Pokemon Yellow FAQ PG 2 - Pokemon - http://maxpages.com/pkmnyellowgs/Pokemon_Yellow_FAQ_PG

Now exit, and head to the
Celadon Department Store. Go to the very top floor, activate the
vending machines, and buy 2 Fresh Waters, 1 Lemonade, and 1 Soda Pop.
Give 1 of each to the girl walking around and she'll give you TM 13, TM
48, and TM 49. Teach Wartortle TM 13, which is Ice Beam. This is why
you will use Wartortle against Erika. Grass Pokémon have a weakness to
Ice attacks. You now have two choices:
1) Trade over a Magmar from a Blue version of Pokémon (recommended).
2) Buy a Vulpix from the Game Corner (if you can't trade).
If you trade a Magmar, you won't be able to use it on Erika because it
won't obey you. If you buy a Vulpix, use it on Erika, along with
Wartortle. Erika's Gym is on the last line of buildings on the left of
the city. You'll have to use CUT to get there. (Note: It is a good
idea to also teach Sandslash TM 48-Rock Slide.)
Rainbow Badge:
Effect: all Pokémon up to level 50 obey, use STRENGTH anytime
There are a few trainers here. Level up Vulpix on them, or, if you're
using Magmar, just use Wartortle. Now, it's off to fight Erika.
Pokémon: Lv. 29 Tangela-Mega Drain, Vine Whip, Bind, Constrict
Lv. 32 Weepinbell-Acid, Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore
Lv. 32 Gloom-Acid, Petal Dance, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore
TM Prize: TM 21-Mega Drain
Again, use Wartortle's Ice Beam until it dies. Then, just use
Primeape. Primeape's high attack can defeat them easily. Teach Gloom
Mega Drain when you get it.
Now that you've done all of that, you have to go to the slot machines
building (it's to the left of the pond). GO inside and walk to the
back of the room. You should see a Rocket standing there with his back
to you. Talk to him and fight him. When you beat him, he'll move
away. Activate the poster he was pressing to open a secret door to the
right. You've now entered the Rocket base at the…

Game Corner
-----------
Items: Hyper Potion, Super Potion, Moon Stone, Rare Candy, Nugget,
TM 10, Escape Rope, Silph Scope, Lift Key, Iron, TM 07, TM 02
Pokémon: none
Trainers: Team Rocket members, including Jesse and James, plus, Boss
Rocket, Giovanni
Getting through this place can be kind of a pain. Level up anyone that
you need to. For Giovanni, you'll need to use your Primeape and/or
either your Gloom or Wartortle. You should work on getting Blastoise
here mostly, but if you don't get him, wait until Saffron City. Here's
a short guide to getting through here if you don't want to fight all of
the Rockets:
1) Go directly right onto the stairs next to you.
2) Go down, then go left.
3) When you see the Rocket walking around, go up to a set of stairs.
4) There will be a "maze" that you'll have to get through in this
room. It's not quite as difficult as the other one will be.
5) When you get to the end, go on the stairs.
6) Now go up and left. Fight the Rocket member there, and talk to him
after you defeat him. He'll drop the Lift Key.
7) Return to the area that number 3 is remarking to.
8) Go through the other "maze" and into the elevator.
9) Ride the elevator to B 4.
10) Fight Jesse and James. They'll have an Arbok, a Weezing, and a
Meowth. No sweat.
11) Enter the room that opens when you beat them.
12) BATTLE: Giovanni
Pokémon: Lv. 25 Onix
Lv. 24 Rhyhorn
Lv. 29 Persian
You can use Primeape's Low Kick on every one of these for
an easy victory.
When you defeat Giovanni, he'll drop the Silph Scope. You'll need
this very soon.
Return now to…

Lavender Town
-------------
Enter the Pokémon Tower (the large tower to the right of the city).

