• Bill’s grandfather gives a stone for each Pokémon he asks to see: in HeartGold Jigglypuff, Oddish, Marill, Growlithe and Pichu; in SoulSilver Lickitung, Oddish, Staryu, Vulpix and Pichu.
• Ace Trainer Kevin gives you a Nugget before his battle with Rhyhorn, Charmeleon and Wartortle.
• The Protein in the northeast corner of the tree maze needs Cut.
• Watch for Abra (10% at all times) and the Buneary swarm.
