Violet City is the first city you'll visit that has a Gym in it. You don't want to rely on just one Pokémon for a Gym Leader battle, so you'd better catch and raise some wild Pokémon to fill our your party. You won't be able to reach the items above the city until you have Surf.

Trade your Bellsprout for an Onix

You can catch an Onix later, but you'll never get as much use out of one as you will now versus Falkner and his Junior Trainers. As a traded Pokémon, your Onix will go up levels more quickly than a wild one, but you're stuck with the goofy name. Like all trades with computer characters, its starting level will be the same as that of the Pokémon you traded for it.

Back to Pokémon School

If you talk to the man standing between the Gym and the Mart, and answer "No" to the question he asks you, he will lead you down to his Pokémon Academy to study up on Pokémon types and conditions. In this schoolhouse, he teaches his students some basic Pokémon battling and raising lessons. You can also learn a lot from the writing on the blackboard and the other students. Study hard!

Poké Mart

There are a lot of new items for sale, but nothing you really need (X Items are rarely worth it). The last item is mail for writing short messages.

Sprout Tower

If your Pokémon are too weak for the Gym, build up some EXP at the Sprout Tower first. Sprout Tower is a good place to train your Pokémon and yourself. If your Pokémon are over Level 10, the battles against the Grass-types won't be very difficult. If your Pokémon aren't at Level 10, it might be a little harder—unless you started with Cyndaquil.

Trainer Battle 1: FALKNER

Falkner's Gym

Leader Falkner: File:Pokébuck.png900

It's your first Gym battle, so be careful. There are two Gym Members and one Gym Leader for you to fight, but you don't have to fight them without a break. If your Pokémon get too weak, take them to the Pokémon Center and heal them between battles, so they're able to continue.

Since there hasn't been a chance to get any Electric Pokémon yet, your best bet here is Rock, by far. It has protection from both Flying and Normal attacks, and if you have Rock Throw (Geodude gets it at level 11), it'll wipe out any of Falkner's Flyers.

But you still need to look out for Pidgeotto's Mud-Slap; it does damage and lowers Accuracy, and the penalties add up quickly. Swap in a strong Pokémon that can finish this Flyer quickly, but watch out for its Gust.

When you beat Falkner, he will award you the Zephyr Badge and TM 31, Mud-Slap. Remember, you can use a TM only once.

An urgent call from Professor Elm

After you beat the Violet City Gym Leader, you'll get a surprise phone call from Professor Elm. He'll direct you to speak with his aide at the Violet City Pokémon Center, who will give you the Mystery Egg that you delivered to Elm earlier. It needs to be near active Pokémon to hatch. Keep this egg in your party as you continue your quest, and after an hour or so of traveling, it will hatch. That miraculous event is covered on Route #34.

#95 Onix
Onix learns most of its good moves at lower levels than it did in Red/Blue/Yellow, and it can now learn SandStorm, a move that deals damage to non-Rock Pokémon every turn. But the real excitement is that it can now evolve into a new Pokémon, Steelix. This evolution raises most of Onix's stats (except Speed) to competitive levels.

Items

  • PP UP (Surf on lake behind Gym)
  • Rare Candy (Surf on lake behind Pokémon School)
