Pokémon Heartfelt Gold’s trainer guide lists 23 headline fights: 16 gym leaders (including Blue), Will, Koga, Bruno, Karen, champion Lance, Red, and Giovanni. Parties below include level, held item, and moves. “Specialty” is my reading of the party’s types, not an official label.

How to read the levels

Falkner’s party is level 14. Red’s is 98–100. Rematches for Johto leaders sit around 70–75. Elite Four and champion rematches sit around 88–95.

Kanto has a quirk the guide does not explain: Brock’s first party is 76–78 and the rematch is 70–75. Blaine’s first party is 81–85 and the rematch is 78–80. Blue’s first party is 84–85 and the rematch is 74–75. I am printing both ranges.

A second set of first-battle parties exists at trainer ids 738–758, about two levels higher (Falkner 14–16, Bugsy 22–24, Whitney 27–29). The guide does not say what turns that set on. I am not calling it a difficulty mode.

Giovanni is placed in Tohjo Falls Hidden Room. The guide does not say when you can enter. The town order for the eight Johto badges is on the walkthrough.

Questions people ask

Why is a rematch a lower level?

That is how the trainer guide lists Brock, Blaine, and Blue. There is no explanation in the file.

Is there a hard mode?

A second party exists. The switch that enables it is not documented.

Where is Falkner’s moveset?

In the Falkner section above, taken from the trainer guide.
