{{WalkthroughNotice|HGSS}}

Back in {{ci|Goldenrod}}, many areas are blocked off by Rocket Grunts. Head out to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] to run these thugs out of town!

The lone Rocket on the ground floor is blocking the stairs to the rest of the tower. Only [[Team Rocket]] members are allowed upstairs, so you are turned away. To infiltrate the tower, it seems that you must now disguise yourself as the enemy.

The [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] is deserted, except for a single Rocket Grunt at the Memorial Photo Studio. Team Rocket had to recruit new members for this operation, but ran out of uniforms. This Rocket decided to "borrow" a uniform from the studio, and suggests that you do the same.

After fooling the Grunt with your disguise, you move to climb the stairs when Silver shows up. He recognizes you and blows your cover, which forces the Grunt to attack. Afterwards, the guard runs upstairs to alert the other Rockets, and Silver runs off, still mumbling about defeating [[Lance|that Dragon Tamer]].

There are four Grunts on the second floor, as well as a few cowering DJs.

====3F====

The third floor is guarded by two Grunts and a Scientist. The locked door on the east side requires a {{key|IV|Card Key}} to open, so climb the western stairs instead.

 

====4F (west)====

[[DJ Mary|Mary]] and her {{p|Meowth}} are being held hostage along with {{DL|DJ|Ben}} on the fourth floor.

When defeated, Petrel gives up the location of the real Director: in the Underground Warehouse, at the far end of [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. He also hands over the {{key|IV|Basement Key}}.

In the tunnel, you meet a fourth [[Kimono Girl]]. She starts talking about a legendary Pokémon, but catches herself and leaves before revealing too much. Unlock the door and head downstairs.

Once he leaves, there are two Rocket Grunts nearby to take out. After that, the next obstacle is the shifting walls. To clear a path to the east exit, flip the blue switch first, then the green switch, and the red switch last. Pressing them in a different order allows you to reach the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}} in the southwest. Go south and defeat the female Grunt; the purple switch nearby opens a shortcut to the entrance.

Follow the winding hallway to reach an {{ball|Ultra}} near the first group of crates. A short distance past that is a single box with a hidden {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}} inside. Fight the first Grunt and collect the [[Max Ether]] from the southeast corner. Head north past the female Grunt and head west. Fight one last Grunt, pick up {{TM|82|Sleep Talk}}, and talk to the Director. He gives you the {{key|IV|Card Key}}, which opens the shutters on the Radio Tower's third floor. Climb the northeast stairs to the Department Store basement, pick up the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Amulet Coin}}, and ride the elevator up to the exit.

====4F (east)====

[[Proton]] guards the east part of 4F. Beat him and collect the {{ball|Ultra}}.

[[Archer]], [[Team Rocket]]'s current leader, claims that seizing the Radio Tower was a means to call [[Giovanni]] back from his solo training, so that the organization can reclaim its former glory. Take him on to put an end to their plans!

Defeated, Archer laments that their operation was in vain. Like Giovanni did {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|before|s}} him, he formally disbands [[Team Rocket]] and disappears.

[[File:Johto Route 44 HGSS.png|thumb|350px|Route 44]]

{{rt|44|Johto}} 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 Pokémon like {{p|Tangela}} and {{p|Lickitung}} can be found in the grass between the two lakes. The [[Ice Path]] is located in the east.

===Ice Path===

[[Ice Path]] is a mid-sized cave that connects {{rt|44|Johto}} directly to [[Blackthorn City]]. Navigation can be difficult, as some areas of the cave are covered by a layer of ice. It is also the only location where wild {{p|Swinub}} and {{p|Delibird}}{{sup/4|SS}} can be found.

====1F (northwest)====

Pass over the first patch of ice and continue on to the second. This one is larger, and the large pieces of ice make travel more difficult.

After that, go east to reach the next ice patch. This one is smaller, and there is an item, {{HM|07|Waterfall}}, lying on the far side of the ice. After that, cross over the platform to reach the northeast ladder.

====B1F (north)====

There are four boulders scattered around this floor, and each one must be dropped through a different hole to form a path on the floor below. Go north and loop around to find the first two boulders.

{| style="margin: auto; background: #{{rock color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 2px solid #{{rock color dark}};" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4"

| style="background: #FFFFFF; {{roundybl|5px}};" | #4 (north)

| style="background: #FFFFFF; {{roundybr|5px}};" | Up 2, Right 2, Up 3, Left 2

Start off with the southernmost boulder. Use {{m|Strength}} to move it southward and drop it through the southwest hole. Go back and move the second boulder as far north as possible. Head to the east side to reach the third boulder, and drop it through the southeast hole. Go north and drop the fourth boulder through the north hole. Finally, move the second boulder to the northwest hole. Climb down the ladder in the northeast.

====B2F (west)====

The boulders from the floor above have formed a convenient spiral that leads to the center of the room. Check the four corners for items, including a {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}}, a hidden {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}}, and a hidden {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}}. Follow the boulders to the room's center, pick up the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}, and climb down the ladder.

====B3F====

{{m|Rock Smash|Smash}} the rock, or loop around to the right, to reach the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}. Climb up the east ladder.

====B2F (east)====

Go south, then head east across the platform. Stand two steps east of the platform, and slide south then east to reach {{TM|72|Avalanche}}. Turn around and slide west to reach the ladder.

====B1F (south)====

Inspect the stalagmite on the south edge of the ice for a hidden {{DL|Revive|Revive}}. Head northwest, and move the boulder one space southward. Slide west over the ice, then south to reach the {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}. Climb up the western ladder.

Grab the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} on the platform and head south. Another of the [[Kimono Girls]] can be found to the south; it seems that she got stuck on the ice. Slide down, left, down, then right to reach her. After a quick shove to clear ground, she thanks you and leaves. Slide left, up, right, down, right, and down to reach the {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}, then head south to reach the exit. Welcome to [[Blackthorn City]]!
