Tips
- The Magnet Train only runs once the Power Plant is restored, and you need the Pass from the Copycat to ride it.
- Talk to the Copycat to hear about her missing doll, then collect the Lost Item from the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermilion City and bring it back to her for the Pass.
- The officer on Silph Co. 1F gives you an Up-Grade, which evolves Porygon when traded.
- Mr. Psychic gives you TM29 Psychic, and a Focus Band sits in an item ball in the Fighting Dojo.
- Sabrina's Gym uses warp panels; her Alakazam (Lv 48) is the biggest threat, and Dark-type moves are ideal against her whole team.
