POKEMON Gold And Silver Walkthrough (Gbc) (Complete)

[★★Pokemon fan★★]

Olivine City
---------------

Now that you have the Fog Badge
and Surf, there's a few things you
can do around the place. You may
have noticed that you can gain
access to the Tin Tower (At the
north-east end of town), but there'll
be a monk there guarding the stairs
to the first level. You'll need to
return when you have the Rainbow
Wing.

And now that you have Surf, you can
go some places that you haven't
been to and get some good items or
strong Pokemon. At this stage, you
can head to Mt Mortar and
Mahogany Town to the east, but this
will be covered later. More
opportunities for treasure hunting
will be covered when you get HM04 -
Strength and HM02 - Fly.

Head west from Ecruteak City all the
way until you reach a house with
some Miltank grazing in the grass
outside. Use your Itemfinder to grab
a hidden Nugget among the Miltank.
You'll find out from the owners that
they have a sick Miltank that won't
produce any MooMoo Milk, so head
next door where their two kids are
and feed the Miltank seven Berries
(There's a Berry bush near the
Ecruteak West Gatehouse). Talk to
the farmer's wife and she'll give you
TM13 - Snore as a token of
appreciation.

Continue south to Olivine City,
where, on approaching the Gym,
your rival will appear and tell you
that the Gym Leader's in the
Lighthouse. First of all, head to the
Pokemon Center and heal up. Next
door, talk to the sailor to get HM04.
If today is Monday, you can head
out to the west by the rocks and the
sea to find Monica, who will give you
a Sharp Beak. This hold-item boosts
the power of Flying type moves by
10%. You can also get a Good Rod if
you visit the house next to the
PokeMart (Try fishing by the port),
and a man in the northeast end of
town will trade a Voltorb for your
Krabby. But to advance with the
story, head into the tall structure in
the southeast end of town.
The path to the top is very easy, but
you'll be met with many trainers
along the way. The black pits you
see will drop you to the level below.
You'll get to a level where there will
be two black pits - head right and
walk right around the lighthouse
past a sailor and climb the stairs
there. You'll be able to get TM34 -
Swagger and a Rare Candy on this
level. Head down back to where your
path split and head left and down
the pit. You should land in a little
room with a sailor and an ether.
Continue up the stairs, grabbing a
Great Ball along the way, and you'll
eventually reach a room where
Jasmine is nursing a sick Ampharos.
When you talk to her, she'll ask you
to go to Cianwood City to get some
medicine. Before leaving the
lighthouse, grab the Super Potion to
the left of the room.

[★★Pokemon fan★★]

Cianwood City
-------------------

On arriving at Cianwood City, check
out some of the houses - you can
get a picture taken of your Pokemon
which can then be printed out using
the Gameboy Printer Peripheral; a
boy will give you a Shuckle on loan
(But you don't really have to return
it) and finally in the southern-most
house, you can get a SecretPotion
for Amphy back in Olivine City. But
your quest isn't done yet - head to
the Gym of Chuck, the fighting
Pokemon master.

Cianwood City Gym
Make sure you bring along someone
that knows HM04 - Strength. The
puzzle is quite esay, but if you're
stuck, push the left and right
boulders up one space, then shift
the center boulder to the left (or
right) out of the way.

Surf
Dynamicpunch

This should be an easy battle. Any
Flying, Ghost or Psychic types will
breeze through the battle. For
Poliwrath, you can use a Grass or
Electric type to take advantage of its
Water-half. The only major threat is
Poliwrath's Hypnosis, and confusion
caused by DynamicPunch, but it hits
only 50% of the time anyway.
Chuck will reward you with the
Storm Badge when you defeat him,
which makes all Pokemon under level
70 obey you, and allows your
Pokemon to use HM02 - Fly outside
of battle. You'll also get TM01 -
DynamicPunch, which is a hard
hitting Fighting move that always
causes confusion, but is 50%
accurate.
---------------------------------
Treasure Hunting
----------------------------------

Once the battle is over, talk to the
lady walking outside the Cianwood
Gym, who is in fact Chuck's wife.
She'll reward you with HM02 - Fly, so
you can teach it to one of your
Pokemon and be taken to any town
or city you've visited previously. This
makes treasure hunting a lot easier,
as you can quickly return to earlier
towns and get to new places with
your new HMs. These quests can be
taken at any time. Check out the
guides for Ruins of Alph, Union Cave
and Mt Mortar . You can also grab a

few good items -

- New Bark Town: By now, Togepi
should have hatched from the egg
you got from Violet City. Return to
Prof Elm with the news and he'll give
you an Everstone.

