POKEMON GOLD AND SILVER WALKTHROUGH
Routes 26 and 27
On exiting the Dragon's Den, Prof Elm will congratulate you by phone and ask you to drop by his lab. But now that you have all seven HMs, you'll be able to go anywhere you want in Johto. Check out Mt Mortar, Whirl Islands, Dark Cave and Union Cave if you haven't already done so. Most importantly, return to Prof Elm in New Bark Town, and he'll give you a Master Ball, which has a 100% capture rate. You should explore routes 45 and 46 to pick up some items and experience rather than Fly.
You're now ready to take on the Elite Four challenge. Equip yourself for a long journey, and take along a Pokemon that knows Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool and Strength (Water Pokemon like Gyarados or Azumarill can have all four). Surf east of New Bark Town, and you've officially crossed the border between Johto and Kanto.
Once you've hit land, go east a bit then Surf on the body of water to the south to get a Rare Candy. Now enter the cave. To the left of the waterfall is a very valuable Moon Stone. The lady in the house outside will give you TM37 - Sandstorm if your Pokemon trust you very much. The path from here is quite easy, simply head east as far as you can, then north. Near where the bridge starts to go north, surf southwest to find a Whirlpool where you can pick up an item ball containing TM22 - Solarbeam, the most powerful Grass-type move.
You'll eventually come across a needed rest house. Your Pokemon should be around lv50 here, and it's a good place to train if they aren't. To the west of this house, you'll find the home of the Once-A-Week Siblings, where Monica has written a note telling you the whereabouts of each sibling. Useful, but you should have met them all if you've followed this walkthrough. Continue north until you reach a large building, grabbing a Max Elixir along the way.
Victory Road
Head straight for the double doors at the end of the hallway and you'll enter a cave... just like RBY, it's Victory Road minus the switches. If you look carefully, you can see some similiarities in layout. On entering, check the lone rock to the left for a Full Heal, and head up the platform. At the fork, going right takes you to another Full Heal and a Max Revive. Left takes you to the next level.
Follow the platform around and grab the X Special before continuing east then north to the ladder. In this new level, you can follow the platform right round and drop down the ladder to get a Full Restore, or you can head around and go all the way west to find a hole in the floor. Drop down to get TM26 - Earthquake (and a hidden Max Potion). But whatever the case, the exit is just to the north, but be careful, your rival will appear and challenge you to another battle. He'll have rather weak Pokemon, so the battle should just be very routine. He has a lv34 Sneasel, a lv35 Kadabra, a lv36 Golbat, a lv35 Magneton, a lv35 Haunter and a lv38 fully evolved starter. Head through the cave exit, and through the double doors of the Indigo Plateau.
Indigo Plateau
It's time for the toughest battles at the Indigo Plateau. You will face 5 of the best trainers in the game one after the other. While you have time to save and use items, you won't be able to go to a Pokemon Center. Should you lose, you'll start from the first trainer. Some handy tips to avoid whitewash: Have your Pokemon at bare minimum, level 50. Deposit all your money with Mom so that you won't lose any if you faint. Stock up on Full Restores, Revives and Full Heals. If you're having trouble, train some more at Victory Road. Finally, if you have to return to New Bark Town, or any other town for that matter, the guy on the left wall will Teleport you back. Are you ready? Head up the stairs at the far right. To make it easy on yourself, you should have a Dark type, a Psychic type, an Ice type (Or a Water type with Ice moves) and a Fighting type. Round your team off with good elemental moves like Surf, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam and Flamethrower.
The Elite Four
And congratulations! You've beaten the Elite Four, and after some pleasantries, Lance will take you to the back room where your Pokemon will go down in the records forever. But the game isn't over yet... after the credits roll, choose to continue your game, and you'll be able to go on a whole new adventure.
