game controls and adventure information if you wish, but otherwise, choose the
third option to continue Afterwards, tap the center of the Pok�ball for
Professor Rowan to showoff Munchlax in an exposition. Once he's finished,

-----------------
Twinleaf town :-
-----------------     
          Watch the TV program, which is talking about a red Gyrados in hidings.
Afterwards, head down the staircase, and you will be met with by your mother,
whom shall have you be running after your Rival. Exit the house (with a warning
that will not apply for any longer than five minutes), then go to the
northwestern house in Twinleaf Town. Rival will pop out once you approach and
then head back inside. Follow after him, and go up the staircase in his house to
his room on the second floor. After the conversation is done, make your
leavetakings and continue outside again, then head north and into the Route 201
Area.
-------------
Route 201 :-
-------------
    Proceed north again and you shall encounter your Rival once again. After
he is done talking, he will tag up with you again. Now head west , then go north
and enter into the forest\lake area.

  |Piplup     |      N/A     |   Water    |    5     |
   ��������������������������������������������������

Inside, you will automatically have an encounter with Professor Rowan
and either Lucas (if you are a girl) or Dawn (if you are a boy). The two shall
take their leave, giving you the opportunity to choose your own Pok�mon. You had
better make it a good one, as a Starly will attack you at that moment. Below is
a brief profile of each of the starter Pok�mon and their evolution chain.

-----------
Route 201 :-
-----------
	Head east from here, and you will encounter Professor Rowan and
Lucas/Dawn again. After you finish your small talk, you shall then be
automatically  transported back to your house in Twinleaf Town.
---------------
Twinleaf Town:-
---------------

    |     Name      |   Information         |
    |���������������|�����������������������|
    | Running Shoes |Automatically obtained |
     ���������������������������������������

	Your mother will now send you off to Sandgem Town, and gives you the
Running Shoes to go with it. With these shoes, you can now press B to run, which
should aid you in making the long journey just a little less tedious with the
walking. Exit the house and leave the town north, and from now on, if you need
to heal up your Pok�mon while around here, head over to your mom to get them
recovered.

-----------
Route 201:-
-----------
      After entering Route 201, head east along the path that Rival blocked
you from moving earlier. Once you make it past the first section of grass,
continue along the dirt road a slight ways, then head north and east through
some more grass. Eventually, you should just be able to stroll from there right
into Sandgem Town.

Sandgem Town :-

    |���������������|�����������������������|
    |    Pok�dex    |Automatically obtained |
     ���������������������������������������

	Once you arrive in town, you will come face-to-face with Lucas/Dawn,
again. Rival will exit the nearby building and leave, and inside, Professor
Rowan will let you keep your own Pok�mon as a gift. At this point, you can also
nickname it. He then asks you the perennial question: do you wish to journey
Shinnoh and help him in catologuing Pok�mon? Accept, and he will give you the
Pok�dex, and send you off. Lucas/Dawn will also receive the third Pok�mon of the
initial trio, making a secondary rival for you.

	Outside, Lucas/Dawn will take you around for a little more sightseeing,
showing off the Pok� Mart and Pok�mon Center. Afterwards, s/he will head to the
northeast exit to Route 202 and block it off...for now. Instead, make your way
back across Route 201 back to Twinleaf Town.

-------------
Twinleaf Town

    |������������������������������������������|
    |     Name      |   Information            |
    |���������������|��������������������������|
    |    Journal    |Automatically obtained    |
    |    Parcel     |Automatically obtained    |
     ������������������������������������������

	Back here, go and visit your mother. She will hand off to you the
Journal. Your Rival's mother then waltzes in as well, and after some more
talking, gives you the Parcel. She also gives Rival's whereabouts - Jubilife
City. We now have a destination in mind, so head back to Sandgem Town.


------------
Sandgem Town
------------
	In Sandgem Town once more, head north along the exit between the Pok�mon
Center and Pok� Mart. Doing so, you shall the enter Route 202.

---------
Route 202
---------


     ��������������������������������������������������������������������

	Continue north and then west through the grasses, and you will meet up
with Lucas/Dawn again. Lucas/Dawn will teach you the conventions of battling and
capturing a Pok�mon, so if you are new to the series, pay attention. After some
words from him/her, s/he shall then give you five Pok� Balls, and finally
leaves.

	Now that we are on our merry way, it should be noted that this is an
appropriate time to catch some Pok�mon for general battling, as if you only have
your Starter right now, things may get tough in the future. Picking up one of
each species in the area before you go on is a good idea, along with training
each of them to Level 4 or Level 5. Bidoof you will probably find to be useless
(but can still be utilized as a very useful HM whore), but Starly and Shinx each
will be relatively useful for those just wanting to make it through the game,
with no multiplayer; the former species will learn a number of Flying techniques
and can spam status moves, while the latter can learn Dark-type moves in
addition to Electric moves to destroy any Psychic-types you may encounter.
Kricketot is also useful, especially if you can get one holding Metronome.

	After you are done, continue west and north through the grass, then try
to head east and you will meet up and battle your very first trainer - Youngster
Tristan.

	Here, you shall meet up with Lucas/Dawn again. S/he will give you the
number of Pok�mon that you have caught so far, then takes her leave after
informing you of your Rival's current location - at the Trainer School right
here in Jubilife City.

	The best way to find your Rival is to use its relative location -
opposite the street from the Pok�mon Center in town. Enter the building, and
inside, talk to Rival, whom is at the blackboard. You will lose the Parcel, but
in turn, shall obtain a Town Map. He will mark his next objective as Oreburgh
City, then leaves the school. Before leaving the place, talk to the two trainers
on the blue carpet in here to fight them. Answer yes to fight each of them.

 ___________________
|School Kid Harrison|
 �������������������
	Given that School Kid Harrison only has a single Abra, and his Abra has
only a single attack, it should be considered a one-trick pony. The only thing
that should be considered is that your Pok�mon with lower Special Defense stats
may not be able to inflict serious damage, so bring in someone with a decent
physical attack but also reasonable Special Defense.

 ____________________
|School Kid Christine|
 ��������������������
	See strategy above for School Kid Christine, considering it is the exact
same battle.

	After winning both battles, talk to School Kid Harrison again, and he
will give you TM 10, Hidden Power. Now that you have done what you can here,
exit back outside onto the streets. Try to head north, and you will be stopped
by a man whom will offer you a Pok�tch/Pok�mon Watch in exchange for three
Pok�watch coupons held by three clowns hiding around town. You will want to grab
a Pok�tch, because it can offer a number of applications that are really useful.
Each clown is wearing a yellow suit and yellow hat with white balls, so here are
their locations;

	1) Walking around right behind the nearby Pok�mon Center
	2) Hanging out in front of the TV station (far northwest section of the
	   town, has a giant TV screen over the building)
	3) West a ways from the TV station, wandering around in front of the
	   Pok�watch Company

	Answer "Yes" to all three of their questions, and in turn they will each
give you a coupon. Once you have obtained all three Pok�watch coupons, head back
to the man who accosted you earlier near the Pok�mon Center, and exchange them
for a Pok�watch.

	With all that done, there is only one thing left to do around here
before we leave. Head north and go all the way west into the border check area.
In here, talk to the fisherman and answer yes to get the Old Rod. While it is
almost completely useless, it DOES allow you to catch Magikarp, which, once
trained to a sufficient level, can evolve into the more powerful Gyrados.

	There are a couple of optional directions that you can go right now. You
could go west past the checkpoint and onto Route 218, or you could go north to
Route 204. However, Route 218 is a basic dock, and Route 204 leads to a dead end
right now, and will be visited later in the future. For now, just head east, and
out onto Route 203.

	Right after entering Route 203, you will be instantly accosted by your
Rival, who will then challenge you to a Pok�mon battle. Prepare yourself, and
being the battle of the titans.
 _____
|Rival|
 �����
	Bring into the match your own starting Pok�mon to counter Starly. This
is because (with the exception of if you have Piplup), Rival's own starter will
have a move that your's is weak to, and you do not want to put yourself into
that predicament. This is why you instead want to use your own starter now
against Starly. Deal with him thus, by first using whatever current stat-
changing moves you have for a turn or two, then take out Starly.

	Once your Rival sends out his starter, retaliate with multiple stat-
lowering moves (if you are using Turtwig, then merely attack). Once your starter
is taken out of the match, your ideal next choice will be your own Starly for
two reasons - the first is that using Quick Attack, you can avert undesirable
results and get a fast hit in. The second is that if you are facing Turtwig, and
Starly is at least Level 9, you can use it's Wing Attack for super-effective
damage against Turtwig. Either way, Rival's starter should already be battered
enough by now, so take it out.


	After you have obtained victory and your Rival runs off, head straight
north between two sections of forest to face off against the Youngster Michael.

 _________________
|Youngster Michael|
 �����������������
	The first part of the battle should not be too difficult - just send
someone in and rape Tomoki's Michael to hell and back. No, it is the next part
that you should be worried about, as Zubat is Poison and Flying, two type
attributes that you should not yet have any attacks that are super-effective
against.

	Additionally, Zubat can use Supersonic, which can confuse your own
Pok�mon and cause it to attack itself. To counter this, I suggest you bring in
somebody with a good attack and speed that can take out Zubat in two hits,
before it can use Leech Life to restore itself, or Supersonic to pit your
Pok�mon against itself.


	Finally done with the battle, head around clockwise from Tomoki to find
a Pok�ball lying on the ground. Pick it up to obtain an item Pok� Ball, then
jump off of the nearby ledge. Now, head east along the path and up the first
flight of staircases, and you will encounter Youngster Dallas.

 ________________
|Youngster Dallas|
 ����������������
	Dallas will send out a Kricketot, which is a pure Bug type. Send out
Chimchar, and destroy it with Ember. Lacking Chimchar, send out a Starly that is
at least Level 9, and do a one-turn kill with Wing Attack. Simple as that, and
Bide won't come into effect for at least a few turns, making the insurance
against any damage even less mandatory.


	Now that the battle is done, head right and up the next flight of
stairs. You can dodge this next trainer if you want by walking alongside the
bottom or top strip of land, but if you want to fight, well, here is the
strategy for the next trainer; Lass Kaitlin.

 ____________
|Lass Kaitlin|
 ������������
	Of course, you STILL won't have anything that is super-effective against
Bidoof's type attributes, but given the species' general lack of stats in
ANYTHING, and it only being Level 4, you can send out anything you want to
against it, so long as it has an attack.

	After Bidoof falls, Kaitlin will send out either her Starly or her
Budew. If it is a Starly she sends out, resist the urge to send out your own
Starly / Chimchar if you have one, and send out somebody else to counter it.
Again, given it is only Level 4, it should not take too much of an effort to
defeat it.

	With her Budew, given it's Bug/Poison type, you have two choices. You
can either use a Chimchar if you have one complete with Ember, or you could use
Starly to utilize a Wing Attack. Or you could just send out something completely
neutral to it's type attributes. Just be sure that whatever you utilize has a
decent chunk of health left, as Budew knows Absorb, which can steal a handful
of your own health and add it to hers.


	Next up, continue along to the southeast corner to face off against
Youngster Sebastian. This is another battle though that can be avoided, so long
as you make sure to run past him while he is looking in a direction other than
yours.

 ___________________
|Youngster Sebastian|
 �������������������
	Start the battle off with a flying-type Pok�mon (aka. Starly, the only
flyer available to you at this point in time), and use Wing Attack against his
Machop. Even if he manages to get a Low Kick on you, it won't do super-effective
damage against Starly's Normal-type.


	Since that battle was ended so prematurely, continue to head up north.
You can walk around the back of the last trainer to avoid her. Otherwise,
prepare to face off against Lass Madeline.

 _____________
|Lass Madeline|
 �������������
	The real worry in this battle is that Starly knows Quick Attack, which
means Madeline will spam it, which means Starly will always attack first. The
two ways that you can counter this is to either bring in your own Starly to use
Quick Attack (higher speed will have more precedence) or a Pok�mon out of her
Starly's league, meaning it can win in a few turns. Since you have likely used a
Starly up already, try something else.

	Afterwards, she will bring out a Bidoof. As we all know, Bidoof sucks,
so send out whatever you need to and defeat it.


	Now that we are done with the retinue of trainers in Route 203, head
north and west down the small stairs, then grab the Pok�ball lying on the ground
here for a Repel. Now that this is all over, I recommend you go back to the
Pok�mon Center in Jubilife City first and heal up. That said, go into the cave
via the entrance east of Lass Madeline.

[ ] |HM06           |Teaches Rock Smash; obtain at entrance  |
     ��������������������������������������������������������

	Walk past the hiker at the beginning of the cave, and he will give you
HM06, which will teach you Rock Smash. After a brief tutorial on HMs, he shall
also warn you that you need to beat the Oreburgh Gym Leader first to use it out
of battle. Of course, that is where we are going.

	However, since you cannot use Rock Smash outside of battle yet, you
cannot go north (and thus cannot capture any Psyducks at the moment, until you
get to Route 204, which is a dead end path off of Route 203). I do, however,
recommend that you teach one of your Normal-type Pok�mon Rock Smash, so it can
deal with all the Rock-types that you will face very soon, along with a couple
of Shinxes. Instead, head east to fight two consecutive battles.

 _____________
|Camper Curtis|
 �������������
	Camper Curtis' lone Pok�mon, a Shinx, is reasonably leveled. However,
because it knows only Tackle and Leer, you can probably overpower it easily; in
fact, if you are trying to level up some of the weaker Pok�mon like a Bidoof to
evolve it for Pok�dex completion before you put it away, now is a good time to
teach Bidoof Rock Smash, a Fighting-type move. Given its type attribute, it also
means it will be super-effective against Shinx, an electric-type.


	Continue right a bit to fight again.
 _______________
|Picnicker Diana|
 ���������������
	I would not be too worried about either of Diana's Pok�mon. Psyduck's
only real move is Scratch, which does negligible amounts of damage, and Subimo
is a Bug Pok�mon, again weak to both Fire and Flying attacks. Just bring out a
pair of Pok�mon that you wish to level up and use Diana's lineup as experience
point fodder.


	Having finished both battles, continue on outside into Oreburgh City.

-------------

	Once you enter town from the Gate area, you should encounter a
Youngster. He will guide you over to the Oreburgh Gym, where you can meet up
with your Rival again, whom expresses disappointment as the Gym Leader is
currently in the Oreburgh Mine. I believe that makes our next direction pretty
clear-cut. Let us take a side-stop to Route 207 first, however. This is north of
town.

	There is not really too much to do here except for training; however,
you should pick up a Machop now. Machop's Low Kick will be super-effective
against the Orebough Gym Leader, and STAB makes it 3.0x the damage. You can also
grab a Pok� Ball from the northwest corner of the grass patch. If you go and
examine the empty space in the northeast corner, you can get a second Pok� Ball.
Afterwards, head back into town.

	Before we go, however, there are a few things we need to do. First off,
Pok�mon Center and Pok� Mart to replenish up on whatever you need. Secondly, in
the northwest corner of town, enter the left apartment building, and go to the
second floor. Talk to the guy wandering around in here, and he will give you a

enter Oreburgh Mine itself.

	Inside, head right from the entrance to open an item Pok�ball to obtain
an X Defend. Now head down the three flights of dirt staircases, and enter the
heart of the mine itself.

	Deep into the mine, head left from the entrance, then go south and off
the ledge. Continue down until you get to the southwest corner, and pick up the
Pok�ball for an Escape Rope. If you want to, talk to the nearby miner to face
off against Worker Colin.

 ____________
|Worker Colin|
 ������������
	Given that both of Colin's Pok�mon are Rock-types, it means that you
cannot expect a Normal-type attack to hurt. Instead, you'll have to use other
attacks, such as Rock Smash or Bubble, or neutral attacks such as Kricketot's
Bide, or its evolution's Fury Cutter. Other than that, I cannot really offer any
advice, other than to watch out for Onix's Bind - it can and WILL hurt.


	After the battle, continue right some more, then talk to the guy in
between two rocks wearing a red hardhat. This is the Oreburgh Gym Leader,
Roark. After he uses Rock Smash on one of the rocks, he will invite you to
battle him in the gym. Once he leaves, head right and then go north, opening the
Pok�ball on the way to get a Potion. Talk to the guy in front of the rock facing
the wall if you want to face Worker Mason.

 ____________
|Worker Mason|
 ������������
	This is a ridiculously easy fight. Bring in a Flying-type (aka your
Starly most likely), and use a Flying-type attack. Battle over in two attacks
tops.

	Now that that is over, continue going around the room counterclockwise,
then head north and exit out the way you came in. Continue up north through the
gave and outside back into Oreburgh City.

-------------
Oreburgh City
-------------
	Now that we have gotten Roark back into the gym, we have some last
minute preparations to make. Go the Pok�mon Center, and pick up Potions where
needed.

	PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS: For your Pok�mon list, definitely bring your
starter. If your starter was Chimchar, evolve it to Monferno at Level 14 so it
can gain Mach Punch, a Fighting-type move. If your starter was Piplup, you may
also wish to evolve it at Level 16 to gain the useful Metal Claw, a Steel-type
move. Other useful Pok�mon to use are Kricketune (evolution of Kricketot) which
will have Fury Cutter and Leech Life), Budew if you decided to grab one off of
Route 204 (learns Mega Drain at Level 13), and anything that can learn Rock
Smash (another Fighting-type move). Taking in a Machop from Route 207, from the
north of the city, is also a very feasible idea, because, again, Fighting beats
Rock.

	After you have finished organizing a reasonable party, head off to the
gym.

 __________________
|Youngster Jonathon|
 ������������������
	Given his single Geodude, you can call out anything that it has a
weakness to here, whether it be Piplup, Turtwig, or somebody who knows Rock
Smash. Simply said, it should not take too much of an effort to put down his
Geodude, so long as your own stats are on par with his.


	Head north after your first victory to face off against the second
guardian.
 ________________
|Youngster Darius|
 ����������������
	Youngster Darius has two instead of one Pok�mon in his lineup, but they
ARE weaker. This can actually be used as a fodder match, so bring out one of
your weaker Pok�mon (that has a type-advantage attack) that you wish to level
up, and let it loose on the Geodude, and then his Onix.


	Now that that is done, continue up, and you will face the overseer of
the gym - Gym Leader Roark.

 ________________
|Gym Leader Roark|
 ����������������
	Before I start with the general strategy for each Pok�mon, I will tell
you about the properties of Stealth Rock. Each of Roark's Pok�mon can use it,
and when it is utilized, whenever you switch Pok�mon, the new Pok�mon that you
bring in will be injured by Stealth Rock for a one-time hit. However, Stealth
Rock will continue hitting on throughout the battle, so definitely make sure to
be prepared for it after Roark uses it and you switch out.

	Roark's starter, Geodude, should not be underestimated, but neither
should you take out all the stops and throw everything you have it. Throw one of
your weaker Pok�mon out to battle it (likely one of the Bugs, or someone whom
knows Rock Smash), as you will need your strongest Pok�mon for later on in the
match. If you have a Kricketune at a decent chunk of HP and Defense, you could
also try using Fury Cutter multiple times in a row so (if) when you defeat
Geodude, the attack power will carry over to when fighting Onix. Mega Drain is
also a fine choice.

	After Roark sends out Geodude, switch Pok�mon if your front-liner only
knew Fighting moves to attack with (with the exception of if it is an evolved
Monferno). This is because Onix has a high physical defense, and even being
able to hit it with an attack it's weak against means nothing much if it is a
physical attack. Indeed, you will probably want to use either Mega Drain
(Kricketune and Turtwig), Leech Seed + Absorb + Razor Leaf (Turtwig) or Bubble
(Piplup), all of them being Special Attacks except for Razor Leaf.

	Finally, Roark will pull out his trump card - the never-before-seen
Cranidos. Besides having a VERY mean attack coupled with Headbutt (which can
also cause flinching, losing you a turn), Cranidos has the Unconventional
ability - which negates Overgrow and Torrent if using Turtwig or Piplup. Choose
carefully whom you bring into the duel to start - his Pursuit attack means that
if you try to switch your own Pok�mon out, it will do double damage to whoever
it hits. As such, I would recommend you bring in to start someone whom can act
as a big wall, and wear it down with status-lowering attacks, and then change it
to your own best Pok�mon, then take it out with type-advantage attacks.


	With your first gym battle in the bag, Roark will give you the Coal
Badge, which allows you to use the HM06 Rock Smash out of battle, and also hands
over TM76, which teaches Stealth Rock. Afterwards, leave the gym.

Oreburgh City
-------------
	Go to the Pok�mon Center, then try to leave the city by way of the
Oreburgh Gate. You will be stopped by your Rival, whom has also won the Coal
Badge, and informs you that you cannot take Route 207 to Eterna City, home to
the next Gym, without a bicycle. To get to Eterna, you will have to now go there
by way of Jubilife City, so enter the gate.

entrance, breaking some rocks up and going around a larger unbreakable rock to
open a Pok�ball for a Stardust, then head back to the start and go right and
around clockwise to get TM70. Afterwards, exit back up to the top floor, then
head south and make your way outside, then continue on to Jubilife City.

	Go to the Pok�mon Center and recover up where needed. Before continuing
on, put in the front of your lineup someone like your starter (regardless of
type) or a Flying-type Pok�mon. Preferably at least a reasonably-strong Pok�mon
(Level 11+). That done, head to the far north of Jubilife City, and you will
encounter Lucas/Dawn and Professor Rowan being cornered by two men in blue.
These will turn out to be members of Team Galaxy, and after some small talk, you
and Lucas/Dawn will get into a double-team battle against the two grunts.

 _________________________________________________________
|Team Galactic Grunt & Team Galactic Grunt (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������������������������������������
	Depending on which Pok�mon that you chose at the beginning of the game,
Lucas/Dawn will have the type that you are weak to, and at Level 13. No matter
whether s/he has Chimchar, Turtwig or Piplup, you should bring in a Rock-type
such as Geodude, as both Wurmple and Zubat have type weaknesses to Rock-type
attacks. If s/he's using Chimchar, let him/her have Wurmple while you take
Zubat. Otherwise, it is fair game as to who you take on first. The Galactic
Grunt's Pok�mon themselves should not be too much of a trouble, so long as you
finish the battle swiftly - else, Zubat's Supersonic and Bite may take a bit too
much of your HP.

	Having won, Lucas/Dawn and the Professor will talk some more, and leave.
Before you are free to move, a guy from the TV Station shall then come up to you
and inform you the station is once more open, and hands off a Fashion Case to
you, which will allow you to dress your Pok�mon up at the TV station. If you
wish to do so at this point in time, head to the TV station, and on the first
floor, you can duel a trainer to the direct left of the lobby desk; not sure
under what circumstances, but there seems to be at least two different possible
trainers you can face (see strategy below). After, do whatever you will on the
rest of the building. Otherwise, head north into Route 204, and be sure to bring
somebody who knows Rock Smash with.

 _
|?|
 �
	Be careful as you start off - because both of his Zubat know Supersonic,
the potential is there for you to be inflicted with the confusion status effect.
Since you are unlikely to have Persim Berry on hand, I recommend you save
yourself the trouble and simply switch out Pok�mon if you get confused - not
only will the confusion be gone if you switch back in your original Pok�mon, but
you also save yourself the trouble of injuring yourself.

	The other note of interest is Zubat's Astonish attack; this can cause
you to flinch, and negate one of you turns. As such, bring in somebody who's
quick on their feet and a heavy hitter, along with a backup in case your first
falls through to confusion. Good choices if you have their respective type-
attribute attacks on hand at this point are Kadabra, Geodude, and Shinx.
Otherwise, simply use powerful attacks to finish the two Zubats off.

 ______________
|Pok� Kid Ariel|
 ��������������
	The two Pikachus will be fairly annoying to handle with, as likely you
do not have anything at this point in the game to counter Electric-types; that
both Pikachus know Thunder Wave and constantly spam it, along with the Ability
Static that may randomly cause your own Pok�mon to be paralyzed makes it very
annoying. However, you may also want to use this reliance on Paralysis to your
advantage; tougher Pok�mon such as Machop (complete with Guts), or a Geodude or
Onix (who cannot be affected by Paralysis through Thunder Wave thanks to a
Ground subtype) are more likely to work. If Machop gets Paralyzed, Guts will
increase his attack by 50% and allow him to slaughter the Pikachus. Geodude and
Onix will be able to fight them off without a chance of getting Paralyzed. For
safe measures, bring some Paralyze Heals to the battle.

     �������������������������������������������������������������������������

	From the start of the route, detour from the regular path and instead go
right, then north on the opposite side of the fence. Grab a Pok�ball here across
the pond for a Paralyze Heal. Now proceed back to the entrance, and head north
and you will quickly face off with Lass Sarah.

 __________
|Lass Sarah|
 ����������
	A reasonably easy fight. As her only Pok�mon is a Bidoof, which is pure
Normal type, bring out whichever of your Pok�mon that you brought that knew Rock
Smash. A couple of obligatory move-type advantage attacks later, her lone Bidoof
should be out and under, and you the victor of the match.


	After the battle is over, continue to head north (and a bit left), and
you will then be confronted by Youngster Tyler.

 _______________
|Youngster Tyler|
 ���������������
	Bring in ANYONE you like to fight Tyler, so long as they have an
attack. His Magikarp only knows Splash, and the attack is ineffective as always.
Ideally, you could put in the front of your lineup somebody who knows an stat-
raising move so as to prepare for the next Pok�mon, but it is your choice.

	Once Magikarp is down, Tyler will bring out his (slightly) tougher
Starly. As it knows Quick Attack, you risk taking damage unless you respond with
your own Quick Attack first turn. By now, if you have been power-levelling any
electric Pok�mon you have gotten your hands on, you may have an Electric move to
hit it with. Otherwise, bring in something like a Normal-type to respond and do
battle.


	Now that that is over, proceed north through the large area of grass,
and fight off Lass Samanatha, whom is standing at the very end of the trek.

 _____________
|Lass Samantha|
 �������������
	Be careful as to not bring in anybody whom is weak to Grass attacks, aka
a water or rock type that you might have picked up. As Budew is a bug type,
however, you should have no problems with subduing it through either the use of
Fire or Flying attacks (be careful to watch out for it's Water Sport if using
Fire, however; this will decrease the effectiveness of your Fire-type attacks).


	Once you are done battling here, continue on and into the tunnel cave.
In here, turn left and head that direction, and use Rock Smash to break your way
through. Grab the Pok�ball lying on the cave floor here for TM39, then head the
opposite way, smashing any boulders in your way, and leave the cave from the
eastern exit. Outside again, go west and then north, and you should come up
against Aroma Lady Taylor.

 _________________
|Aroma Lady Taylor|
 �����������������
	Bring out whoever you started to fight against Lass Samantha, as her
opener, another Budew, is the EXACT same as Samantha's Budew as far as move set
goes. Afterwards, you may choose to keep your starter in, as Cherubi, Kaori's
next Pok�mon, is a Grass-type. Alternatively, you can also bring in any Bug
Pok�mon that you have, as Grass-types are also weak to Bug-attribute attacks.
Either way, through the power of type-advantage, her Cherubi will fall without
too much of a struggle as well.


	With the battle finished, pick up the Awakening lying on the ground
nearby, then continue north. Past the patch of grass, you should spot Bug
Catcher Brandon, whom is wandering back and forth in a straight line left and
right.

 ___________________
|Bug Catcher Brandon|
 �������������������
	Being what they are, Brandon's Pok�mon are obviously weak to the
aforementioned Fire and Flying-type attacks. However, they are also at a
disadvantage against Rock-type attacks, and without any Grass-type attacks to
counter with, you can bring in a Geodude or Onix without worrying about getting
raped. Just be careful to have an Antidote on hand for this battle - Wurmple
knows Poison Sting, which if you let it affect you, can end up being nasty.


	Finally, with only a single battle up to finish, head north and west to
face off against the Twin sisters Liv and Liz in battle.

 _______________________________
|Twins Liv & Liz (Double Battle)|
 �������������������������������
	As this is your second battle, you may not be familiar with the rules,
so I will repeat them - you will bring out your first two Pok�mon in the order
that they are on your submenu. As such, properly arrange your second Pok�mon
beforehand, so as to avoid any mistakes.

	Anyways, the two Pachirisu are a pair of electric rats. However, as type
advantages have been changed around slightly, only Ground-type attacks are super
effective against them. If lacking anyone with such an attack, a smart move here
would be to bring in two female Pok�mon (to avoid Charm) that can quickly knock
out the Pachirisu (both of whom know Bide, which can hurt if you let it).
Something like a Geodude or Onix you may have picked up can also work, as their
defense stats will stop them from taking much damage. Other than that, not much
can be said, except for perhaps bringing in somebody who knows Quick Attack to
counter their own.


	With the final battle over, head up and left from the twin sisters and
between the fences, and grab a Pok�ball lying on the ground to obtain TM09. Now
that your trek is done, head back across the fences and go north into Floaroma
Town.

	After completing your obvious stops at the Pok�mon Center and Pok� Mart,
you should go and pick the two berries north of the Pok� Mart in front of the
resident flower shop. Talk to the lady on the left to get a Sprayduck, which
you can use to water a berry plant to be able to produce more berries. Talk to
the lady wandering around on the right side of the shop, and once a day, she
shall give you a random berry. You can also talk to the woman at the counter to
buy Dress Up accessories, but you will need a special currency for that, which
you cannot get until later.

	Outside again, go left to the house with the wooden red roof, and enter.
Inside, talk to the girl sitting next to the figurine and talk to her. Say
"Yes" to her query to obtain TM88. Other than that, however, there is not much
to do in this town for the time being (and the presence of the two Team Galactic
Grunts in the northwest corner of the area has no bearing on the plotline at the
current moment), so once done, strike out east.

	Out here, head east, and after the row of flowers, you can pick up two
more Berries to add to your slowly-expanding collection. Continue on, and then
talk to the little girl who is standing in the middle of the road to find out
that her father is missing. Try to head north up the nearby bridge, and you will
be barred from entering by two Team Galactic Grunts. Instead, it seems that we
will have to continue on our way to the Valley Windworks.

	This is an obvious rendition of "bring in somebody with Rock Smash" once
one realizes that Glameow is a Normal-type. The only thing that one should
REALLY watch out for is Glameow's Fake Out ability - a first-turn first-strike
ability that can cause your own Pok�mon to flinch. Thankfully, it cannot use it
again after the first turn, which gives you enough time to calculate your own
vengeance.

	Post-battle, the Team Galactic Grunt will let loose some stray
information for you before he heads into the Windworks, locking the door behind
him. Head back to Floaroma Town.

	Approach the two Galactic Grunts beating up the old man, and they will
quickly fight you, one after the other (obviously, your starter for Battle 1
will have to be your starter for Battle 2, unless the first one faints).

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1|
 ���������������������
	The general category of what you should use to start off in this battle
is fairly obvious - Fire, Flying, and Rock will rule. However, my main
recommendation is on Rock-type, even if you do not plan to use it in this
battle. This is because when you start the second battle, your first Pok�mon
shall be forced to stay a constant, so having a Rock-type versus the Zubat will
make the battle much easier. Other than that, Wurmple and Silcoon are, as
always, pretty weak Bug Pok�mon with their only claim to danger being their
Poison Sting - do bring along some Antidote, just in case.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	If you did as I said to earlier and put a Rock-type Pok�mon at the start
of your group, this match should be over fairly quickly. If you did not, then
use whoever you start off with to try and take it out - if you cannot do that
(but only wear it down), then change to somebody who has a type-advantage or has
no type-disadvantage against Zubat - the former category would include a Rock-
type, Psychic-type, or Electric-type. After that, attack, and it is game, set,
and match for you.


	After you win the two consecutive battles, both of the Galactic Grunts
will run away. Proceed to talk to the old man, and he shall give you the dropped
Works Key and some Honey. With the Key in hand, make your way back all the way
to the Valley Windworks area.

	Once you make it to the area, head up to the locked door barring you
from entering the actual plant. Examine it to use your newly-obtained Works Key,
and enter the building. Inside, the Galactic Grunt you fought earlier will be
surprised at your ability to enter, and runs away. Continue left and then north
down the hallway, and talk to the first Grunt standing guard at the doorway to
fight him.

 ���������������������
	Sometimes, it seems obvious that GAME FREAK is not trying to make the
one-player portion of the game even somewhat difficult. This is one of those
cases, as you face off against a Silcoon whose only assets are Tackle and
Harden. Even if you do not have somebody with a type advantage (and you should,
given the recent occurance of Bug-type Pok�mon), it is still almost impossible
to lose this battle. Just let loose your Flying/Fire/Rock Pok�mon, and decimate
it quickly with anything that it is inherently weak to.


	With the battle over, continue on right, and speak to the Galactic Grunt
in the middle of the area to end up fighting him in a second battle.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	Open up with your obligatory anti-Bug-type Pok�mon to destroy the
Galactic Grunt's Wurmple. One Pok�mon later, he will bring out another Glameow.
As it knows Fake Out, it is possible for it to hit you in its opening move with
a first-strike attack, and also cause you to flinch. This will not put you too
far behind, but it can be annoying if you are maintaining something already such
as Rollout or Fury Cutter. Anywho, as Glameow is a Normal-type, you may want to
bring in whoever you had brought along with knowledge of Rock Smash. Rock
Smash's Fighting-type attribute will, once again, trump a Pok�mon with Normal-
type attribute. Otherwise, bring somebody out to use Glameow for experience
fodder.


	Finally, continue on to the right of the plant, and talk to the lady
dame at the end, who is the head honcho of the Galactic forces here. After
detailing their plans, we will end up in battle with her.

 ______________
|Commander Mars|
 ��������������
	Let your resident electric/rock/psychic type dictate the pace at the
start of the battle, but be careful; her Zubat knows Toxic, which, should you
get poisoned, will rob HP from you in increasing amounts each turn. Because of
this, it is recommended that you do not take the time to build up your own stats
with stats-raising moves or other special effects, but instead focus on quickly
taking out the Zubat.

	Galaxy Mars' second Pok�mon is the fearsome Purugly. Purugly is the
evolution of Glameow (which, under normal circumstances, does not evolve until
Level 38), and retains a solo Normal type. As such, somebody who knows Fighting
type attacks should be brought to the front. Bringing in an Awakening to this
fight is the most important part, as Purugly knows Hypnosis, which means if you
get hit by it, you are asleep for a random amount of time. Thankfully,
Purugly's remaining arsenal is fairly tame - Growl and Scratch. So long as Mars
does not abuse Growl, you should be able to inflict a reasonable amount of
damage with a Fighting attribute move to take it down relatively easily. Beware
though of what you may think to be your second-last hit on it; Purugly carries
a Berry, which will restore it 10 HP when it's health is lowered to a perilous
level.


	After you finally win, Team Galaxy will clear the building and retreat,
and the little girl you saw earlier shall come to meet up with her father. After
the reunion, exit the Windworks, and head west onto Route 205.

	Once done making your obligatory Pok�mon Center trip, notice that the
bridge leading north on Route 205 that was formerly blocked by Galactic members
is now accessible. This thus marks the next step of our journey, to Eterna
City, home to the next gym.

	Across the bridge, head straight north along the dirt road. Past the
isolated tree, you will encounter the first opponent on this long trudge -
Camper Jacob.
 ____________
|Camper Jacob|
 ������������
	A Fire-type Pok�mon certainly is not one we have seen much of so far in
this game, but currently, you should have a good solution to defeating his
Ponyta; a Rock-type Pok�mon (or, if you chose Piplup, or even have an already-
evolved Gyrados, a Water-Type Pok�mon. Shellos and Buizel can both be picked up
on this Route without a problem as well). Either of them are very resistant to
Ponyta's Ember, and the former to Ponyta's Tackle. Direct a Rock-type or Water-
type attack at Ponyta, and a couple of hits later, it should be down for the
count.


