Canalave City Tips and Strategies

Forget a Move With the Move Deleter

Canalave City is home to the Move Deleter. You can talk to the old man inside the house between the Poke Mart and Poke Center to delete some of you Pokemon's moves.

Go to Iron Island

You can go to Iron Island upon arriving at Canalave City. Simply talk to the sailor at the dock to go there.

Although going there isn't necessary to progress the story, it is still a good idea to go there to get a Riolu egg and a few important items like a Shiny Stone.

Go to Fullmoon Island After Becoming the Champion

After becoming the champion, you can go back to Canalave City to go to Fullmoon Island. Talk to the sailor at the dock and he will tell you about his son who has been having nightmares. He will then ask you to go to Fullmoon Island to get the Lunar Feather.

After getting the Lunar Feather, go back to Canalave City and give the item to the sailor's kid to rid him of his nightmares. You can find him inside the house nearest to the dock.
