Tips

• Surf into the middle of the pond for a Max Revive in the grass patch there.
• A daily Red Apricorn grows just northeast of the Mahogany Town entrance.
• Remoraid bites with the Good Rod or Super Rod and is everywhere during a swarm.
• Lickitung lives in the grass here at 15%, any time of day.
• Bird Keeper Vance and Fisherman Wilton both register their numbers; Wilton sometimes gives you Poké Balls.
• Stock up before the Ice Path: the route also has an Ultra Ball, a Max Repel and a hidden Elixir.
