Tips

• Sudowoodo is Lv20; it’s Rock type, so save before using the SquirtBottle and bring Water or Grass moves to weaken it for a catch.
• A man next to the Sudowoodo gives you HM06 Rock Smash.
• Floria gives you the Berry Pots plus three Oran Berries and three Pecha Berries after the Sudowoodo is gone.
• Arthur appears on Thursdays and gives you a Hard Stone the first time you meet him.
• The tree near the National Park gate gives a Blue Apricorn every day.
• Growlithe lives here in HeartGold and Vulpix in SoulSilver, and Stantler appears at 5% all day.
