==Mt. Mortar (optional)==
[[Mt. Mortar]] is a tall mountain that looms over northern Johto. Inside is a large network of caves, and even a giant waterfall. {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}} are required to fully explore the area. [[Kiyo|The Karate King]] from [[Saffron City]] is training on the lowest floor; venture inside with an empty party slot to receive {{p|Tyrogue|one}} of his prized Pokémon.

[[Blackthorn City]] is a quiet town built into the side of a mountain.  On the northern outskirts of town is the [[Dragon's Den]], where you'll meet the town's most revered Elder.  This is also the place where you'll win your eighth and final Gym badge.

=== Time to Trade ===
====West, East Entrances====
=====Entrance=====
Both the west and east entrances lead behind the waterfall to the Lower Cave. A hidden [[Hyper Potion]] can be found near the west entrance.


The girl in the first house you pass by is looking to trade. When you talk to her, she'll offer to trade her {{p|Dodrio}} for your {{p|Dragonair}}{{female}}.  It's your choice, but a Dragonair (and then {{p|Dragonite}}) will end up stronger in the long run.
=====Lower Cave=====
There are two items that can be obtained before exploring most of the Lower Cave. The ladder atop the stairway to the west leads to an [[Ether]]. The ladder atop the stairway to the east, near Poké Maniac Harrison, leads to a [[Revive]].


The other girl will inspect your lead Pokémon. If it is strong enough, she will give it an Effort Ribbon.
Northwest of Poké Maniac Harrison is a boulder; move it aside to reach a hidden [[Max Repel]] and continue north. A dead-end to the west leads to an [[Ultra Ball]], and a [[Max Potion]] can be found among a group of stalagmites to the east. Turn east, then south to fight Super Nerd Markus and reach an [[Escape Rope]]. Climb the large stairway to the upper level on the room's east side. Collect the [[Nugget]] to the north.


=== The Saturday Sibling ===
====Center Entrance====
=====Entrance=====
Climb down the ladder near the center entrance to the Basement.


Remember to visit the city on a Saturday. [[Week Siblings|Santos]] will be waiting just southeast of the Gym, and will give you the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Soft Sand}} when you first meet him, which strengthens {{type2|Ground}} moves. All subsequent meetings will earn you a {{DL|Ribbon|Other Ribbons|Snooze Ribbon}}.
=====Basement=====
Surf east to the southeast corner to reach a [[Full Restore]]. Swim northeast to get a [[Max Ether]], then west for a [[Hyper Potion]]. There is a boulder farther to the west, but the narrow pathway prevents northward travel. Surf southward and pick up the [[PP Up]] near the ladder. Cross the water to the southwest corner, and inspect the wall to find a hidden [[Ultra Ball]]. Surf north for a [[Carbos]], then jump the ledge to the southeast and climb the ladder back to the Entrance.


=== The Move Tutor house ===
=====Entrance=====
Surf north and use {{m|Waterfall}} to scale the cascade, and enter the doorway to the Upper Cave.


There are four people in the house next to the Poké Mart, all of which provide valuable services regarding a Pokémon's moves.
=====Upper Cave=====
Surf west to reach a [[Rare Candy]] in the southwest corner. Head back east, past the platform with Super Nerd Hugh, and swim north across the nearest pool of water. Grab the [[Max Potion]] from the platform, and surf to the southeast corner. Head north across the next two pools, the second of which has a [[Full Restore]] hidden on its north shore. Go west, jump the ledge, and head west to the wall. Swim north across the water and jump the ledge to reach a platform with {{TM|40|Aerial Ace}}. Loop back around to the north, and continue eastward. Surf across another pool, and pick up the [[Escape Rope]] from the northeast platform. Cross the northeast pool, then jump the two north-central ledges to collect a [[Dragon Scale]]. Jump the third ledge and go west for an [[Elixir]], then cross the northwest pool to the ladder.


