Defeat Mike to receive P868 and 3 Poke Balls. The final Trainer is the leader of the Fighting Dojo, Karate Master Koichi. Defeat his Poliwrath to receive a rare fighting Pokemon. Poliwrath is both water and fighting, making it weak to electric, flying, grass, and psychic-type attacks. Do not use Pokemon with weak defenses, and definitely do not use ground, rock, or normal-type Pokemon.

Defeat Koichi to receive P952. You can now pick between Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. Hitmonlee is the Pokemon with higher attack between the two, but it can only learn fighting-type attacks. Hitmonchan has slightly higher defense compared to Hitmonlee, but it can learn various elemental punches. Like all gift Pokemon, the stats will be high but the nature will be completely random. It’s best to save before choosing.

With the Fighting Dojo cleared, continue to the story at Pokemon Tower, followed by Silph Co, and finishing with the Saffron City Gym.
