This cave is full of {{bp|Zubat}}, but once you put a {{bp|Pikachu}} who can hit them with it's super effective Thundershock or other strong Pokémon at the head of the roster, you'll find them to be little more than an annoyance. Deeper levels of the dungeon have Zubat that use the Supersonic skill to confuse your Pokémon, but that can be shaken simply by swapping the confused fighter for another. | This cave is full of {{bp|Zubat}}, but once you put a {{bp|Pikachu}} who can hit them with it's super effective Thundershock or other strong Pokémon at the head of the roster, you'll find them to be little more than an annoyance.

{{bp|Geodude}} is a bit trickier. They're weak to Grass and Water, so {{bp|Squirtle}}'s Bubble or Water Gun (can learn by level 15) and {{bp|Bulbasaur}}'s Vine Whip can wipe them out quickly.

Also, {{bp|Butterfree}} and it's Confusion attack. If you don't have either of these, you can just grab '''TM12''' and use it to teach Water Gun to one of your Rattata, Jigglypuff, Nidorina or Nidorino. You can also use {{bp|Charmander}}/{{bp|Charmeleon}}'s Ember attack. Although it may be fire and say that it's ineffective, it does considerable amount of damage compared to most other attacks. Remember that Poison- and Rock-type attacks don't do very well against Geodude, and Electric attacks have no effect at all. | ||
Also feel free to use '''TM01''', which teaches Mega Punch. It's a pretty powerful Normal-type attack, although it's slightly inaccurate. It will be outclassed by other attacks such as Strength, Body Slam, and Double-Edge later on. | Also feel free to use '''TM01''', which teaches Mega Punch.
