Tips

  • The League Poké Mart sells Full Restores, Max Potions and Ultra Balls; stock up before the Elite Four.
  • The order is Sidney (Dark), Phoebe (Ghost), Glacia (Ice) and Drake (Dragon), then Champion Steven; there is no break to heal at a Pokémon Center.
  • Steven's ace is Metagross L58, alongside Skarmory, Claydol, Aggron, Cradily and Armaldo. Fire, Ground and Water moves are the most useful.
  • Ice moves are the best answer to Drake's Flygon, Altaria and Salamence L55.
  • Super Rod fishing here finds Luvdisc (40%), which can hold Heart Scales, and Corsola (15%).
