'''''In Pewter City, you will fight Brock, your first Pokémon Gym Leader. The Pokémon he uses in battle are strong. If necessary, build up the experience of your own Pokémon by having battles in the wild. Before you do either, visit the Pokémon Center in Pewter City, so if your Pokémon faint in battle, you'll resume your journey there, instead of far away.'''''
'''''Pewter City has the item you need to find whichever Legendary Bird you haven't caught yet—Ho-oh in Silver, or Lugia in Gold and Crystal. Brock, the Gym Leader who prefers Rock-type Pokémon, lives in Pewter City.'''''
While you're in town, in Silver Version go into the top right portion of town and talk to an old man with blue hair. He will give you Rainbow Wing, which you can later use to capture Ho-oh in the Tin Tower back in Johto. In Crystal Version an old man facing the route pointing east will give you Silver Wing, which can be used to capture Lugia at [[Pokémon Gold and Silver/Whirl Islands|Whirl Islands]]. In Gold Version, there is a man standing next to the Mart who will give you SILVER WING which is necessary for capturing Lugia.
==The Science Museum==
It'll cost ya [[File:Pokebuck.png]]50 to get into the Museum (the large building in the North part of town), and while there's lots of interesting exhibits, nothing here will help you directly. The good stuff is in the back, but that way is blocked by one of those annoying plants... You'll have to come back later.
Here's a silly trick for the Yellow version: What the father upstairs says changes based on your Pikachu's mood. If your Pikachu is clearly upset (if you've left him in the computer too long, for example), he'll ask you to give him to his daughter! But the game won't actually let you.
|colspan="3"|* In Yellow, you get [[File:Pokebuck.png]]180<br>and [[File:Pokebuck.png]]1188 respectively.

Both Brock and his Junior Trainer use Rock-type Pokémon, and your only chance at victory is to face Brock and his minion with Grass, Water, or Fighting-type Pokémon of your own.

==Obtain Rainbow Wing or Silver Wing==
Talk to the old man to the right of the Pokemart to finally pick up the item required to catch one of the legendary birds. If you receive the '''Rainbow Wing''' (Silver), head to the [[../Tin Tower/]] to catch {{bp|Ho-oh}}. If you receive the '''Silver Wing''' (Gold and Crystal), go to the [[../Whirl Islands/]] to catch {{bp|Lugia}}.

==Pewter City Trader==
Trade a {{bp|Gloom}} for a {{bp|Rapidash}}? There isn't much reason to, since you can catch a wild Rapidash on [[../Route 28/]], and you need Gloom to get {{bp|Vileplume}} and {{bp|Bellossom}}. Or how about a {{bp|Haunter}} for a {{bp|Xatu}} in Pokémon Crystal? Once again, you can easily catch and evolve a wild {{bp|Natu}} at the [[../Ruins of Alph/]]. But if you have an extra Haunter lying around, go for it.
==Pewter City Gym==
Brock and his single Trainer use mostly Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon. There are no surprises in the Gym. Brock has a stable of easily beaten Pokémon. One good Grass Pokémon can take out all five, but a mix of Water and Electric (for {{bp|Omastar}} and {{bp|Kabutops}}) will do the trick too.
If you defeat Brock, he'll give you the '''Boulder Badge''', which grants your Pokémon a small power boost.

The battle against Brock will be easy if you take along a good Water-type Pokémon or two, and a Grass-type Pokémon. Brock's Pokémon are very tough, but your Water-types should sail right through the battle.
