TRAINER TIPS

PokéGram is FIRERED and LEAFGREEN, played inside Telegram! The battles, the moves and the TRAINERS are the game's own. What's new is the road. You choose where to go, and the trip takes real time!

Open @pokegram_gbot and press 🎮 Play. The first thing you do is choose!

Where does your journey begin?

KANTOPROF. OAK is waiting in PALLET TOWN with BULBASAUR, CHARMANDER or SQUIRTLE, and five POKé BALLS for the road.

JOHTOPROF. ELM is waiting in NEW BARK TOWN with CHIKORITA, CYNDAQUIL or TOTODILE. His AIDE has a POTION for you. MR. POKéMON, in his house on ROUTE 30 past CHERRYGROVE CITY, has a MYSTERY EGG for the PROF. Bring it home for five POKé BALLS, and watch for SILVER on the way back!

Eight GYMS and a POKéMON LEAGUE either way! The region you choose is your home. The other one comes after. See KANTO & JOHTO!

Every journey begins in KANTO for now. JOHTO opens Thursday 5 November! See KANTO & JOHTO!

The five tabs

MAPAll of the world you know. Every journey starts here!

TOWNWhere you stand. The POKéMON CENTER, the POKé MART, the GYM, people and other TRAINERS.

BAGITEMS, KEY ITEMS, TMs and BERRIES.

PARTYYour six POKéMON, and Settings for EXP. Points and Auto battle.

CARDYour TRAINER CARD. BADGES, POKéDEX, BP, battles and your island.

See a ! on PARTY? A POKéMON wants to learn a move or evolve! A ! on TOWN means somebody here has something for you. Some people stand on a ROUTE, as in the game! Stop there and look under PEOPLE.

A day on the road

1. Pick a place on the MAP and press Depart!
2. Close the app. A wild POKéMON or a TRAINER stops you? Telegram sends word!
3. Press ⚔️ Battle to fight it yourself, or 🤖 Auto-battle to let the game fight it for you.
4. After the battle you walk on. A 🏁 message says when you arrive.
5. Heal up, shop, take on the GYM… then off to the next place!

A road takes time on the clock. The longer it is on the old GBA map, the longer the walk! The DAY CARE, a GYM hold and your island all grow by the real hour too.

Journeys and legs

KANTO has 61 places. 10 towns, 5 landmarks and 46 stops along the roads! Going from one place to the next is a leg. A ROUTE is three or four legs.

The BICYCLE makes every road three times faster! Just keep it in your BAG. The time on the MAP already counts it.

Out on the road

• The longer the road, the more you meet on it! Something turns up about every six minutes.
• TRAINERS you haven't beaten step out to battle. SNORLAX and your rival wait at their own spots.
• When something happens, you stop and battle. You walk on once it's over!
• On the way you can Stop at the next place or Turn back. Not in the middle of a battle, though!
• You need a healthy POKéMON to set out. And no challenge or trade waiting on an answer!

FLY and TELEPORT

No waiting with these! FLY needs the THUNDERBADGE and a POKéMON in your party that knows FLY. It takes you to any town or landmark you've visited. It also lands at the DAY CARE on ROUTE 5! You can't FLY out of a cave, and not to or from the POKéISLAND or POKéLANTIS.

TELEPORT takes you to the last POKéMON CENTER you healed at. No BADGE needed! An ESCAPE ROPE takes you back to where you walked into the cave!

REPEL counts the road!

ITEM	On foot	By BICYCLE
REPEL	29 min	10 min
SUPER REPEL	57 min	19 min
MAX REPEL	72 min	24 min

It lasts 100, 200 or 250 steps, just like in the game. A long road uses up more of it than a short one! The BICYCLE covers the same steps three times faster, so it runs out three times sooner.

Weak wild POKéMON stay away. TRAINERS still come, though! Turning back uses it up too. While a REPEL works, you can't search the grass or SURF on a ROUTE, and you can't use a second one.

The clock of everything else

• 30 minutes a turn in every battle. Telegram shouts ⏳ Hurry! at 25.
• 30 minutes to answer a challenge or a trade.
• A level every 6 hours at the DAY CARE.
• A RARE CANDY every hour your GYM hold stands, up to 72.
• Once a day for a POKéTOWER climb and for the GAME CORNER's deal.
• 3 days for an offer on the TRADE BOARD.
• 9 in the morning, Lisbon time. Your island's news, if there is any!
• Friday at midnight, Lisbon time. A new POKéTOWER week begins!