- Cherrygrove City: Surf across the
water at the southwest end of town
and talk to the fisherman to get a
Mystic Water which powers up
Water-type moves by 10%.
- Violet City: Surf across the water
behind the Pokemon Academy to get
a Rare Candy, and also Surf behind
the Gym to get a PP Up.

- Azalea Town: In Slowpoke's Well,
use Strength on the boulder and
Surf over the water to get to the
ladder. In the next room, a man on
the left ledge will give you a King's
Rock, while the item on the right
ledge is TM18 - Rain Dance. Don't
forget that Kurt can make custom
Pokeballs for you!

- Route 34: Surf south on the water
opposite the Breeding Center. You'll
come across a secret area with three
trainers - talk to Kate, the bottom
one, to get a Soft Sand once you
beat her. Soft Sand powers up
Ground-type moves by 10%.
- Ecruteak City: At the Burned Tower,
use Rock Smash on the rock to the
right, then drop down the hole to
the north. Use Strength to get TM20
- Endure.

Of course, you can fly back to meet
the Once-A-Week Siblings to get
their items if you missed them. You
should have met them all apart from
Wesley and Santos.

Head back to the lighthouse and
give Jasmine the SecretPotion. She'll
thank you and return to the Gym.

Olivine City Gym
-----------------------

There aren't any trainers or puzzles,
so just head up to the platform and
challenge Jasmine.

Steelix

This too should be easy. Steel
Pokemon are weak to Fire, Fighting
and Ground attacks, but are immune
to Poison attacks. Use that Dig TM
you got earlier, or try out
DynamicPunch now (if you're feeling
lucky). Steelix is part Ground, so you
can hit it with Water attacks (Grass
and Ice attacks are resisted by
Steel).

Jasmine will reward you with the
Mineral Badge when you defeat her,
which raises your Pokemon's Defense
stat. You'll also get TM23 - Iron Tail,
which is a good Steel move that can
lower your opponent's defense.

Lake of Rage
------------------

Walk (or Fly) back to Ecruteak City
and head east, picking up an Ultra
Ball before you reach the water. You
can head into Mt Mortar, or you can
just Surf across the water. There's
some rather common Pokemon like
Machop and Zubat in Mt Mortar, but
you can get a few items like an
Ether and a Guard Spec. You'll need
someone with Flash so you can see
as well. The real secret to Mt Mortar
can be accessed once you have
HM07 - Waterfall. Check out the
Optional Area walkthrough for more
information.

Alternatively, if you take the
outdoors way, you can get a Super
Potion and if you have someone who
knows Cut, you can get three new
Apricorns for Kurt. In any case, keep
heading east and you'll reach
Mahogany Town. You'll notice the
east exit is blocked by a saleman
and the gym is blocked by some
random fat guy, so heal at the
Pokemon Center and head north
through the gatehouse.

From here, you can take the west
path through the grass, or you can
pay $1000 to go through the
gatehouse. There's a Max Ether by
the toll gate, as well as a berry bush
across the water (You'll need Cut).

Eventually you should reach the
actual lake. Ensure that you have
some Pokeballs with you and head
across to the middle of the lake.
You'll notice a Pokemon floating
around there, so examine it and
you'll be attacked by a red
Gyarados! If you didn't already know,
there are some very rare Pokemon
that have different colours from
what they usually have, and they are
commonly called "Shinies" because
sparkly stars appears when you send
them into battle. You should try to
catch this Gyarados as the chances
of finding another one like it are
very low.

