r B4, after the elevator stops, go to the southwest and get the Iron, now defeat the 2 trainers that you passed and talk to the black suited man holding the Silph Scope.
Vs. Giovanni
Giovanni has 2 ground type Pokemon, including a Ryhorn and an Onix, he also has a Persian, a team of water/grass and fighting Pokemon will fit perfectly, use the water/grass Pokemon against the ground Pokemon, and the fighting Pokemon against the Persian.
Celadon City
Go east to 7, be sure you have the bottle of water with you, go into the guard house leading to Saffron City, After you get into Saffron City, go north to the Fighting Dojo Gym, (the one to the left), put a psychic Pokemon in front, choose either Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee after you beat everyone, I chose Hitmonchan after experimenting with both. Head east to Lavender Town.
Lavender Town
Go into that big tower. If you did previously you will know you'll need the Silph Scope.
Pokemon Tower
Before you can do much, the annoying voice strikes again.
Vs. Gary
Our Buddy is now up to 5 Pokemon on his team, all ranging from levels 22-25. His team looks very balanced, yours will need to be to if you want to beat him!
Pokemon Tower
Make you way to the very top of the tower, and get the 7 items along the way. At the sixth floor, youll meet a Marowak, you cant capture this ground type Pokemon, so youll have to make it faint, use a water or grass Pokemon to fight against it, use the same types to fight against Cubones, youll face Jessie and James on the seventh floor, defeat them and rescue old Mr. Fuji, hell give you a Pokeflute
Saffron City
Go to the center of the city and into the big building
Silph. Co
Use the elevator to get to the 5th floor, go to the very south and get the Card Key, if your Pokemon need experience, seek every rocket/scientist/juggler there are in the building, but if you want to end this quickly, then go to the 3rd floor and go southwest, open the gate with the card key, go in and step on to the tile, and hey! Havent you learned to leave me alone Gary????
Vs. Gary
Even though you just fought, Gary's made big improvements to his team. You will notice that he has evolved his Eevee and his team is up to the 35-40 level range!
Saving the Day
Talk to the guy nearby to receive a Lapras, step on the tile at the bottom, defeat the rocket in your way, if you need medical help, go to the southwest corner on the 9th floor. Anyway, as soon as you open the door with the card key, out comes Giovanni.
Vs. Giovanni
Hes got 4 Pokemon this time, including high level Nidorans. Put a water Pokemon in the front and you should have no trouble, be cautious though since Giovanni's Pokemon are all in the 35-41 level range.
The Master Ball
Talk to the president, hell give you the master ball, theres only 1 like it in the game, like they say, save it for a very special Pokemon.
Mr.Psychics House
At the southeast corner of the city, hell give you TM 29, which teaches psychic. Teach it to Mr. Mime and with Light Screen and Barrier you should have a very high-powered Pokemon!
.
Copycats House
To the very northwest of the city, at the second story, be sure you have a pokedoll with you, if you do, copycat will give you TM 31, which teaches mimic.
Saffron City Gym
Step on the first warp tile and keep on stepping on the tile that's above or below you to get to the next room, sooner or later youll get to a large room with a girl in it, this is Sabrina.
Vs. Sabrina
Sabrina has a level 50 Abra, level 50 Kadabra, and a level 50 Alakazam. I had a hard time with Sabrina using Blastoise, so I switched to Dugtrio and kept on using earthquake, be sure to have a lot of potions, if you have a Charizard, get it to level 45 and keep on using slash, itll finish them with 2 or 3 strikes each (might be more with Kadabra or Alakazam because of their move recover), if you have Venasaur, keep on using razor leaf, except on Venomoth, on which you should use Flareon instead. When youve beaten Sabrina, youll get the Marsh Badge and TM 46, which teaches Psywave.
