Silph Co. FireRed & LeafGreen · Dungeon

Silph Co. is the eleven-floor headquarters in Saffron City that Team Rocket has taken over. You tackle it once you reach Saffron, after Pokémon Tower, and it is a long run of Rocket Grunts and Scientists, locked Card Key doors and warp pads, ending with Giovanni on 11F. Clearing it also opens the way to Sabrina's Gym.

Tips
- The Card Key is an item ball on 5F; with it you can open the locked doors, and the warp pads on the floors are the quickest way to cut between rooms, including the route up to the president's office.
- A woman on 9F heals your whole party for free, so you can fight trainer after trainer and top up there instead of leaving the building.
- An employee on 7F gives you a Lapras at level 25 as thanks, and your rival ambushes you on the same floor with a stronger team, so heal before you go in.
- Giovanni on 11F uses Nidorino, Kangaskhan, Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen, so bring Water, Ice or Grass moves; once he is beaten the president hands you a Master Ball.
- Pick up TM01 Focus Punch (5F), TM41 Torment (4F) and TM08 Bulk Up (7F), plus plenty of vitamins like Protein, HP Up, Carbos, Calcium, Iron and Zinc in item balls and hidden spots.