Morning, day and night turn on the game's own clock! Some POKéMON only come out at certain hours.

Every battle is FIRERED's battle, move by move. The damage, the abilities, how TRAINERS think and how POKé BALLS work. All the same! What's new is who presses the buttons, and when.

A battle never lives on your phone. Close the app and nothing is lost! Come back and you'll see what you missed, and the latest turn plays out on the field.

The two auto-battles

Both fight the way a real TRAINER would, like a GYM LEADER picking moves. Both work only against wild POKéMON and TRAINERS on the road.

What auto-battle will and won't do

• It picks strong moves and skips useless ones, just like a TRAINER would.
• A POKéMON fainted? It sends out your highest level one.
• It never opens your BAG, never switches, never runs and never throws a POKé BALL!
• It won't learn new moves. Those wait for you in PARTY as NEW MOVE.
• Not against other players, in ranked, in the SAFARI ZONE, in a GYM hold or in the POKéTOWER.
• Never against a legendary. "A legendary POKéMON! This one is yours to fight."

Sharing EXP. Points

Choose how in PARTY › Settings!

The game's own boosts still count! More EXP. Points from TRAINERS, for a traded POKéMON and with a LUCKY EGG. An EXP. SHARE holder takes half.

TRAINERS in a row

In a GYM, or a place like the S.S. ANNE, TRAINERS come in runs of up to three, one right after another, from the door in. No healing, shopping or leaving until the run is over! Lose one battle and the whole run is back on its feet. The GYM LEADER is never part of a run, so you can always heal before the big fight. The five KIMONO GIRLS of the DANCE THEATER are one run of five, and TEAM ROCKET holds the RADIO TOWER in runs of up to six!

Blacking out

Nobody left standing? You wake up at your last POKéMON CENTER with half your money gone! Losing in the POKéTOWER, to a wanderer on your island or in a GYM hold challenge never blacks you out.

What? It's evolving!

A POKéMON that evolves by level waits until the battle is over. Look for the EVOLVE chip in PARTY! Press Stop Evolving, or Telegram's Back, and it asks again next level. Stones and trades don't wait, just like in the game.

Wild POKéMON find you on the road. Want to go looking? Stop at a ROUTE and open it from the TOWN tab!

Where they hide

GRASS · FOREST · CAVEStep in and see what lives there!

SURFYou need a POKéMON in your party that knows SURF.

FISHEach ROD pulls up different POKéMON, just like in the game.

FIRERED and LEAFGREEN are one game here! EKANS and SANDSHREW, GROWLITHE and VULPIX, ODDISH and BELLSPROUT all live in the same KANTO.

Shiny POKéMON are as rare as ever, one in 8,192. The Telegram card says ✨ when you meet one! And a shiny is always a strong one. At least 3 of its six IVs are at their best!

The SAFARI ZONE

For just ₽500, you can play the SAFARI GAME! You get 30 SAFARI BALLS and 600 steps. Would you like to play?

It's in FUCHSIA CITY. Your steps are used up by what you do, not by walking!

There are four areas: CENTER, AREA 1 (EAST), AREA 2 (NORTH) and AREA 3 (WEST). BAIT and ROCKS work just like in the game. When your steps run out… "PA: Ding-dong! Time's up!" You can leave early too. Nothing else can be done while you play!

A legendary never jumps out of the grass. It waits in its place for you! Travel there and Telegram says "👁 It won't go anywhere. Get ready, then challenge it!" Then challenge it when your team is set.

Not in this world

The 251 POKéMON of KANTO and JOHTO live here. No SEVII ISLANDS and no DEOXYS! RAIKOU, ENTEI and SUICUNE don't roam. They wait in JOHTO. HOENN is on the world map, but… "A fierce STORM blocks the way!"

Most things are right where FIRERED keeps them. These are the ones that moved, changed hands, or are brand new!

• CELADON DEPT. STORE sells TM05, 15, 28, 31, 43 and 45.
• The GAME CORNER has every TM the shops don't sell. 44 of them, for 25, 40 or 60 BP!

• HEADBUTT is no TM here! The man shaking trees in ILEX FOREST teaches it for free. (CRYSTAL: TM02)

ITEMS on the ground

ROUTES, caves and the POWER PLANT have the items the GBA map has. Hidden ones need the ITEMFINDER!

