Items

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

Tips

• Hidden items include a Rare Candy, Full Restore, PP Up, Max Revive and Max Elixer, so bring the Itemfinder.
• Ponyta is a decent grass encounter here and a good Fire type to catch.
• Doduo is the most common encounter, and Fearow and Dodrio turn up too.
• The trainers hit hard with Machoke, Primeape and Muk, so use Psychic, Flying and Ground moves.
• The Bicycle is required to ride Cycling Road, so pick it up beforehand.
