Tips

• Clair’s team is Gyarados Lv38, Dragonair Lv38, Dragonair Lv38 and Kingdra Lv41; Ice moves handle the Dragonair, but Kingdra only takes heavy damage from Dragon moves.
• After the Dragon’s Den test, Clair gives you the Rising Badge, which makes all Pokémon obey you and lets you use Waterfall outside battle, plus TM59 Dragon Pulse.
• The Move Deleter and the Move Reminder share a house next to the Poké Mart; the Reminder takes a Heart Scale per move.
• Move tutors here teach Draco Meteor to Dragon types and Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn or Hydro Cannon to fully evolved starters.
• A trader in the city swaps a female Dragonair for Doris, a Dodrio holding a Smoke Ball.
• Santos of the Week Siblings is in town on Saturdays and gives you Soft Sand the first time you meet him.
