Tips

• Morty’s Gym only opens after you have explored the Burned Tower and woken Raikou, Entei and Suicune in its basement.
• Beat the Team Rocket Grunt harassing a Kimono Girl in the Dance Theater and the old man there gives you HM03 Surf.
• Morty uses Gastly Lv21, Haunter Lv21, Haunter Lv23 and Gengar Lv25; Dark and Ghost moves work well, and Normal or Fighting moves will not hit them.
• The Fog Badge lets you use Surf outside battle, and Morty adds TM30 Shadow Ball.
• Someone in the house east of the Gym gives you the Dowsing MCHN, which points you to hidden items.
• After all eight Johto Badges and the Master Ball from Professor Elm, the five Kimono Girls battle you back to back (each with an Eeveelution at Lv38) for the Clear Bell in HeartGold or the Tidal Bell in SoulSilver.
• The Barrier Station to the Bell Tower lets you through only once you hold the Fog Badge.