	Once finished, head left through the large area of grass, then head
north up the staircase. Run to the right at the top to open the Pok�ball for an
X Attack, then go and face Hiker Daniel.

 ____________
|Hiker Daniel|
 ������������
	With four Pok�mon in his lineup, Daniel has by far the largest arsenal
in Route 205. As he starts the match with a Geodude, you should start in reverse
with a Water or Grass-type (Psychics or anybody who knows a Fighting move also
works, but DO NOT bring in Bug types). As Geodude knows Rock Throw, be careful
not to bring anybody in who is weak to Rock-type attacks (Flying, Fire, or the
aforementioned Bug types). Make sure that you go on the attack at the start; if
you let Geodude use Defense Curl, his physical Defense will rise to unfathomable
levels.

	After the fall of his first Geodude, Daniel will pull out Machop, who
is a very physical fighter, with two Fight-type moves, Focus Energy, and Leer. A
Flier or Psychic-type will perform very well in this fight, as not only are
Flying-type and Psychic-type moves effective against Machop, but they also take
only half damage from Fighting-type moves (as do Bug types, so use that if you
have no alternative).

	For his third choice, Daniel will bring out a second Geodude. Bring out
whoever you used during the first faceoff, or else use somebody fresh who still
has type-advantage. This will finally be followed by a Bidoof. As we all know
from having to fight them countless times already, Bidoof are weak, and this one
is no exception - just do not let the match stray too long, or it may actually
pose a fighting chance through the use of Defense Curl and Growl.


	Once done, head north and then down the stairs to the right, and face
off against Aroma Lady Elizabeth, the girl who is looking around in all
directions.

 ____________________
|Aroma Lady Elizabeth|
 ��������������������
	Although Elizabeth has only one Pok�mon, Budew can still be a fairly
annoying Pok�mon to deal with. This is partly due to its relatively high level
in comparison to other opponents, but also because of its moveset - Water Sport
to stop the effectiveness of Fire-types, Stun Spore to paralyze opponents, and
Mega Drain to recover Budew's own HP while damaging yours. Because that is the
case, about the only types of Pok�mon that will have an advantage in this match
are Flying-types and Poison-types - Flying attacks will hurt Budew because of
its Grass-type attribute, and Psychic attacks because of its Poison-type
attribute. Bring in either of these types of benefactors, and try to kill of
Budew quickly before it can use Stun Spore.


	With another win in the bag, head north across the grass patch, and face
off against the ranger girl who is wandering around, Picnicker Siana.

 _______________
|Picnicker Siana|
 ���������������
	Both of Siana's Pok�mon are Electric-types, with the former, Shinx,
knowing Tackle and Spark, while the latter, Pachirisu, knows only Spark. Good
types of Pok�mon to bring into this match are Grass-types, Rock-types, or your
own Electric-types. Spark will only do half damage against Grass and Electric,
and both Spark (a physical attack) and Shinx's Tackle will fare poorly against
any Rock-types, who should have very high Physical Defense. After you break this
down, it is fairly easy to win, so long as you do not make any major slip-ups.


	When you finally win the battle, go and grab some berries from the two
trees, then head left to open the Pok�ball for a Pok�ball. After, go south and
then back up the staircase to where Hiker Daniel is, then continue north up
another staircase, where you will face off against the Camper Zackary, who is
walking around.

	Of course you have faced off against another Geodude just like this.
Two, in fact. Recall back to your previous battle with Hunter Daniel, and
then pull out whatever you used against his own Geodudes to complete the lineup,
then fight against Zackary's Geodude and win.


	Make your way across the bridge, and at the end of the trek, you will
face off against another Hiker; in this case, Nicholas.
 ______________

 ��������������
	There's something almost familiar about this...oh right, the fact that
Onix is a Ground/Rock type, just like the Geodudes you have faced before him.
Onix is a bit more dangerous, though; Screech can greatly decimate your natural
defense stats, while Bind is a multi-turn attack that can hit for two to five
turns. Meanwhile, Rage is probably the greatest threat there is; the more times
Onix is struck with an attack, the more powerful Rage will be. As such, it is
quite imperative that you bring in either a Water or Grass-type to strike and
end the battle within two hits before Rage can become too strong.

	After the battle, continue on your arduous hike north through the
grasses, and once you get to the mountainous area, head left and pick up an
Insecticide from the Pok�ball lying in the corner. After, fight Battle Girl
Kelsey, who is the one walking around in a square nearby.

	This is another reasonably easy battle, with only one single Pok�mon,
who is also weak to some of the members of your team that you have likely been
using less as of late (and thus should have plenty of energy left to fight).
Given that it is a Machop, you can use either a Flying or Psychic-type to get
some super-effective attacks of of it, but with her Machop's level, using your
fight with Chinashi as experience fodder for some of your other Pok�mon is not a
bad idea either.

	After, talk to the nearby lady facing north to have a showdown with the
final trainer in this area, Picnicker Karina.

 ________________
|Picnicker Karina|
 ����������������
	Yes, it IS a Piplup. Since her Piplup knows Peck, bringing in a Grass-
type or Bug-type is out of the question for the moment (unless you have somebody
who is vastly overpowered enough to negate the type advantage, or have a really
powerful Grass attack on someone). The best method to defeat Piplup is to bring
in an Electric-type, such as Shinx or any of the Pachirisu that you may have
caught in this area, and use Spark to harm the Piplup without taking any major
damage back. You may also be inclined to use Pok�mon in this battle that have no
advantages or disadvantages against Piplup if needed.


	Once finished picking up your last win, head into the nearby house with
the red roof. Talk to the lady inside, and she will let you sleep there with an
automatic recover for all of your Pok�mon. Exit outside and head south down the
staircase, and open the Pok�ball lying on the ground for a Super Potion. Head
back up the staircase, then head left and north into the Eterna Forest.

	Some good Pok�mon to pick up here. If you have Pearl version, picking up
Misdreavous here is a very good opportunity, as Psychic, Fighting, and Normal
attacks will not be able to touch this thing. Murkrow is also useful for picking
up; not only is he a Dark/Flying type, but his new Diamond/Pearl evolution,
Honchkrow, can have a very powerful offense.

	After Cheryl joins you, head left from the start of Eterna Forest, and
open a Pok�ball lying on the patch of ground to obtain an Antidote. Once you
have picked it up, head east from the entrance, then north. Once you make it
past the first strip of grass, continue to head north and you will have your
first doubles battle showdown in the Eterna Forest, this time with Bug Catcher
Jack and Lass Briana.

 ______________________________________________
|Bug Catcher Jack / Lass Briana (Double Battle)|
 ����������������������������������������������
	For your side of the battle, a Fire-type Pok�mon will REALLY keep the
tide of the battle in your favor. If you lack such a type, then bring in a Rock-
type Pok�mon who has type advantage against Bug types and cannot be easily hurt
by the Pachirisu's Physical attacks. Once you knock out Pachirisu, you could
then switch to a Flying-type that you may have on-hand and then use it to sweep
the remaining trio of Bug Pok�mon.


	After you have finished winning the battle, continue on north and pick
up a Paralyze Heal from the Pok�ball lying on the ground. Continue west, then
head south, where you will face off against two Psychics, Lindsey and Elijah.

 ________________________________________________
|Psychic Lindsey / Psychic Elijah (Double Battle)|
 ������������������������������������������������
	It has been awhile since you encountered an actual Abra battle (the
last one being your first visit to Jubilife City), but now you should have a
couple of counters to defeat the Psychics' Abras. The first is to use pure Bug-
types (meaning that they do NOT have Poison-types, or the Abras' Psychic-type
attribute version of Hidden Power will hit them for double damage) and use Bug-
type attacks to deal double damage against the Abras. The other strategy that
one can utilize is to bring in Pok�mon that know the Dark-attribute move Bite so
far - Zubat, Turtwig, and Shinx so far are all capable of learning it (and their
evolutions a bit later). Being Psychic-types, the two Abras will be weak to
this. Even if you do not have either at hand, however, do not fret too much -
Chansey on her own should be able to deal with the Abras, so insofar as long as
you bring in one of your own strong Pok�mon, you should not worry too much about
losing.

	Once done picking up another win for your doubles team, head south and
grab a Great Ball from the Pok�ball lying in the southwest corner of the large
grass patch. Next, head straight right, where you will then battle with two more
Bug Catchers.

 ________________________________________________________
|Bug Catcher Phillip / Bug Catcher Donald (Double Battle)|
 ��������������������������������������������������������
	As the lineup is composed purely of Bug Pok�mon (with one Bug/Poison
type in Dustox), you should have a clear advantage; you can choose Fire, Flying,
or Rock Pok�mon as needed be, and with that in hand, you should have no problem
putting away all five of your foes in short fashion - this is made even easier
by their low levels. Just remember to switch out on the off chance your own
Pok�mon gets injured.


	Having finished your battle, head all the way right to the southeast
corner, and pick up a Potion from the Pok�ball in the grass. After, go back left
just a slight bit, then head north until you face off against two more Psychics,
who are also the last trainer duo in this area.

 ______________________________________________
|Psychic Kody / Psychic Rachael (Double Battle)|
 ����������������������������������������������
	The real threat here, believe it or not, may be Psyduck - with his
ability to use Disable, which blocks you from using one move for the rest of the
battle (and can do it to each Pok�mon), if you are using one-trick ponies, you
may want to reconsider your line-up. Bring in a Grass or Electric-type who know
at least one of their respective elemental attacks, and use it to quickly deal
damage to Psyduck before he can use Disable on you, proper. After he falls,
switch out your current Pok�mon for a Bug-type or Flying-type; since Meditite is
Psychic/Fighting type, he can be hit on either type with weaknesses.


	Now that you are done with fighting in the general area, progress along
with your journey through the forest by heading east and north from here.
Continue all the way west until you hit the end of the line, then grab a
Honey from the grass patch. Head north, then continue back east, ignoring the
trees for now (as you cannot cut them). After reaching the end, Cheryl will
thank you and leave. Follow after her into Route 205.

	From the Route 205 entrance, head down and right onto the bridge. Talk
to the second fisherman in the line to face off against Fisherman Joseph.

 ________________
|Fisherman Joseph|
 ����������������
	Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT bring in a Grass Pok�mon OR Bug type to fight
your battle for you. Type weaknesses aside, Goldeen naturally knows Peck, which
is a Flying-type attack - the perfect counter for any Grass or Bugs you may
choose to bring out onto the field. Instead, bring in another natural that also
has no disadvantage against Peck - an Electric-type. Pachirisu or Shinx will
both work, so long as either of them knows an Electric-type attack. After
wielding your attack, you should have no problem winning.

	Once done, put one of your Pok�mon in the front of your line-up that
desperately needs levels, and fight the next trainer in line (this one facing
right), Fisherman Andrew by talking to him.

 ________________
|Fisherman Andrew|
 ����������������
	I do not believe there really needs to be much said. With a legion of
Magikarps whose primary (and only) move is Splash, Andrew is for the
experience and money alone - use them as fodder to get some EXP onto a lower-
level Pok�mon.

	With one more person left, continue down and talk to Fisherman Zachary.

 _________________
|Fisherman Zachary|
 �����������������
	This is just a mix of the last two battles - two joke Magikarps and a
Goldeen with the exact same move set, but a level weaker. Use your strategy
against Joseph to defeat the Goldeen here, and pummel the Magikarps.


	Now that you are done sweeping your foes in the general area, head north
at the end of the bridge to grab some berries. Also while here, head to the
northeast corner of the grass patch which is bare, and examine the space to
obtain a Honey. Next, head south of the bridge and left to obtain a Potion
in the southwest corner. Go back up, and then right into Eterna City.

However, you cannot use HM01 (Cut) right now until you get the badge from

     �������������������������������������������������������������������������

	PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS: After a bit of dragging on, we have reached the
next gym. Given that Eterna has a Grass-based gym (along with some Bug-types),
Fire-types will dominate here, and so if you chose Chimchar at the beginning of
the game, use him with zeal. If you lack a suitable Fire-type, then you should
go to Route 211, northeast of Eterna City, and pick up a Ponyta - he will learn
Ember at Level 16, sure to be a detriment to any opponents.

	Also of use are Flying-type Pok�mon. Starly and its evolution, Staravia,
coupled with the power of Wing Attack, are very helpful here, also being able to
defeat both Grass and Bug-types.

	Of interest are any Psychic or Dark-types you may have up your sleeves
(or even any Pok�mon that can use Psychic or Dark-attribute attacks); Psychic
attacks are very effective against any Pok�mon with a Poison-type, and Dark
attacks are good against Bug-types. Be warned about pitting a Psychic type
against a Bug-type, however; Psychic-types are weak to Bug-attacks, and some of
your foes are pure-Bug, meaning you cannot attack a Poison weakness.


	Inside, talk to the Gym Leader Gardenia, who stands at the front of the
first door. She will force you to duel her four underlings before you can do
battle with Gardenia herself. Head into the arena, which is a forest area. Go
straight north from here until you reach the green Gym Leader's pedestal, then
head left from there a short distance and then south into a dead end. Talk to
Lass Caroline, who is standing to the left at the end, hidden by some trees.

 _____________
|Lass Caroline|
 �������������
	Caroline's first Pok�mon, a Cherubi, should not be too difficult to
counter; it lacks powerful attacks or defense, and its only trump card is the
ability to use Leech Seed. Send out an effective starter to crush it in a couple
of turns or even with an one-hit knockout. If by the end of the first round your
own Pok�mon has a Leech Seed on it, switch it out for someone else to fight her
Roselia. As Roselia knows Stun Spore and Mega Drain, both attacks which can
become relatively annoying, make sure you have somebody who can take her out
before she can attack; a Psychic-type can work wonders ehre for doing this.


	After scooping up a victory, head back up, then head left and down. At
the branch, head left and then down past the rocks, then right. Talk to the girl
hiding above a tree at the dead end here to face off against an Aroma Lady.

 ________________
|Aroma Lady Jenna|
 ����������������
	Jenna's entire team is composed of Budew, with all the same attacks. Do
not bother bringing in a Fire-type here, as Water Sport will ensure that your
attacks are weakened. Instead, bring in a Flying or Psychic type whom you can
use to take advantage of Budew's Grass and Poison types, respectively. Hit hard
and do not be afraid to switch out after you get paralyzed by Stun Spore - after
all, all three Budew know the move, so you may as well save your Paralyze Heal.


	Head back to the entrance of the forest, then go north a slight bit, and
head right into the area with three shrubs. Go up and head behind the three
shrubs, and talk to the Aroma Lady hiding behind the second shrub to battle her.

 _________________
|Aroma Lady Angela|
 �����������������
	Facing off the game's Grass Starter, you shall obviously have a bit more
difficult time than the previous two fights, especially since Turtwig actually
knows Razor Leaf, a move that's effective enough to decimate a lot of Pok�mon
weak to it. However, Turtwig is also only one Pok�mon, and it lacks any status
effect moves, so plan ahead and bring in somebody strong to counteract it. Any
Fire-type or Flying-type should get some love in this battle, considering how
unable Turtwig will be able to beat it.


	Now go back to the entrance again, but this time, head right, and then
far north to the northeastern-most section of the room. Head left at the very
end into a small chamber, and talk to the Beauty Lindsay, who is hanging out
in the bottom-left corner of the trees here to get into a fight.

 ______________
|Beauty Lindsay|
 ��������������
	Bring in the same Pok�mon you did against Caroline's Roselia to fight
Lindsay, who also uses a single Roselia. As the only difference between the two
is that this Roselia knows Poison Sting and is a few levels higher, you should
not have too much of a difficult time taking the battle.


	With the defeat of all four underlings, head to the entrance, and go
straight north to the Gym Leader's pedestal. Talk to Gardenia, who is now here,
and proceed to fight her in a battle.

 ___________________
|Gym Leader Gardenia|
 �������������������
	Watch out once you face Gardenia's Cherubi. It knows Grass Knot, which
deals more damage to Pok�mon that are heavier (you can check their weight in the
individual Pok�mon status screen or the Pok�dex). This obviously means that
(besides the type-disadvantage), you do NOT want to bring in an Onix. Even some
other ace in the holes that you may have been using so far might be too heavy to
fight properly against Cherubi. As a rule of thumb, it may be prudent to start
off with somebody under 50lb to a max of around 75lb, with the lighter being the
most effective. If you bring in someone who fits into this category that still
has the type advantage, you should not have much difficulty beating Cherubi, who
lacks effective attacks other than Grass Knot.

	Next up is Turtwig. Besides also having Grass Knot, he knows Reflect,
which allows him to put up a barrier that halves any damage done to him by a
Physical attack. At this point in time, likely the only Special attack that any
of your Pok�mon know that will be super-effective against Turtwig is Ember (or
Hidden Power if you teach that to any Fire or Flying-type Pok�mon). Of course,
you may also wish to strike it before it can strike you (or put up Reflect).

	Roserade will cause the biggest problem. In addition to the almighty
Grass Knot, she also knows Poison Sting, Stun Spore, and Magical Leaf. The
former two are both annoying status effects, while the latter is an always-
strike Grass attack. To win this battle, you will have to pull out all the stops
and bring in your strongest Pok�mon, and do battle until either of you faints.
Just make sure not to delay the battle too long, or else Gardenia will use Super
Potion.


	After you win, you will obtain the Forest Badge, along with TM86, which
teaches Grass Knot. Having finally gotten your second badge, exit the building.

	Outside again, first go to the Pok�mon Center. After you have finished
your business there, if you have not already, teach Cut to one of your Pok�mon.
Since you have the Forest Badge, you can now use Cut. Go to the bushes north of
the Pok�mon Center, and use Cut on the bushes to proceed through. This now
allows you to enter the Eterna branch of Team Galactic. Before entering the
Galactic Building, however, go out into Eterna Forest for an OPTIONAL sidestop.

	This will be your first chance to obtain Gastly, and for those playing
Diamond, your first chance to obtain a Ghost (Pearl players being able to obtain
Misdreavous in the forest). However, I recommend you wait until later when you
can get Gastlies at around Level 20, to avoid leveling up time. Inside, head
straight north while on the first floor into the dining room. Turn a left into
the kitchen, and examine the northernmost trash can to obtain an Antidote. Head
back into the main room.

	Now go up the left staircase, and enter the room here to obtain the Old
Gateau. Head back out, then go around to the northern room on the second floor
into a long hallway. Take the leftmost room here, and inside, grab a Dread
Plate. Go to the rightmost room back in the hallway, and grab TM90. Now that you
are done, exit the mansion, and head back to Eterna City.

building. Before entering, however, head east and north, cut open the tree, then
head east and open the Pok�ball lying on the ground to obtain TM46, which
teaches Thief. Head back and then enter.

	Inside, talk to the two Galactic members walking around if you wish;
however, once you are done, head up to the northeastern section of the room and
try to advance. You will be blocked by a double team of Galactic Grunts.

 _______________________________________________________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1 and Team Galactic Grunt 2 (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������������������������������������������
	As the first pair of Galactic Grunts will start off with a Zubat and
Wurmple, you should start off with a Psychic/Electric/Rock type (if using the
former, watch out for Zubat's Leech Life) and Flying/Fire type to gain the
immediate advantage. Take the initiative and direct both attacks at Zubat -
Wurmple is basically useless in a battle, whereas Zubat can cause some damage
with Supersonic, or even stop an attack with Astonish or Bite. If Nyaruuma is
the next one called out, then eliminate it quickly as well with a double attack
so that it cannot use Hypnosis to put you to sleep. After both of the threats
are eliminated, you can go and mop up Wurmple and Cascoon, both of who are
relatively uneventful and easy to defeat.


	Once you have made the victory, head up the stairs now that you have no
resistance to fight through. Up a level, head down and talk to the Galactic
Grunt sitting at the lower left table to face off against your first foe on this
floor.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1|
 ���������������������
	Start off with whatever Pok�mon you commonly use against Bug-types to
take on Galactic 1's Wurmple. Since Wurmple is Wurmple, it's a fairly useless
Pok�mon, and low Defense stats means that you should have no problem hitting it
with a one-hit knockout.

	Zubat is actually a reasonable match if you are using somebody who is on
par with his own level, as he can first use Supersonic to confuse you, and then
either Bite or Astonish, both of which have a chance of making you flinch,
rendering you unable to attack much of the time. Given its Flying/Poison-type
attributes, you can use either an Electric, Rock or Psychic attack; however,
since it knows both Bite AND Leech Life, an Electric-type or Rock-type attack is
highly recommended.


	Talk to the third Grunt sitting at a table (going from left to right)
for a single Pok�mon battle.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	This fight is ridiculously easy, as it is a lone Silcoon you are going
up against. Even without type advantage, this should be a surefire win, thanks
to Silcoon's meager stats and weak attack(s).


	That is all for this level. Now move up the next staircase in the
northeast corner, and up top, try to move right from your original position. You
will then be confronted by the third solo Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 3|
 ���������������������
	Bring in a Fire-type/Flying-type to pick off the first two Pok�mon, a
Silcoon and Wurmple respectively. As usual, they are not very tough to defeat,
but can still be dangerous if they manage to use their Poison Sting; in this
case, make sure you have an Antidote handy. For the third Pok�mon, a Zubat, the
fight may be relatively more difficult, but still should not be too difficult.
You can easily finish it off with an Electric or Rock or Psychic type, but
again, watch for it's Leech Life attack if using Psychic.


	Finally, continue on right and then up to try and reach the stairs, and
you will be halted by the Scientist Rudolph.

 _________________
|Scientist Rudolph|
 �����������������
	At last, you will be facing off a Psychic-type Pok�mon. These are tricky
to fight off, as often, you will either not have somebody with a type-advantage
against them, or your Pok�mon will have a Poison-subtype which renders them weak
to Psychic-type attacks. Since you likely will not have a Dark-type Pok�mon yet,
good substitutes include pure-Bug types such as Kricketune (who can use Fury
Cutter or Leech Life) or Pok�mon who know Dark attacks such as Bite. Once you
have that, the verdict is in for Kadabra.


	After you have defeated the good scientist, head upstairs. Talk to the
hostage if you wish, but then speak to Team Galactic Jupiter to face off against
Galactic's latest agent.

 _________________
|Commander Jupiter|
 �����������������
	Agent Jupiter starts off with a high-level Zubat, which is much stronger
than all the past Zubats in this building. With Bite and Astonish in its
arsenal, you NEED to use something that isn't Psychic in this match; Rock types
are also out of the game thanks to Zubat's Giga Drain, which not only hurts with
its Grass-atribute, but also helps Zubat regain life.

	Skuntank is a different story altogether, thanks to his Poison/Dark
types. Using Psychic, Bug, or Fighting-type attacks won't work as the opposite
type will negate your advantage. In fact, only Ground-type attacks will be super
effective against Skuntank. At this point in time, the only Pok�mon you might
have that know a Ground-attack are Geodude and Graveler, the former of whom
learns Magnitude at Level 15. Geodude/Graveler is also a good choice to use as
Defense Curl and Rock Polish can be used to counter Skuntank's Screech and
Smokescreen, while you can whip out an Antidote for use on Poison Gas. Another
strategy you can use is to switch Pok�mon out constantly and wear down
Skuntank's stats with stats-lowering moves; since this will be your last battle
in the Tower, it does not matter what happens, so long as you win.


	Having finally dispatched the boss, some small talk will go down, and
Team Galactic will evacuate the building. Afterwards, the bicycle shop guy will
leave the premises. Follow him down and out into Eterna City again.

------------
Eterna City
------------
	Outside, cut your way through the bushes. Make your obligatory stop at
the Pok�mon Center, then head to the Bike Shop, which is directly south of the
Pok�mon Center. Enter the building, and inside, talk to the man at the counter,
who will give you a free Bike in return for your saving him. This will help to
add some speed to your transportation.

	Now, you have two choices as to what to do right now. You can either
continue on in the game by heading off to the Cycling Road, or you could take a
quick distraction and go to Route 211. For the time being, I shall document the
latter. To make your way to Route 211 itself, you must first go onto the road
directly north of the Pok�mon Center, then head east all the way past a statue
of the Legendary God Pok�mon of whichever version you are playing, then into
Route 211.

	Out in Route 211, go straight north and examine one of the empty spaces
in the grass patch for a hidden Pok� Ball. Afterwards, head down a bit, and then
right. In the grass next to a rock wall, you should see what looks like a
boulder, but do not let the camouflage fool you; it is a Ninja Boy disguising
himself. Approach him to face off against Zach.

 ______________
|Ninja Boy Zach|
 ��������������
	Hurray for a trio of annoying Zubats. Preferably bring  an Electric-type
or Rock-type over a Psychic-type into this match, as all three Zubats have Leech
Life AND Bite; however, keep another Pok�mon on backup that is also effective
against the Zubats in case your starter gets confused by Supersonic. As being
confused may be a pain, you may want to switch to someone else to make use of
the fodder for experience.

	Having claimed victory, head down south a bit through the grass patches,
then progress right across the bridge. Once reaching across the opposite side,
you should face off against the Hiker Louis.

 ___________
|Hiker Louis|
 �����������
	This is actually a pretty basic fight. Louis' Geodude and Onix are
barely stronger than when you fought Gym Leader Roark back in Oreburgh City, and
you have likely leveled up large amounts by now. Bring in whatever team you used
then (or a reformed team, as long as it's stacked with Fighting, Grass, and
Water attacks) to pummel both the Geodude and the Onix in short order.

	Afterwards, destroy the Rock which is behind Louis, and go down and to
the left. You should instantly face off against Bird Keeper Alexandra once you
reach the bottom of the stairs.

 _____________________
|Bird Keeper Alexandra|
 ���������������������
	Hoothoot is a fairly high-level Pok�mon compared to the battles before;
however, if you have been getting any time in with your Electric or Rock-type
Pok�mon, you should bring them in. The only thing to be aware of is that since
Hoothoot knows Reflect (which halves damage done by Physical attacks), you
should bring in somebody fast; any Rock-type or Electric-type attacks you have
likely learned so far on any of your Pok�mon will be Physical, unless you use
Hidden Power. As it is, bring in somebody to hit hard and fast, then as soon as
he uses Reflect, bring down Hoothoot's Defense stats if he doesn't fall in the
first strike. Also make sure you have a couple of Awakenings on hands to
counteract Hoothoot's Hypnosis.


	Now that you are done defeating the triad of trainers here, head
straight south from Bird Keeper Alexandra. Lying on the ground at the end of the
path is a Pok�ball containing TM12.

	At this point in time, you CAN enter the cave (part of Tengan Mountain)
next to Hiker Louis; however, at the current moment, you will be unable to do
anything but for training and catching whatever Pok�mone may be in there. This
is because you have a number of boulders in there, and you will need Strength to
get anywhere, which is later in the game.

     ������������������������������������������������������������������

	In the checkpoint, talk to the scientist/assistant standing near the
northern door. If you have SEEN (not caught) at least 35 different types of
Pok�mon, he will then give you the Exp. Share, which allows you to equip it onto
a Pok�mon; that Pok�mon will henceforth get a portion of the EXP you gain from
each battle, no matter whether it was out on the field or not. Head out onto the
actual field now. For a side note, Cycling Road is ALSO Route 206.

	Outside, head down the cycling road and go down to the right side. In
doing so, you should quickly face off against the first Trainer on Cycling Road,
Cyclist Axel.

 ____________
|Cyclist Axel|
 ������������
	Considering that (if you are following this walkthrough entirely) your
last battle was against a Hoothoot, the battle against Axel and his Staravia
should not be too different, with the exception of not having Reflect OR
Hypnosis; as thus, use who you wish to without qualms to defeat the Staravia
with relative ease compared to the earlier Hoothoot.


	Afterwards, head to the far left side of the road, then continue down to
duel with Cyclist Megan.

 _____________
|Cyclist Megan|
 �������������
	Although the ante may have been upped a bit in terms of levels and stats
on Cyclist Road, the same general strategies have not, and Megan's lone Shinx is
the same; you can still utilize your same strategies to defeat it. Bring in a
Grass or Rock-type (Geodude preferred for the latter attribute, since it knows
Ground-type moves, the only thing that Electric-types are weak to), and pound
away at the Shinx until it's fainted.


	Proceed down the center line to face off against your next opponent,
this time Cyclist Jamie.

 _____________
|Cyclist Jamie|
 �������������
	Be careful, as Ponyta knows Ember, so that automatically disqualifies
any Bugs or Grass-types that you were planning to use. On the other hand, since
Ponyta is a Fire-type (something you haven't encountered very often this far in
the game), you can easily slaughter it using Water-type, Rock-type, or Ground-
type attacks. If you picked up a Shellos all the way back on Route 205, have a
Piplup, or any Rock-type Pok�mon up your sleeve that you wish to use, now is the
perfect time to use it, as you won't be facing Fire-types very often for quite a
while.


	Afterwards, do what you will as you continue downwards, as Cyclist
Nicole will be going around back and forth in a square pattern. If you wish to
face her, then move up and down for a bit until you catch his attention.

 ______________
|Cyclist Nicole|
 ��������������
	Considering that Nicole has basically the same Pok�mon as Cyclists Axel
and Jamie before her (Starly as compared to Staravia and a Ponyta), you will
probably wish to use a portmanteau of the strategies you used against the two
earlier opponents; an Electric or Rock-type followed up by a Water or Rock-type.
If you won the earlier matches, this should not be difficult either, especially
considering that the levels of both her Pok�mon are lower.


	Continue down the center line, and eventually, you will hit Cyclist
John. Talk to him to initiate a duel with him.

 ____________
|Cyclist John|
 ������������
	More Flying Pok�mon, this time a Starly followed up by a Staravia. As
you have been facing off against Fliers for the last couple of areas, you may
have developed a general formula for use against them; as such, bring this into
play to demolish John's two Flying-type Pok�mon. As usual, if you do not have a
formula down pat, Rock-types or Electric-types work wonders for bringing them
down quickly.

	Once the face-off is finished, head down the left side at the split here
to take on yet another Cylist; in this case, Cyclist Ryan.

 ____________
|Cyclist Ryan|
 ������������
	Another battle, and another Flying-type. The same Pok�mon you used
during the previous battles may be used here; at the same time, you can also
choose to utilize a Psychic-type, so long as you remain wary of Zubat's Leech
Life, which has a type-advantage over Psychic-types.


	We are almost done here. Continue down the road, and take off the last
bicyclist to the left, Cylist Rachel.

 ______________
|Cyclist Rachel|
 ��������������
	Thankfully not being a battle with any Flying-types, Rachel still
utilizes two Shinx, which are the exact same Pok�mon that Megan used before her;
the only difference is that this time she uses two of them, and her's are also
lower leveled. Use the same general strategy as you did in your battle with
Megan to put another win on the record.


	Having won the battle, head to the right and talk to the last trainer on
Cycling Road, Cyclist Kayla.

 _____________
|Cyclist Kayla|
 �������������
	And to end it off, the mascot of Pok�mon. Unfortunately, Pikachu is
rather tame even compared to the two Shinx before it, as it lacks the oomph to
make any devastating moves without Bite. Considering that after that, Pikachu is
still a first-stage evolution, just like the Shinx, you should put it out of its
misery with whomever you have been using against Electric-types for the last
while; and have fun beating up Pikachu while you are at it.

	Finally, done the circuit that is Cycling Road, head down into the
building at the south. Continue out through the bottom entrance onto Route 206.

	The route may actually look short, as if you walk straight south, you
immediately get to Route 207. However, go right from the staircase, and cut the
shrubs blocking your path. Head north in the grass for a bit, but constantly
press left; eventually, you will be able to go underneath the bridge that serves
Cycling Road (a brown-leaved tree should just be north of you at this point in
time). Underneath here, grab a Burn Heal from a Pok�ball lying in the center of
the ground, then head back right and continue north.

	Eventually, you should spot a Pok�ball that is lying to the right of a
giant rock. Open it up for a Silver Powder, then continue north a bit more to
face off against Hiker Theodore.

 ______________
|Hiker Theodore|
 ��������������
	Another route, another Trainer to face off against. Thankfully, you've
faced off against his ilk only a bit earlier in the form of Hiker Louis on Route
211 (West). Even the levels are the same, with the sole exception being that he
has an Onix in place of his Geodude. Your own Pok�mon should be, of course,
decently stronger by now; this will negate any advantage that Theodore might get
by having a higher Defense stats on his second Onix than having a Geodude, so
lash away with any Grass, Water, or Fighting attacks you have up your sleeve.


	After taking the battle, head left across underneath the bridge, and on
the opposite side, head left and down a bit to examine a Pok�ball for a Super
Repel. IF you want to do so, you can go to the Cave of Doubt, an optional
sidequest cave that lies just behind Hiker Thoedore; however, it is long, very
frustrating, and without the use of Flash, only a small portion of the cave will
be illuminated. If you wish to go now, check the Sidequests section > Cave of
Doubt (not yet done). Otherwise, now that your business here is done, head back
all the way south to the start of Route 206, then head south into Route 207.

	Head down from the start of Route 207, and Lucas/Dawn will come up to
meet you. When presented with the option of "Left" or "Right", either choice is
fine: she will give you the Dowsing Machine regardless, which will allow you to
find hidden items in the ground; and the Vs. Seeker, which allows you to find
Trainers who wish to challenge you again. From here, you can also go down the
sandfall nearby to head straight south to Oreburgh City (go back up the sand via
your Bike). For now, however, head west, and face off against a double battle
against Camper Anthony and Picnicker Lauren.

 _________________________________________________
|Camper Anthony / Picnicker Lauren (Double Battle)|
 �������������������������������������������������
	Any Pok�mon that knows a Rock-type or Ground-type attack HAS to come
into this battle, no ifs, ands, or buts; both Fire and Electric-type attacks
will be weak or negated by the aforementioned Pok�mon-types, and in turn, Rock
beats Fire, and Ground beats both. After that, you will have a rather difficult
time fielding a Pok�mon that can beat one that isn't dominated by the other. As
such, you may wish to stick to a Pok�mon neutral to both types. The only other
major note is that you should watch out for Pachirisu's Charm in this battle; if
you delay in taking her out, focusing on the Ponyta instead, by the time you get
to her, you might not have enough Attack to defeat her.


	After you win the battle, continue right, and pick up the Pok�ball lying
between the two pillars to obtain a Super Potion. Afterwards, head back left a
bit past the Camper/Picnicker couple, then head south down a ledge next to the
rock cliff. Down here, head right, and face off against Youngster Austin, who is
walking around.

 ________________
|Youngster Austin|
 ����������������
	As you are about to see pretty soon (and have in the last little bit),
there shall be a lot of Flying-type Pok�mon for the next long stretch of the
game to battle. As such, it is imperative to focus now on the two types Flying
Pok�mon are weak to that you have an abundance of - Electric-types and Rock-
types. Take the time to formulate a general strategy, with specialized
strategies for each second Subtype a flier might have (the most common being
Normal and Poison for now).

	With that spiel out of the way, you will also face off against a
Chimchar. He isn't very different yet from the handful of trainer and wild
Ponyta that you have faced so far, so continue on with your current lineup for
downing Fire Pok�mon. However, you should watch out for his Flame Wheel, which
has a bit more power than Ember and a much higher likelihood of causing a Burn.

	Geodude does not even need elaboration. Water, Grass, Fighting-type
attacks, and the like.


	When that is done, head up the nearby stairs, then go left and up
another flight. Head over to talk to Hiker Kevin to fight him in a battle.

 ___________
|Hiker Kevin|
 �����������
	This is a pretty basic battle, so long as you know what you're doing.
For the three Geodudes, utilize the same lineup as you have been using for the
last couple of Hikers you have faced off against. When it comes time to take on
the Zubat, once again, don't use a Psychic-type, as you'll get raped to hell and
back by Leech Life and Bite; instead, again, use an Electric-type or Rock-type
to take advantage of Zubat's Flying-type attribute.


	Afterwards, head south and grab the Pok�ball on the ground across the
bridge for a Critical Hit. Now go back across the bridge, then head right past
the staircase to face off against Battle Girl Helen.

