MAY 31, 2007 ~ JULY 26, 2007: Incomplete version.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
JULY 26 ~ AUGUST 11, 2007: Version 2.0 to Version 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 15, ~ September 6, 2007 Version 3.0 to Version 4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 7th ~ October 5th, 2007: Version 4.0 to Version 4.30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 20th ~ December 31st, 2007: Version 4.30 to Version 5.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 13, 2008: It has been awhile, my first real update since the
beginning of March. Sadly, all I can do at this point
is reader mail, since I do not have enough time to
type up anything new. Anywho, here are the updates:
* For some reason, I thought Shellos was a ground type
when writing the main guide, and didn't even notice
it until a reader pointed it out. The guide has been
corrected to reflect that it is only a water type.
* A reader named Vyse505 sent in a Fatina strategy
that was added to the guide.
* A user named ScizorsIronFist sent in a correction
to a question I answered in the FAQ section about
Accuracy.
* A reader named Stuart submitted a movelist for
Roserade.
In other Pokemon news, Everyone's Pokémon Ranch should
be coming out within the next few weeks or months, so
I will try to cover the basics of connecting to it
and some of the Pokemon you can get from it. Also,
Pokemon Platnium was revealed yesterday and is
scheduled to be released in the fall/winter sometime
in Japan, and sometime next Spring/Summer for the
US. I might make a updated version of the guide for
it, although I am not too sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 9, 2008: Already been a month, eh? Got a few new things for
you. All My Pokemon Ranch related.
* Added the My Pokemon Ranch section to the guide,
as well as updated the Pokedex and Pokemon
location sections for info reguarding Pokemon
Battle Revolution and My Pokemon Ranch.
In other news, its already been 1 year since I
started on the guide. Since it was posted, the
guide has well over 1,410,000 hits on Gamefaqs
alone. At this point, there is little else to
do in the guide, although I do need to get the
Underground and Battle Tower guide done when I have
more time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 30, 2008: Just in time for a monthly update!
* Added move list info for Corosola, Heracross, and
Tyranitar written to Ferric Flame to the movelist
section
* Updated Route 229 for info on Ledian and Ariados
* Clarified some things with Happiny and the Oval
Stone
* Fixed a typo that spelled Sunyshore as Sunnyshore
all throughout the guide.
* Corrected some info reguarding Jasmine in
Sunyshore.
* Added some info on the recent US Pokemon Events
in the Event Pokemon section.
* Added a tip for catching Heatran easier
* A bunch of other minor corrections here and
there.
One thing you might notice is I removed my email
from the top of the guide. The reason I did that
was because I was getting a few complaint emails on
why I was not answering questions anymore. As much
as I love how many emails I get about the guide,
I cannot respond to questions anymore due to my
schedule. Thus, please only send me a email if you
see something wrong with the guide.
Finally, Pokemon Platinum is coming out in September
in Japan. While I have not decided if I will write
a guide for it, I am going to wait until it comes out
in the US if I am going to write the guide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 13, 2008: Finally getting to some of the stuff on my to-do list!
* Added the In-Game Trade locations in the sidequest
section
* Ribbon Lady added to the daily sidequest section
* Added the Macho Brace sidequest to the sidequest
section
* Added the Rival Rematches to the Post-Elite Four
guide.
I'm thinking about updating before the end of
August again, but I am not too sure. I'm going
to try to get most of the stuff on my to-do list
done before Platinum launches in the US.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 14, 2008: A small update, but one that has still been requested
by several people.
* Added both versions of Route 211 (One of the routes
in the game that you do not have to go on) to the
main part of the guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 13, 2009: Hi D/P Players! I've been busy writing the Platinum
version of this guide. In return, I give some of the
long-awaited content on my to-do list that I did
for both this guide and Platinum.
* Added the Sinnoh Underground Section
* Added the Chatot's Chatter guide
* Finished up the Eevee guide
As of this update, the D/P guide has 2.5 Million
views alone on Gamefaqs, almost 1 million views in
one year alone. That is a lot, and I thank everyone
that is still reading this guide. I am trying to
get this and the Platinum guide done before HeartGold
and SoulSilver come out in Japan on September 12th,
so expect a few more updates.

----
As you begin the game, you will be asked for your name and gender, as well
as the name for your rival. Be aware that once you make a choice, you
cannot change it. Once you do begin the game, you will be on the top floor
of your house(Your room). Go downstairs and your mother will tell you that
your rival is looking to you. Head outside to continue (Although this is
obvious information, the doors or exits usually have a place mat or stairs/
elevator of some kind to mark where it is).
As you can see, Twinleaf is a small town. There is a small puddle down
south, but there is nothing you can get from it. There are three other
houses in town; two of which have nothing in them. To get to your rivals
house, go to the house that is in the northwest corner of town. Once you
talk to your rival, go in his house to find out where he went. Head north
to Route 201 to find your rival. He will then ask you to go with him to
Verity Lake, which is to the left of where you are at now. Head there now.
You will catch your first glimpse of the Prof. and his assitant, the
opposite gen er you choose (Dawn if you are a male and Lukas if you are a
female). Rowan will talk to you for a minute and then walk off without his
briefcase with the starters in it. Suddenly, you will be attacked on both
sides by wild Starly. You will now be able to choose your starter.
Which one should you choose? Well, several factors come into play:
*Do you know anyone else that has this game, and if so what starter did
they get? Although you can get other starters via online trading, it
would help to know what the other people around you have so you can get
them a bit easier.
*How experienced are you with previous Pokemon games? Turtwig evolves late
at level 18, but evolves much earlier then the others at level 32 and has
dual grass/ground type. Chimchar evolves earlier at level 14, but evolves
like normal at level 36 and has fire/fighting type. Piplup evolves the
latest at level 16, and then 36 with water/steel type.
*Each have their own uses with gyms. Here is a example of each:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| First Gym: Rock |(Turtwig and Piplup are strong, and Chimchar is |
| | weak against it until it gains fighting moves |
| | when it evolves) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Second Gym: Grass |(Chimchar is the strongest here, while Piplup |
| | is the weakest) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Third Gym: Fighting |(None are strong here, although Chimchar has |
| | a type advantage against the leader's Lucario) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Fourth Gym: Water |(Turtwig is the strongest here, while Chimchar |
| | is the weakest) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Fifth Gym: Ghost |(None are strong here, and Turtwig's Evolutions |
| | cannot attack Gengar and other Pokemon with |
| | ground attacks. Also noteable is Chimchar's |
| | evolutions fighting moves are ineffective |
| | against ghost types) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Sixth Gym: Steel |(Chimchar is very effective here, while Turtwig |
| | can also be useful on all besides Bronzong with |
| | ground-type attacks. Piplup can also hit Steelix|
| | pretty hard with water attacks). |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Seventh Gym: Ice |(Chimchar is effective here, although its |
| | evolutions are weak against the leader's |
| | Medicham. Turtwig is ineffective here). |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Eighth Gym: Electric |(Turtwig's evolutions are very strong here, |
| | while Piplup is weak here) |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As you can see, Chimchar is the most effective type-wise against the Gyms,
while Turtwig comes in second. Piplup is not very effective in most of the
gyms. Anywho, you should easily be able to KO the Starly that attacked you.
Once that happens, the Prof.'s Assistant will show up and take the
briefcase back. You will then automatically go back the way you came and
enter a cutscene with the Prof. Once that is done, you will be on Route 201.

\------------------------------------------------------------/
Not much to do here. Since you have no Pokeballs at this point, all you
can do is battle for experience (It is recommended you get your starter
to at least level 8 or so right now). There are no trainers here, either.
However, you can get a handy potion from the guy in the grass near
Sandgem Town. Once you are finished here, head to the right to get to
Sandgem Town

As soon as you enter town, Prof. Rowan's assistant will escort you to
his lab, where you will get the Pokedex. After that is done, head back
to Twinleaf Town and talk to your mother. Once you do that, you will
be able to head on Route 202.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Pokedex on the save screen now shows the Pokemon seen instead |
| of caught. This comes into play later on after you beat the story |
| mode of the game. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once you exit his lab, you will get shown around town. Unfortunately,
there is not much you can do at this point, although you can buy Pokeballs
and Potions, so stock up for the road ahead. You can also head on the
beach to Route 219, but you can't do much besides get a Antidote. You
may want to check out the Pokemon Center as well and heal up.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You cannot do wireless trade at this point. You will need to at |
| least get the 1st badge before you can access the downstairs |
| section of Pokemon Centers. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Head North to Route 202 to continue.

Trainers:
/------------------------------------------------\
|Youngster Tristan |
|Money: 80p |
|EV Gained: 1 Speed |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Starly lv 5 (Flying/Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Not much you can do at this point. May |
| want to use your starter for this one. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Lass Natalie |
|Money: 48p |
|EV Gained: 2 HP |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Bidoof lv 3 (Normal) |
|Bidoof lv 3 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: You won't get much money from this fight, |
| but you will get some decent EXP for |
| any Starly or Shinx you caught earlier. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Youngster Logan |
|Money: 80p |
|EV Gained: 1 Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Shinx lv 5 (Electric) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: One of your first non-normal or flying |
| battles. Shinx, however, only knows |
| tackle as a offensive move, so Piplup and |
| Starly will be fine. |
\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you enter the Route, Rowan's Assistant will show up and show you
how to catch Pokemon and give you 5 Pokeballs. Now is also a good time to
catch some Pokemon. Starly and Shinx are both great additions to your team,
so try to catch them before you move on. Bidoof and Kricketot, though...
Catch them for the Pokedex, at least.
Also, there are some trainers on the route. Nothing too major: mostly in
the 2-5 level range, so you may want to level up a little bit. You can
also get a Potion in the grass near the entrance to Jublife City.

Pokemart Items:

Ah, your first big city. Jublife may be one of the towns you visit the most
later on because of the GTS (Located to the left of the Pokemon center,
past the Trainer's School), but you cannot access it until you get your
first Gym Badge. So, for now, head to the Pokemon center and heal yourself
up and go to the Pokemon Center and buy some items. Once you are ready,
head to the trainer school.
=====================
||Trainer's School ||
===========================================================================
Trainers:
/------------------------------------------------\
|School Kid Harrison |
|Money: 120p |
|EV Gained: 1 Special Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Abra lv 6 (Psychic) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: While normal Abra usually have Teleport |
| as their main move, this one has Hidden |
| Power as a attack. Hidden Power is a move |
| that changes depending on the IV's of the |
| Pokemon using it, so it can be one of the |
| different types in the game. Still, use |
| your starter. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|School Kid Christine |
|Money: 120p |
|EV Gained: 1 Special Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Abra lv 6 (Psychic) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Pretty much the exact same as the other |
| one, but its Hidden Power is a different |
| type. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Inside, you will see your rival. Talk to him to give him the parcel and he
will give you a town map in exchange (Granted, it is sort of useless). You
can read the blackboard for some tips, and you can battle the two trainers
to the right for a TM (no. 10, Hidden Power. Sort of useless in battle, in
truth).
===========================================================================
The next thing you should do if talk to the man in the street in between
the Pokemon Center and the Trainer School. He will tell you to find three
clowns and answer several questions for a prize. Here are the location of
the clowns (They are dressed in yellow and have Jesters hats):
- In front of the Pokemart (Directly north of the Pokemon Center)
- In front of the Jublife TV station (Directly north of town)
- In front of the Poketech Company (Directly Northwest of town)
As far as I remember, I do not remember getting a wrong answer (I said yes
to all three and got the questions right. If anyone got anything different,
email me). Once you get a right answer, you will get a Poketech coupon.
Once you get all 3 Poketech coupons, go talk to the man to the left of the
Pokemon center and he will give you a Poketech. This device will allow you
to do several things on the touch screen that can be upgraded over time.
However, at this point, you only have the first few Apps, so it is only
good for time right now.
Before you leave, you may want to go to Route 218 a bit early (Route 218
is west of Jublife). Inside the gatehouse on your way there, you can
pick up a old rod from the fisherman. While is pretty much only catching
Magikarp, it might be a good idea to pick a Magikarp early if you do not
have a Water Pokemon (Keep in mind that Magikarp itself is pretty much
useless. Its evolution at lv 20, Grads, is a very powerful Pokemon).
Once you have gotten some Pokeballs and potions from the Pokemart and have
seen everything you wanted in Jublife, head east to Route 203.

|Pokemon: |
|Kricketot lv 7 (Bug) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: All Kricketot really has is bide, so be |
| careful if you attack him too long without|
| knocking him out. Try to use Starly if |
| you have one |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Youngster Sebastian |
|Money: 112p |
|EV Gained: 1 Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Machop lv 7 (Fighting) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Machop is one of the first fighting |
| Pokemon you will see. He has Low Kick on |
| him as well as Focus Energy, so use Starly|
| if you have one |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |

|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Bidoof lv 5 (Normal) |
|Zubat lv 5 (Flying/Poison) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Bidoof is still pretty weak, so take him |
| out with whatever. Zubat, on the other |
| hand, can be annoying. It has Leech Life, |
| which can harm Turtwig pretty badly. |
| It also has Supersonic which can confuse |
| one of your Pokemon. Use Shinx if you have|
| it. |

|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Bidoof lv 4 (Normal) |
|Starly lv 4 (Normal/Flying) |
|Budew lv 4 (Grass/Poison) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This may be a good time to use any of your|
| weaker Pokemon. Bidoof and Starly are the |
| same as ever. Budew, however, is new. It |
| can use a move called Absorb, which Piplup|
| is weak again. Chimchar or Starly can take|
| care of it. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Lass Madeline |
|Money: 80p |
|EV Gained: 1 HP, 1 Speed |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Starly lv 5 (Normal/Flying) |
|Bidoof lv 5 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: The only major thing is that Starly has |
| quick attack, but otherwise it is the |
| same as ever. |
\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you enter the Route, you will be challenged by your Rival. By
now, your Pokemon should be in the 6-10 lv range, so go train if they are
not.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Starly lv 7 (Normal/Flying) |
|Starter: lv 9 (Fire type Chimchar if you choose Turtwig, Water type |
| Piplup if you choose Chimchar, Grass type Turtwig if you |
| choose Piplup). |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Your Rival is at a fairly high level this early in the game, his |
| Starly alone can cause problems if you choose Turtwig. The best way|
| to take down his team at this point is to have a Shinx at around |
| lv 6-7, your own Starly around the same level, and your starter |
| at lv 8 or above. Shinx does not have any major electric moves |
| at this point, but he is one of the more powerful Pokemon at this |
| Point. Starly learns Wing Attack at lv 9, which can wipe out his |
| Pokemon is only a few hits. Your starter should be kept in reserve |
| and as a last option at this point. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, you will be able to continue. There are 5 trainers on
this Route, so it may be a good time to level up for the upcoming Gym. Also,
try to catch a Abra if you can at this point if you have someone that you
can trade with. It is also a good idea to catch Shinx at this point if you
have not. Once you are done on this route, continue east to the Oreburgh
Gate..

|Psyduck lv 5 (Water) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Budew is the same as the one you fought |
| earlier, although Psyduck is a new one. |
| It has water sport, although it really |
| doesn't do anything at this point. Starly |
| for Budew, and Turtwig/Shinx for Psyduck. |

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Only thing different about this Shinx is |
| it is a higher level then the other ones |
| you have fought. |
\------------------------------------------------/
At this point, you cannot do much in this small cave. Talk to the hiker
when your first enter to get HM 06, Rock Smash (Although you cannot use it
at this point until you get the first badge). Geodude and Zubat are both
common, both being a excellent addition to your team (Zubat's final
evolution Crobat is a very good Poison/Flying type that would serve well
as your main Poison Pokemon, and Geodude's final evolution Golem does
well in most situations, but you will need to trade to get him).
There are also some low level trainers here that you can't avoid, so make
sure you use a Pokemon that needs the EXP. Head east until you reach the
exit to Oreburgh City.