Indoors too! SILPH CO., the ROCKET HIDEOUT, the POKéMON MANSION, the S.S. ANNE, POKéMON TOWER, CERULEAN CAVE and the UNDERGROUND PATH keep what the GBA left on their floors. Stand in the town, open People and look under Inside! A floor opens once you've beaten the TRAINERS on it.

Careful! Grab something on a ROUTE and a TRAINER or a wild POKéMON may jump you. Towns are safe.

The eight GYM LEADERS and their teams are FIRERED's own. But some of the doors to them open a new way!

What opens what

The ELITE FOUR

At INDIGO PLATEAU, with 8 BADGES. LORELEI, BRUNO, AGATHA, LANCE and the CHAMPION. Five battles in a row! You can use your BAG between them, but there's no POKéMON CENTER and no leaving. Lose once and you black out!

Win, and you're in the HALL OF FAME! Your TRAINER CARD gets a wreath. The very first TRAINER into the HALL OF FAME won STEVEN STONE's look. Nobody can win it twice!

ELITE GYMS

After the HALL OF FAME, all eight GYMS open again, stronger than ever! Take them in BADGE order, PEWTER CITY first. Every POKéMON is at its very best, with moves to cover its weak spots. GYM LEADERS carry FULL RESTORES. Runs go up to five TRAINERS, with no healing between!

Beat an elite GYM LEADER and your BADGE gets a gold ring! There's no ninth BADGE. It pays 5 BP. Rings open four places again too: the FIGHTING DOJO (after CERULEAN), the S.S. ANNE (after CELADON), POKéMON TOWER (after SAFFRON) and SILPH CO. (after VIRIDIAN). GIOVANNI waits there at Lv 97, his ace at Lv 100! Those four pay money only.

Holding a GYM

My three have held VERMILION GYM for two days! That's a lot of RARE CANDY waiting for me!

Only in PokéGram! Leave three POKéMON in a GYM whose BADGE you have. Two must be the GYM's type. Either type counts, so a GYARADOS can guard MISTY's GYM! It costs 5 BP, and they battle by themselves while you're away.

• Every full hour they stand earns a RARE CANDY, up to 72. That's three days! You get them when your team comes home.
• Telegram tells every TRAINER about it! Anyone standing in that GYM can challenge for 1 BP. No BADGE needed.
• It's three against three at Lv 50, fought by copies. Nobody's real POKéMON get hurt!
• Your team wins? You earn 3 BP, or 1 BP for a draw. The loser waits 6 hours to try you again.
• The challenger wins? They earn 5 BP. It takes two different winners to send your team home. Then the GYM is empty again, and your team still brings its RARE CANDY!
• Their three stay a secret until the battle starts! Call yours home from the GYM any time, unless someone is battling them.
• Hold as many GYMS as you can pay for, one team in each.

JOHTO opens Thursday 5 November! Eight new GYMS and a new LEAGUE, west across the sea!

Until then every journey begins in KANTO, and the ships sail to your island and to POKéLANTIS. Look for JOHTO under the clouds on the MAP!

Two regions, each with eight GYMS and a POKéMON LEAGUE of its own! The one you begin in is your home. The other waits across the sea, and it's a whole second game.

Crossing the sea

Win the POKéMON LEAGUE at home and the ships will take you across. Not before! "Only CHAMPIONS may sail to JOHTO!"

From KANTOSAIL from VERMILION CITY. You land in NEW BARK TOWN, right by PROF. ELM's LAB.

From JOHTOSAIL from NEW BARK TOWN or OLIVINE CITY. You land in PALLET TOWN, right by PROF. OAK's LAB.

Two teams

Your home team stays home. PARTY, BOXES, BAG, money and BADGES all wait for you there! Your POKéDEX, your BP and your island are yours wherever you are.

Sail home and your home team is back, and the new team waits in its turn. A TRAINER from KANTO can sail home from JOHTO any time. A TRAINER from JOHTO has a walk first. PALLET TOWN has no port! KANTO's ships leave VERMILION CITY, once the S.S. ANNE is clear. Once you've stood in VERMILION CITY, the ship from JOHTO lands there too.

