The situation in Pokémon Tower is grave indeed, but with the Silph Scope, you should be able to dig up whatever is causing all the trouble. You don't have to do anything special with the scope, but just make sure you have it with you when you enter the tower. The Silph Scope automatically identifies ghosts and makes it possible to engage them in combat. | |||

{{sidebar|width=300px|title=Scoping out danger|contents=Without the Silph Scope, you can't identify the ghosts lurking in Pokémon Tower, and therefore you can't fight them. With the scope in hand, you can fight and try to capture these astral aggressors. Note that Normal and Fighting-type moves don't affect Ghost-type Pokémon at all, so use caution in battle. You'll have better luck catching a Gastly or a Haunter if you use Great Balls instead of regular Poké Balls. You can also find some Cubones here.}} | |||
With the '''Silph Scope''' in your hands, it's time to head back to Pokémon Tower and figure out what is going on. | |||
Before moving on, if you haven't already, you can get '''HM02''' ('''Fly''') by heading west to a path where a Snorlax blocks the way ([[../Route 16-18|Route 16]]). Cut the tree several steps before the Snorlax and enter through the building on the area inside. Once on the other side, enter the only house there and speak to the girl inside to receive '''HM02''' ('''Fly'''). | |||
Otherwise, the quickest path (if you did not capture a Pokémon that can '''Fly''' after using '''HM02''') is to go back to [[../Route 7-8|Route 7]], hand the guard a frosty beverage to end the baffling "Thirsty Guard" crisis, and then cut through [[../Saffron City/]] on your way East to [[../Lavender Town/]]. On your way through Saffron City, you might just want to stop in at the Poké Mart and grab a Super or Max Repel. The Repel is for the Tower, where you'll be assaulted by Gastly, and occasionally Haunter. | |||

Once you go up to 3F, you'll start fighting Ghost-type Pokémon which are completely invulnerable to Normal and Fighting moves, so many of your Pokémon's attacks will be useless here. Because of the only Ghost evolution line's secondary type, Poison, they are weak to Psychic and Ground-type moves. Anything that can use Dig, especially a speedy one like {{bp|Diglett}}, can pretty much get an instant K.O due to the Gastly and Haunter's poor defense stats. Pokémon like {{bp|Kadabra}} and {{bp|Drowzee}} are very powerful too. If you don't want to deal with lots of random encounters, just pop open the Max Repel... ''after'' you catch a {{bp|Gastly}} for yourself if you want. Many Channelers also lurk this tower, and they seem possessed. | Once you go up to 3F, you'll start fighting Ghost-type Pokémon which are completely invulnerable to Normal and Fighting moves, so many of your Pokémon's attacks will be useless here.

The leader of the Channelers has broken free of the dark power that held her, and created a reusable healing zone on the 5th floor. Make sure you heal and save while you have the opportunity, since there are a number of surprises ahead. Move one step forward and three steps down from the stairs to snag a hidden '''Elixir'''. Elixirs restore 10 PP for all moves for the Pokémon it is used on. | |||

The first surprise is at the stairway to the top floor, where the Ghost that you needed the Silph Scope for finally reveals itself as a level 30 {{bp|Marowak}}. Make sure you have some strong Pokémon for this fight! It should be a pretty easy battle if you have Water, Grass, or Ice attacks. You cannot catch this Pokémon, as it will dodge any Poké Ball you throw its way, even a Master Ball! There is also a glitch where you can use a Poké Doll on the Ghost so you won't have to use the Silph Scope to fight it at all, allowing you to completely skip the [[../Rocket Hideout/]] if you want. | |||

More non-Gastly foes await on the top floor and they're from Team Rocket. Red and Blue players have to go through three Rocket guards, while Yellow players just have to deal with a single visit from Jessie and James, the pair of losers that's been trailing you all along. | |||
Didn't you just pummel these guys at the Game Corner? No sooner have you defeated the ghost guarding the 7th floor in the Yellow version than Jesse and James show up again, trying to keep you from talking to Mr. Fuji. Their Ekans and Koffing have evolved into Arbok and Weezing, but you should still win the battle easily if you have a Psychic or Ground-type Pokémon. They'll run away, but don't think for a second that you've seen the last of these two troublemakers! | |||
