In Pokemon Fire Red, players can make use of Running Shoes to travel a lot faster compared to standard walking speed. This is possible by equipping Running Shoes. With these shoes equipped, it is possible to run faster on routes and in small grass.
So, where to get Running Shoes in Pokemon Fire Red? Well, these shoes can be obtained on the route that goes towards Mt.Moon after you have defeated the Gym Leader of Pewter City.
There will be Professor Oak’s team waiting for you, Running Shoes can be claimed just by interacting with them.
Step by Step Location
Running Shoes are great for moving around quickly, but they cannot be used in long grass and deep snow. Apart from that, they are perfectly usable on any other ground.
So, to obtain these shoes you must beat Brock who is the Gym Leader in Pewter City. Here are the steps to help you out.
- Head to the Gym of Pewter City.
- The Gym Leader will be Brock, you must defeat him and obtain the badge.
- Now, make your way toward Mt.Moon, here you will meet Professor Oak’s assistants near to Route 3.
- Simply just interact with him and he will give you the Running Shoes.
Defeating Brock is an essential thing to do before you head towards Route 3 because if you don’t do that, Professor Oak’s Aide won’t appear near Mt.Moon.
Defeating Brock
To easily beat Brock the Gym Leader of Pewter City, you should focus on bringing in Pokemon with grass, ground, water, or steel-type moves. Since Brock has Rock Type Pokemon they are weak against the moves we have listed.
Brock only has 2 Pokemon and those are Level 12 Geodude and Level 14 Onix. None of them are holding any items. Geodude is pretty easy to defeat, whereas Onix is a bit harder since it has an additional Rock Type move which is Rock Tomb, this one is super effective.
So, you should really work on the Pokemon that are strong against Rock Type moves.
Using Running Shoes
After you have obtained Running Shoes they will be moved in your bag. Simply just select the shoes and equip them. Now, all you need to do is press the action button when running.
Pressing and holding the action button will make you run faster. Releasing the button will reduce the running speed to standard.
Usage of Running Shoes does not save you from wild Pokemon in grass. They will appear the way they used to jump out when you go through the grass without Running Shoes.
Moreover, some trainers that you encounter in your way will turn on your side because of your Running Shoes. So, you cannot avoid trainers when these shoes are equipped.
Although Running Shoes significantly increase the speed, they are still slower than the bicycle. A bicycle goes much faster than Running Shoes and it also takes you through the snow and tall grass.
Additionally, it can be used in caves and all other similar places. This is a better alternative to running shoes, but you have to go a long way to get a bicycle.
Also, if you are interested in getting the Coin Case then our guide will help you out in obtaining it.
