Tips
- The Aide on the second floor of the West Entrance gatehouse gives the Exp. Share once you have caught 50 Pokémon.
- TM18 Rain Dance is on the ground along the route.
- Crush Kin Ron & Mya are a double battle with Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, so bring a Psychic or Flying-type.
- Oddish and Gloom are FireRed-only, and Bellsprout and Weepinbell are LeafGreen-only, while Ditto appears at a low rate in both.
- Bikers, Picnickers and Beauties make this a good place to gain experience before the Fuchsia Gym.
