Now that Team Rocket is reeling from its crushing defeat in Saffron City, you have a chance to resume your original quest: to become the greatest Pokémon trainer ever. Fuchsia City is the home of the Safari Zone, the home of some of the strangest and most powerful Pokemon in the game. Take some time to explore the city, and then... start hunting!
Team Rocket is still reeling from its crushing defeat in Saffron City, which gives you a chance to resume your original quest: to become the greatest Pokémon trainer ever. Fuchsia City has two main attractions, the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and Koga's Gym. In addition, this is the first place you can buy great items like '''Ultra Balls''' and '''Full Heals''' so pick some up when you can.
[[File:Pokemon FRLG Fuchsia Gym.png|thumb|400px|The Fuchsia City Gym]]
The Safari Zone may be the most popular tourist attraction in town, but the real trainers eventually make their way to the gym for a true test. The Fuchsia City Gym is the headquarters of Pokémon trainers who also follow ninja disciplines. Their training regimen focuses on techniques that poison and induce sleep, so be sure to have some Antidote and Awakening on hand.
==Pokémon found==
A lot of the Junior Trainers are packing Psychic Pokémon, so bring a Bug-type ({{bp|Scyther}} is good) or strong, speedy fighters to finish them quickly. The ninja master himself will send out two {{bp|Koffing}}, a {{bp|Muk}}, and a {{bp|Weezing}}.
Poison Pokémon are good here, since they can't be affected by Poison themselves. Ground is always strong against Poison, and Psychic is great.

===Leader Koga===

{{ContentBoxContainer}}
! style="background-color:#{{Pokemon color|Psychic light}};color:#ffffff;" | Name
Koga is protected by a maze of invisible walls and a troop of ninja-style trainers. The invisible walls in Koga's Gym are annoying, but their locations have been made more obvious for you in the map below. Koga is a snap compared to the difficulty in reaching him. Look at the floor tiles carefully. The boxes with white dots in the corners are the invisible walls.

If you defeat the poisonous lot of Koga's Pokémon, victory earns you the '''Soul Badge''' and '''TM 06''', containing Toxic, the one useful Poison skill. The Soul Badge boosts the Defense rating of all your Pokémon. The Soul Badge also gives Pokémon the ability to use HM 03, Surf, outside of battle.

Koga will also yield TM06 {{bpm|Toxic}}, a powerful Poison move that not only will inflict the poison status ailment, but that damage will also increase with every turn.
===Safari Zone===
====Items====
The Safari Zone is an amusement park for Pokémon trainers. You are given special Safari Balls and Pokémon bait and are allowed to captured as many rare Pokémon as you can within 600 paces.
* TM06 (Toxic) (Given to you by the gym leader Koga for defeating them)
==Points of interest==
===Move Deleter===
===Move Deleter===
In the house next to the Pokecenter you'll find an old man who calls himself the '''Move Deleter'''. This old man allows you to force a Pokémon to forget any move it knows. While you won't ever have a need to make your Pokémon forget normal moves, you can use his ability to make a Pokémon forget an HM it has been taught. Outside of exploiting a glitch in the Day Care System, this is the only way you can do this in the entire game.

To enter it, you'll need to walk through the entire Zoo (or use a Pokemon with {{bpm|Cut}}), but at least you'll see some cool Pokemon on the way, and one of the tourists is a Move Tutor that can teach your Pokemon {{bpm|Substitute}}!
===Safari Warden===
===Safari Warden===
In the bottom right corner are two houses, the left of which contains the Safari Zone Warden. The warden has lost his teeth, and no one can understand a word he's saying. His choppers are probably in the Safari Zone somewhere. Find them and return them to the warden and he'll reward you handsomely. He will give you HM 04, which you can use to teach a Pokémon the Strength ability to move large objects.

His chompers are probably in the Safari Zone somewhere. Find them and return them to the warden and he'll reward you handsomely with HM04 {{bpm|Strength}}, a normal type move that can let you move boulders out of the way. In combat, its a decent move with good power.
===Items===
* HM 04 {{bpm|Strength}} (Given to you by the Safari Zone's Warden after you return him his missing teeth)
* Rare Candy (Behind the rock in the Safari Zone's Warden's house)
===Fishing Guru===
===Fishing Guru===
Next door is the Fishing Guru's older brother, who runs a fish farm here in the city. Speak to him to get the '''Good Rod''', although it's pointless if you took [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 12-13|Route #12]] and already got the '''Super Rod''', which lets you fish for higher level Pokémon. You can drop a line in the pond behind the man's house in the bottom left corner, and see what turns up.

Although it may seem pointless if you already got the '''Super Rod''', which lets you fish for even more Pokémon, catching rates and types of Pokemon will vary between rods, so it is still worthwhile to get both.
You can drop a line in the pond behind the man's house in the bottom left corner, and see what turns up. It's a good chance to catch a {{bp|Poliwag}} or a {{bp|Goldeen}}.
===Items===
* Good Rod (Given to you by the Fishing Guru's brother)
* Max Revive (Hidden east of the southernmost flower in the backyard of the Fishing Guru's brother's home)
Now that you've gotten your hands on the '''Good Rod''', you can finally start fishing without expecting to get only more worthless Magikarp.
Quite unexpectedly, Goldeen has {{bpm|Waterfall}} in its moveset, an attack that you would usually need a HM for. Despite this, Goldeen, and its evolution {{bp|Seaking}}, only sport average stats, and mostly Normal moves.}}
Another new Pokemon now available through fishing with a '''Good Rod''', Poliwag may not seem like much, but can work well in your team as a Water Pokemon... and HM slave.
Once you evolve Poliwag into {{bp|Poliwhirl}} at Level 25, and use a Water Stone, you will obtain {{bp|Poliwrath}}, a Water/Fighting Pokemon. Poliwrath sports decent stats all around and is capable of learning {{bpm|Surf}} and {{bpm|Strength}}.}}
