🚀Mossdeep City

In town, a fisherman in the house to the north gives you the Super Rod, the best rod in the game. Near Steven Stone’s house, a boy gives you a King’s Rock, which sometimes makes the opponent flinch. The Mossdeep Space Center is preparing a rocket launch.

🔮The Mossdeep Gym

The Gym is full of Psychics, whose Psychic Pokémon (Kadabra, Kirlia, Natu, Girafarig…) are fast and hit hard with special attacks. Tate and Liza face you together, in a Double Battle.

Our strategy

Lunatone and Solrock are Rock and Psychic: they fear Water, Grass, Bug, Ghost, Dark and Steel. Surf is perfect: in a Double Battle, it hits both opponents at once. Be careful, their Levitate ability makes them immune to Ground attacks (Earthquake is useless). Solrock uses Sunny Day then Solar Beam: take it out first. Lunatone puts you to sleep with Hypnosis.

🤿HM08 Dive

Pay a visit to Steven Stone at his house in Mossdeep City: he gives you HM08 Dive. In the dark water areas, use it to descend and explore the ocean floor. The submarine stolen by the Team went in that direction, toward Route 128.

Emerald

In Emerald, Team Magma attacks the Space Center first to steal the rocket’s fuel. You drive them off in a Double Battle alongside Steven Stone, who gives you Dive right afterward.
