Route 10 (North)

Route 10

In the time it took to obtain the Earth Badge, the last of Kanto's three legendary birds has appeared outside the Power Plant on Route 10.

VS Zapdos

Begin with Rock- and Ice-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Bug-, Grass-, Fighting-, Flying-, and Steel-type moves to chip away at it even further. Consider lulling it to Sleep to restrict its movements, and be sure to bring along some healing items as well.

Cerulean City

Cerulean Cave, 1F

Cerulean Cave, 2F

Cerulean Cave, B1F

Only Trainers who have proven their worth by earning all 16 Badges are permitted to enter Cerulean Cave, a mysterious place on the northwest edge of Cerulean City. To get there, visitors must Surf southward from Route 24.

Cerulean Cave

The mysterious Cerulean Cave is a sprawling cave network that extends deep into the mountains outside Cerulean City. It is impossible to navigate the pitch-black cave without the use of Surf, Rock Smash, and Rock Climb, and difficult to do so without Flash, as well. Before Cinnabar Island's volcano erupted, it is here that the genetically-engineered Pokémon from the island's Pokémon Mansion fled after escaping the facility.

Route 25

Route 25

The Aurora is Calmed

After brief sightings of Suicune in Ecruteak City, Cianwood City, Route 42, Vermilion City, and Route 14, its search for a suitable environment comes to an end at Cerulean Cape. As Eusine once said, it seems to prefer "a hilly place, near water... ...Somewhere north."

When you reach the top of the stairway, Suicune lets out a cry just as Eusine arrives. He is out of breath, and reluctantly admits that he is no match for you. He reveals that he has had a feeling since first meeting you in the Burned Tower that Suicune would choose you. He encourages you to face the legendary creature, pointing out that it is waiting to battle a worthy Trainer that it can trust to be its partner.

VS Suicune

Begin with Grass- and Electric-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Fire-, Water-, Ice-, and Steel-type moves to chip away at it even further. Consider inflicting status ailments like Sleep and Paralysis to restrict its movements, and be sure to bring along some healing items as well.

Silph Co.

The Three Stones

Having defeated Red, return to Saffron City and visit the Silph Co. building. Inside, you find Steven Stone near the information desk on the east side. He is just ending a phone call, but quickly notices you. Seeing that you have a Pokédex, he realizes that you too are searching for Pokémon, and believes that he can help with that. He poses a question to you: "Let's say that you have stones in front of you. Which color would you pick?" The answer given—green stone, red stone, or blue stone—determines which of the three Pokémon from his native Hoenn region that he offers you.

Grass		Fire		Water
	Grovyle		Combusken		Marshtomp

He advises you to take good care of the young Pokémon, then leaves.

Time for a Trade

After speaking to Steven in Pewter City, return to the Silph Co. building to find that he is already here. He can now be found near the statue at the entrance. Speak to him to find that he would like to trade Pokémon. He is willing to part with his Beldum in exchange for a Forretress. Forretress cannot be found in the wild, but its pre-evolved form, Pineco, is a common sight when headbutting trees. His Beldum holds a Dawn Stone.

Item Location Games Blue Orb Northeast house; from Mr. Pokémon, after obtaining a Kanto first partner Pokémon from Professor Oak  HG  Red Orb Northeast house; from Mr. Pokémon, after obtaining a Kanto first partner Pokémon from Professor Oak  SS

Mr. Pokémon's house

Having received a first partner Pokémon from Professor Oak, return to Route 30 and visit Mr. Pokémon. When you enter his home, he immediately informs you that he has something that he would like you to have, and was just about to send an email to Professor Oak. He explains that a friend of his from Hoenn delivered this to him, and fetches the Blue Orb^HG / Red Orb^SS from the cabinet in the corner. He continues, saying that this gemstone is somehow related to the ancient ruins located past Cianwood City, but few Trainers can reach the area. Professor Oak thinks highly of you, so Mr. Pokémon is sure that you can solve the mystery of the Orb and the secret of the ruins.

Roaming (Johto)

After fleeing from the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City, the legendary beasts begin racing across the countryside. While Suicune sets off on its own adventure spanning both Johto and Kanto, Raikou and Entei begin roaming the Johto region. When traveling to a different area, each of the beasts race to a different route. They will also attempt to flee from battle at the first opportunity; this makes Pokémon with trapping Abiliities especially useful, as it blocks the beasts' escape. Speedy Pokémon that act first with sleep-inducing moves are also helpful, as both of the beasts can use Roar to escape otherwise. After seeing them in battle, the Pokégear's Map tracks their movements. If defeated, they will reappear in the Burned Tower after entering the Hall of Fame; they must be interacted with here for them to begin roaming again.

VS Raikou

Once Raikou is unable to flee, begin with Ground-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Flying-, Electric-, and Steel-type moves to chip away at it even further.

Type: Electric Unknown Ability: Pressure Held item: None Raikou Lv.40 Roar Normal Status   --       Quick Attack Normal Physical   --       Spark Electric Physical   --       Reflect Psychic Status   --

VS Entei

Once Entei is unable to flee, begin with Water-, Rock-, and Ground-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Bug-, Grass-, Fire-, Ice-, and Steel-type moves to chip away at it even further.

Type: Fire Unknown Ability: Pressure Held item: None Entei Lv.40 Roar Normal Status   --       Fire Spin Fire Special   --       Stomp Normal Physical   --       Flamethrower Fire Special   --

Roaming (Kanto)

After meeting Steven in Vermilion City, one of the Eon Pokémon begins roaming across Kanto. When traveling to a different area, the Pokémon races to a different route. It will also attempt to flee from battle at the first opportunity; this makes Pokémon with trapping Abiliities especially useful, as it blocks the dragon's escape. Speedy Pokémon that act first with status-inducing moves, like Hypnosis, are also helpful. Its location is tracked in the Pokégear's Map once Steven informs you of its presence in Kanto.

VS Latias^HG / Latios^SS

Begin with Bug-, Ghost-, Dark-, Ice-, and Dragon-type attacks to wear its health down quickly, then follow up with Grass-, Fire-, Water-, Electric-, Psychic-, and Fighting-type moves to chip away at it even further.
