Route the spinner maze and earn the final badge. Exact HGSS encounters, trainers, items, puzzle route, version differences, and completion checks.
Route the spinner maze and earn the final badge. This combined guide never substitutes original Gold/Silver or Crystal data for the Nintendo DS remakes.
Source maps
Viridian Gym.
Version scope
HeartGold and SoulSilver are labeled per row. Event-only and external-device content is never presented as normal retail progression.
Route Plan
Return after speaking to Blue on Cinnabar, use the colored spinner lanes to reach every trainer, then face Blue's balanced six-Pokémon team with broad coverage rather than one type counter.
Wild Pokémon
No random encounter bank is assigned to these source maps. Static, gift, Safari, Contest, or event records appear separately when applicable.
Trainers
Teams are the exact source party records. Moves and held items appear only when the trainer format defines them. Reward = last party member level × 4 × trainer-class multiplier; double battles double the base payout where the engine applies it.
