Girafarig, her lead, runs Calm Mind and Baton Pass with Psychic for STAB and Shadow Brawl to handle whatsoever Ghost-types you use; Girafarig is immune to their attacks but all the same goes downwardly to Problems- or Dark-type ones. Her Lickilicky has is quite beefy, can't become confused due to Ain Tempo and, despite having better Set on, runs a versatile Special set: Wring Out, Water ice Beam, Thunderbolt and Flamethrower. Bibarel has the Unproblematic power, doubling its stat modifers from Double Team and Accuse Beam, which has a seventy% take chances to raise its Special Attack. With Surf and Water ice Beam, this gives Bibarel some power, so beat it quickly with Fighting-, Grass or Electric-moves or use negative stat modifiers on it instead. Delcatty, like Girafarig, can laissez passer Calm Minds, and information technology also can Assist to employ a random move from its teammates, but its stats are so abysmal that it'south not a threat. Clefable runs Calm Listen and three stiff yet inaccurate Special attacks in Thunder, Fire Blast and Blizzard, while Miltank is her only Physical-oriented Pokemon: she has Rest and a Lum Berry, but likewise runs Slumber Talk to use Body Slam while asleep, and knows Scrappy to striking Ghost-types.

Morty's first Gengar tin inflict statuses with Misfile Ray and Hypnosis, while Shadow Ball and Focus Blast take first-class coverage together, and the latter scares Normal-types. His other Gengar has the same tactic as Drifblim, so take it down fast and avert Destiny Bond; Psychic moves coming from non-Psychic-types are corking against the Gengar. Most of Morty'due south Pokemon have low Defenses, so they won't final long against your Ghost- or Nighttime-type attacks, while fire, poison or Leech Seed clothing downward Dusknoir's low HP rapidly. If they avert Brick Break and Focus Blast, Normal-types who know Shadow Claw or Dark-types with a STAB movement tin tear autonomously Morty'south Pokemon, and other neutral Physical moves work as well. Four of his Pokemon have three immunities, then keep those with only Ground-, Fighting- and Normal-type moves off the field.

Telephone Information: Unlike most of the Gym Leaders, you have to do a few things earlier getting Lt. Surge's phone number. First, you must faint or capture Zapdos on Route 10; the side by side day, Surge will appear in Route 10's grass every twenty-four hour period from 9 AM to 11 AM. However, he won't give you his phone number until y'all capture a Pikachu from the Viridian Forest and speak to him while Pikachu is the first fellow member of your party.

While Steel-types should avoid Oestrus Wave, Rock- or Electric-types can take out Crobat easily.

Toxicroak has 2 STAB moves, Cross Chop and Toxicant Jab, and can utilize Substitute to attempt to forestall beingness wiped out in one hit from its 4x Psychic-type weakness; avoid using Water-type attacks on Toxicroak because its Dry Skin power volition cause Toxicroak to gain wellness instead. Strangely, Ariados lacks its trademark movement, Spider Web, despite information technology running a psuedo-Toxitrapper set with Toxic, Swagger, Bounce to stall, and Night Shade to deal consequent damage. Janine uses a 2d Bug/Toxicant-type, Venomoth, who is a Special aggressor with Issues Fizz and Psychic, forth with Sleep Pulverisation and Double Team to cause irritation; use Fire-, Rock- and Flight-type moves, including Aerial Ace, to take down both Ariados and Venomoth.

Aqua'due south docks in Olivine Urban center every Friday. She can be called on Dominicus afternoons to schedule a rematch in her hometown. Boxing Strategy: Sabrina retains her original squad of Alakazam, Espeon and Mr. Mime also as adding Jynx, Wobbuffet and Gallade. Sabrina's pb, Alakazam, tin can use Gravity to ground your Flying-types, and goes to work with its Special-based moveset of Psychic, Focus Boom and Energy Ball, which provides a strong STAB move and coverage against Night- and Steel-types.