Routes 12-15
After getting your 5th badge, head back to Lavender Town, then head south, be sure to pick up the super rod on route 12, youll see some grass fields, you can capture some new Pokemon the ever elusive Farfetch'd. Dont forget to get TM 20 and iron, also a little gift from Oaks aid. There are lots of bikers (poison Pokemon), and bird catchers (the name say it) around here too, easy if you have a well trained Pikachu and a well trained Kadabra/Dugtrio. Oh, and by the way, if you try to capture the Snorlax with the Pokeflute, save before you do it as you only get two chances in the game.
Fuchia City
The city is really a maze itself, to reach the pokecenter and the gym, youll have to head to the west of the city, not out of it, and follow the little path leading south, visit the gym right after the pokecenter.
Fuchsia City Gym
If you look closely at the screen, youll see tiny dotted lines. This is the invisible wall, go around it and finally reach Koga. There will be a few trainers, I had problems with Hypno, took about 60 HP from me with 2 Head butts. Funny that this gym calls themselves ninja trainers, they train psychic and poison Pokemon, maybe they should try out for Sabrinas gym instead.
Vs. Koga
Koga is at the very middle of the gym, he will send out three Venonats and a level 50 Venemoth. A Kadabra/Alakazam or a Dugtrio will make this a pretty short fight. Beat him, the Soul Badge and TM 06 (toxic) is yours.
Safari Zone
Its at the very north of the city, there will be at least 15 species of different Pokemon, as well as some Pokemon that can only be captured in the Safari Zone. Just so you know Exeggcute, Marowak, Tangela, Kangaskhan, Tauros, and Dragonair can only be found here! Youll also find the Wardens Gold Teeth and HM Surf. Give warden his gold teeth and hell award you with HM Strength, so you can move, say, that boulder in the wardens house? Get some ultra balls at the pokemart too.
Routes 16-18
Capture a Raticate and a Fearow on the way, before you go to Cycing Road make sure you have the Bicycle and the Pokeflute. Along the way if you need a "break" with your fingers and your bike, press B to stop. If you have already gotten rid of or have captured the Snorlax in the way, then cut the bush blocking the way north. Now keep on going west, youll see a little house with a girl inside, talk to her and shell give you HM Fly (go back to any city youve visited already). Head towards Cerulean City now.
Cerulean City
Be sure to have a Pokemon with Surf and a Pokemon who has Fly with you, head east towards Rock Tunnel. Before Rock Tunnel, head towards the edge of the river to the north and dive into the water using surf, keep on paddling towards the south until you reach a big building, this is the power plant.
The Power Plant
Put a Dugtrio in front. Be sure to get a Magnemite and a Magneton if you can, as well as Muk and Grimer. Make your way through, getting the rare candy, carbos, HP UP, and TM 33/TM 25. Be careful, lots of the items on the floor are actually level 40 Voltorbs. At the near end of the power plant youll come across a bird looking Pokemon
..
Vs. Zapdos
Save before you meet this guy, you should not have any problems with Zapdos, just get his energy down and throw ultra balls at it, it took me 2 tries to get him, I think he is the easiest out of the 3 legendary birds. Exit and fly back to Fuchsia City.
Sea Route 19
Head south of Fuchsia City. There are lots of trainers here, but no problems for you. Keep on heading south west until you reach an island with 2 cave entrances, go into the one that you can.
Seafoam Islands
As you are descending through the levels, push the boulders into the pit, the idea is to block the river below so that you dont get washed away. At the 3rd level, push 2 boulders down to the 4th level, jump in after them. Youll land in the water, head north until you see Articuno, another bird.
Vs. Articuno
I had problems with this guy, I got its health all the way down, but I always miss with my ultra ball, took me about 10 ultra balls before I caught him. If you have trouble try using Sleep or Paralyze attacks to make it easier to capture!
Sea Route 20
After you get out of the islands, head west and youll reach Cinnibar Island. The gym is locked, wonder if theres a key
..
Cinnibar Island
Go to the pokecenter (located in the south) and the pokemart (right beside the pokecenter). Withdraw the Fossil and Old Amber, give it to the Scientist in the 3rd door at the Pokemon Lab (southwest corner of the island). Now head to Pokemon Mansion (northwest corner).