Not much you can do at this point. Your rival is blocking the way to the
Oreburgh Gym and tells you that the gym leader is not in right now. The
Oreburgh Museum does not have much in it until you have some fossils from
The Underground. The second condominium near when you first entered has
a woman that will trade you a Abra for a Machop: a good deal if you cannot
find one yourself (Although it cannot learn any level up moves until it
evolves at lv 16, you can teach it TMs and HMs).
Also, the Pokemon Center will now have the downstairs center open, allowing
you to trade and battle people online.Once you are ready to continue, head
down south to the Oreburgh Mine.

|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Machop lv 9 (Fighting) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This Machop has the same moves from the |
| one earlier, only a few levels higher. |
| Once again, use Starly. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Worker Colin |
|Money: 280p |

|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 7 (Rock/Ground) |
|Onix lv 7 (Rock/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Colin has a similar team to the upcoming |
| Gym Leader. Both Pokemon have Mud Sport, |
| which lovers Electric-type attack's power.|
| However, you shouldn't even be using Shinx|
| against ground Pokemon! Use Turtwig if you|
| have it, or Piplup. |
\------------------------------------------------/
The only new Pokemon at this point is Onix, which is not quite a good one
at this point of the game (Catch anyway for the Pokedex if you do see one,
though).
Here, you will need to go down to the basement and talk to the Gym Leader,
Roark. He is located at the southern part of the basement area of the mine,
next to two breakable rocks. Once you talk to him, he will return to the
gym. At this point, there is much to do inside the mine besides train
against wild Pokemon. You should be at least in the 10s range for all of
your Pokemon.
Once you are done in the mine, return to Oreburgh and head to the Gym. Keep
in mind that he specializes in Rock and Ground type Pokemon, so water and
grass Pokemon are good at this point. Only problem is the only Grass and
Water Pokemon at this point are your starters...

|Youngster Darius |

|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 8 (Rock/Ground) |
|Onix lv 8 (Rock/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Like the ones you fought in the mine, |
| only at a higher level. Use Piplup or |
| Turtwig. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Youngster Jonathan |
|Money: 160p |
|EV Gained: 1 Defense |
|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 10 (Rock/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Currently the highest level Pokemon you |
| have faced at this point, but he is the |
| same as every other Geodude you have beat |
| so far. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Fairly simple for a gym. You can either challenge the two trainers by going
straight up (They are good EXP, and you cannot fight them once you beat the
gym), or you can go up the steps on your left, over the bridge, and up the
steps on your right, and then head to the Gym Leader. Make sure you bring
several Potions before you fight him, and head to the Pokemon Center if you
fought the other trainers.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Roark |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 12 (Rock/Ground) |
|Onix lv 12 (Rock/Ground) |
|Cranidos lv 14 (Rock) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Roark is similar to Brock and Roxanne from the previous games, |
| although much harder. His signature move is Stealth Rock: a move |
| similar to Spikes that damages your Pokemon when you switch out. |
| Geodude is his easiest Pokemon, absorb from Turtwig and bubble |
| from Piplup work well on him. His next Pokemon is Onix, which is |
| sort of a tougher Geodude with a higher defense. Same strategy |
| works well with him. His final Pokemon is Cranidos: a powerful |
| fossil Pokemon with a high attack (Headbutt is brutal at this |
| point). The best Pokemon to use against him is a Geodude with the |
| move Magnitude (Rock is weak against Ground, although Geodude |
| learns it at lv 15). Its also good to note that if your starter |
| isn't evolved, there is a good chance he will not last long against|
| his Cranidos (Especially Chimchar). If you are having a hard time, |
| make sure you do not use any flying or electric types like Starly |
| and Shinx and try to evolve your starter as soon as you can. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Roark, you will get the Coal Badge and TM76 (Stealth Rock).
There isn't much else to do at this point you can head up to Route 207 and
catch a Machop early (They are fairly common. Personally, though, Machop's
final evolution Machamp is sort of meh at this point and not all that
useful down the road). Once you are done in Oreburgh, head back to the
Oreburgh gate (You will also see your Rival near the entrance).

| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You will need Rock Smash and a Pokemon that can use Rock Smash |
| before you can continue in this section |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note that the following is optional (Skip on ahead to the Jublife section
after this one if you want to continue), but I will cover it anyway. You
can now break the rocks to the north of the Oreburgh Gate and enter the
first half of the basement.
The basement is not all that different. You can now find wild Psyduck early
at this point (Not the best water Pokemon in the game), and you can get
some Stardust and TM 70 (Flash, although you can buy it later in the game.
Not to mention Flash is fairly useless in battle). After you get all that,
you cannot continue further until you get a bike and surf.
________________________________________________________________________

\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
Now that you have the first badge, you can now enter the TV station and the
GTS (Since you do not have that many Pokemon in your Pokedex at this point,
it is sort of pointless. However, you might want to get a Cranidos if you
are playing Pearl, it will help quite a bit). You can also get a new
Poketech App by talking to the President of the Poketech Company on the
first floor of the building to the northwest.
Once you are ready to continue, head up directly North foe find Rowan and
his assistant being pestered by some oddly dressed people. Its also time
for your first 2-on-2 trainer battle.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: 2 Team Galactic Grunts |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 9 (Poison/Flying) |
|Wurmple lv 7 (Bug) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Even though this is a easy battle, it is noteable for being one of |
| the few 2-on-2 event battles in the game. Rowan's Assitant will |
| have a lv 13 starter that is the weaker type of your own (Turtwig |
| if you have Chimchar, Chimchar if you have Piplup, and Piplup if |
| you have Turtwig). Your partner will always choose his/her own |
| attacks and you will technically have two targets at once. They |
| will also have two attacks of their own, so be prepared. Zubat goes|
| down with Electric and Psychic (Only types you really have at this |
| point), and Wurmple goes down with Fire. Still, this is a easy |
| battle... |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once that is over, heal up and head up to Route 204.

Another no-thrills route. Not much is different with the available Pokemon
besides being able to catch Budew (Pre-evolution to Roselia, may want to
pick up if you do not have Turtwig). You can also pick up TM 39 (Rock Tomb)

Although the Windworks themselves are your main target, there are a few new
Pokemon worth noting. Buizel is a water type, although he is a bit...meh.
Shellos, however, will be very handy later on (Its evolution is Water/
Ground, same type as Quagsire and has resistance to electric attacks. Get him
if you do not have a Piplup). Parchirisu is a horrible electric Pokemon, so
only catch him for the Pokedex.
Once you are ready, go talk to the Grunt to engage in battle.

|Boss: Team Galactic Grunt |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 11 (Poison/Flying) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Nothing new. If you were able to defeat Zubats earlier, then you |
| can kill this one in just a few moves. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once they are both defeated, you will get some Honey and the Works Key.
Head back to the Valley Windworks.

|Info: Not much new. Glameow does know Fake Out, |

| Wurmple also know Poison Sting, so you |
| might be poisoned. Any decent leveled |
| Pokemon are good. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Now that you have the key, you can go inside. Before you fight the Galactic
Commander, you will have to fight several Grunts (4 total). Before you
fight the commander herself, make sure you heal at a Pokemon Center. Head
to the backroom to start the battle.

|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: While it may seem like her Zubat is normal, it knows Toxic: A move |
| that will increase in power over time as long as you are poisoned. |
| If you do get poisoned, try to heal as soon as you knock it out. |
| Purugly is a little bit of a tank, but will go down quickly if your|
| starter is at its second stage. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you defeat her, they will clear out of the Windworks. Drifloon will
also start showing up outside on Fridays (There will be one you can talk
to right outside, they only appear once every week and do not appear in
the grass. Once you are done with that, continue back to Route 205.

Pretty much every Pokemon in the forest is new, several you want to catch.
However, as soon as you enter the forest, you will be forced to team up
with a trainer named Cheryl. Although you had a partner battle before, here
is some basics:
- When you encounter a wild Pokemon, two of them will appear at once. You
cannot throw a Pokeball until one of them faints. It may be a good idea
to catch Pokemon after you get to Eterna.
- When you have a party member and exit the way you came in, they will wait
at the entrance and rejoin you the next time you enter.
- You cannot surf or use rock climb while a trainer follows you.
- After each battle, yours and the trainers Pokemon will be fully healed.
If any are knocked out, they are revived.
With that out of the way, its good to note that Chansey is a very weak
Pokemon, usually healing itself or you in battle most of the time. However,
it is at lv 15, which isn't too bad. Also, its a good idea to wait until
later to catch Pokemon since you will have to faint one before you can
throw Pokeballs and the trainer will still attack that Pokemon. Another
thing to note is Eterna forest is filled with trainers lined up to have
double battles. Even if you talk to just one, it will still be a double
battle.
To exit Eterna Forest: from the entrance, go right, then up, and then right
again. Head down, then to the right, and then up, and then to the left and
up again. If you get lost, just remember to keep going forward on the path.
Eventually, you will hit two cut-table trees (Although you can't cut them
yet since you do not have the badge or HM yet). If you head right from
those trees, you will be out of the Forest and Cheryl will leave your
party.
Now that she is gone, it may be a good time to catch some Pokemon. Wurmple
and its evolutions are a bit weak, so only catch them for the Pokedex.
Buneary is a decent normal type and somewhat better then Bidoof and such.
Diamond players can get a Murkrow, which now has a new evolution (Plus, it
is a flying/Dark type, which is fairly good considering the lack of dark
types in the game). Pearl players can get Misdreavus, a fairly decent ghost
type (Granted, I still think Gengar is a bit better). Once you are done in
the forest, head over to the other side of Route 205.

|Info: In pretty much every Pokemon game, it is |

| Peck. |

|Info: Zachary's team is like a mixture of the |

| the same tactics you used with Joseph |
| on Goldeen and use anything for the |
| Magikarp. |
\------------------------------------------------/
The Pokemon are pretty much the same, so there is no real point unless you
want to level up. A few fishermen on the bridge as well you can fight. Once
you are done, head east to Eterna City.

First thing: head over to the Pokemon center and heal up. Second thing to
do is head to the house next to the Pokemon center and talk to the old guy
inside to get a Explorer Kit (You have to get it before you can leave town)
You can also now head to the underground and start digging for items (Keep
in mind that some things won't appear until you get the National Dex).
Head up north of the Pokemon Center to meet a young lady named Cynthia. She
will give you HM 01 (Cut), although you cannot use it quite yet. You can
also head over to the Herb Shop and buy some cheaper medicine, although it
will lower your Pokemon's friendship with you.
Next to the Pokemart is a Condominium where you can trade a Buizel for a
Chatot (A flying/normal type you will not see until much later in the game.
Not all that great for battle, though). Once you are ready, head over to
the Eterna City Gym in the lower right corner.

\------------------------------------------------/
Eterna's Gym is sort of a odd one. Instead of trying to avoid trainers to
get to the leader, you will have to fight 3 trainers before you can fight
the leader herself. The bad? They will appear hidden one at a time and
you have to fight them in order. Here are their locations:
- The first is hidden by a tree near the gym leader's area. To reach it:
head up to the gym leader's green platform and then turn to your right.
Go down the path that leads south on the right path and you will find the
trainer at the bottom on the right side.
- The second trainer is located in the Southwestern path. From the first
trainer, go back up and then go left and then down the path. She will be
at the end, somewhat hidden by trees.
- The third trainer is in the northeastern path. From the entrance of the
Gym, head on the first right path and then keep going up until you reach
the end. She will be hidden by a tree.
Once you beat all 3 trainers, the Gym Leader will appear to the very north
of the gym. Make sure you have a few healing items (Like items that can
cure Paralyze and potions) and heal up at the Poke center.

|Pokemon: |
|Cherubi lv 19 (Grass) |
|Turtwig lv 19 (Grass) |
|Roserade lv 22 (Grass/Poison) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Both her Cherubi and Turtwig are fairly weak, flying Pokemon such |
| as Starly and Murkrow can make quick work of them (As well as |
| Chimchar). Roserade is a bit more powerful, being a final evolution|
| and 3 levels above the others. If you have a Kadabra or Alakazam, |
| now would be the time to use them (Psychic moves are effective |
| against poison types). Flying types also work well, since they are |
| somewhat resistant against grass attacks. I don't remember her too |
| well, but I think she used a mixture of poison and paralyze |
| attacks. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat her, you will get the Forest Badge and TM 86 (Grass Knot).
Now that you are done with the Gym, you can continue on your quest. If you
have not yet gone to the northern part of Eterna City, go there now to get
HM 01 (Cut) from Cynthia (The blond lady). There is also a herb shop you
can buy bitter medicine from. Once you have cut, teach it to a Pokemon and
cut down the trees near the spikey building at the north part of town (To
cut, either press A and select yes for the Pokemon that knows cut, or go
into the Pokemon menu and select it). Also note that you will need the Gym
Badge from this town before you can use cut.

