Use Headbutt on a tree (taught by the tutor in Ilex Forest). Which trees are “common”, “rare” or empty depends on the last digit of your Trainer ID.

Tips

• The red Gyarados is Lv30 and always shiny; save before you surf out to it.
• Whether you catch it or not, you pick up the Red Scale, which Mr. Pokémon will trade you for an Exp. Share.
• Surf across to the house in the northwest for TM10 Hidden Power; it can only be reached while the lake is flooded.
• Wesley appears near the Hidden Power house on Wednesdays and gives you a Black Belt the first time.
• In HeartGold and SoulSilver it rains here most days, but after the Rocket transmitter is shut down the rain stops on Wednesdays and the water drops, opening up extra items.
• Choice Specs, a Red Flute and TM43 Secret Power are among the items around the lake.
