Cinnabar Island

Cinnabar Island

To the northwest is the Pokémon Mansion, a building left in ruins after a violent genetically-engineered Pokémon broke free of its prison and escaped. Fortunately, the Pokémon Lab to the south was spared, so the Fossil resurrection experiment is still operational. The Cinnabar Gym is locked up tight, so Blaine is out of reach without the Secret Key.

Item Location Games TM35 (Metronome) From a Scientist in the Pokémon Lab's R-and-D Room  Y

Pokémon Lab

Meeting Room

In the Meeting Room, two of the three people are looking to trade. The old man will trade his Rhydon for a Golduck, and the woman offers her Dewgong for a Growlithe.

R-and-D Room

In the Research and Development Room, the Scientist in the back will give you TM35 (Metronome), an attack that executes any known move.

Testing Room

In the Testing Room, one of the Scientists is willing to trade his Muk for a Kangaskhan.

The Scientist in the back is the one to see about reviving Fossils. Give him the Helix Fossil to get an Omanyte, or the Dome Fossil to receive a Kabuto; both are Rock/Water Pokémon that lived in the primordial ocean. Turning over the Old Amber results in the Rock/Flying Aerodactyl, king of the prehistoric skies.

Pokémon Mansion

The key to the Gym is lying around somewhere in the decrepit building. Also in the mansion are a handful of journal entries that describe the secret experiment that was conducted on the island. One of the obstacles between you and the Secret Key are the Pokémon statues scattered around. Each one has a hidden switch inside, which opens some doors and closes others when pressed. A handful of Burglars also prowl the wreckage for abandoned items, so be on guard.

Cinnabar Gym

Cinnabar Gym

CINNABAR ISLAND
POKéMON GYM
LEADER: BLAINE
The Hot-Headed
Quiz Master!

The Cinnabar Gym specializes in Fire-type Pokémon, so Water-, Ground-, and Rock-type moves will deal the most damage. Avoid bringing Bug-, Grass-, and Ice-type Pokémon—unless those Ice types are also part-Water. Play with fire and you are bound to get burned, so be prepared with a few Burn Heals just in case. Blaine enjoys riddles and puzzles, and uses this to test his challengers. Answering each question correctly unlocks the next door, allowing you to bypass each Gym Trainer.

There are 9 certified Pokémon League Badges?	No
