Goldenrod City

Radio Tower

The Radio Tower

When you return to Goldenrod, you'll see that many areas are blocked off by Rocket Grunts. It's your job to run these criminals out of town, so make sure your Pokémon are well-rested.

There are only two Rockets patrolling this floor, so take them out and go upstairs to the Director's office.

5F (west)

The Director is right here, being held in his office... or he would be, if this wasn't a Rocket Executive in disguise. Prepare for battle!

When defeated, the Executive gives up the location of the real Director: in the Underground Warehouse, behind the locked door in Goldenrod Tunnel. He also hands over the Basement Key.

Goldenrod Tunnel

There's a Rocket guarding the alley in front of the Game Corner, so you'll need to enter the tunnel from the north end. Follow the east hallway to the end, and use the Basement Key to open the door.

Warehouse Exterior

The first part of the warehouse has two sections of wall that shift when the corresponding switches on the north wall are pressed. Your rival appears again just inside the door, so make sure your Pokémon are ready for a fight.

Item Location Games Full Heal On the right side of the room  G  S  Smoke Ball On the left side of the room  G  S

With these Rockets defeated, your next obstacle are the shifting walls. The easiest way past here is to activate the switches in order from left to right. Activating them in a different order will let you reach the Full Heal to the right, and the Smoke Ball to the left. Go south, defeat the female Rocket, and walk through the doors into the next room.

Warehouse Interior

Follow the hallway past the first Rocket, and pick up the Max Ether in the southeast corner. Fight the Rocket in the northeast, then take a detour upstairs to the Department Store's basement to find an Amulet Coin. Go west and battle one more Rocket, then grab the TM35 (Sleep Talk) and speak to the Director. He gives you the Card Key, which unlocks the shutter on the tower's third floor. Climb the northeast stairs again and take the elevator up out of the basement.

The top Executive formally disbands Team Rocket, just as Giovanni did three years before. The remaining Rockets disappear in the blink of an eye, and the Director returns to reward you with either the Rainbow Wing^G or the Silver Wing^S. The Director tells you that the current Radio Tower replaced an old, creaky one, and that feather he gave you was found on the roof. He leaves for his office, and you are free to return to Mahogany. On your way down the tower, you can speak to Mary on 4F to get a Pink Bow, and the girl on 3F for TM11 (Sunny Day).

The next destination is Blackthorn City, which can be reached by traveling east from Mahogany Town. However, the feather that the Director found lets you track down the first of the region's two legendary birds, so you may want to take the time to catch it now.

To find Ho-Oh atop Tin Tower, go here.

To find Lugia down in the Whirl Islands, go here.

Route 44

Route 44

Route 44 is a quiet mountain road that serves as the only path into Blackthorn City. Both the north and south paths lack any tall grass, but you can find Pokémon like Tangela and Lickitung in the grass between the two small lakes. Trade phone numbers with Fisher Wilton for him to alert you about Remoraid swarms. Head east to reach the entrance to Ice Path.
