Enter this house and then go through the door at the back to access the backyard. Rare Candy: To the northwest of the city is a house containing a man who will talk about the Kanto Gym Badges. There is a hidden Great Ball in the middle of the plateau. Moon from the eastern side, head east slightly to find a plateau. In the wall at the end of this opening, you'll find a Moon Stone. Moon Stone: From the fossils near the end of the cave, head down slightly to find a narrow opening to the right.
Just to the right of the platform is an isolated rock that will yield an Ether if inspected. MoonĮther: Go down the second ladder you come to after entering the mountain you'll eventually reach a room with a Team Rocket Grunt and a platform with TM01. Check the tile right in front of him for a Potion. Potion: Just before the northern exit of Viridian Forest, you'll come across one last Bug Catcher. There is an Antidote hidden in the lower-left section of the large tree. Viridian ForestĪntidote: As you are entering the forest from the south, you'll see a large tree in the middle of the path next to a Bug Catcher. If you have not made enough progress to get past the old man, this item can be obtained by entering the narrow passage just above the western exit of Viridian City, which places you on the other side of the bush. Potion: As you are heading north out of the city, check the Cuttable bush just to the left of the exit for a Potion. Therefore, don't feel obliged to follow the order of this guide exactly if you prefer to do things in a different order to what is presented here. This means that some items listed further down in this guide might be obtained before items listed above them, depending on what order you prefer to complete each task. As anyone who has played the 1st generation games will tell you, the games tend to become less linear as you progress, especially compared to the later generations. Note that the items are listed in a rough order based on when players can access them. Once the Itemfinder does its work, you'll have to search for the exact location of the item yourself. The RBY Itemfinder is not able to pinpoint hidden items however, it will make a sound if there is a hidden item on the screen somewhere. If you have caught 30 Pokemon, he'll give you the Itemfinder as a reward. To get the Itemfinder, head over to the gate east of Vermilion City and talk to Professor Oak's aide upstairs. The Itemfinder can even be used to confirm that you have already collected an item if you begin using this guide partway through the game. If you are following this guide, then you probably won't need to use the Itemfinder to find the majority of the items, but it can still be helpful for certain areas, such as the Underground Paths and the Cycling Road, where the items tend to lack clear reference points for pinpointing them. The Itemfinder is a key item that allows you to detect nearby hidden items. This guide will show you where you can find every hidden item in Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. These items will often get overlooked unless you either have prior knowledge of the item or just happen to use an item-locating device in the right location. It isn't always this easy, however, as there are many items that are hidden from view. In most cases, collecting an item is as simple as finding it on the ground and picking it up. Collecting items is a fundamental part of playing Pokemon.
