Route 31

Route 31

Route 31 is a small route that connects Route 30 to the south and Violet City to the west. The western entrance to Dark Cave is located here, but the area cannot be fully explored just yet. There is only one trainer, but speak to him after battling to receive phone calls when Bug Catcher Wade finds an item he thinks you'd like.

Time for a Trade

The kid in the house near the Pokémon Center is looking for a Bellsprout. If you have one to spare, it's a good idea to trade it to him. Rocky, the Onix you get in return, can make the Gym battle here much easier.

Earl's Pokémon Academy

The Academy is where young prospective Trainers learn how to raise Pokémon. On the blackboard are descriptions of the several status problems that can affect a Pokémon.

Ailment		Effect(s)
BRN	Burn	Attack drops to 50%; inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every turn
FRZ	Freeze	Cannot move until thawed (20% chance of recovery per turn)
PAR	Paralysis	Speed drops to 25%; cannot attack 1/4 of the time
PSN	Poison	Inflicts damage equal to 1/8 of maximum HP every turn; loses 1 HP for every four steps taken outside of battle
SLP	Sleep	Cannot move for one to seven turns

Sprout Tower

The Sprout Tower is a towering pagoda run by Buddhist monks. Since these monks also train Pokémon, this is a good opportunity to train before challenging the Violet Gym. Rattata roam the tower during daylight hours, and Gastly can be found at night. After battling past the others, you find your rival having just defeated the head monk. He talks to you briefly before using an Escape Rope. After defeating the elder monk, Sage Li, he rewards you with HM05 (Flash).

Violet Gym

Violet Gym

VIOLET CITY
POKéMON GYM
LEADER: FALKNER
The Elegant Master
of Flying Pokémon

The Violet Gym specializes in Flying-type Pokémon. Clip their wings with Electric attacks, or knock them out of the sky with Rock moves. Grass and Bug Pokémon, beware; Gust is now classified as a Flying-type attack, inflicting double the normal damage. The Onix you just received will be helpful, but watch out for Mud-Slap, a Ground-type move.

Violet Gym Trainers Trainer Pokémon Bird Keeper Abe Reward: $216 Spearow♂ Lv.9 No item Bird Keeper Rod Reward: $168 Pidgey♂ Lv.7 No item Pidgey♂ Lv.7 No item Leader Falkner Violet Gym Gold, Silver, and Crystal Reward: $900 Types: Normal Flying Held item: None Pidgey♂ Lv.7 Tackle Normal   --       Mud-Slap Ground   --       Struggle Normal   --       Struggle Normal   --       Types: Normal Flying Held item: None Pidgeotto♂ Lv.9 Tackle Normal   --       Mud-Slap Ground   --       Gust Flying   --       Struggle Normal   --

Defeated, Falkner awards you the Zephyr Badge, which gives your team a slight Attack increase and allows the use of Flash in the field. He also gives you TM31 (Mud-Slap), a move that inflicts damage while lowering accuracy.

Elm and the Egg

Professor Elm calls when you step outside, asking that you visit his assistant in the Pokémon Center. The assistant delivers the Mystery Egg to you, as it must be near an active team of Pokémon to grow and hatch. Call the professor when it finally hatches, and he asks to see it; after inspecting the newly-hatched Pokémon, he gives you an Everstone as thanks.

With the Violet Gym defeated, head south to Route 32.