Home team onlyRanked battles, the TRADE BOARD and GYM holds. "Your JOHTO team can't do that yet!" On the islands it's always your home team that steps ashore.

Prizes go homeWhatever you win at the POKéTOWER lands with your home team.

Either teamLink battles and trades face to face. The team you're playing sets the rules with its own BADGES.

One team, one land

Win the second POKéMON LEAGUE and your two teams become one! The party that won stays your party. Your home party moves into the PC. Both BAGS and both purses join up. Anything the BAG can't hold is sold for you.

The land is one too! VICTORY ROAD joins KANTO and JOHTO at INDIGO PLATEAU, and you can FLY and TELEPORT from one to the other.

What the ships ask

The ferry home from an island lands in VERMILION CITY, or in OLIVINE CITY if your journey began in JOHTO.

What belongs to each

GYM holds, elite GYMS, LEGEND 4 and MEWTWO's cave are KANTO's. They ask for KANTO's own BADGES and HALL OF FAME, wherever you began.

HO-OH and LUGIA show themselves once you've won the JOHTO LEAGUE. MT. SILVER opens when both LEAGUES are yours.

Evolution is the same everywhere! Every POKéMON evolves when it's ready. Nothing waits for the HALL OF FAME.

JOHTO's towns, GYMS, TRAINERS and wild POKéMON come from CRYSTAL. The battles are FIRERED's! Every POKéMON has its ABILITY and NATURE, and fights with GEN 3's moves and rules.

The clock

MORNING lasts two hours longer than CRYSTAL's, which ends at 10:00! ESPEON still evolves from 4:00 to 17:59 and UMBREON at night.

There are no weekdays. LAPRAS in UNION CAVE and the seven weekday siblings come any day, once each. (CRYSTAL: LAPRAS on Fridays)

Getting around

• No ROUTE 27 to KANTO and no MAGNET TRAIN. The ships cross the sea. VICTORY ROAD joins the two regions at INDIGO PLATEAU once both LEAGUES are yours!
• WHIRLPOOL is the GLACIER BADGE alone, since GEN 3 has no such move.
• ROCK SMASH is HM06, so you never lose it. (CRYSTAL: TM08)
• HEADBUTT is free from the man in ILEX FOREST, as often as you like. (CRYSTAL: TM02)
• ROUTE 30's TRAINERS and the way to ROUTE 31 wait until the MYSTERY EGG reaches PROF. ELM's AIDE. MR. POKéMON first, then home, then onward!
• No BUG-CATCHING CONTEST, and the RUINS OF ALPH's puzzles are already solved. Its UNOWN come in one form.

Legendaries

• RAIKOU and ENTEI don't run! They wait at Lv 40 once the BURNED TOWER is clear, RAIKOU on ROUTE 38 and ENTEI on ROUTE 36. (CRYSTAL: they roam)
• SUICUNE waits at Lv 40 on ROUTE 42 once the RADIO TOWER is clear. (CRYSTAL: the TIN TOWER)
• HO-OH and LUGIA need no wings, just the JOHTO LEAGUE won. LUGIA also needs WATERFALL. (CRYSTAL: the RAINBOW WING and the SILVER WING)
• CELEBI has no shrine and no GS BALL. Any wild POKéMON you meet in JOHTO's grass, water or trees may be CELEBI, 1 time in 16,384!
• The red GYARADOS and LAPRAS wait for SURF, as ever.

Wild POKéMON

• Six of JOHTO's own were nowhere in JOHTO's grass. Now they are! SNEASEL in DARK CAVE at night, LARVITAR in UNION CAVE in the morning, MURKROW in ILEX FOREST at night, MISDREAVUS in the BURNED TOWER at every hour, HOUNDOUR on ROUTE 36 by morning and day, and SLUGMA in MT. MORTAR's grass at night.
• TEDDIURSA walks ROUTE 38's grass in the morning and by day.
• The ICE PATH, ROUTES 26 and 27, TOHJO FALLS and VICTORY ROAD are a few levels higher, to match the TRAINERS there.
• Every one of the 251 has a way in. KANTO gets GSC's night POKéMON on 22 of its roads, too!
• Once both LEAGUES are yours, ROUTES 7, 16, 17 and 18 switch to GSC's grass, as in GOLD and SILVER's KANTO. SNUBBULL, MURKROW, HOUNDOUR and SLUGMA live there!