* Move Deleter: He'll let a Pokémon forget a learned move - even a move that can't normally be forgotten, like an [[HM]].
=====Lower Cave=====
* Move Maniac: Give him a {{DL|Exchangeable  item|Heart Scale}} and he'll let a Pokémon remember one of the moves it has forgotten.
Navigate around the small platforms to get an [[Iron]] and a hidden [[Ether]]. Go east, then south for an [[Iron Ball]], then follow the platform to the southwest. Grab the [[Max Revive]], and climb down the ladder.
* Grandma Wilma: Bring her a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon with high friendship and she'll teach it {{m|Draco Meteor}}, the ultimate Dragon-type move.
* Ultimate Move Tutor: He teaches the ultimate move ({{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, or {{m|Hydro Cannon}}) to the fully-evolved form of your starter Pokémon. Come back to his house later in the game when you have a fully evolved Kanto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh starter Pokémon to teach it one of these powerful moves.


=== Blackthorn Gym ===
=====Basement=====
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
Walk down the nearest stairway and turn east. Check the lone rock for a hidden [[Max Revive]], and take the large stairway down to the northeastern-most area. The [[Kiyo|Karate King]] of {{ci|Saffron}}'s [[Fighting Dojo]] is training here, and gladly accepts your challenge.
{{sign|DPcity|title|Blackthorn City Pokémon Gym <br> Leader: Clair}}
{{sign|DPcity|The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}


The [[Blackthorn Gym]] is devoted to the {{type2|Dragon}}, so {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Dragon}}-, and {{type2|Electric}} moves will see the most use here.  The first thing you'll notice is that, due to the lava bubbling underfoot, the floor has become unstable, and you'll need to return your lead Pokémon to its Poké Ball.  After receiving a major redesign from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Gym now has a single floor that requires the use of the rotating, moving platforms to cross the lava.  The blue button causes a platform to rotate in place, while the two red arrows move you in either direction.  To reach the Gym Leader, you'll need to navigate the three platforms, and fight past five Ace Trainers.

Inside {{prof|Elm}}'s Lab, Lyra/Ethan is impressed that you have already earned eight badges. Elm tells you that his research is going great, thanks to you. To show his appreciation, he hands out the [[Master Ball]], a Poké Ball guaranteed to catch any Pokémon, which is normally given only to noted Pokémon researchers. If you hatched the [[Mystery Egg]], then this is also a good time to receive an [[Everstone]].


Elm also mentions that a group of [[Kimono Girls]] was looking for you. The group is waiting at the Ecruteak Dance Theater.


Congratulations, you've just defeated the eighth and final Gym Leader of [[Johto]]!  That's quite an achievement, but Clair won't hand over your last badge that easily. While she acknowledges that she lost, she still doesn't believe that you're ready to take on the {{ka|Elite Four}}.  In order for her to recognize you as the victor, you have to travel to the [[Dragon's Den]] shrine in the cave behind the Gym.  Bring a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}, and head inside.
==Ecruteak City==
===Ecruteak Dance Theater===
As you arrive at the [[Ecruteak City]] Dance Theater, Silver is just leaving, still agonizing over his defeat by the [[Kimono Girls]]. Inside, you are welcomed by Zuki, the Kimono Girl you met in [[Violet City]]. She claims that in order to persuade {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}} / {{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}} to return, they needed to find someone who had the right bond with Pokémon. She reveals that it was they who gave the [[Mystery Egg]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]], in the hopes that he would give it to someone who showed "true potential". However, that alone is not enough to face the legendary Pokémon, and Zuki presents an opportunity for you to prove yourself by defeating the five sisters in quick succession.


=== Dragon's Den ===
First up is Zuki, from [[Violet City]], and her {{p|Umbreon}}. Second is Naoko, from [[Ilex Forest]], and her {{p|Espeon}}. Third is Miki, from the Dance Theater, and her {{p|Flareon}}. Fourth is Sayo, from [[Ice Path]], and her {{p|Jolteon}}. The final sister is Kuni, from [[Goldenrod Tunnel]], and her {{p|Vaporeon}}.

