Map of Burned Tower in Pokémon Gold and Silver
1F (in-game map)

The Burned Tower stands on the west side of Ecruteak City, the charred shell of a once much taller tower that burned down in a fire. Your rival is inside looking for a legendary Pokémon and battles you on the first floor. When you drop into the basement you find Raikou, Entei and Suicune, which wake and flee, and from then on roam across Johto.

Tips

  • Your rival's team here is Haunter, Magnemite, Zubat and a Lv 22 evolved starter; Psychic or Dark moves deal with Haunter.
  • Fall through the holes in the 1F floor to reach B1F, where the three legendary beasts are waiting.
  • Raikou, Entei and Suicune are all Lv 40 and run from battle almost at once, so catching them takes patience; a Master Ball is the surest option.
  • Magmar appears on B1F (up to 10%); Koffing is common on both floors.
  • An HP Up and TM20 Endure are on B1F, and Rock Smash and Strength open up the rest of the hidden items later.
