Before You Pick

Protect the ExtremeSpeed reward

A wrong quiz answer does not block the badge, but it changes the later Dratini reward. Correct first-pass answers give Wrap, Thunder Wave, Twister, and ExtremeSpeed. A missed answer gives the normal level 15 moveset: Wrap, Leer, Thunder Wave, and Twister.

Badge Route

From Clair to Dratini

1 Defeat Clair in Blackthorn Gym. She sends you behind the Gym to Dragon's Den instead of handing over the badge immediately.
2 Bring Surf and Whirlpool, cross Dragon's Den B1F, and enter Dragon Shrine. Save before starting the elder's quiz.
3 Pick Pal, Raising, Anybody, Love, Both. Clair appears, admits defeat, and gives Rising Badge.
4 Leave the shrine route so Clair catches you in Dragon's Den B1F and gives TM24 DragonBreath.
5 Make sure your party has five or fewer Pokemon, then return to the elder for Dratini.
