Fuchsia City HGSS · Kanto Town

Fuchsia City is a historic town in southern Kanto between Route 15 to the east and the Cycling Road end of Route 18 to the west. Janine has taken over the Poison-type Gym from her father Koga, and the old Safari Zone has closed: its warden Baoba moved it to Johto, and Pal Park now stands in its place. The beach of Route 19 is blocked by rocks from the Cinnabar Island eruption.

Tips
- Janine uses Crobat Lv47, Weezing Lv44, Ariados Lv47, Ariados Lv47 and Venomoth Lv50; Psychic and Ground moves work well.
- Her Gym is a maze of nearly invisible walls, and every trainer is disguised as Janine until you talk to them.
- Beating Janine earns the Soul Badge and TM84 Poison Jab.
- The Juggler on the way to Pal Park trades three Berries for each Shard, with the set depending on the Shard’s colour.
- Pal Park hosts the Catching Show for Pokémon migrated from older games, and the front desk rewards your score with Berries.
- Every body of water here holds only Magikarp, apart from Gyarados with the Good Rod (10%) and Super Rod (30%).
- Cut opens the path to a Red Apricorn tree in the north of town.