 _________________
|Battle Girl Helen|
 �����������������
	Meditite is one of the more Type combinations that you do not see very
often; in this case, Psychic/Fighting. Detect allows him to evade an attack,
while Hidden Power is a Special Attack that can be either Psychic or Fighting-
type. Confusion is also a strong Psychic attack, capable of confusing you (as
the name suggests). If you have a pure Ghost type, such as Misdreavous (can only
get in Pearl), bring it into the battle to hit Meditite's Psychic type with
Ghost-type attacks. You can also bring in a Flying-type Pok�mon; just make sure
that if it's second subtype is Normal to not be hit by Hidden Power.

	Machop is an easier entity to take care of. Focus Energy allows him to
raise the critical hit ratio of his attacks. If you have a pure Ghost up your
sleeve, bring it in, since Fighting attacks will not hit at all, which is all
that Machop has. Lacking that, a Psychic type should work wonders with Machop,
who is weak to Psychic attacks.


	Once you have won your battle with Sarina, head right, up and left down
the stairs. Jump off the ledge, then go up and right past the Hiker to face
Hiker Justin.

 ____________
|Hiker Justin|
 ������������
	Geodude is, obviously, much more of the same. You have been here a dozen
times before, so you should know by now what to do.

	Justin's second Pok�mon, a Bronzor, is something you have not
encountered before. It is a Psychic/Steel type, and because of it's Steel
subtype, it has very few type weaknesses. In fact, its only weaknesses are
Ground and Fire. However, its two possible Abilities, Levitate and Heatproof
respectively, ensure that Ground attacks will not work on Bronzor and that Fire
attack damage is lowered. Additionally, because it knows Psychic-type attacks,
this means no Fighters either (Chimchar line). As such, bring in a pure Fire-
type such as a Ponyta who is in abundance on the last few routes, and use Ember
until it falls.


	Finally, head inside the cave to go inside another section of Mt.
Coronet.

	There isn't really altogether too much to do in Mt. Coronet, considering
the lack of trainer and items, and that you cannot do anything without Strength
or Surf. Head south from the entrance and then right, and you will run into a
blue-haired man who will talk about Mt. Coronet. After he leaves, head up the
stairs to your north (breaking through the rocks with Rock Smash will take you
the exact same direction), and then head up and right down the stairs. Exit
outside from the eastern door.

	From the exit out of Mt. Coronet, cross the first bridge, and on the
crossway plateau, talk to the Woodsman to face off against Hiker Robert for your
first battle in Route 208.

 ____________
|Hiker Robert|
 ������������
	It is two Geodudes. Rock-type Pok�mon and Hiker. Put the two together,
remember back to all your previous battles with Hikers for the last hour of
playtime or so, and then crush your opposition with your regular lineup.


	Continue on up the north bridge, and you will encounter another Trainer
who is walking around in a square. Catch his attention to duel Black Belt Kyle.

 _______________
|Black Belt Kyle|
 ���������������
	And now, for something totally different. Machop should be a pretty
reasonable match-up for you, as it is something we have not seen in a long time
(outside of your earlier battle with Helen). Focus Energy can be dangerous if
you wait to finish him off after he has performed it, as it heightens his
chances of performing a Critical Hit. If you picked up a Misdreavous earlier
(Pearl only), you can use it to win this battle without ever being touched
(thanks to pure Ghost-types not getting hit by Normal or Fighting-type attacks).
Lacking that, Flying-type attacks or Psychic-type attacks can make short work of
Machop.


	After the battle, head left and down past where you fought Kyle, and
open the Pok�ball lying next to the river to obtain an X Speed. Proceed back up
and across the bridge to the plateau again, and this time, head right. After you
make it across the bridge, you will be forced into a battle with Hiker Jonathan.

 ______________
|Hiker Jonathan|
 ��������������
	Considering that it is another Woodsman, you would expect another Rock-
type Pok�mon, and Hiker Jonathan continues the trend with a lone Onix in his
lineup. That being the case, call out whoever you will from the
Grass/Water/Fighting category to fight Onix and take the fodder experience.


	Continue right and north from your face-off with Jonathan. At the end of
the north direction, break the rocks to your left using Rock Smash, and go down
the stairs to open the Pok�ball for a Pok� Ball. Head back right and continue in
that direction, then go down the staircase. In the grass patches below, head
right to take on Aroma Lady Hannah.

 _________________
|Aroma Lady Hannah|
 �����������������
	Combee, Hannah's first Pok�mon, is fodder, period. Its only known moves
are Sweet Scent and Gust; the former is basically useless when coupled with an
attack like the latter. So long as you make sure not to bring somebody in who's
weak to Flying attacks, defeating Combee should be a breeze.


	Afterwards, head right and enter the house. Inside, talk to the old man,
and he will give you a random berry. Talk to the girl wandering around, and say
yes to gain a new Pok�tch feature, the Berry Searcher. You can also buy
different types of soil from the lady here for $200 each. Exit outside, then
ehad south to fight the Artist William.

 ______________
|Artist William|
 ��������������
	Pure Ghost, Pure Bug, Pure Dark, or anybody who knows any moves from
these three type categories should make the entrance into the battle against
Mime Jr. However, where possible, preferably make it the Pure Ghost. This is
thanks to Mime Jr.'s Encore, which if it hits, can make you repeat the same move
you just performed two to six times. Since Bonsly comes next, who knows a
Fighting and Normal move, being a pure Ghost means it will not connect. Lacking
a Ghost, just bring in somebody who can hit Mime Jr. hard, and then switch out
for somebody who can also dominate Bonsly (who is a Rock type....better than the
Geodudes and Onixes littering the last few Routes).


	Once done, head straight south, and talk to a Black Belt standing in the
corner next to some trees. He will give you an Odd Keystone. Now that your time
here is finished, head back up and then head right to enter Hearthome City.

	Go through the checkpoint. Head right from the entrance to Hearthome,
and a Buneary will come out of nowhere and run into you. A girl will catch up
with it, apologize, and then leave. After the event, continue east into
Hearthome itself. Visit the Pok�mon Center, which is in the center-west section
of the city, and recover up. You can also visit the house right next to the
Center and talk to Bebe inside, and afterwards, your Pok�mon PC will be named
Bebe's PC. Talk to the lady with purple hair standing outside of the Contest
Hall in the middle of the city; she will introduce herself as Fantina, Hearthome
Gym Leader, then run off. Head inside, and you will receive the Glitter Powder
and a Dress, along with being able to enter contests from now on. This last step
is mandatory to advance on in the game.

	As well, head to the house to the east of the Pok� Mart, and talk to the
man inside to obtain the Poffin Case. You can also go inside the apartment to
the right of this house, go up the elevator, and talk to the lady at the top to
obtain a Shell Bell (a Held Item that restores your own Pok�mon's HP as it
damages other Pok�mon).

	After you have done all you have, go south and leave the city. Or not...

 _____
|Rival|
 �����
	Starly is a constant on your Rival's team no matter what Pok�mon you
chose at the start; also despite his level, Starly has not been evolved into a
Starvia. Because Starly has only Normal and Flying type moves at its disposal,
both Electric-types and Rock-types work well; the latter, better, thanks to its
natural resistance to both Quick Attack and Wing Attack.

	When taking on Buizel/Prinplup, make sure that you keep your eye on
other-attribute moves that they may possess; Buizel's Dark-attack Pursuit means
not to bring in any Psychics or Ghosts, while Prinplup's Peck can take on Grass
and Bug-types. However, neither of them pose any serious threat to a decent
Electric-type, who will gain 2x against both types.

	Roselia/Grotle follow the same fashion, as neither of them have Subtypes
in addition to being Grass that protect against their two major weaknesses;
Fight and Fire, and in Roselia's case, Psychic. However, they can both be
annoying between Mega Drain and Poison Sting, Absorb and Withdraw. As such, take
them out quickly before they may be allowed to become a nuisance.

	Ponyta can be solved by a basic Rock or Water attack. Monferno is not so
simple to fell, as he knows Mach Punch, which may present a difficulty to your
Rock-types, and also has STAB bonus. In such a situation, it may be better just
to use a Flier or Psychic to bring the shift away from his Mach Punch to Flame
Wheel, which isn't quite as effective.



	Once you have won, go back to the Pok�mon Center and deposit one of your
Pok�mon, leaving only five in your current lineup. Now head to the southern end
of the city, then right to the southeast corner. Before leaving Hearthome City,
talk to the Woodsman standing near the checkpoint. He will give you an Egg if
you answer Yes. As you walk around, the Egg will get closer to hatching,
eventually hatching into a Happiny, which will itself evolve into a Chansey. Now
that is done, head right through the checkpoint and continue on your journey.

	Out on Route 209, you have a new set of Pok�mon that you can capture.
Mime Junior is pretty useless, but Gastly is a useful Pok�mon to pick up if you
are playing Diamond and cannot obtain a Misdreavous. Levitate also reduces the
number of weaknesses his evolution line has by one.

	Out here, head right and talk to the girl standing just east of the sign
to battle Pok�mon Breeder Albert.

 ______________________
|Pok�mon Breeder Albert|
 ����������������������
	Bonsly is a Rock Pok�mon. Despite being different in moves from the
handful of Geodude and Onix you have faced in the past, he is still a Rock-
Pok�mon; as such, you should do as you always will and bring in a Water or
Grass-type to kill him off quickly.

	Next up is the mega-annoying Budew, who between Stun Spore and Water
Sport means that you should bring in either a Psychic-type or Flying-type (Water
Sport reduces damage done by Fire attacks). Finish it off fast to avoid being
paralyzed by its Stun Spore.

	Most annoying, however, is Alberta's Pichu. Never mind the fact that it
has Thunderwave; Pichu's Static Ability means that it has a good chance of
paralyzing its opponent every turn. After that, it can use Double Team to raise
its evasiveness to broken levels, all the time utilizing Tail Whip and Quick
Attack to take down any opponents with high Defense. About the only way that you
CAN reasonably win without any injury is to bring in a Rock/Ground Pok�mon such
as Geodude, whose Ground-type attribute keeps Thunderwave from affecting him.
Magnitude will also send Pichu packing after a couple of turns, no matter the
strength.


	After the battle, head down and talk to the fisherman on the nearby dock
to get the Good Rod, which allows you to catch Pok�mon other than Magikarp. Also
head north of Albert and to the northeast corner of the grass patch to claim a
Honey. Back at Albert, using him as a landmark, head straight right across the
bridge. At the next land mass, continue right a bit to face off against the Twin
Girls Emma and Lil.

 __________________________________
|Twins Emma and Lil (Double Battle)|
 ����������������������������������
	Although not the biggest threat as far as actual attack power goes, Mime
Jr. is a very annoying Pok�mon because of its Encore; it can force you to repeat
the move that you just utilized for two to six turns straight. Throw it in with
Mimic, and you should probably bring in a setup of two Pok�mon who are not weak
to the other's attacks (Dark/Ghost and Water is a good combination) so that Mime
Jr. (and Bonsly, who also knows Mimic) cannot use your attacks against you.
Thankfully, Mime Jr.'s actual offensive power is not so great, as even with
Meditate, Doubleslap does little damage. After Mime Jr. is taken out, finish off
the twins by defeating Bonsly.


	After you win, head right and talk to the Pikachu on the dock to get
into a duel with Pok� Kid Danielle.

 _________________
|Pok� Kid Danielle|
 �����������������
	Having faced Albert's Pichu before, this battle should be seen as
basically the same thing; the only real difference is that Danielle uses a
Pikachu, so it will be a good deal stronger than the Pichu. Come in with
something like Magnitude or Earthquake to take Pikachu out right away, as it
also has Static as its Ability.

	Before continuing on, if you wish to, you can head straight north from
the Twin Girls and then left across two bridges to grab some berries. After
that, head north and right from the Twin Girls to cross a bridge, then head up
towards the dug-up hole to face Pok�mon Breeder Jennifer.

 ________________________
|Pok�mon Breeder Jennifer|
 ������������������������
	In the Twins battle earlier, you fought a Mime Jr. with the same setup
as Jennifer's first Mime Jr.; the only difference is Copycat, which is a MUCH
less flexible form of Mimic. Take the initiative and nullify the use of Encore
by starting off with a Ghost-type, Bug-type or Dark-type attack so even if you
are affected by it, you will continue hitting Mime Jr. with attacks that it is
weak to.

	Cleffa is not too bad, so long as you avoid a war of attrition; once
that becomes the case, Cleffa has a chance of winning through the use of Sweet
Kiss (which may cause Confusion) and Sing (which can put you to sleep), followed
up by Magical Leaf (no-miss attack). However, considering its stats, it should
not be too difficult to defeat in short time.

	Budew is something you have also fought against. Just go god-mode on it
with a Flying or Psychic type to trump it in no time at all.


	After you win, continue right along the dirt road. To your east, you
should see a run-down well. Examine it, and if you have the Odd Keystone from a
few routes back, you can insert it here to make a Hallowed Well. To your north
will be another dug-up hole, this time complete with a sandfall at the end of
it. To get up the sandfall, you need to go a bit south from it first (before the
stairs, minimal), get onto your bike and go into second gear (press B), then
build up speed and head north and up the sandfall. As soon as you do, you will
face off with the Cowgirl Shelley.

 _______________
|Cowgirl Shelley|
 ���������������
	Unfortunately, this battle is a legion of five of one of the most
annoying Pok�mon you will ever face; in this case, Bidoof. Each Bidoof varies
only in level, with Tackle, Defense Curl, and Growl being constant between all
five Bidoof. Ideally, you COULD just use all five as experience fodder,
considering that none of them have the dangerous Rollout. However, at the same
time, you could also just throw in one Pok�mon that needs the experience; since
they are altogether fairly weak at this poin in time, if you have one Pok�mon
that knows a move that increases with attack power for each time you repeat it
(ie. Fury Cutter or Rollout), you can bring that into play too.


	Once done, head left and down the grass patch. This next bit is tricky;
another hole complete with sandfall lies in front of you, but unlike before, you
have to traverse around some rocks. To complete this, you need to bike down the
stairs at top speed, then head right and then up again. Once you complete it,
your reward will be a Calcium. Now head back to where Cowgirl Anii is standing,
then go right and through the large grass path. Proceed down to find a tree
blocking your way, and cut it down using Cut. Grab the Pok�ball on the ground
for TM47, which teaches Steel Wing. Now go back to Cowgirl Shelley for the last
time, and continue a bit north to get thrown into a double battle with the
Couple Ty and Sue.

	Machop and Meditite might have other moves. However, while they are
acting as a Doubles team, they only utilize a Mind Reader - Seismic Toss
combination, with the former attack ensuring the latter hits. Since they are
both Fighting and Meditite Psychic, improvise by wrecking their strategy - bring
in a Flier and either a pure Ghost or someone who knows a Dark-type attack to
wreck Meditite off the start. Once Meditite is out of the way, you have no
threat from any possible Psychic attacks he may be hiding, and then you can
pound Machop.

	Now, you have a choice. You can either go to Solaceon Town and continue
on with your quest to Veilstone City, or you can go to Lost Tower which is the
giant skyscraper to your right and get HM04, Strength. You will need HM04 later
on in the game, but not now; on the other hand, the trainers and Pok�mon inside
are also within your level range at the moment. For the purpose of this
walkthrough, the Lost Tower walkthrough will be done here.

	At the beginning of the tower, head to the northwest corner and go up
the staircase. Up a floor, continue down past the graves, and then head left to
face off against Youngster Olliver.

 _________________
|Youngster Olliver|
 �����������������
	You may remember facing a Galactic Commander a long, long time ago who
utilized a Skuntank. Olliver's Stunky is the pre-evolved form of said Skuntank,
and has the same annoying Dark/Poison types. If you have somebody who knows an
offensive Ground attack, use it. Otherwise, use someone else with a powerful
attack to take Stunky out in two hits top, before it can severely affect you
with Poison Gas, Smokescreen or Screech.

	Once Shellos comes out, you can switch out for anything that Water is
weak to. Despite its ability to use Ground attacks, it does not have a Ground
subtype, so you can attack with Electric here. On the same note, Electric-types
should watch out for Shellos' Mud Bomb, but other than that, it really does not
pose too much of a threat.

	Kricketune should not be too difficult a fight at all. One
Flying/Fire/Fighting hit later, it'll be down for the battle.


	Pick up the Oval Stone right above you, then continue on clockwise onto
the third floor. Continue down and then left up here, and talk to the old man at
the end on the southern side of the room to face off against Roughneck Kirby.

 _______________
|Roughneck Kirby|
 ���������������
	Between Sing, Growl, and Sweet Kiss (being able to put you to sleep,
dropping your attack power and confusing you in that order), Cleffa is a Pok�mon
of attrition; however, there is one problem to that, and that is its relatively
poor stats, being a baby Pok�mon. Bring in somebody who knows a Fighting-type
move, or failing that, a Ghost-type such as Gastly or Misdreavous (Normal-type
attacks will not faze any Ghost-type). Give it no more than two turns, and
Cleffa should be neutralized as a threat.


	Head left from the Roughneck to pick up a Revive, then continue north to
take on Pok�fan Leonard.

 _______________
|Pok�fan Leonard|
 ���������������
	Oh great, a Pikachu-line triple team. You NEED to bring in somebody with
a Ground-attribute to nullify all the Thunder Waves, which can be very annoying;
even then, Static can still affect you after you down each of the Pichus and the
Pikachu. The only other things you should watch out for are Sweet Kiss and
Charm, both of which can be severely annoying.

	Proceed left and onto the next floor. Up here, head straight south to
face off against Pok�fan Rebekah.

 _______________
|Pok�fan Rebekah|
 ���������������
	Bring in somebody with a Grass or Water-type attack. Bonsly has nothing
against the type of Pok�mon that usually have them, and is weak to both types of
attacks. The only thing that he has in his arsenal that can be a major threat is
Flail, and if you make sure to bring in somebody quicker than he is to attack
first on the second turn (if required), you can avoid serious damage.


	Continue again to face Belle and Pa Beth and Bob in a double battle.

 _________________________________________
|Belle and Pa Beth and Bob (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������
	Against the Buizel/Ponyta combination, you will have to make sure that
neither of your Pok�mon are weak against either of the Belle and Pa's. Your best
lineup at this point in the game is probably an Electric/Water duo, with your
Electric taking on Buizel and your Water on Ponyta. Ponyta's Ember would be
ineffective against your Water, and Buizel's Water Gun ineffective against both.
After that, they really do not have anything to use against you.


	Next, head left and pick up TM27 off the floor (which teaches Return).
Now go back north to where Pok�fan Rebekah is, then head left to get into
another Double battle; this time, with the Young Couple Mike and Nat.

 _________________________________________
|Young Couple Mike and Nat (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������
	You will be going up against a fairly painful combination here in
Misdreavous/Murkrow. If you have the types, you should probably bring in someone
who knows either Ghost or Dark attacks, and then somebody who knows Rock,
Electric, or Ice attacks for Murkrow. In all actuality, however, you might only
have a Rock or Electric type for Murkrow, so just bring him in and then make
sure you have somebody who's neutral or resistant to Dark, Ghost, and Flying-
type attacks to act as backup for your Rock/Electric-type and to take on
Misdreavous after. Murkrow and Misdreavous themselves use a pretty basic
combination of Dark, Ghost, and Flying attacks. The only real stuff that you
have to watch out for is Misdreavous' Confuse Ray, which can be annoying pretty
quickly, especially with a very high accuracy rate.

	With the battle done, continue on your traversing and head left and
upstairs. On the fifth floor, go and talk to the two old ladies standing in the
middle of the room. The right one will give you the Cleanse Tag; the left one
shall hand over HM04, which teaches Strength. That done, exit the tower, and
head north outside to enter Solaceon Town.

	Not much important stuff to do in Solaceon Town; however, there IS the
Breeding Center in the upper left corner of the town. Visit here, and you can
drop your Pok�mon off to gain experience. For every step you take, a Pok�mon in
the daycare will gain one experience point. To take it out, however, you will
have to pay $100, plus costs incurred throughout the actual raising of the
Pok�mon. After you drop your first Pok�mon off, another person will also appear
in the Day Care who will give you the Day-Care Checker Application, which allows
you to view your Pok�mon and their levels at any time. You can also talk to a
man south and west of the Pok�mon Center to get a Pok�mon History Application,
which shows you information on the last sixteen Pok�mon you have caught.

	Now, you can once again continue on your journey, or you can take a side
stop to the Solaceon Ruins, a short dungeon east of town. Unlike the Lost Tower,
however, this one is totally optional; however, since it is so short a
sidesection, it will be put here, and not in the Optional section. If you do not
want to do this, then you can skip right ahead and go north onto Route 210.

wish to solve this puzzle on your own, ignore the next part of this paragraph.
Otherwise, head up the upper-right staircase. Talk to the kid in this room, and
he will leave the place. After, go down the staircases in each room in this
order - Lower left, Upper right, Upper left, Upper left, Lower left. In the
third room of the Ruins, you will also face off against Ruin Maniac Karl.

	Geodude, Geodude, Geodude...where have we fought this Pok�mon before?
Oh, right, only the last half dozen Hikers or so. Blast them down in one shot on
the opening round. Afterwards, you will come to one of D/P's new Pok�mon tanks,
Bronzor. Bronzor is a Psychic/Steel type, meaning that he is weak only to Fire
and Ground. To make things worse, he has two different Abilities: Heatproof
reduces the damage done to him by Fire attacks, whereas Levitate negates all
Ground attacks. Yeah. Bring in someone with a Fire attack and someone with a
Ground attack, and test to see which Ability he has. If you cannot take him down
with regular neutral-affinity attacks, then use the attribute attack he is weak
to.


	Finally, in the last room, you can claim the Mind Plate, Nugget, Rare
Candy and Odd Incense. You can also catch Unown in this room. Lastly, there is a
message on the plaque on the wall for you to read. That being done, head back to
Solaceon Town (you can use an Escape Rope to get out), and head north onto Route
210.

	You should come into this area with a Fighting-type on hand, simply
because of the sheer number of Normal-types that the Trainers are walking around
with, and the absolutely ridiculous ease with which they fall to a STABed
Fighting-attack. Anyways; because of the tall grasses in this area, you will not
be able to cross a patch while on your bike; instead, it will have to be by
foot. Start off by going to the upper right corner and grabbing some berries
from the dirt patch. If it's morning out, you can also head up the sandfall and
take on Jogger Wyatt, who is, well, jogging around.

 ____________
|Jogger Wyatt|
 ������������
	All Wyatt has is a Ponyta. Just bring in somebody with a STABed Water or
Rock-type attack and send him off running again.


 After that, start heading up the patch to the left to face off against Rancher
Marco.

 _____________
|Rancher Marco|
 �������������
	Do not bother worrying about Aipom's Baton Pass; because Tickle affects
you and not him, he cannot switch out and pass on any positive effects to the
next Pok�mon. However, you should still desire to take him out relatively
quickly because of Tickle, so bring in somebody with a Fighting-type attack to
finish him off in one or two hits.

	Girafarig is a bit more of trouble. Do not bother with somebody who uses
Double Team, nor bother trying to bring back down his Agility. Rather, focus on
the fact that all the attacks he knows are Stomp and Confusion; if you have a
pure-Ghost on hand such as Misdreavous, now is a VERY good time to bring it in,
as neither of them will be able to affect him at all. Failing that, bring
somebody in who knows Dark-attacks to inflict damage.

	Psyduck is reasonably more easier to eliminate, as you should have
somebody with you that knows either Grass or Electric attacks (if the former,
make sure it does not have a Poison subtype). You should watch out to make sure
your Pok�mon isn't someone who has only one attack, or else Psyduck might hit
you with Disable and screw you up for a few turns.


	After, head right and up until you get to a clear-cut section within the
grass patch. Head as far south as you can on plains, turn around, get onto your
bike, shift to second gear if you are not in it already, then pedal north and up
the sandfall. Quickly after you make it over, you shall face off the Twin Girls
Teri and Tia in a Double Battle.

 _________________________________
|Twin Teri and Tia (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������������
	Unfortunately, between Pikachu's Thunder Wave and Clefairy's Sing, you
will have an annoying set-up to face. This can become even worse if you become
idle and allow Clefairy to use Follow Me, which forces you to attack her,
combined with Defense Curl, increasing her Defense. As such, make sure Clefairy
is your primary target from the start, so you have a head start should she use
Follow Me. A Fighting-type move can work wonders, but any STABed attack will do.
After that, Pikachu shouldn't look so powerful when it wallows in opposition
against two of your own Pok�mon; even if both of them are paralyzed, the math
still will work out in your favour after.


	After winning, head left and north to take on Pok�mon Breeder Kahlil.

 ______________________
|Pok�mon Breeder Kahlil|
 ����������������������
	Ugh. Another annoying battle. However, if you note, Pichu, Kahlil's
opener, does not have any actual attacks. Just bring in a Ground Pok�mon to get
resistance to Thunder Wave, then knock it off (if not with a Ground attack, then
with something damage-neutral).

	When taking on Pikachu, if you had the aforementioned Ground Pok�mon,
use it again to get resistance to Thunder Wave and Thundershock. Failing that,
bring in someone who knows Miracle Eye or Foresight (usually a few Psychis and a
good number of Fighting-types respectively) to act as a counter should Pikachu
get out of hand with Double Team, and attack Pikachu the rest of the time.

	Once you have made it to Happiny, just bring somebody to pull off a one-
hit KO (it being weak to Fighting); I have not actually seen this Happiny use
its attack, so I assume that it is merely in the lineup to Confuse your Pok�mon
nonstop and steal your attacks, which, again, is annoying.


	Once done, head north a bit through the grass patch to pick up a
Pok�ball off the ground containing a Great Ball. Next, go back south, and head
down the sandfall. This time around, proceed right to face off against Belle and
Pa Ava and Matt in another Doubles battle.

 _________________________________________
|Belle and Pa Ava and Matt (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������
	If you have not seen the need for Fighting Pok�mon lately, you should
now. If not with ONE HIT, Glameow will fall in two hits to a STABed Fighting-
attack. That is reasonably decent, no matter how you put it. After, you will
have to take on another annoying Stunky, who this time comes complete with
SmokeScreen and Screech. If you have a Ground-type, you should counter it with a
Ground-attack. Failing that, bring in somebody who can coordinate well with your
Fighting type, then focus on Stunky after you are done with Glameow.


	Head south after you win the battle, going up the staircase. Go right,
then counterclockwise around the grass patch. Talk to the girl looking over the
plateau to receive TM51. Now head back to the Belle and Pa couple, and proceed
north to take on Pok�mon Breeder Amber.

 _____________________
|Pok�mon Breeder Amber|
 ���������������������
	Once again, the brigade of Normal Pok�mon strike. I do not really find
it worthwhile making up a strategy here; just bring out a Fighting-type Pok�mon
(or Ghost even, as NOBODY here has an attack that can hit Ghost-types) and
pummel them into the ground for some experience points fodder to collect your
money.


	Afterwards, continue on north into the nearby Cafe. Inside, you can talk
to the Waitress beind the counter to purchase Moomoo Milk for $500, which heals
your Pok�mon for 100 HP. Although you can order as much as you want to a limit
of 99, you can only get them one at a time (this makes them the same price as
that of a Super Potion, which only heals 60HP). Once done your purchases, talk
to the Waitress standing at the top to face off against Waitress Kati.

 _____________
|Waitress Kati|
 �������������
	Bring in a STABed Fighter, and s/he can finish Clefairy off in no time.
Failing that, bring in someone else with a neutral STAB attack to take it out in
two turns. Just make sure that you do not give Kati's Clefairy enough time to
become almost untouchable with Minimize (In this case, Follow Me and Defense
Curl should be useless).


	At the table with two people seated at it, talk to the person on the
right to take on Collector Edwin.

 _______________
|Collector Edwin|
 ���������������
	Collector Edwin has three identical Sudowoodo, each of which can utilize
some Rock and Fighting-type attacks. Since Sudowoodo is a pure Rock-type, you
could use the EXACT same set-up as you did with the endless horde of Hikers a
while back and their Geodudes to knock off the three Sudowoodo; any way you
choose, so long as you can defeat one, you can defeat the other two.


	Once done, talk to Edwin's accomplice, this time to take on Pok�mon
Collector Fernando.

 __________________
|Collector Fernando|
 ������������������
	Much like Edwin before him, Fernando utilizes a set-up of the same
Pok�mon. The levels and movesets vary a bit this time around, but not by much
(the first Mr. Mime is three levels lower than the other two, and uses Copycat,
a weaker form of Mimic in the sense of its use). As such, you can just bring in
somebody who can lord over Psychic-types and decimate Fernando's line-up within
minutes. This of course means the Ghost and Dark-types; however, if you wish,
you can also bring in any Bug-type that knows Fury Cutter. Since Fury Cutter is
a Bug-type move that increases in power each consecutive time it is used, Encore
will not really do any damage to your strategy, Copycat/Mimic will be pretty
useless, and if the Mr. Mimes try a Meditate/DoubleSlap combo, they will not
last long enough.


	Exit the Cafe after you are done. Since you cannot go north from the
Cafe thanks to the Psyducks, you will have to go straight east from here, onto
Route 215.

	Commentary: If you don't have a decent Psychic Pok�mon yet, now is a
good time to pick one up in the form of Kadabra, whom you can also evolve
quickly if you have a friend to trade Pok�mon with or Wi-Fi access (Kadabra
evolves to Alakazam by link trade). You will want a Psychic type for later at
the Veilstone City Gym, as well.

	At the start of the route, head east across the bridge, then north
across another bridge, down the staircase and around in a counterclockwise loop.
In doing so, you will face off against the first Trainer on Route 215, Ruin
Maniac Calvin.

 __________________
|Ruin Maniac Calvin|
 ������������������
	The first Pok�mon up for Calvin is Bronzor. Do not bother with the
litmus test as to see whether it is weak to Ground or Fire; instead, start out
with a Ground Pok�mon and attack. If it is weak to Ground attacks, go from
there. If not, do not bother switching to a Fire Pok�mon, as the rain will
reduce its attack power. Instead, switch to someone like a Dark or Ghost type
(remember that the Ghost should NOT have a Poison sub-type) to negate three of
Bronzor's four attacks, then pound it relentlessly.

	Shieldon is a lot easier to deal with. Even though he also has a Steel
subtype that reduces the damage of a lot of attacks, his Rock subtype is weak to
Water (which Steel does not affect), and Water should be something you have in
your arsenal. Also, no annoying abilities. Just watch out for his boatload of
stat-raising and lowering effects, and take him out quickly.


	Continue right, and pick up the Ether before proceeding right and down
again. If it is morning at the current moment, you can take on Jogger Craig who
is jogging around.

 ____________
|Jogger Craig|
 ������������
	A Rock/Ground type with attacks from both types could solve this battle
relatively quickly to the tune of Ground attacks for Luxio, Ground or Rock for
Ponyta, and Rock for Staravia. Failing that, bring somebody in who is neutral to
electricity and Dark attacks to deal with Luxio; your risk of paralysis is low
when compared to the Pichu's and Pikachu's of the route beforehand, so do not
worry too much about that. Instead, just go toe to toe with Luxio in a battle of
attrition.

	Ponyta is another with attacks that may seem basic compared to the hell
that you fought the route before. Since you should have a Water-type on hand,
use that to deal with it quickly. Even if you do not have Rock or Water, NOTHING
in Ponyta's arsenal should give it an edge over any elemental-neutral Pok�mon
you choose, so take one and give it your all.

	Staravia does not need to be talked about much, except for Endeavour;
the lower its HP is, the higher its attack is. That being the case, bring in
someone who is faster than it to strike first on the second turn and try and
take it out (hoping Staravia does not use Endeavour on its first turn) or just
bring in an Electric-type to clip its wings.


	At the top of the plateau, talk to the man standing next to the bridge
to obtain TM66. Now cross the bridge north, and then left, then go down onto the
ground again. Talk to the nearby trainer to take on Black Belt Derek.

 ________________
|Black Belt Derek|
 ����������������
	You will be glad to know that Croagunk, despite his bevy of Dark
attacks, still has a 4x weakness to Psychics because of his Fighting/Poison
subtypes. If you do not someone who knows a Psychic attack on hand, you can grab
a Kadabra from the grasses around here, who will come complete with Confusion.
After that, just attack Croagunk, and you will do 6x the normal amount of
damage, thanks to STAB and Croagunk's 4x weakness. He should not have enough
time to pull out any Dark moves (Kadabra should be quicker than Croagunk).


	If you have a Pok�mon with Cut in your party, head northeast from here
and cut down the tree. Continue right, and you will be automatically thrown into
battle with Black Belt Gregory.

 __________________
|Black Belt Gregory|
 ������������������
	This fight might look a bit difficult with all the new-sounding moves,
but do not worry. Feint and Detect do absolutely NOTHING except for delaying the
inevitable and interrupting consecutive moves. Aside from that, all attacks are
of the Psychic or Fighting type. Again, should you have a pure Ghost type on
hand, he will be VERY useful in this match, as he is virtually untouchable.
Failing that, since Meditite and Machop are both Fighting-type, bring in a
Flying-type to rape their defenses. Do not bother with using any evasiveness-
raising attacks, however; Machop's Foresight will negate all effects of moves
such as Double Team in one use.


	Pick up the Fist Plate from behind where Black Belt Gregory was
originally standing. Head back to Black Belt Derek, then head south across the
grass. Use Cut on the bush in the southeast corner to gain access to a couple of
berry bushes. Head up onto the platform and south across the bridge to grab a
Guard Spec.. Backtrack to the central platform and then go down north. Head east
and north (ignoring the Cut brush) to face off against Black Belt Nathaniel.

 ____________________
|Black Belt Nathaniel|
 ��������������������
	You can probably follow out with a Psychic-type again; so long as your
Pok�mon is faster than the Croagunk, you have no danger at all in being hit by
either Faint Attack or Pursuit (both Dark-type attacks, of which Psychics are
vulnerable to). Again, this is because you would basically get a 6x attack power
(Croagunk's 4x weakness to Psychic attacks, and 1.5x for STAB). You can use the
same Pok�mon for when you are facing Machop, as three Fighting-type attacks plus
Foresight are not going to faze a Psychic.

	Meditite will be annoying, but not difficult. Feint is useless for it if
you are not using Protect or Detect (although it will still use it a good number
of times). Detect allows it to evade an attack successfully, but when used
consecutively, can fail. Mind Reader will only ensure the next attack's hit, and
for a move like Hidden Power that hits most of the time, Meditite using Mind
Reader means it is only wasting its own time. As always, you can use a pure
Ghost-type to dodge all of Meditite's attacks. Lacking a pure Ghost, you can
just bring in a flier to hit Meditite's Fighting type.


	Continue on east. At the end in the northeast corner is a large patch of
grass. There is nothing useful here, but you can utilize it for training if you
want to cut down on the number of ninety degree angle turns you take while
biking. Of interest, however, are the two bushes that you can Cut in the center
of your path; this hides TM34, which teaches Shock Wave. After, continue down
south and west, then south and east to face off against the Ace Trainer Dennis
and Maya in a double battle.

 �������������������������������������������
	If you have one on your person, bring in a Buizel (complete with a Dark
attack and a Water attack) to demolish both Monferno and Kadabra. Failing that,
just start off with a Water-type, Psychic-type or Flying-type against Monferno
and somebody who can solve the issue of Glameow (if not a Fighting-type, then
Ghost-type or anything neutral can work for now), making sure to keep a Berry or
Awakening on hand should Glameow use Hypnosis. After your opponents bring out
their tougher Pok�mon, SWITCH IN FOR AN ELECTRIC-TYPE (if you don't have one out
already). Gyrados is Flying/Water. No matter how powerful his attack may be, he
still is nothing with his 4x weakness to electricity, and STAB can make it 6x.
After that, Kadabra is a sitting duck for a 2-on-1.


