Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Team Rocket Headquarters Walkthrough
Glacier Badge Disable Persian statues, learn passwords, defeat Petrel and Ariana, and stop the generator. Exact HGSS encounters, trainers, items, puzzle route, version differences, and completion checks.
Disable Persian statues, learn passwords, defeat Petrel and Ariana, and stop the generator. This combined guide never substitutes original Gold/Silver or Crystal data for the Nintendo DS remakes.
Source maps
Team Rocket Headquarters B1F, Team Rocket Headquarters B2F, Team Rocket Headquarters B3F.
Version scope
HeartGold and SoulSilver are labeled per row. Event-only and external-device content is never presented as normal retail progression.
Route Plan
Use the computer to disable the statue alarms after clearing their grunts, collect every B1F-B3F item, hear both passwords, follow Murkrow to the door, beat Petrel, partner with Lance against Ariana, then defeat all six Electrode.
Wild Pokémon
No random encounter bank is assigned to these source maps. Static, gift, Safari, Contest, or event records appear separately when applicable.
Static, gift, trade, and event Pokémon
| Pokémon | Method | Level | Requirement / note |
|---|---|---|---|
 Electrode | Static encounter | Lv. 23 | Source-scripted encounter or gift; save or make party space before resolving it. |
| Electrode | Static encounter | Lv. 23 | Three on the player's side of the generator; each is a separate catch opportunity. |
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.
