Two-region Pokédex journey
Track Johto and Kanto encounters by area and method. Record evolutions, trades and version exclusives separately so ordinary route searches do not become fruitless repetition.
Apricorns and special balls
Revisit Apricorn trees and take the harvest to Kurt. These balls have specialised catching uses, making the collection useful as well as decorative.
Badges and optional encounters
The badge journey continues beyond Johto. Keep optional legendary encounters and the final challenge against Red on a separate checklist from the main League clear.
Quick notes
- Apricorn balls deserve a named purpose. Take harvested Apricorns to Kurt and identify the finished ball’s effect before a catching trip.
- Badges do not finish the Pokédex. Sixteen badges, Red, legendary encounters and Pokédex ownership are different achievements.
