Once you defeat Brock, he'll give you '''TM39''' which can teach a Pokémon the {{bpm|Rock Tomb}} attack technique. He'll also give you his '''Boulder Badge''', which grants your Pokémon a small power boost and allows you to use Flash (once you have HM05) outside of battle. Additionally, you will get a '''TM/HM Case''', which allows you to store your TMs and HMs without occupying any more space in your gear bag. | Once you defeat Brock, he'll give you '''TM39''' which can teach a Pokémon the {{bpm|Rock Tomb}} attack technique.

In Pewter City, you will battle Brock, your first Pokémon Gym Leader. You won't be able to advance further into the game until you beat him, so go for the Gym as soon as possible. If necessary, build up the experience of your Pokémon through battles in the wild. Before you do either, visit the Pokémon Center in Pewter City, so if all of your Pokémon faint in battle, you'll resume your journey there instead of far away in Viridian City. | |||
Brock and his Junior Trainer use Rock and Ground type Pokémon, which are weak to Grass and Water. If you picked {{bp|Squirtle}} or {{bp|Bulbasaur}} to start, you should have an easy time of it, but not quite if you picked {{bp|Charmander}}. There are several ways to defeat Brock without Squirtle or Bulbasaur: | |||
*The easiest way to defeat Brock with Charmander as your starter is by using {{bp|Mankey}}. It learns the Fighting type move Low Kick at level 6, which will take down Brock's Pokémon in one or two hits since Rock type Pokémon are weak against Fighting type attacks. A Mankey can be caught on [[../Route 22|Route 22]]. | |||
*Another way is to level Charmander up so it can win the fight through superior strength. At level 13 it learns the Steel type move Metal Claw, which is super effective against Rock types. Note that Rock type attacks are super effective against Fire type Pokémon so make sure you're stocked up on potions first. Critical hits can happen any time, so heal often! | |||
*Another way to deal with Brock is to catch a {{bp|Caterpie}} in Viridian Forest and evolve it to {{bp|Butterfree}} so that it learns Confusion, a Psychic type attack. Though it isn't super effective against Rock, it still does high damage since Geodude's and Onix's Special Defense stats are very low. Note however that just like Charmander, Butterfree's Bug/Flying type is weak against Rock attacks. The downside to this plan is that Butterfree isn't going to be very useful later in the game, save for completing your Pokédex. | |||
*Another faster way will be catch a Mankey which is an fighting type good against rock types. Can be found at Route 22, Left side of Viridian City. | |||
