Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Pokémon League Rematch

Line 68:

Lance's has evolved one of his Dragonair giving him two Dragonite. The weaker one knows [[bp:Famethrower (move)|Flamethrower]] to deal with Ice types, Dragon Claw for fellow Dragon's, Earthquake for any Steel types not weak to Flamethrower, and of course Lance's signature move Hyper Beam. Lance's stronger Dragonite has Thunderbolt, presumably because about half of the Ice types in this generation are also part Water types, or in Articuno's case is just as weak to Electric as it is to Fire. He ditched Safeguard, having realized its useless for protecting him from the confusion of Outrage, but he now has a Persim Berry to heal said confusion, pretty much giving him a 4-6 turn Outrage. Furthermore, he knows Ice Beam so using a Dragon type of your own is risky to say the least, and you should be able to guess his final move.

~~Blue~~ has replaced Pidgeot and Rhydon with Heracross and Tyranitar, respectively. Heracross is up first and although he has a massive weakness to Flying types, he has Rock Tomb to hit them super effectively and if he manages to endure a Flying type move, or any Physical Attack for that matter, he can send it back with double the power using Counter, which would, if he chooses to use it, obliterate your Flying type if they don't knock him out in one hit. He also has Megahorn and Earthquake to deal with low defensive Psychic types.

He also has Megahorn and Earthquake to deal with low defensive Psychic types.

Like Heracross, Tyranitar has a double weakness, in his case Fighting types. However, also like Heracross, he has a way to counter that weakness. Aerial Ace is an absurd move on a Pokemon as bulky as Tyranitar, but ~~Blue~~'s Tyranitar knows it, and he also knows Thunderbolt, for Water Types, Crunch, and Earthquake. Thanks to Sand Stream, he will whip up an endless sandstorm, but this can work in your favour since none of ~~Blue~~'s other Pokemon are immune to Sandstorm. However, two of the starters can override the Sandstorm, so keep that in mind.

If you have a Dark type, it should wipe the floor with Alakazam. Since Dark types resist Shadow Ball and are immune to Psychic, Alakazam can't touch it. Alakazam still has Reflect to weaken Physical Attacks for five turns and has learned Calm Mind to increase his Special Attack and Special Defense, so Dark type moves will be weakened some.

Line 96:

Exeggutor is almost the same as he was last time, using Sleep Powder, Giga Drain and Light Screen, although he has replaced Egg Bomb with Psychic.

~~Blue~~'s Gyarados is almost exactly the same as Lance's Gyarados knows Hyper Beam, Earthquake and Dragon Dance. The only differences are his higher level and his STAB Hydro Pump.

Rival's Gyarados is almost exactly the same as Lance's Gyarados knows Hyper Beam, Earthquake and Dragon Dance. The only differences are his higher level and his STAB Hydro Pump.

Arcanine's moveset has changed a lot, although he still has ExtremeSpeed. He's learned Overheat, which is a very powerful move, but will lower his Special Attack by two levels. Since Arcanine's other moves are all Physical, this isn't too much of a problem for ~~Blue~~. He knows Iron Tail to deal with Rock types and has also learned the unavoidable Aerial Ace.

~~Blue~~'s Starter Pokemon all still use Sitrus Berries and Venusaur and Blastoise both have a way of getting rid of Tyranitar's Sand Stream. Venusaur still uses the Sunny Day and Solarbeam combination but has also learned Earthquake to deal with Fire types and Sludge Bomb as another STAB move.

Blastoise has Rain Dance and Hydro Pump like last time and has Earthquake to deal with Electric types and Ice Beam to take out Grass types, covering both of his weaknesses and therefore making him arguably the most difficult of the Starter Pokemon.

Charizard also knows Earthquake (blimey ~~Blue~~ is fond of that move) to deal with Electric and Rock types. Fortunately, he has nothing to cover his weakness to Water types. He still knows Fire Blast and Aerial Ace and has also learned Dragon Claw. Unlike Venusaur and Blastoise, he has no way of getting rid of Tyranitar's Sand Stream, so if you picked Venusaur, prepare for trouble.

After you beat ~~Blue~~, Professor Oak comes in again, does the same thing, and you are in the Hall of Fame again. Hopefully you didn't run into too much trouble on the way. Your journey is rewarded with around 20,000 Pokedollars which you got from the battles. Hope you enjoyed your trip through Kanto!!
