Fighting Dojos (Saffron and Fuchsia)

Kanto’s Fighting Dojo has split in two. The pupils who stayed in Saffron City learned to unlock Hidden Power, while the group that left for Fuchsia City sticks to pure Fighting-type training.

The inside of the Saffron Fighting Dojo with the master at the back and four apprentices.
The Saffron dojo's apprentices give Hidden Power Shards; the Dojo Master uses them.
  1. Pick a type. Talk to one of the four apprentices (Apprentice #1, Apprentice #2, Apprentice #3, Apprentice #4). Before the battle you choose which type of shard you want.

  2. Win the battle. Beat their six level 100 Pokémon to receive a Hidden Power Shard of that type, for example a Hidden Power Shard (Fire).

The four types on offer change from week to week, rotating through these sets. The change follows the calendar week (Monday, UTC, and sometimes the 1st of the month), not the Wednesday reset. Check which types are offered before you battle:

Set Types
1 Fire, Grass, Electric, Fighting
2 Water, Rock, Ground, Psychic
3 Dragon, Ice, Poison, Ghost
4 Flying, Steel, Bug, Dark

The Dojo Master uses a shard to change the type of a Pokémon’s Hidden Power to the shard’s type. The shard is used up.

  • The Pokémon must already know Hidden Power and be in your party.
  • You can get TM500 Hidden Power from the Daycare Token Shop, and one lies on the ground in Cerulean Cave 2F.

Disciple Hiro Electrode Weavile Hawlucha Gallade Iron Valiant Medicham