Enter the cave, and take the stairs down into the main cavern.  {{m|Surf}} to the southwest, and you'll reach a large whirlpool.  Have a Pokémon use {{m|Whirlpool}} to cross over it, and surf east past the Dragon Shrine.  Northeast of the shrine is the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}, which enhances {{type2|Dragon}} moves.  Backtrack to the shrine, and speak to the Dragon Master to be quizzed about your attitude towards Pokémon.  Depending on how you answer the five questions, you'll be rewarded with a {{p|Dratini}}, which may or may not know the move {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}.  To get the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed, <b>do not</b> choose any of the following answers:
|pokemon1={{Pokémon/4|game=HeartGold
* Underling (Question 1)
|ndex=196|pokemon=Espeon
* Cheating (Question 2)
|type1=Psychic
* Weak Person (Question 3)
|level=38|gender=male
* Violence (Question 4)
|ability=Synchronize
Finally, you'll need to answer "Both" for the fifth question.  After the quiz, [[Clair]] walks in, expecting to see that you've failed.  As much as she would rather not, the Elder persuades her to give you the {{badge|Rising}}, your final badge from Johto.  This badge earns the respect of all of your Pokémon, and enables the use of {{m|Waterfall}} in the field.  As you head for the cave's exit, you'll run into Clair on the northern shore, where she's waiting to give you {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}.  She tells you to return to {{to|New Bark}} and take Route 27 to reach the {{ka|Elite Four}}.  When you exit [[Dragon's Den]], you'll get a call from [[Professor Elm]], asking you to return to New Bark Town.  To get your {{p|Dratini}}, re-enter the cave and speak to the Elder again.

Suddenly, their younger sister enters the building and claims that she just saw the shadow of a big Pokémon over the [[Bell Tower]]. The sisters run off, leaving you to follow. {{p|Ho-Oh}} will not let itself be caught easily, so be sure to stock up on useful Poké Balls, such as [[Timer Ball]]s. Repels, Escape Ropes, and Pokémon with status-inflicting moves, like {{m|Spore}} or {{m|Thunder Wave}}, are also recommended. Head north from the Dance Theater to reach the Barrier Station. Flash the Fog Badge to reach [[Bellchime Trail]].

While it was accessible once you had reached {{rt|31|Johto}}, you didn't have the moves ({{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}) needed to fully explore this shadowy cave.

* <b>The [[Violet City]] (western) side:</b>
::After exploring the Blackthorn side of the cave, you'll emerge on the western side at the edge of another small lake.  {{m|Surf}} to the west find a [[Potion]], and a [[Poké Ball]] hidden nearby.  Walk south and swim across the tiny pool of water to obtain a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}}, which decreases the chances of fighting wild Pokémon.  Navigate around the group of ledges, and {{m|Rock Smash|break through}} the two boulders to head east.  Have a Pokémon use {{m|Strength}} to shove the boulder out of your way, and use Rock Smash again to break the rock east of here.  Head north, and follow the path east and then south around a large rock formation, where you'll find a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}.  Continue south, jump the ledge, and pick up the {{DL|Ether|Max Ether}} to the east, hidden in the rock wall.  Continue south down two more stairways, and grab the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}.  Jump the ledge to the west, and take the stairway south to reach a {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}}.  Jump the ledge, and head east to reach the exit to {{rt|46|Johto}}.

