Introduction
Pokémon Sacred Gold and Storm Silver are enhanced remakes of the classic Gold and Silver games. The games feature the same region as the original games, with some new features, Pokémon, and areas to explore. This guide will help you find and catch Pokémon in the Johto region.
Pokémon Locations
Here's a list of Pokémon locations in Pokémon Sacred Gold and Storm Silver:
Fishing & Surfing
- Old Rod – Magikarp, Goldeen, Barboach.
- Good Rod – Horsea, Remoraid, Feebas (Mt. Mortar pond, random tiles).
- Super Rod – Dratini (Dragon’s Den), Gyarados, Kingdra, Milotic (Feebas evolve).
- Surf – Tentacool, Wingull, Pelipper, Lapras (Union Cave lower floor Friday).
Key Changes to Location Mechanics
Before diving into the lists, understand how Drayano has altered the core rules of Johto:
- No More Trade Evolutions: Pokémon that once required trading (Haunter, Graveler, Machoke, etc.) now evolve via level-up or by using specific items found in the game world.
- Hoenn & Sinnoh Pokémon from the Start: You are no longer restricted to the Johto Dex until the post-game. Ralts, Shinx, Aron, and Bagon appear on early routes.
- Time-Based Availability is Relaxed: While some Pokémon still prefer night or day, the strict "route-locked" time gates have been opened significantly.
- Headbutt Trees are a Treasure Trove: Many rare Pokémon, including version pseudo-legendaries, are hidden in trees.
The One Drawback
Over-saturation in a few areas.
Some caves (Union Cave, Dark Cave) now host 10–12 different species. While exciting, this can make hunting a specific common Pokémon tedious because the encounter pool is so diluted. For example, finding a simple Geodude in early Dark Cave is harder because it shares space with Aron, Larvitar, and Nosepass.
