Macho Brace Locations in Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen

IN Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen training your Pokemon team is the key to success. And to do that, players need to learn everything about EV Training, including where to get the elusive Macho Brace. This held item will increase the rate at which Pokemon gain EV, making it ideal for growing Pokemon faster.

But to find her, players must first complete most of the Gym Leader challenges, including defeating Giovanni, the 8th Gym Leader, as well as the Boss of Team Rocket. Also, having an Itemfinder is a must, so let's start with how to get this item and how it will help trainers get the Macho Brace in Pokémon FR/LG.

How to find Macho Brace in Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen

On find the Macho Brace in Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen players must first travel to Vermillion town and head east to find the Gate Building connecting to Route 12 and talk to the assistant prof. Oak on the second floor to receive the Itemfinder.

This can only be done if they have caught or evolved 30 different types of Pokemon. Now, after that, there are two different things you need to do before you get the Macho Brace. The first is to completely beat Team Rocket, and that means attack on the basement of Celadon Cityand then expel them from them Silph Co. in Saffron City.

How to get Coin Case in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen

You will need the Coin Case to access the slots in Celadon.

Once players do this, the last 3 gym leaders will be unlocked (more or less). The first is Sabrina in Saffron, then Blaine in Cinnabar Island and last but not least Giovanni in Viridian City. Back at the beginning of Pokemon Journey, players will have to face a fierce battle against Giovanni and his team consisting of:

Rhyhorn Lv. 45
Dugtrio Lv. 42
Nidoqueen Lv. 43
Rhyhorn Lv. 50
Nidoking Lv. 43

With a little skill and matching chips, players will be able to defeat him in no time. After his dialogue ends, he disappears, leaving behind his duties as a gym leader and where he stood free for players to search with the Itemfinder.

Use the Itemfinder in the exact same place Giovani was after defeating him to find the Macho Brace

As with the Calming Bell and Remnants, the Macho Brace is a special hidden item that only responds to the item finder when players are standing in the exact same spot it is. So if you stand right where the Gym Leader Giovanni was and use the Itemfinder, bright stars will appear above the trainer's head and then automatically collect the Macho Brace.
