Goldenrod City — The Hub of Johto
Goldenrod is the biggest city in the game and a one-stop shop. Hit these before the gym:
Eevee (free gift)
Bill (house by the Pokémon Center): Gives you a free Eevee. ★ Raise its happiness and level it in the day → Espeon (elite Special attacker) or at night → Umbreon (elite wall). Both are top-tier and need no stone.
Dept. Store: Five floors of items + a rooftop. Stock Super Potions, status heals, and TMs. Saturday has a discount sale.
Bike Shop: Free Bicycle — much faster overworld travel.
Underground Tunnel: Haircut brothers raise happiness (speeds Eevee/Crobat/Golbat evolutions). Daily.
Flower Shop: After the Plain Badge (and talking to Floria on Route 36), the florist gives the SquirtBottle for the Sudowoodo.
Game Corner & Radio Tower: Coins for prize TMs; grab the radio upgrade for your Pokégear (it pings the Snorlax flute later in Kanto).
Optimal call: Grab the Eevee first thing and decide day/night based on your team's hole — Espeon if you lack special offense, Umbreon if you want a wall. Map your final six in the Team Randomizer and check coverage in Team Analysis.
