Strength and the Port

Before the gym, pick up HM04 Strength from the sailor in Olivine's port/café area — the Plain Badge already lets you use it, so you can now shove boulders (handy in Mt. Mortar and later caves). Olivine's harbor is also where the S.S. Aqua ferry to Kanto departs, but that's a postgame trip.

Optimal call: Slap Strength on the same body carrying SurfWater/Cut so your attackers keep their move slots. With SurfWater + Strength in hand you can now fully clear Mt. Mortar for a free Tyrogue.