	Afterwards, continue on right (do not forget to pick up the Berries on
your way) through the checkpoint and into Veilstone City.

	A lot of stuff to do here. You will notice two Team Galactic Grunts at
the start of the city. Since you cannot do anything about them now, instead head
south and right and up the stairs to heal your Pok�mon up at the Pok�mon Center.
Back outside again, head west and go south through the narrow space between the
two ledges. On the opposite end, head west to the very end and go up the
staircases to the Gym. Talk to the Roughneck near the stairs to obtain TM63, and
enter the right house here. Talk to the jester inside to get a Coin Case (not
sure if you get it no matter which hand you choose). Head back out, then
continue up north. You will meet up with Lucas/Dawn here, who will then leave.
Afterwards, enter the Gym.

     �������������������������������������������������������������������������

	PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS: The Veilstone City Gym utilizes Fighting-types,
which are nothing to a good, decent Psychic-type (which, if you listened to my
directions a few routes back, should have one of by now). Where this Psychic is
Kadabra, it can also be very useful once it learns Reflect, as it manages to
half the damage taken from Physical attacks (something that most of the Pok�mon
here are keen on using, as opposed to Special attacks).

	However, since Psychic-types usually dominate much of the game anyways
(meaning you will get lots of experience elsewhere for your Psychics), and
because there are plenty of Meditites and heavy-hitting Fighters that can still
take a Psychic out in one turn with a lucky-placed Revenge (move that increases
in power as the user's HP decreases), you should also consider some other
Pok�mon. Good ones to bring in are anything of the Flying-type (which can also
injure Fighting-types, and get around the Psychic-subtypes of those pesky
Meditites), and Ghosts (Fighting attacks cannot touch them). With regards to
Ghosts; if using a pure-Ghost such as Misdreavous, then Psychic attacks only do
a normal amount of damage to him, and cannot be touched by Fighters. However, if
using something that has another type, such as Haunter with Poison, Psychic-
types may actually end up injuring you (Poison is weak to Psychic). Others, such
as Shedinja, can also be injured by Fighters due to their Bug-types.

	From the lower left corner to the lower right corner to the center
middle in a counterclockwise formation, each cubicle contains, in that order,
Black Belt Darren, Black Belt Jeffery, Black Belt Rafael, and Black Belt Colby.

 _________________
|Black Belt Darren|
 �����������������
	This is a pretty good battle to get some levelling up done for anybody
who majorly needs it (especially any Ghosts in the crowd), as all three of the
Machop-line rely exclusively on Foresight and Fighting-type moves. Foresight
stops any gains that you get from evasiveness-raising moves such as Double Team,
so do not bother using it right now. Instead, take control of the situation by
constantly attacking with moves they are weak to, and making sure to utilize
Pok�mon who are resistant to the Fighting-type attacks. Again, if you have any
Ghosts in the crowd, now is a good time to level them up if need be, as they
cannot be touched.

 __________________
|Black Belt Jeffery|
 ������������������
	Starting out with anything resistant to Fighting is a good idea, again,
thanks to Machoke only knowing Fighting-type attacks. Even though Vital Throw
might sound a bit scary, it really does not do much damage, and because it is an
attack-last move, you may be able to wipe him out before he even obtains the
chance to use it.

	Meditite poses more of a threat; Calm Mind raises both his Special
Attack and Defense here, with Hidden Power being a Special move. However, Detect
does nothing (stops you from attacking the same turn he uses it, but he also
wastes a turn), and Mind Reader is also a waste of time (ensures his hit goes
through the next turn - since you are not likely using a Double Teamer because
of all the Foresight in this gym, it is also useless). Try for a quick blow, and
if he begins to spam Calm Mind, switch to somebody with a high Special Defense
and use Physical attacks.

 _________________
|Black Belt Rafael|
 �����������������
	Meditite makes the jump from a Special-oriented Pok�mon to a Physical-
oriented in this battle, as it utilizes Meditate to raise Physical attack and
Force Palm, a Fighting-type attack which can cause paralysis. Bring in a
Misdreavous if you have one. Otherwise, put in anybody that can resist the
Fighting-attribute of Force Palm or otherwise negate it (Gastly line will not
work because of Confusion), then send Meditite reeling.

 ________________
|Black Belt Colby|
 ����������������
	With everyone having Leer, Revenge, and Foresight, you may realize that
this could be a difficult fight to get through. To get through this fight, you
will have to utilize Pok�mon that can achieve one-hit KOs on each Machoke so as
to not feel the adverse effects of Revenge (its power increases the lower the
user's HP is), and once again, you are stuck being unable to use Double Team.
DEFINITELY bring in somebody who has a lot of Physical defense to withstand
multiple uses of Leer, and has a sufficient enough Attack/Special Attack along
with a powerful attack go with it to try and fell each Machoke with a single
hit. At the same time, however, these Machokes are a joke if you just bring in a
Ghost-type Pok�mon; not one hit will ever affect you.


	To reach the Gym Leader, you have to push the yellow panels on either
side of the Gym so that you have a clear path to him. Below details a way on how
to do so; you need to solve separate puzzles on either side of the Gym.

RIGHT SIDE
----------
	First, go into the lower-right cubicle, and push the yellow panel in
here towards the right. Move north into the upper right cubicle, and push the
first yellow panel right. Head back out onto the regular wooden floor via the
lower right cubicle, then walk around to the northeast corner and push the panel
here left towards the pot. Head in between the pathways between the center and
right cubicles, and push both panels here right. Go back to the far right side
and push the southern of the two yellow paenls you just pushed back.

	So far, it should look like this;

      Y Y
      _S_
     |   |		Y = Yellow Panel
     |   Y		S = Stairs
     | __|  YY
      S	                If this is how your current setup looks, then all you
   YYY Y                have to do is cross the two cubicles and then push the
      S__               yellow panel that is right above the upper center space.
     |   |
     |   |  YY
     |__ |
        S

LEFT SIDE
---------
	Head into the lower-center cubicle, and push the first yellow panel
here. Continue up the stairs so you're on the strip of floor between lower and
upper center. Head left and push the yellow panel towards a pot, then head north
and push the last yellow panel left. Now head to the very bottom of the gym, and
go up between the lower left and lower center cubicles, and push the yellow
panel blocking off the northern stairs of the lower-left cubicle towards the
left. Head around to the left side of the gym and push the very southern-most
yellow panel back to the right, then head north and push the northern-most panel
right. After that is over, cross the two left cubicles and push the yellow panel
at the end right.

	Once you have pushed both panels north of the upper-center cubicle, go
through the two center cubicles to challenge Gym Leader Maylene.

 __________________
|Gym Leader Maylene|
 ������������������
	A Flier or pure Ghost-type will have to open the battle for your side;
Meditite's Psychic/Fighting subtype means you cannot hit it with your own
Psychic type. You should also notice that Maylene's Meditite uses a new move
that Meditites have not utilized before: Drain Punch. This is a Fighting-type
attack that drains half the damage done to you and sends it back to the user.
Obviously, if you can resist or negate Drain Punch, a great boon will be done to
your side. However, you will also wish to finish Meditite off very quickly to
avoid it spamming Meditate.

	Machoke is a much more dangerous opponent. Not only can he wear down
Physical resistance with Leer and stop Double Team, but Brick Break can break
through any barriers that you put up (such as Reflect), and Rock Tomb is a
powerful Rock-type attack that also reduces Speed (meaning bye-bye Flying-types
and no innate ability to avoid attacks for Ghosts). You will have to bring in a
Psychic-type or somebody who's type-neutral to Machoke so that he cannot score a
major hit. Should you have listened and picked up a Psychic-type earlier (if not
already having obtained one), you can deal a couple of powerful knockout blows
with Psychic-type attacks (especially since Machoke does not use Revenge, which
could be fatal for you). Otherwise, fight Machoke to a standstill in a war of
attrition with some of your own stat-lowering attacks.

	Lucario, Maylene's final Pok�mon, is of course her trump card.
Surprisingly, Flying-types or Ghost-types may be more useful than Psychic-types
here. Bone Rush is a Ground-type attack, and as such cannot harm either Flying-
types or many Ghost-types (most of who have the Levitate ability, which
completely stops any Ground-attack from working on them). Drain Punch and Force
Palm both are 0.5x against Flying-types and useless against Ghost-types. Only
Metal Claw can pose a real threat against either of them, as not only does it
combine with a very high Attack stat from Lucario, but it can also raise
Lucario's Attack at random. At the same time, with nothing such as Foresight or
Mind Reader to his name, you can also spam Double Team on him. The only problem
is that Lucario is a Fighting/Steel type - Fighting and Ghost-type attacks will
not work too well on him. You may choose to use a Fighter of your own on him
(Fire-types will be hurt by Bone Rush, while you likely do not have any Ground-
types at this point in time that are not also Rock-types) to do battle, or you
could wear him down with various stat-moves from your Flying/Ghost types before
finally putting him away for good.


	After the battle, you shall obtain the Cobble Badge, which allows you to
use Fly, and TM60, which teaches Drain Punch. Exit back out into Veilstone City.

	Outside, you shall run into Lucas/Dawn again, whom will inform you that
Team Galaxy has stolen her Pok�dex. Heal up at the Pok�mon Center, then go to
meet her at the Galactic Warehouse, which is in the northwest section of town
(from where you entered from Route 215). Talk to Lucas/Dawn to face off against
Team Galaxy in a double battle.

 ___________________________
|Team Galaxy (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������

	Start out with something like Fire, Flying, or Rock, as both Beautifly
and Dustox are Bug-types, and weak to those three types of attacks (Beautifly
being 4x weak to Rock-attacks). Your assistance in this fight is a Clefairy who
knows DoubleSlap, Metronome, and Sing. While DoubleSlap is fairly useless,
Metronome can be helpful if luck is on your side, and Sing can always put
somebody to sleep for a couple of turns. For now, though, focus on eliminating
one of the two Bugs, then the other Bug the next turn.

	After both of the Bugs are down, switch your current Pok�mon out for
something else; recommended is Psychic (if it knows Miracle Eye so it can attack
Stunky and do 4x damage to Croagunk), Flying (2x damage against Croagunk and
neutral damage against Stunky), or anybody that knows a Ground attack (both
Stunky and Croagunk are Poison, and take 2x damage from it). Croagunk should
definitely be the first to go, so it doesn't hit you with Swagger, which will
confuse you for a few turns. Afterwards, turn your eye to Stunky, use Antidote
if needed on your own Pok�mon, then fight and defeat Stunky.


	After you win, enter the warehouse that the two Galactic Grunts run
into. Although you cannot advance inside, you can pick up the Pok�ball lying on
the ground for HM02, which teaches Fly (a useful HM, as it allows you to fly to
any town or city you've been to previously). Exit out, recover up at the Pok�mon
Center, then head back to Hearthome City either by foot or by Flying there. From
there, head south to Route 212.

	Head straight south from the entrance to Route 212 to face off against
Policeman Bobby (it needs to be nighttime for this to occur, which is after 6PM
and before 6AM; if you were on Route 212 when it turned to nighttime, you need
to exit the route and reenter).

 _______________
|Policeman Bobby|
 ���������������
	Rock or Electric; it does not even need to be said. Foresight is
useless, Reflect will not do much against super-effective attacks, and Peck will
not be very effective. The only thing that can be a slight threat is Hypnosis,
which, if you fall asleep from, allows Hoothoot free reign for a couple of turns
to attack. However, since it is also unevolved and underleveled compared to what
your levels currently should be, it should fall in one hit to any Electric or
Rock-type attack.

	Machop may be a little more difficult, but it honestly should not be too
much so. Having just come off the last gym in Veilstone City, you should still
be using somebody that should be able to reasonably kick the crap out of him; as
always, any Flying-type, Ghost-type, or Psychic-type will be sufficient in
taking him down.


	Continue left and down to take on another officer who is walking around,
Policeman Alex.

 ______________
|Policeman Alex|
 ��������������
	This is the exact same fight as above; the exact same Pok�mon, the exact
same movesets, the exact same levels, and so on. As such, you should also
duplicate and utilize the exact same strategy to defeat Policeman Alex's
Hoothoot and Machop.


	Head down and right to take on another policeman, who is on a shorter
but more intense patrol range.

 _______________
|Policeman Dylan|
 ���������������
	Hoothoot stays a constant in this battle. However, Dylan trades out a
Machop for a Meditite. On the other hand, it does not change much; whilst it has
a Psychic-subtype and can use Confusion/Hidden Power, this only affects Psychic-
types and the Gastly-line. Ghosts with no innate weakness to Psychic attacks and
Flying-types can still pound away at Meditite's Fighting subtype.


	Proceed directly south and talk to the lady standing right next to the
bush.

 _______________
|Socialite Reina|
 ���������������
	While a nice try is made here at an effective battle, it simply does not
work. All Roselia utilizes is Grass-attacks along with Stun Spore. It does not
have any special counters, no flash attacks or ace-in-the-hole attacks. It just
simply is walking prey for any Flying, Fire, or Psychic types you have on hand.


	After the battle, talk to the guy standing to the left of Madam Yoshino
to take on Gentleman Jeremy.

 ________________
|Gentleman Jeremy|
 ����������������
	Chatot is not too difficult of a battle either. Its stats are pretty
meager, and as a Normal/Flying type, any Rock-type or Electric-type that you
have on hand can go a pretty quick way to defeating it. Just beware of Sing, or
it can trap you for a few annoying turns.


	Continue straight down until you hit water, then go left and use Cut on
the brush here to expose a Pok�ball containing TM11. Follow along the coast of
the water until you get to a sign at the bottom, and pick up the Elixir hiding
behind the sign. Now go back up onto the path, then head right and up into a
large campus. Take on the last officer here, who is patrolling left and right.

 _______________
|Policeman Caleb|
 ���������������
	This is the same fight as with Policeman Dylan awhile back, so strain
your mind to remember that battle and use the same strategy as before.


	Proceed on past going north, and when you see the couple talking to each
other, talk to the boy on the left side to get into a face off with Rich Boy
Jason.

 ��������������
	If you have anybody with a Ground subtype and/or Ground-type attack,
bring him in to negate Spark and/or hit Luxio with an attack it is weak to.
Failing that, just bring in somebody who is getting on the underleveled side
that is not weak to Electric or Dark attacks, and get some experience off of
Luxio.


	Talk to Jason's companion, Lady Melissa, to duel her as well.

	Buneary here is very much weak. Endure and Foresight are relatively
useless in this battle, and Frustration will not inflict much damage. Quick
Attack is Buneary's only worthwhile attack, and even that should not do much
against it. If you have a Fighting-type or Ghost-type on hand, you can use it to
either destroy it in one attack or avoid all of its hits, but even without, you
should have no problem in this battle.


	After the battle, continue on north and into the Pok�mon Mansion.

	From where the rain starts, head south and west through the puddles of
water to take on the Pok�mon Rangers Allison and Jeffrey in a double battle.

 ___________________________________
|Pok�mon Rangers Allison and Jeffrey|
 �����������������������������������
	You definitely need AT LEAST ONE Electric type or Grass type. If
possible, two of them. This is because three out of four Pok�mon on the
Rangers' team is Water-type. If you can only muster one of the two, then grab
somebody neutral to Steel, Water, and Flying-type attacks to take on Aipom and
provide backup. Throughout the regular battle, make the Prinplups your primary
target (particularly if you are using a Grass-type, as they are weak to Peck)
and ignore Aipom (even if it uses Baton Pass to switch out for Marill). Once
both Prinplups are done for, you can work on attacking Aipom/Marill, then the
other Pok�mon.


	Head left and south from the duo to take on your next opponent, the
Scientist Stefano.

 _________________
|Scientist Stefano|
 �����������������
	Anything that's Bug, Dark, or Ghost (and doesn't have a Poison subtype
to it to fall at the hands of the merciless Confusion) should work for this
battle. Special care should also be made to make sure that you do not bring in
somebody who has a Flying-type (so no Murkrow for Diamond players), as Kadabra
also has Ice Punch, which can be a fatal hit if you do. But again, other than
that, even lacking any of those three, most of the Pok�mon you have on hand
should be far above Kadabra in terms of level, so take it to him.


	Take your claim of the nearby Antidote lying in a Pok�ball afterwards,
then head east and north to run smack dab into another policeman, this time
Policeman Danny.

 _______________
|Policeman Danny|
 ���������������
	This is basically, again, the same Pok�mon and moveset (just a few
levels higher) as those that Policemen Bobby and Alex used one route back. As
such, you should once again take out the same strategy you used against those
two to put a hole in Danny's line-up and win another battle.


	Continue along the path, going around the water puddles clockwise should
you wish to dodge the enemies. Continue south and east, and then move down again
to take on the Collector Dominique.

 ___________________
|Collector Dominique|
 �������������������
	These guys are basically the same run of the line Geodudes as you've
always faced, with some Ground and Rock-type attacks up their sleeves. The only
difference is that some of them know Self-Destruct, which is a very powerful
suicide attack that automatically KOs the user, but also inflicts massive damage
to its opponent. As such, try to bring in somebody who can finish off the
Geodudes quickly (Water or Grass both can do 4x damage) before they get wiped
out by Self-Destruct.


	Head up the staircase to the north. While on your bicycle, you can trael
across the ropes that are stretched across the land (do not worry, as you are
unable to fall off). Take the rope going right to claim TM62. That done, head
onto the pier nearby and talk to the first fisherman you see to fight Fisherman
Travis.

 ________________
|Fisherman Travis|
 ����������������
	This might look like an easy battle, except for one small problem; that
being that the three Barboach are Water/Ground type, meaning that Electricity
will not work on them. However, if you have a Grass-type on hand (this may be a
bit hard, considering that you have not used Grass-types very often lately),
then they have a 4x weakness to Grass. You can use any Grass attack you want for
the first bit, but once Amnesia kicks in, you should switch to Physical attacks
such as Razor Leaf. You could also bring in a Flying-type Pok�mon to attack
Barboach's Ground subtype.

	When it comes to Shellos, though, it is a bit easier. You can use either
Grass or Electricity to win with only a slight discomfort in your proceedings.


	Head up, and, at the next intersection, continue north to fight the next
Fisherman.

 _________________
|Fisherman Cameron|
 �����������������
	I would recommend you starting off with somebody very powerful to take
Goldeen out in one blow; Goldeen has both Supersonic and Water Pulse up its
sleeves, which it may use to annoy you by causing confusion on the first turn
(never mind that it is surprisingly fast). Therefore, get it out of the way
first before confusion becomes a liability.

	Afterwards, you will take on another Barboach with the same move set as
in Fisherman Travis' lineup. Just bring in a Grass-type or Flying-type as in
before to wipe the floor with the Barboach.


	Finally, head right and take on the last of the three Fishermen on Route
212, Fisherman Juan.

 ______________
|Fisherman Juan|
 ��������������
	Stop for a moment. Despite all his powerful-sounding attacks, Gyrados
has two problems that make him pitiful. First, as a Flying/Water type, it has a
4x weakness to any Electric-attacks (6x when the Electric-attack gains a STAB
bonus). Secondly, it does not have nearly enough speed to strike first against
an Electric Pok�mon. Do you see where I am going with this?


	Continue along the bridge, and on the opposite side, you will run into
Parasol Lady Alexa standing next to a house.

 __________________
|Parasol Lady Alexa|
 ������������������
	The first part of the fight with a Goldeen is basically the same as your
earlier fight with Fisherman Cameron; finish it off quickly to ensure you are
not confused by its Supersonic or Water Pulse.

	After that, however, Buizel is not really much of a threat. Water
attack, Dark Attack, and two Normal attacks (Quick Attack hitting first and
Swift never missing) do not really add any depth to Buizel, and without any
special effects, the battle is sort of meh. Just bring in anybody who isn't weak
to Dark or Water and a bit underleveled to get some experience out of Buizel.


	After the battle, head south, and you will drop down into a swamp. To
make your way through, you have to go straight east. In doing so, you will
slowly sink into the mud with each passing second. To make your way out, you
shall be required to pound the directional buttons for a few moments to make
your way out of the mud. After that, you can continue on as normal.

	Once you make it over to the opposite side and land again, head straight
south to grab TM06, and then continue on your journey east along the dirt path.
In doing so, you may then take on Pok�mon Ranger Taylor.

 _____________________
|Pok�mon Ranger Taylor|
 ���������������������
	If you have somebody with a Ground attack, bring him in to start the
battle with Luxio. If you do not, then just bring somebody in neutral to Dark
and Electric attacks to fight Luxio. He really does not have much of a bite, so
the first part of the fight should be relatively easy. Even after, the battle
with Buizel is basically a repeat of the last fight with Parasol Lady Alexa, so
utilize the same strategy as before to take it on. This is just one of those
battles that is really tame and you can use for levelling up.


	Continue right until you are directly underneath the rope overhead. Move
north and you will continue up a secret path concealed by the rope. At the end,
turn right to open a Pok�ball on the ground for a Revive, then head back to the
main section of the road. Head right and down to use Cut on some bushes, then
head left up the staircases. Hop onto your bike again if not on it already, and
cross the tightrope. On the opposite side, head down left and use Cut on some
more bushes. Head up to get an X Special from a Pok�ball lying on the ground,
then proceed left to fight Scientist Shaun.

 _______________
|Scientist Shaun|
 ���������������
	Anyone with Dark or Ghost-type attacks can settle this match pretty
easily. Abra's only attack is Hidden Power, and obviously, it'll be of the
Psychic-type. Kadabra can be a stronger foe, but so long as you don't neglect to
have at least two attacks on your Pok�mon and can resist or take neutral damage
from ThunderPunch and Confusion, you should not have a problem with damage
retaliation. Just make sure to watch out for Kadabra's Kinesis at the same time;
this attack, unique to wild Kadabra, can reduce your accuracy, so make sure not
to get blasted too many times (if you do, just switch your Pok�mon out for a
different one).


	After, continue left some more to take on Parasol Lady Sabrina.

 ____________________
|Parasol Lady Sabrina|
 ��������������������
	Aaaand, we end off Route 212 with a relatively easy fight against a
Psyduck. Psyduck is pure Water-type, so you can bring in Electric or Grass to
fight off Psyduck. Just be sure in the latter case that you do not have a Grass
sub-type; Psyduck also knows Confusion, which can be a pain for Grass/Poison
types.


	Pick up a Zinc nearby, then backtrack all the way to where the berry
patch was before the first pair of Cut bushes. Push on right, north and right
into Pastoria City.

     ��������������������������������������������������������������������
	A couple of notes here; if you want to grab HM05 now, head into the
actual Great Marsh and talk to the lady near the entrance to obtain it (just pay
for a single trip, talk to the lady, then go back into the entrance building to
quit). You can also talk to the man inside the house near the pond in Pastoria
to teach your Pok�mon a move that it would have naturally learned by Level-Up;
this does, however, come at the price of a single Heart Scale.

	After you have completed these minor steps, however, go and heal your
Pok�mon up after the Pok�mon Center. It is time to conquer the Pastoria City
Gym.

     ��������������������������������������������������������������

	Yay for another puzzle; this time, it consists of raising and lowering
water levels. The gym itself has three floors for the water to rise and fall to,
which I will deem with the 1st floor being the very bottom, and the 3rd floor
being the very top. Three kinds of colour buttons control the water level;
should you step on a yellow button, the water levels will drain to the very
bottom; green buttons will cause the water to raise to the middle floor; red
buttons will raise the water to the top floor.

	To start off, walk down the stairs at the entrance of the gym, then head
as north as you possibly can. Turn left and then south to go up a floor, and
press the yellow button. Head right, and you should face off against your first
opponent of the gym; Tuber Jacky.

	Your first battle comes against a lone Buizel. There is nothing truly
new about it, except for SonicBoom; SonicBoom is a Normal attack that always
causes 20 damage. As such, there is not really any point in using moves to
weaken Buizel's Attack or increase your own Defense (not that there really was
any point in the first place, given that this is a one-Pok�mon battle), so just
attack as always with Grass or Electric attacks to hit Buizel's Water-type.


	Head down the right stairs this time to the bottom floor (ignoring the
green button in the process), then walk straight and north until you go up onto
the third floor. At the top, take on Fisherman Walter.

	This Barboach battle is basically the same thing as all the Barboach
trainers you fought on Route 212, down to the same moveset; the only difference
is level, and you should be able to more than accomodate for that. As always,
avoid using Electric-type attacks because of it's Ground subtype; you should
instead use Grass-type attacks to inflict 4x damage (6x with STAB) or bring in a
Flying-type to attack it's Ground subtype.


	Once done the battle, press the nearby Green button, then head down a
floor. Continue clockwise from here until you make it to the third floor again,
then take on Sailor Damian.

	Do not worry too much about this battle. Even if both Wingulls decide to
spam Water Pulse in hoping to try and confuse you, they are both Water/Flying
types; just like Gyrados, they have a 4x weakness to Electric attacks. The
problem for them is that they have an even weaker defense than Gyrados, so one
Electric-attack each should take them out and put away any unease over this
battle.


	Press the blue button nearby to raise the water to the third level. Head
right from here a couple of bridges to fight your next opponent, Tuber Caitlyn
(having fought Tuber Jacky earlier).

	Although Azurill and Marill are fairly new Pok�mon that you have not
fought before, they are not that difficult to take on. Azurill will rely on Slam
a lot to try and achive some critical hits (along with using Charm to confuse
you), but so long as you bring in somebody with some heavy defense or a quick
one-hit knockout attack, it should not be too difficult.

	Marill is a step-up in the difficulty rating, as it will likely start
off with Aqua Ring, which allows it to recover HP every turn. This, coupled with
Defense Curl and higher stats thanks to being Azurill's evolution, may be too
much to fight with using a conventional, neutral-type Pok�mon. However, if you
are just blowing through with Electric or Grass-types, Marill should not be a
problem either.


	Proceed north from here and talk to the Fisherman looking over the water
to take on Fisherman Erick.

 _______________
|Fisherman Erick|
 ���������������
	Goldeen and Barboach you have fought before. Just be sure to watch out
for Goldeen's Peck, as Grass Pok�mon are weak to it. When you come to Gyrados,
remember this; Water and Flying are its subtypes. As always, Gyrados will be 4x
weak to Electricity, so take it away.

	At the end of the line, press the green button. Head down the southern
stairs to your right, and head straight south to push the yellow button at the
very end (do not push the one to your left, or else you will have to re-push a
green button to get out). Head north from your current position, going up to the
third floor again, then going down two sets of stairs to the bottom floor. Head
around the lower hallway of the upper section of the gym in a counterclockwise
movement, then head up the stairs at the left side. You should end up taking
your last regular opponent here in Sailor Samson.

 _____________
|Sailor Samson|
 �������������
	There is nothing new here that you have not fought before. Per-se the
usual, you can just god-mode and kill the Shellos with Electric-type or Grass-
type Pok�mon, and clip Wingull's wings with a double dose of Electricity.


	Press the blue button north of Samson, then head right across the bridge
and then up to take on the Gym Leader, Crasher Wake.

 _______________
|Gym Leader Wake|
 ���������������
	Wake will open up with a powerful Gyrados. The most likely strategy of
Gyrados will be to use Swagger to confuse your own Pok�mon, and then utilize
Dragon Rage, an attack that always causes 40 Damage (and if you haven't figured
it out yet; thanks to Swagger, if you attack yourself in confusion, that's just
more damage to you). This can drop most Pok�mon dead in two turns, if not one.
Your best solution is, obviously, to bring in a REALLY QUICK Electric-type
Pok�mon to blast the hell out of Gyrados' Flying/Water type with an Electric-
attack of your own (4x weakness to Electricity plus your own 1.5x STAB leads to
6x the regular amount of damage) and bring him down in one turn. Alternative
things that you can do is just poison or confuse Gyrados and let the status
effect do some of the work for you, while bringing in a high defense-Pok�mon.

	Quagsire is a lot easier. It doesn't have anything special or any uber-
attacks that can drastically reduce your ability to fight. If you just bring in
a fairly strong Grass Pok�mon (Quagsire having 4x weakness to Grass attacks),
you should be fine in battling it. Even a Flying-type Pok�mon should be
sufficient in weakening and defeating it.

	When facing off against Floatzel, it is my recommendation that you do
not start off with any of your Grass or Electrics. Instead, start off with your
other Pok�mon, and use moves that can decrease Floatzel's attack, defense,
speed, etc. and/or cause adverse effects to him (Paralysis works really well).
At the same time, use Super Potions/Moomoo Milk to heal up your ace-in-the-
holes. After they are the only ones left, you should try to finish it off with
your Electric-type; Floatzel knows Ice Fang, an Ice-type attack, which Grass-
types are weak to. Also make sure to keep your HP above half, because once it
drops below that, Floatzel can use Brine, a Water-type attack that increases in
power when your HP is less than 1/2 of its total. However, if you wore down his
stats earlier, then Floatzel should not be too difficult to defeat.



	After, you will get both the Fen Badge and TM55. Now head south a couple
of bridges and push the yellow button. Go down to the bottom floor, left and
down up the staircase, and push the green button. Go around the room
counterclockwise to exit now.

	Outside, head off to the Pok�mon Center and heal up. Head east from the
Center to the entrance to the Great Marsh, and talk to the Galactic Grunt who is
hanging near here to eavesdrop on his conversation. He will run away shortly
after. Follow him right and talk to him. As he runs away, your Rival will
approach from behind, and you will be thrown into another battle.

 _____
|Rival|
 �����
	The first part of the battle is pretty pitiful. Note that Starly is at
Level 26 and still unevolved. Basically ANYTHING (supposing that it is not weak
to Aerial Attack, another Flying-type attack) can take out Starly, so long as
you are either up to level with it or utilize a STAB-attack.

	Going up against Roselia/Grotle, you can probably get away with a
Flying-type or Fire-type, as neither of them have any attacks that can do a real
significant amount of damage sans Grotle's Bite (which it rarely uses unless in
the case of a type-advantage). The only thing to really watch out for is
Roselia's Leech Seed; if you get hit in, fight on until you are done the current
battle with her, but then switch out for somebody else.

	Buizel should not be a really difficult Pok�mon. Having just come off a
Water Gym, particularly one with a couple of Buizel in it, you should have an
Electric or Grass type on hand to wipe it out in a few turns. Prinplup may be a
bit more difficult than Buizel should he decide to use Peck (a Flying-type
attack) on your Grass Pok�mon, but so long as you have a decent amount of HP
and/or Defense (and STAB), you should be able to outlast your Rival's Prinplup.

	Monferno/Ponyta might provide the greatest challenge to you (unless, in
Monferno's case, you have a Flying-type in reserve). However, so long as you
think beforehand to bring in a Water-type Pok�mon, there really is no contest;
Ember and Flame Wheel each will barely faze your own Pok�mon, and Mach Punch
will not do much damage beside.


	Afterwards, your Rival will head off after the Galactic Grunt. Heal up
again at the Pok�mon Center, then head out east as well through the checkpoint,
and onto Route 213.

	There is a LOT of Water Pok�mon on this route; so much that everything
you will encounter by conventional means is pure Water. Gym 7 is a Ground/Rock
gym along with bits of Steel here and there. Capturing some Water-types now will
give you an opportunity to prepare for it. Anyways...

	Start off by going straight east from the exit to Route 213 (you can
pick up the berries from the dirt patch to the north on your way). Once you make
it past the Grass patch, continue to the far east rock wall. Head straight south
from here, bypassing the person in overalls (he isn't a Trainer). You can use
Rock Smash to access TM 40 while at the southeast corner; otherwise, continue on
straight west to take on the first trainer of Route 213, Beauty Cyndy.

	If you have a Fighting-type on hand, then goodbye Glameow. If you do not
have a Fighting type, then bring in somebody who's not vulnerable to Dark-type
attacks and has a fairly strong STAB attack to take on Glameow. As always, make
sure that you watch out for Glameow's Hypnosis, should it put you to sleep.


	Afterwards, head straight south to the far shore. Talk to the fisherman
standing at the end of the beach to take on Fisherman Kenneth.

 _________________
|Fisherman Kenneth|
 �����������������
	Kenneth's starting Pok�mon, a Magikarp, is basically experience fodder,
even if this time around it DOES have Tackle nowalong with Splash. Remoraid
after that you can target with ease; Lock-on basically ensures that its next
move hits, and is fairly useless, especially if you still have on hand somebody
from Pastoria City Gym to destroy it (Remoraid being a pure Water-type) in a
single turn.

	Gyrados, of course, once a Flying/Water type, always a Flying/Water
type. Put it out of its misery with an Electric-type attack and call it a
battle.


	Head north and right from the Fisherman, and talk to the Galactic Grunt
standing on the shoreline for him to run off again. Continue on, and you should
run into a Tuber, who is walking around in the sand, for another battle.

 ___________
|Tuber Jared|
 �����������
	Considering that you just came off a Gym Battle with lots of Water
Pok�mon, including some Shellos, you should have somebody on hand along with a
strategy for taking down Water Pok�mon such as Shellos. The only thing you
should watch for here is the increasingly annoying Water Pulse and its ability
to cause confusion to the Pok�mon being hit by it.


	Continue on short north to take on Tuber Chelsea.

 _____________
|Tuber Chelsea|
 �������������
	This is likely the first time that you have actually faced off against
Bibarel, the evolved form of Bidoof in a Trainer battle. As such, note that even
if you do not have a Fighting-type on hand, that Bibarel is a Normal/Water type.
As such, you can once again bring in a Grass or Electric-type to pummel Bibarel.
The best part is that Bibarel does not even have any attacks that can seriously
damage any of your own Pok�mon, and just like Bidoof, Bibarel only offers meager
stats to try and take you on with.


	Head up north, and pick up a Red Shard from the Pok�ball on the ground
next to the Hotel. Enter the Hotel itself. Inside, you can talk to the Hotel
owner (at the counter) and answer yes to get your Pok�mon healed up. Afterwards,
exit outside again through the northern exit. Head up the stairs to the left and
go into the left house. In here, head to the upper-left corner and talk to the
clown to receive TM92. Exit, and continue along the dirt-trodden path per se the
usual. Continue north and (despite changing areas), head left up another
staircase. Go west some more and then south from the pool, and pick up a PP Up
lying between the flowers. Head back a ways and into the Lake Valour area.

	Head north into the restaurant (Closed after 11PM). Inside, you can
fight a number of double teams, all of which give off good amounts of money.
Each table is full at certain times of the day. As such, I will list at which
table each duo is.

	At the bottom right table, face off against Scientist Emilio and Pok�mon
Breeder Kaylee.
 ___________________________________________________________
|Scientist Emilio and Pok�mon Breeder Kaylee (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������������������������
	If you can bring a Dark or non-Poison Ghost type into the battle, that
would be very good to have, (especially Ghost since Stunky does not know any
Dark-type attacks); an Electric or Grass-type backup to have would also be nice,
but not required. That being said, your first target should be Kadabra. Any
status effects caused by Stunky from Screech or Smokescreen or Toxic should be
offset by the fact that with Kadabra down, your opponents can only have one
Pok�mon out at a time.

	With Kadabra down, turn your attentions to Stunky. Do not be afraid to
switch out a Pok�mon who has negative status effects so as to negate them (with
the exception of Toxic). Without too much frustration, you should be able to
take down Stunky, especially as he is tame without any actual strong attack.
Following that, make precautions you do not have anybody weak to Water or Dark
attacks when Buizel comes out on the field, and you should be able to walk away
the victor.


	At the right table in the third row of tables from the door, you can
take on School Kid Esteban and Pok�mon Fan Meredith.
 ___________________________________________________________
|School Kid Esteban and Pok�mon Fan Meredith (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������������������������
	Any combination of Grass, Flying, and Fighting-types can work fairly
well here (preferably at least one of you Grass-types); the Grass type being, as
once again, you will wish to take out the Trainer who has only oe Pok�mon first.
In this case, that happens to be School Kid Esteban and his Wooper, who has a
Water/Ground subtype, making it 4x weak to Grass and 2x weak to Flying. Ignore
the Marill for the first part, then once Wooper falls, turn your attention to
Marill. There really is no surprise in this battle; it just falls into another
fight of utilizing common sense to finish your enemies off before they finish
you.


