Tips
  • You will need the HM03: Surf and the HM04: Dive to fully navigate the Abandoned Ship.
  • If you forget which tiles flashed to reveal keys, simply leave and re-enter the room.
  • TM18: Rain Dance powers up Water-type attacks for 5 turns, weakens Fire-type attacks for 5 turns, makes Thunder's accuracy 100%, and reduces Solarbeam's power.
  • TM13: Ice Beam has a power of 95 and a 10% chance of freezing the opponent.
  • The Deepseatooth and Deepseascale are version-exclusive evolution items for Clamperl and can only be obtained once. You will need to trade with a friend to get both.
