Twinleaf Town
-------------
Watch the TV program, which is talking about a red Gyrados in hidings.
Afterwards, head down the staircase, and you will be met with by your mother,
whom shall have you be running after your Rival. Exit the house (with a warning
that will not apply for any longer than five minutes), then go to the
northwestern house in Twinleaf Town. Rival will pop out once you approach and
then head back inside. Follow after him, and go up the staircase in his house to
his room on the second floor. After the conversation is done, make your
leave and continue outside again, then head north and into the Route 201 Area.
---------
Route 201

Proceed north again and you shall encounter your Rival once again. After
he is done talking, he will tag up with you again. Now head west (Rival will
stop you from heading east for the moment), then go north and enter into the
forest/lake area.

Inside, you will automatically have an encounter with Professor Rowan
and either Lucas (if you are a girl) or Dawn (if you are a boy). The two shall
take their leave, giving you the opportunity to choose your own Pokémon. You had
better make it a good one, as a Starly will attack you at that moment. Below is
a brief profile of each of the starter Pokémon and their evolution chain.
____________________
|#001 Turtwig - Grass|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Turtwig is an effective all-around balanced Pokémon, knowing Withdraw
right from the start, and learns Absorb and Razor Leaf at Levels 9 and 13.
Coupled with the Overgrow ability, which allows it's Grass attacks to increase
in power by 1.5 when HP is low, makes an effective early fighter, and it evolves
into Grotle at Level 18 and Torterra at Level 32, the latter of which will
be Grass/Ground type, and will be effective in Gyms 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
____________________
|#004 Chimchar - Fire|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Chimchar focuses on attack, and can learn Leer, Taunt, Facade, and Calm
Mind as well as a variety of other physical and Fire attacks. The ability Blaze
allows his Fire attacks to deal 1.5x damage at low HP, but it's real claim to
fame is it's early evolution - evolving at Level 14 to Monferno (though it only
evolves to Infernape at Level 36). These latter two forms are also Fighting
type, much like the previous generation's Fire-starter's evolution chain, with
other attacks learnable like Feint, In Fight, and Punish. This makes him useful
in Gyms 1 (once evolved), 2, 5, 6, and 7. I HIGHLY recommend taking Chimchar
because, besides Ponyta/Rapidash, he is the ONLY Fire-type that you will be able
to obtain in the game until you have seen all 150 Sinnoh Pokémon, and Fire-types
are very much needed in the regular game of Diamond/Pearl.
___________________
|#007 Piplup - Water|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Piplup is basically the "advanced player's Pokémon" of the
Diamond/Pearl generation, with a very poor early attack range ranging from
Bubble to Bide - not exactly the greatest variety. However, once he evolves to
Prinplup at level 16, things look up a bit, with attacks such as Metal Claw and
Bubblebeam, and Empoleon (whom is evolved to at Level 36) has a second type of
Steel, and can learn good attacks such as Aqua Jet, Mist, and Drill Peck. Thus,
this Pokémon is generally not very useful in gyms, likely only being effective
in Gyms 1, 5, 6, and 7.
After you make your pick of Pokémon (and in traditional fashion, your
Rival will choose the Pokémon that yours is weak to), you will have to fend off
a Level 2 Starly. At this point in time, I believe that you will not need a
strategy considering the lopsided power of your own Pokémon, so just attack
until the Starly falls. Once done, Lucas/Dawn will come back to meet you and
take the suitcase back. Head back south and leave the forest.
---------
Route 201
---------
Head east from here, and you will encounter Professor Rowan and
Lucas/Dawn again. After you finish your small talk, you shall then be
automatically transported back to your house in Twinleaf Town.

Your mother will now send you off to Sandgem Town, and gives you the
Running Shoes to go with it. With these shoes, you can now press B to run, which
should aid you in making the long journey just a little less tedious with the
walking. Exit the house and leave the town north, and from now on, if you need
to heal up your Pokémon while around here, head over to your mom to get them
recovered.

For now, you will not be able to capture any wild Pokemon, owing to your
lack of Pokeballs to capture them with. In the future, you will have them, but
you can only fight Pokemon for EXP and EVs currently. You can heal up at your
mother's place back in Twinleaf Town by talking to your mother.
After entering Route 201, head east along the path that Rival blocked
you from moving earlier. Once you make it past the first section of grass,
continue along the dirt road a slight ways, then head north and east through
some more grass. Talk to the person standing in the grass here to get a free
complimentary Potion. Eventually, you should just be able to stroll from there
right into Sandgem Town.

Once you arrive in town, you will come face-to-face with Lucas/Dawn,
again. Rival will exit the nearby building and leave, and inside, Professor
Rowan will let you keep your own Pokémon as a gift. At this point, you can also
nickname it. He then asks you the perennial question: do you wish to journey
Shinnoh and help him in catologuing Pokémon? Accept, and he will give you the
Pokédex, and send you off. Lucas/Dawn will also receive the third Pokémon of the
initial trio, making a secondary rival for you.
Outside, Lucas/Dawn will take you around for a little more sightseeing,
showing off the PokéMart and Pokémon Center. Afterwards, s/he will head to the
northeast exit to Route 202 and block it off...for now. At this point, if you
wish to, you can also head to the PokéMart here to pick up some Poké Balls;
however, you will be getting some for free relatively shortly.
Items in PokéMarts operate slightly different in Diamond/Pearl than in
previous generations. All PokéMarts will have the same items, but you can only
buy some items after you get specific Gym Badges - hence, the four items listed
here are the only four you can buy at this point in the game.
Head down to the southeast corner of Sandgem Town and head south onto
the beach, with the proper designation of Route 219.