	In the upper right corner, take on the Gentleman Leonardo and Socialite
Rebecca.
 ________________________________________________________
|Gentleman Leonardo and Socialite Rebecca (Double Battle)|
 ��������������������������������������������������������


	You can also take on Artist Ismael and Beauty Harley in the upper-left
corner of the restaurant.
 _______________________________________________
|Artist Ismael and Beauty Harley (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������������
	Come into this fight with a Grass or Electric-type raring to go and take
out Psyduck. It does not matter what Pok�mon you choose for your partner; Mr.
Mime does not actually know any Psychic attacks, so you can bring in a Poison-
type or Gastly-line. Focus exclusively on Psyduck, making sure to take it out
quickly (especially because of Water Pulse and its annoying ability to confuse
you). Also make sure that you are not using anything that Mr. Mine can copy with
Mimic and throw back at you for super-effective damage. Between Light Screen and
Reflect (if he even has a chance to get it), Mr. Mime should not be too
difficult of a Pok�mon to defeat after he is alone. Doubleslap does a pitiful
amount of damage, and Mimic is only strong if you use the wrong moves and allow
Mr. Mime to copy it.


	Collector Eugene and Aroma Lady Allison inhabit the left table in the
third row from the door.

 _______________________________________________________
|Collector Eugene and Aroma Lady Allison (Double Battle)|
 �������������������������������������������������������
	For this battle, I would recommend that you bring in two very quick
Pok�mon, and just pound the stuffing out of Allison's Roselia. Not only is it
because Roselia is Allison's only Pok�mon, which results in you basically
double-teaming three Clefairies one Clefairy at a time for the rest of the
match, but also because most of the Clefairies' moveset is based on a doubles
match. Without a partner, Follow Me is useless, and Defense Curl and Minimize
will do nothing but delay the inevitable (as there is no untouchable partner to
attack you with). Doubleslap is also, as always, fairly weak, so you can just
mop the floor with your own two starters for the battle or anybody else you
choose to bring in for experience.


	Rich Boy Roman and Lady Kayla can also be found at the middle table in
the second row from the door.
 _____________________________________________
|Rich Boy Roman and Lady Kayla (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������������������������
	If you have any Fighting type or Rock/Ground type Pok�mon hand, bring
them in here. Failing the former, bring in either a Water-type or Grass-type
(preferably Grass), and in the case of the latter, anything that is not weak to
Electricity. Start off by attacking Sudowoodo; once it falls, Rich Boy Roman has
no more Pok�mon that he can call out, and so it quickly turns into a two-on-one
battle. After this, because Bonsly is also a Rock-type Pok�mon, you can
basically follow up with the same attacks as you did with Sudowoodo to fell him.

	Once Pichu comes out, you can make a choice. If you believe that your
Pok�mon are quick enough and versatile enough to defeat Pichu in a couple of
turns and withstand an attack (and do remember, this IS a Baby Pok�mon here,
which makes it fairly weak), then go for whatever lineup you have right now.
Otherwise, switch to something a bit stronger to take it out.


	PI Kendrick and Beauty Gabriella also inhabit the lower-left corner
table in the restaurant.
 ________________________________________________
|PI Kendrick and Beauty Gabriella (Double Battle)|
 ������������������������������������������������
	I do not believe much needs to be said here. Everybody in this battle is
pure Water-type, and I have not seen them use any moves other than Flail (for
the Goldeens) and Water Pulse (for Finneon). Even in the off-chance that the two
Goldeens DO have Peck and do use it, it will not do much damage to any of your
Grass Pok�mon because of low attack. You can probably bring in anybody except
for Fire, Rock and Ground Pok�mon to fight for this battle, as the three Water
Pok�mon are perfect fodder for gathering a quick bit of experience.


	Lastly, Cameraman Darryl and Reporter Valerie are sitting at the right-
most table at the second row of tables from the door.

 _____________________________________________________
|Cameraman Darryl and Reporter Valerie (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������������������
	I would actually recommend a Rock/Ground type Pok�mon with one of each
attack for this battle. The reasoning behind this is that you dodge both
Murkrow's attacks and Darryl's two Electric-types, along with having an attack
each of them is 2x weak to. If you cannot get such a Pok�mon, recommended is
that you bring in an Electric-type to clip Murkrow's wings relatively quick,
and, where possible, somebody who knows a Ground-type attack. After Murkrow
falls, you get into another classic case of the other side not being strong
enough to do anything whatsoever, so you can just attack away until both Luxio
and Pikachu fall.


	Head outside after all your battles are done. Once you've rested up
again at the hotel to the south, head east and talk to the Galactic Grunt, who
will run north. As you are blocked off from heading east any further for the
time being, continue north down a couple of stairs. Grab the nearby Paralyze
Heal off the ground before talking to the Galactic Grunt to finally fight him.

 ___________________
|Team Galactic Grunt|
 �������������������
	This is the perfect occasion to use a Fighting Pok�mon for your starter
(well, there were a number of good occasions back in the restaurant to use a
Fighting Pok�mon, but this time it can really end the battle in a pinch).
Failing that, it should not really be too difficult to find a Pok�mon that can
put the smackdown on Glameow. So long as you have somebody in your arsenal with
a fairly strong attack that is not weak to Dark attacks, along with an Awakening
on hand to neutralize Hypnosis, you should not be in too much of a dash of hard
luck.


	Afterwards, continue north a bit and you will encounter Cynthia again.
Talk to her to receive the SecretPotion from her (either answer will suffice),
which will ward the Psyducks off of Route 210. For now, however, head north,
east a bit, and then north again into Route 214 (this is not a storyline
requirement, but it will take you where you need to go anyways. If you do not
wish to get some extra experience and/or Pok�mon, then skip ahead to the next
Veilstone City section).

	Route 214 is basically divided into two separate paths; one will take
you straight north into Veilstone City, while the other will go west a bit,
through some grasses and also bring you by another short cave. As such, the
directions here will have you going down one route to the very end, then
backtracking to the start, then heading down the other path. With that said;
head north into the fence area, and you can battle Collector Douglas as your
first prospect in Route 214.

 _________________
|Collector Douglas|
 �����������������
	This battle with three Roselia should not be too difficult. Although it
has been a while since you have had to use them, Fire or Flying-types will
dominate this battle. Aside from that, you should definitely watch out for Leech
Seed to make sure your own HP is not being drained; at the same time, also take
steps to ensure that you are not affected by Grasswhistle, which can put your
own Pok�mon to sleep (in other words, have an Awakening or Berry on hand). What
can really make it annoying is that one status will not override the other, so
you can still get Leeched even while you are asleep. Quick attacks that can put
the three Roselia away before they can cause much damage is key here.


	After you have won the battle, head up left a bit, and before hitting
the rocky areas, go north. You will run into a fenced in dead end, but you will
be able to claim a Big Root from the grass. Head down, and then go left into the
grass. Go a bit south to grab a Max Potion, then head north and up onto the rock
plateau. Head right a bit to take on the Ruin Maniac Hunter.

 __________________
|Ruin Maniac Hunter|
 ������������������
	If you have a Fighting-type, bring it in. If lacking that, bring someone
with Water-type attacks in. Hunter's lone Pok�mon, a Shieldon, has the
Rock/Steel type, which is 4x weak to Fighting-type attacks. Since Steel-types
are resistant to most other elements, your only other option for this battle is
bringing in a Water-type. There are no neutral-types. After you bring your own
Pok�mon in, watch out for Swagger, which confuses you along with raising your
own Attack power (which can hurt if you attack yourself). Otherwise, there is
not much to be worried about.


	Continue clockwise around the path until you get to two stairs. Get off
your bike if you are on it, then head down and into the deep grass to take on
Collector Jamal.

 _______________
|Collector Jamal|
 ���������������
	Three Buizels in a row, with pure-attack movesets. There honestly is no
surprise to be had here; so long as you have someone strong enough and capable
enough to take on each of the Buizels, it simply is a non-issue (particularly if
its a Grass-type or Electric-type, which, as always, will dominate Water-types).
Once again, watch out for Pursuit, which is a Dark-type attack. Aside from that,
though, there is truly no difficulty in fighting them, especially given that you
should have had large amounts of practice with Water-types in the last little
while.


	Afterwards, head back up a staircase, then go up the next set of stairs
to take on Ruin Maniac Bryan.

 _________________
|Ruin Maniac Bryan|
 �����������������
	A Grass-type, Water-type, or Fighting-type should be enough take down
the first two Pok�mon. There are no real surprises with the movesets Cranidos
and Geodude have; it is all basically Ground-type and Rock-type attacks, with
one Dark-type attack (Crandios' Pursuit) and one Fighting-type attack (Geodude's
Rollout).

	With Bronzor out, you will once again have to do a litmus test for
whether his ability is Heatproof or Levitate, starting off with a Fire attack.
If it is Levitate, continue on using Fire-type attacks, but if it is Heatproof,
switch to a Ground-type Pok�mon if you have one (if you do not, then just
continue on hitting with Fire-type attacks, as that is still better than other
regular attacks). Once again, watch out for all of his attacks, especially
Confuse Ray and Extrasensory, which can be very annoying.


	Once this battle is won, continue north, getting off the bike to go
through the high grass. On the opposite side, go around the ledge and enter the
cave at the western end (Scroll down to see the section on the Ruin Maniac's
Cave). After you are done in the Cave, head back all the way to the original
Collector Douglas at the start of the Route. It's time to take the second half
of Route 214.

	Start off by going north through the fence (or outside on the right) and
through the grass. When you hit a clearing again, you may take on Psychic
Mitchell, who is walking around.

 ________________
|Psychic Mitchell|
 ����������������
	If you have a Dark-type on hand, now is the perfect time to unleash it
and cause havoc, as both Haunter and Kadabra are weak to Dark-type attacks. As
for the actual strategy, no matter who you are playing, watch out for Haunter's
Curse, which will result in your losing HP every turn (if you are affected by
this, just switch out). You should also watch out for Confuse Ray and Sucker
Punch both; Confuse Ray can confuse you, while Sucker Punch is a Dark attack
that always strikes first (though if you have your own Sucker Punch and your
Pok�mon is faster, you can take out Gastly).

	Kadabra is a bit more difficult depending on how the battle goes. Make
sure if using a Dark-type that you have at least two attacks should Kadabra
disable your first attack on the first turn with Disable. However, if Kadabra
uses Miracle Eye (which removes a Dark-type's immunity to Psychic-type attacks),
then it will be a non-issue, as neither Confusion nor Psybeam will still be
sufficiently strong enough.


	Continue north a bit from Psychic Mitchell, and you can fight Beauty
Devon, who is standing next to a fence and staring right.

 ____________
|Beauty Devon|
 ������������
	Wormadam is a very special Pok�mon; its first type is that of Bug, but
depending on the environment it evolved in (plains, sandy, or urban areas) its
second type is either Grass, Ground, or Steel. In this case, it is a Bug/Grass
type, so it is 4x weak to both Fire-types and Flying-types. Aside from that,
Wormadam is a fairly weak Pok�mon, with Hidden Power and Confusion both being
relatively weak, and Protect and Tackle being non-issues. You can even just
bring in someone else other than Flying/Fire to get some experience points.


	Proceed west past Beauty Devon, then up and west. Find Collector Brady,
who is patrolling the area, to take him on.

 _______________
|Collector Brady|
 ���������������
	If you have anything on hand to defeat a Fire type (Ground, Rock, or
Water), then now is the best time to take it out, as Brady relies on an arsenal
of three Ponytas, who all utilize the exact same moveset. If you can pick up a
Rock-type, it is probably the best for this battle, as even Stomp will be unable
to do much damage to you in that case. Failing any three of these types, do not
sweat it; once again, you can probably just bring in a Pok�mon that is neutral
to Fire-type attacks and still mop the floor with the three Ponytas for
experience.


	Continue north and west to take on PI Carlos.

	This should not be too difficult of a fight to get through, given
Goldeen's status as a fairly weak unevolved Pok�mon. All you really need to do
is make sure to watch out for Peck if you are using a Grass Pok�mon, and asides
from that, they are just fodder for experience.


	Once done, head straight north until you are directly out of the fenced
area, then go right to the end and go down again to get an X. Special Defense.
Head back out of the fenced area, then continue north and west to take on
Psychic Abigail.

 _______________
|Psychic Abigail|
 ���������������
	Start off with Psychic or Dark; as Gastly is weak to either type, it
should not be difficult to take him out quickly (especially since he does not
have an actual Ghost-type attack that he can attack any Psychic-types with for
damage). Take out the Psychic-type when Misdreavous comes out, as it is a pure-
Ghost type, so no Psychic-attack will be able to hit (unless you use Miracle Eye
prior to it). Dark-type attacks will suffice once again here, or any kind of
Ghost-type attack. When it comes to Kadabra, you can again use Ghost or Dark-
type (if you are using a Gastly-line Pok�mon, make sure you have Sucker Punch
learned, as it is recommended to hit Kadabra before it can hit you).


	Finally, you can just head straight north and into Vailstone City (skip
the next section on the Ruin Maniac's Cave).

	Inside, you can catch a super rare Pok�mon, the Hippopotas. It knows
several Ground attacks, which is really useful, considering that all your Ground
attacks up to now have been fairly weak, and by Pok�mon with other types. Also
pick up TM 28 at the northern side of the room (partly concealed by rocks)
before leaving.

	Get yourself healed up, and replenish any supplies you may need.
Basically, the usual. After you are done, head out the northwest exit out of the

	Coming in from Route 215, head west a bit, then go straight north to
encounter the Psyducks. Use the SecretPotion to get them to leave, and you will

	Head straight west from the start until you're in the southwest corner,
then hop off your bike if on it and tread north to pick up a Super Repel lying
next to the tree. Head right from your original position (past the tree) a few
squares, then head north. Squint a little bit, and you should see one of the
grass patches is a little different from the others. Head up to it to take on
Ninja Boy Brennan.

 _________________

	Rock, Electric-type or Psychic should start off the battle to take Zubat
down in one fell swoop. In the off chance that your Psychic type Pok�mon is
actually slower than Zubat, make sure to watch out for its Bite, but other than
that, things should not get very painful.

	Skorupi is a Bug/Poison type, so it is still weak to Psychic-types if
you wish to keep it on the field. However, your Psychic type will in turn be
weak to Pin Missile, and because you will get a very good chance to power-level
any Psychics of yours later, I recommend you switch over to a Flying-type,
Fighting-type or Fire-type Pok�mon to attack Skorupi's weakness.


	Continue straight right from Brennan's position to another disturbance
in the grass, and you should end up duking it out with Ninja Boy Fabian.

 ________________
|Ninja Boy Fabian|
 ����������������
	Although there are no Hikers and cadres of Geodudes in the recent past
for me to refer to, the point still stands; Geodudes, with a Rock/Ground
subtype, are 4x weak to both Water and Grass. So long as you have one of them
on-hand, you should be perfectly fine, especially considering the slow speed of
each individual Geodude (meaning that all three which know Self-destruct will be
unable to pull it off before they are knocked out).


	Proceed north into a small clearing after the battle, and pick up a
Hyper Potion. Now head right from here to almost the very end of the Grass
patches to take on Ninja Boy Bruce.

 _______________
|Ninja Boy Bruce|
 ���������������
	Hoo boy, another Stunky, another one-weakness Pok�mon. If you have a
Pok�mon that knows any Ground-type attacks, bring it in to fight. If you do not,
then bring in something that does neutral damage to Stunky and takes neutral
damage back; Fire, Flying, Water and Rock-types all fit this case, so bring one
of them in to start and just pound away at Stunky. If Bruce decides to go the
avenue of hitting you with annoying status-effect attacks, then switch out for
another Pok�mon (so it is unaffected), then continue fighting.


	Afterwards, head left and north to get out of the big grasses. Once you
are on the main road again, head right into the small grass patches and head to
the northeast corner here to pick up an Ultra Ball. Head back onto the route nd
head north into the next section of Route 210.

	First thing's first. You NEED to use Defog (that you got all the way
back at the Safari Zone) to clear the fog up. Once you've done so, head up to
the right, and skip past the one person next to the tree (has no significance).
Next, head left, and stop next to the lump in the ground to take on Ninja Boy
Joel.

 ______________
|Ninja Boy Joel|
 ��������������
	For the two Zubats and the Golbat, you can get away with Psychic,
Electric or Rock-type. Even if lacking any of those, you could still use
alternate types such as Fighting or Water that you may have not used in a while
and need to level back up.

	As this is only your second time fighting a Skorupi, I will once again
remind you; Flying, Fighting, and Fire are all things that it is weak to as a
Bug-type, so strike away and never look back (especially as it is even more tame
compared to the Skorupi that Ninja Boy Brennan was using a while back).



	Once done, head west. You can Cut the bush and then just walk to the end
and hop off to avoid the grass, or go west through the grass itself. Either way,
after a short stint of walking, you will end up having to face Ace Trainer
Alyssa.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Alyssa|
 ������������������
	Ponyta should not be very difficult to mop the floor with so long as you
do not introduce anything in that is weak to fire; its attacks are too weak to
really do an effective amount of damage, with the only possible threat being
Stomp with a high Critical rate. When Alyssa takes out Grotle, you will have a
bigger threat on your hands, especially if you do not try to bring something it
is weak to (allowing it a few turns to use Curse and raise both Attack and
Defense). However, so long as you hit hard enough and quickly enough, Mega Drain
will not be sufficient to offset any of Grotle's HP loss, and you can wipe it
out without much of a problem.


	Continue up the nearby staircase, and you will encounter walking around
the next plateau the Double Team Zac & Jan. Obviously, you will face off in a
Doubles battle.

 _____________________________________
|Double Team Zac & Jan (Double Battle)|
 �������������������������������������
	No ifs, ands, or buts; start off with an Electric-type who is able to
slaughter Gyrados in one hit. After that, choose who you will as a backup for
your Electric-type to take on Raichu. Lacking a Ground-type, choose anything
neutral against Electricity, and then pound it with both your Pok�mon to take
home a victory; Raichu has no surprises up its sleeve besides an exceptionally
strong Thunderbolt.


	Head up a very steep staircase, then proceed left to fight once again,
this time against Ace Trainer Ernest.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Ernest|
 ������������������
	Come in strong with a Fire-type or Flying-type to eradicate Mothim as
soon as possible; the longer you take to kill it, the more annoying it becomes
with both PoisonPowder and Confusion (able to cause poison status and confusion,
respectively). Once you have finished it off, you can calm down for your match
with Luxio - bring out something strong if you do not have anything with a
Ground-attack on it, making sure it is not weak to Electric or Dark-type
attacks. As Electric-types are always a bit hard to take on, try putting it to
sleep, confusing or paralyzing it first where possible, then move on to fight it
hand-to-hand and win. If you faced Onix before Luxio, bring in somebody who also
has a lot of HP, so you can outlast Luxio (if Sandstorm had come into effect).

	Finally, you will come to Onix. Anything Water, Grass, or Fighting-type
will eliminate it relatively quickly, and lacking that, Ghost, Psychic or Dark-
type attacks all work perfectly fine. Do NOT try to make this into a war of
attrition for whatever reason you may wish to; if Onix uses Sandstorm, you will
lose HP every turn from it.


	After, cross the bridge to your left. Hop on your bike if not on it
already, then go across the rope to the opposite side. Approach the lumpy ground
to fight Ninja Boy Davido.

 ________________
|Ninja Boy Davido|
 ����������������
	A Flying or Fire-type Pok�mon can work reasonably well here for taking
on Dustox, which is a Bug/Poison Pok�mon (especially as you do not want to
overlevel any Psychic-type that you are using). You should watch out for
Psybeam, which is capable of confusing you. Whirlwind can also be pretty
dangerous, as it switches out your current Pok�mon for one at random from the
rest of your lineup; if it lands on somebody who is weak to Psychic attacks,
switch it out quickly. Other than that, Moonlight, which is an attack that heals
Dustox, is pretty weak in its recovery rate under any circumstances.

	Proceed south across the second rope bridge after the battle. Use Rock
Smash on the boulders, then grab TM30 from the Pok�ball. Head back up across the
two rope bridges, then go down the southern bridge to take on Black Belt Adam.

 _______________
|Black Belt Adam|
 ���������������
	Not much to be said here. Considering its Fighting-type, you could use
either a Flying-type or Psychic-type to instantly destroy it. If you wish to do
so, you may also bring in a Ghost-type, but be warned as Foresight will reset
Ghost's natural immunity to Fighting-type attacks (but it will take up one of
Machoke's turns). Whatever you choose, you SHOULD have at least one of these
types on hand, considering how useful they all are during the regular game. If
you do not, just be sure not to bring in any Steel, Normal or Rock-types to
fight Machoke, which would be a very bad decision.


	Continue west and go down the stairs. Head east to fight another Ninja
Boy hiding in the ground.

 ________________
|Ninja Boy Nathan|
 ����������������
	There are no two ways around it; you NEED a Psychic-type for this
battle, as only Psychic-types can serve up such utter domination to the two
Poison-types that Ninja Boy Nathan has up his sleeve. Croagunk is, as always, 4x
weak to Psychic types with a Poison/Fighting subtype, and as usual, his Dark-
type attacks will not work simply because Croagunk is too slow to strike first.
Afterwards, you can do the same for Golbat; however, if you wish to do so, you
can also switch to someone else to fight him off (such as an Electric-type or
Rock-type, or simply someone neutral) for some experience.


	Pick up the Smoke Ball lying right next to Nathan after his defeat.
Next, head straight west from here, and you should end up taking on Bird Keeper
Brianna.

 ___________________
|Bird Keeper Brianna|
 �������������������
	As long as you do not try to bring in anything weak to Flying-type
attacks or Psychic-type attacks, your standard repetoire of Pok�mon should work
for this battle. Hypnosis can be fairly annoying if you let it go on, so be sure
to bring in an Awakening for use if required. Aside from that, the confusion
effect of Confusion is the only other possible side effect that may be
bothersome. However, the actual attacks are fairly weak, barring if they are
super-effective against your own Pok�mon. Also; if you can defeat Hoothoot with
ease, then that same Pok�mon should be able to take on Noctowl, Hoothoot's
evolution, without much difficulty either.

	Continue north and west across the bridge to take on Veteran Brian.

 _____________
|Veteran Brian|
 �������������
	If you were using an Electric-type from last battle, bring it in to
start to decimate Buizel. Otherwise, try bringing in a Grass-type to do the
same. Watch out though if you are hoping to finish it off in one hit using a
Pok�mon with little HP left; both Aqua Jet and Quick Attack will always strike
first, and SonicBoom does a guaranteed 30 HP of damage.

	Girafarig is an annoying Pok�mon, being a Normal/Psychic type; this
means Fighting-type attacks are not good to use against it, and you will have a
difficult time using a Haunter or Gengar to defeat it. However, if you have a
pure Ghost-type, I HIGHLY recommend you bring it in, as not only will Girafarig
be unable to touch it, it also cannot use Agility and then Baton Pass to switch
increased Speed over to Machoke, as Machoke's Fighting-type attacks will also be
unable to touch it. If you do not have a pure-Ghost type, then try to bring in a
Flying-type Pok�mon (that is not weak to Psychic-type attacks, of course) to
fight Girafarig and pummel Machoke if Girafarig decides to Baton Pass out.
Machoke, of course, would be weak to Flying-type attacks.


	After, head north up the staircase to pick up some Berries. After, head
west along the other steep staircase to head into Celestic Town.

	Head into the Pok�mon Center after you enter town and heal up. If your
lead Pok�mon likes you enough, you can also talk to the guy standing right next
to the left elevator to receive a Great Ball. Although there is no Pok� Mart in
town, you CAN pick items up from the northwest house. Inside, you can obtain
some special kinds of Pok�balls to catch Pok�mon with, along with the Choice
Specs from talking to the bearded man walking around.

	After you are done with everything else in town (you cannot hand off the
Old Charm right now), head down to the center of the valley via stairs from the
south, then talk to the Galactic Grunt in front of the cave. Answer yes to fight
him.

 �������������������
	Beautifly, as a Bug/Flying type, has a number of weaknesses. Flying,
Fire, and Electric-types all can make your rounds for you. However, should you
have a Rock-type on hand (which will probably need a bit of levelling to catch
up with other parts of the teams), now is the time to bring it in, as Beautifly
has a 4x weakness to Rock-type attacks. The only thing that you should really
watch out for is Stun Spore, which can paralyze you, and Mega Drain, if you are
using a Rock/Ground type, causing you to be 4x weak to Grass.

	There is not much to talk about with Croagunk. You fought a couple of
them on the way here, so you should realize by now that a quickly-placed
Psychic-type attack will put it down for good.


	Once you have won, you shall be able to drop off the Old Charm. Continue
on into the cave. Inside, head north and around the hole and examine the mural
at the end. The old lady comes back in, discusses the painting, and gives you
HM03, which teaches Surf. Of course, you shall require the Hearthome Badge first

after we make a side stop. For completionist's sake, we will be heading onto
Route 211. Otherwise, you may choose to skip ahead to the part on Hearthome

	From the entrance to Route 211, head west just a slight bit, then head
south in the non-grassy area. Once you hit the bottom, head west, and you should
encounter Black Belt Sean, who is doing a patrol of the area.

	Once again, despite three quarters of Croagunk's moveset being Dark-type
attacks and its fourth move being an annoying confusion attack, a well-placed
and super-quick Psychic-type attack can put it and its 4x Psychic weakness down
for good. For Meditite and Machoke, if you choose to do so, you may wish to
switch over to using a Flying-type, Dark-type (for Meditite) or pure Ghost-type
to take advantage of some weaknesses to grab some extra experience. Watch out if
using the pure-Ghost type (or even a Gastly-line in the case of Machoke);
Meditite knows Calm Mind and Machoke knows Foresight. Both of these moves reset
the Dark-type immunity to Psychic type-attacks and the Ghost-type immunity to
Fighting-type attacks and allow them to hit you with Psychic/Fighting attacks.
However, you still get an extra turn to hit them while they are using Calm
Mind/Foresight.


	After winning, head back east and north, then go north up the staircase
onto the rocky plateau. Head west from the start to battle Bird Keeper
Katherine.

 _____________________

	Bring in an Electric-type or Rock-type Pok�mon. Good game, Noctowl (and
if you do not have either of them, just make sure not to bring in anybody with
Poison-attribute because Noctowl will rape them with Confusion).


	Continue south and right to take on Ruin Maniac Harry (the woman
overlooking the grass below is not a Trainer).

	Where possible, you MUST bring in somebody who knows Flamethrower or
Fire Blast. For those playing Diamond, you may have a Skuntank with Flamethrower
by now, and you can also use the Move Teacher in Pastoria to teach Flamethrower
to a Chimchar-line Pok�mon. Otherwise, bring in a Fire-type and teach it Fire
Blast (which can be bought from the Department store in Veilstone City for
$5500). The reason for this is that both of them are Special-type moves, and
Iron Defense only protects Bronzor on the physical side of Defense. You will
also want a Pok�mon with Flamethrower or Fire Blast very soon to deal with more
annoying Bronzors, as it is the only guaranteed move to deal good amounts of
damage to Bronzors (even if it has Heatproof). That being said, take it out with
any Fire attack you have, and watch out that you do not get hit by Confuse Ray.


	Proceed left and north to the lump in the ground to take on Ninja Boy
Mick.

	Fire, Flying or Fighting to start will take care of the pesky Skorupi,
and Electric, Rock or Psychic-type should be able to do away with Golbat. As
always, watch out for Golbat's Bite and Confuse Ray; aside from that, however,
Ninja Boy Mick just uses a portmanteau of Pok�mon lineups that you have fought
very recently, so all the strategy and type weaknesses and strengths should
still be in your head.


	Head left and down, and enter the cave to head inside Mt. Coronet
(North).

    |������������������|�������������������������������������|
[ ] |TM65: Shadow Claw |Get from defeating Gym Leader Fantina|
     ��������������������������������������������������������

	PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS: You need, need, NEED a Dark-type or pure Ghost-
type Pok�mon (or anything not weak to Psychic for a second subtype), as in an
actual Dark-type/pure Ghost-type, not somebody who knows Dark-type/Ghost-type
moves. Every Pok�mon in this gym is weak to Dark-type/Ghost-type attacks, and
with a STAB bonus, every Dark-type attack will do 3x its regular damage. There
are no two ways around it; you NEED a Dark-type/Ghost-type. Good Pok�mon that
you may have so far are Murkrow (Dark and Flying-type, Diamond exclusive),
Stunky (Dark and Poison-type, Diamond exclusive), Misdreavous (pure Ghost-type,
Pearl exclusive) and Drifloon/Drifblim (Ghost and Flying-type, can be gotten at
the Valley Windworks on Friday afternoons).

	After you have at least one (better yet, one of each of Dark and Ghost)
of the aforementioned Pok�mon, you may still need to fill up your slots. If you
have a Haunter or Gengar, you can put it in, so long as you realize that you
will need to avoid Psychic-type attacks and that it is weak to Ghost-type
attacks. A strong Psychic-type of your own is also recommended, as the trainers
here carry many Gastlies, Haunters, and even a Gengar, all of which are weak to
Psychic-types, thanks to being part Poison. Other Pok�mon that know Dark-type
attacks but are not Dark-type themselves, such as Buizel and Luxio, should be
put in if you have more space. Finally, if you have any pure Normal-types that
still know elemental attacks such as Flamethrow or Bubblebeam or Rollout, etc.,
you might want to put them in as well; while they can attack the Ghost-types,
the Ghost-types cannot attack them with Ghost-type attacks. Finally, an
Electric-type if you still have a sixth Pok�mon you can fit in, because some of
the Ghost-types are also Flying-types.

	Also, status-effecting moves which cause paralysis, sleep or confusion
are VERY MUCH needed in this gym.


	Anyways, enough of that. Head up the elevator at the northern side of
the room. This is where it gets interesting. For the next four rooms, you will
be given a signpost that queries you as to the answer of a question. You have to
choose the door that corresponds to the direction of what you think is the
correct answer. If you choose the wrong door, you will face off against a
Hearthome City Gym Trainer. As such, I will list first the question and all
possible answers (with X marking the correct answer), and list the two Trainers
you can fight for taking the wrong door from each room.


   QUESTION ONE
"3 plus 5 plus 7 is?"
 Left - 2   Center - 16   Right - *15

	Left side will take you to Youngster Donny.

 _______________
|Youngster Donny|
 ���������������
	I recommend that you start off with a Dark-type Pok�mon for this battle,
or anyone who isn't Psychic or Ghost-type. This is because both Gastly and
Haunter know Sucker Punch, a Dark-type attack that always strikes first, but
only works if you are attacking. Therefore, using a Psychic-type or Ghost-type
would be hazardous. As such, use a Dark-type to start off. If you get hit with a
Confuse Ray, immediately switch out for another Pok�mon with a Dark-type attack.
The same goes for if they use Curse (which is different for Ghost-types from
other types; with Ghost-types, they lose half their HP to force you to lose HP
every turn); you will lose HP each turn at a very quick rate for the rest of the
time that your afflicted Pok�mon is out, so switch out and save your skin. Other
than that, though, they should be pushovers so long as you get your attacks in.


	Center door will take you to Lass Molly.

 __________
|Lass Molly|
 ����������
	This fight is also somewhat hazardous to enter, but somewhat less so.
Pain Split basically takes the average of yours and Misdreavous' HP and gives
you each the exact same amount of HP. I would recommend you start out with
something to confuse or put Misdreavous to sleep to keep it from using Confuse
Ray or Pain Split, then take it out with whatever attack that you have up your
sleeve.


   QUESTION TWO
"12 plus 28 is?"
 Left - 30   Center - *40   Right - 50

	Left door will take you to Camper Drew.

 ___________
|Camper Drew|
 �����������
	Oh look, three Gastlies. Payback is basically a Dark attack that does
double the regular amount of damage if it strikes after you have dealt damage to
Gastly, and Night Shade is a ghost-type attack that does a set amount of damage
(equal to the receiver's level). However, since they are Gastlies, they have an
OBSCENELY LOW amount of HP, so a single reasonably placed Dark-type, Ghost-type
or Psychic-type attack can take all three of them out individually.


	Taking the right door will lead to Picniker Cheyenne.

 _________________
|Picniker Cheyenne|
 �����������������
	Here is to a new kind of Ghost-type Pok�mon you probably have not seen
before. Drifloon is a Ghost/Flying-type Pok�mon, so it can use Flying-type
attacks (but I have not seen it use them in this specific battle). Drifloon's
main attack combination is to use Stockpile for up to three turns; in doing so,
for each successive turn that it uses it, its Spit Out attack gets stronger.
This, however, is flawed for two good reasons; by the time it finally utilizes
Spit Out, it should be dead if you play the weaknessea game. So yes, you can use
a Ghost-type, Dark-type or Electric-type attack a couple of times to eliminate
it. The second reason is that Stockpile and Spit Out are both Normal-type
attacks; as such, they WILL NOT affect a Ghost-type Pok�mon at all.


   QUESTION THREE
"3 times 13 is?"
 Left - *39   Center - 93   Right - 33

	Going through the central door here will pit you in a battle against
School Kid Chance.

 _________________
|School Kid Chance|
 �����������������
	One hit Psychic, Dark or Ghost to finish him off (supposing a strong
attack). If you do not have any truly strong attackers, then bring in somebody
with a Dark-type attack (but nobody who is Psychic or Ghost) to fight, so if you
get afflicted with sleep status thanks to Haunter's Hypnosis, is is not the end
of the world for you.


	The right door will force you into a faceoff with another School Kid .

 ____________________
|School Kid Mackenzie|
 ��������������������
	The first Drifloon actually holds a different moveset than the usual.
Instead of Stockpile and Spit Out/Swallow, this Drifloon instead uses Gust (a
weak Flying-type attack), Minimize (increases evasiveness) and Payback (double
damage if it hits after you strike Drifloon). As such, I would recommend that
you definitely bring in an Electric-type, at least for the first Drifloon, to
fight it; not only will Gust due little damage to it, but Payback will also be
insignificant. Should you also try to paralyze it first thing, then its power is
greatly reduced, along with speed.

	For the second Drifloon, it uses the common Stockpile / Spit Out format,
so you can switch back to Dark/Ghost type, or continue using your Electric type.



   QUESTION FOUR
"The first room's answer?"
 Left - 2   Center - 16   Right - *15

	Heading left here will see you going up against Ace Trainer Allen.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Allen|
 �����������������
	Come into this battle with a strong Ghost-type or Psychic-type Pok�mon.
As none of the Gastly-line Pok�mon have Sucker Punch to screw you over with, if
you are quick enough (or have your own Sucker Punch), you can knock out each of
your opponents in one strike apiece. If you cannot, make sure you have a backup
Pok�mon on hand, as Revenge can be very dangerous here against a Psychic or
Ghost-type. Also watch out for Shadow Ball; it is a fairly strong Special attack
that deals a lot of damage.


	Taking the central door will pit you against Ace Trainer Catherine.

 _____________________
|Ace Trainer Catherine|
 ���������������������
	Although you may be comfortable with using a Ghost-type on Misdreavous
by this point in time, I would recommend you not do so this time; this is
because Misdreavous here uses Astonish, a Dark-type attack that can also make
you flinch. Instead, I would recommend that you turn the tables on Misdreavous
and bring in your own Dark-type to exploit his weaknesses. Failing that, bring
in one of your Pok�mon that is neutral or resistant to Dark-type attacks (and
Psychic-type attacks as well).


	Finally, going through the right door, you will be able to take on Gym
Leader Fantina.

