In HGSS, can I enter the Safari Zone before battling Eusine?

Question

I want to use a Larvitar against him.

Comments

Larvitar isn't available before Kanto and isn't available in the Safari Zone until you get the National Pokédex.

That is false. The bulbapeadia article says you can catch a larvitar at level 17. If you wait until the postgame, you can use five peak blocks in the mountain area to catch one at level 42

Answer 1

Yes. As interacting with Suicune is not mandatory to enter route 46, all you need to do is feed the medicne to Amphy so that the warden calls you.