TRAINERS

• The TRAINERS of ROUTES 26, 27, 42, 43 and 44 and TOHJO FALLS are a few levels up. SILVER's last fight in VICTORY ROAD is Lv 37 to 41.
• Rematches are by PHONE. MOM gives you a PokéMobile instead of a POKéGEAR. TRAINERS you beat call you, up to 3 times a day, and wait on their road with the strongest team they're allowed. A missed call costs you nothing!
• The five KIMONO GIRLS are one run, and TEAM ROCKET holds its HIDEOUT a floor at a time.
• RED on MT. SILVER fights with your own team: the six that first won you the KANTO LEAGUE, at Lv 73 to 81. Were you CHAMPION before 30 October? Then he brings CRYSTAL's. (CRYSTAL: a team of his own)

Items and gifts

• GEN 2 items with no GEN 3 twin are gone. The BERRY is an ORAN BERRY, the PINK BOW a SILK SCARF, and DJ MARY gives a SHELL BELL instead.
• The gentleman in the DANCE THEATER gives a SOOTHE BELL with HM03, once all five KIMONO GIRLS are beaten. Just once!
• The S.S. AQUA's CAPTAIN gives the METAL COAT once you have the FOG BADGE, so STEELIX and SCIZOR are yours before the LEAGUE.
• TM51 to TM67 are the GEN 2 TMs that GEN 3 dropped. The GYM LEADERS give their own, GOLDENROD sells three, and the GAME CORNER has the rest.
• GOLDENROD's GAME CORNER is CELADON's, in BP. No COINS!
• MAHOGANY's MART stays shut until the ROCKET HIDEOUT is clear. (CRYSTAL: TEAM ROCKET sells junk there until then)

EGGS and friendship

• The DAY-CARE on ROUTE 34 breeds by FIRERED's rules. An EGG hatches by the clock, one hour per EGG cycle in your party, not by steps!
• ELM's AIDE's TOGEPI comes as an EGG.
• Friendship grows on the clock while your party walks, and from GYM LEADERS, TMs and vitamins.
• Nothing waits for the HALL OF FAME. Every POKéMON evolves when it's ready!

Every player shares one world! Stand in a town and see who else is there, and the POKéMON walking with them.

Who's here?

A town shows the TRAINERS who've played there this week. A green dot means they're around right now! Tap Actions › Players to challenge them or trade.

Open a POKéMON's Summary in PARTY and press Walk with me. It follows you around every town, and everyone sees it!

Link battles

Challenge a TRAINER standing in the same place as you. Your island counts as your home port! That's VERMILION CITY, or OLIVINE CITY if your journey began in JOHTO. You need at least one BADGE. Both your BADGES set the rules, and the smaller one wins.

• The challenger picks the level and how many POKéMON. They get 30 minutes to answer! Once it's on, both of you pick your team.
• Everyone battles as copies at that level. After, your POKéMON come home just as their copies ended. Hurt, low on PP, or fainted!
• No money on the line. Unless your whole party is down, then you black out as usual.
• Every POKéMON you brought gets EXP. Points!
• The winner gets 3 BP, the loser 1 BP. A draw is 1 BP each. The same two TRAINERS get BP once a day.

Ranked battles

For TRAINERS with all 8 BADGES of their home region! Join from the POKéSTADIUM in POKéLANTIS, the BATTLE HALL on your island, or any GYM.

1. Bring six POKéMON, from your party or your PC, and ₽1,000. They're away until it's over. You need one more to carry! No legendaries allowed. ZAPDOS, ARTICUNO, MOLTRES, MEWTWO and MEW sit this one out!
2. You're matched with a TRAINER close to your rating. The longer you wait, the wider it looks!
3. You both see each other's six. Pick four, in order, within 3 minutes. Don't pick and you lose!
4. Everyone battles at Lv 50. The winner takes ₽10,000! A draw hands back both entry fees.

Everyone starts at a rating of 1000. Only ranked battles move it! You join the ladder after 5 ranked battles, and the fifth pays a one-time 20 BP! Ranked pays BP too. 10 for a win, 5 for a draw, 5 for a loss. Nobody came within the hour? You get it all back. Leave the queue early and you get ₽500 back.

