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

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

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

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

Trainers:

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

Pokemart Items:

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

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

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This may be a good time to use any of your|
| weaker Pokemon. Bidoof and Starly are the |
| same as ever. Budew, however, is new. It |
| can use a move called Absorb, which Piplup|
| is weak again. Chimchar or Starly can take|
| care of it. |

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

|Info: Budew is the same as the one you fought |

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

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

| Once again, use Starly. |

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

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

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

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

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

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

|Pokemon: |
|Glameow lv 10 (Normal) |
|Wurmple lv 10 (Bug) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Not much new. Glameow does know Fake Out, |
| so you might flinch on your first turn. |
| Wurmple also know Poison Sting, so you |
| might be poisoned. Any decent leveled |
| Pokemon are good. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Now that you have the key, you can go inside. Before you fight the Galactic
Commander, you will have to fight several Grunts (4 total). Before you
fight the commander herself, make sure you heal at a Pokemon Center. Head
to the backroom to start the battle.

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

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

|Info: In pretty much every Pokemon game, it is |
| almost required that 1 fisherman should |

| that trainer. Anything, and I repeat, |

| Peck. |

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

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

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

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

|Boss: Gardenia |

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

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