Mr. Mime is also Special-based, knowing Psychic and Thunder, and information technology can use Reflect to boost the middling Defense of both itself and its teammates. It has the Filter ability to reduce the power of super-constructive attacks, but it might use Skill Swap to switch it onto you as well. It certainly could stick you with a more useless ability. Sabrina's Jynx is a high risk/high reward Special assaulter, knowing Psychic, Blizzard and Focus Blast; it also has Perish Song, simply you lot can smack her downwards with Concrete attacks before Perish Vocal fifty-fifty ends. Sabrina frustratingly uses the broken Wobbuffet, with Counter, Mirror Coat and Encore, but if you lot inflict it with Toxic and employ a Dark-type with a Special move or a Ghost-type with a Physical move, Wobbuffet is helpless, merely lookout man out for its Destiny Bond before it faints. Gallade is Sabrina's only Physical attacker, with two STAB moves, Psycho Cut and Close Combat, and two attacks to have out Psychic-type's weaknesses, Stone Border and Night Slash. In general, Sabrina's Pokemon lack in Defence force, and so if yous have a speedy Nighttime-, Ghost- or Issues-type, y'all might be able to take her out without existence smashed with her countermeasures. Otherwise, strong Physical attacks work well, Steel-types resist her main moves, and y'all tin focus on her team's secondary types for added impairment.

Boxing Strategy: Similar Sabrina, Blaine kept his iii old Pokemon and added three newcomers, giving him Torkoal, Camerupt, Rapidash, Magcargo, Houndoom and Magmortar. His pb, Torkoal, sets up Sunny Mean solar day to back up itself and its teammates; in addition to its power STAB movement, Overheat, information technology can put your Pokemon asleep with Yawn or paralyze them with a lucky Torso Slam, which is Torkoal's main attack. Fire/Ground-type Camerupt runs Convulsion and Eruption for STAB ability, and it has Sunny Day and Solarbeam to enable i-turn Solarbeams to exist fired off against its biggest weakness, H2o-types. Rapidash all the same tosses out Overheats, this time without Mental Herbs to recover its Special Attack, merely with powerful STAB motion Flare Blitz, Megahorn and Quick Assail to finish off weakened opponents, it doesn't really need its Special Assault anyway. Magcargo uses Expletive to boost its subpar Assail and loftier Defense while lowering its pitiful Speed even more; this gives some bite to its Gyro Ball as well as its STAB Stone Edge, and it has Overheat to handle Pokemon with loftier Defense. While it lacks Nasty Plot, Blaine's Houndoom uses Special STAB moves Night Pulse and Flamethrower, along with inexpensive-shot Sucker Punch and Shadow Brawl every bit filler. Magmortar runs a mixed gear up, hitting with STAB Special Flamethrower, Thunderbolt to combat Water-types, and the Physical Low Boot to bargain with heavy Rock-types. Physical attackers should avoid contact moves on Magmortar and Magcargo or gamble a burn. As is usual in Gym rematches, Blaine has ways to combat his weaknesses, only he tin can't overcome all vi of his Pokemon having the same type. His squad generally has low Speed and Defense, making them suseptible to Ground- and Stone-type moves, including Stealth Stone, while Torkoal, Camerupt and especially Magcargo go down fast confronting Surf.

