Back to the route step →WALKTHROUGH / CHAPTER 4
Recover the tool and prepare for Catsear Gym
Take the lower factory passage, help Bastion reopen the Gym and make a few useful changes to your team.
Glass Factory · Route 3 · Catsear City · Catsear Gym
Take the factory’s upper walkway
From Bastion, step east to the western staircase and climb north to its landing. Turn east, follow the path north and take the upper walkway east. At its far end, descend the central staircase. Wild encounters can interrupt the search, so keep your party ready and check where you are after each battle.
Descend the eastern stairs
From the bottom of the central stairs, follow the passage east, then turn north to the upper eastbound corridor. Continue east to the next staircase and go south all the way to the factory’s lower floor. Turn west along the bottom of the room until you are directly south of the tool.
Pass under the bridge and collect the tool
Approach the bridge from the lower floor to its south and walk north underneath it. Continue to the item ball near the large Pokemon and collect Flint & Steel. The game places it in the Key Items Pocket. Approaching from the upper walkway leaves you on the wrong floor.
Bring Flint & Steel back to Bastion
Retrace the lower corridor east and climb the eastern staircase. Return west through the central passage, climb the central stairs and follow the upper walkway west. Use the western stairs to return to Bastion near the entrance. Speak to him and finish the conversation. He takes the tool and asks you to meet him at the Gym in Catsear.
Return to Catsear and rest
Leave the factory, follow Route 3’s road back west and return to Catsear’s Pokemon Center. Rest at the nurse before changing your team or entering the Gym. After the tool was returned, the Gym door west of the Center opened normally in this run.
Consider the Minccino trade
Speak to the person south of the Pokemon Center on the city’s eastern side. Accept the offer and choose Minccino from your party. The trade replaces that Minccino with Shellos, nicknamed Shellie. A level-6 Minccino produced a level-6 Shellos in this run. A different selected Pokemon was refused, and a return visit after completion produced thanks instead of another offer.
Enter the Gym and speak to the guide
Enter the reopened Gym. Near the entrance, speak to the guide on the left and finish the advice. The guide gives one Fresh Water, which goes into the Medicine Pocket. This reward was received after returning Bastion’s tool; later repeat visits are not covered here.
Prepare for Cole’s challenge
Take the western stairs to the upper floor. Cole can spot you from across the room, so be ready before moving onto his row. Finish the battle and conversation before continuing. Shellie and Crackliss shared the battle in this run; return to the Pokemon Center if your team needs recovery. To leave the upper floor, approach the western stairs from their top landing before going down. Use the reveal below to see Cole’s tested team and prize.
Check your Pokemon’s new moves
After Cole’s battle, Shellie reached level 7 and Spinarak reached level 8. Spinarak learned Infestation by replacing Constrict in this run. Read the replacement prompt carefully and choose the move you want to forget; your team and experience totals may differ.
Try a forgotten move at the Pokemon Center
Return to the Move Relearner at the lower-left counter in Catsear’s Pokemon Center. Accept the offer, use left and right to choose a Pokemon, select an available move and confirm the lesson. In the tested visit, level-8 Spinarak replaced Infestation with Constrict, with no money or Bag items spent. Choose a replacement that suits your own team, then rest at the nurse before your next battle.
