Map of Fuchsia City in Pokémon Gold and Silver
Fuchsia City (in-game map)

Fuchsia City is in southern Kanto, reached by Route 15 from the east, Cycling Road (Route 18) from the west and the sea route Route 19 to the south. Koga has joined the Elite Four, so his daughter Janine now runs the Poison-type Gym. The Safari Zone is closed because its warden is travelling abroad.

Tips

  • The trainers in Janine's Gym are disguised as Janine, so expect a few fake-outs before you reach the real one.
  • Janine's Venomoth (Lv 39) knows Psychic, and her Weezing can use Explosion; she rewards you with TM06 Toxic.
  • Fish in the pond with a Good Rod or Super Rod for a chance at Gyarados; surfing only finds Magikarp (Lv 10–20).
  • A berry tree in town gives a Burnt Berry every day.
  • Bill's older sister lives here, though she only chats about her family.
