This isn't just another lame Poké Mart. The Celadon Department Store sells all sorts of things that can't be purchased anywhere else! Talk to every clerk behind every counter to see their entire selection. You may even receive a free sample! | This isn't just another lame Poké Mart.

The 2nd floor sells not just the usual staples, but a variety of Technical Machines as well. Some of the exciting ones are '''TM07''' ('''Horn Drill''') which can be learned by any horned Pokémon (like Nidorans) and K.O.'s instantly if it hits. However, it only has 30% accuracy and the user needs to be faster than the target to work, but you can use a X Accuracy to help you. '''TM37''' ('''Egg Bomb''') which can be used by very few Pokémon, but is a powerful Normal-type attack. '''TM01''' and '''TM05''' are the very useful Normal attacks '''Mega Punch''' and '''Mega Kick''' which has above-average power but their accuracy is a little inaccurate (the kick is more powerful, but less accurate than the punch with an accuracy of 70%).

You can give this to your Jigglypuff, Clefairy, and anything else that lacks solid firepower; and '''TM09''' and '''TM17''' are Take Down (Normal attack) and Submission (Fighting attack), powerful attacks that do a portion of their damage back to the user. | ||

The Game Corner offers some hard-to-find Pokémon (and one exclusive one), but at high prices. You need to exchange coins for them, and outside of the few hundred that you can bum from other gamblers or find on the ground, you can only get them by buying them at the rate of 50 coins for [[File:Pokebuck.png]]1000, or winning them in slots. Or, you can march around the room pressing {{gb|A}}. Chances are, you'd get 10 coins at the very least. | The Game Corner offers some hard-to-find Pokémon (and one exclusive one), but at high prices.

The slots are tricky. The machines do differ, but they go in streaks, changing frequently, so the only way to win is to spend all day putting a few coins into each machine, seeing which ones are "streaking," paying 70% of the time, and hold onto that machine until it runs out (you can usually get 500 or so coins out of them). Other machines retain poor odds (1 in 10 or so) but have frequent high-paying Bars and | The slots are tricky.

You can redeem your coins next door for '''TM15 (Hyper Beam)''', '''TM23 (Dragon Rage)''' and '''TM50 (Substitute)''', as well some good Pokémon like {{bp|Dratini}}, but they're hardly worth the amount of time you'd have to spend on the slots to get them. Save up and buy the coins if you're trying to catch them all. | ||
Here is a helpful tip to earn coins. Bet 3 coins. Count as accurate as you can from 1. As soon as you hit 3, press A once. As soon as you hit 5, press A again. As soon as you hit 7, press A one more time. | Here is a helpful tip to earn coins. Bet 3 coins. Count as accurate as you can from 1. As soon as you hit 3, press A once.
