The best item to get here is '''TM19''' on Route 25. There's a tree blocking it again but there is a way in getting it earlier. You'll need to be crafty to get it: be at least three squares below the Jr. Trainer (#7 on the map) who's blocking it when you cross his line of vision, and he'll abandon his post to come fight you. Immediately after, loop behind him and grab it. If you weren't able to succeed, you can always come back later to the spot to have a Pokémon cut down a tree blocking the area. TM19 holds '''Seismic Toss''', a Fighting-type move that does damage equal to the level of the Pokémon using it to an enemy regardless of their type or Defense. It can also hit Ghost-type Pokémon, which are usually unaffected by Fighting-type attacks.

You'll find an '''Ether''' if you look one space East of the Lass (#9 on the map.)

You'll also find an '''Elixir''' if you examine the wall in the space above the first hiker (walk 2 squares east and 2 squares north of trainer #1 on the map).

{{bp|Abra}} is notorious for being quite difficult to catch. The only move they know is Teleport, which removes them from battle instantly. So if you're lucky enough to see one in the wild, you've got one turn to snag it. You have a few options: If you found the hidden Great Ball when you exited Mt Moon you can throw it straight away and it should catch the Abra first go. Another option is to have a {{bp|Jigglypuff}} or {{bp|Clefairy}} Sing it to sleep if they are faster that it, or use Sleep Powder if you have {{bp|Butterfree}}, which makes it easier to catch and also gives you an opportunity to knock it around a bit while it's dozing. The next is to use Wrap to squeeze it until it's weak enough to catch, while keeping it from Teleporting away. The last option is to use {{bp|Pikachu}}'s Thunder Wave to paralyze it and capture it right away with a Pokéball (though this option isn't very reliable, as Abra would still have a chance to use Teleport right away).

Also, if you are lucky enough to have an Ekans, you can Wrap Abra before he teleports. It will disable his teleport ability and only deal 1-2 damage. You can also interrupt Wrap by either switching Pokémon or throwing a Pokéball. Since Wrap deals very little damage and Ekans can become faster than Abra, I recommend catching an Ekans if possible and using Wrap to hold Abra in place. Once his health is low enough, he will be a steal.

But are they worth it? Definitely, since Psychic Pokémon are the best in the game, and Abra evolves into the best one you can get (before the game ends, that is.) With a very high special and a great speed despite its pathetic Health and defense stat, Abra and its two evolutions are one of the most ferocious special sweepers in the game (more like a glass cannon). At level 16, Abra will turn into a {{bp|Kadabra}}, which you can (and should) immediately trade to a friend to evolve it into a powerful {{bp|Alakazam}}. Even if you don't, however, the Confusion attack Kadabra learns, combined with the Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB) it gets, grants even a level 16 Kadabra the ability to knock out almost any Pokémon of comparable level in one hit, even without type advantage. It will then progressively get more powerful Psychic-type attacks in the game such as Psybeam and Psychic, both which will allow Kadabra/Alakazam to hit even harder.
