Their next couple of skills are all Poison, Sleep, and Stun moves. Sleep Power and Stun Spore are both useful for helping you catch and battle Pokémon, so Bellsprout are a good choice if you didn't pick a {{bp|Bulbasaur}} early on and you need a Grass-type. | Their next couple of skills are all Poison, Sleep, and Stun moves.

| rowspan="5" |[[Image:Pokemon_063Abra.png|right]]Abra can be difficult to catch. The only move they know is Teleport, which removes them from battle instantly. So if you're lucky enough to see one in the wild, you've got one turn to snag it. You have a few options: one is to have a {{bp|Jigglypuff}} or {{bp|Clefairy}} Sing it to sleep, or Sleep Powder if you have {{bp|Butterfree}}, which makes it easier to catch and also gives you an opportunity to knock it around a bit while it's dozing. The next is to use Wrap to squeeze it until it's weak enough to catch, while keeping it from Teleporting away. The last option is to use {{bp|Pikachu}}'s Thunder Wave to paralyze it and capture it right away with a Pokéball (though this option isn'y very reliable). | | rowspan="5" |[[Image:Pokemon_063Abra.png|right]]{{bp|Abra}} can be difficult to catch.

But are they worth it? Definitely, since Psychic Pokémon are the best in the game, and Abra evolves into the best one you can get (before the game ends, that is.) At level 16, Abra will turn into a {{bp|Kadabra}}, which you can (and should) immediately trade to a friend to evolve it into a powerful {{bp|Alakazam}}. Even if you don't, however, the Confusion attack Kadabra learns, combined with the Same-Type Attack Bonus it gives, grants even a level 16 Kadabra the ability to knock out almost any Pokémon of comparable level in one hit, even without type advantage. | But are they worth it?

Oddish's initial Absorb skill puts Leech Life to shame, and since it's Grass-type, one Oddish can take down dozens of Water, Rock or Ground-type Pokémon, healing as it goes. You'll need a Leaf Stone to reach the final stage of evolution, but keep in mind that it learns powerful moves like Petal Dance and Solarbeam later on. | ||

It's just another Bug/Poison thing, albeit one that can learn good Psychic moves later in the game. | ||
