Pokémon Gold and Silver/Route 33

'Route #33 is extremely short, but there is one Trainer along the way who will want to battle. When you beat the Trainer, he will offer to give you his phone number. Take it to see what he has to tell you later on. Check the tree for a Poisoncure Berry—it will come in handy.'



Trade numbers with the Dark Cave swarm watcher
There's only one thing to do in this area: Beat Anthony and trade numbers so he can call you when the in the Dark Cave are swarming. If you need to heal first, the town'e right ahead.

If you have time to kill, this area's thin strip of grass is the first opportunity to catch a. (Although Crystal players can catch one early by visiting Route 46). You'll have plenty of other chances.