Pokemon Mansion
Flip on switches inside statues as you make your way up. At he 3rd floor, flip on the switch at the statue and head south, jump off the ledge in the middle. Defeat a nearby trainer and head northeast, the Secret Key, however, is at the western section, so youll have to make your west, when youve gotten the secret key, dig out of there. Go to the Pokemon gym.
Cinnibar City Gym
Youll have to challenge trainers to open doors, after a while, youll see old man Blaine.
Vs. Blaine
Blaines Pokemon are pretty hot stuff, but you can take care of them with a water or rock Pokemon. He has a level 48 Ninetails, a level 50 Rapidash, a level 54 Arcanine. Articuno should mow thru these guys. After you defeat him, youll be awarded with the Volcano Badge and TM 38, which teaches fire blast.
Sea Route 21
Head north of Cinnibar Island and use surf, go all the way back to Viridian City, put a water or grass Pokemon in front and head into the gym, you know, the one that you couldnt go into before.
Viridian City Gym
This is just like the game corner, with all the arrow pointing things, go on the one to the north, and make your way to the 8th trainer, and its
Vs. ????????
Giovanni!!! Giovanni??? The leader of Team Rocket? A team of grass and water Pokemon, will make this a short fight. Talk to Giovanni after you beat he and receive the Earth Badge and TM 27 (Fissure), hell disband Team Rocket and dedicate his studies to the world of Pokemon
Route 22
Weve been on this route before, and um, oh no, not again
Vs. Gary
You think hed learned his lesson already, but noooooo. Use this to test your team for the Elite Four, if this match is easy you are in good shape!
Route 23
If you have all 8 badges, youll get to an entrance at the end, this is victory road.
Victory Road
Youll find Moltres, among Machokes and Marowaks, in the range of Lv40-Lv50. Push boulders onto the little round things to open up passages. To reach Moltres, youll have to get to the third floor first, then you will have to go down through the ladder at the northwestern corner of the 3rd floor. To get out, youll first have to move a boulder onto the switch at the southern part of the second floor, then go up the stairs on the right and keep on going right.
Vs. Moltres
This guy is as easy as Zapdos, get his energy down to a minimum and throw ultra balls at it.
Indigo Plateau
This is the last place to heal your pokemon and to stock up on items. Save before you enter the door to the elite 4. There is no going back after you enter.
The Elite 4
Vs. Lorelei
With the exception of Jynx, a well trained Pikachu using his best electric attack should be fine. Use a fire Pokemon against Jynx.
Vs. Bruno
Arguably the easiest of the elite 4, he has 2 Onixes and 3 other fighting Pokemon. Use a flying or psychic Pokemon against the fighting Pokemon and water or grass against the onixes.
Vs. Agatha
They say that she wields ghost Pokemon, I say she wields poison Pokemon, 1 or 2 psychic attacks will send them to the afterlife.
Vs. Lance
If you had raised Articuno a few levels, its ice beam will make losers of Lances Dragons, start with Pikachu against Gyarados and the legendary ice bird should do the rest!
Well we find out that someone has reached the elite 4 before us, and it is none other than
Vs. ????
Gary!!! He starts off with Sandslash, Alakazam, and Exeggutor. If you beat him the first two match-ups his final three will be Cloyster, Ninetales, and Jolteon. If you lost the second battle he will use Magnemite, Cloyster, and Flareon. Finally if you lost both matches he will use Ninetales, Magnemite, and Vaporeon. You may have a problem with Ninetales Fire Spin attack, I had to use Charizard because he is strong versus fire and had to wait for Fire Spin to miss.
Congratulations, youve beaten Gary!!! You are now the undisputed Pokemon Master!!! Professor Oak inducts you and your Pokemon into the hall of fame!!!
The Unknown Dungeon
Head towards route 24 (north of Cerulean City), jump into the water to the south and start swimming until you reach the entrance, be sure to have the master ball with you, there are many Pokemon in here. At the basement, you will meet Mewtwo, throw the master ball at it. Good luck!!!