| Fortunatly, all it really has is confusion|
| and Disable for attacks, so any dark type |
| attacks (Shinx, Zubat if its at a high |
| enough level), should be fine. Otherwise, |
| use anything powerful that isn't a poison |
| type. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Pretty straightforward for the most part. Your main goal is to get to the
4th floor, while battling Galactic Grunts along the way. Fortunately, you
can avoid most of the grunts in the building, but they are decent EXP if
you need it.
The first floor has 2 grunts you will need to fight to proceed (Near the
staircase). Second floor has all the grunts at computers, so you can avoid
pretty much all of them. Third floor has a grunt near the entrance, so you
cannot avoid that one. Finally, on the 4th floor, you will fight Commander
Jupiter.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Jupiter |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 18 (Poison/Flying) |
|Skuntank lv 20 (Poison/Dark) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Zubat is the same as always, use the same tactics you used on the |
| previous ones. Skuntank is a bit different, though. Because of its |
| Dark type, it cancels out Poison's weakness to Psychic. If you have|
| a Pokemon with ground moves, use those. Otherwise, use your best |
| attacker. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat her, you will rescue the Bike Shop owner, who will then give
you a free bike! Now that everything in Eterna City is out of the way, its
time to continue to Route 206. However, make sure you have the Explorer Kit
from the old man before leaving, or you will be stopped by a lady telling
you to go get one. Heal at the Pokemon center, and go south to Route 206
(AKA Cycling Road). Also, make sure you have a Pokemon thaknows Rock Smash.
However, before we move on, here is the optional Eterna side of Route 211
you can visit before continuing.

|Info: Pretty standard by now. Since Geodude and |
| Onix share the same type, they are both |
| 4x weak against grass and water attacks. |
| Turtwig and Piplup work well, as well as |

Route 211 is a entirely optional route, and is also split into two parts,
one to the East of Eterna City, and one closer to Celestic Town. There
are two trainers on the route you can face now, and a third you can
fight if you have Rock Smash. At the end of the route is a entrance to
Mt. Coronet with a blocked path due to a boulder that you cannot move until
you get Strength. Only other thing you can do here is catch a Chingling and
Meditite for your Pokedex. Once you are ready, head to Route 206.

| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You need the Bike to access the Cycling Road. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note that all the Pokemon on this Route are below the Cycling Road, but you
will need cut to get to them. Anywho, if you have seen 30 Pokemon for your
Pokedex, Rowan's assistant will give you the very handy EXP share (Having
a Pokemon hold it gives it a percentage of shared EXP from battle, as long
as it doesn't fight itself and isn't knocked out). There are some trainers
on route 206, although they are all fairly weak.
Once you get to the bottom of Route 206 and exit the building, you can cut
the right tree and enter the bottom part of Cycling Road. It may be a very
good idea to catch a Bronzor for later, since it will be a powerhouse once
it evolves. You can also enter the Wayward cave, although there isn't much
to do right now (Especially since you do not have flash). Once you are
done, head to Route 207.

As soon as you enter Route 207, Rowan's assitant will greet you and play a
little guessing game. No matter what, you will always get both the VS
Seeker and the Dowsing Machine. The VS Seeker serves the same purpose it
did in FR/LG (To attract trainers that are on routes), while the Dowsing
Machine is a fancy name for the itemfinder Poketech APP.
You can head down to Oreburgh City via the mud ramp, but you will need the
Bike in the higher speed gear to go back up. There are several well hidden
trainers on the route that you can fight by going near the mud slope and
head on the right path, but it doesn't lead anywhere but to a few items.
Once you are ready, head on the right path and enter Mt. Coronet. (Once
again, make sure you have a Pokemon that can do rock smash).

Several new Pokemon to catch. Meditite is a useful Fighting/Psychic Pokemon
that can help curve a few of its weaknesses, so you may want to consider it
if you do not have a decent fighter. Chingling is a new Pre-evolved form of
Chimecho, a rare Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire. However, it is somewhat
weak, so only catch it for collecting purposes. Cleffa is somewhat hard to
find, but it can also be useful. While it is hard to evolve (You need to
level it up via friendship, and then again with a rare Moon stone), its
final form Clefable is a decent Stage 2 Pokemon that can learn a variety of
moves via TMs and HMs.
Anywho, your first trip through Mt. Coronet will be a short run. In fact,
there is only one route through the cave that you can go on. Once you get
up to the stairs, you will meet a mysterious man dressed in similar clothes
to the Galactic grunts you have been fighting. Once that is done, continue
on the route through the cave. Also note that you will run into rocks you
will need Rock Smash for, so if you took my advice earlier you should have
no major problems. Once you are done in the cave, you will be on Route 208.

Few more new Pokemon. Bibarel is the evolved form of Bidoof, which is all
but useless in battle outside as a HM slave (Catch one if you don't plan
on having a full team or want a quick Pokemon to teach HMs to). Psyduck is
a old favorite, although it and its evolved form Golduck are not exactly
the strongest water Pokemon available.
Anywho, once you exit the route, you will find that you are in a mountain
section of the route with several trainers. However, many of them you
cannot even reach until you have the Surf and Rock Climb HMs. Once past the
mountain section, you will be in a grassy area with several trainers, a
house, and a entrance to Hearthome City. If you are collecting berries, go
to the house and talk to the old man inside to get a berry (He gives you
one each day randomly). Once you are done on the route, head to Hearthome
City.

\-------------------------------------------/
A huge city with quite a bit to do! Well, not right now, at least. While
there is a Gym, you cannot enter it until later. In fact, go to the contest
hall right now for a cute little scene with your mother and a Contest
Judge. Afterward, you will get a fashion case and a tux (Male) or dress
(Female). You will also be able to compete in Pokemon contests now,
although it isn't recommended at this point.
However, you may want to get the Poffin case right now, if you really want.
Head to the house that is to the far right of the Pokemart, and talk to the
old guy inside. He will give you a Poffin Case (and a Poffin itself, if I
remember correctly). To make Poffins, you have to go to the Poffin House
that is to the left of the Pokemart. Basically, you will need berries, and
a stylus to make them (sort of a mini-game, I'll explain it later).
Also, if you want egg Pokemon, head to the southeastern part of Hearthome
and talk to the hiker. He will give you a egg that will hatch into Happiny
after 10,259 steps. Happiny is the new Pre-evolved form of Chansey, and
can be a very devastating Pokemon if you raise it to a Blissey. Consider
it if you want a stall Pokemon on your team.
If you are up to make some more money, you might want to take a quick swing
by the Amity Square (Located north of Hearthome). Its not mandatory, but
you might want to check it out anyway.
================
||Amity Square||
===========================================================================
While it may seem like a waste of time, Amity Square has a very helpful
item called the Amulet Coin. To enter, you must have one of the following:
- Pikachu
- Clefairy
- Psyduck
- Pachirisu
- Happiny
- Buneary
- Drifloon
Psyduck, Pachirisu, and Buneary are all ready available Pokemon that you
can find easily at this point in the came (Psyduck being the nearest you
can catch). Drifloon only appears at the Windworks on Fridays, and
Clefairy and Pikachu are a little rare to find.
Anywho, the main thing you want to do here for now is get the Amulet Coin,
which is in one of the old building things to the north. The Amulet Coin
is a item that, when attached to a Pokemon and that Pokemon battles, you
will get double the cash after you win. Good for high paying trainers
and Elite Four battles.
===========================================================================
Once you have seen everything you want to see in Hearthome, head to the
Southwestern gate (Make sure you heal at a Pokemon center first). You will
then fight your rival for the second time.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Starly lv 19 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 20 (Water) |
|Roselia lv 20 (Grass/Poison) |
|Monferno lv 21 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Starly lv 19 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roselia lv 20 (Grass/Poison) |
|Ponyta lv 20 (Fire) |
|Prinplup (Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Piplup) |
|Starly lv 19 (Normal/Flying |
|Buizel lv 20 (Water) |
|Ponyta lv 20 (Fire) |
|Grotile lv 21 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: So far, your rival will be the strongest battle in the game to |
| this point. So, lets look at his weaknesses. |
| |
| Starly is nothing at this point, although it is at a higher level |
| then what you are used to. Electric from a Luxio should bring it |
| down swiftly. |
| |
| Buizel is also another common Pokemon. Once again, a decent level |
| Luxio should have no issue taking it down, if not a grass Pokemon. |
| |
| Roselia is a piece of cake after you fought Gardenia. Fire, ground |
| and Psychic take care of it (Ice does too, but there is no ice |
| Pokemon at this point). |
| |
| Ponyta is a interesting Pokemon. Not only is it fast, but it is one|
| of 2 fire Pokemon families available in Pre-national Dex Sinnoh. |
| Water and Ground take care of it easily. |
| |
| Monferno is going to be a headache if you do not have any flying |
| or water types. If you have a Gyrados (it should have at least |
| Dragon Rage at this point), you should have no problems. |
| |
| Prinplup is pretty much a stronger Buizel. Nothing too special. |
| Luxio should take care of him easily, if not a grass Pokemon. |
| |
| Grotile is also a stronger Roselia, so same tactics against it. |
| However, you do not have any fire Pokemon at this point, so |
| flyers work best. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon for this battle include: a Luxio that is at |
| least lv 17 or higher. A Gyrados that is at least lv 20 (Obviously)|

| Machop using Seismic Toss (Equal to his |

\------------------------------------------------------------/
Rare Pokemon galore! Lets break it down: Mime Jr is the pre-evolved form of
Mr. Mime, but can only be caught in Diamond (Diamond players may want to
pick one up if they did not get Bronzor earlier). Bonsly is the pre-evolved
form of Sudowoodo, a rare Pokemon in earlier games. However, it is somewhat
weak, so I would not recommend picking it up. Chansey are rare, but they
sometimes carry the rare item lucky egg, and commonly carry Happiny's
evolution item (the Oval Stone, equipping it to a Happiny and leveling it
up will cause it to evolve into Chansey).
May want to raise it from the Happiny egg you got earlier, though. Staravia
make its first appearance, although it is recommended you train it from a
Starly. Finally, there is Gastly, which can only be found at night. You can
find plenty later, so avoid catching it for now.
Route 209 is a interesting route. Not only does it have a bunch of trainers
but they all have some fairly rare Pokemon. Your main goal is to get to
Solaceon Town, but you may want to stop at the lost tower on the way, since
it has a item you will need much later. You can find the tower to the right
before entering Solaceon.

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Version exclusive Pokemon! Anywho, Murkrow|
| is part dark type, so psychic types do not|
| work well on it. Misdreavus is interesting|
| since it is a pure ghost type. It has the |
| mean look ability, which does not allow |
| you to switch out. Use Geodude or Shinx on|
| Murkrow and Gastly with ghost type attacks|
| or a very strong Pokemon that can do |
| attacks besides fighting and normal types.|

Fans of older Pokemon games may recognize this as a smaller Pokemon tower.
Not only can you catch ghost and dark Pokemon that were exclusive to Eterna
forest until now, but you can also get Gastly, the prevailed form of
Haunter and Gengar. If you have someone that will trade with you, pick one
up! It can be one of your main Pokemon later in the game, and can win you
some major battles.
Anywho, there are a bunch of trainers, many of which you cannot avoid. Try
to also pick up every item you can if you are training a Happiny. One of
them is a Oval Stone, the item you need to evolve it into a Chansey.
Anywho, the real reason you are here is to get HM04, Strength. To get it,
go to the 5th and final floor and talk to the old lady on the left. While
you cannot use it outside of battle right now, it can be used as a powerful
move in battle, and you will need it much later. Once you are done, head
back down to the bottom (or use a escape rope) and head to Solaceon Town.

For such a small town, you will be here quite a bit once you beat the Elite
Four. Why? Well, the Day Care is here! If you want, you can leave a Pokemon
there right now and pick it up later. While you won't get any EV's from it,
you can put two compatible Pokemon in the center and trade them on the GTS
(even better if you have a female starter). You can also get a breeding APP
from the guy in the Pokemon Day Care when you talk to him, which tracks the
level of any Pokemon in the daycare and if they have a egg.
There are a few other things you can do while you are here. The home next
to the Pokemon Center is a News Press that is looking for someone to show
them a certain Pokemon per day. Note that the Pokemon is random and usually
from the Sinnoh Dex, so it can be a Pokemon you might have never met
before. If you show the person the right Pokemon, he will give you 3 of any
of the common balls out there (Can be anything from Pokeballs to Ultra
balls, including balls such as Luxury Balls).
You can also get a sticker case from the lady to the right of town. Simply
go up to the edge of town, and go right. Go past the first hedges, and go
to the second ones you seen and jump down. Jump down the next set of hedges
to reach a house with a boy and lady inside. The lady will give you a
sticker case, and the boy will give you a sticker for each Unown you catch
(More on that later).
You can also enter the Solaceon Ruins (Head to the right of town, and then
head to the very last set of hedges. Jump down three times until you are
near a tree). There isn't much there besides one single new Pokemon: Unown.
Fans of G/S/C/FR/LG might recognize this rather useless Pokemon. However,
there isn't much to really do at this point in the ruins. Once that is out
of the way, heal at the Pokemon center and head up to Route 210.

| Anywho, is has Baton Pass, but not much to|

| it). Girafarig has a resistance to ghost |

The Pokemon are pretty much the same as 209, but you can now encounter wild
Ponyta. If you did not pick up Chimchar, you might want to pick one up,
since it is the only fire type from now until getting the national Pokedex
that is a fire type.
While you do not need the bike per se, it is a faster solution to get up
the mud slopes then going around in the grass. Once you get to the top, you
will find the route blocked by a flock of Psyduck that you cannot move at
this point. Next to it is a Cafe that has some trainers in it and sells Moo
Moo milk for 500 P. Once you are done here, go right and enter route 215.