 __________________
|Gym Leader Fantina|
 ������������������
	You should probably start off with an Electric-type or something that
can inflict status effects on Drifblim. This is mainly because (not only will it
be much harder to kill then the Drifloon) it likes to start off with Ominous
Wind, a move that has a chance of raising each one of Drifblim's stats (the
chance for each of the five kinds of stats are separate). If you can paralyze it
or put it to sleep, these are the best things to do; you may also deign to
poison it. However, confusion should be avoided, as it tends to not do as much
damage against Gym Leader Pok�mon. If you have a Leech Seeder in the crowd, this
is also a very good move to put forth. Once you have caused a status effect to
Drifblim, break out with the attack. It will probably try to use Minimize, so
make sure to hit with higher-accuracy attacks that can still hit fairly hard
(Flamethrower, Thunderbolt or Crunch are all good examples). With luck (and
hoping it does not manage to strike back with a fully-powered Payback), you
should be able to take out Drifblim before it can take out you.

	Although it is her best Pok�mon, Fantina will usually bring out
Mismagius (the evolved from of Misdreavous) for her second Pok�mon. It will
probably also shred most of your Pok�mon to pieces. If you can, keep your own
starting Pok�mon out (if it still has at least three quarters health left), and
try to inflict a status-effect on it other than confusion. Once your starter
(likely) falls, you MUST bring out somebody who is NOT weak to Psychic OR Ghost-
type attacks; if you fail to do this, you will lose miserably. Shadow Ball is a
very powerful Ghost-type Special attack that can also reduce your Special
Defense, making you even more vulnerable to it (and of course, with STAB it
becomes even more monstrously powerful). Psybeam you may already know the
horrors of, and Confuse Ray is just plain annoying. Interestingly enough, since
Confuse Ray and Shadow Ball are much more annoying than Psybeam and Magical Leaf
(a semi-strong always hit Grass attack), you may wish to bring in a Normal type
so it can only be hit by Psybeam and Magical Leaf. While Psybeam may still
confuse the foe, it has a much lesser chance of doing so, and there is less
potential for harm while you recover (if you want to, you could also attach a
Persim Berry to said Pok�mon so if it gets confused, it automatically recovers
once). Meanwile, you can retaliate with elemental moves to inflict large amounts
of damage on Mismagius (for those who do not remember, Normal-type attacks will
not work on Ghost-types). If your Normal-type falls, you should also have
reduced Mismagius' HP a great amount. If you do not wish to attempt such a
strategy, you should otherwise bring in somebody with some strong Dark-type
attacks to beat Mismagius silly, as it is very weak to Dark-type attacks
(especially if you have STAB bonus); try to use moves like Crunch, Bite and
Night Slash as opposed to Dark Pulse if you actually have someone who knows it,
as Mismagius is MUCH weaker to Physical attacks than it is to Special attacks.

	Although Gengar is easier than Mismagius and can basically be bruised by
any one of the Pok�mon I outlined at the start of the gym, you still should not
take him too lightly. If he uses Spite, breath easy; it basically reduces the PP
of one of your moves, and is fairly useless overall in the grand scheme of
things, giving you an easy chance for an extra attack. Poison Jab is also a
fairly strong Poison-type attack that is capable of poisoning you, so try to
watch out for it. His final attack, Shadow Claw, is the reason why you should
try to avoid using Ghost and Psychic-types for this matchup; not only is it a
strong Ghost-type attack, which would do 3x damage thanks to weakness to Ghost
attacks and STAB, but it also has a high rate of critical hits, which would
cause 6x the normal rate of damage. That, and it is a Physical attack (most
Psychics and Ghosts have strong Special Defense, but poor Physical Defense). As
such, that is why I recommend you use something else other than Psychic or Ghost
until you absolutely have to (if necessary).


	Afterwards, you shall receive TM65 and the Relic Badge. Exit out of the
gym by going onto the center of each platform and lowering yourself.

	Outside, you will meet up with Cynthia again, who suggests you go to
Canalave City. To do so, you shall need a Pok�mon with Surf (those of you who
are using HM Whores, Bibarel works perfectly for the job), and will need to head
to Jubilife City. From here, head out the northwest checkpoint onto Route 218.

	Two Gyrados. As always, no matter how tough or strong they might look, a
STABed Electric attack does 6x regular amount of damage to them, likely taking
each of them down in one fell swoop. Good game, but an electric type still rapes
them.

You may wish to antagonize Luxio a few times with your own stat-

	From the start of the gym, head left and up past the statues to take on
your first opponent in this gym; Black Belt Ricky.

 ________________
|Black Belt Ricky|
 ����������������
	And so, we start off with a Steelix. Because Steelix is a Steel/Ground
type Pok�mon, you can basically use any of your four major types (Fighting,
Fire, Ground and Water). I would recommend you use a Pok�mon that has at least
two attacks of any of these four elements, however; Steelix knows Torment, which
stops you from using the same attack two times in a row (meaning you would have
to use your attack, then switch to another move for the next turn before coming
back to your original attack; if you have two attacks, it does not make a real
problem). Taunt and Screech should not be a major issue if you are looking to
end the battle quickly (as they each will be useless in a battle where you
expect to win in two to three attacks or even one), and Double-Edge is not that
powerful - Steelix's Attack stats are lacking, and it will end up injuring
itself in recoil as well.


	From Ricky, make your way right, and talk to the worker to take on
Worker Gary.

 ___________
|Worker Gary|
 �����������
	Because of Onix's Rock/Ground type, I would recommend bringing in a
Water or Grass type to do 4x damage either way. After that, so long as you make
sure that you hit first (not difficult considering Onix's speed) and do not
suffer a critical hit that knocks you out from Slam (which is again unlikely,
even with critical hit damage), then you should be good to go in taking out Onix
while receiving only a fraction of the amount of damage you deal.


	Once done battle, take the first of the four available yellow platforms
(the left-most one), and head up a floor. At the top, head north and then right
to take on Worker Jackson.

 ______________
|Worker Jackson|
 ��������������
	This here is basically the same thing as the previous battle, but with
three Onixes. Do not worry, though; they are also somewhat easier to defeat,
with their levels downgraded a bit, so you should have no trouble plowing
through them if you fought Gary's Onix with ease.


	When you have finished, head back to the tile and go down to the bottom
floor. Head to the far right-most tile (fourth in line) and head up to the top
again. Loop around clockwise onto the next tile to go down, then head south and
left to take on Ace Trainer Cesar.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Cesar|
 �����������������
	Although Skorupi is not the Pok�mon you would expect to see in the
Canalave City Gym, it should not be too difficult to ward off, considering you
have at least two Pok�mon types that it is weak to; Fire and Fighting. Although
Skorupi is a weak Pok�mon and can usually be taken out in one hit by an attack
it is weak to, especially try to make sure it is quick, as Poison Sting can be
annoying should you be hit by it and be poisoned.

	With Steelix, make sure that you do not use a Fire-type (unless it is
protected against weakness to Rock by another subtype, such as Fighting) because
of its Rock Throw. The only other thing is that you should ESPECIALLY try to
finish it off quickly; Sandstorm will cause damage every turn until it subsides.
It also has another effect, but it will not really matter until the Gym Leader
fight.


	Afterwards, continue on left and go through a couple more panels before
you finally come to a split with two panels that zip across. Take the nothern
panel here to head up, then go and take on Worker Gerardo.

 ______________
|Worker Gerardo|
 ��������������
	Again the same deal as before when fighting Onixes; use Grass or Water-
types to KO them in one or two turns, then move on to the next Onix and repeat
to win a pretty easy battle for some pretty easy experience.


	On the opposite side, head right once more across a panel to take on
Black Belt David.

 ________________
|Black Belt David|
 ����������������
	Once again, nothing you have not seen before. Take out Onix with Grass
or Water, then defeat Steelix with any of the four conventional types mentioned
in the first battle (sans a pure Fire-type which is, again, weak to Rock-type
attacks). Pretty simple overall again.


	From here, head down a rail, then right and up a rail again, then go
down the floor. Continue up to take on Ace Trainer Breanna.

 ___________________
|Ace Trainer Breanna|
 �������������������
	Oh crap, a Water-type. In actuality, however, Azumarill does not know a
single Water-type attack, so breath easy. If you have a Grass-type or Electric-
type on hand for backup, now is the time to take it out and let it loose.
Failing that, you may wish to consider putting in your Ground or Fighting type
(as both Fire and Water will be ineffective against Azumarill). Try to use a
Female if you can; Azumarill's Attract will distract males from doing battle for
a bit. If you have to use a male, then switch out where possible once affected
by Attract.


	Head around counterclockwise from Breanna and take the next platform. At
the bottom, head left and take the special red title to be transported all the
way up to the top of the gym. Talk to the nearby person to take on Gym Leader
Byron.

 ________________
|Gym Leader Byron|
 ����������������
	Start out with your Ground-type (if you have one, of course, or somebody
with a Ground-type attack; try to not use a Rock/Ground type unless you have to,
as Rock-types will be weak to Flash Cannon) and hit Bronzor with a quick attack.
If the Bronzor has Levitate, then switch out to a Fire-type and act accordingly.
Otherwise, stay in and continue pounding away at Bronzor with your attacks.
Either type that you end up using, make sure that you heal yourself with items
as soon as you are inflicted with a status, as now is NOT the time to be waiting
for your status ailments to go away. Once you have Hypnosis and Confuse Ray
sealed from being effective, it comes down to Extrasensory and Flash Cannon.
Flash Cannon is an attack that gains power the quicker your Pok�mon is, so if
you are using a Fire-type or Ground-type, whicb can tend to be slow, you do not
need to worry much. Of course, the threat of double damage if using a
Rock/Ground type is still there. Extrasensory will be insignificant, however,
unless he begins to use it every turn and you cannot defeat Bronzor quickly
enough.

	_IF_ Steelix is the second Pok�mon Byron calls out (although I have not
seen this happen yet; usually he will bring Bastiodon as his trump card out
first), you MUST FAINT IT QUICKLY. This is because of Sandstorm's second effect;
while it is in play, the Special Defense of all Rock Pok�mon on the field is
increased by 1.5x. While Steelix is not a Rock Pok�mon, Bastiodon is, and
Bastiodon does not need his godly Special Defense raised anymore. If Steelix
manages to use it before you take him out, then stall for time until the
sandstorm recedes before taking Steelix out (this, of course, should all be
ignored if you have already taken Bastiodon out, or only use Physical attacks as
opposed to Special attacks). Aside from that, however, you do not need to worry
about Steelix too much; the only thing that you should know beforehand is that
Ground-types should be kept away from Steelix this time around, as they are weak
to Ice Fang.

	For Bastiodon, you MUST, MUST, MUST bring in a Fighting-type or Ground-
type Pok�mon with a powerful attack. I cannot stress this enough. Bastiodon has
a godly Defense stats and even a very high Special Defense stat. He backs it up
by tending to start out with a stream of Iron Defenses (which raises his Defense
at 2x the rate of Defense Curl), which may make it virtually impenetrable.
Ancientpower (which he uses on about an even basis with Flash Cannon) also has a
chance of raising all of his stats at once, and Flash Cannon itself can bring
down the receiver's Special Attack. Last but not least, there is the highly
annoying Rest; not only does it recover all of Bastiodon's HP, but it also has a
Chesto Berry attached to it that allows it to automatically recover from sleep
the first time. Because this is the case, you may choose to start off with
somebody who knows an attack like Hypnosis to get rid of the Chesto Berry, but
afterwards, switch in to your Fighting-type/Ground-type. Because most Fighting-
type attacks are Physical-type moves (the same for a good portion of Ground-type
attacks), Flash Cannon's effect will not hurt much (and Steel does neutral
damage to Fighting-types, along with Rock-type attacks; if you are using a
Monferno or Infernape, Flash Cannon does half damage while AncientPower is
neutral). Best of all, Bastiodon is Rock/Steel type, meaning it is doubly weak
to both Ground-types Fighting-types, and with a STAB bonus, that goes up to 6x
the regular amount of damage. The other good thing is that Bastiodon only has a
meager Attack, so you should be able to cause a capable amount of damage.
Eventually, after Byron has gone through his supply of Full Heals and Bastiodon
cannot recover from a Rest quickly enough (making sure to keep your own HP up,
even if you have to use a Super Potion or Hyper Potion), Bastiodon will fall.


	Once the battle is done, you will receive TM91 and the Mine Badge from
Byron. Now, head right and go around clockwise along four yellow platforms until
you get to a second red tile. Take it down to go back to the bottom of the gym,
then exit outside.

	Outside, you should meet up with your rival again, who will direct you
to the Library. From the Gym, head straight up to the tall building north of it.
Inside, head up two flights of stairs to get to the top, where you will then
receive a debriefing. Once done, head downstairs and outside for another scene.
Afterwards, your new destination will be set: Lake Valor.

	To get there, you can go either from Celestic Town or Pastoria City; the
Pastoria City route is recommended, as it is shorter and you only need to cross
five or six patches of grass. Your destination is right north of the hotel
resorts, near where Cynthia handed off the SecretPotion to you. You should have
noted two Galactic Grunt guards stoppoing you from entering a nearby place; they
are no longer here, so go to Lake Valor through the aforementioned entrance.
Being that it is Team Galactic, they will have an armada of Normal and Poison-
types, so be sure to bring in some Fighting and Psychic-type Pok�mon.

	If you cannot enter Lake Valour, you MUST GO TO CANALAVE CITY, and you
MUST GO TO THE LIBRARY. You NEED the scene that occurs here before you can
continue on.

	From the entrance of Lake Valour, head left and down the first flight of
stairs (ignoring the first Galactic Grunt that you see) and left from the first
flopping Magikarp to take on Team Galactic Grunt 1.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1|
 ���������������������
	Glameow will be, once again, a large nuisance. Hypnosis can put you to
sleep readily, while Fury Swipes can cut down your HP at an alarming pace.
However, you will want to focus again on Physical attacks this time around (if
you do not already by utilizing Fighting-type attacks to take Glameow out on its
weakness); Captivate will lower a Pok�mon of the opposite gender's Special
Attack by two factors, and you will likely be using a male (Glameow in this case
is female). As such, you can either use Fighting-type attacks to exploit
Glameow's weakness, or anything that will not have a really hard time making its
way through a possible Hypnosis.

	As for Croagunk, as always, Psychic-types will dominate it in one hit,
but you must make sure that it is strong enough to survive Sucker Punch, an hit-
first Dark-type attack that only works when the opponent is attacking. Failing
that, a Flying-type should work as a proxy, even if it does get the chance to
use Swagger.


	Afterwards, continue down left until you hit the puddle at the bottom
with a Magikarp, then go south up the stairs and left again and face off against
Team Galactic Grunt 2 in the southwest corner (ignoring the Galactic Grunt near
all the Magikarps).

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	For the first part of the battle, I would recommend using an Electric-
type Pok�mon or an Ice-type if you have obtained one by now, instead of exposing
a Psychic-type to the danger of Golbat's Bite. Just be sure to watch out for
Golbat's Confuse Ray, as it can be very painful to try to fight through and
defeat Golbat while at the same time combating confusion.

	Pretty much the same thing applies for Croagunk; a Psychic-type or
Flying-type, while making sure you are not taken out of the game with Sucker
Punch.


	Continue right from the second Grunt to take on the third Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 3|
 ���������������������
	As always, you can start off with a Psychic-type or Ghost-type to
absolutely obliterate the hell out of Croagunk. Once that is done, you should
end up taking on Beautifly and Dustox, in either order. Because both of them are
Bug-types, you can bring in either a Fire-type or Flying-type to basically
slaughter them (Fighting will not work here because Beautifly is part Flying and
Dustox part Poison). Neither of them really possess any dangerous moves; the
only thing to watch for is Dustox's Whirlwind, and you can just switch your
Pok�mon back in or continue on.


	Enter the nearby cave once you are done. Inside, head up north and talk
to the man standing next to the lake to take on the third of the triad command
of Team Galactic, Commander Saturn.

 ________________
|Commander Saturn|
 ����������������
	Kadabra you basically MUST bring in a Dark-type (or somebody who knows
Dark-type moves, in any case). Not only does it know Psychic, basically the most
powerful no-drawback Psychic-type attack in the game (a lot more powerful than
all the Psybeams you have been used to), but it can also utilize Recover to make
up for any lost HP. Obviously, if you are using a Dark-type, you can easily
neutralize Psychic because of immunities, and even with a Dark-type attack, you
can still put Kadabra out of commission quickly enough. A new move that you may
not be used to is Embargo, which eliminates the effect of your own Held Item for
the duration of the battle (so you cannot use it).

	Bronzor you can probably pummel into the ground easily, as you have a
very recent experience with fighting them at the Canalave City Gym. Start off
with your litmus test by utilizing a Fire-type Pok�mon; if Bronzor has Heatproof
and your Fire-type's power does not satisfy you, then switch over to a Ground-
type. Either way, the only move here that can really do any damage is Confuse
Ray, and that is to yourself (which can be nullified by switching out, of
course).

	Toxicroak is the evolved form of Croagunk, and you basically need to
have a Psychic-type here, especially as you probably have not levelled up
Flying-types in a while, and so they will be too behind to be effective in this
battle (if you faec Toxicroak before Bronzor, do not worry about saving your
Psychic - as always, Bronzor is resistant to Psychic-type attacks). Although
Toxicroak's moveset is nothing to really write home about (especially since
Faint Attack is not powerful enough to take out a Psychic-type of a similar
level), you should watch out for Poison Jab, which is a STABed attack that can
also poison. Lastly, do not expect to be able to take Toxicroak out in just two
hits, as well; it has a Sitrus Berry attached to it that recovers a major amount
of its HP once damage levels on it become significant.


	When the battle is completed, head outside of the cave and fly to
Twinleaf Town. From here, Fly back home to Twinleaf Town. Heal up at your
mother's house, then head out of town, go left and north into Lake Verity.

	Head north from Professor Rowan to take on the first group of Galactic
Grunts.

 _______________________________________________________________
|Team Galactic Grunt and Team Galactic Grunt (1) (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������������������������������������������
	Start out strong in this battle with a Fighting-type on hand to take out
the first Glameow in a matter of a turn; who you choose to back it up with does
not matter too much, but a Flying-type is preferable if you have been neglecting
them as of late. Once you take out the one Glameow, the entire battle will be
against one Pok�mon every turn, so you should have no problem with it; the only
possible problem would be against Golbat and its Flying-type attacks, but so
long as you can take it out in a couple of turns, it should not be too difficult
to handle.


	After the battle, continue up a slight bit to take on a second pair of
Grunts in a double battle (for those of you who are looking for a way to dodge
this battle, you can just Surf around; you can also pick up TM38 from the
southwest corner of the lake while you are at it).

 _______________________________________________________________
|Team Galactic Grunt and Team Galactic Grunt (2) (Double Battle)|
 ���������������������������������������������������������������
	For this battle, you should probably bring in a Fighting-type and a
Fire-type, but it is also HIGHLY recommended that you have strong backups in
your arsenal. Focus on Stunky first while both of your Pok�mon are still out on
the field; his Toxic can become potentially fatal after only a few turns. If
Beautifly does not send one of your Pok�mon out utilizing Whirlwind, then wipe
it out shortly after Stunky is fainted. After that, it is a simple gesture in
defeating the two Glameows, especially if you have your Fighting-type still in
play. If your Fighter gets Whirlwind'ed out of the field, try to make do with
what you have, as the two Glameow are not that strong.


	Consider yourself lucky; in beating both pairs of Grunts, you are now
able to fight Commander Mars (whom you previously fought at the Valley
Windworks) in a rematch (if your Pok�mon are injured, you can go back to
Twinleaf Town to recover up at your place).

 ______________
|Commander Mars|
 ��������������
In facing Golbat, I would recommend you bring in a Rock-type or Electric-type
Pok�mon (especially if the opponent's levels are getting ahead of yours) as
opposed to Psychic-types; while they might be confused by Supersonic, Golbat
will not be able to cause much damage to you in the meantime along with your own
damage (especially with the Rock-types). You might also be needing to level them
up a bit after the last little while. As always, should you choose to use
Psychic-types, watch out for Golbat's Bite.

	Bronzor is the same as always. Litmus test with Fire, and then switch to
Ground if Fire doesn't work. You should still have both types on you from facing
off against Gym Six in Canalave.

	Purugly is the big threat here; as the evolution of Glameow, it gains a
lot of muster behind its attacks, along with being the highest level trainer
Pok�mon you will have seen so far (along with Byron's Bastiodon). Because of
Purugly's movepool, you basically NEED a Fighting-type. Both Faint Attack and
Fake Out will be ineffective as a result, and the only dangerous combination is
a Hypnosis followed by several strong Slashes, many of which could result in
Critical Hits (if you get put to sleep, quickly follow with an Awakening, or
better yet, attach a berry before the battle that automatically restores Sleep
status). As Purugly is weak to Fighting-type attacks, it will also suffer defeat
quickly.


	Finishing up the Galactic executive, you will obtain a new destination
for you; Lake Acuity. To get there, however, you need to go through Mt. Coronet,
which you have only explored bits and pieces of. Additionally, you need at least
one Pok�mon with both Strength, Defog, and Surf (along with Rock Smash where
possible). For those who have not yet claimed all of the HMs, Strength may be
found by climbing to the top of the Lost Tower near Solaceon Town and talking to
one of the old ladies in the top room, Defog can be obtained by talking to a
girl at the entrance of the Great Marsh in Pastoria City (inside the actual
Marsh), Surf I believe is obligatory but may be obtained from the old lady in
Celestic Town, and Rock Smash is gotten by talking to the Hiker in the Oreburgh
Gate cave. Once done, head to Celestic Town, then go onto Route 211 west of
town. From here, head into Mt. Coronet.

	From the entrance, head north and use Strength to push the boulder
north, then continue past it and left to go down into the lower passageway.
Downstairs, you will have to utilize Defog to clear away the mist. After, break
the nearby rock to obtain a Stardust, then head north a slight bit and then
right down the stairs. Utilize Surf, then head due northeast and get off of the
corner of a small island in the center of the lake to get a Pok�ball with a
Light Clay in it. Head back to the left side of the room, then go up the stairs
and head north until you come to a second set of stairs.

	Go down the staircase and then head north, using first Rock Smash, then
Strength to obtain a Soft Sand from another Pok�ball. Go back up the stairs,
then continue north until you come to a third set of stairs. Use Rock Smash on
the rock in the lower-right corner to grab a Max Elixir from the end, then
travel up the stairs to the right and use Strength on the Rock to obtain a
Revive. Head back to the long strip on the left side of the room, then head
north and up into the next room. Here, just head around clockwise to exit out
onto Route 216.

	Head down the left staircase from the Mt. Coronet Exit to take on your
first opponent, Ace Trainer Blake.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Blake|
 �����������������
	If you still have a Fighting-type from the Canalave City Gym, then bring
it in to absolutely decimate Abipom, who is the evolution of Aipom. Failing
that, bring in a Ghost-type, who can dodge most all of Abipom's attacks. Failing
that, then you should try to bring in a Dark-type; if you do not, Abipom may try
for an Agility/Baton Pass combination to bring in Kadabra who will go for a fast
attack. A Dark-type will nullify any Psychic attacks, as well as be able to
slaughter Kadabra in addition to Abipom.


	After, continue on down and left. You will run into some deep patches of
snow as well, which you will be unable to run through. After a bit, you will run
into another Ace Trainer.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Maria|
 �����������������
	Come in with something strong which isn't weak to any Water-type
attacks, and make sure that it has at least two different attacks so if Golduck
uses Disable, it is not the end of the world for you. As Golduck uses the very
annoying Water Pulse in addition to Screech, you may find yourself hard-pressed
to keep up; if that becomes the case, then switch over to somebody else to
fight.

	Ponyta should be pretty easy to deal with. As it is unevolved, its stats
may have fallen behind most of your own line-up who have at least one evolution,
so you can basically send out anybody you need to do take on Ponyta.

	Sudowoodo may be a spot of trouble for you should he manage to survive
an attack and unleash Endure. My main recommendation would be to wear down his
Defense first with anything like Leer, Tail Whip, or Screech, and then hit him
with a hard super-effective attack (Water, Grass, Fighting) to take him out in
one blow, and preserve yourself from any possible extreme damage caused by
Endure.


	Once your match is over, head up the giant staircase to the north, then
go south across the bridge. Head east to take on Ace Trainer Laura.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Laura|
 �����������������
	Lopunny is a fairly quick Pok�mon (and the evolution of Buneary), and
you should bring in a Fighting-type from your time at Canalave Gym for two good
reasons; the first is that Lopunny is weak to Fighting-type attacks. The second
is that Mirror Coat is a Special Attack that does double the amount of damage
your own attack does - if it is a Special Attack. As many Fighting-type moves
are Physical-type attacks, you are not at danger of receiving damage from Mirror
Coat. The only other word of advice is that if you are affected by confusion
from Dizzy Punch, just try to bear it out and hit Lopunny with an attack that
will hopefully seal its fate.

	Backtrack to where Ace Trainer Maria is standing, then continue on going
west. You will then face off against Skier Edward, who is walking around in a
counterclockwise circle.

 ____________
|Skier Edward|
 ������������
	Taking on Edward, you will face a new Pok�mon that most have not seen
since the likes of Gold/Silver; Sneasel. Fortunately for you, Sneasel is not
that powerful of a Pok�mon, and even Icy Wind lacks strength, instead being
there to annoy you (or would, anyways, if Edward had more than one Pok�mon) by
lowering your Speed. However, Sneasel is a Dark/Ice type; this means it is weak
to both Fighting and Fire-types (4x so to Fighting-type attacks), of which at
least one of them you should have on you dating back to your battles in Canalave
City Gym. After that, one hit and good game, Sneasel.


	Head left again and enter the nearby Snowbound Lodge. In here, you can
get a rest by examining the bed to take a rest and heal up all your Pok�mon.
Once you are done, exit outside and head left and north into the grass patch to
take on Ace Trainer Garrett.

	Head north to take on the first trainer of Route 217, Ace Trainer
Dalton.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Dalton|
 ������������������
	If you have anybody with a Ground-type attribute or Ground-type attack,
then bring them in and absolutely decimate Raichu. Failing that, try to bring in
a Grass-type or Rock-type to make some of Raichu's attacks ineffective, and turn
it into a war of attrition. As the electric attacks will be weak against the
Grass-types and Normal attacks weak against the Rock-types, Raichu will be
somewhat downgraded in power, and you should have a fair chance in taking it
out.

	With Hippopotas, a Flying-type Pok�mon REALLY works wonders, as none of
his Ground attacks will work on you, leaving him basically with Crunch. Lacking
a Flying-type, you can also get away with a Water or Grass-type, both of which
can rape Hippopotas due to type weaknesses (but not completely nullify Ground
attacks).

	Pelipper being Pelipper being the evolved form of Wingull is still a
Water/Flying type. Basically, bring in an Electric-type and go all out on it to
destroy it in a single turn.


	Head northwest from here to face off against Skier Madison.

 _____________
|Skier Madison|
 �������������
	Snover is a new Pok�mon introduced in D/P that is slightly strong, and
utilizes a few semi-exclusive techniques such as Ice Shard and Ingrain. However,
at the same time, because it is a Grass/Ice type, and REALLY SLOW to boot, it is
VERY vulnerable to any Pok�mon with a Fire-type attack. As such, let out
whatever Fire-type you have on your hands, and send Skier Madison reeling.


	Go back south a bit, then head east. Slightly southeast of the lone tree
(and south of the skier was walking about) you will encounter Ninja Boy Antonio.

 _________________
|Ninja Boy Antonio|
 �����������������
	As every Pok�mon in this battle is part Poison-type, you will likely
want to bring in a Psychic-type. However, if your Psychic-type is becoming
overpowered, consider bringing in a Ground or Flying-type for Croagunk, and
Electric or Rock-types for the Zubats and Golbat, all of which may need
levelling up. As always, especially watch out for the status effecting moves,
which are in this cay Confuse Ray and Poison Fang.


	Proceed north somewhat to take on Skier Shawn.

 ___________
|Skier Shawn|
 �����������
	This is a reasonably easy battle if you have the right types. Whip out
your Fire-type to take on all three Snovers, and when Shawn calls out his
Golduck, bring in anything that isn't weak to Water to go toe-to-toe with
Golduck and take it out.


	Continue north some more to take on Skier Bjorn.

 ___________
|Skier Bjorn|
 �����������
	Start out hard with an Electric-type to take advantage of Manytke's
Flying/Water type and fell it in one attack before it has a chance to even deal
any damage. Afterwards, switch to anybody using Fire or Fighting to defeat
Sneasel. Overall, this battle should not be really difficult, considering that
you will more likely than not hold the right types on your team to defeat your
foes.


	In the aftermath, press on slightly north and into the nearby house.
Talk to the girl inside to obtain the Spell Tag, then leave the house and go
south and then west a long ways until you come to another house. Examine the
Pok�ball right north of the house to get HM08, which teaches Rock Climb, and is
the second-to-last HM for you to claim in the game (the last being Waterfall).
Head south and right a bit from the ohuse to obtain TM07 as well. After, head
left from the house and go south a long bit until you should see a lump in the
snow northwest of two trees standing by themselves. This will be your next
fight, with Ninja Boy Ethan.

 _______________
|Ninja Boy Ethan|
 ���������������
	For this battle, you should bring in a Pok�mon to start off against
Skorupi that you are also comfortable with taking on a Golbat; if you have a
Psychic-type on hand, both of them would be weak to it. However, you can also
probably get away with anything packing a decent amount of offense that is not
also weak to Flying-type attacks; this is because of Skorupi's Toxic Spikes,
which if it uses, damages a Pok�mon that is switched in for the current Pok�mon.
However, aside from that, Skorupi is more annoying than it is damaging; Knock
Off knocks off your Pok�mon's item for the battle (if it is holding one), thus
eliminating whatever effect if offers. Golbat is also the same; a lot of bite,
especially with Confuse Ray, but not particularly damaging.


	After, head all the way north to take on Skier Lexie.

 ___________
|Skier Lexie|
 ��|���������

	Continue on north again to take on Black Belt Luke.

 _______________
|Black Belt Luke|
 ���������������
	If you do not have a Psychic-type on hand again to kick the stuffing out
of Croagunk, bring in a Flying-type who, although not as effective, should still
be able to deal a finishing blow to Croagunk within two hits. The same two types
should also apply for when taking on Machoke. Although neither of them are
effective against Onix, you should still have a plethora of Pok�mon in your
arsenal that can effectively defeat it; in addition to the common Grass, Water,
and Rock-type Pok�mon, you may also choose to use either of the Ice-types that
you can now capture here on Route 216 and 217 (Snover and Sneasel).


	Head east and north again to take on the last trainer of Route 217, Ace
Trainer Olivia.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Olivia|
 ������������������
	And as we come to wind down Route 217, we get a Trainer who actually is
not that difficult, and uses types that we are used to seeing - Grass and Water.
Start out with a Flying-type if you have one (particularly because you may wish
to be levelling it up, as it has likely fallen behind several of your other
types). Try to take Roselia out quickly, too, so you do not suffer damage if you
switch out because of Toxic Spikes. Once it falls, bring in a Grass or Electric-
type to damage Seaking. If you do not have one of those, then do not worry -
Seaking still is not that strong, so you can basically get away with using any
non-Fire/Rock/Ground type for battling it.


	From here, head north into the Acuity Lakefront.

----------------
Acuity Lakefront
----------------
	Try to head north and into the lake itself, and you will be blocked by
two Galactic members. Instead, head right through the grass patches. Just before
you hit the entrance to Snowpoint City, however, head north to grab an Ultra
Ball lying on the ground, then head to Snowpoint.

southeast and getting supplies from the Pok�mart in the southwest, we now must

	Note that for this Gym, I will first direct you on how to get to every
Trainer first, then on how to get to the Gym Leader. If you wish to skip the
Trainers, just go down to the directions after the six trainer strategies, and I
will also indicate when you land up right next to a Trainer.

	Anyways, from the start of the Gym, line yourself up to the right side
of the left statue, then go straight north. At the top, right underneath the Gym
Leader's plateau, move left to take on Ace Trainer Alicia.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Alicia|
 ������������������
	No real attention needs to be especially paid to Sneasel; as always, a
couple (or even lone) of strong Fire or Fighting-type attacks can put it out of
commission for the rest of the battle.

	However, with Tentacruel you may have a problem. No longer can you use a
Grass-type Pok�mon, as it is a Water/Poison type, with the latter subtype making
Grass-type attacks very ineffective (not to mention that your Pok�mon will be
weak to Poison Jab, which is actually fairly powerful in addition to being
capable of poisoning you). Additionally, Barrier raises its Physical Defense,
which means some of the conventional Electric-attacks will do less damage
(Thunderbolt and Thundershock, however, are Special Attacks). If you must, you
may choose to bring in a Psychic type to dominate Tentacruel through its Poison
subtype.


	Head right to take on Ace Trainer Anton.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Anton|
 �����������������
	Anton's lone Pok�mon is a Snover, who you should have a fair amount of
practice with by now; simply bring in a Fire-type Pok�mon to absolutely dominate
and take out Snover in one hit. There is a new move you may wish to watch out
for - Snover's Wood Hammer, although it does half damage, still does base 120
damage on its own, and so can still be fairly powerful even when halved (unless,
of course, you manage to strike and kill it first in one turn).


	From here now start going left, down, down, left, left, down, left,
left, left, and up to take on Ace Trainer Sergio.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Sergio|
 ������������������
	Taking on Sergio is basically a reversal of your situation with Alicia;
instead of starting out with a Fire/Fighting-type Pok�mon, bring in a Grass or
Electric-type to fight Floatzel. As it relies solely on Water, Normal and Dark-
type attacks, you should not have too much of a problem in taking it out. Once
it falls, Sergio will call in a Sneasel - the classic Fire or Fighting-type will
finish it off in short notice.

	Head right a long distance, north a long distance, and then left to take
on Ace Trainer Savannah.

 ____________________
|Ace Trainer Savannah|
 ��������������������
	Come out strong with an Electric-type to clip Pelipper's wings (who is a
Water/Flying type, and therefore 4x weak to Electric-type attacks). It should
basically offer no resistance, unless your Electric-type is slower than Pelipper
and gets confused by Water Pulse (in which case, after you have defeated
Pelipper, switch out for another Pok�mon. If it is Golduck Savannah send sout
next, switch back to your Electric-type; otherwise, go to somebody able to
combat Steelix).

	Although Steelix is out of place with all the Ice and Water-types in the
Gym, it should not be too difficult to combat him - not only do you likely have
a Fire and Fighting-type on hand, but you can also go grab somebody that you
used from the last gym to do your bidding for you if lacking the former two.
Overall, basically just a repetition of last Gym (but once again, watch out for
Rock Tomb if using a Fire-type).

	With Golduck, bring in the Electric-type you may have used against
Pelipper, or a Grass-type. Lacking either, bring in someone element-neutral to
him to defeat Golduck.


	Head left, north, left, south, right, right, south, right, and right
again to take on Ace Trainer Isaiah.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Isaiah|
 ������������������
	For some reason, Quagsire, despite being a Water/Ground type, is not
weak to Flying-type attacks. Nevertheless, if you cannot get a Grass-type
Pok�mon or Grass-type attack (4x to Quagsire, 6x with STAB), try to bring in a
Flying-type, as then Quagsire will be unable to use Earthquake. Aside from that,
watch out for if Quagsire uses Yawn, as when he strikes you with Water Pulse,
you will then fall asleep. On the other hand, this is easily rectified by a
quick Awakening and then striking back.

	From here, head left, left, south, left, left, south, left, left, south,
left, left, south, south, and right back to the entrance of the gym. Line up
right next to the left statue, then head north, left, north, left, south, right,
right, and south again to take on the last of the Aces, Ace Trainer Brenna.