Regardless of whether you faint or
catch it, you'll receive a Red Scale.
Head back to land and talk to the
person that has appeared by the
sign - this is Lance, the Pokemon
League Champion. Offer to help, and
he'll teleport back to Mahogany
Town. Before you follow him, there's
some treasure hunting to do. You
can now return at anytime to the
Lake of Rage by using Fly.

From the Lake, head south, but stick
to the west. You'll see a fisher
standing on a land bridge between
two patches of water, so follow this
path north. You'll need someone
with Cut here. Don't forget to use
the Itemfinder around here, because
there's lots of hidden items. They're
mostly found in long narrow
passages that lead to a dead end.
Some items you can get are a Rare
Candy, Full Restore, Max Ether, TM43
- Detect and inside the house, TM10
- Hidden Power. If today is
Wednesday, Wesley should also be
around here to give you a Blackbelt,
which increases the power of
Fighting-type moves by 10%. Head
back to Mahogany Town.

[★★Pokemon fan★★]

Team Rocket's Headquarters
---------------------------------------

In Mahogany Town, head to the
Mart. Lance will open up a hidden
stairway into the depths of the
Rockets' Headquarters. In here,
walking past the Persian statues
triggers an alarm that causes Rocket
members to come in and attack.
There's also some traps on the far
west side where you'll be attacked
by a whole lot of Pokemon who know
Self-Destruct (You can catch them
too, by the way). If you decide to go
the longer, non-trap way, you can
pick up an X Accuracy, a Hyper
Potion and a Nugget. The stairs to
the next floor down are in the
bottom-left corner, where you'll also
find a teleport pad that will return
you to the beginning.


In the next room, Lance will heal
your Pokemon. Continue on, fighting
off the Rockets. The door needs the
boss's password, and the boss's
password is in the boss's room,
which needs two passwords to
unlock. So go on a hunt to find the
two Rockets who will grant you
access. On the next floor, the female
Rocket in the room immediately
above you will tell you one password
(Slowpoketail) once you beat her,
and also the Rocket in the bottom
left room when you beat him
(Raticate Tail). You can also grab a
Full Heal and Dire Hit in this room.
Search around the remainder of the
floor for an Ice Heal and a Protein,
then head down the stairs in the
top right corner.


Follow the path (You can grab TM46
- Thief by heading up some stairs)
and you'll eventually be stopped by
your rival, who will complain about
Lance. Blah. Head through the door
(You'll automatically enter the two
passwords) and defeat the Rocket
inside. Once you've beaten him, talk
to the Murkrow by the computer to
get the boss's password to the first
room (Hail Giovanni). So head all
the way back, and two Rockets will
show up. Lance will take care of one,
and you'll need to battle the other.
After the battle, Lance will blab on
about more things, and then he'll
tell you to faint (or catch them if
you want) the three Electrode on the
left-side of the generator. You'll stop
the weird signal, save the day, and
earn HM06 - Whirlpool.

Blizzard

This could be difficult if you're
unlucky. A good electric attack
should be able to defeat Dewgong
and Seel, and a water Pokemon that
knows Surf can resist Piloswine's Ice
attacks and deal double damage as
its Ground half is weak to water.
Alternatively, Steel, Rock, Fighting
and Fire attacks are super effective,
but Dewgong's Water half resists
Steel and Fire-type moves. Blizzard
and Ice Beam can cause freezing, so
you should have some Ice Heal or
Full Heal to counter, while Aurora
Beam and Icy Wind lower attack and
speed respectively. Don't bring in
any Ground, Flying, Dragon or Grass
Pokemon.

Pryce will reward you with the
Glacier Badge when you defeat him,
which raises your Pokemon's Special
Attack and Special Defense stats,
and allows you to use HM06 -
Whirlpool outside of battle. You'll
also get TM16 - Icy Wind, which is a
weak Ice move that lowers your
opponent's speed.