Abra and Kadabra! If you have a friend you can trade with, then you can get
Alakazam, one of the best non-legendary Psychic types in the game. However,
you might want to pick up Kadabra anyway, since it still is a strong
psychic type (although with weak HP).
Route 215 can be a bit confusing. Not only is there a bunch of trainers on
the route, but it is always raining (which does the same effect as using
the rain dance move). Not only is fire weak on this route, but Thunder is
now 100% effective and water attacks are much more powerful.
Anywho, the route is fairly confusing at first, but here is what you should
do to get to the end: go up the first set of steps and over the bridge, and
go down. Head down and to the right and head up the steps to the next
bridge. Head over the bridge and go down. From there, the route is fairly
straightforward. Head to Veilstone afterward.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The two trainers near the end of the route are good EXP. |
| Fight them if you are weak, since a gym is coming up soon. |

***NOTE***
System Error has this to add about the vending machines:
"Occasionally, when buying drinks, you may receive the message "Bonus!
Another can of X dropped down." after buying a drink, and you'll get
two of that drink for the price of one. It's prety rare, though; and I
've only had it happen two or three times out of like 500 drinks
bought."
For fans that remember Celadon and Goldenrod, Veilstone is pretty much the
same. Not only does it have a giant department store, but it also has a
game corner for slots. In truth, you can't do much up north of the city
until you beat the gym leader. Grunts will block you way until then. You
can go to the department store and get some good items, including great
balls and vending machinedrinks at the very top (These are the same at
potions, but are much cheaper). Stock up on a few before you head out.
You can get a Pokemon massage in the southwestern part of town, in the
house on the left, for free. Not only that, but you will also get items for
contests each time you do it. The items themselves are random, and you can
only do it once a day. On the house to the right of the grooming lady is a
house that you can get the coin case. Talk to the clown inside and choose
the correct hand to get it (I think it is random. If you get the wrong
hand, talk to him again).
Not much else you can do. There are stones to the right that have no use
unless you have Deoxys (A event Pokemon you won't have at this point, or
maybe never). Once you are ready, head to the gym for your 3rd gym battle.

\------------------------------------------------/
Fighters! Not only that, but a bunch of weird things you have to slide
around. To get to the gym leader, you have to do the following:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| There is 6 little arena areas in the gym in a 3 x 2 position. I |
| personally go right to left, so the first arena will be the |
| one to the lower right, while the second will be the one on the |
| middle right. Here is a small diagram of what I mean) |
| |
| [6] [4] [2] |
| [5] [3] [1] |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
================
||First Slider||
===========================================================================
*In the first arena, slide the first slider to the right.
*In the second arena, slide the first slider to the right.
*Go around to the left side of the first arena and slide the
slider to the right.
*Go to the left of the second arena and slide the slider to
the right.
*Head to the right of the first and second arenas and slide
the slider that is blocking your way to the second one to
the left.
*Continue to the top of the second arena and slide the slider
at the top to the left.
*Head to the left of the second arena via the path you
created and press the first slider near the gym leader
to the left.
===========================================================================
=================
||Second Slider||
===========================================================================
-Head to the 3rd arena and slide the first slider to the
left.
-Head up to the middle of the 3rd and 4th arena and slide
the slider to the left.
-Head to the left of the 3rd arena and slide the slider to
left.
-Head to the left of the 4th arena and slide the slider to
the left.
-Head to the left of the 5th arena and slide the slider to
the right.
-Head to the left of the 6th arena and slide the slider to the
right.
-Head up the right side of the 6th arena via the path you
created and slide the second slider near the gym leader
to the right.
===========================================================================
Once that is all done, head up the path you created on the 3rd and 4th
arenas to the gym leader, Maylene.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Maylene |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Meditite lv 27 (Psychic/Fighting) |
|Machoke lv 27 (Fighting) |
|Lucario lv 30 (Fighting/Steel) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: For such a small gym leader, she can be very hard as hell to |
| defeat. Two of Maylene's Pokemon are somewhat resistant against |
| Psychic attacks, and one of them is resistant against flying |
| attacks. Lets analyze her Pokemon. |
| |
| Meditite is her first and weakest Pokemon. It is a Psychic/Fighting|
| Pokemon, so it cancels out Fighting's weakness against Psychic and |
| can still strike ghosts. Best thing to do against Meditite is use |
| a flying type like Staravia. |
| |
| Machoke is the second of her Pokemon, and is the only pure fighter |
| on her team. If you caught a Kadabra earlier, then use it against |
| Machoke. Flyers also work well, as well as ghost types such as |
| Gastly/Misdreavus. |
| |
| Lucario is the strongest on her team, and a real pain in the ass |
| to take down. Not only does its Steel type make it hard for |
| Psychics and Flyers to take down, but its drain punch can take out |
| most things in one to two hits, and heal itself. You will need a |
| strong fire type, a Ponyta or Monferno work well. If not, Gyrados |
| and Dragon Rage can help. Ghosts can also work to some extent. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include Staravia at at least lv 27, Gyrados |
| at about lv 25 or more, Ponyta or Monferno at lv 27 or more, |
| Haunter at lv 28 or more, and Kadabra at lv 28 or more. |
| |
| A user named Wraith36444 recommends the following: "Use a lv 34 |
| Staraptor with Aerial Ace and Close Combat.". |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| One reader recommends the following: |
| |
| "All you need is a lvl 26-27 Luxio with Spark and lvl 22 Staravia |
| with Endeavor and Quick Attack (Wing Attack optional). Have Luxio |
| out first with spamming spark till meditite is dead. Now |
| generally, she will call out Lucario next. |
| |
| Switch to Staravia and choose Endeavor as your first move. As |
| long as he doesn't critical, it should take you to very low hp |
| and endeavor will do the same to him. Next use Endeavor again |
| (because she will use a hyper potion on him) and it will bring |
| him back down. |
| |
| Then use quick attack (she won't use a third hyper potion) and it |
| will kill lucario. Keep staravia out. At this point, you can do 2 |
| things: 1: Use endeavor again and hope machoke doesn't kill |
| staravia before then or 2: Use a super potion and finish it off |
| with any flying attacks you have. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat her, you will get TM60 (Drain Punch) and the Cobble Badge.
When you exit the gym, Rowan's assistant will come up and ask you for aid,
since Team Galactic stole her Pokedex. Head to the Pokemon center to heal
up, and then head up to the north part of Veilstone via the left path to
see Rowan's assitant and a couple of grunts. Double battle time!
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Galactic Grunts |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: (Trainer 1) |
|Beautifly lv 25 (Flying/Bug) |
|Stunky lv 25 (Dark/Poison) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon (Trainer 2) |
|Dustox lv 25 (Bug/Poison) |
|Croagunk lv 25 (Poison/Fighting) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Another fairly hard fight, mostly because Rowan's Assistant choose |
| a crappy Pokemon to fight with (I think he/she had other Pokemon, |
| but I do not remember exactly). Clefairy is pretty much useless, and|
| can only put others to sleep using sing, using metronome, or using |
| the weak Double Slap Attack. |
| |
| In terms of the Galactic Pokemon, they are fairly annoying. |
| Fortunately, if you have a Psychic Pokemon, you can take out 2 of |
| the 4 easily. Beautifly and Dustox go down with fire attacks, so |
| use Monferno if you have him. Stunky is the pre-evolved form of |
| Stuntank, a Pokemon you fought earlier via a admin, so use the same |
| tactics you used against Stuntank. Croagunk is a new one, being one |
| of the only Pokemon with the Poison/Fighting type. Psychic works |
| great on it, and so does Ground attacks. |
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat the galactic grunts, they will give Dawn back her Pokedex.
You will also now have access to the warehouse, where you can pick up HM02
(Fly), a powerful flying move that is similar to the move Dig. At this
point, you should head back to Heartrome and go on the now opened Route 212
(Which is south of the city).

Not much in the way of Pokemon. You can catch a Roselia easy now, so you
may want to do so if you need a decent grass type. Wooper is also available
which evolves into Quagsire: similar to Shellos in many ways. The route
itself is very interesting, since it is split into two parts: The long
stretched route from Hearthome that has security guards lurking around that
will battle you at night (A trainer type back from GSC!), and Pokemon
Mansion, a place where you can find some rare Pokemon. You can visit there
now, if you wish, but we will cover that later.
The second part of the route is raining like it was in Route 215, and now
has mud to annoy you. In truth, there is not much else on the route besides
Pokemon Mansion, so head on over to Pastora as soon as possible.

Pastora is a interesting place. Not only does it have the 4th gym, but it
also has the Great Marsh, the unique Safari game designed for DP. Anywho,
the Move Tutor is also located in this city. He will teach a Pokemon any
move it can learn as long as it has the proper level. However, you will
need a heart scale found in the underground, or wild Luvdisc (Which cannot
be found until much later). Ignore him for now.
The scarf man is a person found in the eastern most house, near the gate to
Route 213. He will give you certain scarfs if your Pokemon's contests stats
are maxed out in a certain area. Once again, not exactly something you can
do now.
The Great Marsh is a optional place you can hit for several rare Pokemon.
Like the previous safari games, you get 30 balls for 500p and around 500
steps to find certain Pokemon. The Pokemon change each day, and some
Pokemon can only be found in the great marsh (Like Croagunk). Also, you
might want to pick up the HM05 that the very first person you see in the
GM will give to you (A crappy HM that is very similar to Flash, and can
only be used mostly by birds). You will need it later, though.
There is also a berry lady in a house near the entrance to Route 212. She
will give you one of the newer berries each day, so you might want to talk
to her every day if you have been collecting berries. Once you are ready,
head to the Gym.

Well...Crap...Another annoying gym. This time, you have to press certain
buttons to make the water rise and fall. To get to Crasher Wake, here are
the directions:
- From the start, head forward and go on the left path and hit the Yellow
button to make the water drain all the way.
- From there, head down the steps to your right and then head on the path
until you are on a platform near the gym leader with a fisherman, and a
green button. Press it.
- Ignoring the yellow button, head on the right path and continue to a
platform with a sailor and a blue button. Press it.
- Head on the only path available and hit the green button at the end.
- Head to your right, and press the yellow button to drain it all the way.
- Continue to the northern path and head to the platform that has a sailor
and a blue button on it (near the gym leader). Press it.
- Finally, head right, ignoring the green button, and walk up to the gym
leader.
One recommendation is that you take care of all the trainers first, and
then go heal and come back and do the puzzle. Once you are ready, fight
Crasher Wake.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Crasher Wake |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Gyrados lv 27 (Water/Flying) |
|Quagsire lv 27 (Ground/Water) |
|Floatzel lv 30 (Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Maybe its just me, or Crasher Wake was always a pushover when |
| compared to your last gym battle (Doesn't help that his Pokemon |
| are the same levels). Anywho, lets break it down for you. |
| |
| Gyrados may be the most powerful Pokemon on his team. Gyrados does |
| not take as much damage from Grass attacks as other water Pokemon, |
| but takes almost crippling damage from electric attacks. Luxio |
| can take out Gyrados almost instantly if he is at a decent level. |
| |
| Quagsire is pretty much the opposite. It does not take ANY damage |
| from electric attacks due to its ground type, but takes crippling |
| damage from grass types due to its dual water/ground type. Grotile |
| or Torterra should be able to take if out easily. If you don't have|
| either, then use your strongest attacks on him. |
| |
| Even though Floatzel is his highest level Pokemon, its his weakest |
| Pokemon. Both electric and grass Pokemon do high damage to Floatzel|
| and it can pretty much be taken out by most higher level Pokemon |
| (Your Pokemon should at least be lv 25-32.) |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxio at at least lv 28 or so, Grotile|
| or Torterra at lv 28 and up, and possibly a backup of some sorts |
| (Such as Pikachu/Raichu, or a Roselia) at around lv 25 or so. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| A reader named John was kind enough to send in this strategy: |
| |
| "Hi there, |
| |
| Just submitting an easier way to beat Crasher Wake than on your |
| guide. It requires the following: |
| -10+ Super Potions (shouldn't ever be without those anyway) |
| -2+ persim berries / lava cookies / full heals |
| -1x TM25 (Thunder) |
| -And one level 23 Gyarados (so it knows Dragon Rage) |
| |
| Technique: |
| |
| VS. Gyarados: You have 83 HP, and he doesnt have a whole lot more. |
| Use dragon rage twice, then two Super Potions. If he uses swagger, |
| immediately use a persim berry/lava cookie/full heal. Once he has |
| around 50-60% of his HP left, use Thunder. It wiped him out in one |
| hit for me. (Editor Note: One thunder should be enough to take out |
| Waker's Gyarados, in my humble opinion...) |
| |
| VS. Quagsire: Dragon Rage is your friend. If you got swaggered 3 |
| or 4 times vs. Garayados, use tackle as well, since it'll do decent|
| damage. Drops in about 3-4 hits depending on if Wake uses a super |
| potion on it (which he did against me). |
| |
| VS. Floatzel: 1x Dragon Rage, 1x Thunder... if it's still alive and|
| kicking after that, tackle it. Should end the battle around level |
| 24.5-25, depending how far into 23 you were when you started, with |
| only using one pokemon, and not even a high level one at that. |
| Result ;)" |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Man, Wake must be a popular Gym Leader! After the above was |
| submitted, another reader (A bit mad about the strategy above) |
| sent this strategy in (Note, it has been edited for clarity, |
| grammar, punctuation, and such. Also, he adivises this be used |
| for Monferno users): |
| |
| "Okay for one not to make whoever made the lil guide for the |
| battle with crasher wake feel bad. its just not easy and nor |
| is it any good." |
| |
| For one Dragon rage does 40 dmg regardless of stats... so if you |
| used 2 on his gyarados chances are you wont need to use thunder |
| just Dragon Rage it again. |
| |
| Plus seeing as Gyarados is Water/Flying its 4x the dmg if you |
| use any electric attack so a thunder from any pokemon around lvl |
| 20 is gonna fry that badboy up in 1 hit. So he made another |
| mistake... Swagger wont increase the damage that Dragon Rage does |
| either. Plus its a death wish for yourself. |
| |
| Using this guys strategy means using alot of super potions which |
| means youll need more than 10 which will cost you cash you need. |
| And it still probably wont see you through the match for one his |
| Gyarados would probably be faster and by the time you got 2 Dragon |
| Rages done and tried to heal he would have you locked in a healing |
| spree and there is no end to that. |
| |
| Now for Quagsire: I'm sorry, but it doesnt work either. What he |
| said is just bogus info. Dragon rage does only 40 dmg no more, no |
| less and if you get swaggered that much your probably already had |
| Gyarados faint. I'll end it here. |
| |
| Floatzel: If you did manage to get here again it should only take |
| 1 thunder, no Dragon Rage at all which still at 23-24. You dont |
| have any speed to compete with a floatzel and you did, you still |
| would not have the power to actually 1 hit it so you get hit with |
| Brine and probably be fainted again. |
| |
| Let me break it down right now into how the battle should go |
| |
| Gyarados: Luxio lvl 27: Spark-done he fainted |
| |
| Quagsire: Any pokemon with a grass attack... Monferno with Grass |
| Knot works well here it should be a one shot hit if |
| you've been training right. |
| |
| Floatzel: Luxio again spark- after a couple hits he should go down |
| respectively |
| |
| Look, Wake is a really an easy gym even if you chose Monferno. If |
| he is at around lv 27-28, he should be enough for Quagsire and any |
| smart player would know that Monferno with a grass move just makes |
| him all the better as a starter choice. You dont need to spend a |
| dime on this battle unless you have not trained a bit. |
| |
| |
| Its a good thought and might have worked for him but it is much |
| harder that he realizes and yours is quicker and easier of the |
| two. Again, no offense but Ive been playing since R/B/Y... I know |
| what I am talking about. |
| |
| Gym leader battle (previous easier strat) 5-10 minutes at least |
| Gym leader battle (my strat) 1-3 minutes easy. |
| |
| Cost: Depends on how much you use with his... over 10k at most |
| Cost: Depends on how much you use with mine... 2k at most |
| |
| Faster, easier, and less cost. Sorry to John, but keep trying to |
| improve your strats. |
| |
| Sorry, didn't mean to make anyone feel bad. You can post this as a |
| strat for Monferno users to include their starter into the battle |
| and making Quagsire take some heavy blows. Im not flaming, i'm |
| just stating the obvious. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat Wake, you will get the Fen Badge and TM55, Brine. You will
also notice that the gym is still filled up with water. Well...thats your
problem (Hint: use the nearest yellow button and go from there).
Update: A reader was kind enough to send me this message:
"Hi Jason,
I read your faq/walkthrough on gamefaqs, that's a really fantastic
one. It helps me very much.
But here I want to tell you something you've got wrong.
After beat the Pastora Gym, you don't need to step any button to get
out. Just get out of the Gym by walking around the outer wall. There
is a way connected the entrance and the boss platform when the water
is full."
So yeah, appearntly, you can exit the Gym much easier that way. Head to the
Pokemon center and heal, and then go near the Great Marsh (Get HM05 if you
have not yet) and talk to the Galactic Grunt. He will run away, and then
you will run into your rival. RIVAL FIGHT!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Starly lv 26 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 25 (Water) |
|Roselia lv 25 (Grass/Poison) |
|Monferno lv 28 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Starly lv 26 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roselia lv 25 (Grass/Poison) |
|Ponyta lv 25 (Fire) |
|Prinplup lv 28(Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Piplup) |
|Starly lv 26 (Normal/Flying |
|Buizel lv 25 (Water) |
|Ponyta lv 25 (Fire) |
|Grotile lv 28 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: For some very strange reason, your rival has the EXACT same team |
| he did last time, only about 6-8 levels stronger. The fight is |
| so similar, that I won't even write a strategy for it. Fight him |
| the same way you did back in Hearthome. If you beat Wake pretty |
| easily, you should have no trouble. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After that mild annoyance is out of the way, go heal at the Pokecenter and
head on over to Route 213.

