The Mineral Badge

Once you beat the GYM Leader head outside and get HM02 Fly from a lady at the door. Now you can fly to any place that you’ve been to! Since you also have surf you can fly to places you’ve been to with water here and there to surf small islands or and get items!

REMEMBER THESE ARE JUST SIDE QUESTS AND DON’T HAVE TO BE DONE!!!!!!!!!These places are:

Cerrygrove City
Mystic Water and a wall to climb with Rock Climb later.

Violet City
Rare Candy and PP Up. Also Rocksmash above Pokemon Center to find a Hyper Potion at the end

Ruins of Alph (Route 32/36)
The first thing you can do is surf at the south bank of water. There will be three buildings. Head right into the building at the bottom and then up to enter a ruin. At the back it will say “LIGHT.” Have a pokemon that knows Flash and use it. Inside you’ll find a Sitrus Berry, Heal Powder, Energy Root, and a Moonstone. Jump down and you’ll find another Message, “OUR CLAN CREATED POKEMON STATUE OUTSIDE.” Jump down the next hole to enter another hallway full of unown. Exit with the ladder in the same spot from the other hallways. If you chose to do the puzzle instead of going through the secret passages then you’ll have to make the puzzle of a Aerodactyl.

Next surf at the north west bank of water. At the top you’ll find a hyper potion. Or you could have used Rock Smash after going through a building right next to it. The other ruins are only accessible through the Union Cave. Read below

Union Cave (Route 32/33)

Route 35

Green Apricorn

Now head back to Olivine City to give the SecretPotion to Jasmine in the lighthouse. Take the elevator to make it quick. After that you’ll get to challenge her to a GYM battle! You should also get a call from Baoba telling you the Safari Zone is now open. Let’s head to the GYM first!

Olivine City GYM

The Olivine GYM uses Steel Types primarily. Steel Type moves are good against Ice and Rock Type Pokemon. Fire, Fighting, and Ground type moves are effective against steel types. Poison type moves can’t touch steel type pokemon. All other types but water and electric will do less damage against them.

GYM Leader Jasmine – P4200, TM23 Iron Tail, and the Mineral Badge which makes all pokemon up to level 70 obey you.

Magnemite Lv30

-Sonicboom (Normal/Special)
EXP:571

The Magnemites can be tough if you don’t have a ground type pokemon or move. The Ground type move will do 4x damage against them. But the Magnemite are strong and fast so be careful. Their ability keeps steel pokemon from leaving the battle. They’re also weak to fire!

Steelix w/Sitrus Berry (Female) Lv35
Type:Steel/Ground
Ability:Sturdy
Attacks:
-Iron Tail (Steel/Physical)
-Rock Throw (Rock/Physical)

-Sandstorm (Ground/Other)
EXP:1470

Steelix can be real tough. The sandstorm attack will hurt all non ground/steel/rock types each turn. Iron Tail and Rock Throw can be very strong moves since he’s at a high level with high attack and defense. Use fire, water, fighting or ground moves against it’s steel/ground type combo. When it’s HP gets low it has a Sitrus berry and Jasmine may use a Hyper Potion.

After the battle head back to Cianwood to check out the Safari Zone!

Route 47 and 48

Safari Zone

Enter the gate and you’ll see a lady on the left with a Butterfree. She will sell you:
Air Mail – P50
Nest Ball – P1000
Dusk Ball – P1000
Quick Ball – P1000

The Man on the left will sell Pokemon Drinks:
Protein – P9800
Iron – P9800
Calcium – P9800
Zinc – P9800
Carbos – P9800
HP Up – P9800

There is also a pokemon center around there. Heal up and head through the next gate up North.

For P500 you’ll get 30 safari balls to play in the safari zone. When you use all the balls you have then your game ends and you go back to the start. Either use all your balls or head back to the entrance yourself and ask to end the game. To catch pokemon you can only use the balls, bait, and mud. Mud makes pokemon easier to catch but may make them flee. Bait makes the pokemon harder to catch but makes them stay longer. The obtainable pokemon in the safari zone depends on the area you’re in.

When you first go in the old man Baoba will ask if you want to take a test. All you have to do is catch a geodude in the safari zone. Once you have one in your party show it to Baoba and he’ll say there’s a second part to the test but you may have to wait till later. Three hours later he will call you and ask you to catch a Sandshrew with the area customization. You’ll have to add a desert section to find the Sandshrew. You can now switch around the different areas of the Safari Zone. Each area has certain pokemon that show up in that area. For a list of all pokemon that come out on all areas during the different times etc you can click the following link:

Safari Zone Obtainable Pokemon

You’ll eventually be able to place items or blocks in the safari zone that allow even more pokemon to be obtainable!