Continue north and then west through the grasses, and you will meet up
with Lucas/Dawn again. Lucas/Dawn will teach you the conventions of battling and
capturing a Pokémon, so if you are new to the series, pay attention. After some
words from him/her, s/he shall then give you five Poké Balls, and finally
leaves.
Now that we are on our merry way, it should be noted that this is an
appropriate time to catch some Pokémon for general battling, as if you only have
your Starter right now, things may get tough in the future. Picking up one of
each species in the area before you go on is a good idea, along with training
each of them to Level 4 or Level 5. Bidoof you will probably find to be useless
(but can still be utilized as a very useful HM whore), but Starly and Shinx each
will be relatively useful for those just wanting to make it through the game,
with no multiplayer; the former species will learn a number of Flying techniques
and can spam status moves, while the latter can learn Dark-type moves in
addition to Electric moves to destroy any Psychic-types you may encounter.
Kricketot is also useful, especially if you can get one holding Metronome. You
will certainly find better Pokemon later on, but the three mentioned here can be
fairly useful for some time.
After you are done, continue west and north through the grass, then try
to head east and you will meet up and battle your very first trainer - Youngster
Tristan.
_________________
|Youngster Tristan|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This battle is pretty easy to win, given that he has only a Level 5
Starly. Send out either your own Starly or a Shinx, as either of them can
counter the effects of his Growl with Growl and Leer, respectively. After the
battle of altrition is over and Tristan's Starly starts attacking, respond in
favor the next turn. The only other note here is the enemy Starly's Quick Attack
- if your own Pokémon does not have enough health to sustain another attack (and
it is not a Starly with Quick Attack and higher Speed stats), switch it out, as
Quick Attack always strikes first.
With the battle over, continue east along the dirt road. You will be
caught by the next trainer in line, Lass Natalie.
____________
|Lass Natalie|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Let's face it - if you have been doing any sort of training whatsoever,
Natalie's Pokémon lineup will be a basic joke, given the two Bidoofs' low
levels. As such, you should treat them as fodder to gain a bit of experience
points for once you reach Jubilife City. Just send out a Pokémon, and attack
attack attack until your opposition falls.
Once finished, continue north through the field of grass. Try to
continue west, and you will be forced to battle the last of the triad of
trainers in Route 202; Youngster Logan.
_______________
|Youngster Logan|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
By this point in time, your Pokémon should have gone up a few levels
from the previous battles and random encounters. As Logan's Shinx is only
Level 5, it does not yet know any Electrical techniques, so send out a Starly if
you want to. Otherwise, this should not be too difficult of a battle.
Now that you have defeated all the trainers in Route 202, head straight
west from your original position to the northwest position. Here, grab a Potion
from a Pokéball lying on the grass patch, then go back east just a bit and head
north. Right before the steps, head left to the tree and up into the far end
space next to the wall, and click A to find a hidden Paralyz Heal (you will not
be able to find hidden items on your own until you find the Itemfinder). After,
head up into Jubilife City.

Here, you shall meet up with Lucas/Dawn again. S/he will give you the
number of Pokémon that you have caught so far, then takes her leave after
informing you of your Rival's current location - at the Trainer School right
here in Jubilife City.
The best way to find your Rival is to use its relative location -
opposite the street from the Pokémon Center in town. Enter the building, and
inside, talk to Rival, whom is at the blackboard. You will lose the Parcel, but
in turn, shall obtain a Town Map. He will mark his next objective as Oreburgh
City, then leaves the school. Before leaving the place, talk to the two trainers
on the blue carpet in here to fight them. Answer yes to fight each of them.

|School Kid Harrison|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Given that School Kid Harrison only has a single Abra, and his Abra has
only a single attack, it should be considered a one-trick pony. The only thing
that should be considered is that your Pokémon with lower Special Defense stats
may not be able to inflict serious damage, so bring in someone with a decent
physical attack but also reasonable Special Defense.
____________________
|School Kid Christine|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
See strategy above for School Kid Christine, considering it is the exact
same battle.
After winning both battles, talk to School Kid Harrison again, and he
will give you TM 10, Hidden Power. Now that you have done what you can here,
exit back outside onto the streets. Try to head north, and you will be stopped
by a man whom will offer you a Pokétch/Pokémon Watch in exchange for three
Pokéwatch coupons held by three clowns hiding around town. You will want to grab
a Pokétch, because it can offer a number of applications that are really useful.
Each clown is wearing a yellow suit and yellow hat with white balls, so here are
their locations;
1) Walking around right behind the nearby Pokémon Center
2) Hanging out in front of the TV station (far northwest section of the
town, has a giant TV screen over the building)
3) West a ways from the TV station, wandering around in front of the
Pokéwatch Company
Answer "Yes" to all three of their questions, and in turn they will each
give you a coupon. Once you have obtained all three Pokéwatch coupons, head back
to the man who accosted you earlier near the Pokémon Center, and exchange them
for a Pokéwatch.
Head north past where the PokeMart is, and into the Jubilife Condominium
tower. Inside, talk to the lady sitting down at the table to obtain a Quick Claw
from her.
With all that done, there is only one thing left to do around here
before we leave. Head to the northern part of Jubilife and go all the way west
into the border check area. In here, talk to the fisherman and answer yes to get
the Old Rod. While it is almost completely useless, it DOES allow you to catch
Magikarp, which, once trained to a sufficient level, can evolve into the more
powerful Gyrados.
There are a couple of optional directions that you can go right now. You
could go west past the checkpoint and onto Route 218, or you could go north to
Route 204. However, Route 218 is a basic dock, where you cannot catch any
Pokemon or grab any items, while Route 204 currently leads to a dead end, but
will be visited shortly in the future. For now, just head east, and out onto
Route 203.