Route 213 is a pretty unremarkable route. So unremarkable, that the only
major new Pokemon is Wingull, a poor man's Gyrados. Catch it if you want,
and continue. Your main goal here is to pester the Galactic Grunt.
Keep walking on the route, and you will eventually find yourself on the
beach. There is also a house here that you can get a ribbon from if your
Pokemon has a high friendship rating with you, but you may want to ignore
that for now. Talk to the grunt on your way and he will run off again.
Continue on down the beach until you find a entrance...To a resort?
====================
||Hotel Grand Lake||
===========================================================================
If you want, you can heal yourself at the gatehouse by talking to the
guard. You can also get a new TM called Trick Room, which makes your
Pokemon go first for 5 turns (May want to save it for later. Don't want
to waste it on a useless Pokemon).
There is also a Restaurant here with changing trainers. However, it closes
fairly late at night, so you might not be able to do much here. Talk to the
grunt near the restaurant, and he will run off. Head north of the resort to
find Route 214.

Bunch of new Pokemon! Stunky is a diamond exclusive, while Sudowoodo is a
Pearl exclusive (Diamond players may want to pick up a Stunky or two for
Pearl players). Girafarig is also a new Pokemon, although its only major
advantage is its type. You can also now catch wild Gravler, although there
is little point in catching a wild one unless you want to trade it on the
GTS.
Anywho, continue down the route until you find the Galactic trainer again.
After all that running, he will finally fight you!

| normal type, one you have fought many times before. Just use your |
| strongest Pokemon. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once that is done, continue north and you will run into Cynthia again, who
will give you the Secretpotion (Small reference to Gold and Silver
versions). After you get the secret potion, it will now be time to finally
get those Psyduck to move off of Route 210!
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| For those who are having trouble finding Cynthia, a few things. Have|
| you beaten the Pastoria City gym yet? Did you come from Pastoria |
| or the Veilstone side? Did you encounter the Galactic Grunt several |
| times and eventually fight him? |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Continue north and you should be back in Veilstone. Heal, and head back to
215 via the left route. Continue until you reach 210 again, near the
Psyduck patch. Press A and they will move.

|Seedot |Both |4% |Ruby |
|Nuzleaf |Both |4% |Ruby |

\------------------------------------------------------------/
Several new Pokemon. Machoke is one you might want to catch if you don't
want to train a Machop or want to trade on the GTS. Hoothoot and Noctowl
are both new Pokemon (Although very weak and should only be captured for
the Pokedex).
Anywho, the route itself is interesting. The first stretch of the route is
covered with long grass, meaning you will be unable to use your bike in it.
Second, there are several ninja trainers here that are hidden (Although
they are very weak).
Third thing you will notice is when you get farther up. Everything will be
foggy! This is a very annoying condition that will lower accuracy for both
your and your opponents Pokemon. You will need a bird Pokemon with Defog
(Gotten from the great marsh earlier) to clean everything up.
There is also a bunch of trainers on the bridge, so you might want to pack
some potions, revives, and such, since it will be a long trip. While you
can get to Celestic Town without Defog, it is recommended (Granted, if you
have came this far already, you might as well go through the fog instead
of going all the way back to Pastoria Town). Once you cross the bridge,
you will be in Celestic Town.

\-------------------------------------------/
Your typical small town, Celestic town is so small that it does not have a
Gym, nor does it even have a Pokemart! However, there is a shop in the
upper left corner that will sell you several rare items, including Quick
Balls, Dusk Balls, and Timer Balls. You can also talk to the man inside
at certain times to get a certain item (See the side quest section for more
info).
Your main goal, however, is the center of town where the Galactic Grunt is.
Heal at the Poke center, and go and fight him.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Galactic Grunt |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Beautifly lv 25 (Bug/Flying) |
|Croagunk lv 27 (Fighting/Poison) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Isn't this the same guy you fought earlier in Veilstone? Oh well, |
| he is pretty much the same. Beautifly goes down with fire and ice |
| and Croagunk goes down with ground and psychic attacks. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, a old woman will come up and thank you. You will then
give the charm Cynthia asked you to deliver earlier, and she will take you
inside the ruins. Once inside, she will explain and few things, and then
give you HM03, which is Surf. Teach it to one of your water Pokemon, since
it is one of the strongest Water attacks in the game besides Hydro Pump.
However, you cannot use it out of battle until you beat the Hearthome gym
leader, which will be your next destination.
Head outside to be greeted by Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, and then
heal at the Pokemon Center. If you want to head to a optional route, go
West of Celestic town to find the other half of Route 211. Otheriwse, head
back to Hearthome, and head to the Gym to find it occupied again!

The Celestic Side of Route 211 has a little bit more going for it then the
Eterna side, although you are still not required to go here in order to
finish the game. There is 4 berry trees here with a Pecha, Aspear, Iapapa,
and Grepa berries, as well as a Sweet Honey Tree that is reasonably close
to a flight area. In addtion, there are several decently leveled trainers
here, and a few evolved forms of Pokemon you have already seen. Once you
are done, head to the Hearthome Gym.

Get ready....for.....HHHHHHAAAARRRDDDCOOOORRREEEEE MMMMAAATTTHHH!!!
Anywho, this should be pretty easy if you have a 5th grade education
(Remember, stay and school and don't do drugs...well, at least until your
college years, ahem).
Getting back, I have no idea if this is randomly selected, or if its preset
for each game. Here is the problems and solution I get. Note that if you
get it wrong, you will have to fight a trainer.
Questions:
+--------------------------------------+
|#1: |
|Question: 3 plus 5 plus 7 is? |
|<2 ^16 >15 |
| |
|Correct answer is: 15 |
+--------------------------------------+
|#2: |
|Question: 12 plus 28 is? |
|<30 ^40 >50 |
| |
|Correct Answer is: 40 |
+--------------------------------------+
|#3: |
|Question: 3 times 13 is? |
|<39 ^93 >33 |
| |
|Correct Answer is: 39 |
+--------------------------------------+
|#4: |
|Question: The first room's answer? |
|<2 ^16 >15 |
|Correct answer is: 15 |
+--------------------------------------+
If you are too lazy to look, then the correct doors are: Right door, middle
door, Left door, right door. After the 4th door, you will be in Fatina's
room
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Fatina |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Drifblim lv 32 (Ghost/Flying) |
|Gengar lv 34 (Ghost/Poison) |
|Mismagius lv 36 (Ghost) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Fatina is a interesting gym leader. Her Pokemon type of choice, |
| Ghost, is one of the more exotic types in the game. Not only is it |
| resistant to normal and fighting attacks, but it has a strength |
| against psychic types. With me, I cheated a bit and used a Gengar |
| I got off the GTS that was around lv 50. However, this may be much |
| harder for you. |
| |
| First up, Drifblim is her weakest Pokemon, although it can absorb |
| a bunch of damage. Electric type attacks work best, so Luxio or a |
| electric type should be your Pokemon of choice. |
| |
| Gengar is pretty much her strongest, even if it is 2 levels below |
| her main Pokemon. Ghost types work best and is also weak against |
| Psychic attacks against a non-psychic type. Personally, I used my |
| own Gengar to fight hers. |
| |
| Mismagius is her strongest Pokemon, and the only one on her team |
| that is a pure Ghost type. The only thing that is strongly |
| effective against ghosts is other ghost types and Dark attacks. |
| Diamond players have the chance to catch Murkrow (and if you can |
| find a dusk stone, Honchkrow), while Pearl players have to settle |
| for either Gengar or their own Misdreavus or Mismagius. Best thing |
| to do? Use your strongest Pokemon (Empoleon with surf works well). |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxio at at least lv 30 or so, Gravler|
| at about lv 32 or so, Haunter or Gengar at a much higher level |
| (Lv 50 works well, get of GTS if you can), Murkrow and Honchkrow |
| at lv 32 or so. Any normal types also work well, since ghost |
| types cannot attack them. Also, it is highly recommended that you |
| do not use any Psychic types, since they are weak against Ghost. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Here is a alternate strategy from Vyse505: |
| |
| "I found it battle to be really easy and managed to take down all |
| 3 of her pokemon with my lvl 32 Gyarados. When I went up against |
| Drifblim, I used a combination of Ice Fang (which Gyrardos learns |
| at lvl 32) and bite. For Mismagius, I just used bite and then |
| healed using moomoo milk ( you can get it at the house on route |
| 210), to bring my Gyarados back to full health. During the fight |
| with Gengar I also just used bite to win. |
| |
| But luck was on my side during the 3rd battle since Gyrardos |
| snapped out of his confusion state on his next turn and with that |
| fight I just used two super potions. The main fault with this plan|
| is the speed since her pokemon will more then likely get to attack|
| before you do and as I said before a little bit of luck may also |
| be needed, but a good backup pokemon would be Luxray at lvl 35 |
| with the move Crunch(that's when it learns crunch if you let Luxor|
| evolve at lvl 30 if not Luxor learns it at lvl 32). |
| |
| Crunch is a lot stronger then bite so it will really come in handy|
| against the other trainers and the gym leader her self, but like I|
| said I was able to beat her with just my lvl 32 Gyrardos. If your |
| Gyrardos isn't at that lvl battle the trainers in the gym since |
| they give out pretty decent exp. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat her, you will get the Relic Badge and TM 65, Shadow Claw. You
can also now surf outside of battle if you want. Your next destination will
be to go all the way back to Jublife City. Heal up at the Pokemon center,
make sure you have a Pokemon that can use surf, and then head head to the
upper left part of town to reach Route 218.

Although you could have entered this route at the beginning of the game,
you could not get far without surf. Now that you have it, you will be able
to get to a new (oddly placed) city. Anywho, Pearl players can now catch a
Glameow if they want (Catch a few for Diamond players), and Gastrodon is
now catch-able (Evolved form of Shellos). Pokemon can now be caught on the
water as well. Tentacool being a common new one (Still weak as ever,
though), while Pelipper can rarely be found.
Not much to do once you Surf across. You can battle a few trainers, but
that is about it. Head left to find the gate to Canalave City.

RIVAL FIGHT!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Staravia lv 31 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 32 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 30 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Roselia lv 32 (Grass/Poison) |
|Monferno lv 35 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Staravia lv 31 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roselia lv 32 (Grass/Poison) |
|Heracross lv 30 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Ponyta lv 32 (Fire) |
|Prinplup lv 35(Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Pinlup) |
|Staravia lv 31 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 32 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 30 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Ponyta lv 32 (Fire) |
|Grotile lv 35 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Once again, not much is different in your rivals team. For some |
| odd reason, he decided to evolve his Staravia at this point, but |
| not his Buizel and Grotile...Anywho. The biggest change in your |
| Rival's lineup is Heracross, a Bug/Fighting Pokemon. Psychic and |
| fire work great against him, as well as a semi-resistant to ghost |
| (Meaning Haunter/Gengar would be a good choice). Otherwise, his |
| team is only 4-6 levels higher then the last time you fought him. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you are done battling him, you will be able to explore the city a bit
more. The move deleter is located directly north of the Pokemart. He will
delete any move as long as it is not the Pokemon's last and only move.
There is a library that you will need to go to after you beat the Canalave
Gym, although there really isn't anything there at this point besides a few
interesting reads. You can also head to Iron Island using the boat in the
lower left part of town (More on that later). Once you are ready, head to
the gym.