[[File:Bell Tower 4F HGSS.png|thumb|135px|Bell Tower, 4F]]
====2F====
Go south around the column and climb the ladder.
====3F====
Go west to reach a [[Full Heal]]. Move around in an S-shape to reach the northeast stairs, picking up the hidden [[Max Potion]] along the way.
====4F====
Jump south, then west and follow the path to find an [[Ultra Ball]]. Continue following the path to get a [[PP Up]]. Grab the [[Escape Rope]] in the southwest, then climb the northwest stairs.
[[File:Bell Tower 5F HGSS.png|thumb|135px|left|Bell Tower, 5F]]
[[File:Bell Tower 6F HGSS.png|thumb|135px|Bell Tower, 6F]]
====5F====
Work your way to the pillar for a [[Rare Candy]]. The ramps here keep you from advancing, so take the southeast stairs (grabbing the hidden [[Full Restore]] along the way) and backtrack through 4F. As you emerge from the stairs, jump east twice before taking the first ramp south. Next, take the first ramp west and then south. You'll come to a fork with two paths. Take the eastern ramps (closest to the pillar) to reach stairs in the south.
====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.  First grab the [[Max Potion]], then circle around to the northwest corner to get the [[Full Heal]]. Jump the two ramps south and take the stairs up to 7F.
[[File:Bell Tower 7F HGSS.png|thumb|135px|left|Bell Tower, 7F]]
[[File:Bell Tower 8F HGSS.png|thumb|135px|Bell 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 Elixir]], 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 where you can find an [[HP Up]]. Continue west and take the second warp tile on 9F, which brings you back to the east side of 8F. Pick up the [[Full Restore]] to the northwest and take one last warp to the center of 9F.

[[Image:Johto Route45 Map.gif|frame|right|Route 45]]
[[File:Bell Tower Summit HGSS.png|thumb|135px|Bell Tower, Rooftop]]


{{rt|45|Johto}} follows a river ravine, forming a steep trail leading down from the mountains.  The route splits and recombines multiple times, passing the eastern entrance to [[Dark Cave]] before turning west towards {{rt|46|Johto}}.  With so many ledges and bridges scattered across the route, you'll need to travel southbound more than once to get every item, and fight every Trainer.
====9F====
Climb the stairs to reach the rooftop.


* <b>To collect every item:</b>
====Rooftop====
::Walk south from Dark Cave's southern entrance to find an {{DL|Ether|Elixir}}.  Walk down the steps and jump the first ledge nearby, and head east across the bridge.  Jump over the ledge to the south to pick up a {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}}.  Cross the second bridge near Ace Trainer Kelly, and jump over the ledge here to find a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} sitting in a large patch of tall grass. Ignore the next bridge, and jump the next ledge west of the river for a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}, and another ledge for a [[Revive]].  Here you'll be standing near two stairways - one leading south, the other leading east; step down the eastern stairway, cross the bridge, and jump the ledge to reach a small pond.  Pick the Grn Apricorn from the tree, jump the ledge, and take the bridge west to reach {{rt|46|Johto}}.
Climb the golden stairway to reach the tower's rooftop, where the [[Kimono Girls]] are waiting for you. Zuki tells you that once their mystical dance combines with the sound of the [[Clear Bell]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} will return from the great arch of the sky once more. The Clear Bell floats up above you, and the sisters begin their dance. The four other bells, each hanging from a different corner of the roof, also activate. As if drawn by the peal of the bells, Ho-Oh appears and descends to the tower.
* <b>To fight every Trainer:</b>
::Walk south from {{ci|Blackthorn}} and jump the first ledge on the eastern side of the river. The route diverges around a rock outcropping; you can jump the western ledges to fight Hiker Erik, or take the eastern side to fight Ace Trainer Ryan. South of those two Trainers, cut across the bridge to the route's western side, and jump south to battle Hiker Parry. Step down the stairs, jump the next ledge, and cross the bridge to challenge Ace Trainer Kelly.  Head south and jump the three ledges to fight Black Belt Kenji.  South of Kenji, the route splits around a second rock formation east of the river; jump the three ledges on the west side to fight Hiker Timothy, or jump the single east ledge to battle Hiker Michael.  Continue south, and travel west to reach {{rt|46|Johto}}.

'''SAVE''' your game before trying to catch Ho-Oh.


{{rt|46|Johto}} is a short route in southeastern [[Johto]] that connects {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|29|Johto}}.  Pluck the Grn and Ylw Apricorns from the two trees near [[Dark Cave]]'s southern entrance, jump a few ledges, grab the {{DL|Battle item|X Speed}} to the west, and head south through the guardhouse. A short walk is all it takes to return home to [[New Bark Town]].
Start off by using status-inflicting moves, like {{m|Spore}} or {{m|Thunder Wave}}, to wear it down. Follow up with {{t|Water}}- or {{type|Electric}} attacks to inflict double the damage. Use caution with {{type|Rock}} attacks, as Ho-Oh takes four times the normal damage from such moves. Then slowly chip away at its remaining health with {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type|Steel}} attacks, as moves of these types only inflict half- or quarter-damage. If you happen to knock it out and don't want to [[soft resetting|soft reset]], it will reappear once you have entered the [[Hall of Fame]].

