Route 10: Voltorb |
Route 10: Magnemite Machop |
Using Cut, chop your way to Route #9 from Cerulean City. Check into the Pokémon Center near the entrance to the Rock Tunnel, then plunge into the underground passage. It emerges on Route 10, a very short route to your next destination, Lavender Town. This might seem like a roundabout way to get there — but it's the only way.
Before the tunnel
The trainers here are abundant, but many of them can be avoided, and there's a Pokémon Center at the end. Make sure you have your Cut-using Pokémon with you, or the HM and a Pokémon you're willing to teach it to.
Above Trainer #1 on Route #9 is a ledge with a tree on the right side. You'll have to go around to reach the tree, but examining it will net you an Ether.
Before you enter the tunnel, hack aside the top bush and search the rock face above it for a Super Potion.
#100 Voltorb | #81 Magnemite |

Voltorb look bizarrely similar to Poké Balls. Despite being Electric-type Pokémon, they learn no Electric attacks without the aid of TMs. Instead, they learn Normal attacks, including the self-sacrificing Selfdestruct. Once learned, this move should only be used in an emergency. Probably the worst Electric-type in the game, although its evolved form is the fastest of any Pokémon. | The Magnemites available in Yellow aren't as fast as their Voltorb cousins in Red/Blue, but their mix of strong Electric moves and Normal attacks is more versatile than Voltorb's Normal ones. They would be a good option, but you've already got Pikachu. If, however, you wish to not use Pikachu for some reason, then this is a good second choice. |
