Events

Enter Route 202 and into the first grass you see. Professor Rowan’s assistant (Lucas if you’re playing a girl, Dawn if you’re playing a boy), will call you over and show you how to catch Pokémon. It’s helpful to lower the foe’s HP into the yellow or red before throwing the ball. The assistant will then bestow upon you 5 Pokéballs.

Wild Pokémon

Pokémon found in the tall grass:

All are recommended for capture at this point in time for a large amount of type coverage. Training them early in the game is also essential, so start immediately.

New Pokémon

#15 Kricketot	#17 Shinx
File:PD&P Koroboshi.png Kricketot is a new Bug type Pokémon, found mostly at night and in the morning. They are useful for their type coverage early on in the game, but will not be as useful later. Pick one up to complete your Pokédex.	File:PD&P Korinku.png Shinx is an intersting little guy, being a Electric type, and showing up so early in the game. Shinx will be useful throughout the game, able to take out Flying and Water typed with ease, and can become very formidable fighters. Pick one up for type coverage.
