Phase 7 Resources And Checklist
Team Recommendations
Must-Grab Items
| Item | Location | Why |
|---|---|---|
| HM06 WhirlpoolWater | Lance, after the Mahogany HQ | Opens whirlpool tiles (Whirl Islands, Kanto routes). |
| Clear Bell | Radio Tower director | Unlocks Suicune at the Tin Tower. |
| Red Scale | Lake of RageNormal fisherman | Trade in Blackthorn for a reward. |
| HQ / Radio Tower items | Both dungeons | TMs, Protein, Ultra Balls, etc. |
| TM16 Icy WindIce | Pryce (gym reward) | Ice coverage + Speed drop. |
Time / Day Window
| Window | What it gates |
|---|---|
| Story order | Pryce's gym only opens after the Mahogany Rocket HQ is cleared. |
| Story order | Suicune's Tin Tower catch needs the Clear Bell — i.e., beat Pryce and clear the Radio Tower first. |
| Any time | Raikou/Entei still roam — a great moment to finally corner one with a Fast Ball. |
Legendary Note
Phase 7 is the Suicune payoff. After Pryce + the Radio Tower you get the Clear Bell, beat the Wise Trio at the Tin Tower, and catch Suicune (Lv 40) in the foyer — its one and only chance, so save first. The roaming Raikou and Entei are still out there to mop up whenever you like. Ho-Oh is not available yet: its Rainbow Wing comes from Eusine in Celadon only after all three beasts are caught (Phase 11). See the Legendary Reference.
HM Update
Unlocked this phase: HM06 WhirlpoolWater (from Lance after the Mahogany HQ), usable with the Glacier Badge. It opens whirlpool tiles — needed for the Whirl Islands (Lugia) and several Kanto water routes. Coverage: FlashNormal + Cut + SurfWater + + Strength + WhirlpoolWater. Only WaterfallWater (HM07) remains, in the Ice Path next phase.