Platform fun! You will pretty much have to fight almost every trainer due
to their location, but it is good EXP anyway. Here is how you get to the
Gym leader:
* Head to the right and head down the first turn you see. Ignore the first
three platforms you see, but get on the fourth.
* Head down the path to the next platform.
* Fight the trainer, and then continue to the next platform on the path.
* Head on the moving platform, and then head to the next platform.
* On the next area, head on the northern platform.
* Go past the first platform you see, and fight the next trainer. Get on
the upper most platform.
* Ride the next platform over. From this point on, it will pretty much be
straightforward. Keep going on the paths until you find a red platform,
which will bring you to the gym leader.
You might want to go back and heal before you fight the next Gym Leader,
Byron.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Byron |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Bronzor lv 36 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Steelix lv 36 (Steel/Ground) |
|Bastiodon lv 39 (Steel/Rock) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Here is a small fun fact: Byron is Rock's (The first gym leader) |
| father! Like his son, he prefers ground and rock Pokemon, but his |
| main type is Steel. |
| |
| On one hand, all of his Steel Pokemon have some of the highest |
| defenses in the game. On the other hand, their attack power mostly |
| sucks. Your pretty much going to do little damage unless you use |
| weaknesses against him. |
| |
| For RS players, Bronzor is like a pseudo Metagross. Not only that, |
| but its ability allows it to void any ground attacks used against |
| it. Fire is its only weakness, and there are very few fire Pokemon |
| available. Best Pokemon to use it your starter (As long as it |
| isn't Torterra). |
| |
| Steelix is a old fan favorite. Fortunately, compared to when you |
| first fought it in GS, it is far easier to take down. Water, fire, |
| fighting and ground attacks are all effective against. it. This |
| also means that all of your starters should be able to take it out |
| with no problem. |
| |
| Bastiodon is going to be a bitch...While it has a somewhat sucky |
| attack rating, its defense is one of the highest in the game, just |
| below Shuckles. Water, fighting and ground are recommended. Any |
| other type will do pretty poor damage to it (Fortunately, Fighting |
| and Water have the highest attack rating, since it does 4x damage +|
| STAB bonus if it is the highest type). Needless to say, all of your|
| starters will be able to take down Bastiodon just fine. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: your starter at around lv 40 or so, |
| Ponyta/Rapidash at lv 40 or so, fighting Pokemon such as Machoke |
| at lv 37 or so, and any water Pokemon (Such as Gyrados) at lv 38 or|
| so. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Byron, you will get the Mine Badge and TM91, Flash Cannon.
After you beat Byron, head outside and your rival will tell you to go to
the library in the northwestern part of town. Head there, and you will find
your rival, Rowan, and his assistant. He will then tell you that the three
lakes are in trouble, and that you should investigate them.
Your first late will be Lake Valor, the one to the south of Veilstone. Fly
to Veilstone, and then go south near the Valor Lakefront. The path to the
lake that was blocked earlier will now be open.

|Info: Croagunk is the same as the others, while |
| dustox still has whirlwind and moonlight. |
| Beautifly has Mega Drain as its sole |
| attack moove. Psychic works well for the |
| two poison types, and electric or fire for|
| Beautifly |
\------------------------------------------------/
Lake Valor is full of Grunts that will be hard to dodge. Your main goal,
however, is to get to the Valor Cavern. Fight your way through, and enter
the cavern. Inside, you will have your first battle with Galactic Admin
Saturn.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Saturn |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Kadabra lv 35 (Psychic) |
|Bronzor lv 35 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Toxicroak lv 37 (Fighting/Psychic |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: For a admin, Saturn can be as tough as a Gym leader if you are not |
| prepared. For Kadabra: dark, ghost, and bug attacks work best |
| (If you have a Mismagius, use that). Use the same strategy you used|
| against Byron's Bronzor for Saturns. Toxicroak is the evolved form |
| of the Croagunk's you have been seeing quite a bit. Psychic and |
| flying attacks are your best bet. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you are done here, you will need to fly over to Lake Verity (The lake
from the beginning of the game near Twinleaf town) to fix that lake.

\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you get there, you will find Galactic goons all over the place.
However, you will have to fight in Double battles so be prepared. You can
head back to Twinleaf town to heal up, or you can continue to the edge to
fight the second Admin battle against Mars.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Mars |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Golbat lv 37 (Poison/Flying) |
|Bronzor lv 37 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Purugly lv 39 (Normal) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Similar to Satun, only a bit stronger. Golbat pretty much goes down|
| with Psychic, Ice and Electric attacks. Bronzor is about the same |
| as the last one you fought, only 2 levels higher. Purugly is her |
| toughest one, and may be a pain in the ass to take down. If you |
| have a Infernape with a decent fighting type move on it, use it. |
| If you took out Saturn with no problems, then Mars should not be |
| that bad. However, you might want to take some potions and revives,|
| just in case. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Mars, she will tell you that Lake Acuity will be under attack
as well. However, Lake Acuity is a lake you have never been to before! Not
only that, but it is located quite a ways away, near where the next gym is.
To get there, head to Celestic Town and then head on the route on the left.
Continue into Mt. Coronet, and head down the north path (Make sure you have
the Strength HM taught to one of your Pokemon. Once you are through the
cave, you should be on Route 216.

New Pokemon galore! Well, not quite, but this is your first time seeing ice
Pokemon. Snover is a interesting Ice/Grass type that nulls its weakness to
ice, but receives 4X damage from fire attacks. Sneasel is a dark/ice type
that now has a evolution (Although you cannot evolve it until after the
Elite Four). Might want to pick it up, since it is a fairly decent Dark
type.
You will also see that it is snowing in Route 216, a first. For some odd
reason, you will also be affected by the Hail condition that does a little
bit of damage each turn for every non-ice Pokemon.
If you want, there is a rest stop near the end of Route 216 at the only
home in the area. Heal up before you head on to Route 217.

Not much is different Pokemon-wise from Route 216, although you can catch a
Meditite if you want. Even then, you won't be able to catch any Pokemon
until the end of the route. For the most part, the route is hard to get
through due to the snow. You constantly have to press forward in some areas
since you go so slow, although there are fortunately not that many trainers
to battle.
Few things to note on this route: stick to the left of the route until you
come across a house. Go behind it on the right side and press A. You should
find HM08, Rock Climb. If you can't find it, make sure you are on the very
right of the house, not behind it (Think of the edge, from there move one
step to your right, look up, and press A).
The second thing to note is the snow covered rock found on the very right
of the route, near the end. You will know when you see it when you see
a bunch of grass with a stone not surrounded by grass in the middle. While
it is no use right now, you will need to use it later to evolve Eevee into
one of its new forms.
Your main goal in this route is to head north. The path to get further
on the route is to the left, so hug the left wall until you see a tree
blocking your path, and then go right until you see a path going forward.
You will now be in the grassy area, near Lake Acuity. One problem, though:
Galactic Grunts will be blocking your path until you get your 7th gym
badge. With that in mind, ignore the lake for now and head on the right
path until you read Snowpoint City.

For some odd reason, I always think of Majora's Mask when I hear this city.
Anywho, there is very little to do in this town right now besides a couple
of things. The town is in a X formation, with a building in each of the 4
points (Gym is in the middle, and the Snowpoint Temple is to the north).
You can't enter the temple at this point, so ignore it for now.
In the upper left house is a woman looking for a Medicham, that will gladly
trade you for a Haunter (!). Sadly, you get screwed over since the Haunter
is holding a ever stone, meaning it won't evolve when you trade. Tsk. The
other place of interest is the house in the upper right corner of town. The
old man inside will add a word to your vocabulary that you can use for
certain things. Weird... Anywho, once you are done in this rather boring
town, head over to the worst gym in the history of Pokemon.
Also, there is a small little event that happends at Snowpoint on very rare
occasions. There is a weather effect called Diamond Dust that looks
different then the normal snow that falls in Snowpoint. This generally
does not happen often, but you can see it on January the 12th each year if
you go to Snowpoint on that day.

This, my friends, is hell. In what may be a cruel trick on kids who thought
all the gyms would be about math and platform puzzles, comes the ANNOYING
ICE PUZZLE THAT YOU HAVE TO BREAK SNOWBALLS TO GET TO THE GYM LEADER!
Fortunatly, a reader named Paul Smith was kind enough to send me the
solution for this hellish Gym. All credit goes to him for this list:
===========================================================================
1. Go to the North East part of snow you're standing on.
2. Step right.
3. Step up.
4. Step up. (Through a snowball)
5. Step left.
6. Step down.
7. Step left.
8. Step left.
9. Step left (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Sneasel (level 37), Floatzel
(level 37)
10. Step down.
11. Step right.
12. Step down.
13. Step right. (Should be back at the begining)
14. Return to the North-East snow-pad, step up. (Through 3 snowballs)
15. Step right.
16. Step right.
17. Step down.
18. Step left. (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Golduck (level 36), Steelix (level
37), Pelipper (Level 35)
19. Step up.
18. Step left.
19. Step left.
20. Step left.
21. Step down. (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Snover (Level 39)
22. Step right.
23. Step down. (To beginning)
24. Step to the North-West snow pad.
25. Step up. (Through 2 snowballs)
26. Step left. (Trainer battle. Tentacruel (Level 37), Sneasel (Level 37)
27. Step up.
28. Step left.
29. Step down.
30. Step down.
31. Step right. (Through a snowball)
32. Return to beginning, go to the North-East snow-pad.
33. Step right
34. Step up.
35. Step up.
36. Step up.
37. Step left
38. Step left.
39. Step up.
40. Step right. (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Snover (Level 39)
41. Step right. (Through a snowball)
42. Step right. (Trainer battle (last one). Pokémon: Quagsire (Level 39)
43. Return to beginning, and again, go to the North-West snow-pad.
44. Step left.
45. Step up. (Four times)
46. Step right. (Through a snowball)
47. Return to Anton (The trainer to the right of the Gym leader), and stand
on the left snow-pad above him)
48. Step down.
49. Step left. (Through a snowball)
50. Step left.
51. Step up.
52. Step right. (Through the final snowball)
53. Return to beginning.
54. Align yourself in the middle of the entrance, and keep on going
forward. This will lead to the Gym Leader.
===========================================================================
On another note, the basic idea is to break the snowballs until you make a
path to the gym leader. You have three floor types: Ice that will always
move you the direction you were going, snow floors that will stop you, and
snowballs that will stop you if you are not fast enough, and break if you
are going at a certain speed and direction.
Also, you might want to get some potions and revives before you go to the
gym. Why? The puzzle resets if you exit. So...yeah. You might have to do it
twice if you want full HP/PP before facing the gym leader. Anywho, once you
do finally reach her, here is the 7th gym leader: Candice.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Candice |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Snover lv 38 (Grass/Ice) |
|Sneasel lv 38 (Dark/Ice) |
|Medicham lv 40 (Fighting/Psychic) |
|Abomasnow lv 42 (Grass/Ice) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: A very weird name...Anywho, Candice is a interesting Gym leader. |
| Not only is the majority of her Pokemon from Route 216 and 217, but|
| Medicham is not even a ice Pokemon! However, two of her Pokemon |
| are 4X weak against fire, so Infernape is a must if you want a easy|
| time. |
| |
| Snover is her first Pokemon, who is a Grass and Ice Pokemon. As |
| stated earlier, Fire will pretty much knock out Snover in one hit |
| most of the time. Fighting, poison, flying, bug, rock, and steel |
| attacks are also very affective against Snover. Your best bet would|
| be a Pokemon like Lucario (If you went to Iron Island and raised |
| Riolu), Infernape, or Empoleon with steel moves. |
| |
| Sneasel is another old favorite, which is the rare Ice and Dark |
| type. Fighting is 4X effective on it, while fire, bug, rock, and |
| Steel work well against it. Infernape works wonders, as well as |
| Machoke and Machamp. |
| |
| Medicham is the odd ball in her team that may cause some problems. |
| Flying and ghost attacks are the only ones that strongly affect it.|
| Mismagius for pearl players (or haunter/Gengar), or Staraptor is |
| recommended. |
| |
| Abomasnow is pretty much a souped up Snover that is much stronger |
| and 4 levels higher then Snover. Use the same tactics you used |
| against Snover. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Infernape at lv 40 or so, Rapidash |
| at lv 40 or so, Empoleon at lv 40 or so, Haunter/Gengar/Mismagius |
| at lv 37 or so (For Medicham), Lucario about lv 37 or so. Also, |
| bring some revived and potions. |
| |
| A user named Wraith36444 recommends the following: "Use a level 44 |
| to 46 Staraptor with Close Combat and Arial Ace on most of |
| Candice's Pokemon. Snover and Abomasnow go down easlily with Aerial|
| Ace, Close Combat Snesel, and use Aerial Ace on Medicham." (Note: |
| I would be careful, since Staraptor is partially weak to Ice moves |
| when fighting Candice). |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Candice, you will get the icicle Badge and TM72, Avalanche.
Now that you finally have your 7th badge, you can now head to Lake Acuity
and finish up the task Rowan asked you to do. Head back to Route 217 and
head to the left until you see two Galactic grunts blocking the way. Talk
to them and they will move.

Nothing really new, just a mixture of older and Route 216/217 Pokemon. As
soon as you enter, you will see Jupiter just get finished battling your
rival. Uh oh...Guess you won't get to battle her this time. She also tells
you that their headquarters is in Veilstone, which is the place you should
fly to now. Head to the right of Veilstone and go up the steps where the
Galactic Building is and talk to the guard. He will drop the key for the
storage room. After that is done, return to the storage area to the left
of the galactic building where you found HM 02 (Fly).

