Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 16



'Also known as "Cycling Road," Routes 16, 17, and 18 are a favorite hangout for bicyclists and motorcyclists alike. It just so happens that many of these two-wheeling enthusiasts are Pokémon trainers as well, and you must fight your way down the long slope to Fuchsia City.'

Before you head past the gate guard, use the cut move on the tree blocking the northern part of Route 16. Here is your first chance to catch a wild. It's also where a secret house is, importantly containing HM02. This groundbreaking move (in terms of game progress) lets you fly directly to Pokémon Centers that you've visited before. In battle, it's a two-turn Flying-type move that is similar to Dig. If you want Doduo on your team, teaching it Fly isn't the worst choice. The game conveniently places Fly-able wild Pokémon next to where you get Fly.

Items

 * HM02 (Fly) (Given to you by the girl in the northwest area's house)
 * Amulet Coin (Given to you by one of Professor Oak's aides at the gate for having owned at least 40 different species of Pokémon)
 * Leftovers (Hidden and "buried" on the spot where Snorlax stands, unearthed with the ItemFinder)

The Amulet Coin is an item to be held by a Pokémon that doubles battle earnings if the Pokémon participates in the battle. It is one of the requirements to be easily wealthy on the game. Leftovers is another important and popular item to be held by a Pokémon and that is geared toward advanced players, given the special way that it's hidden, requiring clearing out Snorlax. It recovers a Pokémon's health one bit at a time.