The Pokémon Tower
-----------------
Items: Escape Rope, Awakening, Elixer, HP Up, Nugget, X Accuracy, Rare
Candy
Pokémon: Gastly, Haunter, Cubone, Marowak (ONE)
Trainers: Many, including Gary and Team Rocket
The ghosts here are a pain in the butt. Only special attacks affect
them. Grass attacks are pointless, along with Fighting and Normal.
You should evolve Wartortle into a Blastoise here, and you should work
on Magmar or Vulpix, whichever one you chose. Remember the Silph
Scope? This is where you need it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to
defeat the ghosts. There is a healing area for your Pokémon on the
fifth floor. Use it as many times as necessary. When you reach the
end, right before you step onto the stairs, a level 30 Marowak will
attack you. You cannot capture this Marowak since it is a ghost.
Defeat him and go upstairs. Jesse and James will attack you with their
Arbok, Meowth, and Weezing. They're as easy as always. Walk up and
talk to the man, who is Mr. Fuji, who was missing from Lavender Town.
Out of gratitude for trying to find him, he'll give you the PokéFlute.
Keep this with you at all times. It will instantly wake any active
Pokémon that is asleep. Now head west to…

Saffron City
------------
There's a lot to do here, too. When you enter the outside gate, the
guard will stop you. This is what you need the Fresh Water for. He'll
take the water and let you through to the city. First, go down to the
last line of buildings and into the Mr. Psychic's house. Talk to him
and he'll give you TM 29, Psychic. Teach it to Magmar. Now go to the
top line of buildings. You'll see 2 gyms. The larger one is Sabrina's
Psychic Gym, which is also being guarded by a Rocket. Go inside the
smaller one. It is a fighting gym and is very easy to beat. Use it to
level up your Pokémon. When you win, you can choose from two fighting
Pokémon, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. I recommend choosing Hitmonlee.
His attack is much higher and he learns better moves. If you want, you
can replace Primeape with Hitmonlee. Both are near equal in power.
Now, head to the Silph Co. building, which is the tall building in the
middle of the city.

