Kanto walkthrough — 34. Cerulean Cave

Walkthrough

Surf along the river at the west edge of Cerulean City. After the Hall of Fame, the guard who blocked the cave entrance is gone.

Differs from the mainline games

In FireRed the guard only leaves after an errand on the Sevii Islands. Those islands are not in the game, so in pkmn he leaves when you enter the Hall of Fame.

Cerulean Cave has the strongest wild Pokémon in Kanto, including Ditto, Kadabra, Golbat and Magneton.

Mewtwo waits in the deepest room at level 70. Save before the battle. This is a good place to use the Master Ball if you still have it.