For those looking to catch an Abra, I would not bother trying too hard
to try and catch one. In the city coming up, you will find a girl who will trade
her Abra for a Machop, which you will be able to capture in the wild shortly.
Right after entering Route 203, you will be instantly accosted by your
Rival, who will then challenge you to a Pokémon battle. Prepare yourself, and
begin the battle of the titans.
_____
|Rival|
¯¯¯¯¯
Bring into the match your own starting Pokémon to counter Starly. This
is because (with the exception of if you have Piplup), Rival's own starter will
have a move that your's is weak to, and you do not want to put yourself into
that predicament. This is why you instead want to use your own starter now
against Starly. Deal with him thus, by first using whatever current stat-
changing moves you have for a turn or two, then take out Starly.
Once your Rival sends out his starter, retaliate with multiple stat-
lowering moves (if you are using Turtwig, then merely attack). Once your starter
is taken out of the match, your ideal next choice will be your own Starly for
two reasons - the first is that using Quick Attack, you can avert undesirable
results and get a fast hit in. The second is that if you are facing Turtwig, and
Starly is at least Level 9, you can use it's Wing Attack for super-effective
damage against Turtwig. Either way, Rival's starter should already be battered
enough by now, so take it out.
After you have obtained victory and your Rival runs off, head straight
north between two sections of forest to face off against the Youngster Michael.
_________________
|Youngster Michael|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first part of the battle should not be too difficult - just send
someone in and take out Michael's Bidoof in short order. No, it is the next part
that you should be worried about, as Zubat is Poison and Flying, two type
attributes that you should not yet have any attacks that are super-effective
against.
Additionally, Zubat can use Supersonic, which can confuse your own
Pokémon and cause it to attack itself. To counter this, I suggest you bring in
somebody with a good attack and speed that can take out Zubat in two hits,
before it can use Leech Life to restore itself, or Supersonic to pit your
Pokémon against itself.
Finally done with the battle, head around clockwise from Tomoki to find
a Pokéball lying on the ground. Pick it up to obtain an item Poké Ball, then
jump off of the nearby ledge. Now, head east along the path and up the first
flight of staircases, and you will encounter Youngster Dallas.
________________
|Youngster Dallas|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Dallas will send out a Kricketot, which is a pure Bug type. Send out
Chimchar, and destroy it with Ember. Lacking Chimchar, send out a Starly that is
at least Level 9, and do a one-turn kill with Wing Attack. Simple as that, and
Bide won't come into effect for at least a few turns, making the insurance
against any damage even less mandatory.
Now that the battle is done, head right and up the next flight of
stairs. You can dodge this next trainer if you want by walking alongside the
bottom or top strip of land, but if you want to fight, well, here is the
strategy for the next trainer; Lass Kaitlin.
____________
|Lass Kaitlin|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Of course, you STILL won't have anything that is super-effective against
Bidoof's type attributes, but given the species' general lack of stats in
ANYTHING, and it only being Level 4, you can send out anything you want to
against it, so long as it has an attack.
After Bidoof falls, Kaitlin will send out either her Starly or her
Budew. If it is a Starly she sends out, resist the urge to send out your own
Starly / Chimchar if you have one, and send out somebody else to counter it.
Again, given it is only Level 4, it should not take too much of an effort to
defeat it.
With her Budew, given it's Bug/Poison type, you have two choices. You
can either use a Chimchar if you have one complete with Ember, or you could use
Starly to utilize a Wing Attack. Or you could just send out something completely
neutral to it's type attributes. Just be sure that whatever you utilize has a
decent chunk of health left, as Budew knows Absorb, which can steal a handful
of your own health and add it to hers.
Next up, continue along to the southeast corner to face off against
Youngster Sebastian. This is another battle though that can be avoided, so long
as you make sure to run past him while he is looking in a direction other than
yours.
___________________
|Youngster Sebastian|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Start the battle off with a flying-type Pokémon (aka. Starly, the only
flyer available to you at this point in time), and use Wing Attack against his
Machop. Even if he manages to get a Low Kick on you, it won't do super-effective
damage against Starly's Normal-type.
Since that battle was ended so prematurely, continue to head up north.
You can walk around the back of the last trainer to avoid her. Otherwise,
prepare to face off against Lass Madeline.
_____________
|Lass Madeline|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The real worry in this battle is that Starly knows Quick Attack, which
means Madeline will spam it, which means Starly will always attack first. The
two ways that you can counter this is to either bring in your own Starly to use
Quick Attack (higher speed will have more precedence) or a Pokémon out of her
Starly's league, meaning it can win in a few turns. Since you have likely used a
Starly up already, try something else.
Afterwards, she will bring out a Bidoof. As we all know, Bidoof sucks,
so send out whatever you need to and defeat it.
Now that we are done with the retinue of trainers in Route 203, head
north and west down the small stairs, then grab the Pokéball lying on the ground
here for a Repel. Now that this is all over, I recommend you go back to the
Pokémon Center in Jubilife City first and heal up. That said, go into the cave
via the entrance east of Lass Madeline.

Walk past the hiker at the beginning of the cave, and he will give you
HM06, which will teach you Rock Smash. After a brief tutorial on HMs, he shall
also warn you that you need to beat the Oreburgh Gym Leader first to use it out
of battle. Of course, that is where we are going.
However, since you cannot use Rock Smash outside of battle yet, you
cannot go north. I do, however, recommend that you teach one of your Normal-type
Pokémon Rock Smash, so it can deal with all the Rock-types that you will face
very soon, along with a couple of Shinxes. Instead, head east to fight two
consecutive battles.
_____________
|Camper Curtis|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Camper Curtis' lone Pokémon, a Shinx, is reasonably leveled. However,
because it knows only Tackle and Leer, you can probably overpower it easily; in
fact, if you are trying to level up some of the weaker Pokémon like a Bidoof to
evolve it for Pokédex completion before you put it away, now is a good time to
teach Bidoof Rock Smash, a Fighting-type move. Given its type attribute, it also
means it will be super-effective against Shinx, an electric-type.
Continue right a bit to fight again.
_______________
|Picnicker Diana|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I would not be too worried about either of Diana's Pokémon. Psyduck's
only real move is Scratch, which does negligible amounts of damage, and Subimo
is a Bug Pokémon, again weak to both Fire and Flying attacks. Just bring out a
pair of Pokémon that you wish to level up and use Diana's lineup as experience
point fodder.
Having finished both battles, continue on outside into Oreburgh City.

Oreburgh City

Once you enter town from the Gate area, you should encounter a
Youngster. He will guide you over to the Oreburgh Gym, where you can meet up
with your Rival again, whom expresses disappointment as the Gym Leader is
currently in the Oreburgh Mine. I believe that makes our next direction pretty
clear-cut. Let us take a side-stop to Route 207 first, however. This is north of
town. Make a Pokemon Center visit first if you have to.

There is not really too much to do here except for training; however,

against the Orebough Gym Leader, and STAB makes it 3.0x the damage. You can also
grab a Poké Ball from the northwest corner of the grass patch. If you go and
examine the empty space in the northeast corner, you can get a second Poké Ball.
Afterwards, head back into town.

Before we go, however, there are a few things we need to do. First off,
Pokémon Center and Poké Mart to replenish up on whatever you need. Secondly, in
the northwest corner of town, enter the left apartment building, and go to the
second floor. Talk to the guy wandering around in here, and he will give you a
Dusk Ball.
Head over to the next tower. Downstairs, if you caught a Machop, you can
trade it for an Abra by talking to the young girl walking around. If you go
upstairs with a Zubat in your party and talk to the man standing to the right,
you can get a Heal Ball off of him.
From the Pokemon Center, head right and down into another building. Talk
to the junior wearing a baseball cap on the second floor for a Great Ball. If
you head into the building right north of the Pokemon enter, you will find the
Oreburgh Mining Museum. Admission is free, so feel free to take a look around.
Once you are finally done, head to the southeast section of town to
enter the mining area. Here, head to the southeast corner of the mining works to
talk to a man wandering around near a Machop, and he will give you a Super
Potion. With that said, head to the south-central portion of this area, then
enter Oreburgh Mine itself.