First, you'll need a Pokemon that has maximum happiness, which you can check with the woman in Goldenrod City, and increase with haircuts in the Underground, vitamins and walking with a Soothe Bell fastened. In one case you accept a Pokemon with total happiness, you'll need Blueish'due south sis, Daisy, to massage it 7 times in Pallet Town, just she only grooms one time per mean solar day between 3 PM and iv PM, and so you'll have to visit her on at least seven different days. After you have the Pokemon massaged seven times, speak to Daisy again and she'll offer her brother's phone number, which can be called on Lord's day nights to schedule a rematch with Blue at the Fighting Dojo. Boxing Strategy: Later on Carmine and Lance'southward rematch squad, Blueish's second roster is probably your hardest fight in the game, featuring Exeggutor, Machamp, Rhyperior, Arcanine, Tyranitar and Pidgeot, all averaging Level seventy. Every bit before, Blue leads with Exeggutor to setup Play tricks Room and so sweep with two strong STAB moves, Leaf Storm and Psychic, or use Explosion to go blast. Exeggutor has several weaknesses, including Burn-, Flying-, Ice- and a 4x to Bug-, and it too has below boilerplate Special Defence, so use Flamethrower, Ice Beam or Bug Buzz. Machamp still has No Baby-sit to allow its inaccurate ability moves, STAB Dynamicpunch and Stone Edge, have perfect accurateness. In addition to Dynamincpunch'due south confusion, it knows Attract for further badgerer, and Psychic-types aren't fifty-fifty safety due to Fling and its Iron Ball particular, giving information technology a 130 BP Physical Dark-type motility. A fast Pokemon with Air Slash or Extrasensory, such equally Togekiss, is ideal here considering it might flinch while striking super-effective. Blue'southward Rhyperior is designed for pure Physical beatdown, with STAB moves Earthquake and Rock Edge supported past Megahorn for Grass-types and Thunder Fang for Water-types. All the same, it withal has two nasty 4x weaknesses to these types, and it's not very fond of Low Kick because information technology's and then heavy, either. Blue'due south Arcanine is too Physical-oriented, with the powerful recoil STAB move, Flare Blitz, as well as Thunder Fang and Crunch for coverage and ExtremeSpeed to pick off damaged opponents; don't use Fire-type attacks on Arcanine or else its Flash Burn down will boost Flare Blitz's power fifty-fifty more. Adjacent, Tyranitar's Sand Stream ability will whip upwards Sandstorm, boosting the Special Defence of both Tyranitar and Rhyperior; information technology also knows Convulsion, Stone Slide, Fire Fang and Low Boot, letting it gainsay many types. All the same, information technology has several weaknesses, including Water-, Grass- and a 4x Fighting-type weakness, and it'south rather heavy, so both Grass Knot and Low Kick work well, as practice other moves of these types. Finally, Blueish's Pidgeot has changed picayune, every bit it nonetheless brings up its evasion with Double Squad and its main attack is the powerful STAB Return. While information technology has mediocre Special Attack, it might effort to use Air Slash to stun your Pokemon, and it has Steel Wing every bit a cheque against Rock-types. However, information technology however can't last against Electric-, Ice- or Rock-type attacks. When yous finally have down all of Blue's team, you lot can feel proud for defeating the hardest of the Gym Leaders' rematch teams.

After you get all xvi badges and talk to Professor Oak to open up Mt. Silver, the Elite Four's rosters volition upgrade and you tin fight their new teams for the rest of the game. While the v Trainers and their blazon specialities have not changed, their rosters now have higher levels, amend agree items, more competitive movesets and the incorporation of Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokemon to flesh out each Main'southward team to six fully evolved members. While it'southward not mandatory to fight the Elites again, their upgraded teams are primal in grooming your Pokemon to prepare for Crimson. You lot'll probably desire your own Pokemon to be at least Levels 55-60 before challenging them, and even and so you should pack a lot of Full Restores and Revives in advance.

Volition exchanged his Exeggutor and second Xatu for Bronzong, Grumpig and Gardevoir; oddly, near of his Pokemon are now female person. He leads with Bronzong, who has Fireproof to nullify its Burn down-type weakness; this ways that it lacks Levitate, so utilise Ground-blazon attacks, although information technology tin Reflect to nerf your Earthquakes. Bronzong tin use Gravity to ground Flying-types, or it can attack with Payback or Psychic. Grumpig will badger you with Misfile Ray and it has moves to cover its STAB Psychic, hitting Night- or Psychic-types with Signal Beam or Problems-types with Power Gem. Jynx has a Lovely Kiss and Dream Eater combo, in addition to Imitation Tears to lower your Special Defence force, just you can switch and/or utilise Full Heal or Bluish Flute to stop her. As an Water ice-type, she's weak a lot and has sorry Defense, so Physical attacks work well. Volition'south Slowbro is designed to tank, as it knows both Curse and Amnesia to boost its Defenses and its Body Slam likewise benefits from Curse's furnishings. However, it'southward slow and vulnerable to status conditions and Grass- and Electric-blazon attacks. Gardevoir runs At-home Mind with Psychic, Focus Blast and Charge Axle, so Night-types should avert Focus Blast and you lot should take her out quickly with Physical attacks. Finally, Xatu is well-rounded with two Special attacks, Psychic and Shadow Ball, and Confuse Ray. It's Flying-type, so you can use Electric-, Stone- or Ice-type attacks. In general, Will has low Defense and his Pokemon are generally weak against Issues- and Dark-blazon moves, but y'all can't rely on Dark-type'due south immunity or Psychic- or Steel-type's resistances every bit much as you did in the first battle due to Will'due south increased versatility.

