Prize money is four times the level of the trainer’s last Pokémon times the trainer class’s rate (doubled in double battles). Trainers who give you their Pokégear number call when they want a rematch, with stronger teams as you progress.

Items

Hidden items can be found with the Dowsing MCHN Pokégear app.

Tips

• Search the two meteor craters for hidden Star Pieces.
• A Big Root sits on a raised ledge reached from near Firebreather Otis.
• Rock Smash the boulders for items; one hidden Hyper Potion near the Pokémon Center needs it.
• Ekans and Arbok live here only in SoulSilver; HeartGold players see more Rattata and Spearow instead.
• Zubat only shows up at night, while Spearow disappears after dark.
• During swarms, Baltoy appears in HeartGold and Gulpin in SoulSilver.
