What Do You Do After Olivine City?
After defeating the Gym Leader in Olivine City, you have a few options to consider. Here are some key steps to take:
Leave Olivine City through the West
One of the first things you should do is leave Olivine City through the west. This will take you into Route 40, a small vertical route with a mix of land and water. As you journey through the route, you’ll encounter Monica, a member of the Weekday Siblings. Speaking with her will reward you with a Sharp Beak, which boosts the power of Flying-type attacks by 20%.
Head to Cianwood City
Next, head to Cianwood City, where you’ll find the Secret Potion. With this potion in hand, you can cure the Pokémon on top of the lighthouse, which is home to Ampharos. Be sure to heal your Pokémon and save your progress before attempting to reach the lighthouse.
Teach Your Pokémon the Fly Technique
After acquiring the Secret Potion, you can teach your Pokémon the Fly technique using HM02. This will allow you to return to Olivine City and access other areas of the map more easily.
Battle Jasmine
Before heading back to Olivine City, consider battling Jasmine, the Gym Leader, for the Mineral Badge. You’ll need to defeat her to earn this badge and continue your journey.
Important Moments
Here are a few key moments to keep in mind after leaving Olivine City:
• Cliff Cave: If you’re looking to catch Steelix, you’ll need to venture into Cliff Cave. This area has a low encounter rate (2%), so be prepared for a challenge.
• Mt. Silver: You can also find Steelix in Mt. Silver, although the encounter rate is slightly higher than in Cliff Cave.
Consider Evolving Your Eevee
If you have an Eevee in your party, consider evolving it into Quilava or Vaporeon. These evolutions can provide significant boosts to your Pokémon’s stats and abilities.
Conclusion
After leaving Olivine City, you have a range of options to consider. From battling Jasmine for the Mineral Badge to catching rare Pokémon in Cliff Cave or Mt. Silver, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Remember to heal your Pokémon regularly and save your progress to avoid setbacks. With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a Pokémon Master.