Silph Co.
---------
Items: TM 36, Hyper Potion, Escape Rope, Max Revive, Full Heal, TM 09,
Card Key, Protein, HP Up, X Accuracy, Calcium, TM 03, TM 26, Rare
Candy, Carbos, Master Ball (ONE)
Pokémon: Lapras
Trainers: Team Rocket, including Jesse and James and Giovanni,
Scientists, and Gary
Getting through here is pretty straightforward. If you don't have a
Vileplume yet, do your best to raise Gloom to level 38 when it learns
Petal Dance and then evolve it. If you want Solarbeam that badly,
you'll have to wait. There's a TM for Solarbeam (TM 22) on Cinnibar
Island. Also get Blastoise if you have yet to do so. If you're using
Vulpix, you should evolve it at level 35 when it learns Flamethrower.
Here's another step-by-step trail of the area. It is the quickest
route, but I recommend that you still fight all the trainers. Note:
On the ninth floor, there is a woman that will let you rest for free.
You need to have the Card Key to get there.
1) Go to the fifth floor.
2) Go as far left as possible and all the way down until you approach a
Rocket next to a warp. Take the warp, then immediately re-enter the
warp and walk down. You should now be facing the Rocket mentioned
above.
3) Waste the Rocket.
4) Go right until you find the Card Key. Exit the same way you did as
in #2.
5) Next, go to the third floor.
6) Walk down until you come to the very first Rocket (he cannot be
avoided).
7) Waste the Rocket.
8) You'll see a door to your left. Open it.
9) There will be a warp inside of that area. Take it.
10) You'll now enter an area where you will see Gary at the bottom
and a guy to the left.
11) Waste Gary.
12) BATTLE: Gary
13) Pokémon:
If Gary chooses Jolteon:
Lv. 38 Sandslash
Lv. 35 Ninetales
Lv. 37 Cloyster
Lv. 35 Kadabra
Lv. 40 Jolteon
If Gary chooses Vaporeon:
Lv. 38 Sandslash
Lv. 35 Magneton
Lv. 37 Ninetales
Lv. 35 Kadabra
Lv. 40 Vaporeon
This battle is really easy, but if your Pokémon are not high
enough, you'll get your butt kicked but good. Use Blastoise on
Sandslash and Ninetales, Pikachu on Cloyster, and Sandslash on Kadabra
and Jolteon.
14) Talk to the guy. He'll give you Lapras once you beat Gary.
15) Take the warp at the bottom of the area.
16) Walk down. You will encounter Jesse and James for the last time
in the entire game :(. They were so easy too! Oh well. They still
don't have a Persian. Idiocy.
17) Waste Jesse and James.
18) Go right and up and through the door. You'll run into Giovanni.
19) Waste Giovanni.
BATTLE: Giovanni
Pokémon: Lv. 37 Nidorino
Lv. 35 Persian
Lv. 37 Rhyhorn
Lv. 41 Nidoqueen
Use anything that need experience on Nidorino, Primeape's Low
Kick on Rhyhorn and Persian, and Blastoise on Nidoqueen.
20) Talk to the president (the guy in the chair) once you beat
Giovanni. He'll give you the Master Ball, which will catch any
Pokémon at anytime. Since you only get one, I recommend you save
this for Mewtwo.
21) Exit.
There, now wasn't that the most annoying thing you have ever done?
Don't worry, it gets worse.
You've now got a choice. You can try to battle Sabrina (I stress TRY),
or you can travel to Fuchsia City to battle Koga. I'm going to put
Sabrina first since she's in Saffron City.
Marsh Badge:
Effect: all Pokémon up to level 70 obey
Pokémon: Lv. 50 Abra (!) FLASH, ?, ?, ?, ?
Lv. 50 Kadabra (!!) Kinesis, Psybeam, Psywave, Recover
Lv. 50 Alakazam (!@#$%) Psychic, Psywave, Reflect, Recover
TM Prize: TM 46-Psywave
The quickest way to get through her gym is to take the warp that is
always above or below the one you've landed on.
Do NOT USE VILEPLUME. It is weak against Psychic. Use anything you
can. This battle is VERY frustrating. Use Ninetales or Magmar with
Confuse Ray. Also Blastoise's Ice Beam helps; you may end up freezing
them. That's how I beat Alakazam. Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Thunder
are effective as well. The best things to use are regular attacks,
because they seem to have some kind of resistance to many special
attacks. You will probably not beat them on the first try. Good luck!
E-mail me if you need further advice or assistance.
Once you beat Sabrina, you've got another choice. You can take either
Cycling Road, which is west of Celadon City, or Routes 12-15, which are
south of Lavender Town. Cycling Road is the easier of the 2 paths, but
the trainers there have more powerful Pokémon. The choice is yours and
yours alone. Coverage of both of these areas is in the Side Areas
section. Both of these lead to…

Fuchsia City
------------
Again, there's a lot to do here. The Safari Zone is here, where you
can catch different kinds of Pokémon without using your Pokémon to
weaken them. Here's something you must do. Enter the Safari Zone
(which costs $500). You'll find yourself in the area known as the
Entrance. Go up and right into Area 1. Go left, up the ladder-thingy,
left, down the ladder-thingy, left, up to another ladder-thingy, right,
down the ladder-thingy, right, up, left, down, left, and into Area 2.
Go left, up the ladder-thingy (not the one by the sign), left, down,
down the ladder-thingy, left, up, right, up, left, down, and into Area
3. Take the very first item ball you see, and you should get the Gold
Teeth. Now, go left, and into the house. Talk to the guy and he'll
give you HM 03, Surf. Teach it to Blastoise. I know that's very
vague, but I'll post everything else on the Safari Zone in the Side
Areas section at a later date.
The next thing you should probably do is go battle Koga in the gym,
which is right by the PokéCenter.
Soul Badge:
Effect: Use SURF anytime
Pokémon: Lv. 44 Venonat Toxic, Sleep Powder, Psychic, Tackle
Lv. 46 Venonat Toxic, Psybeam, Supersonic, Psychic
Lv. 48 Venonat Psychic, Toxic, Double-Edge, Sleep Powder
Lv. 50 Venomoth Toxic, Double Team, Psychic, Leech Life
TM Prize; TM 06-Toxic
I killed the Venonats too fast to see their moves. Venomoth wouldn't
do anything else. Use fire on each one, no problem.
Remember the Gold Teeth? You need those now. To the right of the
PokéCenter you should see 2 houses, side-by-side. Enter the one on the
left and talk to the guy there. When you give him the Gold Teeth,
he'll give you HM 04, Strength. Teach this to Sandslash. Using
Strength, push the boulder in front on the Item Ball away. Inside of
the Item Ball is a Rare Candy.
Enter the house next to this one and go out the back door. Using the
Super Rod, fish in the pond. You can catch Magikarp, and sometimes,
you'll find a Gyarados. Catch them if you want.
Now, you should Fly back to Pallet Town and use Surf to move through
the water, south to Cinnibar Island. You could've surfed from Fuchsia
City, but you would have to go through the Seafoam Islands.

