Phase 2 Resources And Checklist
Team Recommendations
| Role | Best picks for Brawly | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Flying offense | Taillow, Wingull, Beautifly | Hits Fighting types super effectively |
| Psychic offense | Ralts, Abra | Strong special damage if trained |
| Safety wall | Sableye in Sapphire | Ghost typing ignores Fighting moves in Gen 3 |
| Long-term pickup | Makuhita | Helps later even if it mirrors Brawly here |
Must-Grab Items (Phase 2 Master List)
| Item | Location | Why You Want It |
|---|---|---|
| Devon Goods | Rusturf Tunnel event | Required story item |
| PokeNav | Devon president | Map and trainer functions |
| Letter | Devon president | Required for Steven delivery |
| Old Rod | Dewford fisherman | Unlocks early fishing encounters |
| HM05 Flash | Granite Cave hiker | Makes dark cave navigation easier after Brawly |
| TM47 Steel Wing | Steven in Granite Cave | Useful Flying coverage option |
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.
