How to Use Silph Scope

Automatically Reveals a Ghost's Identity

The Silph Scope automatically reveals any ghost's identity in the Pokemon Tower. This allows you to fight them in a fair Pokemon battle without the trainer being scared off.

If you don't have this available, the player will be forced to run away, preventing exploration and story progression.
