|[[Image:Pokemon_039Jigglypuff.png|left]]Jigglypuffs, even ''more'' ridiculously cute in Yellow, have a ton of HP, but very few good techniquesThey can use a wide variety of powerful TMs, however, so if you put some time into it, these Puffs can kick some tail.
|[[Image:Pokemon_039Jigglypuff.png|left]]Jigglypuffs, even ''more'' ridiculously cute in Yellow, have a ton of HP, but pretty low in all other stats.  Their Sing attack is annoying to be put to sleep by, but is nearly a coin-flip in accuracy.  Pound works well enough early on, but Jigglypuff will be hurting for good attacks until it learns Body Slam at level 34Jigglypuff ''can'' use a wide variety of powerful TMs, but it probably isn't worth the use of precious TMs as the result isn't spectacular.
| [[Image:Pokemon_027Sandshrew.png|right]]This Ground-type Pokémon doesn't learn anything particularly exciting but he's tough on defense and makes a good all-around fighter that's virtually impervious to Rock-type attacksAnd you'll be facing a lot of those in the very near future.
| [[Image:Pokemon_027Sandshrew.png|right]]This Ground-type Pokémon doesn't learn anything particularly exciting on its own, but has decent Defense and Attack scores, while not giving up ''too'' much special and speed. The lack of a Rock type means that it can at least survive a medium power Grass or Water attack if it must take a hitWith a TM to grant it a Ground attack, Sandshrew isn't that bad as a Ground attacker.

|colspan="2"|[[Image:Pokemon_129Magikarp.png|left]][[Image:Pokemon_130Gyarados.png|right]]The thing about Magikarps is that they're totally, completely horrible.  They come with only one technique, Splash, and it does absolutely nothing.  Magikarps can't learn any TMs or HMs and they don't even learn an attack until Level 15!

''BUT'' if you can get one to Level 20, it will evolve into {{bp|Gyarados}}, an incredible Flying-type, Water-type dragon with a ton of HP that learns the strong Dragon Rage technique at level 25!  So either stick your 'Karp at the top of your roster to level him up, or drop him in the Day Care Center when you get to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route 5-6|Route #5]]. If you can't afford him now, don't worry about it: You can fish for one anywhere once you get a Rod.
''BUT'' if you can get one to Level 20, it will evolve into {{bp|Gyarados}}, a Water Flying type with great stats and a decent move-pool.  
 
If you want, you can buy it to begin leveling it up now.  However, this will devour many experience points that would have gone to other Pokémon at this early stage.  You can fish for a Magikarp anywhere some other time once you get a Rod.
