With the scope in hand, you can fight and try to capture these astral aggressors. Note that Normal and Fighting-type moves don't affect Ghost-type Pokémon at all, so use caution in battle. You'll have better luck catching a Gastly or a Haunter if you use Great Balls instead of regular Poké Balls. Yoou can also find some Cubone here too.}} | ||

The quickest path (should one have not gotten a Pokémon that can '''Fly''' from '''HM02''') is to go back to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 7-8|Route #7]], hand the guard a frosty beverage to end the baffling "Thirsty Guard" crisis, and then cut through [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Saffron City|Saffron City]] on your way East to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Lavender Town|Lavender Town]]. On your way through Saffron City, you might just want to stop in at the Poké Mart and grab a Super or Max Repel. The Repel is for the Tower, where you'll be assaulted by Gastly, and occasional Haunter.</big> | ||

If you're playing the Red or Blue cartridge, he might have an alternate lineup (a level 25 Pidgeotto, a level 23 Gyarados/Exeggcute/Growlithe, a level 22 Growlithe/Gyarados/Exeggcute, a level 20 Kadabra, and the Pokémon he chose at the beginning of the game). Gyarados is absent if you select Charmander, and your rival will have a level 23 Growlithe and a level 22 Exeggcute in his lineup. Exeggcute is absent if you select Squirtle, and your rival will have a level 23 Gyarados and a level 22 Growlithe in his lineup.

In the Yellow game, he'll be a little more formidable. Besides his Fearow, Shellder, Magnemite and/or Vulpix and Sandshrew, your rival will also use his Eevee, which he will soon evolve into a Flareon, Vaporeon or Jolteon.

In order to deal with the rival's Pokémon easily use the following on him. Use Electric attacks on the Gyarados (remember that it has a 4x weakness to them), Shellder, Wartortle, and the Flying-type Pokémon. Use Ice attacks (the recently acquired Ice Beam is an great option) on Exeggcute, Ivysaur, Sandshrew, and the Flying-type Pokémon. Use Water attacks on Growlithe, Vulpix, Charmeleon, and Sandshrew. Use Ground type attacks on the Magemite and use a powerful physical attack on Kadabra. | |||

Ghost-type Pokémon are completely invulnerable to Normal and Fighting moves, so many of your Pokémon's attacks will be useless here. Because of the only Ghost evolution line's secondary type, Poison, they are weak to Psychic and Ground-type moves. Anything that can use Dig, especially a speedy one like {{bp|Diglett}}, can pretty much get an instant K.O due to the Gastly and Haunter's poor defense stats. Pokémon like {{bp|Kadabra}} and {{bp|Drowzee}} are very powerful too. If you don't want to deal with lots of random encounters, just pop open the Max Repel... ''after'' you catch a {{bp|Gastly}} for yourself if you want. Many Channelers also lurk this tower, and they seem possessed. | |||

Elixirs restore 10 PP for all moves each.</big> | ||

Make sure you have some strong Pokémon for this fight! It should be a pretty easy battle if you have Water, Grass, Ice attacks. You cannot catch this Pokémon, as it will dodge any Poké Ball you throw its way, even a Master Ball! There is also a glitch where you can use a Poké Doll on the Ghost so you won't have to use the Silph Scope to fight it at all, allowing you to completely skip the [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]] if you want. | ||

They're weak to the powerful Psychic and Ground-type attacks, but their Normal and Fighting-type immunities more than make up for that minor inconvenience. They have very good offensive stats with a great Special stat and a top-notch Speed stat. The Gastly evolution line is similar to the Abra line with Special sweeper qualities but weak defenses (Abra is slightly better as a sweeper but Gastly is a little more sturdy). Gastly evolves into Haunter at level 25 and it is required to trade Haunter to evolve into the amazing Gengar. | |||
Gengar itself has a pretty good movepool. It learns useful status move such as Hypnosis and Confuse Ray while it can learn attacks such as Night Shade, Lick, and Dream Eater. Despite not so strong Ghost attacks, it also can learn useful special attacks such as Thunderbolt, Mega Drain, and Psychic. | |||
