Violet City is the first city you'll visit that has a gym in it. You don't want to rely on just one Pokémon for a Gym Leader battle, so you'd better catch and raise some wild Pokémon to fill our your party (especially if you picked Chikorita as your starter). You won't be able to reach the items above the city until you have Surf.

If you talk to the man standing between the Gym and the Mart, and answer "No" to the question he asks you, he will lead you down to his Pokémon Academy to study up on Pokémon types and conditions. In this schoolhouse, he teaches his students some basic Pokémon battling and raising lessons. You can also learn a lot from the writing on the blackboard and the other students. The man to the farthest right of the room will offer you to create a group for your friends to join. This is covered fully in the [[../WiFi|WiFi]] section.

You'll see the Violet City Gym when you enter the city, but you can't complete it until you have gone through the [[../Sprout Tower|Sprout Tower]]. It's recommended that you take a detour to [[../Route 32|Route 32]] before you head into the tower in order to catch a {{bp|Mareep}} for training. Mareep's electrical attacks will make the flying-types of the gym trainers even easier.

You can catch an {{bp|Onix}} later, but you'll never get as much use out of one as you will now versus Falkner and his Junior Trainers. Visit the house southwest of the Pokémon Center with an extra {{bp|Bellsprout}} in order to trade it for it. If you're looking for a Bellsprout, you can find one on [[../Route 32|Route 32]]. As a traded Pokémon, your Onix will go up levels more quickly than a wild one, but you're stuck with the nickname the trainer gave it. Like all trades with computer characters, its starting level will be the same as that of the Pokémon you traded for it.

| [[File:Pokemon 095Onix.png|left]]Onix learns most of its good moves at lower levels than it did in Red/Blue/Yellow, and it can now learn SandStorm, a move that deals damage to non-Rock Pokémon every turn. But the real excitement is that it can now evolve into a new Pokémon, {{bp|Steelix}}. This evolution raises most of Onix's stats (except Speed) to competitive levels. A good defensive Pokemon which will be useful for the first two gyms.

| [[File:Pokemon 175Togepi.png|right]]Togepi has a lot of fun attacks, like random move-unleashing Metronome (at level 7) and Encore, which forces your opponent to repeat its last attack 2-6 times (at level 25). It's too bad that Togepi's Attack and Speed scores are so low, as you'll need to use it constantly to make it tame enough to evolve into a Togetic. Togepi can learn Headbutt, however, which is a strong Normal type and if you make sure that Togepi doesn't die every time he goes out to battle, he will evolve into a Togetic by around level 25.
