POKEMON WALKTHROUGH
Pallet Town ----------- Pokemon: #1 Bulbasaur, #4 Charmander, #7 Squirtle You appear in your house when you start. Go out of the house and try to head north. Prof. Oak stops you and takes you back to his lab. When you get there, you and Gary must choose one of his three Pokemon: Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur. Since you can't get these anywhere else, you may to get your friend with the other Version to get all three. If you don't want to, just choose Bulbasaur. If you want all three here's the method to do so: 1. Have Gameboy A start a new game. 2. Gameboy A chooses a Pokemon. 3. Go to Viridian City, get Oak's Parcel and deliver it to him in Pallet Town. 4. Go back to Viridian City and go to the Cable Club. 5. Gameboy A trades the Pokemon for one of Gameboy B's. Make sure that Gameboy B chooses a Pokemon that he doesn't need because you'll lose it. 6. Gameboy A starts a new game and chooses a Pokemon. 7. Keep repeating until Gameboy B has two Charmanders, Squirtles, and Bulbsaurs. Or just five since Gameboy B already has one. 8. After all that, trade your Pokemon until Gameboy A and B both have a Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. Once you have done that, Gary chooses one. Have you ever noticed that whatever he chooses, it's in his favor? Anyway, he then challenges you to a duel. It doesn't really matter if you win, you just get $175 for it. Now head north to Route 1. ------- Route 1 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #19 Rattata Not that much to do here. You might as well just build your levels by one or two since you can't capture yet. Keep heading north to Viridian City. ------------- Viridian City ------------- Items: Oak's Parcel Pokedex This is the first place with a Pokemon Center and a Poke Mart. When you first enter, head to the Poke Mart. The clerk inside gives you Oak's Parcel. Head back to Pallet Town and deliver it to Oak. Once you deliver it, he gives Gary and you a Pokedex which records data on Pokemon you've seen or captured. After that, head back to Viridian City and buy some Poke Balls at the Poke Mart. Go to Route 1 and capture a Pidgey and Rattata. If want to capture more Pokemon, buy some more Poke Balls. Go to the west to Route 22 where you can fight Gary, but it's optional. You can capture a Nidoran (M), a Nidoran (F) and a Spearow here. If you want the Town Map, head back to Pallet Town and get it from Gary's sister. Now head to Route 2, north of Viridian City. ------- Route 2 ------- Pokemon: #10 Caterpie #13 Weedle #16 Pidgey #19 Rattata Again, not a whole lot to do! You can find a Weedle in Red Version, but the Caterpie in the Blue in this area. This shows that may find a Pokemon in one Version, but not in the other. But it only applies to this area, so you can find it in both Versions in other places. Anyway, capture one and head north to Viridian Forest. --------------- Viridian Forest --------------- Pokemon: #10 Caterpie #11 Metapod #13 Weedle #14 Kakuna #25 Pikachu Items: Poke Ball Antidote Potion They is actually a bit of things to do here. Now is a good time to build your levels to around nine if you can. Here's how to navigate this place. Note that this is from your perspective on the screen, not the character's! From the start, go left, up, left to reach the Poke Ball. Go back to the start and go right, up to reach the Antidote. You encounter two Bug Catchers as you go up. From there, go left, down and follow the path to the last trainer. From the trainer, go down, right, down to the reach the Potion. Go back to where the trainer is and go up to Pewter City. ----------- Pewter City ----------- This city contains the first Pokemon League trainer, Brock. If you visit the Museum for a cost of $50, you can see fossils of rare extinct Pokemon. Later on in the game you'll be able to revive some of them, but don't get too excited. You can't go to Route 3 to the east until you beat Brock so now enter the Gym... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Brock PRIZES: Boulder Badge & TM 34 POKEMON: Geodude - L12, Onix - L14 Before you fight Brock, there is another trainer, but you can avoid him if you walk behind him. Talk to Brock at the end of the Gym to fight. This guy is super easy as long as you have a Squirtle and/or a Bulbasaur at about level 13. If you use Charmander, you will a tough time fighting. For Squirtle, use Bubble, and for Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip. With those techniques, you should be able to beat the Pokemon with a hit or two. **************************************************************** Once you've beaten him, you can now head to Route 3. ------- Route 3 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #19 Rattata #21 Spearow #39 Jigglypuff #129 Magikarp You can encounter several trainers here. The only new Pokemon to get is Jigglypuff. So capture them and keep going until you reach the Pokemon Center. Here is a salesman who will sell you a $500 Magikarp. DON'T BUY BECAUSE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY SINCE YOU CAN GET ONE LATER IN THE GAME. Go right to get to the entrance to Mt. Moon. -------- Mt. Moon -------- Pokemon: #35 Clefairy #41 Zubat #46 Paras #74 Geodude Items: Potion x2 Escape Rope Moon Stone HP Up Rare Candy TM 01 TM 12 As you can see, this place is loaded with Pokemon and items. A definite catch is Geodude in my opinion since he works well when fighting mostly any Pokemon. It's a good idea to explore and find all these items since they can be very useful. If you just want to get out, here's how you do it. From the start, go up, right, up, right, up, left, down (Avoid the ladder!), left, up, and go down the ladder. Follow the path and go down the ladder at the end. The rest of the way is pretty much straight- forward, so keep going and beat the Rocket guard. Go past him to fight again. Defeat him, and he will let you choose a Dome or a Helix Fossil. If you know someone with another Version, have that person get one Fossil and you get the other. Later on, you can revive them and trade them. After that, keep going until you get out at Route 4. ------- Route 4 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #19 Rattata #21 Spearow #23 Ekans (Red) #27 Sandshrew (Blue) Items: TM 04 Get the Pokemon that's in your Version, get the TM and the great ball go east to Cerulean City. ------------- Cerulean City ------------- For now, just rest and buy supplies since you are trapped in here. This city contains the Bike Shop where you can buy...a bike! :) The cost? A mere $1,000,000! Don't worry, you can get one for free a little bit later. Now we can fight the Gym Leader, Misty... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Misty PRIZES: Cascade Badge & TM 11 POKEMON: Staryu - L18, Starmie - L21 Another easy match! Use Bulbasaur (It probably evolved by now) or a Pikachu with a level at about 17. Then just use Grass- or Electric-type attacks on them. This battle shouldn't take very long... **************************************************************** With Misty defeated you should now head north to the Nugget Bridge. Here, you fight five Trainers to get a Nugget. Before you get a chance to fight them, you must fight Gary... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Gary POKEMON: Pidgeotto - L18, Abra - L15, Rattata - L15, Bulbasaur/Squirtle/Charmander - L17 With the right Pokemon, he shouldn't be very hard. For Pidgetto, use Pikachu at about level 18. Just pound him with Electric-type attacks to defeat him. For Abra...this guy is a joke! All he knows how to do is Teleport! So just use any Pokemon and you should be okay. For Rattata and the rest, use your best ones. **************************************************************** Now that Gary is out of the way, continue to fight the trainers on Nugget Bridge. They aren't quite as hard as Gary, so you shouldn't have all that much trouble. Defeat the five trainers and you'll get a Nugget. Then you end up fighting a Rocket member. Defeat him to continue to Route 24 and 25. ------------- Route 24 & 25 ------------- Pokemon: #10 Caterpie #11 Metapod #13 Weedle #14 Kakuna #16 Pidgey #43 Oddish (Red) #63 Abra #69 Bellsprout (Blue) Items: TM 19 TM 45 S.S. Ticket Abra is a good catch since he is the first Psychic-type Pokemon right now. When you run into him, throw a Poke Ball. Doing that might be odd, but does sometimes catch him! Once you get through