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
These pages follow the remade Nintendo DS iteration, not Pokémon Gold and Silver. The guide for those games can be found here.


Mt. Mortar (optional)

Mt. Mortar is a tall mountain that looms over northern Johto. Inside is a large network of caves, and even a giant waterfall. Surf, Strength, Waterfall, and Rock Climb are required to fully explore the area. The Karate King from Saffron City is training on the lowest floor; venture inside with an empty party slot to receive one of his prized Pokémon.

Mt. Mortar, Entrance
Mt. Mortar, Lower Cave
Mt. Mortar, Basement

West, East Entrances

Entrance

Both the west and east entrances lead behind the waterfall to the Lower Cave. A hidden Hyper Potion can be found near the west entrance.

Lower Cave

There are two items that can be obtained before exploring most of the Lower Cave. The ladder atop the stairway to the west leads to an Ether. The ladder atop the stairway to the east, near Poké Maniac Harrison, leads to a Revive.

Northwest of Poké Maniac Harrison is a boulder; move it aside to reach a hidden Max Repel and continue north. A dead-end to the west leads to an Ultra Ball, and a Max Potion can be found among a group of stalagmites to the east. Turn east, then south to fight Super Nerd Markus and reach an Escape Rope. Climb the large stairway to the upper level on the room's east side. Collect the Nugget to the north.

Center Entrance

Entrance

Climb down the ladder near the center entrance to the Basement.

Basement

Surf east to the southeast corner to reach a Full Restore. Swim northeast to get a Max Ether, then west for a Hyper Potion. There is a boulder farther to the west, but the narrow pathway prevents northward travel. Surf southward and pick up the PP Up near the ladder. Cross the water to the southwest corner, and inspect the wall to find a hidden Ultra Ball. Surf north for a Carbos, then jump the ledge to the southeast and climb the ladder back to the Entrance.

Entrance

Surf north and use Waterfall to scale the cascade, and enter the doorway to the Upper Cave.

Upper Cave

Surf west to reach a Rare Candy in the southwest corner. Head back east, past the platform with Super Nerd Hugh, and swim north across the nearest pool of water. Grab the Max Potion from the platform, and surf to the southeast corner. Head north across the next two pools, the second of which has a Full Restore hidden on its north shore. Go west, jump the ledge, and head west to the wall. Swim north across the water and jump the ledge to reach a platform with TM40 (Aerial Ace). Loop back around to the north, and continue eastward. Surf across another pool, and pick up the Escape Rope from the northeast platform. Cross the northeast pool, then jump the two north-central ledges to collect a Dragon Scale. Jump the third ledge and go west for an Elixir, then cross the northwest pool to the ladder.

Lower Cave

Navigate around the small platforms to get an Iron and a hidden Ether. Go east, then south for an Iron Ball, then follow the platform to the southwest. Grab the Max Revive, and climb down the ladder.

Basement

Walk down the nearest stairway and turn east. Check the lone rock for a hidden Max Revive, and take the large stairway down to the northeastern-most area. The Karate King of Saffron's Fighting Dojo is training here, and gladly accepts your challenge.



When defeated, he rewards you with a Tyrogue, a rare Fighting-type Pokémon that can evolve into either Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, or Hitmontop beginning at level 20.

New Bark Town

Elm's Lab

Inside Elm's Lab, Lyra/Ethan is impressed that you have already earned eight badges. Elm tells you that his research is going great, thanks to you. To show his appreciation, he hands out the Master Ball, a Poké Ball guaranteed to catch any Pokémon, which is normally given only to noted Pokémon researchers. If you hatched the Mystery Egg, then this is also a good time to receive an Everstone.

