Tips

• Wild Pokémon are only Lv2–6: Pidgey, Sentret and Furret by day, and Hoothoot by night, with Rattata at all times.
• The four trainers are much tougher, from School Kids with Lv43 teams to Ace Trainers Quinn and French with Lv47 Pokémon.
• A Black Apricorn tree grows south of the first ledge on the west side and can be picked once a day.
• Mass outbreaks reported on the Pokégear can fill the route with Poochyena.
• After you have the National Pokédex, the Hoenn Sound radio show brings Plusle and Minun and the Sinnoh Sound brings Shinx.
• Headbutt the trees for Hoothoot, Pineco and Wurmple, plus Spinarak in HeartGold or Ledyba in SoulSilver.