Route 21
--------
This is the route you travel as you move south of Pallet Town.
Items: None
Pokémon: Pidgey. Pidgeotto, Rattata, Raticate, Tentacool (in water)
Trainers: many, they all use water-type Pokémon
Just level up Pikachu or Vileplume here, whichever one needs it more.
Keep going south to reach…

Cinnibar Island
---------------
You'll see the Gym right away, but if you try to go in, it will say the
door is locked. More on that later.
By the way, do you remember the fossil you got in Mt. Moon? You can
revive it here. Same with the Old Amber from Pewter City. You can
revive that too. Go to the building to the left of the PokéCenter. If
you go right (inside of the building) you will see three doors. Go in
the second one and talk to the scientist in the upper right hand corner
and he'll give you TM 35 (Metronome). Exit, then enter the third door.
Talk to the scientist that is walking around. Give him your fossil,
then exit the building. Go right back in and your fossil will be
Kabuto (if you chose the Dome Fossil) or Omanyte (if you chose the
Helix Fossil). Now, give him the Old Amber and repeat. When you
return, the Old Amber will be Aerodactyl, a powerful rock/flying
Pokémon.
Now, go into the PokéMart and buy an Escape Rope.
See that large building to the left of the Gym? Go inside.

The Pokémon Mansion
-------------------
Items: Escape Rope, Carbos, Calcium, Iron, Max Potion, Rare Candy, TM
22, Full Restore, Secret Key, TM 14
Pokémon: Grimer, Muk, Rattata, Raticate, Growlithe, Ditto
Trainers: the Burglars use fire-type and the Scientists use electric
This place is a pain. Enemies and trainers constantly attack you.
Here's the quick way outta here:
1) As soon as you enter, go up and onto the set of stairs.
2) Now go right (not up the stairs), up, and left into a room with 2
beds at the bottom and stairs at the top.
3) Go down and right. You'll see a statue. Activate it and choose
"yes".
4) Now go right a little and down as far as you can. Enter the doorway
thingy.
5) You'll see 2 holes at the bottom. Go down the first one that you
see.
6) You will land on the first floor. Go left, all the way down, then
right to a staircase.
7) Now go up, left a little, down through the doorway, and activate the
statue there. Choose "yes". You'll also see an Item Ball. Get it,
it's TM 14, Blizzard. Teach it to Blastoise.
8) Exit the other doorway that was previously blocked and return to the
staircase that you took to get in here, but don't go on it.
9) Go right, up, then into the room with three beds and a statue.
Activate the statue and choose "yes". Now go out and left.
10) When you reach the end, go down. Pick up the Item Ball and you
will get the Secret Key.
11) Remember the TM for Solarbeam? You get it here. It's on the
table outside of the room with the Secret Key. Teach it to
Vileplume, if you want (I didn't).
12) Remember the Escape Rope I told you to buy? Use it now. There
is no other way out.
Wasn't that a major pain? Back to the outside.

