Ecruteak City

Ecruteak City

Ecruteak City lies in the woods of northern Johto, between Routes 37, 38, and 42. The city honors its past by preserving long-held traditions, like the old-fashioned architecture of the local dance theater and the two towers that stand to the north. Several legendary Pokémon have ties to the area, giving Ecruteak an air of mystery.

Treasure Hunting

Visit the southwest house and speak to the man inside. He gives you an Itemfinder, a device that can detect any hidden items nearby.

Pokémon Center

Time-Traveling Trades

Enter the Pokémon Center to meet Bill, the creator of the Pokémon Storage System. He has just finished maintenance on the Time Capsule, a machine located on the second floor of every Pokémon Center that allows Trainers to "trade with the past". There are certain restrictions, as all Pokémon and moves that were still undiscovered then are prohibited. The Time Capsule will be operational in 24 hours. After a brief explanation, Bill leaves for his home in Goldenrod City.

Ecruteak Dance Theater

The Ecruteak Dance Theater is where the Kimono Girls practice both their dancing and their Pokémon training. Each of the five sisters specializes in one of Eevee's evolutions. They may be battled in any order. After they have been defeated, speak to the Gentleman in the audience. He has challenged the sisters repeatedly but has failed each time. To reward you for defeating them when he could not, he gives you HM03 (Surf).

Burned Tower

Burned Tower, 1F

Burned Tower, B1F

The charred ruins of the Burned Tower lie in the northwest part of the city. Formerly known as the Brass Tower, it was once as majestic as the Tin Tower to the east. When it was new, it was said to be the roost of an immense, silver-colored Pokémon. But centuries later, a heavy storm rolled in and the tower was struck by lightning, igniting a great fire that would rage for three days. The silver Pokémon and the glorious, rainbow-colored Pokémon that roosted on Tin Tower escaped to the skies unharmed, and the silver Pokémon flew away, never to return. A sudden downpour would finally douse the flames, and the rainbow Pokémon gave new life to three nameless Pokémon that perished in the blaze before it flew off as well.

1F

Ambush!

Immediately after entering the tower, you are ambushed again by Silver. He is looking for the legendary Pokémon that are supposed to be here, and accuses you of trying to get to them first. He aims to stop you, and draws you into battle.

Rival Battle 3

Silver has added another new Pokémon to his team since the previous battle. Magnemite takes serious damage from Fire-, Ground-, and Fighting-type attacks. For Trainers who chose Cyndaquil, or traded for the Machop in Goldenrod City, it will likely be little threat. His Gastly has since evolved into Haunter, but is still vulnerable to the same Ghost-, Psychic-, and Dark-type moves. Use Rock- and Electric-type moves against his Zubat for greatest effect. The Pokémon that he took from Elm's lab has grown a few levels but otherwise has not changed since the previous battle.

If the player chose Chikorita:

If the player chose Cyndaquil:

Afterward, Silver shrugs off his loss as he moves to leave the tower, declaring that you would never be able to catch a legendary Pokémon anyway.

Clear a Path

As the ruined tower is littered with fallen debris, Rock Smash is required to fully explore the area. Using it on the broken rock to the east clears the way to Firebreather Ned and a Burn Heal, and jumping down through the hole in the floor leads to an HP Up. Use the move again to pass through the western side of the tower and reach the center area, then drop down through the hole in the floor.

B1F

On the lower level, you find yourself standing before three mysterious Pokémon. They do not react until approached, when they suddenly dash off in different directions and begin racing across the land. They can be encountered almost anywhere but flee from humans immediately. After seeing them in battle, the Pokédex tracks their movements.

Tin Tower

The Tin Tower is a sacred place, and is off-limits to all but a few people. Ecruteak's Fog Badge gets you inside, but no higher than the first floor. A special item is required to reach the rest of the tower.

Climbing the Tower

In the time it took you obtain the Rainbow Wing, Ho-Oh has finally returned to its former roost at the top of the tower. Stock up on Ultra Balls, and bring a party capable of inflicting status ailments in order to wear it down faster.

Move around in an S-shape to reach the northeast stairs. 4F Go south to find an Ultra Ball, and south again to get a Super Potion. Grab the Escape Rope in the southwest, then climb the northwest stairs. Tin Tower, 5F Tin Tower, 6F 5F Work your way to the pillar for a Rare Candy. With all the ledges, this room can be a bit of a maze. Use the stairs in the southeast and southwest corners to return to 4F. Climb the northwest stairs again and jump the first two northern ledges. Jump the southern ledge and head two ledges to the east. From then on, take all the northern ledges and you'll reach the staircase to 6F. 6F 6F has a simple layout that serves as a transition between the ramps on the lower floors and what lies above. The next three floors use a series of warp tiles for quick navigation. Tin Tower, 7F Tin Tower, 8F 7F Step on the nearest warp tile to reach the pillar, and take the next to reach the east wall of 9F. There are two warp tiles to the south; the right one leads to the center of 8F and a Max Elixer, while the left one leads to the south side of 8F and a Nugget. Backtrack to the first warp on 7F, grab the Max Revive to the northeast, and go south to take the next warp to the west side of 8F. 8F The next warp takes you to the north side of 9F, and the one after that brings you back to the east side of this floor. Pick up the Full Restore to the northwest and take one last warp to the center of 9F. Tin Tower, 9F Ho-Oh's roost 9F Climb the stairs to reach the rooftop. Save your progress; there's only one Ho-Oh, so don't risk losing it. Rooftop Ho-Oh Start off by using status-inflicting moves, like Spore or Thunder Wave, to wear it down. Follow up with Water- or Electric-type attacks to inflict double the damage. Use caution with Rock-type attacks, as Ho-Oh takes four times the normal damage from such moves. Then slowly chip away at its remaining health with Fire-, Grass-, Fighting-, Bug-, or Steel-type attacks, as moves of these types only inflict half- or quarter-damage.
