Mahogany Town HGSS · Johto Town
Mahogany Town is a small mountain town where Routes 42, 43 and 44 meet, with the Lake of Rage up Route 43 to the north. The souvenir shop is a Team Rocket front: after the red Gyarados incident at the Lake of Rage, Lance helps you uncover the secret stairway into the Team Rocket Hideout beneath it. Pryce’s Ice-type Gym can only be challenged once the Hideout has been cleared.

Tips
- A man blocks the Gym until you have calmed the Lake of Rage and driven Team Rocket out of their Hideout under the souvenir shop.
- A salesman on the east side of town pushes RageCandyBars for $300 and keeps blocking the road to Route 44 until Team Rocket is cleared from the Goldenrod Radio Tower.
- Pryce uses Seel Lv30, Dewgong Lv32 and Piloswine Lv34; Fire, Fighting, Electric and Grass moves all have targets on his team.
- Beating Pryce earns the Glacier Badge, which lets you use Whirlpool outside battle, plus TM07 Hail.
- Mahogany has no regular Poké Mart; the souvenir shop sells TinyMushrooms, Poké Balls and Potions, and its stock improves once Team Rocket is gone.