Elm also mentions that a group of Kimono Girls was looking for you. The group is waiting at the Ecruteak Dance Theater.

Ecruteak City

Ecruteak Dance Theater

As you arrive at the Ecruteak City Dance Theater, Silver is just leaving, still agonizing over his defeat by the Kimono Girls. Inside, you are welcomed by Zuki, the Kimono Girl you met in Violet City. She claims that in order to persuade Ho-OhHG / LugiaSS to return, they needed to find someone who had the right bond with Pokémon. She reveals that it was they who gave the Mystery Egg to Mr. Pokémon, in the hopes that he would give it to someone who showed "true potential". However, that alone is not enough to face the legendary Pokémon, and Zuki presents an opportunity for you to prove yourself by defeating the five sisters in quick succession.

First up is Zuki, from Violet City, and her Umbreon. Second is Naoko, from Ilex Forest, and her Espeon. Third is Miki, from the Dance Theater, and her Flareon. Fourth is Sayo, from Ice Path, and her Jolteon. The final sister is Kuni, from Goldenrod Tunnel, and her Vaporeon.

When all five sisters are defeated, Zuki gives you the Clear BellHG or Tidal BellSS. When combined with the Rainbow WingHG or Silver WingSS, the two items can be used to summon the two legendary birds.

Ho-Oh Descends to the Bell TowerHG

Suddenly, their younger sister enters the building and claims that she just saw the shadow of a big Pokémon over the Bell Tower. The sisters run off, leaving you to follow. Ho-Oh will not let itself be caught easily, so be sure to stock up on useful Poké Balls, such as Timer Balls. Repels, Escape Ropes, and Pokémon with status-inflicting moves, like Spore or Thunder Wave, are also recommended. Head north from the Dance Theater to reach the Barrier Station. Flash the Fog Badge to reach Bellchime Trail.

Bell Tower

As you approach the back of the first floor, the Rainbow Wing suddenly floats up into the air. Seeing the shimmering rainbow feather, the monk finally moves from the ladder.

Bell Tower, 3F
Bell Tower, 4F

2F

Go south around the column and climb the ladder.

3F

Go west to reach a Full Heal. Move around in an S-shape to reach the northeast stairs, picking up the hidden Max Potion along the way.

4F

Jump south, then west and follow the path to find an Ultra Ball. Continue following the path to get a PP Up. Grab the Escape Rope in the southwest, then climb the northwest stairs.

Bell Tower, 5F
Bell Tower, 6F

5F

Work your way to the pillar for a Rare Candy. The ramps here keep you from advancing, so take the southeast stairs (grabbing the hidden Full Restore along the way) and backtrack through 4F. As you emerge from the stairs, jump east twice before taking the first ramp south. Next, take the first ramp west and then south. You'll come to a fork with two paths. Take the eastern ramps (closest to the pillar) to reach stairs in the south.

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. First grab the Max Potion, then circle around to the northwest corner to get the Full Heal. Jump the two ramps south and take the stairs up to 7F.

Bell Tower, 7F
Bell 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 Elixir, 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 where you can find an HP Up. Continue west and take the second warp tile on 9F, which brings you back to the east side of 8F. Pick up the Full Restore to the northwest and take one last warp to the center of 9F.

Bell Tower, 9F
Bell Tower, Rooftop

9F

Climb the stairs to reach the rooftop.

Rooftop

Climb the golden stairway to reach the tower's rooftop, where the Kimono Girls are waiting for you. Zuki tells you that once their mystical dance combines with the sound of the Clear Bell, Ho-Oh will return from the great arch of the sky once more. The Clear Bell floats up above you, and the sisters begin their dance. The four other bells, each hanging from a different corner of the roof, also activate. As if drawn by the peal of the bells, Ho-Oh appears and descends to the tower.

SoulSilver players are unable to challenge Ho-Oh until after obtaining the Rainbow Wing in Pewter City. The Clear Bell is not required.

Ho-Oh

SAVE your game before trying to catch 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. If you happen to knock it out and don't want to soft reset, it will reappear once you have entered the Hall of Fame.
