Pokémon Let's Go Fuchsia City, Warden's Teeth and Koga Gym Battle - available Pokémon, items and trainers

Fuchsia City and the Koga Gym battle (plus finding the Warden's Teeth) are your next major objectives in your quest through Pokémon Let's Go's main story, after you've defeated Giovanni at Silph Co. and headed south via either Route 18 or Route 15.

Below, we'll cover any and all of the obtainable Pokémon, item locations, trainers and their squads that you might encounter in the area, as well as walking you through any key steps of the story along the way.

We've also opted to break out walkthrough pages down into sections, referring to each of your visits to a given location, seeing as you often backtrack or revisit various places in your quest to become Champion! Where applicable, we'll split our page into one section for each visit, and of course if there are any, clearly mark any spoilers, too!

Pokémon Let's Go: Fuchia City and the Warden's Teeth

At last, another major city! If you've worked your way through both the eastern path of Route 12, Route 13, Route 14 and Route 15 or the western way of getting here through Route 16, Route 17 and Route 18, you're probably crying out for a bit of civilisation - we are, even after just listing all those routes!

Interestingly, you can actually do pretty much anything in town here, including challenge Koga at Fuchsia City Gym, as soon as you get the Poké Flute to wake up the Snorlax that block to two routes south that lead you here. If you haven't already though, we do suggest you tackle Team Rocket at Silph Co. first. After that, it's your choice for what you want to take on first out of Fuchsia City and Saffron City Gyms. Personally, we tackled Silph Co., then did some levelling on the routes towards Fuchsia City, then took on Sabrina at Saffron City Gym, then tackled Koga here - but it's up to you!

Here in Fuchsia City itself there are plenty of things to do. As you'd expect there's a trader in the Pokémon Center, this time a Gentleman who will trade you an Alolan Marowak for your regular one. There's also another move tutor with him, who'll teach your partner Pokémon even more moves now (Sappy Seed, Freezy Frost and Sparkly Swirl, which are Grass, Ice and Fairy-Type moves, for Eevee in our case).

Otherwise there's another very important thing to do here: acquire not one, but two Secret Techniques, Sea Skim and Strong Push, the Let's Go equivalent of Suft and Strength respectively.

Getting Sea Skim is dead simple - simply talk to the man next to the Lapras in the pool of water in Fuchsia City and listen to his story to be taught Sea Skim - this will let you surf on water, opening up entire new parts of the world!

Strong Push is slightly more complex. You need to talk to the Safari Zone Warden in his house, in the bottom right part of town. He'll say something pretty hard to understand, because he's lost his teeth! He lost them somewhere on Route 19, which is just south out of town.

Head there and you'll find Jessie and James of Team Rocket once again getting up to no good. Hapless as they are, they'll dig up the gold teeth thinking they're something valuable, only to realise how gross they are and give them to you instead! That was easy then, just take them back to the Warden in his house and he'll reward you with the Safari outfit and the Strong Push ability.

While you're there, shove that boulder in his house to the side to find a little Diglett, who gives you a Nugget. How kind!

The last thing to know about Fuchsia City - aside from how to crack it's Gym, which we explain below - is that there's no longer a Safari Zone here in the proper sense. Instead, there's the little area where Pokémon (that you can't catch) roam around near the top of town, and Go Park, which is where you transfer Pokémon to from Pokémon Go. We explain that in detail in our Pokémon Go to Pokémon Let's Go transfer steps guide!

Pokémon Let's Go: Fuchsia City Koga Gym solution and battle

The Fuchsia City Gym is one of the tricker ones to get through, thanks to a rather crafty puzzle: it's full of invisible walls.

Thankfully, the way of solving it actually isn't too difficult once you know what to do. Every few seconds, a puff of smoke will appear that feintly highlights where the walls of the maze are, allowing you to spot the gaps for where to go next. If you're finding it a bit tough to work through yourself though, here's how to get to every trainer and Koga himself, step by step:

Fuchsia City gym solution

1. Head right first, to fight the Tamer Phil.
2. Then head up past him to fight Ace Trainer Kayden.
3. Then head left along the top wall, and down from the top left corner to Juggler Kirk.
4. Go down from Juggler Kirk to Juggler Harry.
5. Go left from Juggler Harry to the left hand wall, then snake down to the bottom left corner, where you can battle Tamer Edgar, or go straight to Ace Trainer Annie, diagonally up and right.
6. Either way, after Ace Trainer Annie you need to go down on the left hand side of Koga's platform, past Tamer Edgar, until you're in front of Koga and can finally battle him!
