Pokemon Gold/Silver Walkthrough - Part 4 - Childrens Pages - http://maxpages.com/grimer/Gold_walkthrough_part

isn't where he was in the Red and Blue versions of the game. Go to the very right-hand side of the room and you will see a guy in black pants and a blue headband, he sort of looks like the girl trainers. Challenge him.

Koga isn't bad as long as you have some poison cures. Use ground and psychic Pokémon. Houou seems to be effective, but you might want to try your strongest Pokémon. Don't underestimate him though, he can be a pain.

Once you've defeated him, fly back to Vermillion city, where Lt. Surge lives. Go to the lower right-hand corner of town where you'll find a sleeping snorlax blocking a cave. Go to the menu and choose the fourth option, the Poké watch. Select the radio icon and you will see a radio station selector. Go to the very last station, station 20. You should hear music, it is the Pokéflute station. If you hear nothing, it means that you didn't get the upgrade back in Lavender town. Read the walkthrough on it at Misty's chapter. If you do hear music, press the B button twice. The music should still be playing. You might want to save your game here. Now, walk up to the snorlax and talk to him, he will awaken to challenge you. Snorlax is very rare as only one exists, so catching him is a one time deal.

The hardest part about catching him is trying to lower his HP while not K.O.ing him, you have to watch out for his powerful attacks and life refilling sleep move also. Once you get it within a sliver, throw out as many Pokéballs as you have. You can't put him to sleep, so concentrate on capturing him and playing your chances of containing him. Don't use fire or poison attacks, he might get burned or poisoned. It took me a couple times to capture it.

Once you have either caught it or passed and just KO'd snorlax, enter the cave. Known as Diglett's Cave, it houses many digletts and dugtrios. You can try to catch one if you wish. Their dig attack is particularly effective.

Simply follow the path, nothing hard at all. Once outside, you'll find a bush to the left, cut it and proceed north. Welcome to Pewter city, home of Brock. Heal up and jet on over to the gym above the Poké Center. There, you'll find Brock.

Brock

Lv 41 Graveler

Lv 42 Omastar

Lv 44 Onix

Lv 42 Kabutops

Lv 41 Rhydon

Time to break out those water Pokémon like the red gyarados. Use mainly water attacks like surf or hydro pump. Hyper beam is effective also. Plant Pokémon also work fine. If you have mainly fire or electric Pokémon, you might have some trouble.

Now, on to the next challenger. To the right of town, you'll find a pathway leading east. Follow it to a cave. Upon entry, that red haired guy will challenge you.

Captain Butt Munch

Rival

Lv 41 Nyuura

Lv 42 Golbat

Lv 41 Magneton

Lv 43 Gengar

Lv 43 Alakazam

Lv 45 Bakufun

This guy never gives up. He uses the same strategy and has his bases covered in terms of Pokémon types. You might have to switch Pokémon mid-battle. You should be able to blow through his line-up with only minor problems.

Now, leave the cave the way you came and return to Pewter city, the cave you are in right now only leads to Cerulean city. Once in Pewter city, go south, down the trail, past the winding trees and continue south until you find a city called Viridian city. Giovanni is long gone and his gym is empty. You can go to the building at the upper left of the Poké Shop and go downstairs to fight yourself. Your duplicate uses three Level 50 Pokémon, Bakufun, Meganimu, and Odairu. Not a hard challenge, just make sure you are strong enough and you should win easily. No real treat for winning, just training and you can only do it a few times.

When you're ready, head south to Pallet Town, home of the Red/Blue/Yellow/Green star Ash! No flash photography please. Anyhoo, Ash isn't there, he's off on a Pokémon journey at the moment. Instead, head south until you reach an ocean outlet. Use swim and swim down until you reach an island. There, talk to the guy standing to the upper left-hand side of the Poké Center. Talk to him and he will disappear, it was Gary. After you've talked to him, swim east and swim until you find another island, only smaller. You will find a cave, enter it. Inside awaits Blaine. Challenge him.

Blaine

Lv 45 Magukaruga

Lv 45 Magmar

Lv 50 Rapidash

Nothing too bad, once again, time to break out the water Pokémon. Red gyarados, again, works dandy and so does Houou if you taught it fly. You should beat him easily after your bout with Lance.

Now, fly back to Viridian City and go to where Giovanni's gym used to be. It is a gym in the northeastern side of town. Inside, it looks like Lego supplied the decorations. Go north and find Gary. If you don't see him, it means that you didn't talk to him back at the island. If you do see him, challenge him to a fight.

