Outside Twist Mountain

Check the puddle to the right for a hidden Ultra Ball. Just as you are about to climb the staircase to the mountain's entrance, Cheren shows up again. Since you each have a Jet Badge now, he's here for another battle.

495 If the player chose Snivy: 498 If the player chose Tepig: 501 If the player chose Oshawott:







When you defeat Cheren, Alder jumps down from the cliff. He was watching the battle, and tells Cheren that what he does with the power gained by becoming stronger is important. Alder gives you each a copy of HM03 (Surf), then leaves to the south. Cheren climbs the staircase and enters Twist Mountain.

Now that you have the ability to cross bodies of water, you can backtrack to a few locations that were previously unreachable.


The Southeast Ocean

Route 1 (southwest)

To reach Route 17, you need to get back to Route 1 and surf west. Leave an open slot in your party for the treasure hunter's Egg! Pick up the Max Ether near the western shore, then battle the two Pokémon Rangers and the Fisherman. Grab the Pearl to the southeast, and walk through the gate to reach Route 17.


Route 17

The swift ocean currents can make travel difficult, so proceed carefully. Surf to the first spot of shallow water, then grab TM06 (Toxic) from the next. Ride the northernmost of the two westbound currents to fight Swimmer Wright and pick up a DeepSeaTooth. Take the southern current west to reach the large island on Route 18.


Route 18

Climb the staircase to the top of the cliff and battle Hiker Jeremiah. Trek through the tall grass to reach the only building on the island; a girl inside will restore your Pokémon's health. Talk to the Pokémon Ranger here to receive an Egg he found in the Relic Castle. The man in black is looking for a Rare Bone; wild Crustle sometimes hold them, which you can sell to him for $10,000.

If you have a Pokémon that knows Strength, you can cross the bridge to the south and drop the boulder to find a Max Elixir. Go down the staircase and shove the second boulder east to fight Backpacker Sam, and pick up a Dragon Scale. Head to the northwest, then double-back through the tall grass on the island's west side to find HM05 (Waterfall)! Go north and climb another staircase to fight Veteran Ray, then continue east across a second bridge and climb down the last staircase.


P2 Laboratory

Ride the southernmost of the two eastbound currents to wind up in front of a small island. Grab TM24 (Thunderbolt) to the south, then check out the P2 Laboratory. The building is devoid of people, but is cluttered with machines. Surf southwest between the currents and around two Swimmers to reach the large island's interior. A Heart Scale lies on a secluded part of the beach to the south, while Battle Girl Hillary and TM19 (Telekinesis) are farther west.


Mistralton Cave

Inside Mistralton Cave

The next place to visit is Mistralton Cave, situated across the river on Route 6. Somewhere in its depths, the legendary Cobalion lives in hiding. Legends claim that Cobalion saved the Pokémon of Unova from a sea of fire in the distant past. Remember to bring a Pokémon with Strength; Flash is also good to have.


1F

Go south and push the boulder to the hole in the floor. Walk east past Hiker Hugh and move the second boulder to the next hole. Head north along the east wall to fight Hiker Clarke, and pick up the Max Repel. Grab the Hyper Potion to the northwest, and move the third boulder into place to create a shortcut. Climb the stairway to the second floor.

2F

Head south to move the next boulder. Walk across the rock ledge, and double-back along the southern wall to find a Hard Stone. Go north, then west to push two more boulders into place. Head to the northeast, then follow the north wall to the west along the upper level for TM80 (Rock Slide). Go west along the lower level to reach an Iron, then jump south over the ledge, and climb up to the third floor.

Guidance Chamber

Head west from the stairway to find a Revive. Backtrack to the east and follow the wall north to get a Dusk Stone. Talk to the old man to hear a story of the three legendary Pokémon, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion.


Pick up a Rare Candy to the northwest, then go south and drop the final two boulders into position. Head northwest to find Cobalion.

Cobalion

Cobalion's Ability, Justified, gives it an Attack boost whenever it is hit by a Template:Type2 attack. When this happens, its Sacred Sword attack becomes very powerful, so be careful. Lower its health with Normal-, Grass-, and Template:Type2 moves before attempting to capture it. If you need to use TM's, it would be recommended to teach a Pokémon Reflect since it can reduce the damage from Cobalion's attacks by half.

The old man approaches you after the battle, and says that because Cobalion is starting to trust you, Terrakion and Virizion will give you a chance to battle them, as well. Terrakion is hidden deep in Victory Road, out of reach for now. Virizion, however, is waiting in Rumination Field, on the eastern side of Pinwheel Forest.

Pinwheel Forest

Regardless of the way you entered, look for a hole in the fence northeast of the bridges. Trek east through the dark grass and go to the far southeast edge of the forest to find TM22 (SolarBeam). Go west to reach the small pond, and check for a Rare Candy on the southeast side. Surf west across the water to grab the SilverPowder from the ledge, then sail back across the pond and head northeast. Walk through the fallen log and pick up the Hyper Potion from the tree stump. Rumination Field lies to the north.


Rumination Field

Rumination Field is a tiny, isolated part of the forest, with no other point of interest but Virizion itself. Like Cobalion, its Justified Ability boosts its Attack when it takes damage from a Template:Type2 move. Weaken it with super-effective moves (excluding Flying-type moves due to Virizion suffering a 4x weakness due to it's type combo), then whittle its health down with Water-, Grass-, or Template:Type2 attacks.