Inside, head right from the entrance to open an item Pokéball to obtain
an X Defend. Now head down the three flights of dirt staircases, and enter the
heart of the mine itself.
Deep into the mine, head left from the entrance, then go south and off
the ledge. Continue down until you get to the southwest corner, and pick up the
Pokéball for an Escape Rope. If you want to, talk to the nearby miner to face
off against Worker Colin.
____________
|Worker Colin|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Given that both of Colin's Pokémon are Rock-types, it means that you
cannot expect a Normal-type attack to hurt. Instead, you'll have to use other
attacks, such as Rock Smash or Bubble, or neutral attacks such as Kricketot's
Bide, or its evolution's Fury Cutter. Other than that, I cannot really offer any
advice, other than to watch out for Onix's Bind - it can and WILL hurt.
After the battle, continue right some more, then talk to the guy in
between two rocks wearing a red hardhat. This is the Oreburgh Gym Leader,
Roark. After he uses Rock Smash on one of the rocks, he will invite you to
battle him in the gym. Once he leaves, head right and then go north, opening the
Pokéball on the way to get a Potion. Talk to the guy in front of the rock facing
the wall if you want to face Worker Mason.
____________
|Worker Mason|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is a ridiculously easy fight. Bring in a Flying-type (aka your
Starly most likely), and use a Flying-type attack. Battle over in two attacks
tops.
Now that that is over, continue going around the room counterclockwise,
then head north and exit out the way you came in. Continue up north through the
gave and outside back into Oreburgh City.
-------------
Oreburgh City
-------------
Now that we have gotten Roark back into the gym, we have some last
minute preparations to make. Go the Pokémon Center, and pick up Potions where
needed.
PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS: For your Pokémon list, definitely bring your
starter. If your starter was Chimchar, evolve it to Monferno at Level 14 so it
can gain Mach Punch, a Fighting-type move. If your starter was Piplup, you may
also wish to evolve it at Level 16 to gain the useful Metal Claw, a Steel-type
move. Other useful Pokémon to use are Kricketune (evolution of Kricketot) which
will have Fury Cutter and Leech Life, Budew if you decided to grab one off of
Route 204 (learns Mega Drain at Level 13), and anything that can learn Rock
Smash (another Fighting-type move). Taking in a Machop from Route 207, from the
north of the city, is also a very feasible idea, because, again, Fighting beats
Rock.
After you have finished organizing a reasonable party, head off to the
gym.

Given his single Geodude, you can call out anything that it has a
weakness to here, whether it be Piplup, Turtwig, or somebody who knows Rock
Smash. Simply said, it should not take too much of an effort to put down his
Geodude, so long as your own stats are on par with his.
Head north after your first victory to face off against the second
guardian.
________________
|Youngster Darius|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Youngster Darius has two instead of one Pokémon in his lineup, but they
ARE weaker. This can actually be used as a fodder match, so bring out one of
your weaker Pokémon (that has a type-advantage attack) that you wish to level
up, and let it loose on the Geodude, and then his Onix.
Now that that is done, continue up, and you will face the overseer of
the gym - Gym Leader Roark.
________________
|Gym Leader Roark|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Before I start with the general strategy for each Pokémon, I will tell
you about the properties of Stealth Rock. Each of Roark's Pokémon can use it,
and when it is utilized, whenever you switch Pokémon, the new Pokémon that you
bring in will be injured by Stealth Rock for a one-time hit. However, Stealth
Rock will continue hitting on throughout the battle, so definitely make sure to
be prepared for it after Roark uses it and you switch out. It is also one of the
most broken moves in the game because of its specific attribute: Stealth Rock
will deal 1/8th of your Pokemon's total HP as damage, but it also follows
Pokemon typing. If you have Chimchar, for example, it will take 1/4th of its
total HP as damage because it is 2x weak to Rock. On the other hand, Pokemon
that are resistant to Rock will only take 1/16th damage.
Roark's starter, Geodude, should not be underestimated, but neither
should you take out all the stops and throw everything you have it. Throw one of
your weaker Pokémon out to battle it (likely one of the Bugs, or someone whom
knows Rock Smash), as you will need your strongest Pokémon for later on in the
match. If you have a Kricketune at a decent chunk of HP and Defense, you could
also try using Fury Cutter multiple times in a row so (if) when you defeat
Geodude, the attack power will carry over to when fighting Onix. Mega Drain is
also a fine choice.
After Roark sends out Geodude, switch Pokémon if your front-liner only
knew Fighting moves to attack with (with the exception of if it is an evolved
Monferno). This is because Onix has a high physical defense, and even being
able to hit it with an attack it's weak against means nothing much if it is a
physical attack. Indeed, you will probably want to use either Mega Drain
(Kricketune and Turtwig), Leech Seed + Absorb + Razor Leaf (Turtwig) or Bubble
(Piplup), all of them being Special Attacks except for Razor Leaf.
Finally, Roark will pull out his trump card - the never-before-seen
Cranidos. Choose carefully whom you bring into the duel to start - his Pursuit
attack means that if you try to switch your own Pokémon out, it will do double
damage to whoever it hits. As such, I would recommend you bring in to start
someone whom can act as a big wall, and wear it down with status-lowering
attacks, and then change it to your own best Pokémon, then take it out with type
-advantage attacks. Headbutt also can cause your Pokemon to Flinch, which means
it will lose a turn.
With your first gym battle in the bag, Roark will give you the Coal
Badge, which allows you to use the HM06 Rock Smash out of battle, and also hands
over TM76, which teaches Stealth Rock. Afterwards, leave the gym.

Go to the Pokémon Center, then try to leave the city by way of the

Badge, and informs you that you cannot take Route 207 to Eterna City, home to
the next Gym, without a bicycle. To get to Eterna, you will have to now go there
by way of Jubilife City, so enter the gate.

Go to the Pokémon Center and recover up where needed. Before continuing
on, put in the front of your lineup someone like your starter (regardless of
type) or a Flying-type Pokémon. Preferably at least a reasonably-strong Pokémon
(Level 11+). That done, head to the far north of Jubilife City, and you will
encounter Lucas/Dawn and Professor Rowan being cornered by two men in blue.
These will turn out to be members of Team Galaxy, and after some small talk, you
and Lucas/Dawn will get into a double-team battle against the two grunts.
_________________________________________________________
|Team Galactic Grunt & Team Galactic Grunt (Double Battle)|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Depending on which Pokémon that you chose at the beginning of the game,
Lucas/Dawn will have the type that you are weak to, and at Level 13. No matter
whether s/he has Chimchar, Turtwig or Piplup, you should bring in a Rock-type
such as Geodude, as both Wurmple and Zubat have type weaknesses to Rock-type
attacks. If s/he's using Chimchar, let him/her have Wurmple while you take
Zubat. Otherwise, it is fair game as to who you take on first. The Galactic
Grunt's Pokémon themselves should not be too much of a trouble, so long as you
finish the battle swiftly - else, Zubat's Supersonic and Bite may take a bit too
much of your HP. Other Pokemon you can choose to use are Chimchar/Infernape or
Starly, with Ember or Wing Attack being supereffective against Wurmple.
Having won, Lucas/Dawn and the Professor will talk some more, and leave.
Before you are free to move, a guy from the TV Station shall then come up to you
and inform you the station is once more open, and hands off a Fashion Case to
you, which will allow you to dress your Pokémon up at the TV station.
Before going to the TV station (the large skyscraper to the west of the
road on the northern part of Jubilife City), head west past the station and go
into the Poketch company building. Inside, talk to the President, who is
standing next to the reception desk, to obtain the Memo Pad Poketch app. Exit
outside and go back east and then head into the TV Station.