the mass of trainers, you can visit Bill the Pokemaniac! When you first meet him, you find out he has been turned into a Pokemon. Check HM 01 in the "Important Info" section to see how you solve this. He'll give you the S.S. Ticket in return. Exit and go back inside and go on his PC. It contains pictures on Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. This will add pics on them to your Pokedex. Now go back to Cerulean City. ------------- Cerulean City ------------- Items: TM 28 The one house that was blocked by a guard is now open. Go inside to find out that a TM was stolen. Go out the back and fight the Rocket member. Beat him to get TM 28 which teaches a Pokemon "Dig". Keep going and head south to Route 5. ------- Route 5 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #43 Oddish (Red) #52 Meowth (Blue) #56 Mankey (Red) #69 Bellsprout (Blue) In this area, you can find the Pokemon Daycare Center. Here, the man inside will take care of a Pokemon. While you are away, its levels build up. The downside is that you don't get to choose what attacks it can use. The new Pokemon to get is Mankey in the Red and Meowth in the Blue. Keep going south and enter the Underground Path to reach Route 6. ------- Route 6 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #43 Oddish (Red) #52 Meowth (Blue) #56 Mankey (Red) #69 Bellsprout (Blue) Now exactly anything to do... Go south to reach Vermilion City. -------------- Vermilion City -------------- Items: Old Rod Bike Voucher When you first get here, enter the house to the right of the Pokemon Center to get the Old Rod from the Fishing Guru. Once get that, enter the house that directly south the house you just went in. Here is where the Pokemon Fan Club is located. Talk to the president and listen to his stories to get a Bike Voucher (Good thing you get something for listening to his ever so slighty boring stories :). With the Bike Voucher, you can backtrack to Cerulean City to get a bike free. The bike will allow you to travel faster on land. If you enter the house right by the Fan Club, you can trade a Spearow for a Farfetch'd. Since you traded Pokemon, the Farfetch'd will gain about 1/3 more EXP. Before boarding the S.S Anne, you may want to pay a visit to Diglett's Cave and Route 11 to get new Pokemon. Go farther down the walkthrough for info on them. Also before boarding, build around four Pokemon to level 25 (There are lots of trainers on board!). Until you get the HM 01 inside, the ship won't leave the docks. Now let's take a tour... --------- S.S. Anne --------- Items: HM 01 TM 08 TM 44 Great Ball Ether Max Ether Rare Candy If your Pokemon are tired and you didn't get HM 01 yet, you can leave and visit the Pokemon Center. Now's a good time to build your levels since there are loads of trainers on board. All the other items except the Great Ball are on the ground, but the ball can be found in the galley's trashcan. To reach Gary, go left from the start and go down the stairs. Then follow the hall until you meet up with Gary... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Gary POKEMON: Pidgeotto - L19, Raticate - L16, Kadabra - L18, Ivysaur/Wartortle/Charmeleon - L20 If you built up your levels, you should be fine. For Pidgetto, just use Pikachu. For the others, use your best Pokemon on them. **************************************************************** With Gary out of the way, go down the stairs that are where Gary came to the captain's room. To get the HM 01 from him, read the part on it in the "Important Info" section. Once you've got that done, leave the ship. Teach one of your Pokemon the Cut ability, and cut down the tree blocking your path to the Gym. Enter the Gym for a puzzle. Two trashcans in the room contain a switch. If you find a switch but the next can you looked in didn't have one, you have to start over. Since the switchs appear in random locations, I can't tell you where they are. What I would do is this: search the cans by rows or columns to narrow down where the switches are. Once you've found them, the door will open. Go through to fight the Gym leader... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Lt. Surge PRIZES: Thunder Badge & TM 24 POKEMON: Voltorb - L21, Pikachu - L18, Raichu - L24 If you have a Ground-type Pokemon, build its level to about 20 to make this fight easy. Use attacks like Rock Throw and Dig and each Pokemon will go down with about one hit. **************************************************************** Now with that done, head east and go into the cave. -------------- Diglett's Cave -------------- Pokemon: #50 Diglett #51 Dugtrio You might have already been here to get Diglett, so if you didn't, get one. Go through this cave to reach an area near Viridian Forest. --------------- Viridian Forest --------------- Pokemon: #122 Mr. Mime Items: HM 05 HP Up Moon Stone In the first house you find, you can trade an Abra for a Mr. Mime if you want. Cut down the tree, and head south to the next house and talk to one of Prof. Oak's aides. If you caught 10 or more kinds of Pokemon, he gives you HM 05 which contains Flash. Continue south to get items. Once you've got them, head back to Vermilion City. From there, go east to Route 11. -------- Route 11 -------- Pokemon: #21 Spearow #23 Ekans (Red) #27 Sandshrew (Blue) #96 Drowzee Items: Itemfinder Nothing much to do here. At the end of the route, search the tree that's by itself for an item. Enter the building, and upstairs is another one of Prof. Oak's aides. If you caught 30 or more kinds of Pokemon, he gives you an Itemfinder which allows you to find hidden items. Head to Cerulean City and head east to Route 9. ------- Route 9 ------- Pokemon: #19 Rattata #21 Spearow #23 Ekans (Red) #27 Sandshrew (Blue) #100 Voltorb Items: TM 30 Just capture Voltorb, get the TM and save at the Pokemon Center. You can teach one of your Pokemon Flash, but it's not required to get past Rock Tunnel. Once you're ready, head into the cave. ----------- Rock Tunnel ----------- Pokemon: #41 Zubat #66 Machop #74 Geodude #95 Onix This cave is easy to go through if you use Flash! There is only one ladder to go through in each part. Capture Onix and Machop and make your way through the cave to come out at Route 10. At Route 10, search the tree for a Max Ether. Continue south to Lavender Town. ------------- Lavender Town ------------- This place contains Pokemon Tower, the graveyard for Pokemon. One of the town residents, Mr. Fuji, is missing, and ghosts are roaming around in the tower. You can't do anything to help out yet, so head west to Route 8. ------- Route 8 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #23 Ekans (Red) #27 Sandshrew (Blue) #37 Vulpix (Blue) #52 Meowth (Blue) #56 Mankey (Red) #58 Growlithe (Red) The new Pokemon to get is Growlithe and Vulpix. Keep going west till you see two buildings. Enter the smaller one and go through an underground path that leads to Route 7. ------- Route 7 ------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #23 Ekans (Red) #27 Sandshrew (Blue) #37 Vulpix (Blue) #52 Meowth (Blue) #56 Mankey (Red) #58 Growlithe (Red) Just go west to Celadon City... ------------ Celadon City ------------ Pokemon: #133 Eevee This city contains the largest store in the game and Game Corner! To get Eevee, enter the back of the mansion and go up the building to get it. It's a good idea to buy some Stones at the store to evolve Pokemon and expand your collection. Now head to Game Corner, and press A at the poster at the back to find a hidden switch. The switch makes a secret passage appear to your right. Enter it to reach the basement... -------------------- Game Corner Basement -------------------- Items: TM 02 TM 07 TM 10 Super Potion Hyper Potion Escape Rope Nugget Rare Candy HP Up Lift Key Silph Scope As you can see, this place is loaded with items! I'll just tell where to go to get the Lift Key and Silph Scope. From where you entered, go down the stairs. Continue and go north from the Rocket guard and go down those stairs. Now you have to go through these moving tiles. This part is pretty easy, so figure it out for yourself. Once you navigate through them, go down the stairs. From there, go up and then left and fight the Rocket guard. He drops the Lift Key, so pick it up. With that, go back through the moving tiles room and go up the stairs. Now you have to go through more moving tiles! Again, this is easy enough to figure out how to get through. Once through that, go past the stairs and enter the elevator. Go up to the control panel and go the 4th Basement Floor. Exit the elevator and beat the Rocket guards near the door. Then go through to fight Giovanni, the head of Team Rocket... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Giovanni POKEMON: Onix - L25, Rhyhorn - L24, Kangaskhan - L29 This guy is quite easy if you use a Water-type Pokemon at about L25. Onix and Rhyhorn will go down with a couple Water-type attacks, but Kangaskhan will be a bit harder. **************************************************************** Once you beat Giovanni, you get the Silph Scope! Now's the time to go into the Celadon Gym to fight for another Badge... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Erika PRIZES: Rainbow Badge & TM 21 POKEMON: Victreebel - L29, Tangela - L24, Vileplume - L29 For this fight, use a Fire-type Pokemon at about L26. Then just burn each one out a couple Fire-type attacks. **************************************************************** Now with that done, head to the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town. ------------- Pokemon Tower ------------- Pokemon: #92 Gastly #93 Haunter #104 Cubone Items: Elixier Awakening Escape Rope Nugget Rare Candy HP Up X Accuracy Poke Flute With the Silph Scope in hand, you can identify the Ghosts inside! Make sure you do capture a Ghost-type Pokemon because a good bit of attacks do not hit them. Once on the 2nd Floor, you'll run into Gary... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Gary POKEMON: Pidgeotto - L25, Growlithe - L23, Exeggcute - L22, Kadabra - L20, Wartortle/Charmeleon/Ivysaur - 25 Since you got the Rainbow Badge, build up about 4 Pokemons' levels to about 25 for an easy fight. For Pidgetto, use the usual Electric-type Pokemon. When fighting Growlithe, put out its fire with Water-type attacks. For Exeggcute, burn it with Fire-type attacks. For the rest, just use your best ones. **************************************************************** Head to the 3rd and you'll find some people which evil spirits have "taken" over them. You can free them of the evil spirits, but it's not required to do so. Keep going up until you reach the 5th Floor. On that floor, someone has made you a "healing tile" to heal your Pokemon. When you try to go up the stairs on the 6th Floor, you will fight a L30 Marowak. When you beat Cubone's Mother, her spirit will lay to rest...allowing you to go on. On the final floor, there will be some Rocket guards around. Defeat them, and talk to Mr. Fuji. Then you will appear back at house. Talk to him again to get the Poke Flute. Always carry this with you, for it will wake up sleeping Pokemon. Head back to Celadon City and visit the big Poke Mart. Go to the top floor with the vending machines. Buy some Fresh Water. Remember those guards who said that they were thirsty? Talk to the guard and give him the water. He then shares with the other gaurds so you can pass through to Saffron City. But before you want to go Saffron City, you may want to get HM 02 which teaches Fly. Check the "Important Info" section to find out how. ------------ Saffron City ------------ Pokemon: #106 Hitmonlee or #107 Hitmonchan This is one of the more bigger places in the game. Before you enter Silph Co., you can go to the Fighting Dojo Gym to get a Pokemon that can't be found anywhere else. Enter the Gym and you can skip three of the Trainers by going around them. Your Psychic-type Pokemon will be needed to easily overcome the Fighting-type. To get the rare Pokemon, talk to the leader at the back to enter a fight... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Blackbelt POKEMON: Hitmonlee - L37, Hitmonchan - L37 For an easy victory, use any Psychic-type Pokemon. Otherwise, just use some normal attacks that do decent damage such as Slash and Scratch. The leader also tends to use X Attack on his Pokemon. **************************************************************** Once you win, the Karate Master will allow to choose a Hitmonlee or a Hitmonchan. Both are good fighters, so it doesn't really matter which one you choose. With that done, head to Silph Co. --------- Silph Co. --------- Pokemon: #131 Lapras Items: TM 03 TM 09 TM 36 Card Key Hyper Potion Max Revive Full Heal Escape Rope Protein HP Up Calcium X Accuracy Master Ball This place is can be easily completed by doing the basic things. When you enter, head to the elevator and go the 5th Floor. On this floor, you can find the Card Key at the small hallway part with a Rocket guard. Get the key and go to the 3rd Floor. From the room with the open door, go left and open the first door. Step on the teleporter, and you'll appear and enter the room with Gary... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Gary POKEMON: Pidgeot - L37, Growlithe - L38, Exeggcute - L35, Alakazam - L35, Blastoise/Charizard/Venusaur - L40 If you're not prepared, this will be a tough fight. You know the drill from the last fight with Gary. For Pidgeot, use the Electric-type and on Growlithe, use the Water-type. Burn Exeggcute with the Fire-type. For the rest, just battle it out with your best. **************************************************************** Now that Gary is out of the way, talk to the Silph Co. worker to get Lapras. Continue down and step on the teleporter. Now you'll appear on the 11th Floor. Go down, beat the Rocket guard and open the door for a fight with Giovanni... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Giovanni POKEMON: Nidorino - L37, Kangaskhan - L35, Rhyhorn - L37, Nidoqueen - L41 Like the last Giovanni fight, use any Water-type Pokemon. That's really just about it... **************************************************************** Once you defeat him, talk to the Silph Co. president to get the Master Ball, a kind of Poke Ball that can catch any Pokemon regardless of its HP! Now that you put Team Rocket out of the way, head to the Gym. This one has yet another puzzle, but with using teleporters. Step on the first teleporter, then go up to another teleporter. Then step on the lower-left teleporter. Now go to the right and step on the teleporter. Now again, step on the lower-left teleporter and you'll end up at Sabrina... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Sabrina PRIZES: Marsh Badge & TM 46 POKEMON: Kadabra - L38, Mr. Mime - L37, Venomoth - L38, Alakazam - L43 Use you best Pokemon, they should be around L39, against them. Use decent-damaging attacks such as Slash and Scratch. **************************************************************** With all that done, now's a good time to start to expand your Pokemon collection. But to fish all the good Pokemon you are going to need the Super Rod at Route 12. Head south from Lavender Town or east from Vermilion to reach it... -------- Route 12 -------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #43 Oddish (Red) #44 Gloom (Red) #48 Venonat (Red) #69 Bellsprout (Blue) #70 Weepinbell (Blue) #143 Snorlax Items: TM 16 Super Rod When you encounter the sleeping Snorlax, use the Poke Flute to wake him up. It will then attack you. Capturing the L30 Snorlax is a piece of cake compared to getting the mythical birds! When he uses "Rest", wear 'em down and toss Great Balls at him. Once that's done, keep going south to reach a house. Go inside and talk to the Fishing Guru for a Super Rod. Now you start catching loads of water Pokemon! Now it's time to head to Fuchsia City, but there is two ways to reaching it: Routes 13, 14, & 15 or Routes 16, 17 & 18... ------------------- Routes 13, 14, & 15 ------------------- Pokemon: #16 Pidgey #17 Pidgetto #43 Oddish #44 Gloom #48 Venonat #69 Bellsprout #70 Weepinbell #132 Ditto Items: TM 20 EXP. All Ditto can a great Pokemon to use, as it allows you to change into the enemy's Pokemon. But the problem is that you only get 5 PP for any and every move! Ditto is also a hard Pokemon to catch. Keep going through until you reach one of those towers. Inside is another of Prof. Oak's Aides. If you've caught 50 or more Pokemon, he gives an EXP. All. Keep going to reach Fuchsia City. ------------------- Routes 16, 17, & 18 ------------------- Pokemon: #19 Ratta #20 Raticate #21 Spearow #22 Fearow #84 Doduo #143 Snorlax Items: HM 02 This place also has Snorlax in it. Use the Poke Flute to wake him up, then defeat or capture it. Since place is mainly a steep hill, use your Bicycle to travel down easier. You can find HM 02 here, check the Important Info to see how. Once you reach the end, go east to reach Fuchsia City. ------------ Fuchsia City ------------ Items: Good Rod Here is where Safari Zone is located! You can also get HM 04 here if you can find the Warden's Gold Teeth. Read the "Important Info" section to see how. Visit the house beside the Warden's to see the Fishing Guru. Talk to him to get the Good Rod. Enter the Gym where you can find Koga. Before you can fight him, you must move around the Gym where there are hidden walls. Along the way you'll end up runnning into Trainers. Go through that, talk to Koga to enter the fight... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Koga PRIZES: Soul Badge & TM 06 POKEMON: Koffing - L37, Muk - L39, Koffing - L37, Weezing - L43 This Gym Leader uses Poison-type Pokemon, so buy some Antidotes. Use Ground-type Pokemon at about L40 for an easy win. If you use Poison-type Pokemon, you won't have to worry about being poisoned! **************************************************************** With that done, you can head to Safari Zone to increase your Pokemon collection. Now the next stop is Cinnabar Island... --------------- Cinnabar Island --------------- To reach this place, you must first get HM 03 which has Surf. Then go to Pallet Town, and Surf down until you reach it. Here at Cinnabar Island, you can ressurect Pokemon with the Fossils. To do so, go to the Pokemon Lab, enter the third room with give your Fossil to the scientist. Exit the Lab, enter and talk to him to get the Pokemon. Here is what you can get: Old Amber = #142 Aerodactyl Helix Fossil = #138 Omanyte Dome Fossil = #140 Kabuto If you try to enter the Cinnabar Gym, you'll find out that the door is locked. You need to enter the Pokemon Mansion and find the Secret Key. Before you enter, try to build up a couple Water- or Rock-type Pokemon to about L38. Also bring along a Pokemon that has the Dig move. --------------- Pokemon Mansion --------------- Pokemon: #37 Vulpix (Blue) #58 Growlithe (Red) #77 Ponyta #88 Grimer #89 Muk #109 Koffing #110 Weezing #126 Magmar (Blue) Items: TM 14 TM 22 Secret Key Max Potion Full Restore Escape Rope Rare Candy Iron Calcium This is a bit confusing because of the switches. Around the building, you can find notes that tell about the mansion and Pokemon. When you enter, go up and enter the stairs. On the 2nd Floor, activate the switch nearby on the statue. Then enter the room that's north of you. Then go up the stairs. From there, there is another statue with a switch. Hit that and go into the lower room. Leap off the lower-left ledge. You'll land on the 1st Floor. In that room, there is another flight of stairs. Go down them to enter the basement. In the room to your left, activate the switch there and enter the hallway north of the stairs you went up. Keep going through to find the Secret Key at the end. Use Dig to exit the building. With the key in hand, you can now open the Gym. In the Gym, you must beat Trainers in order for the doors to open. At the end, talk to Blaine for the fight... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Blaine PRIZES: Volcano Badge & TM 38 POKEMON: Growlithe - L42, Ponyta - L40, Rapidash - L42, Arcanine - L47 Use L40+ Ground- or Water-type Pokemon to make this fight a sinch. Attacks such as Bubblebeam, Earthquake, and Dig prove to be quite effective against beating him. **************************************************************** With Blaine out of the way, you have one more Gym Leader to beat. Surf or Fly back to Pallet Town and go to Viridian City. ------------- Viridian City ------------- Remember when you first went here and the Gym was locked? Now it's open! Go inside and navigate through the moving tiles. Talk to the final Gym Leader, Giovanni... