I know about the item guide, like I said it's not helpful on knowing when they are available.
For example:
Fire Stone:
Pyrous Mountain B2F in the Heatmor island (visible)
Route 2 hidden on a rock in the green patch above the last Crustle hole before the Celestine Cascade and Amaria's home (you go through it to drop the Crustle in the hole below)
Cool and all but I just started playing, just beat Shade and entering the factory which is poluting the lake and I got no idea if these locations are going to be really far away in the story or not. Thing is that I really don't want to level up the Murkrow because Honchkrow gets Nasty plot at level 35.
Same thing with Arcanine, at level 34 Growlithe gets flamethrower and Arcanine gets Extreme Speed, if I overlevel the Growlithe then I can't get Extreme Speed anymore.
Or maybe you guys know a way to just get this ability back? For example leveling my Growlithe to 45 and then evolving it and then use some way to still give it Extreme Speed? If that is possible I would love to know how.
Edit: Wauw you guys really are fast at replying so the only question remains: If I evolve Growlithe at 45 can I still give it Extreme Speed?
