==Trainer Battles Begin==
{|
|width="70%" valign="top"|When you return to Route #30 after completing your errand, trainers will attack you whenever you make eye contact.  As you can see from their rosters (to the right), their Pokémon are weak, but they can wear you down.  You can try to avoid them, but it's better to fight when you can: they're the best source of money and EXP in the game.
One new twist is the ability to trade phone numbers with certain trainers once you've defeated them in battle (they will say phone next to their rewards).  If you agree, they'll call you periodically to chat, challenge you to rematches, and most importantly, inform you of Pokémon "swarms."  Without that info, it's hard to catch Pokémon like {{bp|Dunsparce}} in the nearby [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Dark Cave|Dark Cave]].  A few, like Wade on [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Route 31|Route #31]], will even give you free items!

! style="background-color:#000;color:#fff;" width="50%" | #60 Poliwag
! style="background-color:#000;color:#fff;" width="50%" | #10 Caterpie
|-valign="top"
| [[Image:Pokemon 060Poliwag.png|left]] Poliwag are very common in Crystal, appearing at night in several overworld routes.  Poliwag isn't too impressive by itself, but if you evolve it into a {{bp|Poliwhirl}} you can then use a Water Stone or trade it with a King's Rock to get a powerful {{bp|Poliwrath}} or {{bp|Politoed}}.  But don't evolve it too early: Each of those forms can learn two exclusive moves, but none of them are anywhere near as good as the Hydro Pump that Poliwag and Poliwhirl would learn if you didn't evolve them until much later.
| [[Image:Pokemon 010Caterpie.png|right]] This Bug Pokémon reaches its highest form, Bug/Flying {{bp|Butterfree}}, at level 10.  The speedy evolution is nice, and Butterfree is useful for a while after it learns Confusion at level 10.  Unfortunately, its awkward mix of types and lack of other good early moves makes it a poor long-term choice.
|-
! style="background-color:#000;color:#fff;" | #13 Weedle
! style="background-color:#000;color:#fff;" | #167 Spinarak
|-valign="top"
| [[Image:Pokemon 013Weedle.png|left]] Like Caterpie, Weedle evolves into its final form at level 10.  That Pokémon, {{bp|Beedril}}, actually gets a handful of strong moves: Fury Attack at level 10, and Twineedle, Pursuit, and Pin Missile later on.  Beedrill is hardly the game's best Bug Pokémon, but it will hold you over until you get a {{bp|Scyther}}.
| [[Image:Pokemon 167Spinarak.png|right]] Spinarak is a nocturnal Pokémon with a good variety of Posion, Normal, Bug, Ghost, and Psychic attacks.  One move exclusive to this Pokémon and its evolved form ({{bp|Ariados}} at level 22) is Spider Web, a useful technique that prevents a Pokémon from running away.
|-
! style="background-color:#000;color:#fff;" | #41 Zubat
! style="background-color:#000;color:#fff;" | #165 Ledyba
|-valign="top"
| [[Image:Pokemon 041Zubat.png|left]] Big news for Zubat fans: Gold/Silver/Crystal introduces a third evolution for this under-appreciated Poison/Flying-type.  {{bp|Crobat}}, who evolves from a very "tamed" {{bp|Golbat}}, doesn't have any new moves, but it can learn Fly and is much quicker than Golbat.
| [[Image:Pokemon 165Ledyba.png|right]] You'll have to wake up early to catch a Ledyba.  Bug/Flying type Ledyba and its evolved form {{bp|Ledian}} are primarily defensive Pokémon, learning moves like Reflect, Safeguard, and Light Screen.  They do learn a few early attacks like Comet Punch, but their Attack is too low to put them to good use.