 __________________
|Ace Trainer Brenna|
 ������������������
	And so, we end off our sextet with a lone Snover. Given that you should
have had a decent amount of pratice by now in fighting them, you may realize
your only real task; start out with a Fire-type. After that, everything
basically falls into place.


	After, head left, south, left, left, south, south and right to the
entrance for almost the last time (if you took your time battling all the
trainers, of course).

	To get to the Gym leader, first head to be right of the left statue,
then slide along the ice going north. Slide back south again, then go to the
opposite side of the small space you have at the entrance, then slide north
again to break another three snowballs in the central crevasse. Head right from
here and up the stairs, then slide right and north again to the northeast
corner.

	Slide left from here onto one of the piles of the snow, then slide onto
the left one of the two piles. Slide to your left this time to crush the lower
central snowball, then head left up the stairs, south, left up some more stairs,
south, south, and right again. Line up on the left side here, then go straight
north, left, north, left, south, right, right, and south. Head right from here
to break the second-last snowball in the center area, then move left and south
again until you reach the upper-left strip of ice (where Ace Trainer Sergio  and
the southwest corner is). Head north to run into the right-most of two
snowballs, then go down to the right to break another snowball.

	Head to the southwest corner now via all the stairs, and exit out onto
the entrance again. Go up north via the leftern side, but this time, go all the
way to the northwest corner, then slide down south twice to run into a snowball.
Head right from here to break another snowball. Continue right once you fall
into the pile of snow, then go right onto the staircase, then right and up into
the northeast corner. Head left to the right-most of the two piles of snow, then
slide down into another pile of snow. Navigate your way back to the entrance,
then take the path that you would normally use to get to the northwest corner.
THIS TIME, however, once you run into Ace Trainer Alicia (you being on the right
side of her), slide south to a pile of snow, then move right to break the center
snowball.

	Navigate back to the southwest corner, but this time, go onto the snow
pile that is two tiles north and one tile east of the Ace Trainer, and from
here, head right across the ice to the opposite side. Go down one pile of snow,
then head left to break the last snowball. Now go back to the entrance, and this
time head down the middle through all the staircases to challenge the leader of
this gym, Gym Leader Candice.

 __________________
|Gym Leader Candice|
 ������������������
	Although arguably not the easiest Gym battle in the game, this may be
the easiest strategy for me to write and for you, the reader to digest. Start
out with a Fire-type to take on Candice's Snover; if you have any such
techniques, raise your attack or Special Attack first (or use an X Attack);
failing that, try to bring down the opponent's own Defense/Special Defense. This
all depends on whether your own major Fire attack is a Physical or Special
attack. Why are you doing this? Snover knows Avalanche, whose power doubles if
you attack Snover first before he counters you with it. Obviously, a one-strike
kill is VERY preferable. If you were able to KO both Snovers in this gym so far,
however, you can probably get away with taking out this Snover.

	However, you DEFINITELY need to either wear down Abomasnow's (the
evolution of Snover) Special/Defense or raise your own Special/Attack. This is
simple logic; Abomasnow takes much more power to go down, as not only is it
several levels stronger than Snover, it also gets decently stronger stats for
having evolved. You might be able to take it out in one hit early on, with a
critical hit - otherwise, you are open to being hit with an extremely powerful
Avalanche (of course, this only works if you are utilizing a balanced team - if
you powerleveled a Fire Pok�mon to Level 50, then never mind this). However,
other than that, there is nothing new to Abomasnow - its moveset is basically a
portmanteau of earlier Snover attacks plus Avalanche.

	Sneasel is fairly easy to deal with unless you are bringing in your
Fire-type from the last two battles with Snover and Abomasnow, in which case it
may be a good idea to restore your Pok�mon up to protect against being fainted
by Rock Smash. However, once you go on the counterattack (using either Fire or
Fighting-type), there is simply no comparison - by stats, Sneasel is a fairly
average Pok�mon, and it receives no STAB bonus from Rock Smash, the only truly
threatening combination being a fully-powered Avalanche against a Fighting-type
(in which case you may wish to again bring down Sneasel's Defense or raise your
own attack if you are not confident in your ability to score a one-hit kill).
Taunt, of course, pretty much wastes one of Sneasel's moves, as usually its
sentence has come in once Taunt is used.

	Medicham may actually be Candice's strongest Pok�mon; you cannot use
Flying-types against it for more than one turn because of Ice Punch, and
Confusion can take out your Fighting-types, while your Fire-types may be too
damaged to really do battle. As such, you will have to rely on your backups. If
you have a non-Poison Ghost-type, bring it in to start as Medicham is still weak
to Ghost-type attacks. Otherwise, choose whoever you need to and go through a
series of wearing down Medicham's stats (if you have two or three good backups)
and then ending it with your second or third Pok�mon, or else try to go for an
all-out attack and end it off with your first choice.


	After the battle, Candice will award you the Icicle Badge, along with
TM72. Exit out of the Gym. Outside, recover up at the Pok�mon Center, then head
back onto the Acuity Lakefront. Go west to where the two Galactic Grunts were
blocking you from going before; now that you have the Icicle Badge, they will
step aside for you. Enter.

	Watch the scene. Afterwards, you can surf and head to the northeast side
of the lake to grab TM14 and an Ultra Ball. Once done, Fly to Veilstone City,

head north up some stairs to where a Team Galactic Grunt should be standing next
to an antennae. Talk to him, and he will run off, leaving behind the Storage Key
for you. Now head to the Galactic HeadQuarters, which is in the northwest corner
of the city, right next to the entrance to Veilstone City. Head up the stairs
behind the Veilstone department store to go inside.

	Inside, use your newly-gotten Storage Key to open the front door. Once
you have managed to make it through, pick up the Pok�ball for a Dusk Stone. Head
downstairs. Here, ignore the Scientist wandering around to your north, and
instead head all the way east to take on the first Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1|
 ���������������������
	By this point in time, you should have a bevy of Pok�mon types that can
help you deal with Golbat; Electric-type, Rock-type and Psychic-types all
dominate here. Additionally, since your trip through the northern reaches of the
Sinnoh region has opened up the Ice-type profile for you, if you have one on
hand, Golbat is weak to that as well. As usual, the only real thing to watch out
for is Confuse Ray; depending on how strong your Pok�mon are getting, you may
want to bring somebody who specializes in Special Attacks that do not have
strong physical Attack stats, as they will not inflict much damage to his or her
self if they hurt his or her self in confusion.


	Afterwards, head east slightly, then go north into the storage room and
pick up a Zinc from the Pok�ball. Exit out, then head east some more to take on
the second Galactic Grunt in this building.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	Flying or Fire is probably what you may wish to start off with against
Dustox; however, if you have anyone using Ground-type attacks in your party who
also knows a Rock-type attack, use that instead. You REALLY need to level up
anybody with Ground-type attacks relatively quickly, as it will be important
relatively quickly.

	In the second part of the battle, keep in/bring in a Fire-type to go up
against the wall that is Bronzor. Gyro Ball, being a Steel-type attack, will do
minimal amounts of damage to your Fire-type, and even if you are using
Infernape, Extrasensory should not do that much damage. If the Bronzor proves to
have Heatproof, then switch over to anyone using a Ground-type (or if your own
Infernape has Earthquake, use that).


	Continue on past him up the staircase. Ignore the Grunt on the next
floor, and advance up again. On the First floor again, head around the cubicle
to take on the third Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 3|
 ���������������������
	Bring in a Fighting-type to take out Glameow before it has a chance to
strike first; as always, it becomes very annoying to fight it should you wait
too long to take it out. Failing having anybody with a Fighting-type attack on
hand, someone who is a Ghost or Rock-type (the type, not having an actual attack
of that affinity) should be good, as Glameow's offense is either weakened or
negated against these two types. From there, just drudge onwards until you take
out Glameow.


	Take the right warp portal after the battle to pick up TM49, then head
back and take the left portal. Continue on to another portal in the southeast
corner of the next room, then head up the stairs. Upstairs, loop around left and
take the portal (ignoring the Grunt for now), then go down the stairs in the
next room. Head left and take on the scientist sitting at the table, Scientist
Fredrick.

 __________________
|Scientist Fredrick|
 ������������������
	If you have a Dark or non-Poison Ghost-type, you should probably
consider bringing it in here to get some experience against Fredrick's two
Kadabras, as you will not be finding very many opportunities to level up either
type for a long time. The Dark-type will have a total immunity to Psybeam and
Psycho Cut, and if ANY Pok�mon gets hit by Psycho Cut, do not worry too much -
it is a physical attack as opposed to a special, and Kadabra's attack stats
typically suck. Even if you do not have Dark or Ghost, you can typically get
away with anything not weak to Psychic, as a Kadabra and Psybeam combination is
not quite powerful enough just yet to slaughter everything you pitch their way.


	After, continue on down the staircase past the Scientist. Down below in
the basement, head west along the hallway, and pick up first TM36, and then the
Galactic Key. Subsequently, you can now open the nearby door, and as such, go
back to the Pok�mon Center and heal up. After doing that (if so desired), head
back up a few stairs and a portal, then head right to take on another Team
Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 4|
 ���������������������
	Ah, the Wurmple - Cascoon - Dustox line of Pok�mon. Wurmple and Cascoon
should not be too difficult to take out; they are both relatively low stats due
to not being evolved to their full potential, with Cascoon not being even able
to attack while Wurmple can only use really weak attacks (the only threat being
the possibility of poison). When it comes to Dustox again, him being a part
Poison-type gives you a good opportunity to train up anybody with Ground-type
attacks. Failing that, Fire, Flying, Rock or Psychic-types all still work in
dealing with it.


	Once done, head up the staircase, then head left and talk to the Grunt
at the corner of the room to take on yet another Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 5|
 ���������������������
	And here is one of the reasons why you need to raise a Ground-
type/someone with a Ground-type attack if you have not already. As always,
Stunky is a very annoying Pok�mon, being Dark/Poison, meaning its only weakness
is to the Ground-type. Stunky is a pretty useful tank, being able to use both
SmokeScreen to lower your accuracy and Toxic to cause a Poison status that
increases in its own ability to rob you of HP every turn. Its other attacks can
do decent amounts of damage, along with having high Critical Rates, but its
status as a wall is what is annoying. Dark/Poison types (Stunky and its
evolution, Skuntank, along with Drapion) and Bronzors who have the ability
Heatproof are all the reasons you will NEED a Ground-type soon (along with an
Electric gym coming up).


	Continue on down south and west to take on the final Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 6|
 ���������������������
	Even if Bronzor has Heatproof as an ability, bring your Fire-type in
nevertheless to fight. Even using an Infernape, Bronzor's Extrasensory should
not do much damage to you, and Gyro Ball will be an ineffective attack. Confuse
Ray has the potential to do some damage overall, but if you fight through it,
you should be able to end up the eventual victor (never mind that this is
basically the last battle in this area, so you will not need to worry about
running low on health).

	For Stunky, switch out to your Ground-type. It is basically a repeat of
the last battle, so take it out quickly.


	Head down to the end of the hallway, and open the door using your
Galactic Key. Grab TM21 off the floor inside the newly-accessible room; however,
as this is all you can do inside the warehouse, head back to the entrance. Heal
up at the Pok�mon Center if needed, then go to where you originally got the
Storage Key, and head up through the middle door.

	Inside, open up the steel door using the Galactic Key, then head up the
stairs. One floor up, head right and talk to the left Galactic Grunt to take on
the first of many.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1|
 ���������������������
	This is basically a repetition of your first fight in the previous part
of the Galactic Headquarters. Just bring out the usual repertoire, ie. Ice,
Rock, Electric or Psychic and take out both of the Golbats.


	Talk to the other Grunt to take on the second of the duo.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	With basically the exact same moveset and levels as the last battle,
bring in your previous Pok�mon to fight the Galactic Grunt's lone Golbat.
Afterwards, you should be going into battle against a Silcoon; however, I have
not yet seen it use anything other than Harden once, so I assume that it lacks
any attacks. As such, pound away with any attacks it is weak to - Fire, Flying,
Rock, etc.


	Continue on until you can head up, and go into a small room. Talk to the
researcher to take on Scientist Darrius.

 _________________
|Scientist Darrius|
 �����������������
	Basically bring anything not weak to Psychic into the combination to
fight against Kadabra. If you have a Dark-type on hand, Kadabra can use Miracle
Eye, which negates the Dark-types complete resistance to Psychic-type attacks;
however, if you can get a strong (preferably Physical-oriented) Dark attack in
while it uses Miracle Eye, you can basically take it out before it can attack.


	Head out back into the main hallway after and go east some more. This
time, take the bottom portal, then continue walking far east to another warp
portal. Pick up the Max Revive, then go all the way back to where you fought
Scientist Darrius. Walk into the portal in this small room here, then recover up
at the beds in the next room if need be before going up the staircase. Upstairs,
talk to the top Grunt to take on Galactic Grunt number three.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 3|
 ���������������������
	Since you have fought Croagunks a hundred and one times before, you
should know the pattern by now. Bring in a strong and quick Psychic type to
devastate the Grunt's Croagunk in one hit before it can strike. As always, watch
out for Sucker Punch, and heal up after the battle if you have to.

	Once again, you should run into a difficult battle against Stunky. Bring
out your Ground-type/Ground-type attack user to square off against it, and, as
always, watch out for Toxic to make sure you do not take too much damage from it
before battle end.

	Once again, it is the usual for your battle against Glameow - bring in a
strong Fighting-type. As always, lacking that a Ghost-type or Rock-type can
still cause some good damage while not taking much in return.


	Talk to the other Grunt to take on the last of the Grunts in Veilstone.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 4|
 ���������������������
	This is another battle that should be basically repetitive of early
battles. Stunky? Use a Ground-type. Croagunk? Use a Psychic type, and, failing
that, Flying or Earth type. All in all, just commit to the same basic strategies
against these Pok�mon as you always do and you can win relatively easily.


	After, head down all the way south, then enter the middle platform here.
On the other side, grab an Elixir, then head back. This time, take the left-most
warp tile, then head up the stairs. Open the door with the Galactic Key, then
head in to go toe-to-toe with the boss of Team Galactic himself.

 __________________
|Team Galactic Boss|
 ������������������
	The Galactic's boss first Pok�mon is a Murkrow, and it is probably the
most difficult to beat. Being that it is a Dark/Flying type, you will not be
able to cause super-effective damage against it using Fighting-type attacks.
Instead, you should probably focus on hitting its Flying subtype. In effect,
these are Rock, Electric and Ice-type attacks. My personal recommendation for
this battle is using a Rock-type if you have one; Rock Pok�mon usually have high
Physical Defense, and three quarters of Murkrow's attacks are Physical-type,
with Wing Attack and Drill Peck also only causing 0.5x damage. If you can get by
these (even if using Electric or Ice) you can usually win the match, so long as
Murkrow does not spam its trump card, Night Shade (a Ghost-type attack that
causes damage to you equal to your level) and outlast you in a battle of
attrition.

	After that, it is quite relatively simply to win. Golbat usually falls
within two hits to anything it is weak to (Ice, Electric, Psychic or Rock) and
Bite usually cannot kill a Psychic-type in one hit unless you are severely
underlevelled. In the same vein, Sneasel falls quickly to a Fighting-type
attack, being 4x weak to Fighting attacks (6x if it is a STABed attack).


	After, you shall obtain the Master Ball. Follow him and enter the warp
portal, then go down the long hallway east and north to come into a chamber.
Here, you shall face off against Commander Saturn again.

 ________________
|Commander Saturn|
 ����������������
	Kadabra basically requires either a Dark-type, somebody with solid
Special Defense that knows a Dark or Ghost-type attack, or somebody with a
ridiculously overpowered Special Defense. You will probably want to go with the
Dark-type, and, if you have to, with the Pok�mon who knows a Dark or Ghost-type.
Why? This is because Kadabra uses Psychic, which is basically 1.5x as strong as
Psybeam, and will much more easily put any one of your Pok�mon out of commission
with one hit. A Dark-type will level the field to your side because Psychic
attacks do not affect Dark types, and Kadabra does not know Miracle Eye. Again,
bring in someone else who knows a Dark/Ghost-type move, and then resort to using
a STABed attack should Kadabra use Disable on you. Also noted is to make the
affair quick, as Kadabra can just use Recover to restore most of its HP.

	Bronzor is not really easier, but at least it is still established in
routine. Bring in a Fire-type, litmus test the Bronzor to see if it knows
Heatproof or Levitate. If it knows Heatproof, switch over to a Ground-type/use a
Ground-type attack if you feel it is necessitated; otherwise, continue pounding
away with Fire-type attacks.

	Toxicroak is once again a hazard, as being evolved means its Sucker
Punch is much more powerful. If you are using the Abra-line or any other
Psychic-type that knows Reflect, USE IT FIRST. Everything Toxicroak knows is a
Phsyical attack (including Sucker Punch), so you can strike in the second turn
and not be worried about being knocked out by a Sucker Punch. Failing being able
to use your Psychic-type, bring in a Flier and take out Toxicroak instead; it
has nothing that can do critical damage to your bird.


	Once the final battle is over, press the button, then head back along
the hallway back into the boss's room in the Veilstone headquarters. Head south
from your position into a special one-way green teleport tile that will take you
outside.


	To get to the part of Mt. Coronet you need to from here, first head to
Oreburgh City. Head north onto Route 207, then go up the sandfall via your bike.
Head east from here to go inside Mt. Coronet.

     �������������������������������������������������������������������������

	Inside, head straight north and hop on one of your Pok�mon to surf
across the water. On the opposite side, head up the staircase and open the
Pok�ball for a Protein. Head back down the stairs, then go down and right. Use
Rock Climb to head up the rocks to the top of the plateau, then go north and
exit out into the next room.

	In here, head north and left. Grab the Pok�ball nearby containing a Max
Potion if you wish; afterwards, continue on your trip left and south, and go
south until you hit a dead end for an Escape Rope. Go back north slightly from
the Escape Rope to find some more stairs to go up, and loop around the bridge
counterclockwise. Go south as soon as you can up some stairs to grab TM80, then
go the opposite way and up north some more staircases. Grab a Revive to your
left of this position, then head up some more stairs and east across a bridge.
Loop around clockwise and go down two floors, and continue heading west until
you come to an exit out of the room, and take it into the next section of the
dungeon.

	In this next room, simply head up the stairs and then go up some more
stairs to your right. Do not bother taking the next set of stairs going down
here (unless you want to claim a Max Revive from one of the rocks); instead,
head up to take on the first of the Galactic Grunts.

	Beautifly, being a Flying/Bug type has 4x weakness to Rock-type attacks.
However, given that it knows Giga Drain, you might not want to bring in your own
Pok�mon if it is a Rock/Ground type, thanks to it having 4x weakness in turn.
However, if it is only Rock or only Ground (or neither of them), then you can
get away with that. Besides that, Beautifly is weak to Fire, Flying, Ice and
Electric-type attacks; if your team is stocked with those kinds of attacks, then
you should have no worries about if Beautifly uses Whirlwind, which changes out
your Pok�mon for a different one in the party at random. Gust, of course, is an
ineffective attack, being perhaps the weakest Flying-type attack in the game.


	Loop around counterclockwise after the battle to take the second of the
pair in the lower levels of Mt. Coronet.

	Once again, you will have to take on a Bronzor, which is again
relatively painful. Bring out your Fire-type and litmust test it - if it proves
to take too long to damage it, then simply switch out for somebody using a
Ground-type attack (if your Fire-type does not already know a Ground-type
attack).


	Continue on south until you make it outside.

	Outside, Hail conditions will be in place again, so obviously you will
not want to bring out Pok�mon that are in their dying breaths.

	At the top of the mountain, head right (for here, it does not matter if
you go up the stairs or not; each will take you to the same end-point, but the
stairs path has no grass patches, so you will not encounter any wild Pok�mon).
Once you make it to the wall at the end, use Rock Climb to head up to the top.
Do not bother Rock Climbing up again or going into the cavern to your right;
neither will lead you any further (especially since you do not have Waterfall
yet) unless you want to grab Dowsing Machine items (namely, a TinyMushroom,
Ultra Ball, and Nugget). If you do not, then go left and head up the stairs.
Traverse the entire grass patch until you get to the northwest corner of it, and
enter the cavern to head into Mt. Coronet once more.

	Use Rock Climb again inside, then head forth to take on the first
Galactic Grunt that you will meet on the mountain peaks.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 1|
 ���������������������
	Do not bother using a Psychic-type for this battle; both Dustoxes know
Light Screen, which will temporarily raise the Special Defense of the Grunt's
entire team. Instead, focus on using Rock-types, Fire-types, Flying-types or
Ground-types for the two Dustoxes, utilizing Physical attacks so that you are
not affected by the Light Screen. Even if you get Whirlwinded out, continue the
barrage. The same goes for when the Galactic Grunt brings out his Golbat; do not
bother attacking his Poison subtype with Psychic attacks, but rather use
Electric, Rock, Ice, the works on his Flying subtype.


	Head right from your first battle to fight another Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 2|
 ���������������������
	Come out strong again with your Ground-type/user to take on Stunky, and
do not let up until he falls (even if you are hit with Toxic; if that is the
case, use an Antidote on yourself after the battle). Once Stunky falls, bring in
your usual Golbat counter and finish the battle off.


	Head down south along the stairs, then right and outside again. Here,
head north and east, then go down the stairs and head north. Use Rock Climb to
head up the left wall. Head left and down the stairs. Now, you have two ways you
can go; you can simply head left down and up some more stairs before coming to a
cavern, or you can use Strength on the nearby boulder, head to the far outer
ledge, and then loop around 'till you hit the cavern. Either way, you should end
up going back inside.

	In the first room, simply head down and right until you emerge up into
the next area. Head, go up the stairs to take on yet another Galactic Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 3|
 ���������������������
	Per se the usual strategy, bring in a Fire-type to defeat Bronzor. If
Bronzor proves to have the ability Heatproof, and you are not satisfied with the
amount of damage your Fire-type is causing, switch to someone who uses a Ground-
type attack (if your Fire-type does not already). All in all, the usual tactic.

	Against Glameow, the same goes. Use a Fighting-type, and where you have
a lack of that, use a Ghost or Rock-type to cover for you and defeat Glameow.


	Continue up to take on another Grunt.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 4|
 ���������������������
	Once again, you basically have a repetition of the same tactics as
usual. Given that it's a Bronzor and Golbat with basically the exact same
movesets as you have seen before, just come in with your usual and pound them to
dust, then move on to the next Grunt.


	Head left and up the stairs into the next room. Head north in here to
get into a face-off with the last of the regular Grunts.

 _____________________
|Team Galactic Grunt 5|
 ���������������������
	It is basically the same old, same old once again as you take on Golbat,
Glameow and Bronzor. Start off with your anti-Golbat Pok�mon, then continue
doing as you normally do to fight off the other two and end the battle.


	Outside (in an area known as Spear Pillar), head north up the stairs to
take on two Grunts at once in a double battle.

 ___________________________________________________________
|Team Galactic Grunt and Team Galactic Grunt (Double Battle)|
 �����������������������������������������������������������
	Start out hard with a Ground-type Pok�mon to battle Stunky. I would also
recommend using a Psychic-type to fight Dustox. As such, when the Grunts change
out for Croagunk and Glameow, you can use the Psychic-type to inflict a one hit
kill on Croagunk, and set up for a two-on-one battle with Glameow. After that,
the battle is relatively easy, with the only real threats in this battle being
Croagunk's Sucker Punch and Glameow's constant use of Hypnosis.


	Head up, and watch a cutscene. Afterwards, confront Commanders Mars and
Jupiter; for this double battle, you will be assisted by your Rival, who shows
up in the nick of time.

 __________________________________________________
|Commander Mars & Commander Jupiter (Double Battle)|
 ��������������������������������������������������
	For this battle and this battle only, you will be joined in the double
battle by your rival. Unfortunately, Munchlax is not a very good Pok�mon,
especially as none of its moves are really decent in fighting the two Bronzors.
To get around this, simply bring in your Fire-type and try to take out Mars'
Bronzor first; Munchlax should be used as a wall basically so that not all of
the attacks are directed towards you. Do not worry about if Munchlax falls, as
your Rival also has a Staraptor, Heracross, and then two of Ponyta, Buizell,
Roselia (the odd one out is the one with the same element as your rival's
Starter) and then either Infernape, Empoleon or Torterra. As such, you could
actually outlast your two opponents if you wished simply because you have 2x the
Pok�mon.

	After you defeat the first Bronzor, try to focus on the second - as
walls, they become very annoying very quickly, so take it down fast before it
acts as a cover for its tag-team partner. Once they both come down, however, it
is a pretty simple battle of weaknesses. If you do not have a fast or a high-
level Fighting-type, you may wish to bring in somebody who knows a Fighting-type
move but is NOT a Fighting-type. This is thanks to Purugly's Aerial Ace, which
is a fairly powerful Flying-type move. The two Golbats also know Air Cutters,
which may cut you down to pieces quickly. If, however, your own Pok�mon is fast
enough or has enough HP, you can likely afford to take down Purugly without
fainting first.

	Skuntank has a new move in its arsenal - Flamethrower. Thankfully, it
should not be too much of a trouble against anybody with a Ground-type move,
especially as Skuntank's attack is usually higher than its Special Attack. You
should watch out though for the relative increase in power that it has gained
from evolving - do not underestimate it.

	The Golbats are not too bad, however. If you got this far, then you
should have an effective strategy for disposing of both of them, so bring it out
and let it loose on them to take the win and end the battle.


	After the face-off, Rival will heal your Pok�mon, and you will face off
against the Galactic Boss once more.

 ������������������
	The boss's Pok�mon have all been levelled up, but, as always, the
biggest threat to your team is his first. Honchkrow is the evolved form of
Murkrow, and along with higher levels and an upgraded moveset, is much more
dangerous than before. Because of Steel Wing, you should probably avoid bringing
in Rock-types for this battle. Instead, focus on using Ice or Electric-type
attacks (preferably Ice, as you may want to save your Electric-type for later in
the battle). Also watch for Drill Peck and Dark Pulse, as they can still be
pretty powerful and capable of knocking out anybody with lower levels in one
hit.

	Gyrados may be a loose cannon as always, but once again, that is only if
you allow it to hit. Bring in anybody using an Electric-type attack that is also
quicker than Gyrados, and take it out in one hit. It may be threateningly
powerful, but not when it falls before it can even strike.

	Weavile might be a bit difficult to fell, but it should not be. Once
again, it has a dual weakness to fighting attacks, meaning you can cause 4x
damage to it, or 6x damage with a STABed attack.  Furthermore, he brings nothing
into the battle to really be able to counter Fighting-types; both Night Slash
and Faint Attack are Dark-type attacks, and Brick Break and Focus Punch
Fighting-type attacks, all of which cause ineffective damage against your own
fighters.

	The last Pok�mon of the day is Crobat. While much stronger than any of
the Golbats you have faced before, it is basically a downgraded version of
Honchkrow in the ease with which you can kill it. If you could defeat Honchkrow,
then you can defeat Golbat; both Rock-types and Psychic-types are added to the
list of Pok�mon that you can use to defeat this Flier, so strike away. However,
if Crobat uses Confuse Ray, then do not hesitate to switch out - not only can it
be somewhat annoying, but you also must conserve as much strength on each of
your Pok�mon for the upcoming battle.


	After, capture Dialga or Palkia. You can usually get by using a Timer
Ball after a number of turns or a Dusk Ball (if it is nighttime) as opposed to
an Ultra Ball - the catch rate for the two is not as bad as Legendaries usually
are, but you may still take some time before you can get the Legendary. Pick up
the item behind it after to get either the Adamant Orb (Diamond) or Lustrous Orb
(Pearl). Once you exit from Spear Pillar and into the regular cave, you can
simply use an Escape Rope to head back to the beginning of the cave.

	Now, you have a few options as to what to do next. You may choose to
capture the three Lake Pok�mon (Usprit, Mexie, and Azelf) as they have now
returned to the caves at each of the lakes. However, this is optional, and for
now the walkthrough will proceed straight onto Route 222. Before going, I would
HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing in a Grass-type, as you will basically NEED one from
now until the end of the regular game.

	To get to Route 222, head to Pastoria City, and travel until you make it
shortly past the restaurant. Instead of going north, this time, head east; where
you were formerly blocked by a man from continuing, now you can proceed onwards.

	In case you missed my earlier note, you will probably want to start
bringing along a Grass-type in your journey if you do not already; doing so
shall make life MUCH easier for the rest of the regular game. Anyways; head east
along the path until you hit the sign, then go north to take on Rich Boy Trey.

 _____________
|Rich Boy Trey|
 �������������
	And, of course, your first match should be against a Luxio. Either a
Grass or Ground-type can suffice here, as Electric attacks are respectively
ineffective and negated by those two types, and you can especially pound Luxio
in return with a Ground-type attack. Watch out for its secondary effect, Crunch,
however; despite it not being STABed, it can still be a fairly powerful Physical
attack backed up by Luxio's decent Physical Attack stats.


	From where Rich Boy Trey is, go north of his position and right down the
stairs. Head south a bit and head along the ledge to pick up a Honey at the end,
then backtrack and go up the second set of staircases to take on Beauty Nicola.

 _____________
|Beauty Nicola|
 �������������
	Beauty Nicola utilizes a Lopunny, the evolution of Buneary, which
certainly is not something that you have seen before. However, it basically
operates on near the exact same principles as fighting a Glameow - it is a
Normal type Pok�mon, so if you have somebody using a Fighting-type attack, send
it out to slaughter Lopunny in one hit. Where lacking a Fighting-type user,
bring in a Ghost-type or Rock-type; all of Lopunny's moves being Normal (and
thus ineffective), so you should have no problem attacking with ease.


	Head straight right from Nicola two staircases and talk to the man
overlooking the cliff to obtain TM56, which teaches Fling. Backtrack to where
you first spotteed Rich Boy Trey. Head onto the beach and talk to the first
Fisherman to fight Fisherman Alec.

 ______________
|Fisherman Alec|
 ��������������
	Magikarp being Magikarp, you can basically use anything you want on it
for some fodder experience. As always, bring in an Electric-type for fighting
Gyrados. When going up against Gyrados, do not hesitate over its use of Hydro
Pump - Hydro Pump is a Special attack, and Gyrados usually have strong Physical
attack (which is the case with this one here), so besides a Water-type being
ineffective against an Electric-type, the original power behind it will not even
be very strong to start.


	Proceed right to take on the next fisherman, Fisherman George.
 ________________
|Fisherman George|
 ����������������
	Remoraid is likely an entity you haven't fought in quite some time (the
only main story example being Fisherman Kenneth all the way back in the Pastoria
City Gym). The same basically goes for Finneon; thankfully, they both use moves
that are fairly ineffective against Grass and Electric-types both, so you should
not have a difficult time fighting them. The only thing of note is Finneon's U-
Turn - after it causes damage to you, it switches out. If Gyrados has not yet
been KO'ed, you may wish to bring in an Electric-type when fighting Finneon,
because if he beats you to the attack and switches out for Gyrados, after the
victory, you can basically use the Grass-type for the rest of the battle.


	Continue to fight Fisherman Brett.

 _______________
|Fisherman Brett|
 ���������������
	Magikarp and Finneon both you should have fought before. However, Feebas
may be an unknown entity for those who have not played Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
before; it is much like a Magikarp in its naturally learned moves and strength,
and so basically goes down with the same ease to both Electric and Grass-type
attacks. The primary difference is what they evolve into; Magikarp into Gyrados,
Feebas into a Milotic, of which you only will see one in the entire regular
game.


	Go over a bit more to take on the last of the Fishermen.

 ______________
|Fisherman Cole|
 ��������������
	Once again, nothing new. A Remoraid and two Gyrados - you know the drill
with zapping the Gyrados.


	A bit east still of your position you should find Tuber Holly, who you
may also choose to battle.

 ___________
|Tuber Holly|
 �����������
	The same goes as the usual for all the pure Water Pok�mon on this route;
bring in a Grass or Electric type, and blast the opposition until they fall. Not
too difficult to follow, but you will probably want to focus on your Grass-type
as much as possible.


	Head all the way east until you hit the stairs at the opposite end of
the beach, then go straight up to take on Sailor Marc.

 ___________
|Sailor Marc|
 �����������
	And here, we face off against a Mantyke. If you have anybody with an
Electric-type attack on hand, bring him or her in; Mantyke has a 4x weakness to
Electric attacks, so you should just be able to blast him out in a single hit.


	Talk to Tuber Conner to the right of Sailor Marc to take on him as well.

 ____________
|Tuber Conner|
 ������������
	A Remoraid again. You should know the drill by now.


	After, head down a bit and then right to take on the last Trainer of
Route 222, Sailor Luther.

 _____________
|Sailor Luther|
 �������������
	Feebas can basically be dealt with the same way as usual. However,
Sailor Luther also has two other Pok�mon that are unconventional for this route
- Machoke and Gastrodon.

	Gastrodon, despite being a Water-type, cannot be defeated by Electric-
types, simply because it is also a Ground-type. However, this dual-type is 4x
weak to Grass attacks, so bring in whoever knows the Grass attcks on your team
to fight. Additionally, its regular Defense is only average, so you may want to
stick to your physical attacks as opposed to Special. Lastly, do not worry about
being hit first; Gastrodon's Speed is abysmal (likely because it IS a slug).

	Machoke, thankfully, is stocked with Fighting-type moves; as such, it is
totally in your court as to whether you want to bring in Flying, Ghost or
Psychic to defeat him, as the Fighting-type attacks will not be effective
against any three of them.


	After the battle, continue south and east through the checkpoint and
into Sunyshore City.

Pok�mart slightly north if needed), head to the entrance of the town and go up
the staircase. Head right, down and right as far as you can and head into the
lighthouse. In here, go up the elevator and at the top, talk to the man at the
binoculars to get him to leave and head off to the Gym. Take a peek where so
desired, then go downstairs and head back outside.

	Head left slightly from the lighthouse, then north and right past a
sailor, and go downstairs to claim a Thunderstone. Head back up, then continue
straight north until you hit the end of the solar panel road, then proceed as
far left as you possibly can to hit the Sunyshore Gym. Talk to the man standing
in front, then enter.

 ________________
|School Kid Tiera|
 ����������������
	And thus, you can see why I encouraged you to start grabbing a Ground
and Grass type. Pachirisu, despite not having an evolution, can still be fairly
powerful, and it will likely start out utilizing Super Fang - this cuts your own
HP directly in half. I highly recommend you attack fast with intent to finish it
off, as Sweet Kiss can confuse, Discharge can paralyze (if not using a Ground-
type) and Charm can sharply reduce your attack. However, if you manage to take a
decent chunk out of Pachirisu's HP in the first hit, you basically have the
battle in the bag; just keep pressing on with an attack (even if it is not
super-effective) and the rodent should fall.


	Head into the next room. In here, head up and right from the start to
take on Guitarist Jerry.

 _______________
|Guitarist Jerry|
 ���������������
	Your battle with Jerry should follow basically the exact same formula as
with Tiera - fight his Electric-type with your own Grass-type/Ground-type,
survive his Pok�mon's attacks, repeat until you win. In this case, Luxio knows
Crunch as a backup move, and it can be fairly powerful - come into this battle
wary, but let loose on any attack you have that can cause super-effective damage
to end it quickly.


	Go back to the front of the room, and get onto the left gear. Click the
switch three times, then head down to the front again and go up the stairs to
the left. Cross the brige, then go into battle against School Kid Forrest.

 __________________
|School Kid Forrest|
 ������������������
	Mr. Mime is nothing too threatening, insofar as long as you do NOT
decide to use a Ground or Rock type in this battle, by virtue of its Energy Ball
attack being a Grass attack (a decently strong Special Attack on Mr. Mime
combined with it being a Special attack means you can be in for a world of
hurt). Otherwise, basically bring in the usual backups, or, if you have any Dark
or non-Poison Ghost-types on hand, you can put them out on the field to
dominate.


