Phase 6 Resources And Checklist
Team Recommendations
Must-Grab Items
| Item | Location | Why |
|---|---|---|
| HM04 Strength | Sailor, Olivine port | Boulder puzzles + a decent Normal move. |
| Tyrogue | Mt. Mortar (Black Belt) | Free Fighting-type. |
| Cave items | Mt. Mortar | TMs, Max Potion, rare candies. |
| TM23 Iron TailSteel | Jasmine (gym reward) | Steel coverage move. |
Time / Day Window
No hard time gates this phase. The S.S. Aqua ferry from Olivine to Kanto runs only in the postgame (you need the S.S. Ticket). Roaming Raikou/Entei can still pop up as you around — keep a Fast Ball ready.
Legendary Note
No new legendary trigger here. Suicune's catchable Tin Tower encounter is now one phase away — it unlocks once you beat Pryce and clear the Goldenrod Radio Tower (Phase 7) to receive the Clear Bell. Keep Raikou/Entei alive when they roam. See the Legendary Reference.
HM Update
Unlocked this phase: HM04 Strength (Olivine port). Now you can move boulders — needed to fully explore Mt. Mortar and several later caves. Coverage: FlashNormal + Cut + SurfWater + + Strength. Still missing WhirlpoolWater (comes next phase from Lance after the Mahogany raid) and WaterfallWater (Ice Path, Phase 8).
Phase 6 Checklist
- Cured Amphy with the SecretPotion to open the gym.
- Picked up HM04 Strength at the Olivine port.
- (Optional) Cleared Mt. Mortar for Tyrogue and items.
- Beat Jasmine with Ground/Fire/Fighting → Mineral Badge + TM23 Iron TailSteel.
