Items

Hidden items can be found with the Itemfinder from Ecruteak City.

Tips

• Pick up the HP Up item ball and look for a hidden Ultra Ball on the route.
• Jigglypuff (Lv 6) appears at a 10% rate, and Ekans and Arbok are Silver only.
• Surfing finds Goldeen (Lv 5–10, 90%) and Seaking (Lv 10, 10%).
• Bird Keeper Hank's Lv 34 Pidgeot and Picnicker Hope's Lv 34 Flaaffy are the trainers' strongest Pokémon.
