[[File:Goldenrod City GS.png|thumb|right|Goldenrod City]]

Welcome to {{ci|Goldenrod}}, the largest metropolis in Johto and sister city to {{ci|Saffron}} in Kanto. This sprawling city boasts several major attractions, including a Pokémon Gym, Bike Shop, Game Corner, Radio Tower, and Department Store. There is so much to do in the big city that it's easy to forget about a single shady character.  But with a [[Team Rocket]] grunt keeping tabs on the Radio Tower, expect to save the city sooner or later.  But first thing's first, let's see the sights!

The [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] has moved to the city's southeast neighborhood from [[Cerulean City]] in Kanto, but demand has not been very strong. Since you're traveling so much, the owner asks to loan you a [[Bicycle]] in the hopes that the advertising will increase interest, and business will pick up. Riding your new bike is faster than traveling on foot, and he gains new customers - everybody's happy!

Unlike {{ci|Celadon}}'s [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]], this one has no secret entrance to an underground [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] base. Unfortunately, the games are off-limits without a [[Coin Case]], so Trainers who want to try their luck will have to find one first. Leave the Game Corner for the southwest, and enter the building marked "Underground Entrance".

[[Bill]], the inventor of the Pokémon PC Storage system, lives on the city's western coast with his mother and sister. He is currently away on business in [[Ecruteak City]], but since you are using his system, his sister gives you his number. This is a useful way to check how many Pokémon are stored in the current box. After meeting him in Ecruteak, he returns home to {{ci|Goldenrod}}. Stop by his house afterwards and he will give you {{p|Eevee|a gift}}.

The [[Name Rater]] lives in the house to the west of the Goldenrod Gym. Like his counterpart in [[Lavender Town]], the [[Name Rater]] evaluates a Pokémon's nickname, and allows Trainers to think up new nicknames for them.

There are {{DL|Friendship|Evolutions|certain Pokémon}}, like {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, that can only be acquired when a Pokémon is happy with its Trainer.  The woman in the house near the Bike Shop will evaluate the friendship rating of the first Pokémon in your party. There are {{DL|Friendship|Generation II|many things}} that a Trainer can do in order to raise a Pokémon's friendship, like [[Haircut brothers|grooming]] it or using [[vitamins]] on it.

Next to the [[Johto Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] is the [[Magnet Train]] Station. Currently shut down, this bullet train normally [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between Johto's {{ci|Goldenrod}} and Kanto's {{ci|Saffron}} twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Aside from walking, the only other method (sailing on the [[S.S. Aqua]]) runs much less frequently, so this makes the [[Magnet Train]] the ideal method of transportation.

Located just east of the Pokémon Center, the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] is the largest shop in Johto.  The behemoth building consists of eight floors (counting the rooftop and basement), and has a wide array of items up for sale.

While there are no shops in the basement, you can take the elevator downstairs to find an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}, a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Burn Heal}}, and an [[Ether]] lying around.

==== 2nd floor ====

The Trainer's Market sells basic equipment and items that Trainers may find useful while on their journey.

On Sundays, there is a second shopkeeper working here, and she will give Trainers {{TM|27|Return}} if their lead Pokémon is [[Friendship|happy]], and {{TM|21|Frustration}} if it is unhappy.  Speaking with the little girl here unlocks the ''[[Mystery Gift]]'' option.  There is also a man who wants a {{p|Drowzee}}, and is willing to trade his {{p|Machop}} for it, which will have an advantage over Whitney's Gym.

 

[[TM02]] is only available after it is acquired in Ilex Forest. [[TM08]] is only available after it is acquired on Route 36.

Unlike in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, there is an additional floor to the building.  There is an occasional Rooftop Sale held here, about which Camper Todd on {{rt|34|Johto}} will call to inform you.  This sale offers a discounted selection of high-demand items.

With so many supplies at your disposal, you should have little trouble at the [[Goldenrod Gym]].

[[File:Goldenrod Gym GSC.png|thumb|right|Goldenrod Gym]]

The [[Goldenrod Gym]] is devoted to {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.  It's a good idea to trade for that {{p|Machop}} in the Department Store, as only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon get a power bonus when battling Normal types.  {{t|Ghost}}s like {{p|Gastly}} can't be hit by Normal moves, but need a non-Ghost-type attack to damage Normal-type Pokémon.  [[Whitney]]'s {{p|Miltank}} can be very difficult to defeat; in addition to having high Defense and Speed, it can use {{m|Milk Drink}} to restore its high HP.  As Miltank is female, its {{m|Attract}} move prevents male Pokémon from attacking 50% of the time. The best strategy is to use status ailments; either {{status|poison}} it and bide your time, or put it to {{status|sleep}} and chip away at it.

[[Whitney]] sobs uncontrollably when she loses, ignoring you altogether. Unable to receive the badge, you turn to leave when Lass Bridget steps in. She speaks to Whitney, and the Gym Leader finally gives up the {{badge|Plain}}, which gives a {{stat|Speed}} boost to your Pokémon, and enables the use of {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. She also gives you {{TM|45|Attract}} as a prize.

The two women inside the flower shop talk about an {{p|Sudowoodo|odd tree}} on {{rt|36|Johto}} that actually squirms around to avoid contact with water.  A third woman, Floria, has left to examine the tree.  Talk to the two women again after meeting Floria to get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|SquirtBottle}}.
