Trade phone numbers with Schoolboy Chad, and wait for his call. When you get it, come back and catch your {{bp|Snubbull}} because the odds of catching one without it are dismal.
==== Crystal: Dana gives you a free Lightning Stone ====
Since Snubbull don't swarm anymore in Crystal, that won't be of much use. However, if you trade numbers with Dana instead, sooner or later, she'll call up and give you a '''Thunderstone'''. You can use that to turn your {{bp|Eevee}} into a {{bp|Jolteon}}, giving you one of the best Electric Pokémon in the game. If you don't want to use up your Eevee )or the Tunderstone), make sure to catch a {{bp|Magnemite}}. You'll need a good Electric Pokémon soon.

When you fight Schoolboy Chad, make sure to grab his number - he'll tell you when Snubbull are swarming, and that's pretty much the only time you'll be able to catch one (except in Crystal, where it can be found on Route 34).
In Crystal, get Lass Dana's number after fighting her, and eventually she will give you a Thunderstone.
*Snubbull encounter rate during swarms is much higher.

There is a house with a farmer whose {{bp|Miltank}} is sick, give it berries to make it healthier to get a reward, 3 makes it a little healthier, two more will make it a lot healthier and 2 more makes it completely healthy, (7 berries in total) then the Lady gives you TM13 (Snore)
The {{bp|Miltank}} in this barn is sick, and only feeding it a bunch of Berries (around seven) will save it. There's a Berry tree nearby, but it may take you a few days to accumulate that many from just that tree, so you may want to do some backtracking or dip into your personal inventory.
The ranchers will thank you with '''TM 13''' ([[bp:Snore_(move)|Snore]], an attack which only works while you're asleep), and begin selling '''Moomoo Milk''' (which heals 100 HP outside of battle) for [[File:Pokebuck.png]]500. It's pretty useful, but since the ranchers can only spare one bottle, you can only get one serving at a time. You'll have to bring the empty bottle back when you want to buy more.

| [[File:Pokemon 128Tauros.png|left]] There are many pure-Normal Pokémon to choose from in Gold/Silver/Crystal but {{bp|Tauros}} is definitely one of the best. All of its stats are great except Special Attack which it doesn't use anyway. For some reason, Stomp has been replaced with Horn Attack, but it now learns Thrash at level 43.
| [[File:Pokemon 241Miltank.png|right]] {{bp|Miltank}} is the female version of Tauros, and shares its Speed and some of its strength. It also gets two great healing moves: Milk Drink (level 19) which recovers HP and can be used on other Pokémon (like Softboiled), and Heal Bell (at level 53), which erases the negative status conditions of all your Pokémon.
| [[File:Pokemon 081Magnemite.png|left]] There have been some big changes for little {{bp|Magnemite}}. It's now Electric/Steel (instead of just Electric), which gives it resistance to everything except Ground, Fighting, and Fire (which it's weak to) and Water (which it isn't). And now it finally learns a decent late game attack, Zap Cannon, an Electric attack with a strength of 100 that always Paralyzes—but only hits half the time.
| [[File:Pokemon 052Meowth.png|right]] {{bp|Meowth}} and {{bp|Persian}} are only in Silver and Crystal, while the Fighting-type {{bp|Mankey}} is exclusive to Gold. Its only new move of note is Faint Attack (a Dark version of Swift) at level 28. That and Bite make Meowth decent against Pyschics and great against Ghosts (who typically can't hurt Normal-types).
| [[File:Pokemon 083Farfetch'd.png|left]] {{bp|Farfetch'd}} is pretty much the same old Farfetch'd... Cute but limited. It can noe learn False Swipe, the move that hurts Pokémon without the risk of knocking them out, but it doesn't get that opportunity until level 44. In Crystal, you'll have to wait until {{~|Route 43}} for the chance to catch one.
