How the walkthroughs work
- 01
Chapters end at a gym. Each chapter covers the stops between two badges, with the leader, their type and ace level up front.
- 02
Open a stop for the detail. Each stop lists what you fight, what you get, the new Pokemon and what you need, and links to its location page.
- 03
Postgame comes last. Everything after the Hall of Fame sits in its own chapter, so the story route stays short.