\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you enter, press A on the shutters to open them, and then
continue inside (You can also get a dusk stone at this point, so use
it if you have been leveling a Misdreavus or Murkrow).
Your first main goal should be to get the key. There are two grunts and a
scientist in the area, although you can avoid the scientist by hugging the
bottom wall. Keep heading to the right until you find a set of stairs, and
then head to the next area (You were in B2F, but are going to B1F right
now). On B1F, battle the grunt and continue up the next set of stairs to
1FL.
On the 1Fl, head down and to the left and battle the grunt you see there.
Past him is a set of warp panels. One of them leads to a dead end with a
item in the room (the right one). To continue on, use the left warp panel.
It will lead to a room with another warp panel in it, and then to a room
with stairs in it. Once you go up the stairs, you will be in 2FL.
Ignore the stairs and go to your left to find a warp panel. Use it to warp
to a room with stairs, and then go down the stairs to find a room with a
scientist and another set of stairs. Head down the stairs to end up in the
room with the Galactic Key. Keep going to your left, battle the grunt, and
then pick up the item ball to the left of the grunt on the other side of
the boxes, which contains the Galactic Key. With it in hand, open the
shutters to your left and exit to Veilstone.
Once in Veilstone, you might want to heal up on your way. Once healed, head
to your right and then go up to find a set of stairs that leads to a spiked
building. Go inside the left or middle door to enter the main hideout. Once
inside, head to the middle of the room and unlock the shutters, go up the
stairs past it. In the next big room, continue to the left until you see a
room with a TV, a bunch of chairs, and a warp panel. Jump on the panel.
You will now be a in a room with a set of stairs and two beds. If you need
to, press A next to one of the beds to heal your Pokemon. Once you are
ready, go up the stairs.
In the next room will be two galactic grunts that you can fight in a double
battle, or fight one-on-one by talking to them individually. Continue to
the left to find several warp panels. Take the one that is the leftmost and
continue on to a room with a set of stairs. Head up the stairs to be in the
Head Galactic room. Open the shutters....and you will find Cyrus. Time for
a boss battle!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Cyrus |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Murkrow lv 40 (Dark/Flying) |
|Golbat lv 40 (Poison/Flying) |
|Sneasel lv 43 (Dark/Ice) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Fortunately, you should have gotten quite a bit of experience, so |
| it won't be too bad. For a major boss, Cryus is a bit weak, but you|
| may want to bring some items just in case. |
| |
| Anywho, you have pretty much fought these Pokemon before. Murkrow |
| goes down with ice, rock, and electric attacks. Golbat goes down |
| with Psychic, rock, electric, and ice attacks. Sneasel gets beaten |
| into oblivion with fighting and fire. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxray, Infernape, your own Sneasel |
| or Snover with ice attacks, and a strong physical attacker. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After beating Cyrus, he will give you the MASTER BALL and tell you that he
has no use for it. As always, there is only one master ball in the game
unless you win at the lottery.
You have one more fight ahead of you, so you may want to head back to the
bed room and heal up. If you are ready, head back to the Head Galactic
office and head to your right to find a warp panel. Head down the next room
to your right and then go up to find Saturn and the legendary trio. Time
for another boss battle!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Saturn |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Kadabra lv 38 (Psychic) |
|Bronzor lv 38 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Toxicroak lv 40 (Poison/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Saturn is pretty much the same as he was at the lake you fought him|
| at, but 3 levels stronger. If you defeated Cyrus easily, then |
| you should have no trouble with Saturn. In fact, just do the exact |
| same thing you did to him at the lake, and you should be fine. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat him, he will tell you to press the button, and then stuff
will happen. Anywho, Team Galactic and Cyrus will be at Mt. Coronet for a
final showdown.
However, stop for a moment and review your team. From this time out, the
battles are going to be much harder, and you will not be able to rest at
any Pokemon center for awhile. Make sure you have the following before you
head out to Mt. Coronet:
- All your Pokemon need to be at least lv 45 or so. Any lower and they will
have some difficulty.
- Make sure you have at least a rock, electric, or ice Pokemon when you go
to Mt. Coronet. Quite a few of the bosses you will be fighting will be
using flying Pokemon, so you can make your job easier by bringing one.
- Get as many revives and potions as you can. You will only be healed once,
and that is after one of the boss battles. You may want to bring some
repels along as well, to make the journey a bit faster.
- If you do not want to waste your Master Ball on the upcoming legendary
Pokemon, bring tons of Ultra Balls. About 50 or more should do it. You
will defiantly want the Master Ball for something else.
- Make sure you have a Pokemon that can use Surf, Rock Smash, Strength, and
Rock Climb. If you do not have Rock Climb, refer to Route 217 earlier in
the guide to find it. Bibarel will be the best choice, since he can use
pretty much all of them.
Once you are ready, head to Route 207 (From Eterna City and the bike route,
or from Oreburgh) and continue down the right to Mt. Coronet.

In actuality, there are not that many new Pokemon. In fact, I wouldn't even
recommend catching any at this point, since you have a long way to go. To
make the trip easier, I will break it down to you by floor.
==============================
||From Route 207 to the 2 FL||
===========================================================================
You could have gone in from the Hearthome or Oreburgh side as well, but it
would have been slower. Anywho, you should activate a repel and put your
highest level Pokemon in the front of your party.
The path is pretty straight forward until you get to a point where you can
jump over some cliff areas after coming down the second bridge. Instead, go
to the left and go down the stairs. The path is straightforward from there.
===========================================================================
============================
||From the 2 FL to Outside||
===========================================================================
In the next room, there is not much to do besides go up the next set of
stairs. In the 3 FL room, ignore the stairs to your right and continue up.
There are two Galactic Grunts here, so fight them and continue down the
path, which leads outside.
===========================================================================
===============================================================
||From the Outside Area to the L shaped room on the 4th floor||
===========================================================================
You can go one of two paths in the outside area, but the first is faster.
* You will wind up in a snow area outside. Head to the right, and then head
up. Ignore the stairs, and use Rock Climb. Head to the left and go in the
grass (Repel recommended) and go inside the entrance.
* The second way is the same as the first until using Rock Climb, but you
go to the right instead. You won't go into any grass when you enter the
entrance, but you have to surf over.
Anywho, once you are inside, make sure you are on the left side of the cave
(If you use the right entrance, surf over to the other side). Use rock
climb on the wall, and continue on. Fight the two Galactic Grunts and head
to the next doorway.
You will now be outside again. The path here is pretty straightforward,
although you will need some repel. Also, ignore the entrance to the right
when you head down into the pit and before you use rock climb. Once on the
other side, you will be in the L Room.
===========================================================================
=======================================
||From the L Room to the Spear Pillar||
===========================================================================
To be honest, the path from here to the Spear Pillar is pretty simple. Just
keep going down the paths you are going, defeat the 3 Galactic grunts, and
then stop in the room that has the single galactic grunt and exit that has
light shining through to the north.
Heal your Pokemon, and use any Ethers or PP restoring items to restore PP
to major moves. Save.
===========================================================================
====================
||The Spear Pillar||
===========================================================================
You will have to fight two grunts in a double battle before you continue.
Heal your Pokemon and save, and then go forward. You will find Mars and
Jupiter waiting for you. However, your Rival will help you in this fight.
DOUBLE BATTLE TIME!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Mars and Jupiter |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Mars Team: |
|Bronzor lv 41 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Golbat lv 42 (Poison/Flying) |
|Purugly lv 45 (Normal) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Jupiters Team: |
|Bronzor lv 41 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Golbat lv 41 (Poison/Flying) |
|Skuntank lv 46 (Poison/Dark) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This, my friends, may be one of the hardest battles in the game. |
| Not only is this one of the few times you will have to face a full |
| team of 6 Pokemon, but their levels are pretty damn high. |
| |
| In terms of your rivals team at this point, he will always lead |
| with a Munchlax. The rest of his team is fairly evolved:his starter|
| will be at the highest evolved form and at lv 43. If he had a |
| Buizel, it will have evolved into a Floatzel. His Staravia will |
| now be a Staraptor. Otherwise, the rest of his team will be the |
| same and at around lv 40-43 |
| |
| The biggest problem with this battle is that you will pretty much |
| be fighting doubles most of the time. They lead off with Bronzor |
| (Use the same strategy you used against Bronzor earlier. Fire |
| works best). Golbat is one of the reasons I told you to bring |
| a rock, ice, or psychic Pokemon. Gravler/Golem, Sneasel, Kadabra |
| and Alakazam are all Pokemon that are very effective against the |
| two Golbats. |
| |
| The biggest difference in their teams is the trademark Pokemon they|
| always have. Both Purugly and Skuntank soak up a bunch of damage, |
| so be alert. Purugly is weak against fighting, while Skuntank is |
| weak against ground moves. Machamp, Infernape, and Lucario work on |
| Purugly, and Golem and other ground Pokemon on Skuntank. Otherwise,|
| use your best attackers on them. Also, be careful of using moves |
| like Surf and Earthquake, since it will damage your rival's Pokemon|
| as well. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Paul Smith was kind enough to send in info on the double battle |
| with Mars and Jupiter. |
| |
| "So, if you chose a chimchar, at the beginning of the game, this |
| alternate battle-guide will help you lots more. For this, you will |
| need one level 57 Infernape. Thats all. Nothing else.. :).. Well...|
| This guide assumes that you have Mach Punch, Flame Wheel and Flare |
| Blitz. |
| |
| After your foes launch their Pokémon from their balls, send out |
| your Infernape, use Flame Wheel on one, and this should OHKO it. |
| Your rival will attack the other one, taking around half the |
| heath away. If Mars/Jupiter launch Golbat, use Flare Blitz on |
| it. It should OHKO it, you will also recieve re-coil damage, but |
| it's better than Golbat's confuse ray, which can do damage. in the |
| long run. |
| |
| Whilst you were owning Golbat, chances are that the Bronzor is dead|
| and down for the count. If not, still ignore it as Purugly/Skuntank|
| are way more of a threat. They both will take damage to Flame Wheel|
| easily, so use it. |
| |
| If Bronzor still isn't dead, I suggest you launch your next attack |
| on your rival's pokémon. (Please don't do it! It was a joke!). |
| Prioritize the death of Golbat. He is the pokémon you should be |
| wary of." |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After the battle, your Rival will restore your Pokemon's HP and PP. Save,
and fight your next battle: Cyrus.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Cyrus |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Honchkrow lv 45 (Dark/Flying) |
|Crobat lv 46 (Poison/Flying) |
|Gyarados lv 45 (Water/Flying) |
|Weavile lv 48 (Dark/Ice) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: At nearly 4 or so levels higher then the last battle, Cyrus is a |
| beast. If you took my advice earlier and brought a Electric or |
| Ice Pokemon at at least lv 45, you should be fine. However, don't |
| be stingy on revives if one of your main attackers falls. |
| |
| Honchkrow, Crobat, and Gyrados are all part flying, which means |
| a strong Pokemon with Thunderbolt or Thunder should be able to |
| wipe the floor on these three Pokemon. However, Crobat is a very |
| powerful Stage 3 Pokemon that can screw you up if you do not attack|
| it fast. Also, Gyrados has the Intimidate ability, which cuts your |
| attack. |
| |
| Weavile is going to be the biggest pain in the ass, however. Not |
| only is it about 3 levels higher, but it has a extremely high |
| attack with a bunch of Physical attacks. If you have a Pokemon with|
| high defense that isn't weak against Weavile, bring it out (Also, |
| if you have your own Gyrados or a Pokemon with Intimidate, bring |
| it out to drop its attack). Fighters work best against Weavile, as |
| well as Infernape. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxray with electric attacks such as |
| Thunderbolt and Thunder at about lv 45 or so, Infernape at lv 45 |
| or so with a strong Fighting attack. Any sort of fighting and |
| electric types work best. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After the battle, Cyrus will run off. Make sure you Heal and Save, because
you have one more battle. Legendary Pokemon time!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Palkia or Dialga |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 47 |
|Dialga: Steel/Dragon |
|Palkia: Water/Dragon |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This is something I am sure many of you have been waiting for. |
| Diamond players will fight Dialga and Pearl players will fight |
| Palkia. |
| |
| You might be exhausted from the battle you just fought, since I am |
| sure you went all out against Cyrus. If you are low on PP, use a PP|
| restoring item now. Both Pokemon have Dragon Claw and Ancientpower |
| and a special move (Roar of Time for Dialga and Spacial Rend for |
| Palkia). The only major difference is the other attack: Palkia has |
| Water Pulse, while Dialga has Metal Claw. |
| |
| So, how do you damage them? Best thing to do is use your best |
| attacker and gauge how much damage it does. Your main goal is to |
| get them down to a small amount of health, about 10% or so. If |
| you have a Pokemon that knows Thunder Wave or a Sleep move, use it |
| to make them easier to capture. |
| |
| You can use the Master Ball if you want, but both have medium |
| capture rates, so you should have no problem. On my second try, I |
| got them with just 9 Ultra Balls used. |
| |
| A reader was kind enough to send me a helpful strategy that you can|
| use just by catching a Machoke in Mt. Coronet: |
| |
| "I found a good tip for catching Palkia. If you have a Machoke |
| around level 40, it should have Revenge. If not, then too bad. |
| But if it does, use Revenge. while Palkia still has good health, |
| as long as it didn't kill Machoke in one hit. Revenge should get |
| it at extremely low health without killing it. I caught it with |
| a net ball after trying with 2 ultra balls. It was way easier than |
| yours (no offense).....and I found it by accident." |
| |
| Another person by the name of Stupider339 was kind enough to send |
| in this tip: |
| |
| "I have found a much faster way to catch Dialga. Just make sure |
| that you have a quick ball. Use it on the first turn. And you will|
| have a pretty good chance getting it. I found that out because I |
| was argueing with my sister on whether or not to use the master |
| ball. She say yes i say no. So we decided that we use the quick |
| ball first. If it failed then use the master ball. I won the |
| arguement. So using the quick ball on the first turn works like |
| a master ball but it can fall." |
| |
| And now, a explanation on why it is a good idea to use it: The |
| Quick Ball has a 4x chance rate of capture when you use it in the |
| first 5 turns. Unlike other legendaries, Dialga and Palkia have a |
| catch rate of 45: very high for a legendary and common for most |
| bigger Pokemon. However, I recommend at least weakening it on the |
| first turn before you do anything |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Whether you capture them or defeat them (Which you should not have done),
you are finally done with Mt. Coronet. if you caught them, head over to the
other side and pick up the Adamant Orb in Diamond and Lustrous Orb in Pearl.
Both make Dialga and Palkia's type attacks much more powerful (Steel/Dragon
for Dialga, and Water/Dragon) for Palkia).
Leave Mt. Coronet, and head to Veilstone. Head to the Valor Lakefront, and
then go to the right where it was once blocked. You can now enter Route 222.

Not much new. You can catch wild Mr. Mime in Diamond, and Purugly in Pearl.
This is also one of the few places you can catch a Chatot (Mostly a gimmick
Pokemon), so get one for the Pokedex.
Bunch of trainers on the route, although they are mostly fisherman. There
is a couple of houses on the beach to explore as well. One has the Pikachu
fan club, which has a single Pikachu Trainer inside. The house next to it
is a fishing competition for Remoraid: catch a big one and you will get a
net ball (Not worth the effort). Once you are done, head to the right to
find the gatehouse for Sunyshore.