CHALLENGE a TRAINER! Rather pick your opponent? Send a ranked battle straight to any TRAINER with all 8 BADGES. You bring your six and ₽1,000 as for the queue. They get a message and have 1 hour to take it up with their own six! Turned down or no answer? You get it all back. Take it back yourself and you get ₽500. The battle, the prize, the BP and the rating are all ranked's.

2 v 2! Join the 2 v 2 queue alone and you're paired with a TRAINER near your rating. Or team up with a TRAINER you ask yourself, as for a CHALLENGE! You each bring six and ₽1,000. Once the match is found, pick three, in order, within 3 minutes. Don't pick and your first three go out! Everyone battles at Lv 50. The two winners share ₽30,000, ₽15,000 each! A draw hands back every fee. BP and rating are ranked's, the same for both partners, and 2 v 2 counts toward your five. Run out of time and your team loses, but only you pay for it. You lose twice the rating and your ₽1,000. Your partner keeps their rating and gets their ₽1,000 back.

RENTAL POKéMON! Up to 3 of your six can be other TRAINERS' POKéMON. They fight just as their TRAINER raised them! Offer up to 3 of your own from the same screen. You get 1 BP each time one of them fights a ranked battle. An offered POKéMON stays away until you take it back!

Every ranked battle shows up on the ranked channel with 👀 Watch live. And MOM in PALLET TOWN is keeping count. A PONYTA after 5 ranked battles, a MAGMAR after 50!

Trades

Face to face: offer a trade to a TRAINER in the same place. They have 30 minutes to answer! You can't trade away your last healthy POKéMON. POKéMON that evolve by trade evolve right away.

A traded POKéMON earns more EXP. Points! But it only obeys up to your BADGES. Lv 10 with none, Lv 30 with 2, Lv 50 with 4, Lv 70 with 6, and all of them with 8.

The TRADE BOARD (POKéMON CENTER › Board): put one POKéMON up, and ask for a kind of POKéMON (or any!) at the level you like. It stays up for 3 days, and goes up on the PokéTrade channel right away. Whoever has a match can take it! Look from anywhere, but trade at a POKéMON CENTER.

Clear the S.S. ANNE and the ferry in VERMILION CITY will SAIL you to your very own island! Did your journey begin in JOHTO? Then beat everyone in OLIVINE CITY's LIGHTHOUSE, and SAIL from NEW BARK TOWN or OLIVINE CITY. Nobody else can stand on it. You can't FLY or TELEPORT there. SAIL is the only way!

HOME

Your own POKéMON CENTER! Rest, the PC and the TRADE BOARD. The NAME RATER and the MOVE MANIAC live here from day one. The BATTLE HALL is where you join ranked battles.

Growing your island

There are five buildings, and each one grows three times. Each time, a POKéMON moves in for good. It leaves your party and your BOXES forever! Your POKéDEX remembers it, and whatever it held goes back to your BAG.

Who can move in? One of these for each step! KANTO's are on the left, JOHTO's on the right. Mix them as you like. You don't need to have been to JOHTO.

HOME, step by step

• Step 1: a little POKé MART opens! POKé BALL, GREAT BALL, POTION, SUPER POTION, ANTIDOTE, PARLYZ HEAL and REPEL. Been to JOHTO? Then MOOMOO MILK too, ₽500 a bottle!
• Step 2: BERRIES sell here for their full price, not half!
• Step 3: remember one forgotten move for free, once a day.

BERRY FARM

Two beds, then four from step 1. A crop takes a whole day to grow. Water it once between hours 8 and 16, and once between 16 and 24! It gives 3 BERRIES, and one less for each watering you forget. From step 2 it waters itself. Step 3 adds one more BERRY to every crop!

PLAYPEN

A free DAY CARE of your own! It holds 2 POKéMON, then 3, then 4. They grow a level every 6 hours, every 4 from step 2. At step 3 they also get stronger in their best stat as they grow!

EGGS from step 2! Pick two POKéMON in the PLAYPEN as the pair. They look for an EGG once every 60 minutes, every 30 at step 3. The rules are the DAY-CARE's on ROUTE 34, and so are the odds. An EGG waits in the PLAYPEN until you take it, free. Your party needs room! Your island's report says when one turns up.

LAKE

Any ROD works here! 3 casts a day, then 5 from step 2. At step 3 they come back every 12 hours. One cast in four hooks an ITEM instead. BERRIES, a PEARL, a BIG PEARL from step 1, a NUGGET from step 2!