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Giovanni PRIZES: Earth Badge & TM 27 POKEMON: Rhyhorn - L45, Dugtrio - L42, Nidoqueen - L44, Nidoking - L45, Rhydon - L50 Like the other couple fights with Giovanni, use Water-type Pokemon at about L45. You should be able to take him out pretty easily with Water- type attacks. **************************************************************** With all of the Gym Leaders defeated, you must now head to the Elite Four. Go west of Viridian and you'll encounter Gary... **************************************************************** TRAINER: Gary POKEMON: Pidgeot - L47, Rhyhorn - L45, Growlithe - L45, Exeggcute - L47, Alakazam - L50, Blastoise/Charizard/Venusaur - L53 This battle isn't much different from the last couple battles with Gary. Use Electric on Pidgeot, Water will take down Rhyhorn and Growlithe easily. For the rest, use your best! **************************************************************** Continue on to enter the building that leads to the Pokemon League HQ... -------------- Routes 22 & 23 -------------- Pokemon: #21 Spearow #22 Fearow #23 Ekans #24 Arbok #27 Sandshrew #28 Sandslash #132 Ditto In order to get past all the guards, you must collect all eight Badges. You also need Surf to get past the water. Get through all this to enter Victory Road. ------------ Victory Road ------------ Pokemon: #41 Zubat #42 Golbat #66 Machop #67 Machoke #74 Geodude #75 Graveler #95 Onix #105 Marowak #146 Moltres Items: TM 05 TM 17 TM 43 TM 47 Max Revive Full Heal Rare Candy Guard Spec. This place contains the mythical fire bird, Moltres. In order for you to move through this place, you need Strength. The main to do is to move the boulders onto the switches so you can reach another area. This place isn't that confusing, but in one spot there is a hole in which you push the boulder in it. It's kinda hard to see it on the Gameboy screen. Moltres will be a difficult one to catch. Wear him down with Electric- or Water-type attacks and put him to sleep. Then use Ultra Balls on him. Once you reach the exit, head north to Indigo Plateau. -------------- Inidgo Plateau -------------- This place is just a Poke Mart and a Pokemon Center in one. Once you're prepared for the Elite Four, go down the stairs. Check the "Elite Four" part in the Important Info section on beating them. Once they're done for, you can now enter the cave near Cerulean City, the Unknown Dungeon. You can also collect the other Legendary Birds, but it's optional. ----------- Power Plant ----------- Pokemon: #25 Pikachu #26 Raichu (Blue) #81 Magnemite #82 Magneton #100 Voltorb #125 Electabuzz (Red) #145 Zapdos Items: TM 25 TM 33 Rare Candy Carbos HP Up To reach the Power Plant, go east of Cerulean City. When you see the water near the entrance to Rock Tunnel, Surf down it and you'll end up by it. Inside the plant, there are several Poke Balls that are actually Voltorbs instead of items. At the end of this place is Zapdos. Get his energy down as far as you can, put him to sleep and throw Ultra Balls at him. With Zapdos captured, head to Seafoam Islands. --------------- Seafoam Islands --------------- Pokemon: #41 Zubat #42 Golbat #54 Psyduck #55 Golduck #79 Slowpoke #80 Slowbro #86 Seel #87 Dewgong #90 Shellder #98 Krabby #99 Kingler #116 Horsea #120 Staryu #144 Articuno To reach this place, Surf down from Fuchsia City. Continue on until you reach the islands. Here you will you need to move more boulders, so you need Strength. All you need to do is to move the boulders down the holes until they land in the water. Then on the 3rd Basement Floor, push those boulders there into the holes so they land in the water. Now you can reach Articuno! Repeat the same thing that you did on Zapdos to get him. Now head to Cerulean City. Go north and Surf down until you reach a cave entrance. --------------- Unknown Dungeon --------------- Pokemon: #24 Arbok (Red) #26 Raichu #28 Sandslash (Blue) #40 Wigglytuff #42 Golbat #47 Parasect #49 Venomoth #64 Kadabra #82 Magneton #85 Dodrio #97 Hypno #101 Electrode #105 Marowak #112 Rhydon #113 Chansey #132 Ditto #150 Mewtwo Items: Max Revive Max Elixier Full Restore x2 Ultra Ball x2 PP Up Nugget Make sure you prepared for the Pokemon here, they are ALL at least L50! Since these Pokemon have high levels, you can capture a good team to use. This is also the best place to build up the levels of Pokemon since you get about 1,000 EXP after each fight. This place isn't very confusing, so finding Mewtwo isn't too hard. When you do, use the Master Ball. If you did use it, repeat what you did to the others. Now you've completed Pokemon! Good luck on catching all 150!
