- 2Utilize your Surf ability to explore new areas and find hidden items.
- 3Violet City: Northwest of the Gym and southeast of Sprout Tower, surf in the small channel to find a PP Up and a Rare Candy.
- 4Union Cave: Proceed to the next floor below where the Swift TM was found. Surf on the water near the ladder. To the east and north are trainers. The exit west leads to a secluded part of the Ruins of Alph with a trainer, grass, and a puzzle. In the southwestern corner of 1F, surf across a pond, descend via the ladder. Defeat the nearby trainer, then surf east to another trainer and a ladder. On the next floor, surf east along the rock wall to find an Elixir. Continue west and south to a four-way water intersection. The southern path has a trainer and a Hyper Potion. The western path leads upstairs to another trainer. South from where you landed, find another trainer and water. On Fridays, you can find a Lapras in this water.
