Gift, legendary and roaming Pokémon

Mareep Egg · Pokémon Center

Primo (a Poké Dude, the Teachy TV host) in the Violet City Pokémon Center gives an Egg when you tell him the correct Easy Chat password. The passwords depend on your Trainer ID; they were published on a Japanese Pokémon website and fan generators now produce them. Mareep, Wooper or Slugma hatch from the Eggs.

Slugma Egg · Pokémon Center

Togepi Egg

Tips

• Falkner uses Pidgey Lv9 and Pidgeotto Lv13, so Rock, Electric and Ice moves make short work of him.
• The Zephyr Badge lets you use Rock Smash outside battle, and Falkner also gives you TM51 Roost.
• Clear Sprout Tower first: Sage Li at the top gives you TM70 Flash, which you will want for Dark Cave.
• A Juggler near the Pokémon Center swaps each Shard for three Berries, and the colour of the Shard decides which set you get.
• Trade a Bellsprout in the southwest house to receive Onix ‘Rocky’, who holds a Persim Berry.
• Surf across the ponds for a PP Up and a Rare Candy, and use Rock Smash to reach a hidden Hyper Potion.
• The Poké Mart’s extra counter sells Heal Balls and Net Balls on top of the standard stock.
