Mahogany Town Gold & Silver · Johto town
Mahogany Town is a small town in northern Johto where Route 42 from Ecruteak meets Route 43 to the Lake of Rage and Route 44 to the east. Its souvenir shop hides the entrance to Team Rocket's hideout, which you raid with Lance after the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage. Pryce's Ice-type Gym opens only once the hideout is cleared.

Tips
- A man stands in the Gym doorway until Team Rocket is dealt with; follow his advice and head north to the Lake of Rage first.
- The souvenir shop sells TinyMushroom, SlowpokeTail, Poké Balls and Potions while Team Rocket runs it; afterwards the stock changes to RageCandyBar, Great Balls, Hyper Potions, Revives and more.
- The man by the eastern exit sells a RageCandyBar for ₽300 and keeps you off Route 44 until later in the story.
- Pryce's Gym floor is slippery ice, so plan each slide before you move.
- Fighting moves are super effective against Pryce's Dewgong (Lv29) and Piloswine (Lv31), and Chuck's TM01 DynamicPunch is worth teaching; use Electric or Grass moves on his pure Water-type Seel (Lv27).

FAQ
How do you get into Mahogany Gym in Gold and Silver?
Clear the Team Rocket hideout under the souvenir shop. The man blocking the Gym door leaves once the Rockets are gone.
Where is the Team Rocket hideout in Pokémon Gold and Silver?
Behind a hidden staircase in Mahogany Town's souvenir shop. Lance uncovers it after you meet him at the Lake of Rage.
How do you beat Pryce?
Fighting moves are super effective against Dewgong and Piloswine but only neutral against Seel, which is pure Water. Electric and Grass moves handle Seel and Dewgong, and Fire works well against Piloswine.
Why can't I go east from Mahogany Town?
The RageCandyBar seller blocks the way to Route 44 until you have collected seven badges.