Bigger lake, better bites! MAGIKARP, GOLDEEN, POLIWAG, PSYDUCK, STARYU, CHINCHOU and REMORAID. Then HORSEA, KRABBY, SHELLDER, TENTACOOL, QWILFISH and CORSOLA. Then SEADRA, KINGLER, CLOYSTER, SLOWBRO, LANTURN and a rare DRATINI. Then GYARADOS, DRAGONAIR, MANTINE and a rare LAPRAS! They're 5 levels higher every step.

EXPLORATION

Go exploring once a day, twice from step 2, every 12 hours at step 3. You might find a BERRY, an ITEM, a wild POKéMON or a wandering TRAINER. Losing to the wanderer costs you nothing!

Wild ones: PIDGEY, RATTATA, SANDSHREW, DIGLETT. Then PIDGEOTTO, RATICATE, GROWLITHE, VULPIX. Then EXEGGCUTE, TANGELA, SCYTHER, PINSIR. And then… CHANSEY! The ITEMS get better too. POKé BALLS and POTIONS, then ULTRA BALLS, REVIVES and TMs, then the four stones, then RARE CANDY and PP UP. From step 1, six BERRIES turn up too: POMEG, KELPSY, QUALOT, HONDEW, GREPA and TAMATO. Each lowers one base stat of a POKéMON by 10 and makes it friendlier! They're found only here.

Been to JOHTO? Then JOHTO comes to your island too! SENTRET, HOOTHOOT, LEDYBA and SPINARAK. Then HOPPIP, AIPOM, SUNKERN and MAREEP. Then YANMA, STANTLER, GIRAFARIG and HERACROSS. And then SKARMORY! A SUN STONE turns up from step 2. It's found only here! A KING'S ROCK and a METAL COAT turn up at step 3. SCHOOLBOYS, POKéFANS and SAGES wander ashore with their own POKéMON.

A brand-new city! SAIL there from VERMILION CITY once the S.S. ANNE is clear, or straight from your island. From JOHTO the ships leave NEW BARK TOWN and OLIVINE CITY. Unlike your island, everybody shares it. Meet other TRAINERS, battle them and trade! You can't FLY in or out.

POKéMON CENTERHeal, the PC and the TRADE BOARD.

POKé MARTThe good stuff! ULTRA BALL, FULL RESTORE, MAX POTION, HYPER POTION, REVIVE, FULL HEAL, MAX REPEL, ESCAPE ROPE.

GAME CORNERA second one, with the same SLOTS and the same prizes as CELADON CITY's.

POKéSTADIUMRanked battles and LEGEND 4!

POKéTOWEROne climb a day on rental POKéMON. The top climber wins a prize!

DOCKSAIL back home or to your island.

The TOWN HALL is still closed, and two lots are being built. Something's coming!

The POKéTOWER

One climb a day! Pick 6 of 12 rental POKéMON, all Lv 50, in the order they go out. No ITEMS! They're healed before every floor. Win, and you must swap. Take one of the beaten TRAINER's POKéMON and give one of yours! The climb ends when you lose, and losing costs nothing.

• The TRAINERS are Lv 50 up to floor 14. After that they gain a level every 2 floors, all the way to Lv 100 at floor 114. They get smarter and tougher too!
• Every floor you win pays a prize right away. POTIONS and POKé BALLS low down, REVIVES and FULL RESTORES in the 20s, RARE CANDY and PP UP from floor 31.
• Every 10th floor pays a TM and BP. 1 BP below floor 50, 2 BP up to 99, 3 BP from 100!
• Your best climb of the week is your score. Climb highest by Friday at midnight, Lisbon time, and the week's prize POKéMON is yours! A LAPRAS, a SNORLAX, a PORYGON or an EEVEE, week by week. From 6 November JOHTO's POKéMON join the climb, and the prize is a LARVITAR, a HERACROSS, a SKARMORY or an EEVEE! A tie goes to whoever got there first.

LEGEND 4

…

Beat the ELITE FOUR and the POKéSTADIUM has one more door for you! LEGEND 4 is the four strongest TRAINERS there are, and a new lineup stands there every day at midnight, Lisbon time. There are 50 lineups in all!

