When you first arrive, you won't be able to do much here. The house with the sign next to it is the mart but sells useless items as well as a few potions and PokéBalls. You'll find you path to the right blocked by someone wanting you to buy Rage Candy bars, and the Gym blocked by another person who wants you to go to the Lake of Rage. To progress any further, you will need go north through Route 43 to the Lake of Rage. Before you do, however, you might want to fly somewhere you can get some Great Balls from, as you have a battle with a very very rare Pokémon ahead.

Considering the town is overrun by Rockets, you won't be getting anything free... the most unique item you can get would be is a Rage Candy bar, which is as strong as a potion, and costs as much as it ('''[[Image:Pokébuck.png]]300'''). However, any items that you can buy that are really useful can only be obtained after you drive out the rockets, and that still will be a while...

You will run into a number of oddities and road blocks when you first wander into Mahogany Town. You won't be able to enter the Gym or Route 44. The Pokémon Mart is selling really strange items, and there's a rumor that a red Gyrados has appeared at the Lake of Rage.

What's going on here?[edit | edit source]

Something's wrong in Mahogany, and it shouldn't take three guesses to figure out who's to blame. Team Rocket has the Gym blocked, and the path to Route 44 shut down. The guy who blocks your way will offer to sell you a Ragecandybar for 300. Ragecandybars heal 20HP, just like a standard Potion, except that it may also improve your Pokémon's happiness as well.

No matter how many you buy, the guy won't let you pass. He won't leave until you defeat Mahogany Town's Gym Leader and solve the Goldenrod Radio Station dilemma. That leaves you no choice but to head north to Route 43 and the Lake of Rage.

A very unusual item shop[edit | edit source]

Instead of the usual staples, the item shop in town sells odd items like Tinymushrooms and Slowpoketails. Both of these items have no real use (they can be resold for the same price), and the shop will revert to a normal store when all of this Team Rocket madness has been cleared up.

Gym Battle 7: PRYCE[edit | edit source]

This gym is unavailable to you until after you've visited the Lake of Rage, and returned with Lance to clear out the Team Rocket Hideout and run them out of town.

The Ice Labryinth... Mahogany Gym.
Trainers
Boarder Brad: 1872
Boarder Douglas: 1728
Boarder Ronald: 1728
  • Seel (lvl. 24, 513 EXP),
  • Dewgong (lvl. 25, 942 EXP),
  • Seel (lvl. 24, 513 EXP)
Skier Clarissa: 2016
Skier Roxanne: 2016
  • Jynx (lvl. 28, 822 EXP)
Leader
Leader Pryce: 3100

You'll go sliding all the way to the opposite wall when you set foot on a block of ice, so even getting to the master of this gym can be tricky. In order to get to Pryce, or any of the Junior Trainers, you will have to skate your way through a labyrinth. Once you walk on to the floor, there are only two ways to stop; land on one of the metal tiles, or run into a wall.

Of course there are ways to avoid fighting all trainers, but since ice is an element you haven't really battled against, it's a good idea to fight them anyways. The battles provide a lot of money and good experience points. Just remember to save often.

Ice is a pretty easy Type to deal with, but some of their secondary types can make things tricky. Fire and Fighting are still good, but with so many Water-types, Ice's vulnerability to Rock is hard to exploit. Electric Pokémon are a better pick, although Fire-types benefit from their ability to immediately unfreeze when frozen. If you did not start off with Cyndaquil, hopefully you've picked up a Growlithe on Routes 36 or 37. If you don't have a full fledged army of Fire- or Electric-types, a few good Grass-types are helpful as well.

After defeating Pryce he will give you Glacier Badge (which permits you to use the power of HM 06, Whirlpool) and TM 16 (Icy Wind). Icy Wind inflicts damage and then lowers the target's Speed stat by one stage. It will hit both opposing Pokémon in a double battle.

Aftermath[edit | edit source]

Only one badge remains, but it will have to wait; Professor Elm has received word of an emergency at the Goldenrod City Radio Tower, and that's going to have to be your first priority. When that's finally settled, you'll head to secluded Blackthorn City in Johto's far East to fight for the Rising Badge.
