You need the Silph Scope from the Rocket Hideout to see what the ghosts really are; without it you cannot identify or properly fight them.
- Gastly is by far the most common wild Pokémon, and Haunter is much more common on the upper floors, reaching its best odds on 7F, which makes this the easiest place to find one without trading.
- On 6F a ghost Marowak blocks the way as a scripted battle and it cannot be caught, so heal and save first.
- Pick up the Cleanse Tag, Nugget and hidden Big Mushroom on 5F, the Rare Candy and X Accuracy on 6F, and the hidden Soothe Bell on 7F.
- Three Team Rocket Grunts guard Mr. Fuji on 7F, and the Channelers on the middle floors use Gastly and Haunter, which ignore Normal and Fighting attacks, so bring Psychic, Ghost or Dark moves.