Koga dropped Ariados and Forretress in favor of Skuntank, Toxicroak and Swalot. His pb, Skuntank, is allowed to Psychic-type moves, but likes to use Dig, at which indicate Convulsion does double impairment. It can also inflict Toxic, get a cheap shot with Sucker Punch or use Explosion to faint itself and likely your Pokemon likewise. Toxicroak has a 4x Psychic-blazon weakness, so whatsoever attack of that blazon should kill it; still, information technology has a versatile moveset of STAB moves, Gunk Shot and Cantankerous Chop, and X-Scissor to bargain with slower Psychic-types. Swalot is more defensive, as it tin can use Amnesia to meliorate its Special Defence or Yawn to put your Pokemon asleep. In addition to its primary attack, Sludge Bomb, it also has Pain Split, which is rather pointless on a Pokemon with and so much HP. Basis- or Psychic-type Physical attacks work well. Venomoth is weak to Burn down-, Flying-, Rock- and Psychic-type attacks. In addition to Psychic, it has Double Team to raise its evasion; Argent Current of air, which might heighten all of its stats; and Baton Pass, which tin can pass these stat modifiers to another member of Koga'southward party. Muk is incredibly annoying, knowing Minimize to enhance its evasion and Toxic to badly poison your Pokemon. It has Swagger and Screech to confuse your Pokemon and cause massive damage if it hurts itself in confusion. Finally, Crobat is a textbook Toxistaller, with Hateful Look to trap your Pokemon, Toxic to badly poisonous substance, and Wing to stall. Information technology also knows Cantankerous Toxicant, which has a high critical hit ratio. Koga generally relies on luck and badgerer to win, rather than ability, but Psychic- and Basis-type moves or moves that ignore accuracy modifiers grant you an reward.

Bruno's roster has changed the to the lowest degree, equally he simply switched his Onix for Lucario and Hariyama. Hitmontop has two stiff Physical attacks, STAB Close Combat and Earthquake for coverage, and can utilise Counter to deal twice the damage dealt by your Physical moves. Weakened Pokemon should also watch out for its Quick Attack. Hitmonlee uses information technology high Assault to dish out punishment with Close Combat and Blaze Kick; it can confuse you with Swagger and employ Reversal when it gets low on health to deal extreme damage. Hitmonchan also has Shut Combat and can heal itself with Drain Punch. It can apply Substitute to preclude a one-hit KO and priority move Bullet Punch to pick off a weaker Pokemon. In add-on to Bullet Punch, Hariyama has Bulk Upwards to boost its Attack and Defense, Low Kicking to harm your heavier Pokemon, and Payback to deal with Ghost-types. Machamp'south No Baby-sit ability gives perfect accurateness to both his attacks and your own, and Foresight removes Ghost-blazon's immunity to its STAB Dynamicpunch, which confuses on contact; it as well has Stone Edge for Flying-types and Bullet Dial. Lucario has power STAB moves Close Gainsay and Fe Tail as well equally the strong priority motion Extremespeed. Other than Lucario, which is role Steel and weak confronting Fire-, Ground- and Fighting-types, Bruno'south entire team consists of pure Fighting-types, which ways they're weak to Flying- and Psychic-types and resist Dark-, Bug- and Rock-type moves. Ghost-types who accept Levitate, such as Gengar or Misdreavus, are excellent against Bruno because very few of his attacks can him them, although it's wise to spotter out for Hariyama's Payback. Considering so many of Bruno'due south Pokemon use Close Combat, which lowers their Defenses, stay on the attack confronting him and you should win.