• Four LEGENDS back to back. RED, BLUE, LANCE, LORELEI, BRUNO, AGATHA, STEVEN, GIOVANNI, SABRINA, BLAINE, ERIKA or LT. SURGE!
• Each has six Lv 100 POKéMON, at their very best, with held items and the strongest moves they can learn.
• Nobody knows the order! Any of the four may come first, and any may come last.
• You battle with your own party. No BAG in battle, and no switching after a faint. Between battles, use your BAG all you like!
• No POKéMON CENTER and no leaving until it's over. Lose once and you black out!
• Beat all four and earn BP! 25 BP if you're the first TRAINER in the world to beat that day's lineup, 10 BP if someone got there first. Once a day each!

The GAME CORNER

Wins seem to come and go. Nothing's a sure thing! Hey, at least there are no COINS to lose here. It's all BP!

In CELADON CITY, GOLDENROD CITY and POKéLANTIS, the same SLOTS and one prize counter for all three. It runs on BP. No COINS, no COIN CASE!

• SLOTS: the same reels as FIRERED. Bet 1 to 3 BP. Each BP plays one more line: the middle, then the top, then the bottom. 7-7-7 pays 100! ROCKET 30, PIKACHU or PSYDUCK 5, MAGNEMITE or SHELLDER 3, cherries 1 or 2. They pay back a little less than you put in, so play for fun!
• ODD EGG: CRYSTAL's ODD EGG, in a capsule machine! POKé 30 BP, GREAT 80 BP, ULTRA 200 BP. POKé holds one of seven baby POKéMON. GREAT adds TOGEPI and three perfect IVs. ULTRA adds DRATINI and LARVITAR, and it's always shiny! The others are 5% shiny. Every EGG knows DIZZY PUNCH and hatches in 20 hours in your party. Up to 10 a day, and the machine shows the odds!
• The prize counter: ABRA (15 BP), CLEFAIRY (25), DRATINI (60), SCYTHER (100), PORYGON (150), 44 TMs, and the ITEMS in WHERE IS IT?
• Today's deal: a new one every day! Most days it's a TM or an ITEM from the counter for a third of its price. One day in 10 it's a rare POKéMON for 250 BP: BULBASAUR, CHARMANDER, SQUIRTLE, EEVEE, LAPRAS or SNORLAX! One deal a day each.

The DAY CARE

On ROUTE 5. It's the one stop on a ROUTE you can FLY to! Leave one POKéMON from your party, or right out of your PC. It grows a level every 6 hours.

• It never evolves there.
• New move and no room? It forgets its oldest one. Telegram tells you which!
• It costs ₽100 for every level it grew, plus ₽100. It comes back healed.
• They won't take the last POKéMON you're carrying.

Nicknames

You name a POKéMON once, for free, when it becomes yours. After that, see the NAME RATER in LAVENDER TOWN or on your island. He charges ₽10,000! He'll even rename a traded one. Its old names stay on its Summary forever.

The MOVE MANIAC

In the house by the SAFARI ZONE gate in FUCHSIA CITY, and on your island. He helps a POKéMON remember a move it could have learned by now, for 1 BP. Asking is free! You only pay once it learns.

The HEADBUTT tutor

The ROCKER shaking trees in ILEX FOREST teaches HEADBUTT. It's free, and he'll teach as many POKéMON as you like! Then HEADBUTT the trees in JOHTO. Sometimes, sleeping POKéMON fall out!

BILL's PC

14 BOXES of 30, at any POKéMON CENTER. Search, sort and filter as much as you like. Your BOXES stay just the way they are! Tap ☆ to star a favorite. Release a POKéMON and its ITEM comes back to your BAG.

BILL's MOBILE PC lets you look in your BOXES from anywhere (CARD › PokéMobile). You can look, but a POKéMON only comes out at a POKéMON CENTER!

Your look

Tap your picture on the TRAINER CARD to change it! RED, LEAF, BRENDAN and MAY are free. The OLD MAN is for a POKéDEX of 150, everything but MEW. The GOLD OLD MAN is for 250 POKéMON, KANTO and JOHTO together. Spaceboy is for SpaceGram's commanders. STEVEN STONE went to the very first CHAMPION. WALLY went to the first TRAINER to beat JOHTO's ELITE FOUR and LANCE.

You start with ₽3,000. TRAINERS pay you, shops take it, and selling gets you half. Black out and you drop half of it!

BATTLE POINTS (BP) are your second wallet. Check them on your TRAINER CARD!