Cinnibar Island
---------------
With the Secret Key, you can unlock the door to the Gym. Do so now.
Volcano Badge:
Effect: raises special a little
Getting through here can be confusing. You'll see a small box in every
area that has a trainer in it. Activate the small box and you'll be
asked a question. Answer it correctly and the door will open without
having to battle. Answer incorrectly and you will have to fight the
trainer.
BATTLE: Blaine
Pokémon: Lv. 48 Ninetales-Confuse Ray, Flamethrower, Tail Whip, Quick
Attack
Lv. 50 Rapidash-Growl, Stomp, Fire Spin, ?
Lv. 54 Arcanine-Fire Blast, Take Down, Reflect, Flamethrower
TM Prize: TM 38-Fire Blast
Use Blastoise. 'Nuff said here.
This is all for Cinnibar Island. Fly back to…

Viridian City
-------------
If you tried to enter the Gym at the beginning of the game, you'll find
that you couldn't. Try again. You can enter it now. One final badge
to get, then it's off to the Elite Four!
Earth Badge:
Effect: ALL POKéMON OBEY!!!
Pokémon: Lv. 50 Dugtrio-Sand-Attack, Earthquake, Fissure, Dig
Lv. 53 Persian-Slash, Screech, Fury Swipes, Double Team
Lv. 53 Nidoqueen-Thunder, Tail Whip, Earthquake, Double Kick
Lv. 53 Nidoking-Thunder, Earthquake, Thrash, Leer
Lv. 55 Rhydon-Rock Slide, Fury Attack, Horn Drill, Earthquake
TM Prize: TM 27-Fissure
Blastoise can defeat them all, but Thunder from Nidoking and Nidoqueen
WILL take him out. Use Psychic or Ground moves on them. I will not
lie to you. This battle is TOUGH. Vileplume can beat Dugtrio and
Rhydon, and Primeape's Low Kick can beat Persian.
Now, go down a little and head back to the west, onto…

Route 22
--------
This leads to the Pokémon League, but you encounter Gary again.
BATTLE: Gary
Pokémon:
If Gary chooses Jolteon:
Lv. 47 Sandslash
Lv. 45 Exeggcute
Lv. 45 Ninetales
Lv. 47 Cloyster
Lv. 50 Kadabra
Lv. 53 Jolteon
If Gary chooses Vaporeon:
Lv. 47 Sandslash
Lv. 45 Exeggcute
Lv. 45 Magneton
Lv. 47 Ninetales
Lv. 50 Kadabra
Lv. 53 Vaporeon
Easy battle. Use Blastoise on Sandslash and Ninetales. Use Vileplume,
Pikachu, or Primeape on Cloyster. Use Sandslash on Jolteon,
Magmar/Ninetales on Exeggcute, and anything on Kadabra (Sandslash is
probably the best bet).
Now, keep going west. It's time for the Pokémon League, but first, the
most annoying cave in the game…

Victory Road
------------
Items: Max Revive, Full Heal, TM 05, TM 17, TM 43, TM 47, Rare Candy,
Guard Spec.
Pokémon: Zubat, Golbat, Geodude, Graveler, Onix, Machop, Machoke,
Marowak
Ah, yes, the road to victory. Well, victory is a pain in the @$$!!!!!!
Before you go on, make sure that you have someone with Surf and
Strength, you'll need them. Before the actual dreaded cave, there are
8 guards asking to see your badges. If you don't have one of the
badges you can't go through. Well, onto the dreaded cave.
Like I said, you'll need Strength to push boulders around onto
switches. The steps to get through will be listed in the usual step-
by-step format. And remember, if you mess up with a boulder, you can
exit and re-enter again or go up a ladder and back down (or vice versa)
to reposition the boulder where it is before you push it:
1) Push the first boulder you see to your right onto a switch.
2) You see a ladder near the entrance? Go up.
3) Go right. You'll see a boulder and 2 items. You can push the
boulder and get one of them, then exit and come back and get the
other. The item on top is TM 47, and the one on the left is a Rare
Candy. Now, go back up that ladder and towards that trainer.
4) BATTLE: Cool Trainer (f.)
Pokémon: Lv. 44 Persian
Lv. 44 Ninetales