Pretty much the largest city in the game, Sunyshore has several things you
can do to spend your time. As soon as you enter, however, you will meet a
new person: Flint of the Elite Four. He pretty much tells you that the Gym
Leader for this town is down in the dumps about something, and wants you to
help him.
Before that, lets venture around. If you head to the place that is a little
north of the Pokemart, you will find a sticker mart. If you have a Sticker
Case (You can find one in Solaceon Town), you can buy stickers that appear
on certain days. In the same place, a lady will give one of your Pokemon a
ribbon called the "Effort Ribbon" if they have maxed out EVs (Good way to
tell if you have max EV's or not). However, it needs to be the lead
Pokemon.
After you beat Volkner, if you head all the way north, you will find a
familiar face...Jasmine from Pokemon Gold and Silver! Talk to her, and
she will give you HM07 Waterfall.
In the upper left part of town is a house that has a girl inside that
will give you a ribbon each day if you choose a word. I have no idea if it
needs to be a certain word, or if it can be random (for example, I said
ROFL when she asked me about being absentminded).
If you head north of the lighthouse in the southeastern part of town, you
will find a cliff you can use rock climb on. If you do, then you can enter
a house with a man that will give you (Mostly useless) Poketech APPs if you
show him Pokemon of certain natures (look at the Poketech section for more
info).
Once you are done, head over to the Lighthouse that is in the Southeastern
part of down (You need to be on the second level of the city to reach it).
Enter it, and go up the elevator. Once you are on the top floor, you will
find the Gym leader being emo...Talk to him and he will go back to the Gym.
Head back to the Pokemon center and save, get some items, and prepare for
your last gym battle.

Don't you always hate the electrical gyms? Anywho, Volkner's Gym is a odd
set of moving platforms that you have to align to get past. Not only that,
but you will be fighting pretty much every single underling he has, so be
prepared. Here is the solution to get to Volkner:
==============
||First Room||
===========================================================================
* Head on the platform and press the Green button once and then get off the
platform from the bottom.
* Get on the other platform and press the green button to create a path to
the ledge with the door and trainer.
===========================================================================
===============
||Second Room||
===========================================================================
* Go in the only open platform and press the Blue button three times. Get
off from the newly created path afterward.
* Head on the left platform and go all the way around, fight the trainer,
and then get on the platform and press the blue button once to create a
path.
* Get on the next platform and press the green button to create a path. Get
off on the right side and head over the gear platform and to the ledge
with the door on it.
===========================================================================
==============
||Third Room||
===========================================================================
* Get on the platform and press the Red button once, and then get off the
platform and go to the one to the left.
* On the next platform, press the red button once and then get off. Fight
the trainer, and then go over the gear bridge to the other side. There
will be another trainer to fight. Beat him, and get on the platform with
the Green button.
* Press the Green button three times, and then continue down the path that
was created. Press the blue button until a path to the north to the next
ledge is created.
* Head to the right and then down, defeating the trainer and going over the
gear bridge. Head down to the bottom and go on the platform on the right
and press the Red button once. get off it afterward, and go back over the
gear bridge on the right that you just came from.
*After this, a path to Volkner will be created.

|Boss: Volkner |

|Pokemon: |
|Raichu lv 46 (Electric) |
|Ambipom lv 47 (Normal) |
|Octillery lv 47 (Water) |
|Luxray lv 49 (Electric) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Volker may be the most black sheep of the Gym Leaders yet, having |
| two Pokemon that are not even his gym type. However, they do have |
| Electrical attacks, so be prepared. |
| |
| On one hand, however, you should be pretty strong by now. Volkner |
| is nowhere as tough as Cyrus was on the Spear Pillar, meaning your |
| current team should be able to handle him if you have been training|
| them right. |
| |
| First up, Raichu and Luxray. Both are pure Electric types, and both|
| fall to Ground attacks. Not only that, but their electric attacks |
| will be pretty useless against them. Torterra, Golem, fossil |
| Pokemon, and any Pokemon with Dig should be able to handle them |
| easily. |
| |
| Octillery is a odd case. It is a water Pokemon, so any ground |
| types you might have been using to kill Raichu will pretty much be |
| screwed against it. Once again, Torterra and any grass Pokemon |
| should be able to handle it easily (If you use Luxray, use it now).|
| |
| Ambipom is another case of odd types, being a normal one. Fighting |
| and Ghost Pokemon with other typed attacks besides Ghost attacks |
| work well against it. Once again, Torterra should be able to |
| kill it in a few turns with Earthquake. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon are: Torterra, Golem, Luxray for Octillery, |
| and possibly Dialga if you caught him while playing Diamond. Also, |
| you may not want to use Infernape or Empoleon, since both have |
| weaknesses during this battle. All your Pokemon should be lv 45-50.|
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, you will get the beacon Badge and TM57, Charge Beam. Now
that you have all 8 badges, your last task will be to get to the Elite
Four. Only a route and one more dungeon stands in your way. Also, after you
beat Volkner, go to the northmost part of Sunyshore to find Jasmine from
Gold/Silver/Crystal standing on the beach. Talk to her and she will give
you HM07, Waterfall.
Before you head off, make sure you have a Pokemon that can use Strength,
Surf, and Rock Smash, and Waterfall. You may want to bring some repels
just in case. When you are ready, head north of Sunyshore and surf forward.

Nothing new, besides Mantyke. May want to catch him for the Pokedex, since
there are no wild Mantine to get.
Route 223 is a fairly straightforward route with a bunch of trainers and
wild Pokemon (Part of the reason I said to get Repel). Route 223 is so
straightforward that you just need to keep going north until you hit a
small bit of land that you can walk on. When you reach it, head left and
around the side until you can surf north again. Eventually, you will reach
a waterfall you will need to climb.
Once you are on the other side of the waterfall, heal at the Pokemon Center
and make sure your team is in order. You will have to get though Victory
Road before you can reach another Pokemon Center, so make sure you have
repel, potions, and revives. Once you are ready, head into the cave.

Like Mt. Coronet, lets break down the path you are going to have to take.
Note that you are going to be facing some strong trainers, many of which
you may want to fight now for EXP (and for Pokedex purposes, you will see
why later). Here is the path you will need to take:
=============
||1st Floor||
===========================================================================
Use a repel if you want, and then head over the bridges until you get to a
dead end with a Rock Climb area on your right. Use rock climb to get down,
and then head to your left. Continue left until you see a set of stairs,
and then go up them. Go north, fight the trainer, and then look for a set
of stairs on your left. Go up them to find a set of stairs leading to the
next level of the cave.
===========================================================================
=============
||2nd Floor||
===========================================================================
When you head left, you will see a pair of breakable rocks to your left and
south. Break the southern rocks with Rock Smash, and continue south. You
will eventually see three boulders you will need to use Strength to move.
Move the right one down one, the left one to the left, and move the final
boulder below them down until you can go left.
When you head left, you will find another boulder puzzle. Head on the upper
left path above the two boulders and push the left one down one, creating a
path to the left. Continue around until you find a breakable rock, and use
Rock Smash. Move the boulder that is in front of you up, and then continue
to your right, and then down.
Use rock smash on the rock, and continue down and then right until you see
three boulders in a triangle formation. Move the top one to your right, and
then go up the path. Fight the trainer, and then go down the stairs.
===========================================================================
===================
||1st Floor again||
===========================================================================
Head to your right, going across the bridge, and then use Rock Climb to go
down (WARNING: Be careful about the ledge below. If you jump over it for
some reason, you will have to do the steps from the 1st floor back to this
point). Once you are at the bottom, go left, then up, and then right. Fight
the trainer, and then head down the stairs.
===========================================================================
==================
||Basement Floor||
===========================================================================
Head to your right, down the stairs, and then go north until you see water.
Surf to the small bit of land to the right, fight the trainer, and then
continue going north until you reach a waterfall. Go up the waterfall, and
then head left. Fight the trainer, and then surf again. Go right, and then
down until you get on land again. Go up the stairs.
===========================================================================
===================
||1st floor Again||
===========================================================================
Head left, fight the trainer, and then go down after you fight the old man
trainer. Once at the bottom, head right to find a rock climb wall, go up,
and fight the trainer. Go over the bridge, and head to the other side to
find the exit.

Before I get into a strategy, lets do one more thing so we have plenty of
time to do what we want. Make sure you heal at the front, and walk toward
the entrance to the guy blocking the door. RIVAL FIGHT!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Staraptor lv 48 (Normal/Flying) |
|Floatzel lv 49 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 50 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Roserade lv 49 (Grass/Poison) |
|Snorlax lv 51 (Normal) |
|Infernape lv 53 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Staraptor lv 48 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roserade lv 49 (Grass/Poison) |
|Heracross lv 50 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Rapidash lv 49 (Fire) |
|Snorlax lv 51 (Normal) |
|Empoleon lv 53(Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Pinlup) |
|Staraptor lv 48 (Normal/Flying) |
|Floatzel lv 49 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 50 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Rapidash lv 49 (Fire) |
|Snorlax lv 51 (Normal) |
|Torterra lv 53 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: As you can see, your Rival has leveled his Pokemon up quite a bit |
| since your last encounter, not to mention they are now all at |
| their highest evolution. In truth, you may want to gage how well |
| you do against your rival against how ready you are. You should |
| be around level 47-50 at this point. |
| |
| Staraptor, Empoleon, and Floatzel all go down with electric |
| attacks. Staraptor also goes down with rock and ice, Empoleon goes |
| down with fighting, and Floatzel goes down with grass attacks as |
| well. Luxray is good for all three, but Torterra is good for taking|
| out Floatzel (May not want to use him against Empoleon, if you got |
| him on the GTS or via a trade). |
| |
| Heracross, Roserade, Torterra, and Infernape go down with flying |
| moves. Heracross, Torterra, and Roserade also go down with fire |
| attacks, so Infernape is your best bet. Infernape itself goes down |
| with water and ground attacks as well, so use Empoleon, Gyrados, |
| Golem, or whatever you have against him. Water and Ground attacks |
| also work well against Rapidash |
| |
| Finally, Snorlax is going to take up a bunch of damage. You might |
| want to use your starter or a high level ghost type, so it doesn't |
| damage you as much. Fighting attacks also work extremely well |
| against Snorlax. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxray at lv 47 or above, Staraptor |
| or another flying Pokemon at lv 47 or above, your starter at lv |
| 50 or so, Gengar at lv 48 or so, Golem or another ground Pokemon |
| at lv 48 or so. Machamp or Lucario at lv 48 or so. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After that, your rival will get mad and leave. Now, lets get to business,
making a team to defeat the elite four!
================================
||Preparing for the Elite Four||
===========================================================================
Obviously, things will be different for everyone depending on how you have
made your team up until this point. There is four elite four member types:
Bug, Ground, Fire, and Psychic.
Out of the two, only 2 of them use Pokemon that are not resistant of ones
of their type (Bug and Psychic). The other two use types that cover their
weaknesses somewhat. The final trainer uses a ghost/dark type that does not
have a weakness, a grass/poison, a water/ground, a water, a fighting/steel,
and a dragon/ground.
If you have been training the legendary you got from Mt. Coronet, then you
should have a easier time then most. Otherwise, you may have to battle the
Elite Four several times before you have enough levels to beat them. The
lowest level Pokemon is lv 53, while the highest is lv 66.
First, you need a type that can take a beating from the majority of the
Pokemon. In my opinion, Ghost types work well for the first time you fight
the Elite Four. If you have been raising a Drifblim, then you should be
doing pretty good. Not only that, but putting a move such a Toxic on it will
make things easier (Although slow). Gengar is also another choice, although
you will have some difficulty from Bertha, Lucian, and the champion due to
its Poison type.
Next, a strong attacker. For me, the first time I did the Elite Four, I had
all three starters that I got over the GTS. This gives you both strengths
and weaknesses. For example: Empoleon is a water/steel type, but takes
normal attacks from fire type attacks since it is part steel. Torterra takes
4X damage from Ice attacks, and Infernape has a weakness against psychic and
flying attacks.
The following list is a general idea of what you should have on your team
while fighting the elite four:
* Legendary Pokemon Palkia or Dialga at around lv 55 or so.
* Infernape at lv 57 or so, or Rapidash at the same level
* Torterra at lv 57 or so, or Golem/Grass Pokemon like Roserade at the same
level
* Empoleon at lv 57 or so, or Gyrados/Steelix at a similar level
* Drifblim at lv 58 or so, or Gengar at the same level
* Optional, such as one of the legendary trio or Lucario, Machamp, or a ice
Pokemon
The most important attacks to have are: One strong grass attack with a bunch
of PP (Such as Razor Leaf), Surf, Ice Beam on at least one of your Pokemon,
a strong fire attack on one of your Pokemon (Such as Flamethrower) Psychic
on one of your Pokemon, a status effect move such as Thunder Wave or Toxic
(Toxic works best in desperate situations, thats how I defeated the champ
the first time), Shadow Ball, and maybe Thunderbolt. Note that many of these
can be gotten from the game corner in Veilstone.
The next step will be to buy items. Sell any Pokeballs you have to have
enough cash, but do not sell any berries or items (Such as, say special move
increasing items). Buy as many Revives, Full Restores, Potions, and status
curing items that you can. In fact, you might want to hop over to the Cafe
on Route 210 and buy some MooMoo Milk, since it restores 100 HP (Cheap
solution to Full Restores outside of battle).
Once you feel you are ready, go talk to the guy blocking the door and he
will move as long as you have all 8 Badges. It is time for the final story
challenge in the game!
===========================================================================
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Aaron |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Dustox lv 53 (Bug/Poison) |
|Beautifly lv 53 (Bug/Flying) |
|Vespiquen lv 54 (Bug/Flying) |
|Heracross lv 54 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Drapion lv 57 (Poison/Dark) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Being the first member of the Elite Four, Aaron has many common |
| weaknesses. If you have been training your Pokemon like you should,|
| then you should have no major problems. |
| |
| First up, Both Beautifly and Vespiquen are bug/flying types, so |
| Rock, Fire, Ice, and Electric attacks are your best bet. Vespiquen |
| mostly uses Power gem, while using Attack order and defend order |
| as support moves, while having Heal Order as a healing move. |
| Beautifly has Psychic and Shadow Ball, so any fighting types like |
| Infernape and Ghost types such as Drifblim and Gengar will have |
| issues. |
| |
| Dustox and Heracross both have a weakness against fire, flying and |
| Psychic attacks. Dustox is mostly a status increases and effect, |
| since is has Toxic, Bug Buzz, Light Screen, and Double Team. |
| Heracross is more of a physical attacker, with Megahorn, Night |
| Slash, Close Combat, and Stone Edge. This puts Psychics, normal |
| types, ghost types, and flying Pokemon in a bind. Best thing to |
| do here is use fire. |
| |
| Drapion is his final Pokemon, being the only member of his team |
| that is not a Bug Pokemon. For the most part, it is mostly a |
| Physical sweeper, with a bunch of different type
