The Pokémon that you encounter in the forest may seem tough, but most of them won't be. Wild and trained {{bp|Kakuna}} and {{bp|Metapod}} can't attack, only using Harden to raise their Defense (which can make for some long battles that wear down your Pokémon's PP, so be careful). These two also give lots of experience when defeated, so use your weakest Pokémon when fighting them. Never try to capture a wild Metapod or Kakuna. Instead, capture {{bp|Weedle}} and {{bp|Caterpie}} and level them up so that they ''evolve'' into Kakunas and Metapods while retaining their old moves. They evolve fast: both will be at their third stage of evolution by Level 10! Definitely capture a Caterpie and raise it to Butterfree, especially if you chose Charmander as your starter. | The Pokémon that you encounter in the forest may seem tough, but most of them won't be.

{{bp|Pikachu}} are extremely rare in Red and Blue (and non-existent in Yellow, since you already have the one and only as your starter) and will take extensive periods of walking around through grass to find them. It isn't necessary to capture one, but they can deal with Flying-types and Water-types with ease, and it'll be awhile before you can catch another Electric-type Pokémon. While they are at first very low leveled with awful stats, it becomes a great fighter when it evolves into the much stronger Raichu. {{bp|Pikachu}} can | {{bp|Pikachu}} are extremely rare in Red and Blue (and non-existent in Yellow, since you already have the one and only as your starter) and will take extensive periods of walking around through grass to find them.

As you enter the forest, take the path on the left side of the large tree ahead to find a hidden '''Antidote''' (which you could need against the trainer at the end of Viridian Forest with his Weedle's [[bp:Poison Sting (move)|Poison Sting]] having a chance of poisoning your Pokémon in the Red and Blue versions), and directly in front of Trainer #5 is a hidden '''Potion.''' | As you enter the forest, take the path on the left side of the large tree ahead to find a hidden '''Antidote''' (which you could need against the trainer at the end of Viridian Forest with his Weedle's [[bp:Poison Sting (move)|Poison Sting]] having a chance of poisoning your Pokémon in the Red and Blue versions), and directly in front of Trainer #5 is a hidden '''Potion.''' | ||
