The Juggler

The Juggler outside the Pokémon Center likes to collect Shards, and will trade three different Berries for each one. The Berries obtained correspond to the shard's color.

Shard		Set	Berries
	Red Shard	A		Cheri		Pecha		Leppa
	Blue Shard	B		Chesto		Oran		Wiki
	Yellow Shard	C		Aspear		Sitrus		Iapapa
	Green Shard	D		Rawst		Lum		Aguav

Time for a Trade

The kid in the house near the Pokémon Center is looking for a Bellsprout. In return, he offers his Onix, Rocky.

Pokémon School

The Pokémon School is where young Trainers learn how to raise Pokémon. The blackboard lists the five status ailments that can affect a Pokémon.

Ailment		Effect(s)
BRN	Burn	Attack drops to 50%; inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every turn
FRZ	Freeze	Cannot move until thawed (20% chance of recovery per turn)
PAR	Paralysis	Speed drops to 25%; cannot attack 1/4 of the time
PSN	Poison	Inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every turn; loses 1 HP for every four steps taken outside of battle
SLP	Sleep	Cannot move for one to four turns

Primo

A man named Primo appears in the Pokémon Center. He will offer the player the chance to give their opinion on him, as he is apparently a celebrity. If the right combination of phrases is selected, the player can get a Mareep Egg, a Wooper Egg, a Slugma Egg, and secret wallpapers.

Sprout Tower

Sprout Tower, 1F

Sprout Tower, 2F

Sprout Tower, 3F

Sprout Tower is a towering pagoda where Sages teach that all living things coexist through cooperation. Since these monks also train Pokémon, it's a good opportunity to train before challenging the Violet Gym.

Collect the X Accuracy and climb the southern ladder.

3F

Pick up the Potion and head north. It seems that Elder Li has just been defeated by Silver. The elder scolds him for being too harsh on his Pokémon, then Silver leaves via an Escape Rope. Grab the Escape Rope to the east, then speak to Li to be drawn into battle.

Violet City

Violet Gym

Violet Gym

Violet City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Falkner
The Elegant Master of Flying Pokémon

The Violet Gym specializes in Flying-type Pokémon. Rock and Electric moves are super effective. A Geodude from Dark Cave learns Rock Throw, and a Mareep from Route 32 to the south learns Thunder Shock, but neutrally effective moves like Ember or Water Gun can work just fine. Avoid using Grass and Bug Pokémon. Falkner will use Roost often, so be ready for a long battle. Being slightly overtrained for this gym is a big help, as the more damage you can do in one turn, the more turns Falkner will waste using Roost. Step onto the wooden platform to reach the elevated walkway. This S-shaped battlefield has a Gym Trainer at each end, but it is possible to avoid both and reach Falkner immediately by traveling along the glass tiles on either side.

Violet Gym Trainers Trainer Pokémon Bird Keeper Abe Reward: $288 Spearow♂ Lv.9 No item Bird Keeper Rod Reward: $224 Pidgey♂ Lv.7 No item Pidgey♂ Lv.7 No item Leader Falkner Violet Gym HeartGold and SoulSilver Leader and Professor Falkner Oak Violet Gym HeartGold and SoulSilver Reward: $1560 Types: Normal Flying Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Pidgey♂ Lv.9 Tackle Normal Physical   --       Sand-Attack Ground Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Types: Normal Flying Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Pidgeotto♂ Lv.13 Tackle Normal Physical   --       Roost Flying Status   --       Gust Flying Special   --       Curse Unknown Status   --

Defeated, Falkner awards you the Zephyr Badge, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 20, and enables the use of Rock Smash in the field. You can now pick up the hidden Hyper Potion east of the Pokémon Academy. He also hands over TM51 (Roost) as a prize. Roost restores 50% of the user's maximum HP, and Flying-types that use it are treated as non-Flying-types until the next turn.

A Favor

Elm calls when you leave the Gym, and asks that you speak with his aide inside the Poké Mart. The aide asks that you take care of the Mystery Egg, which will eventually hatch into a Togepi with the special Extrasensory move. The professor will call again when the Egg hatches, asking to see it; visit him with Togepi as the lead Pokémon to receive an Everstone.

Kimono Girl 1

Upon leaving the Poké Mart, you meet one of the Kimono Girls, five sisters from Ecruteak City's Dance Theater. She shows an interest in the "important" Egg, and asks that you take good care of it before leaving to the south.

Route 36

The next destination is Route 32 to the south, but detour to Route 36 in the west first. Speak to the man to receive HM06 (Rock Smash), a move that can now be used anytime in the field, thanks to the Zephyr Badge. On Thursdays, Arthur of the Week Siblings can be found here; speaking to him will result in a Hard Stone on the first meeting, and a Careless Ribbon after meeting all his siblings.