	Continue down from Forrest onto the first gear, and click the blue
switch once. Head right and click the green switch once, then head south, right
and up the stairs and across the bridge. Talk to the dressed-up Pikachu to take
on Pok� Kid Meghan.

 _______________
|Pok� Kid Meghan|
 ���������������
	If there is one thing that I will never understand, and that is why
other Pok�mon must use Feint - the move is fairly useless since most will not
even use Protect or Detect in the first place. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend
you put your Ground Pok�mon in place of anything else, as I have not yet seen
the Pikachu use any attack other than Thunder; even if they do use something
else, it is likely to be ineffective, and nothing can cover up for their
inability to attack, as you can just plow away through all four of them with
your own techniques.

	Once the battle is yours, head onwards into the next room. In here, talk
to the guitarist on the front platform to fight Guitarist Lonnie.

 ________________
|Guitarist Lonnie|
 ����������������
	Lonnie's lone Pok�mon, a Raichu, is the evolved form of Pikachu, and is
MUCH more powerful as a result. It also comes complete with some quick and
powerful Normal-type attacks to back up. However, neither of the attacks are
STABed, so you should probably try to continue bringing in a Ground-type and hit
Raichu with attack after attack and hope that it does not use Slam and get a
couple of criticals on you. Should it faint you, switch out to a backup who can
cover you and finish it off.

	Walk onto the middle gear after your fight, then go right and click the
red switch. Walk off the platform, head onto the middle gear again and go left
this time. After you have pressed it once, go south to fight Ace Trainer
Destiny.

 ___________________
|Ace Trainer Destiny|
 �������������������
	If you did not have a difficult time taking on the Mr. Mime a few
battles back, you can probably get away with fighting Destiny's Kadabra using
the same Pok�mon. Kadabra will be much stronger, but some well-placed attacks
(particularly Dark or Ghost) should put it down relatively quickly. After, just
do the usual for your fighting Electric-types.


	Having finished your duel with Destiny (I apologize for that), head left
up the stairs and north to take on Guitarist Preston.

 _________________
|Guitarist Preston|
 �����������������
	The same as usual goes for taking on Preston's Luxio - bring in a
Ground-type, dominate the playing field with Ground-type attacks, show no mercy.

	Bidoof is something you likely have not seen before; however, it is
quite easily solved by virtue of being in unevolved form and its weak stats.
Even if you do not have a Fighting type on hand to destroy it, you can easily
get away with using any of your backups to take the win and hand Bidoof a
defeat.


	From here, go south and click on the green switch twice, then go down
and right to the blue switch. Click on that once, then head north and around
down the stairs to fight Ace Trainer Zachery.

	With Steelix, you should automatically use your Ground-type; because of
Steelix's Steel-type, he is weak to Ground-type attacks. The best part of it is
that he has nothing that can really cause damage to you, with the only threat
being that Rock Throw gets a STAB bonus. Even then, however, Steelix has always
been about his defense, not his offense.

	When coming to Medicham, you can PROBABLY get away with the types that
you have been using all gym; however, I would recommend bringing in one of your
backups partly because you might want to keep them levelled up, and partly
because you need your main Pok�mon in this gym to stay healed up for the Gym
Leader battle ahead (should you not wish to make the arduous trek back to the
Pok�mon Center). Where using a Flying-type, you will probably want to bring in
somebody really fast to outpace Medicham before it can use ThunderPunch to end
your Pok�mon for the battle.


	Head down the bridge to the beginning of room three, and head up the
beginning gears to hit the right red switch once. Go down and across the bridge
past Zachery again, and this time go across the bridges to fight Gym Leader
Volkner.

	Taking the win, you shall receive both the Beacon Badge and TM57. Back
in Sunyshore City, after healing and stocking up on items (bring a Pok�mon who
knows Surf), head to the north end of the city to where there is a small beach.
Here, you should encounter Jasmine (for those who have played
Gold/Silver/Crystal, yes, THAT Jasmine). She should hand over HM07 to you. Teach
it to somebody, then head out onto the water here and into Route 223.

	Head north from the beginning of the route to take on Swimmer Girl
Miranda.

 ____________________
|Swimmer Girl Miranda|
 ��������������������
	To start off, nothing difficult. Lumineon's Safeguard is a staple move
on this route, but it is pretty useless (guards against all status effects) if
you are going for the super-effective attacks route. As a result, Water Pulse is
really all you have to worry about, should you be hit first and confused; even
then, you should likely have the first hit. If it is not enough to take Lumineon
out, then just go for the second strike, even if you are confused.

	Continue north to fight Swimmer Girl Aubree.

 ___________________
|Swimmer Girl Aubree|
 �������������������
	Azurill is some pretty light fare; because of its stature as a baby
Pok�mon, you should be able to eliminate it in one hit. Its attacks are also
fairly weak, with the only real danger being if Bubble slows you down (an
unlikely occurance). Azumarill is the real threat, as not only does it gain a
massive stat boost from being two evolutions above Azurill, but if you let it
linger too long, it can become powerful in its own right between Aqua Ring
(which recovers HP every turn for it) and Rain Dance (which increases power of
Water-type attacks), and even without, its two attacks can still be strong. My
recommendation would be, again, to take it out as quickly as possible and end
the match.


	Proceed north still (and to the left a bit) to fight Swimmer Oscar.

 _____________
|Swimmer Oscar|
 �������������
	Mantyke should not cause any bit of difficulty to you - being a
Flying/Water-type, one Electric attack should finish it off for good. The same
goes for Mantine, Mantyke's evolution (although depending on resilience, its
higher stats and your own levels, it may be able to survive an initial attack.
Unlikely though). Take neither of them lightly though if they are quicker than
you - if you get confused by Water Pulse or Confuse Ray, switch out for somebody
else and then switch out again once you faint the current foe. The same goes for
Remoraid, who is also pretty tame, but lacks a dual-weakness being a pure Water-
type.


	Before moving on, go west through the hole between the rocks next to
Oscar, and swim left and north until you get to some shallows. Grab the Pok�ball
here for TM18. As always, continue your arduous trek northwards. Talk to the
left swimmer to take on Swimmer Girl Paige.

 __________________
|Swimmer Girl Paige|
 ������������������
	Nothing new to see here; Marill is the Pok�mon in-between Azurill and
Azumarill, both of whom you fought earlier. If you could deal with Azumarill,
Marill, who basically uses the same move-set, should be a breeze to defeat.
Wingull also as always is 4x weak to Electricity, so clip its wings quickly to
finish it off. Golduck may be a little more difficult, especially as it uses
Fury Swipes usually as opposed to a Water attack to deal damage. If you have to
do so, I would recommend you switch out to one of your back-ups who isn't weak
to Water-type attacks, as Golduck CAN be a pain to take out and receive damage
from; definitely do so if you think you will run low on PP for attacking with
your regulars for this route.


	Approach the right swimmer to take on Swimmer Colton.

 ______________
|Swimmer Colton|
 ��������������
	Wingull and Pelipper, both being Water/Flying types, are fairly slow
compared to any Electric-type you have, and fall quite easily. All in all, it is
is basically the same strategy as going against Mantyke and Gyrados - come out
with a quick attack to resolve the battle fast with a one-hit KO.

	Quagsire, on the other hand, is a different story. Because Quagsire is a
Water/Ground-type, it will negate any Electric attacks. On the other hand, it is
4x weak to Grass-types as a result, so bring in any user of Grass-attacks.
Overall, thankfully, Quagsire does not have any truly threatening moves, so you
can basically attack without fear of a strong reprisal.


	Head north slightly from Swimmer Girl Paige and approach the next
trainer to fight Swimmer Ricardo.

 _______________
|Swimmer Ricardo|
 ���������������
	Because Ricardo's lone Pok�mon, a Tentacruel, is Water/Poison type, it
is not weak to Grass. However, it DOES gain weakness to two more types - Psychic
and Ground. As such, if you choose to, you may still bring in somebody with an
Electric-type attack to zap it. However, anybody who knows an effective move of
the latter two (such as Earthquake) can also make a pretty big hit here and get
some experience out of an otherwise Electric and Grass-dominating route.


	Head northwest from Ricardo's position, and then straight north once you
hit the wall of rocks to take on Swimmer Wesley.

 ______________
|Swimmer Wesley|
 ��������������
	Nothing new to fight against. Buizel you have probably had experience
with fighting a hundredfold, so bring in your conventional Pok�mon for battling
it. Meanwhile, considering your previous battle with Ricardo and the writeup I
provided, you should have a good idea of how you personally go around fighting
Tentacruel, so continue doing the same and take the win.


	Proceed right from here to go toe-to-toe with Swimmer Girl Crystal, who
is swimming around.

 ____________________
|Swimmer Girl Crystal|
 ��������������������
	As always, kill Wingull with one strong Electric-hit. Once done that,
Crystal will bring out her Seaking. It is entirely possible that Seaking will
survive your first hit depending on level, so if your Electric-type is on its
last breaths, do not bring it out (especially since Seaking using Fury Attack is
usually decently strong). Other than that, though, it's just another usual "Kill
the Water-types" battle.


	Swim north onto the shallows, then go around counterclockwise to obtain
a Pearl from a Pok�ball. Start going clockwise to encounter Sailor Zachariah.

 ________________
|Sailor Zachariah|
 ����������������
	Clip Zachariah's opening Pok�mon, a Pelipper, with a quick Electric-type
attack. As always, being of dual-weakness against Electricity, it should easily
fall within the hit.

	You probably have not fought very many Gastrodon before, so here is a
reminder; they are Water-Ground types, meaning Electricity shall not work on
them. However, they suffer a dual-weakness against Grass-type attacks, so once
again, you can cop out with a cheap quick attack to finish them off with ease.

	Machoke is a different entity than what you are used to on this route.
If you lack for Psychic, Flying, or Ghost, then you can probably get away with
using somebody neutral in relation to him. Make sure that Pok�mon has a strong
Physical Defense or is for the most part still has all their HP - Machoke can be
fairly powerful and viciously strong with his attacks, so you need to take
precautions.


	Loop around the shallows now clockwise (you will have to use Surf in the
process). After you make it to the north side, hop onto your surfing Pok�mon
again and head north to fight Swimmer Girl Gabrielle.

 ______________________
|Swimmer Girl Gabrielle|
 ����������������������
	This is not too bad of a fight - Golduck, despite usually being a decent
Pok�mon, is fairly weak with weaknesses. Although it can normally cause quite a
lot of harm between its physical strength, the use of Screech and Fury Swipes,
if you can take it down quickly, then it is quite harmless. As such, try to
stick to this; should you be able to finish it off in one hit, then Screech will
not even have enough time to be of use (where utilized in the first turn).


	Continue northeast to fight Swimmer Girl Cassandra, who is swimming
around in the water.

 ______________________
|Swimmer Girl Cassandra|
 ����������������������
	There is not really anything new here. As always, Finneon is weak to
both Grass and Electric, and Pelipper doubly so to Electric, so attack away
until they both fall in line one after the other.


	Proceed north to fight Swimmer Troy (who is also the last trainer on
Route 223).

 ____________
|Swimmer Troy|
 ������������
	And you get to end it all off on an easy note, as Troy uses a lone
Gyrados whose trump card is Hydro Pump. As Hydro Pump and Gyrados continue to be
an ineffective combination, come in from behind and take out Gyrados in one hit
using an Electric-type Pok�mon and attack.


	Now, use Waterfall to head up the huge waterfall north of Swimmer Troy.
At the top, you will find a Pok�mon Center. Inside, heal up and change your
Pok�mon where needed. Once done, go inside the nearby cave to enter Victory
Road.

	From the entrance, head north across the ravine via the bridge, then go
down the wall using Rock Climb. Head left to take on Psychic Bryce.

|Psychic Bryce|

	Psychic or Dark both should be used for dealing with the Haunter and
Gengar. If you can get a Psychic-type quicker than Gengar, then the match is as
good as over for those two Pok�mon, as neither of them have Sucker Punch; one
hit from your own will take them out. Even if you are using a slower Dark-type,
you should still be able to rely on the fact that they are not weak to any of
Haunter and Gengar's attacks and finish them off after you are hit.

	With Alakazam, I can guarantee that you WILL have a problem unless you
are using a Dark-type to totally negate his Psychic attacks. This is because of
the sheer Speed and Special Attack that Alakazam possesses, and between Psybeam
and Psychic, he can make life hell for you. If you must, I would recommend you
bring in someone to use stats-reducing moves on him, especially in terms of
accuracy, then switch out to somebody who is competent. Poison or Paralysis is
also VERY useful here.


	Head north from Bryce to pick up TM41, then backtrack up the face of the
cliff. Go right across the first bridge, then head down the stairs and loop
around clockwise to take on Bird Keeper Hana.

 ________________
|Bird Keeper Hana|
 ����������������
	For this battle, you can use any of your regular bird-killers; Ice,
Rock, or Electric. Considering how far you are into the game right now, if you
do not have one of these types, you can probably make do with anyone else that
has a large amount of defence to guard against Take Down, and make Noctowl and
Staraptor little more than nuisances.


	Grab a Full Heal from the opposite side of the bridge neara Hana, then
go back up the stairs and head north across the next bridge. Climb down the
platform using Rock Climb, then head left until you come to some more stairs.
Head north to do battle with Ace Trainer Mariah.

	Golduck should NOT be underestimated; let me make that much clear at the
start. It may be a Water-type, but it will not (likely) fall with one hit from
an Electric or Grass-type unless your own Pok�mon is really high leveled.
Golduck may not have any water attacks, but between a decent speed, Screech and
two Psychic attacks, you may be in a slight bit of trouble. If you have to, wear
down Golduck first with something else before switching in to your regular.
Alternatively, you may also choose to bring in a Dark-type or Steel-type (make
sure it doesn't have a secondary Rock-type attribute), the former of which
Psychic attacks won't affect at all and the latter of which it is ineffective
against.

	Second up will be a Blissey. Blissey is a mixed bag; while it has very
poor Defense and Attack, it makes up for it by having a monstrous HP total (in
the realm of over 400HP) and can use Softboiled to heal over half that damage.
Additionally, Double-Edge allows it to cause a great amount of damage at the
cost of only a fraction of that monstrous amount of HP. Thankfully, because it
usually relies exclusively on this combination of moves (using Double-Edge, then
healing itself with Softboiled), you can use anything that is resistant to
Normal Attacks; Ghost, Rock, or Steel. You can also try to score a one-hit
knockout blow on Blissey by exploiting its VERY LOW Defense by hitting it with a
Fighting-type attack and hoping to take it out. If you have enough speed, you
can probably get the second attack in first if you need it.


	Head left up the stairs, then left again up some bigger stairs to exit
into the next room. In here, break the rock to your left using Rock Smash, push
the first boulder aside using Strength, and push the second one as far right as
possible. To make it across the rocks, you first have to equip your bike, then
go into your second (the faster) gear, and then you have to pull off a tricky
combo; from below the two boulders, you must bike left, then turn up and then
left abruptly to avoid running into the wall and braking Once you make it over,
go into your lower gear and bike off the rock, and pick up a Max Ether.

	Jump off the ledge and (while in second gear) bike across the rocks.
Head down the ledge and this time break the southern two rocks using Rock Smash.
Continue south and push the right boulder south, the left boulder left, and the
southern boulder south to clear a path. Head left as soon as you can and at the
end go up to take on Ace Trainer Omar.

 ________________
|Ace Trainer Omar|
 ��|��������������

	Push the left boulder south of Omar afterwards, then loop around
counterclockwise to break the rock with Rock Smash. Push the same boulder back
north, then head east and south to break another rock. Continue on to take on
Ace Trainer Sydney.

	From here, head right. Push the northern boulder right and head up to
battle Veteran Clayton (the right end leads to a dead end).

 _______________
|Veteran Clayton|
 ��|������������

	Head down into the previous room, then head back up. Go south past
Clayton, then push the southern boulder south one, and go right. Push the
southern boulder here as far right as you can, then go around counterclockwise.
Push the northern boulder left, then break the rock using Rock Smash, and push
the last boulder out of the way south. Bike around the acceleration rocks until
you come to the Double Team Al and Kay.

 ______________________________________
|Double Team Al and Kay (Double Battle)|
 ��������������������������������������



	After the battle, head north and bike along the first two rocks, but
stop after you fly off the second. Grab TM71, then switch into your first gear
and fall off the third rock. Head down past the Double Team Al and Kay, thenhead
west along the four rocks to pick up a Full Restore at the end. Backtrack all
the way to Veteran Clayton now, then head up and down into the previous room
again.

	Down here, head across the bridge, then climb down the wall utilizing
Rock Climb. Loop around clockwise until you come to take on Black Belt Miles.

 ________________

	Machamp has POWER, and that needs to be stressed. Cross-Chop can easily
be very painful with its 100 base attack, especially if it criticals (which it
has a high occurence of doing). Probably the best way to counteract this is
either through bringing in a Ghost-type to make Cross-Chop and Wake-Up Slap
completely ineffective, or bring in somebody with a very powerful Special attack
(preferably a Psychic-type). Should you be able to hit Machamp with the latter
before he moves, it is game over for him. If you cannot bring in either, then
either a Flying-type or somebody who uses lots of moves to wear their opponents
down (through status ailments or stat reductions) should be considered. Make
sure that either way, these two alternatives also have a good chunk of defense
and HP - you will need it.


	Continue on east and into the next room. Head down the stairs here, then
surf a bit across the water to the northeast strip of land. Once you get down,
take on Psychic Valencia.

 ________________
|Psychic Valencia|

	Head around Valencia afterwards via Surf and go south. Once on land,
head up the two sets of stairs to take on Ace Trainers Jo and Pat.

 ______________________________________
|Double Team Jo and Pat (Double Battle)|
 ��|�����������������������������������

	Backtrack down the stairs afterwards, and head north across the lake. Go
right and up to take on Ace Trainer Henry.

 _________________
|Ace Trainer Henry|
 ��|���������������

	Hop onto your surfing Pok�mon on the lakewater next to Henry, then go up
the waterfall via Waterfall. Head left and go down the second waterfall using
Waterfall again. Grab TM59, then go back up, and head left onto the small strip
of land to fight Dragon Tamer Ondrej.

 ___________________
|Dragon Tamer Ondrej|
 �������������������
	Because of the danger that is Dragon Rush, you will probably want to
bring in someone who is a wall in addition to being able to use an Ice attack.
Gabite, being a Dragon/Ground-type, is 4x weak to Ice, so having someone on hand
who can use an Ice attack will be very helpful. Thankfully, it is only one
Pok�mon, so come in and hit hard and quick (or send out somebody else first to
use status ailments or decrease Gabite's Speed or Attack if your Ice-user is too
weak to take out Gabite totally before being eliminated).


	Head left and down along some more water, then go upstairs. Up here,
head straight west to take on Veteran Edgar.

 _____________
|Veteran Edgar|
 ��|�����������

	Head up the nearby stairs, then go right across the bridge. Loop around
clockwise and grab the Zinc (you cannot head through the hole the man is
guarding right now, so do not bother). Proceed all the way left from Edgar and
all the way south to Pick up a Razor Claw. Head back to Veteran Edgar, then go
south and left. Climb up the wall here using Rock Climb, then head left across
the bridge and up into another room. Up here, push both the north and south
boulders to the left before using Strength to push the middle boulder south or
north to clear a path to claim TM79. Head back down, and once you go down using
Rock Climb, head right to another area with Rock Climb. Head up a panel once you
have made it to take on the last trainer in Victory Road (and by default, the
last regular trainer in the normal game); Dragon Tamer Clinton.

|Rival|
 �����

	Once done, recover up and do whatever more you need to, then you read
this prepation paragraph. Otherwise, go ahead and talk to the attendant.


PRE-ELITE FOUR PREPARATIONS: Of the Pok�mon TYPES that you must have, absolute
requirements are Fire, Grass, and Dark. Thanks to weaknesses and strengths,
having one of each on hand can easily save your ass. Any Pok�mon that specialize
in Fighting (Infernape if you have one, otherwise a Machoke/Machamp), Electric
or Rock, and Ice or Dragon (or even both where possible) should also be
included. Also try to fit in a Staraptor who knows Brave Bird - this can easily
save your life a couple of times during the gauntlet (or if you have obtained
Blaziken through trading, use him as your Fire-type, since he can also learn
Brave Bird). At least one Pok�mon should know Earthquake, and two where possible
(especially if you are attaching Earthquake onto a Pok�mon who is itself weak to
Earthquake); . Any spot remaining should be filled either by a Bronzong who has
the ability Levitate or a strong Psychic type with Reflect and Calm Mind
(Alakazam is a GOD if you can get him).

	If you can get an armada like this and make sure everyone is around at
least Level 50, you are good to go. However, I must put special emphasis:
everyone basically MUST be around Level 50. The lowest levelled Pok�mon in the
Elite Four is at Level 53, and it can ramp up to Level 66; overall, there is a
giant leap from your battle with Volkner in the difficulty, so be prepared.
Anyone who has played the previous three generations of Pok�mon, these guys are
much higher than you may be used to.




	After she is done, head inside. Go up the elevator platform and through
the door. Talk to the first of the Elite Four to take him on - Elite Four Aaron.

 ________________
|Elite Four Aaron|
 ����������������
	Aaron is, by far, the easiest of the Elite Four. Not only does he have
the least variation in types (only one Pok�mon is not Bug-type), but being that
they are mainly Bugs, their defence is fairly pitiful. Additionally, if you are
underlevelled when you first came to the Elite Four (as may very well be the
case considering the jump in levels from Volkner to here), he is also a decent
place to level up (new game rules state that you only lose a fraction of your
money whenever you lose a battle, instead of half).

	Do not let the poor defense of his team fool you, however. Aaron's
Pok�mon still have plenty of tricks up their sleeves, and some of them can pack
a mighty fine punch (or, as the case may be due to a lack of hands, attack),
with Bug Buzz being a VERY strong Special attack that gets STABed thanks to
being Bug-type. Also especially watch out for Poison.

	Aaron's opener, Dustox, should be taken out quickly. A one-hit KO is a
must-have, due to two things; Light Screen and Toxic. If he should get either
one of those out, you may have a painful battle ahead of you. Light Screen cuts
all Special attack damage you inflict on Aaron's Pok�mon in half for a number of
turns, regardless of whether you faint Dustox or not (negligible if you are
using Physical attacks), but Toxic really takes the case; it is a poison that
increases in the amount of HP that it can drain from you every turn, no matter
if you switch out and then back in or not. This then can effectively render the
target useless, unless you take it on a suicide run and plan to revive it
afterwards. In any case, with regards to taking out Dustox, I would recommend
you hit him with a strong physical attack. Dustox has average speed by regular
standards, so if you have somebody who is reasonably fast, bring him out. Being
a Bug/Poison type, Dustox is weak to Fire, Flying, Rock and Psychic, so use
whoever you have out of those four categories (though I disrecommend Psychic
since you likely do not have somebody with a strong physical Psychic attack).

	Beautifly has a good number of strong attacks, but the ones you should
be wary of are Energy Ball and Bug Buzz. Bug Buzz is especially powerful in
Beautifly's grasp, and Energy Ball can easily wipe out the one type of Pok�mon
that Beautifly is doubly-weak to - Rock-types. As such, if you do not have
anybody who utilizes Rock-type attacks that you feel is fast enough to get a
first strike in and strong enough to endure a Grass-type attack if you cannot
get a one-hit kill, then do not bring them in. Instead rely on other Pok�mon
that are strong against Beautifly, such as Ice, Electric, or Fire. Also, do not
bother bringing in a Ghost-type thinking that Bug is ineffective against Ghost-
types (and Grass against Poison if you are using the Gastly line), or else you
will get raped by Shadow Ball.

	Vespiquen, like Beautifly, is Bug/Flying. However, I highly recommend
using a Rock-type Pok�mon if you have one here (or at least a Rock-type attack).
In regards to this, there are a number of good reasons for this. First, Rock-
type Pok�mon have strong physical Defense, and Vespiquen's Attack Order is a
very strong physical Bug attack that also has a decent chance of causing a
critical hit. Being that it's a Physical attack instead of a Special, your Rock-
type should easily be able to withstand the attack. But also, you REALLY need to
take Vespiquen out quickly, thanks to the very annoying Defense Order and Heal
Order; Defense Order raises both Vespiquen's Defense AND Special Defense by one
stage at a time, while Heal Order can heal half of her total HP. Exploiting her
double weakness to Rock (plus STAB makes it 6x damage) to take it out quickly
can be match-breaking here. If you do not have any Rock-types or even anybody
using Rock-type attacks, then focus on using somebody with your most powerful
attack (in the realm of Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt or Volt
Tackle - all are fairly powerful enough and with STAB can do 3x damage to
Vespiquen. Do not worry, either; she is really SLOW, so you are almost
guaranteed to have first attack unless you are slow).

	Heracross is, without a doubt, Aaron's most dangerous Pok�mon. Being a
Bug-type/Fighting-type, Heracross has a dual weakness to Flying-types, and you
will need to use it or a Fire-type. Do not bother trying anything else -
Heracross will counter all of them. Psychic-types will run ramshod into a strong
Special Defense and his Night Slash attack. Most other-types, including Steel,
will be slaughtered by Close Combat and Megahorn, both strong Physical attacks
with 120 base damage only bolstered by Same Type Attack Bonus and Heracross'
strong Physical Attack (and Megahorn does not even have any setbacks!). He also
has decent enough Speed to take out most of your Pok�mon before they can even
strike (if you are lagging behind with levels due to the severe jump between Gym
Eight and the Elite Four). At this point, yes, it does come down to using either
a Fire-type or Flying-type, and I would recommend using your strongest Physical-
type attack. Flare Blitz or Brave Bird both work in such a situation, but you
MUST make sure that your Pok�mon will either be able to get in the first hit or
be able to survive an attack from Heracross. It simply has too much power to be
ignored.

	Drapion, the evolved form of Skorupi, thankfully is not as much of a
menance to deal with as Heracross and Vespiquen both may be. However, he does
have one thing that can make it annoying to deal with - like Stunky and Skuntank
before him, he is a Dark/Poison type, making the only thing he is weak to
Ground-type attacks. However, he also has a big counter in the form of Ice Fang
which is super-effective against Ground and a fairly strong Physical-type
attack. My recommendation is if you have someone else with Earthquake attached,
use them instead (unless it's Grass/Ground, like Torterra, in which case shy
away since that is a double-weakness to Ice). Even Fighting-types can probably
survive a good couple of hits from Aerial Ace, so let loose with what you feel
is your best choice for using Earthquake.


	After, continue on a room, and take on Elite Four Bertha.

 _________________
|Elite Four Bertha|
 �����������������
	And now you may see why you need a Grass-type. Every one of Bertha's
team has either Rock or Ground-type (or both), and three of them have dual-
weaknesses to Grass. This also carries over into attacks - Ground-type attacks
will only do half damage to your own Grass-types, and every Pok�mon has at least
one Ground-type attack. Ice-types, Water-types, and Fighting-types can also help
round out your own lineup when your main Grass Pok�mon runs out of steam.

	Bertha's first Pok�mon, Quagsire, should be eliminated as quickly as
possible. There are a number of good reasons for this; the first is that
Sandstorm will rage over the field and harm all Pok�mon with a few type-
exceptions (including Ground for Torterra users) and certain other exceptions,
and will continue on for a few turns, even if Quagsire is defeated. The second
is Reflect, which halves any Physical Damage caused to any Pok�mon on Bertha's
team, also for a number of turns, and can carry over even after Quagsire is
defeated. And finally, there is the highly annoying Double Team, of which each
subsequent use raises Quagsire's evasion stat. After five of these, hitting him
will be almost impossible. Thankfully, Quagsire's only attack is Dig, and will
be half-effective against Grass-types. Furthermore, he is a Water/Ground-type,
meaning he is 4x vulnerable to Grass attacks. As such, I would recommend that
you bring out your most powerful attack to start off with, in the hopes of
taking Quagsire out quickly (for those of you worrying about him using Dig first
to escape your first attack, do not worry too much - Quagsire is NOTORIOUSLY
slow).

	Golem, her second Pok�mon, is doubly weak to both Grass and Water, being
a Rock/Ground type. I recommend that you use a Water-type for this battle since
you will probably want your Grass user for a second matchup in this battle
(unless you are using a Torterra, in which case you may find it useful to defend
against Golem's Earthquake). Thankfully, only Golem's Earthquake is truly
powerful and life-threatening on its own. However, if you are using somebody
weak against Brick Break or Gyro Ball (especially for example Empoleon), then
you want to act FAST and take Golem out with your first hit. Focus on using
Special attacks, such as Surf or Muddy Water (yes, Surf is much more powerful
than it has been in previous games). If you have them and do not mind taking the
risk of missing, Hydro Pump or Water Spout also work greatly. Just DO NOT use a
Physical attack, as Golem has a very strong physical defense (and yes its
Special defense sucks). Do not worry about hitting first; much like Quagsire
before him, Golem is as slow as, well, a rock.

	Sudowoodo has a decent moveset, with Ground, Fighting and Dark-type
attacks in Earthquake, Hammer Arm, and Sucker Punch. This, of course means no
abusing Ghost-types such as Misdreavous or Gengar (with Levitate), thanks to
Sucker Punch. However, he has nothing to utilize against Fighting-type Pok�mon
(especially no attack that has STAB), and Fighting-types in turn are super-
effective against Sudowoodo, a pure Rock-type. Where you do not have a Fighting-
type that is not weak to any of the above types of attacks, you can still
continue to use Grass or Water to take on Sudowoodo; the key here again is
Special Attacks, as once again Sudowoodo has a strong physical defense, and
sucks at Special Defense AND Speed. Just make sure not to use somebody weak to
Dark, as Sucker Punch attacks first, bypassing Sudowoodo's low speed.

	Whiscash, surprisingly, isn't quite as strong and powerful as its three
predecessors. Sure, it may cause trouble with having somewhat powerful attacks
in Zen Headbutt (Psychic-type attack) and Aqua Tail, but it really does not have
all that strong of a Defense, Physical or Special. The only thing going for it
is somewhat high HP, slightly faster Speed, and the ability to use Fissure. If
you are using a Ghost not of the Gastly line that has the Ability Levitate, you
can bring it in without too much of a threat, although I would not recommend it;
Whiscash is a Water/Ground-type, which means you can easily wipe it out with one
move from your Grass-type. Since its physical and Special Defense are almost the
same, just choose your own attack based on the base strength of the attacks and
your Pok�mon's own physical and Special attack stats.

	You MUST stay with your Special attacks when taking on Hippowdon. This
is because of his move Curse, which reduces his Speed (not that there really was
much in the first place) and increases his physical Attack and Defense, making
him a monster in that aspect. If you stick with Special, he is almost wasting a
turn, except for him raising his physical attack power. That said, stick to
Water and Grass here, and do not bother with using a Flying-type (to avoid
Earthquake) or Ice-types, as Stone Edge will slaughter them both. Crunch is not
quite as bad, but it still has the ability to make you flinch, and Earthquake
can be devastating to your Water-type, so do try to get Hippowdon finished off
quickly. As the usual, Hippowdon's Special Defense and Speed sucks, so you have
a good avenue to start from.


	Proceed again into the next chamber to take on a familiar face...

 ________________
|Elite Four Flint|
 ����������������
	And here it is: the reason why you needed Earthquake. At least two of
Flint's Pok�mon can be neutralized by Earthquake, and a third is also weak to
it. It is also why I heavily recommended Fighting, as two of them can be
slaughtered by Fighting. While Flint may say he uses Fire-types, he in fact has
a quite diverse range of Pok�mon.

	Rapidash will be Flint's opener. It should be stated now; you will have
no need to use any Fire-type attacks in this match as long as you have a
Fighting-type on hand, so do NOT let Rapidash use Sunny Day. If it does, all
Fire attacks performed will have 1.5x strength for a long duration of the
battle, and Flare Blitz is already overpowered as it is with STAB and its only
drawback being recoil damage. Bounce should not really be seen as a factor
(Rapidash jumps up, a turn passes, and then it comes down) because of its
Flying-type attribute, but Solar Beam can be fairly lethal if you are using a
Ground-type or Water-type. Get in, quickly use Earthquake or a strong Water-type
attack, and if Rapidash begins charging up Solar Beam, switch out (if Rapidash
goes second in the turn it starts charging and you can take off over half of its
HP with one attack, then strike it again instead) to somebody resistant to
Grass-type attacks, and then go back to your original Pok�mon.

	Infernape will likely be Flint's next Pok�mon, especially if he manages
to get Sunny Day out. In this case, I highly recommend you use your Ground-type
if you have one, or anything that isn't vulnerable to the various types of all
of Infernape's attacks (Electricity, Fire, Ground, and Fighting). Lacking
anything suitable, you can also take advantage of Infernape being a Fighting-
type by using Psychic. Although Infernape is well-rounded, his Speed and Special
Defense still isn't anything better than above average and average respectively,
a strong Psychic type complete with the move Psychic (such as Alakazam) can
probably level him in one hit, and a maximum of two. Just be sure to watch that
you can actually survive a hit from Infernape if you have to use two hits, and
you should be fine.

	Steelix is on a much easier level. He is weak to Ground, Fire, Fighting
and Water, and has only a counter for one of them (Fire) with Rock Tomb. He also
tends to try using Screech a lot. If he does this for two or three turns, then
it is pretty much a waste, as you can easily KO him by the end of that. Just
watch if he immediately starts with Sunny Day (if it is not up already) and then
throws out Fire Fang, as it can be very damaging, if not take you out in one
turn. As such, I would definitely recommend using a Water type if Sunny Day is
up already, as Fire will only do half damage against you. Otherwise, feel free
to go along with whichever type you choose to, AS LONG AS your Pok�mon has a
strong Special attack and decent Special stats. If there is one thing you should
remember from the last battle with Bertha, Rock Pok�mon suck with Special
defense and speed, and the same applies here.

	Drifblim can be fairly annoying. This is because it can use Will-o-Wisp
on you to automatically inflict a burn, and it can use Double Team a few times,
then use Baton Pass to switch out with another of Flint's Pok�mon that is much
more powerful, passing along the evasion increase effects of Double Team as
well. It might also use Ominous Wind as well, which is a Ghost attack that hits
you but also has a chance of raising ALL of his stats by one stage each (and
yes, that gets passed on with Baton Pass as well). Thankfully, there is one
drawback for Drifblim; its stats suck. Seriously, Ominous Wind is not as
powerful as most of the attacks of the Elite's Four Pok�mon, and its Special
Attack is average, and everything else (with the exception of its fairly large
HP) is below average. If you bring in anything that he is weak to - Electric,
Ice, Dark, or Rock - and quickly inflict two strong attacks on him (or even
one), then it is over for him (because Flint may switch out Pok�mon even without
using Baton Pass, I recommend that you try using a Pok�mon attack that would
also be effective against any of Flint's remaining Pok�mon - for example, if all
he has left is Infernape, use a Rock-type). Even one attack might be sufficient
to take the Pok�mon out.

	Lopunny is somewhat different from most of Flint's regime, in that it
does not use a straight-up attack set. Before I say anything else, though, I
must emphasise a point; you MUST, MUST bring in a Fighting-type, and if
possible, it should be female. This is because Lopunny can use Mirror Coat,
which counters Special moves at double the power. Most Fighting-type attacks are
physical, so you should have that problem down. Furthermore, Lopunny, being a
normal-type, is weak to Fighting-type attacks. If you have a female Fighting-
type, even better, because Charm will confuse Pok�mon of the opposite gender
(and Lopunny in this case is female). Aside from that, however, you need not
worry too much about Lopunny trying to pull out a Sunny Day + Fire Punch
combination. It simply does not have the strength to be really threatening with
it, especially since it requires two turns to perform when trying to go up
against a Fighting-type.




	Head into the last room to take on the fourth of the Elite, Elite Four
Lucian.
