So you want to know how to get through the lakes and Snowpoint Gym? Well I will cover that
here anyways.

After Canalave City, go to Lake Acuity. Battle Galactic Saturn inside the cave. After that
head to Lake Verity, by Twinleaf. Beat a few of the grunts and battle Galactic Mars. Rowan
will tell you to head toward the lake by Snowpoint. Take the cave route by Celestic Town
and head north. After fighting through some of the trainers in the snowy area, you can
heal at a small house. You'll then enter a heavy blizzard area. You'll be walking pretty
slow. Stay to the west and head north. You'll eventually see a house by the trees. Pick
the item behind it. Its TM Rock Climb. You'll need this later on. Keep heading north to
Snowpoint. You'll have to battle the gym leader before you can enter the lake and use Rock
Climb. You need to clear the snowballs blocking the way. Also you need pick up speed to
break snow balls. A good way to look at it is to be at least two tiers up or a
considerable distance away to smash a snowball. After clearing the snow, head to the top
to battle Candice.

Torterra will be easily killed here, so don't bother. Empoleon can resist most attacks and
retaliate with Drill Peck, Shadow Claw, or Surf. Infernape makes quick work of all the ice
types and does x4 damage to Snover and Abomasnow with a fire move. Clear the gym and head
to the lake.

You'll see your rival here, beaten by the admin. Before heading to the last gym, you'll
have to take care of this Galactic Organization. Head to Veilstone City once again to
clean this up once and for all.

For my next guide I will cover the Galactic HQ, Mt. Coronet-Spear Pillar, and up to the
Pokemon League. Game on!