Afterwards, head down the staircase, and you will be met with by your mother,
whom shall have you be running after your Rival. Exit the house (with a warning
that will not apply for any longer than five minutes), then go to the
northwestern house in Twinleaf Town. Rival will pop out once you approach and
then head back inside. Follow after him, and go up the staircase in his house to
his room on the second floor. After the conversation is done, make your
leave and continue outside again, then head north and into the Route 201 Area.

Inside, you will automatically have an encounter with Professor Rowan
and either Lucas (if you are a girl) or Dawn (if you are a boy). The two shall
take their leave, giving you the opportunity to choose your own Pokémon. You had
better make it a good one, as a Starly will attack you at that moment. Below is
a brief profile of each of the starter Pokémon and their evolution chain.
____________________
|#001 Turtwig - Grass|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Turtwig is an effective all-around balanced Pokémon, knowing Withdraw
right from the start, and learns Absorb and Razor Leaf at Levels 9 and 13.
Coupled with the Overgrow ability, which allows it's Grass attacks to increase
in power by 1.5 when HP is low, makes an effective early fighter, and it evolves
into Grotle at Level 18 and Torterra at Level 32, the latter of which will
be Grass/Ground type, and will be effective in Gyms 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
____________________
|#004 Chimchar - Fire|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Chimchar focuses on attack, and can learn Leer, Taunt, Facade, and Calm
Mind as well as a variety of other physical and Fire attacks. The ability Blaze
allows his Fire attacks to deal 1.5x damage at low HP, but it's real claim to
fame is it's early evolution - evolving at Level 14 to Monferno (though it only
evolves to Infernape at Level 36). These latter two forms are also Fighting
type, much like the previous generation's Fire-starter's evolution chain, with
other attacks learnable like Feint, In Fight, and Punish. This makes him useful
in Gyms 1 (once evolved), 2, 5, 6, and 7. I HIGHLY recommend taking Chimchar
because, besides Ponyta/Rapidash, he is the ONLY Fire-type that you will be able
to obtain in the game until you have seen all 150 Sinnoh Pokémon, and Fire-types
are very much needed in the regular game of Diamond/Pearl.
___________________
|#007 Piplup - Water|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Piplup is basically the "advanced player's Pokémon" of the
Diamond/Pearl generation, with a very poor early attack range ranging from
Bubble to Bide - not exactly the greatest variety. However, once he evolves to
Prinplup at level 16, things look up a bit, with attacks such as Metal Claw and
Bubblebeam, and Empoleon (whom is evolved to at Level 36) has a second type of
Steel, and can learn good attacks such as Aqua Jet, Mist, and Drill Peck. Thus,
this Pokémon is generally not very useful in gyms, likely only being effective
in Gyms 1, 5, 6, and 7.
After you make your pick of Pokémon (and in traditional fashion, your
Rival will choose the Pokémon that yours is weak to), you will have to fend off
a Level 2 Starly. At this point in time, I believe that you will not need a
strategy considering the lopsided power of your own Pokémon, so just attack
until the Starly falls. Once done, Lucas/Dawn will come back to meet you and
take the suitcase back. Head back south and leave the forest.
---------
Route 201
---------
Head east from here, and you will encounter Professor Rowan and
Lucas/Dawn again. After you finish your small talk, you shall then be
automatically transported back to your house in Twinleaf Town.

Running Shoes to go with it. With these shoes, you can now press B to run, which
should aid you in making the long journey just a little less tedious with the
walking. Exit the house and leave the town north, and from now on, if you need

For now, you will not be able to capture any wild Pokemon, owing to your
lack of Pokeballs to capture them with. In the future, you will have them, but
you can only fight Pokemon for EXP and EVs currently. You can heal up at your
mother's place back in Twinleaf Town by talking to your mother.
After entering Route 201, head east along the path that Rival blocked
you from moving earlier. Once you make it past the first section of grass,
continue along the dirt road a slight ways, then head north and east through
some more grass. Talk to the person standing in the grass here to get a free
complimentary Potion. Eventually, you should just be able to stroll from there
right into Sandgem Town.

Once you arrive in town, you will come face-to-face with Lucas/Dawn,
again. Rival will exit the nearby building and leave, and inside, Professor
Rowan will let you keep your own Pokémon as a gift. At this point, you can also
nickname it. He then asks you the perennial question: do you wish to journey
Shinnoh and help him in catologuing Pokémon? Accept, and he will give you the
Pokédex, and send you off. Lucas/Dawn will also receive the third Pokémon of the
initial trio, making a secondary rival for you.
Outside, Lucas/Dawn will take you around for a little more sightseeing,
showing off the PokéMart and Pokémon Center. Afterwards, s/he will head to the
northeast exit to Route 202 and block it off...for now. At this point, if you
wish to, you can also head to the PokéMart here to pick up some Poké Balls;
however, you will be getting some for free relatively shortly.
Items in PokéMarts operate slightly different in Diamond/Pearl than in
previous generations. All PokéMarts will have the same items, but you can only
buy some items after you get specific Gym Badges - hence, the four items listed
here are the only four you can buy at this point in the game.
Head down to the southeast corner of Sandgem Town and head south onto
the beach, with the proper designation of Route 219.