Team Rocket's Return
-----------------------------

On stepping outside, Prof Elm will
call and tell you that something is
wrong with the Radio Broadcasts.
Before heading to the Radio Tower in
Goldenrod City, head to the toll
booth north of town where the
Rockets charged you $1000 to get
through. The guard there will give
you TM36 - Sludge Bomb, and will
allow passage to the Lake of Rage for
free. If you return there, you'll see
that some trainers have appeared.
At this stage, you can head to
Blackthorn City through the Ice Path
east of Mahogany Town, but this will
be covered later. Head back to
Goldenrod City, where you'll see that
the Rockets are guarding the
passageways to many of the
buildings. Heal at the Pokemon
Center, and head to the Radio
Tower.

Team Rocket have taken over the
Radio Tower, and so you'll have to
fight your way to the very top where
the director's office is. Most of them
have Rattata and Poison Pokemon, so
it's not very hard. Feel free to return
to the Pokemon Center to heal at
any time. On the top floor, you'll
see the director is actually a Team
Rocket executive who you'll have to
fight. When you beat him, he'll give
you the Basement Key. Head to the
Underground via the north exit by
the Nickname Rater's house.
The long narrow passage leading to
the right leads to the Underground
Warehouse where the Director is
being held captive. As soon as you
enter the Underground however,
your rival will appear and challenge
you to a battle with a lv30 Golbat,
lv28 Magnemite, lv32 Sneasel, lv30
Haunter and a lv32 evolved starter.
After the battle, he'll run off, and
you're left to contend with a bunch
of doors, and three switches. Each
switch opens some doors and closes
others, so you'll have to find the
correct combination to get through.
The sequence is actually really easy,
but in order to get the items (Full
Heal and Smoke Ball), you'll have
experiment yourself. If you mess up,
simply exit the room and reenter to
try again. In order to proceed, flick
the switches in this order: Left,
Center, Right, and make your way to
the doors in the bottom right
corner.

Inside the warehouse, just follow the
path, grabbing a Max Ether along
the way. When you get to the stairs,
continue on to find the director and
TM35 - Sleep Talk. He'll give you a
Card Key, which will open the
shutters on the third floor of the
Radio Tower. Head up the
warehouse stairs and get the Amulet
Coin. Return later, and the position
of the boxes will have changed so
you can get the other items (an
Ultra Ball, a Burn Heal and an
Ether).

Heal once you're out, and head to
the Radio Tower where you can
examine the shutters to unlock
them. Work your way to the top
where Team Rocket is broadcasting
their radio signal. The Rocket
Executives are harder than usual,
but still easy if you have the type
advantage. Use Psychic, Water, Ice
and Electric-type moves to your
advantage. Once again, you've saved
the day and you'll get a Rainbow
Wing if you're playing Pokemon Gold,
or a Silver Wing if you're playing
Pokemon Silver. See the section on
Ho-oh and Lugia if you want to go
catch them now.

Meanwhile, you can get some items
as thanks for freeing the Radio
Tower. Talk to Mary one floor down
to get a Pink Bow, which increases
the power of Normal-type moves by
10%. You can also get TM11 - Sunny
Day from the girl walking around
near the shutters on the third floor.

--------------
Ice Parth
-------------
So with Team Rocket out of the way,
head east from Mahogany Town to
the Ice Path that will take you to
Blackthorn City. You'll notice that in
Mahogany Town, someone has
opened up shop in the house
leading to the Rocket's HQ, so check
it out of you want. On Route 44, you
can surf to the middle of the lake for
a Max Revive, a hidden Elixir, and
some wild Pokemon. There's an Ultra
Ball to the northeast, and nearby,
the entrance to the Ice Path. Make
sure you have someone with
Strength.

Drop down to the next level and
you'll see that the rocks have
conveniently formed a spiralling
route to the center ladder. Check
the four corners of the room too,
there's a Max Potion and a hidden
Carbos. The center platform has a
Full Heal. In the next room, you'll
see a place where you can use Rock
Smash, but you can just walk right
around to get the item ball, a
Nevermeltice, which powers up Ice-
type moves by 10%. Continuing on,
the next room has an easy sliding
puzzle that you should be able to
figure out yourself. The item ball
contains TM44 - Rest. In the next

The bottom path leads to an Iron,
while the top path leads to the exit.
Grab a PP Up in the next room
before heading outside.

