Tips

• Webster in the Goldenrod gatehouse gives you Spearow ‘Kenya’ (Lv20) holding Mail, to take to the sleeping man on Route 31.
• After you deliver the Mail, the guard in the southern gatehouse gives you an HP Up.
• Ditto appears in the grass at a 4% rate any time of day.
• Yanma is a 1% grass encounter, rising to 40% during a swarm.
• Surf the small pond for a daily Green Apricorn, and look north of the tree for a hidden Nugget.
• TM66 Payback is in the southern part of the big grass patch, and Cut opens a shortcut north to Route 36.
