Alder Town

An idyllic Sea Town with a lot of old War partizipants. There's an old couple with four orphans and an old captain from one of the biggest warships of Godra. When you first arrive here, the Gym Leader Ilsa is in Rantipole due to the problem with the War Party Hideout and you can't challenge her.

Route 7 leads from Violet City to Alder Town. From here Route 9 continues on to Rantipole.

As of Version 1.7 solving the Problem with the War Party near Rantipole requires much higher leveled Pokémon then beating the 5th and 6th Gym, so for now just continue north, training your Pokémon, maybe catch some new ones and build a good team. (Route 11 and Route 13 actually have Pokémon worth fighting)

Gym
Type - Psychic

Battles

Strategy - Though a psychic gym, the huge versatility of Ilsas Pokémon and their attack makes a mix of different Pokémon useful. For a Start the Exeggutor is very weak against Bug type attacks. Against Bronzongs Toxic attack a steel type is useful. I recommend a Pokémon knowing a strong elekrotype attack against the Starmie (that does not know a psychictype move, but water, ice and electro attacks). The Alkazam is obviously no match for a dark Pokémon. All the additional trainers in this gym are optional. Fight them to get more training or leave them be.

In addition this gym features a kind of maze: All the rooms are only connected via teleportation tiles. Activate the teleport by pressing "Action" (Enter). If you get lost check the following table to know which tiles connect to which.

The first column has the tile your starting from, the second the one you will be teleported to. The shortest ways to get to Ilsa are starting on tile D, press "Action" twice or start on tile A and press "Action" twice.

Reward - Foresight badge and TM29 Psychic. In remastered she gives you TM03 Psyshock instead.