Gary

Lv 56 Pidgeotto

Lv 54 Alakazam

Lv 56 Rhydon

Lv 58 Gyarados

Lv 58 Exeggutor

Lv 59 Arcanine

Gary is tough. 'Nuff said. You are going to have to change around your line-up many times during battle. I used mainly Houou and the red gyarados and beat him after a bit. Make sure you have a well rounded line-up to match his just in case you're having trouble. If you keep having trouble, it's time to train your Pokémon more. My strongest Pokémon was at level 58 or so, my Houou was at level 51 and the rest were waaaaaay behind, but I was in a hurry and my strategy doesn't include a strong offense.

Once you beat him, go back to Pallet town and go to the building at the south end of town. Inside, you'll find Professor Oak in the back. Talk to him and he will rate your Pokédex. make sure that you talk to him, it is necessary. Now, return to Viridian city.

Once in Viridian city, go to the left of town and you'll find a walkway leading west, follow it to a check-in station. Once inside, go west where you'll find a passageway leading west. The pathway was previously blocked by a guard. Once you go down the path and enter through the door, you will find yourself on another trail. Head west until you see a Poké center. This is a good place to heal up your Pokémon before the ultimate battle. Make sure you have lots of repellants, because you don't want to be weakened by wild Pokémon before the battle. There are numerous highly trained wild Pokémon lurking about.

To the left of the Poké center, you will find a cave, enter it. Use flash to see better. Go to the northeastern corner of the room where you will find another cave entrance, enter it. Follow the trail north, where you'll find another cave entrance, enter it. Keep going up until you find a boy with his back turned to you. It is Ash. Get your items and Pokémon in check for the battle of your life!

Ash

Lv 81 Pikachu

Lv 77 Blastoise

Lv 73 Eefi

Lv 77 Snorlax

Lv 77 Venusaur

Lv 77 Charizard

Most of you should be able to make it through Pikachu, Blastoise and Eefi easily, but Snorlax was totally unexpected. He is very powerful, has an amazingly high HP and can sleep to refill his HP bar. No use putting him to sleep. I couldn't get by him, my strongest attacks didn't do as much as it did to the others. My Pokémon line-up was: a lv 60 red gyarados, a lv 53 Houou, a lv 7 Uupa, a lv 4 Otachi, a lv Hoo Hoo and a level 33 Butterfree. I clearly needed a new battle plan. While walking around, I battled a wild Lv 45 Muuma. Something hit me, Snorlax uses physical attacks and what doesn't effect a ghost Pokémon? Physical attacks! I went back to challenge Ash again, this time with a new battle plan. I used Houou to knock out Pikachu without a scratch, Ash kept using potions on Pikachu, the red gyarados on Blastoise, hyper beam was effective. I used the red gyarados again on the Eefi and up came snorlax. I quickly switched to Muuma and let Snorlax try his physical attacks, proving worthless as planned. Now, I had a moment to regroup. I used his inability to hit Muuma to refresh any downed or injured Pokémon. I then used confusion, hp drain, and switched to Gyarados. Snorlax would only be confused for two more rounds, so I moved fast. I used a hyper beam before he lost confusion, then landed one more hyper beam before Gyarados was taken out. I switched back to Muuma and hit him with another confusion. He hit himself, knocking his HP down to 1 pixel width and I finished him off with a psychic blast.

Ah, it's all downhill from here. I switched to my Houou and fire blasted Venusaur back to the cold age and when Charizard stepped out, I used fly. Fire attacks would be worthless, but wind is another story. Three hits later and he was KO'd. I beat Ash.

After another ending, make sure to save your game. Now, nothing much to do except fill up that Pokédex.

You can catch the second mystical bird. If you have gold, you can catch Lugia and if you have Silver you can catch Houou! Simply go to Pewter city and talk to the old man, somewhere in Pewter city. He will give you a feather, depending on which version you have, either gold or silver feathers. Now, go back to the walkthrough on catching the mystical bird and have fun! However, if you saved up your masterball, you will be better off. These birds are at Lv 70 now and are tough to beat. You might want to cast your most powerful attack first, put it to sleep and gradually knock off chunks of its HP, then throw some ultraballs. You should have a tough battle, but it's well rewarded!

Anyhoo, good job on a game well played.

The End! Fin! Finito! El...end! Go Away!
