Hidden items need the Itemfinder or a lucky press of A on the right tile.

Tips

• Magnemite makes up half of the grass encounters, so it is the easiest place to pick up an Electric type early.
• Machop can be caught in the grass, which is an easy way to get a Fighting type.
• The Power Plant is reached by Surfing along the river, so you will need to come back after getting the Soul Badge.
• Rock Tunnel is dark, and Flash from Oak's aide on Route 2 makes it much easier, though it is not strictly required.
• The PokéManiac with Rhyhorn and Lickitung at level 30 is the toughest trainer here; a Water or Grass attacker works well.