Continue north and then west through the grasses, and you will meet up
with Lucas/Dawn again. Lucas/Dawn will teach you the conventions of battling and
capturing a Pokémon, so if you are new to the series, pay attention. After some
words from him/her, s/he shall then give you five Poké Balls, and finally
leaves.
Now that we are on our merry way, it should be noted that this is an
appropriate time to catch some Pokémon for general battling, as if you only have
your Starter right now, things may get tough in the future. Picking up one of
each species in the area before you go on is a good idea, along with training
each of them to Level 4 or Level 5. Bidoof you will probably find to be useless
(but can still be utilized as a very useful HM whore), but Starly and Shinx each
will be relatively useful for those just wanting to make it through the game,
with no multiplayer; the former species will learn a number of Flying techniques
and can spam status moves, while the latter can learn Dark-type moves in
addition to Electric moves to destroy any Psychic-types you may encounter.
Kricketot is also useful, especially if you can get one holding Metronome. You
will certainly find better Pokemon later on, but the three mentioned here can be
fairly useful for some time.
After you are done, continue west and north through the grass, then try
to head east and you will meet up and battle your very first trainer - Youngster
Tristan.
_________________
|Youngster Tristan|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This battle is pretty easy to win, given that he has only a Level 5
Starly. Send out either your own Starly or a Shinx, as either of them can
counter the effects of his Growl with Growl and Leer, respectively. After the
battle of altrition is over and Tristan's Starly starts attacking, respond in
favor the next turn. The only other note here is the enemy Starly's Quick Attack
- if your own Pokémon does not have enough health to sustain another attack (and
it is not a Starly with Quick Attack and higher Speed stats), switch it out, as
Quick Attack always strikes first.
With the battle over, continue east along the dirt road. You will be
caught by the next trainer in line, Lass Natalie.
____________
|Lass Natalie|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Let's face it - if you have been doing any sort of training whatsoever,
Natalie's Pokémon lineup will be a basic joke, given the two Bidoofs' low
levels. As such, you should treat them as fodder to gain a bit of experience
points for once you reach Jubilife City. Just send out a Pokémon, and attack
attack attack until your opposition falls.
Once finished, continue north through the field of grass. Try to
continue west, and you will be forced to battle the last of the triad of
trainers in Route 202; Youngster Logan.
_______________
|Youngster Logan|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
By this point in time, your Pokémon should have gone up a few levels
from the previous battles and random encounters. As Logan's Shinx is only
Level 5, it does not yet know any Electrical techniques, so send out a Starly if
you want to. Otherwise, this should not be too difficult of a battle.
Now that you have defeated all the trainers in Route 202, head straight
west from your original position to the northwest position. Here, grab a Potion
from a Pokéball lying on the grass patch, then go back east just a bit and head
north. Right before the steps, head left to the tree and up into the far end
space next to the wall, and click A to find a hidden Paralyz Heal (you will not
be able to find hidden items on your own until you find the Itemfinder). After,
head up into Jubilife City.

Here, you shall meet up with Lucas/Dawn again. S/he will give you the
number of Pokémon that you have caught so far, then takes her leave after
informing you of your Rival's current location - at the Trainer School right
here in Jubilife City.
The best way to find your Rival is to use its relative location -
opposite the street from the Pokémon Center in town. Enter the building, and
inside, talk to Rival, whom is at the blackboard. You will lose the Parcel, but
in turn, shall obtain a Town Map. He will mark his next objective as Oreburgh
City, then leaves the school. Before leaving the place, talk to the two trainers
on the blue carpet in here to fight them. Answer yes to fight each of them.

|School Kid Harrison|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Given that School Kid Harrison only has a single Abra, and his Abra has
only a single attack, it should be considered a one-trick pony. The only thing
that should be considered is that your Pokémon with lower Special Defense stats
may not be able to inflict serious damage, so bring in someone with a decent
physical attack but also reasonable Special Defense.
____________________
|School Kid Christine|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
See strategy above for School Kid Christine, considering it is the exact
same battle.
After winning both battles, talk to School Kid Harrison again, and he
will give you TM 10, Hidden Power. Now that you have done what you can here,
exit back outside onto the streets. Try to head north, and you will be stopped
by a man whom will offer you a Pokétch/Pokémon Watch in exchange for three
Pokéwatch coupons held by three clowns hiding around town. You will want to grab
a Pokétch, because it can offer a number of applications that are really useful.
Each clown is wearing a yellow suit and yellow hat with white balls, so here are
their locations;
1) Walking around right behind the nearby Pokémon Center
2) Hanging out in front of the TV station (far northwest section of the
town, has a giant TV screen over the building)
3) West a ways from the TV station, wandering around in front of the
Pokéwatch Company
Answer "Yes" to all three of their questions, and in turn they will each
give you a coupon. Once you have obtained all three Pokéwatch coupons, head back
to the man who accosted you earlier near the Pokémon Center, and exchange them
for a Pokéwatch.
Head north past where the PokeMart is, and into the Jubilife Condominium
tower. Inside, talk to the lady sitting down at the table to obtain a Quick Claw
from her.
With all that done, there is only one thing left to do around here
before we leave. Head to the northern part of Jubilife and go all the way west
into the border check area. In here, talk to the fisherman and answer yes to get
the Old Rod. While it is almost completely useless, it DOES allow you to catch
Magikarp, which, once trained to a sufficient level, can evolve into the more
powerful Gyrados.
There are a couple of optional directions that you can go right now. You
could go west past the checkpoint and onto Route 218, or you could go north to
Route 204. However, Route 218 is a basic dock, where you cannot catch any
Pokemon or grab any items, while Route 204 currently leads to a dead end, but
will be visited shortly in the future. For now, just head east, and out onto
Route 203.

