The gate to Epidimy Town

After crossing Route 11, you’ll find yourself in Epidimy Town.

You’ll also come here after helping Jax, but it’s better if you accomplish a few things here first in order to save time.

Exploring for Items

The first house has something important in it / Pokémon Unbound
The first house has something important in it

As soon as you enter town, go to the first house you see.

There are two people inside, and they both have something useful for you.

The Battle Girl wants to trade / Pokémon Unbound

The woman in here would like to trade a Hitmontop for a Lickitung, which can be caught on Route 5 relatively easily.

The Black Belt gives you another HM

The other person inside this house is another HM move keeper, and with no prompting at all he gives you HM04 Strength.

However, you can’t use it yet because you haven’t beaten the Fallshore Gym Leader.

Getting it now saves time because it means when you do finally beat him you can use Strength immediately.

Once you leave the house, go north and a woman wandering around will give you 3 Ultra Balls to help with Pokémon catching.

The Poke Mart is on the north side of town, right near an entrance to the KBT Expressway.

The female trainer in the house gives you the Rocky Helmet, which can be very useful if held by the right Pokémon.

You can’t go very far into the KBT Expressway because the way is blocked by a bunch of Strength boulders. However, there is a Gem Family vendor here for now.

Taking a break on the bench / Pokémon Unbound
Taking a break on the bench

Just east of the north cliff area is a Gentleman on a park bench; sitting down on the bench next to him will give you a random status healing item, such as an Awakening or a Parlyz Heal.

In the northeast part of town is the Pokémon Center, but the house in this area is where the Move Deleter lives.

The Move Deleter’s house / Pokémon Unbound
The Move Deleter’s house

Very useful NPC to know about if you’d like a Pokémon to forget a particular move.

Head south a little and you’ll see a couple of houses next to each other.

There are two houses side by side in the middle of town / Pokémon Unbound

First, go ahead and enter in the one on the left.

This old couple has something very valuable / Pokémon Unbound
This old couple has something very valuable

There’s a couple of old people living here, and they have one very important item – the Master Ball.

However, they will not give it to you unless you show them the Pokémon Hoopa.

Tip: Hoopa is not available to you until much later, but it is the Pokémon that has been throwing you through portals all this time.

A fisherman lives in the house next to them, and if you’ve got the Old Rod then he gives you the Good Rod!

This fisherman has an upgrade / Pokémon Unbound

Now you can catch far more than just Magikarp.

Speaking to the old man wandering nearby will give you a mission to find an empty house for him.

You can’t complete this just now, but you will be able to in due course.

The house in the southeast corner / Pokémon Unbound

Just south of him is the final house with something interesting inside it – head on in.

You can come back every day / Pokémon Unbound
You can come back every day

The woman in the house gives you 3 Max Repels, and if you come back every day she’ll give you three more.

Very useful for all the travel you’ve been doing.

The entrance to Thundercap Mountain, at last / Pokémon Unbound
The entrance to Thundercap Mountain, at last

At the very southeast corner of town is the entrance to Thundercap Mountain and the lair of Zapdos.

Remember this for later, because you will need to come back here after helping Jax.

Leaving Town

Now that you’ve gotten everything useful from Epidimy Town, head back west along Route 11, through Fallshore City and out of the west entrance to Route 10.

Route 10 begins here / Pokémon Unbound
Route 10 begins here

When you exit Fallshore City to the west, the rain continues but the season has changed.

There is a large group of Terror Granbull goons to the south, so go ahead and confront them.

The policeman intervenes / Pokémon Unbound

Just when it looks like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, the policeman who gave you the mission steps in and tries to arrest the group of goons.

However, they take the opportunity to run away.

You’ll have to track them down in order to finish the mission.

Once they’re gone, go west along the bridge and you’ll find yourself in Route 10 proper.

Head west / Pokémon Unbound
Head west

Keep going along the path.

Camper Chris / Pokémon Unbound

Camper Chris is waiting to challenge you; after you beat him you can continue along the path.

You’ll eventually come to a river with some stones in it.

Cross the stones / Pokémon Unbound

You can jump across the stones to the other side no problem.

Once you’re there, walk north, and you’ll transition into a small part of the neighboring route, Auburn Waterway.

The first Goon is here / Pokémon Unbound
The first Goon is here

On the very tip of this little peninsula is the first Terror Granbull Goon you have to defeat.

As soon as you do, the policeman shows up to take him away to jail.

You’ll run into Hiker Dudley along the way.

You’ll be turned around to the west, to cross another bridge.

After defeating the two trainers in this corner of the route, you’ve got two choices: north or south.

South leads to Tehl Town and Route 9 to help Jax.

North, however, leads to the other Terror Granbull Goons you need to capture. So it’s important you head in that direction first.

Walking north will again put you in Auburn Waterway, with a slightly different set of Pokémon to catch.

Follow the tree line until you see a path through them to the west.

This area may look confusing but it’s actually just one long path / Pokémon Unbound

The following area is part of Auburn Waterway and Route 9, but doesn’t actually connect to the major part of either of them. So it is its own little self-contained section.

Follow the only route you can, west and then south, until you see two small trees that need to be cut down.

When you move past them, you’ll be notified that you’re in Route 9.

Keep going west and then north until you see the opportunity to jump off a ledge to the east.

When you do, you’ll see the next Goon you need to capture just to the north.

The policeman will show up just like last time to take him to jail.

After that’s done, jump one ledge to the east and head through the long grass to the north.

The curvy fork in the road / Pokémon Unbound

This fork leads straight to the next Goon to defeat, and the policeman will come and collect him as well.

Just one more to find in this area.

Go back south, ignoring the other forks (unless you want a couple of extra items), until you get to the west-east corridor with the ledges you came from.

More ledge jumping / Pokémon Unbound
More ledge jumping

Jump two ledges to the east until you see a north-south corridor through the trees.

Follow the long grass north and then east and you’ll see the final Goon.

The policeman will show up one last time after you’ve beaten the Goon to tell you to meet him back on Route 10, where you first broke up the gang.

Onwards to Tehl Town

After that mission is completed, you’re free to head back west and take the southern fork to Tehl Town.

There’s a hidden entrance to Route 9 in Tehl Town, and it’s your job to find it.