Karen's roster has inverse the virtually, as she ditched her non-Nighttime Pokemon for the more blazon-appropriate Weavile, Spiritomb and Absol, plus her Murkrow has evolved into Honchkrow. She opens with a common lead Pokemon, Weavile, which has 4 Concrete moves: Depression Boot to hurt heavier foes and STAB attacks Night Slash, Ice Punch and Ice Shard, which has high priority. It is fragile and, like Sneasel, weak to Stone-, Fire, Bug-, Steel- and (4x) Fighting-types. Spiritomb has no weaknesses, high Defenses and low HP, making its Pain Carve up stiff and, as a Ghost-type, its Curse drains one-half of its health, so take advantage of that. Spotter out for its Sucker Punch and Misfile Ray. Pure Dark-type Absol scouts with Detect and damages with STAB Dark Slash or Psycho Cut to deal with Fighting-types; its Perish Vocal volition KO your active Pokemon unless you it switch out in time. Honchkrow can paralyze you lot with Thunder Wave and has 2 STAB moves: Sucker Punch and Drill Peck, which tin fight off any Bug-types y'all bring to deal with Karen'due south Dark-types. Umbreon uses Curse to heave its high Defense and middling Assail, giving its Sucker Dial and Payback attacks more than bite; information technology likewise has Confuse Ray to give information technology a chance to setup. Karen'southward Houndoom is still a pure Special sweeper, with Nasty Plot and iii stiff Special moves: STAB attacks Dark Pulse and Flamethrower, as well as Sludge Bomb. Focus on Physical Fighting-, Footing-, Water- or Rock-types considering Houndoom has horrible Defense. In general, Karen's Pokemon are weak against Fighting- and Bug-type moves, but Honchkrow and Spiritomb do a adept chore in guarding confronting both. However, her simply bulky Pokemon are Umbreon and Spiritomb, so she tin can't stay on the defensive for likewise long.

Brand no error about information technology: afterwards dropping two Dragonite and his Aerodactyl for Altaria, Salamence and Garchomp, Lance is tough, and it doesn't help that his Pokemon have a adequately big Level boost over Karen's. His atomic number 82 Pokemon, Salamence, is profoundly annoying due to its Intimidate power, loftier Attack and Speed, and versatile moveset of Dragon Claw, Shadow Hook and Flamethrower. Even worse, it can Rest and utilise its Lum Berry to recover all of its health in one turn. If you take a Water Pokemon with high Defense force and an Water ice-blazon attack like Ice Beam or Avalanche, it is a savior confronting Salamence. His Gyarados has a purely competitive moveset: Dragon Dance to heave Assault and Speed, with Waterfall and Water ice Fang for coverage and Thunder Wave to irksome you down. Notwithstanding, whatsoever Electrical-blazon set on tin can still put Gyarados down for the count. Lance'southward Altaria is a souvenir, as it has weak attacks, depression offensive stats and a 4x weakness to Ice-type moves, then it's the just breather you'll make it this match. Charizard is very fast and has swell Special Assail, using Flamethrower, Air Slash and Hyper Beam, as well every bit Dragon Claw to have out anything else. As usual, information technology hates Stone-type moves and isn't fond of Electric- or H2o-types either. Garchomp has two powerful STAB moves, Outrage and Convulsion, and boosts them further with Swords Dance; Ice-blazon attacks are once again your best friend. Finally, Dragonite blocks your status conditions with Safeguard and has three overpowered Special moves with great coverage: Draco Meteor, Fire Blast and Hyper Beam. All the same, it tin't spam Draco Meteor without quickly becoming useless, so keep your Ice-blazon moves handy. While Lance's Pokemon still all have 4x weaknesses, it'south much harder to utilize them at present due to the improved versatility of Lance'due south movesets. A Steel-type would be useful here to protect against the Dragon-blazon moves, simply they need to watch out for the Fire ones. Information technology's also helpful to lay Stealth Stone on the field considering all of Lance'south Pokemon except Garchomp are weak confronting Stone-blazon moves. Don't be afraid to use your healing items to gain an border confronting Lance. He is difficult.