|Reward: $80|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
For those looking to catch an Abra, I would not bother trying too hard
to try and catch one. In the city coming up, you will find a girl who will trade
her Abra for a Machop, which you will be able to capture in the wild shortly.
Right after entering Route 203, you will be instantly accosted by your
Rival, who will then challenge you to a Pokémon battle. Prepare yourself, and
begin the battle of the titans.
_____
|Rival|
¯¯¯¯¯
Bring into the match your own starting Pokémon to counter Starly. This
is because (with the exception of if you have Piplup), Rival's own starter will
have a move that your's is weak to, and you do not want to put yourself into
that predicament. This is why you instead want to use your own starter now
against Starly. Deal with him thus, by first using whatever current stat-
changing moves you have for a turn or two, then take out Starly.
Once your Rival sends out his starter, retaliate with multiple stat-
lowering moves (if you are using Turtwig, then merely attack). Once your starter
is taken out of the match, your ideal next choice will be your own Starly for
two reasons - the first is that using Quick Attack, you can avert undesirable
results and get a fast hit in. The second is that if you are facing Turtwig, and
Starly is at least Level 9, you can use it's Wing Attack for super-effective
damage against Turtwig. Either way, Rival's starter should already be battered
enough by now, so take it out.
After you have obtained victory and your Rival runs off, head straight
north between two sections of forest to face off against the Youngster Michael.
_________________
|Youngster Michael|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The first part of the battle should not be too difficult - just send
someone in and take out Michael's Bidoof in short order. No, it is the next part
that you should be worried about, as Zubat is Poison and Flying, two type
attributes that you should not yet have any attacks that are super-effective
against.
Additionally, Zubat can use Supersonic, which can confuse your own
Pokémon and cause it to attack itself. To counter this, I suggest you bring in
somebody with a good attack and speed that can take out Zubat in two hits,
before it can use Leech Life to restore itself, or Supersonic to pit your
Pokémon against itself.
Finally done with the battle, head around clockwise from Tomoki to find
a Pokéball lying on the ground. Pick it up to obtain an item Poké Ball, then
jump off of the nearby ledge. Now, head east along the path and up the first
flight of staircases, and you will encounter Youngster Dallas.
________________
|Youngster Dallas|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Dallas will send out a Kricketot, which is a pure Bug type. Send out
Chimchar, and destroy it with Ember. Lacking Chimchar, send out a Starly that is
at least Level 9, and do a one-turn kill with Wing Attack. Simple as that, and
Bide won't come into effect for at least a few turns, making the insurance
against any damage even less mandatory.
Now that the battle is done, head right and up the next flight of
stairs. You can dodge this next trainer if you want by walking alongside the
bottom or top strip of land, but if you want to fight, well, here is the
strategy for the next trainer; Lass Kaitlin.
____________
|Lass Kaitlin|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Of course, you STILL won't have anything that is super-effective against
Bidoof's type attributes, but given the species' general lack of stats in
ANYTHING, and it only being Level 4, you can send out anything you want to
against it, so long as it has an attack.
After Bidoof falls, Kaitlin will send out either her Starly or her
Budew. If it is a Starly she sends out, resist the urge to send out your own
Starly / Chimchar if you have one, and send out somebody else to counter it.
Again, given it is only Level 4, it should not take too much of an effort to
defeat it.
With her Budew, given it's Bug/Poison type, you have two choices. You
can either use a Chimchar if you have one complete with Ember, or you could use
Starly to utilize a Wing Attack. Or you could just send out something completely
neutral to it's type attributes. Just be sure that whatever you utilize has a
decent chunk of health left, as Budew knows Absorb, which can steal a handful
of your own health and add it to hers.
Next up, continue along to the southeast corner to face off against
Youngster Sebastian. This is another battle though that can be avoided, so long
as you make sure to run past him while he is looking in a direction other than
yours.
___________________
|Youngster Sebastian|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Start the battle off with a flying-type Pokémon (aka. Starly, the only
flyer available to you at this point in time), and use Wing Attack against his
Machop. Even if he manages to get a Low Kick on you, it won't do super-effective
damage against Starly's Normal-type.
Since that battle was ended so prematurely, continue to head up north.
You can walk around the back of the last trainer to avoid her. Otherwise,
prepare to face off against Lass Madeline.
_____________
|Lass Madeline|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The real worry in this battle is that Starly knows Quick Attack, which
means Madeline will spam it, which means Starly will always attack first. The
two ways that you can counter this is to either bring in your own Starly to use
Quick Attack (higher speed will have more precedence) or a Pokémon out of her
Starly's league, meaning it can win in a few turns. Since you have likely used a
Starly up already, try something else.
Afterwards, she will bring out a Bidoof. As we all know, Bidoof sucks,
so send out whatever you need to and defeat it.
Now that we are done with the retinue of trainers in Route 203, head
north and west down the small stairs, then grab the Pokéball lying on the ground
here for a Repel. Now that this is all over, I recommend you go back to the
Pokémon Center in Jubilife City first and heal up. That said, go into the cave
via the entrance east of Lass Madeline.

Walk past the hiker at the beginning of the cave, and he will give you
HM06, which will teach you Rock Smash. After a brief tutorial on HMs, he shall
also warn you that you need to beat the Oreburgh Gym Leader first to use it out
of battle. Of course, that is where we are going.
However, since you cannot use Rock Smash outside of battle yet, you
cannot go north. I do, however, recommend that you teach one of your Normal-type
Pokémon Rock Smash, so it can deal with all the Rock-types that you will face
very soon, along with a couple of Shinxes. Instead, head east to fight two
consecutive battles.
_____________
|Camper Curtis|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Camper Curtis' lone Pokémon, a Shinx, is reasonably leveled. However,
because it knows only Tackle and Leer, you can probably overpower it easily; in
fact, if you are trying to level up some of the weaker Pokémon like a Bidoof to
evolve it for Pokédex completion before you put it away, now is a good time to
teach Bidoof Rock Smash, a Fighting-type move. Given its type attribute, it also
means it will be super-effective against Shinx, an electric-type.
Continue right a bit to fight again.
_______________
|Picnicker Diana|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I would not be too worried about either of Diana's Pokémon. Psyduck's
only real move is Scratch, which does negligible amounts of damage, and Subimo
is a Bug Pokémon, again weak to both Fire and Flying attacks. Just bring out a
pair of Pokémon that you wish to level up and use Diana's lineup as experience
point fodder.
Having finished both battles, continue on outside into Oreburgh City.
-------------
Oreburgh City
-------------
Once you enter town from the Gate area, you should encounter a
Youngster. He will guide you over to the Oreburgh Gym, where you can meet up
with your Rival again, whom expresses disappointment as the Gym Leader is
currently in the Oreburgh Mine. I believe that makes our next direction pretty
clear-cut. Let us take a side-stop to Route 207 first, however. This is north of
town. Make a Pokemon Center visit first if you have to.

There is not really too much to do here except for training; however,

against the Orebough Gym Leader, and STAB makes it 3.0x the damage. You can also
grab a Poké Ball from the northwest corner of the grass patch. If you go and
examine the empty space in the northeast corner, you can get a second Poké Ball.
Afterwards, head back into town.

Before we go, however, there are a few things we need to do. First off,
Pokémon Center and Poké Mart to replenish up on whatever you need. Secondly, in
the northwest corner of town, enter the left apartment building, and go to the
second floor. Talk to the guy wandering around in here, and he will give you a
Dusk Ball.
Head over to the next tower. Downstairs, if you caught a Machop, you can
trade it for an Abra by talking to the young girl walking around. If you go
upstairs with a Zubat in your party and talk to the man standing to the right,
you can get a Heal Ball off of him.
From the Pokemon Center, head right and down into another building. Talk
to the junior wearing a baseball cap on the second floor for a Great Ball. If
you head into the building right north of the Pokemon enter, you will find the
Oreburgh Mining Museum. Admission is free, so feel free to take a look around.
Once you are finally done, head to the southeast section of town to
enter the mining area. Here, head to the southeast corner of the mining works to
talk to a man wandering around near a Machop, and he will give you a Super
Potion. With that said, head to the south-central portion of this area, then
enter Oreburgh Mine itself.

