At the Mt. Moon Pokémon Center, you can pick up a black market {{bp|Magikarp}} for [[File:Pokebuck.png]]500. As for wild Pokémon, {{bp|Jigglypuffs}} are only decent in Red or Blue, but Yellow players shouldn't move on without a {{bp|Sandshrew}} in tow.</big> | At the Mt.

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 34. Jigglypuff ''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.

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 hit. While it must use a TM to grant it a Ground attack, Sandshrew isn't that bad as a Ground attacker. | ||

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 the Old Rod. | If you want, you can buy it to begin leveling it up now.
