Pokemon Let's Go Silph Scope - Go past the Ghost in Lavender Tower

There’s a ghost in Lavender Town tower which prevents you from reaching its top and then you’ll have to get a Silph Scope item to get past him. Once you finally reach Lavender Town, after laboring through Rock Tunnel, you’ll probably notice a tall building. When you go inside you’ll learn that there is a ghost problem no one can solve. As you go up the tower, while fighting possessed trainers, you’ll get to a point where a huge ghost appears and your starter Pokemon, Pikachu or Eevee, won’t let you go any further. To get past the ghost you need to find a Silph Scope. It is a key item that allows a person to see and identify ghosts. We’ll talk about where to find the Silph made binoculars and how to face the ghost of Lavender Tower.

Where To Get The Silph Scope In Pokemon Let’s Go?

You’ll have to go to Celadon City and enter the Team Rocket Hideout to find the Silph Scope. You’ll first have to get to Celadon from Lavender Town. As you exit the tower, after meeting the ghost, you’ll notice Jessie and James on the entrance to Route 8. After a small cutscene with the poor Cubone continue your journey via Route 8. After going through the underground tunnel go along Route 7 and you’ll arrive in Celadon. Team Rocket Hideout is hidden inside the Rocket Game Corner building, which is right of the huge department store where you can buy all the outfits for your Pokemon. Push the button behind a poster to the right and an entrance will open to the left. It has four underground floors.

How to reach Team Rocket Boss Giovanni in Celadon City?

Go downstairs floor by floor. You’ll encounter many Team Rocket Grunts and moving walkway puzzles. At one point on the third floor down you’ll come across a guy who has the elevator key for you. He chucks it up on the wall, but if you move the chair next to an air duct and have Pikachu/Eevee go up there you’ll be able to reach it. Obtain the lift key and then go back up the stairs. You need to reach the first underground floor where you first came across that moving floor puzzle. Go through the puzzle to reach its south exit because the elevator is to the right of there. Take it down to floor B4F. This is where Boss Giovanni is at. Once you defeat his Persian and Rhyhorn (bring a water type pokemon for this one) you will get the Silph Scope.

Go right from the department store and enter Rocket Game Corner

First, press the button behind the poster to the right and then a hidden entrance will open to the left.

Reach the last underground floor to get the elevator key and then go back to the first underground floor. Go through the moving floor puzzle and reach the elevator. This takes you to Giovanni.

All that is left to be done is go back to Lavender tower and complete your quest there with Mr. Fuji. The big reward is that you’ll get a Poke flute key item once you reach the top of the tower. With it you’ll be able to wake up sleeping Pokemon that were blocking your way. This will make traversal through the land much easier and give unique chances to capture some Snorlax.
