1 Route 34. Enter the gate at the southern end of Route 34 (just above Ilex Forest) and speak to the woman on the right-hand side. No

In Pokémon Crystal, you can get TM12 Sweet Scent by talking to a lady standing with her Butterfree in the gate between Ilex Forest and Route 34. You’ll find this gate just south of Goldenrod City.

And this NPC will give you the TM for free, but this is the only copy of TM12 in the game.

Prerequisites

Before you can reach the guardhouse, there are two things you need to accomplish:

  • Defeat the Azalea Town gym
  • Receive HM01 Cut from the Charcoal Maker

Once inside, the NPC who gives you TM12 is easy to spot. You can find her to the right standing behind a counter, with a Butterfree next to her.

Sweet Scent is a Normal-type move that lowers the evasiveness of the opposing Pokémon by 1 stage.

Or if used as a field move, Sweet Scent will also attract wild Pokémon in grass or on water. Sweet Scent will cause wild Pokémon to appear, even if a Repel has been used.