Blackthorn City
--------------------

If today is Saturday, you'll find
Santos near the gym, and he'll give
you a Spell Tag, which powers up
Ghost-type moves by 10%. You can
also trade a Rhydon for your female
Dragonair. But perhaps the most
useful person in town is the Move
Deleter, who will force a Pokemon to
forget a move, even if it is an HM
Move. He can be found a little to
the south of the PokeMart. Behind
the gym is the Dragon's Den, and
you'll be coming here very soon.
Head to the Gym first, and bring
along someone who knows Strength.
----------------------------
Blackthorn City Gym
----------------------------

Clair, the gym leader, specialises in
Dragon Pokemon, meaning your visit
through Ice Path should have netted
you some good Ice types. The gym
puzzle involves pushing a few rocks
down some holes to make a bridge
across the lava to the gym leader -
not an extremely difficult task.

This is going to be tough. While
Dragonair can paralyse with Thunder
Wave, Kingdra can too, with
Dragonbreath. Dragons have a lot of
resistances: Water, Fire, Grass and
Electric, but are weak to Ice attacks.
Utilise other types you have like
Fighting and Psychic to really deal
the damage, and use status ailments
to your advantage. Watch out for
Kingdra's Smokescreen that will
really annoy you, and keep your HP
high so that you won't be caught by
Hyper Beam.

Clair won't give you the Rising
Badge just yet. You'll be instructed
to go to the Dragon's Den to pick up
a Dragon Fang, so grab yourself a
Pokemon with Whirlpool and Surf,
and head to the cave behind the
gym.

Inside, surf close to the west, and
south until you reach a Whirlpool.
Examine it and choose to get rid of
it, and continue around until you
see an Item Ball. On picking it up,
Clair will award you the Rising
Badge, which makes all Pokemon
obey you, and allows you to use
HM07 - Waterfall outside of battle.
You'll also get TM24 - Dragonbreath,
a strong Dragon-type attack that can
cause paralysis.

[★★Pokemon fan★★]

Victory Road
------------------

Head straight for the double doors
at the end of the hallway and you'll
enter a cave... just like RBY, it's
Victory Road minus the switches. If
you look carefully, you can see some
similiarities in layout. On entering,
check the lone rock to the left for a
Full Heal, and head up the platform.
At the fork, going right takes you to
another Full Heal and a Max Revive.
Left takes you to the next level.
Follow the platform around and grab
the X Special before continuing east
then north to the ladder. In this
new level, you can follow the
platform right round and drop down
the ladder to get a Full Restore, or
you can head around and go all the
way west to find a hole in the floor.
Drop down to get TM26 - Earthquake
(and a hidden Max Potion). But
whatever the case, the exit is just to
the north, but be careful, your rival
will appear and challenge you to
another battle. He'll have rather
weak Pokemon, so the battle should
just be very routine. He has a lv34
Sneasel, a lv35 Kadabra, a lv36
Golbat, a lv35 Magneton, a lv35
Haunter and a lv38 fully evolved
starter. Head through the cave exit,
and through the double doors of the
Indigo Plateau.
-------------/------
Imdigo Plateau
--------------+----

It's time for the toughest battles at
the Indigo Plateau. You will face 5 of
the best trainers in the game one
after the other. While you have time
to save and use items, you won't be
able to go to a Pokemon Center.
Should you lose, you'll start from
the first trainer. Some handy tips to
avoid whitewash: Have your Pokemon
at bare minimum, level 50. Deposit
all your money with Mom so that you
won't lose any if you faint. Stock up
on Full Restores, Revives and Full
Heals. If you're having trouble, train
some more at Victory Road. Finally, if
you have to return to New Bark
Town, or any other town for that
matter, the guy on the left wall will
Teleport you back. Are you ready?
Head up the stairs at the far right.
To make it easy on yourself, you
should have a Dark type, a Psychic
type, an Ice type (Or a Water type
with Ice moves) and a Fighting type.
Round your team off with good
elemental moves like Surf,
Thunderbolt, Ice Beam and
Flamethrower.
