Celestic Town

Celestic Town is a tiny, ancient town tucked into the mountains between Route 210 and Route 211, and the home of Cynthia's grandmother, the town elder. You come here to deliver the Old Charm Cynthia gave you on Route 210, and find a Team Galactic grunt threatening to blow the town up. Inside the shrine cave, Cyrus battles you in front of the cave painting, and the grateful elder then gives you HM03 Surf.

Tips

  • Cyrus's team is Sneasel 34, Golbat 34 and Murkrow 36, so Fighting- and Electric-type moves are a big help.
  • The elder gives you HM03 Surf after the cave battle; you need the Fen Badge to use it outside battle.
  • There is no Poké Mart, so shop in the Northwest House, which also stocks Dusk Balls, Quick Balls and Timer Balls.
  • The Northwest House gives you Choice Specs in the morning, BlackGlasses during the day or Wise Glasses at night.
  • Show a very friendly Pokémon to a visitor in the Pokémon Center for a Great Ball.
  • With a Super Rod, the pond gives Corphish 40% and Crawdaunt 15%, along with Gyarados and Seaking.
