Goldenrod City

Goldenrod City

Welcome to Goldenrod, the largest metropolis in Johto and sister city to Saffron in Kanto. This sprawling city boasts several major attractions, including a Pokémon Gym, Bike Shop, Game Corner, Radio Tower, and Department Store. There is so much to do in the big city that it is easy to forget about a single shady character. But with a Rocket Grunt keeping tabs on the Radio Tower, expect to save the city sooner or later. But first thing's first, let's see the sights!

Goldenrod Department Store

Located just east of the Pokémon Center, the Goldenrod Department Store is the largest shop in Johto. The behemoth building consists of eight floors, including the rooftop and basement, and has a wide array of items up for sale.

The TM Corner offers a handful of different TMs for sale. Some of these attacks are very powerful at this part of the game, so consider buying whichever TMs your Pokémon can learn. On Sundays, there is a second shopkeeper who gives out TM27 (Return) if your lead Pokémon is happy, and TM21 (Frustration) if it is unhappy.

Also on 5F, there is a man who is hoping to trade his Machop for a Drowzee. Drowzee are common on Routes 34 and 35, and the Machop received in return will have an advantage at the Goldenrod Gym, and holds a Macho Brace which doubles effort value growth.

Game Corner

At Goldenrod Game Corner, players can win coins by playing the new Voltorb Flip game. The game features a 5×5 grid of tiles, underneath which are numbers (which multiply the current score) and Voltorb (which Selfdestruct, dropping the score to zero). The total number of points and Voltorb in each set of five cards is noted on the edge of the field. The game advances to more difficult levels once all of the 2× and 3× multipliers have been found. Higher levels give the player a chance to win several hundred coins at a time, which can be redeemed for prizes. Talk to Mr. Game to receive a Coin Case, and start saving up!

Bill's House

Bill, the inventor of the Pokémon PC Storage system, lives on the waterfront with his mother and sister. He is currently away on business in Ecruteak City, but since you are using his storage system, his sister gives out his phone number. Calling Bill is a useful way of checking the number of Pokémon stored in the current Box.

After meeting him in Ecruteak, he returns home to Goldenrod. Stop by his house afterwards to receive a gift from him.

Goldenrod Tunnel

The Goldenrod Tunnel runs north-south under the west side of the city, with a small access hallway leading to the basement of the Department Store. The underground hallway houses three shops and a photo booth.

Bargain Shop

The northern shop is only open on Monday mornings, from 4:00am to 9:59am. This merchant deals in valuable items; while having no use themselves, they can be resold elsewhere for decent profit. Each of these items may only be purchased once per week.

Nugget $4500 Pearl $650 Big Pearl $3500 Stardust $900 Star Piece $4600

Pokémon Salon

The Pokémon Salon, the center shop, is operated by two brothers. Their services will raise a Pokémon's friendship, though at different rates. The younger brother^SuWeFr charges $300, while the older brother^TuThSa charges $500. Their shop is closed on Mondays.

Herb Shop

The Herb Shop, the southernmost shop, sells medicinal herbs that heal or revive Pokémon and are less expensive than their traditional counterparts. The downside is that Pokémon do not enjoy their bitter taste, so their friendship rating will decrease slightly as a result. This shop is only open on Saturdays and Sundays.

Energy Root $800 EnergyPowder $500 Revival Herb $2800 Heal Powder $450

Name Rater

The Name Rater lives in the house to the west of the Goldenrod Gym. Like his counterpart in Lavender Town, he evaluates a Pokémon's nickname, and allows the Trainer to think up new nicknames for them.

Mood Tester

The woman in the house near the Bike Shop will evaluate the friendship rating of your lead Pokémon. There are certain Pokémon, like Espeon and Umbreon, that can only be acquired when happy with their Trainer. There are many things that can be done to raise a Pokémon's friendship, like grooming it, feeding it vitamins, or simply walking with it.

Bike Shop

The Bike Shop has moved to the city's southeast neighborhood from Cerulean City in Kanto, but demand has not been very strong. Realizing that you have a lot of traveling to do, the owner offers to loan you a Bicycle in the hopes that the advertising will increase interest, and business will pick up. Riding the bike is faster than traveling on foot, and he gains new customers—everybody's happy!

Magnet Train Station

The Magnet Train Station is located next to the Radio Tower. Currently shut down, this bullet train normally travels between Johto's Goldenrod and Kanto's Saffron twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The other major method of travel between regions—sailing on the S.S. Aqua—runs much less frequently, making the Magnet Train the ideal method of transportation.

Radio Tower

The Radio Tower stands tall directly aside of the train station. Every day, the Pokémon Lottery Corner on 1F draws a lucky number. If this number matches the OT number of any of your Pokémon, then you win a prize! The grand prize is a Master Ball, while other prizes include a Max Revive, Exp. Share, PP Up, and Ultra Ball.

Speak to another woman behind the counter to play a promotional quiz game. Answer all five questions correctly to win a Radio Card for the Pokégear. Once installed, you can tune into the following programs.

After completing the quiz, the local Gym Leader will compliment you before returning to the Gym.

Visit Buena in her second-floor studio to receive the Blue Card, which stores points earned from her password show. By amassing enough points, you can earn valuable prizes.

Prize Value Poké Ball 1p Full Restore 3p Protein 5p Iron 10p

Prize Value Carbos 15p Nugget 20p Rare Candy 25p HP Up 30p

Global Terminal

The Global Terminal is located west of the Radio Tower. Inside, Trainers can interact with others from around the world. Trainers can trade, share pictures of their dressed-up Pokémon and PC Boxes, and share Battle Videos taken with the Vs. Recorder.

Goldenrod Gym

Goldenrod Gym

The Goldenrod Gym specializes in Normal-type Pokémon. Only Fighting-type moves have an advantage here, so the HM06 (Rock Smash) from Route 36 or the TM52 (Focus Blast) from the Department Store can make things much easier. The Gym is designed like a Clefairy, and challengers must navigate around the raised platform to reach the Gym Leader.

Whitney's Clefairy does not post much of a challenge, except for Metronome, which can churn out very powerful attacks, to the detriment of the target, but her Miltank is a troublemaker. Ghost-type Pokémon are typically unaffected by Normal moves, but Miltank's Scrappy ability nullifies this immunity. Its Attract causes infatuation, which restricts opposite-gender foes to attacking only 50% of the time, and Milk Drink allows it to restore its HP. Stomp is a good STAB move, but which can flinch, and Rollout's low base power may not seem like much, but it gets stronger every turn, so end the match quickly before it starts doing serious damage to your team.
