Route 28 and the Mt. Silver Gate

After all 16 badges and Oak's blessing in Pallet, reach Route 28 beyond Victory Road (SurfWater + WaterfallWater to get there). The gatehouse opens to Mt. Silver — the toughest area in the game. There's a Pokémon Center at the foot of the mountain; treat it as your base.

Heads up: Mt. Silver is a long, item-rich cave that needs FlashNormal, SurfWater, Strength, and WaterfallWater to fully traverse. Wild levels here are Lv 40+, and there's no healing once you start climbing toward Red — stock heavily.
