{{sidebar|float=right|width=200px|title=Zap and Grab|contents=There's a Zapdos waiting near the Power Plant exit.  If you wish, you can defeat it to earn experience points, but since this is the only time you'll even see a Zapdos, we recommend trying to capture it.  This Pokémon is extremely difficult to snare, even if its energy is nearly gone, and typically nothing less than an Ultra Ball will do the job.  Putting Zapdos to Sleep will increase your chance of trapping it.}}
You don't have to beat the Power Plant to win the game, but the single level 50 {{bp|Zapdos}} at the end is incentive enough to make this short dungeon a must-visit before you challenge the Elite Four (and Red players won't want to miss their exclusive {{bp|Electabuzz}}).  Another good reason is '''TM 25''' which contains Electric's power technique, Thunder.
 
To get to the Power Plant, Fly to Cerulean City, then head east until you get to the river part of [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 9-10|Route #9]].  Use Surf, and you'll find the plant with little trouble.  A Pokémaniac waits outside the plant for any challenger with his {{bp|Rhyhorn}} and his {{bp|Lickitung}}.  Beat him to earn [[File:Pokebuck.png]]1500.
 
There's only one floor, but the enemies can be tiring.  Use a Max Repel or bring a lot of Grass and Ground-type Pokémon.  Dig is especially good, taking out just about anything in one hit.  And remember, all that glitters is not gold... Most of the item balls that you come across in the Power Plant are actually Voltorbs.  Only pick up the ones that are marked as items on the map!  There's also a hidden '''Max Elixir''' in the "middle" rectangular room if you go into the dead end all the way around the boxes, and a hidden '''PP UP''' in the dead end two rooms before Zapdos.
