Open-water exploration and high-tier moveset upgrades unfold in Part 18 of our Pokémon FireRed playthrough on Nintendo Switch 2! Armed with HM03 Surf, we are diving into the ocean routes south of Fuchsia City to battle Swimmers, power-level Pikachu to Level 40, unlock Ice Beam on Lapras, and chart our course toward Seafoam Islands!
🌊 Surfing Route 19: Deploying Lapras to traverse Kanto's southern waterways and sweeping coastal Swimmers.
⚡ Pikachu Milestone: Dominating water-type trainer teams to power up Pikachu all the way to Level 40!
🌙 Move Upgrade: Upgrading Gloom's recovery kit by replacing Acid with Moonlight.
❄️ MAJOR MOVE UNLOCK: Leveling Lapras to replace Confuse Ray with the legendary Ice-type move Ice Beam!
🏝️ Seafoam Islands Approach: Reaching the entrance of the subterranean Seafoam Islands cavern.
🚲 The Great Kanto Backtrack: Cycling across Routes 18, 6, and Saffron City to reach the Celadon Department Store for a massive supplies run!
Let us know if you teach Ice Beam to Lapras or Blastoise!