Inside, head right from the entrance to open an item Pokéball to obtain
an X Defend. Now head down the three flights of dirt staircases, and enter the
heart of the mine itself.
Deep into the mine, head left from the entrance, then go south and off
the ledge. Continue down until you get to the southwest corner, and pick up the
Pokéball for an Escape Rope. If you want to, talk to the nearby miner to face
off against Worker Colin.
____________
|Worker Colin|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Given that both of Colin's Pokémon are Rock-types, it means that you
cannot expect a Normal-type attack to hurt. Instead, you'll have to use other
attacks, such as Rock Smash or Bubble, or neutral attacks such as Kricketot's
Bide, or its evolution's Fury Cutter. Other than that, I cannot really offer any
advice, other than to watch out for Onix's Bind - it can and WILL hurt.
After the battle, continue right some more, then talk to the guy in
between two rocks wearing a red hardhat. This is the Oreburgh Gym Leader,
Roark. After he uses Rock Smash on one of the rocks, he will invite you to
battle him in the gym. Once he leaves, head right and then go north, opening the
Pokéball on the way to get a Potion. Talk to the guy in front of the rock facing
the wall if you want to face Worker Mason.
____________
|Worker Mason|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is a ridiculously easy fight. Bring in a Flying-type (aka your
Starly most likely), and use a Flying-type attack. Battle over in two attacks
tops.
Now that that is over, continue going around the room counterclockwise,
then head north and exit out the way you came in. Continue up north through the
gave and outside back into Oreburgh City.
-------------
Oreburgh City
-------------
Now that we have gotten Roark back into the gym, we have some last
minute preparations to make. Go the Pokémon Center, and pick up Potions where
needed.
PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS: For your Pokémon list, definitely bring your
starter. If your starter was Chimchar, evolve it to Monferno at Level 14 so it
can gain Mach Punch, a Fighting-type move. If your starter was Piplup, you may
also wish to evolve it at Level 16 to gain the useful Metal Claw, a Steel-type
move. Other useful Pokémon to use are Kricketune (evolution of Kricketot) which
will have Fury Cutter and Leech Life, Budew if you decided to grab one off of
Route 204 (learns Mega Drain at Level 13), and anything that can learn Rock
Smash (another Fighting-type move). Taking in a Machop from Route 207, from the
north of the city, is also a very feasible idea, because, again, Fighting beats
Rock.
After you have finished organizing a reasonable party, head off to the
gym.

__________________
|Youngster Jonathon|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Given his single Geodude, you can call out anything that it has a
weakness to here, whether it be Piplup, Turtwig, or somebody who knows Rock
Smash. Simply said, it should not take too much of an effort to put down his
Geodude, so long as your own stats are on par with his.
Head north after your first victory to face off against the second
guardian.
________________
|Youngster Darius|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Youngster Darius has two instead of one Pokémon in his lineup, but they
ARE weaker. This can actually be used as a fodder match, so bring out one of
your weaker Pokémon (that has a type-advantage attack) that you wish to level
up, and let it loose on the Geodude, and then his Onix.
Now that that is done, continue up, and you will face the overseer of
the gym - Gym Leader Roark.
________________
|Gym Leader Roark|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Before I start with the general strategy for each Pokémon, I will tell
you about the properties of Stealth Rock. Each of Roark's Pokémon can use it,
and when it is utilized, whenever you switch Pokémon, the new Pokémon that you
bring in will be injured by Stealth Rock for a one-time hit. However, Stealth
Rock will continue hitting on throughout the battle, so definitely make sure to
be prepared for it after Roark uses it and you switch out. It is also one of the
most broken moves in the game because of its specific attribute: Stealth Rock
will deal 1/8th of your Pokemon's total HP as damage, but it also follows
Pokemon typing. If you have Chimchar, for example, it will take 1/4th of its
total HP as damage because it is 2x weak to Rock. On the other hand, Pokemon
that are resistant to Rock will only take 1/16th damage.
Roark's starter, Geodude, should not be underestimated, but neither
should you take out all the stops and throw everything you have it. Throw one of
your weaker Pokémon out to battle it (likely one of the Bugs, or someone whom
knows Rock Smash), as you will need your strongest Pokémon for later on in the
match. If you have a Kricketune at a decent chunk of HP and Defense, you could
also try using Fury Cutter multiple times in a row so (if) when you defeat
Geodude, the attack power will carry over to when fighting Onix. Mega Drain is
also a fine choice.
After Roark sends out Geodude, switch Pokémon if your front-liner only
knew Fighting moves to attack with (with the exception of if it is an evolved
Monferno). This is because Onix has a high physical defense, and even being
able to hit it with an attack it's weak against means nothing much if it is a
physical attack. Indeed, you will probably want to use either Mega Drain
(Kricketune and Turtwig), Leech Seed + Absorb + Razor Leaf (Turtwig) or Bubble
(Piplup), all of them being Special Attacks except for Razor Leaf.
Finally, Roark will pull out his trump card - the never-before-seen
Cranidos. Choose carefully whom you bring into the duel to start - his Pursuit
attack means that if you try to switch your own Pokémon out, it will do double
damage to whoever it hits. As such, I would recommend you bring in to start
someone whom can act as a big wall, and wear it down with status-lowering
attacks, and then change it to your own best Pokémon, then take it out with type
-advantage attacks. Headbutt also can cause your Pokemon to Flinch, which means
it will lose a turn.
With your first gym battle in the bag, Roark will give you the Coal
Badge, which allows you to use the HM06 Rock Smash out of battle, and also hands
over TM76, which teaches Stealth Rock. Afterwards, leave the gym.

Go to the Pokémon Center, then try to leave the city by way of the

Badge, and informs you that you cannot take Route 207 to Eterna City, home to
the next Gym, without a bicycle. To get to Eterna, you will have to now go there
by way of Jubilife City, so enter the gate.

Go to the Pokémon Center and recover up where needed. Before continuing
on, put in the front of your lineup someone like your starter (regardless of
type) or a Flying-type Pokémon. Preferably at least a reasonably-strong Pokémon
(Level 11+). That done, head to the far north of Jubilife City, and you will
encounter Lucas/Dawn and Professor Rowan being cornered by two men in blue.
These will turn out to be members of Team Galaxy, and after some small talk, you
and Lucas/Dawn will get into a double-team battle against the two grunts.

Depending on which Pokémon that you chose at the beginning of the game,
Lucas/Dawn will have the type that you are weak to, and at Level 13. No matter
whether s/he has Chimchar, Turtwig or Piplup, you should bring in a Rock-type
such as Geodude, as both Wurmple and Zubat have type weaknesses to Rock-type
attacks. If s/he's using Chimchar, let him/her have Wurmple while you take
Zubat. Otherwise, it is fair game as to who you take on first. The Galactic
Grunt's Pokémon themselves should not be too much of a trouble, so long as you
finish the battle swiftly - else, Zubat's Supersonic and Bite may take a bit too
much of your HP. Other Pokemon you can choose to use are Chimchar/Infernape or
Starly, with Ember or Wing Attack being supereffective against Wurmple.
Having won, Lucas/Dawn and the Professor will talk some more, and leave.
Before you are free to move, a guy from the TV Station shall then come up to you
and inform you the station is once more open, and hands off a Fashion Case to
you, which will allow you to dress your Pokémon up at the TV station.
Before going to the TV station (the large skyscraper to the west of the
road on the northern part of Jubilife City), head west past the station and go
into the Poketch company building. Inside, talk to the President, who is
standing next to the reception desk, to obtain the Memo Pad Poketch app. Exit
outside and go back east and then head into the TV Station.
