HM02 Fly is a very useful ability in the Pokémon games. It allows you to quickly move to any city or location that you have previously visited. This can save you a lot of time when you need to return to town while adventuring or visit an old location. Fly is hidden in Fire Red, and you'll need to use the Cut ability to get it.

    This is one of the largest cities in the game, and you'll be able to visit it after you defeat the leader of Vermillion Gym. In order to get to Celadon City, you'll need to take the underground path in Route 8 to bypass Saffron City, which is closed at the moment. [1]

    This route is normally blocked by a Snorlax until you get the Poke Flute.

    You'll see the tree as soon as you enter Route 16, before you reach the Snorlax.
    • If you don't have Cut, you can get it from the captain of the S.S. Anne, which is docked at Vermillion City. You'll need a ticket to get onboard, which you get by helping Bill. Cut is required to reach the Vermillion City Gym.

    Select a Pokémon from your party to teach Fly to. The Pokémon must be a Flying type, and will have the word "ABLE!" next to it. You can only teach Fly to a Pokémon that is currently in your party.
    • Fly will take up one of the Pokémon's move slots, so make sure you choose a Pokémon that has a move you don't need anymore.
    • In order to use Fly, you'll need to have that Pokémon with you. Try to teach Fly to a useful Pokémon that you'll have with you often.

    The Fly ability will allow you to quickly move to any city or town that you have already visited. A map will appear when you use Fly, and you can select from any of the towns or locations you've been to.
    • You cannot use Fly to visit places you have not yet reached on your journey.

    How do I see in a rock tunnel?
    Community Answer
    Use Flash (another HM move) on one of your Pokemon. If you have enough badges, you'll be able to use it outside battle, and it'll light up the tunnel for you.

    How do I get to the top of Pokemon mansion?
    Community Answer
    The quickest way to get in is to run straight into the mansion and take the first stairway up. Then, move to the northwest corner and take the stairs up to the third floor. Examine the statue you see to the right.
