Cut through the grass and stay on the right path to get to Mr. Pokémon's house. Before you go in, grab the '''Psncureberry''' from the tree to the left of the house. With poisonous Weedle or Spinarak (at night, only in Pokémon Gold and Crystal) lurking about, you may need it. Be sure to pick up a '''Potion''' hidden in some flowers in front of the house.

| [[Image:Pokemon 060Poliwag.png|left]] Poliwag are very common in Crystal, appearing at night in several overworld routes.  Poliwag isn't too impressive by itself, but if you evolve it into a {{bp|Poliwhirl}} you can then use a Water Stone or trade it with a King's Rock to get a powerful {{bp|Poliwrath}} or {{bp|Politoed}}.  But don't evolve it too early: Each of those forms can learn two exclusive moves, but none of them are anywhere near as good as the Hydro Pump that Poliwag and Poliwhirl would learn if you didn't evolve them until much later.
| [[Image:Pokemon 010Caterpie.png|right]] This Bug Pokémon reaches its highest form, Bug/Flying {{bp|Butterfree}}, at level 10.  The speedy evolution is nice, and Butterfree is useful for a while after it learns Confusion at level 10.  Unfortunately, its awkward mix of types and lack of other good early moves makes it a poor long-term choice.

| [[Image:Pokemon 013Weedle.png|left]] Like Caterpie, Weedle evolves into its final form at level 10.  That Pokémon, {{bp|Beedril}}, actually gets a handful of strong moves: Fury Attack at level 10, and Twineedle, Pursuit, and Pin Missile later on.  Beedrill is hardly the game's best Bug Pokémon, but it will hold you over until you get a {{bp|Scyther}}.
| [[Image:Pokemon 167Spinarak.png|right]] Spinarak is a nocturnal Pokémon with a good variety of Posion, Normal, Bug, Ghost, and Psychic attacks.  One move exclusive to this Pokémon and its evolved form ({{bp|Ariados}} at level 22) is Spider Web, a useful technique that prevents a Pokémon from running away.

| [[Image:Pokemon 165Ledyba.png|right]] You'll have to wake up early to catch a Ledyba.  Bug/Flying type Ledyba and its evolved form {{bp|Ledian}} are primarily defensive Pokémon, learning moves like Reflect, Safeguard, and Light Screen.  They do learn a few early attacks like Comet Punch, but their Attack is too low to put them to good use.

The first time you visit this area (Route 30) on your way to Mr. Pokémon's house, a Pokémon battle will be blocking the road North and you won't be able to get through. The way will be clear after you finish your errand.

Route #30; you start at the bottom. Mr. Pokémon's house is at the top right.

Grab more free berries[edit]

The guy in the southern house can tell you about Berry trees and the healing properties of Berries. He'll even give you a Berry for the road. Your Pokémon can hold Berries to heal themselves! You can get another Berry from the tree outside, and there's an Antidote just to the north (Crystal only).

Cut through the grass and stay on the right path to get to Mr. Pokémon's house. Before you go in, grab the Psncureberry from the tree to the left of the house. With poisonous Weedle or Spinarak (at night, only in Pokémon Gold and Crystal) lurking about, you may need it. Be sure to pick up a Potion hidden in some flowers in front of the house.

Mr. Pokémon's house[edit]

Mr. Pokémon gives you a mysterious egg.

The old man you've been sent to visit has a houseguest: Good ol' Professor Oak! He'll give you a PokéDex, a sort of digital encyclopedia with entries for every Pokémon — as soon as you fill them in by catching them. After this, Mr. Pokémon will give you what Professor Elm sent you for: the Mystery Egg. As soon as you leave, Professor Elm will give you a call on your PokéGear and summon you back to New Bark Town on the double.

Come back for the EXP Share[edit]

When you get the Red Scale at the Lake of Rage, come back to Mr. Pokémon's house to trade it for an EXP Share. This item gives the Pokémon that holds it a part of the EXP earned in each fight, even if it doesn't join in combat!
