This Gym consists of one Junior Trainer & one Swimmer, along with the leader, Misty. If you feel you can do without the EXP, you can walk wide around the first one. You probably should just partake in the extra battle, as you won't be able to do it later. | This Gym consists of one Junior Trainer & one Swimmer, along with the leader, Misty.

All of the Pokémon are Water creatures. The two grunts aren't too tough, but Misty's {{bp|Staryu}} and {{bp|Starmie}} are dangerous. {{bp|Pikachu}}, unfortunately, can't really handle them. Thundershock just doesn't have the "oomph" to silence them fast enough before their water attacks take the cute yellow mouse out. The exception to this is the Pokémon Yellow Pikachu, which should have Thunderbolt by now (level | All of the Pokémon are Water creatures.

Thundershock just doesn't have the "oomph" to silence them fast enough before their water attacks take the cute yellow mouse out. The exception to this is the Pokémon Yellow Pikachu, which should have Thunderbolt by now (level 26). This should be sufficient to K.O. them quickly enough. A good strategy in Yellow Version is to use Double Team repeatedly, and then Thunder Wave. The combination of your upped evasion and the enemy's paralysis makes it extremely unlikely that your Pikachu will take enough damage to be KO'd. Then you can just hit them with your most powerful electric attack. | ||
{{bp|Bulbasaur}}, which should be {{bp|Ivysaur}} by now, won't even break a sweat taking them down. Neither should a {{bp|Wartortle}}, who can take Water damage easily and attack with Bite. If your starter was {{bp|Charmander}}, forget about it. Instead, go north of Cerulean to capture a Grass Pokémon like {{bp|Bellsprout}} or {{bp|Oddish}} and get it to at least level 15. | {{bp|Bulbasaur}}, which should be {{bp|Ivysaur}} by now, won't even break a sweat taking them down.
