Tips

  • Start here

    Buy potions before Mt. Moon

    The cave is longer than the route before it. A few potions and an antidote prevent a walk back to the Pokémon Center.

  • Secrets

    MissingNo. is a glitch, not a goal

    The old MissingNo. trick can corrupt a save. Use a guide's item list instead of the coast glitch if you care about the file.
