Tips

• Shellos is the most common catch in the southern grass at 65%, with Buizel at 15% and Pachirisu at 10%.
• In the northern grass Hoothoot shows up only at night (10%), and Kricketot only in the morning and at night.
• The rest house on the southern section will fully heal your team for free.
• Pick up the Heal Ball, X Sp. Def and Super Potion on the southern side, and dowse for the hidden Stardust.
• Both halves have a Honey tree, so slather Honey on them to lure rarer Pokémon.
• Once you have Surf, the water here leads to Fuego Ironworks and lets you Super Rod for Gyarados and Lumineon.
