Version Note Summary

Granite Cave is where Ruby and Sapphire start to feel different. Ruby’s Mawile is a Steel type with useful resistances but uneven offense. Sapphire’s Sableye is immediately safer into Brawly because Ghost ignores Fighting.

Phase 2 Checklist

  • Recover the Devon Goods in Rusturf Tunnel.
  • Return to Devon Corporation for the Letter and PokeNav.
  • Use Mr. Briney's boat to reach Dewford Town.
  • Get the Old Rod from the Dewford fisherman.
  • Enter Granite Cave and collect HM05 Flash.
  • Train a Brawly answer to around Lv. 17-19.
  • Defeat Brawly and receive the Knuckle Badge.
  • Deliver Steven's Letter in Granite Cave and receive TM47 Steel Wing.
