Pokémon Gold Version, Silver Version, and Crystal Version - Walkthrough - Ecruteak City

This information might be useful when playing Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, too.

Ecruteak City

"A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present"

Ecruteak City is famous for its two towers. One of them, in the west, has burned, while the other, called Tin Tower, still stands.

First, go into the Pokémon Center. Bill appears. He’ll tell you he just finished fixing his Time Capsule. The Time Capsule will let you transfer Pokémon from older games (Red, Blue, and Yellow) to Gold or Silver. He tells you that you can’t have any new moves from Gold and Silver or Pokémon when trying to use the machine. The Time Capsules come in effect the next day.

Bill will then return to his home in the southwest part of Goldenrod City. When you enter his house, talk to Bill and he’ll give you an Eevee. When it’s friendly enough, it will evolve into Espeon during the day, or Umbreon at night.

Go to the Dance Theater to see the Kimono Girls.

Here are the Kimono Girls, from the left.

  • Naoko has a L17 Flareon.
  • Sayo has a L17 Espeon.
  • Zuki has a L17 Umbreon.
  • Kuni has a L17 Vaporeon.
  • Miki has a L17 Jolteon.
After defeating all 5, talk to the man in the hat to receive HM03 (Surf).

In the house left of the Pokémon Center, the boy will give you an Itemfinder.

Next, visit the Burned Tower, once known as the Brass Tower.

Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version:Once inside, you’ll engage in a battle with your rival. After the battle, go to the left side, smash the rocks in the way, and fall in the hole to the basement. You will soon see three Pokémon on a platform. Come closer, and they will disappear. Leave the tower now.

Crystal:You won’t find Morty in his gym right away, so you’ll have to go here. Walk through the floor, you have to beat your Rival first. He and Morty will be at the Burned Tower. After you do, Morty will return and you will meet Eusine, a man who dreams of getting a glimpse of a creature named Suicune.

Now, go to Morty’s gym.

Ecruteak City Pokémon Gym - Leader: Morty
Morty and his trainers use Pokémon of the ghost type. No normal or fighting type attacks can hurt Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. To prevent challengers from meeting him, Morty installed invisible floors on the gym. Also, "the path is right before our eyes." That means, that you must walk directly in front of a trainer to make it here.

On the map on the right, the pink steps are the ones you can safely step on.

image Morty - The Mystic Seer of the Future
L21 Gastly- Mean Look, Curse, Lick
L21 Haunter- Hypnosis, Night Shade, Curse, Mimic
L25 Gengar- Hypnosis, Shadow Ball, Mean Look, Dream Eater
L23 Haunter- Hypnosis, Shadow Ball, Mean Look, Night Shade
Although psychics like Abra and Drowzee are strong against ghosts, it’s best to use Pokémon of all types to defeat Morty. Remember, attacks of the normal or fighting type are harmless to Morty’s Pokémon. Bring along a few Awakening potions just in case.

imageUpon defeating Morty, you’ll receive the Fogbadge, which forces Pokémon up to L50 to obey you and allows you to use Surf outside of battle. You’ll also receive TM30 (Shadow Ball).

.

Now, leave Ecruteak City west to Route 38.

Route 38

Here you’ll find the Pokémon, Magnemite, and Snubbull. Very little to offer on this route.

This is a milk farm. The problem is that one of the Miltank, the cow Pokémon in this farm, "ain’t givin' me milk nomore." The sick Miltank can be found in the small house on the left, which is a barn.

Try feeding Moomoo the Miltank some Berries. (You’ll need to find the regular Berries, not the special berries like Ice Berry or Gold Berry.) If you feed it seven Berries (it doesn’t necessarily have to be in a row), it will get better.

Then talk to the woman in the other house, and she will give you TM 13 (Snore). Plus, you’ll now be able to buy milk from the farmer (for $500), which heals 100 HP.

Hidden Item: At the southwest side of the topmost Miltank in the Moomoo Farm (position is shown in the picture above), face down and press A to find a Nugget.

Go south to Olivine City.
