First hours

Opening guide: claim, first catches, Brock — then the next loop to Misty so you know what to do after badge one.

Contents

    Example HUD
    Your HUD. Left: party (selected Pokémon highlighted). Top-right: minimap + coordinates. Bottom: hotbar — keep balls, food, and your Brock map once crafted.

    First-hour checklist

    1. Press C → pick a starter. Grass is the safest into Brock.
    2. Place a bed and sleep once (respawn point).
    3. Claim now with FTB Chunks — press U (Claim Manager) or [ (map) — bed, chests, farm, waystone. Unclaimed = public loot.
    4. Activate any spawn waystone (right-click). Skim the hotbar guidebook.
    5. Catch 2–3 nearby Pokémon; keep balls and heals on your hotbar.
    6. Craft the Brock map: place Kanto Cartography Table → put Empty Map + Brock Map Key in it (do not open the Empty Map in the world) → follow the map. Full fight guide: Brock.
    7. Remember the level cap stays on until you beat the next gym — intentional on PokeHaven EU.
    8. Stuck? Screenshot + Discord #help, or keep reading this wiki.

    Important

    Dragging Bulbasaur to slot 1 is not enough if another Pokémon is still selected. Highlight it with the arrow keys, then R.

    Catching a wild Pokémon near spawn
    First catches. Spend the first session building a tiny team near spawn before you hike to Brock. Weakened wilds + a hotbar of balls beat wandering empty-handed.

    Done with hour one?

    • Yes: starter + 2–3 catches, food, bed, claim, stone tools, map on hotbar, a few crafted balls.
    • Not yet: mega base, Nether loot runs, legendary hunting, luxury shopping sprees.

    What's next after Brock

    1. Win Brock → badge → your level cap rises (check Trainer Card).
    2. Heal / restock at base. Keep your claim updated.
    3. Craft Misty’s map: REI → Cerulean Star (seagrass needs Shears) + fresh Empty Map in the Kanto Cartography Table. Do not open the Empty Map in the world first.
    4. Bring Electric/Grass coverage for Water. Cap while Misty is next is roughly the low–mid 30s — see Level cap.
    5. Follow the map, activate waystones on the road, beat Misty → then Lt. Surge.
