Tips
- The ghosts in Pokémon Tower cannot be fought until you have the Silph Scope from the Rocket Hideout in Celadon City.
- Rescue Mr. Fuji from the top of the tower and he gives you the Poké Flute at his house, which you need for the Snorlax blocking the roads.
- There are no wild Pokémon in town, but the Poké Mart sells Great Balls, Super Potions and Revives so stock up here.
- Bring Escape Rope and a few Potions for the tower, and use Repel to skip weak encounters.
- From here you can walk south along Route 12 towards Fuchsia once you have woken the Snorlax.
