Clear both Bird Keepers and counter Roost. This combined guide never substitutes original Gold/Silver or Crystal data for the Nintendo DS remakes.

Encounter rows0Trainer rows3Visible / hidden / trees0 / 0 / 0

Version scope

HeartGold and SoulSilver are labeled per row. Event-only and external-device content is never presented as normal retail progression.

Route Plan

Take the side platforms for both optional Gym Trainers, heal, then pressure Pidgeotto before Roost can erase Flying weaknesses for the turn.

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.
