Tips

• Blue's Gym stays empty until you have spoken to him on Cinnabar Island; his team tops out with Lv 58 Gyarados, Exeggutor and Arcanine.
• The Trainer House allows one battle per day; without a Mystery Gift partner your opponent is Cal with Lv 50 Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligatr.
• A drowsy man in town gives you TM42 Dream Eater; you need Cut or Surf to reach him.
• The pond holds Poliwag (Lv 5–10, 90%) and Poliwhirl (Lv 10, 10%) while surfing.
• The Poké Mart stocks Ultra Balls, Hyper Potions and Revives, handy before Victory Road or Mt. Silver.
