;Red and Blue

Your original party will work fine against your rival (Pikachu, your starter in its second evolution, and Spearow). Make sure they are all Level 16 or above. Lead with Pikachu and zap Pidgeotto out of the sky; 1-2 Thundershocks will do the trick once again. Use your lowest-level Pokémon (that you actually want to train) against Abra: it can't do anything to  your Pokémon at all, so it's basically free EXP. Rattata is hard; its STAB Quick Attack and Hyper Fang can cause problems if allowed to go unchecked. Use your strongest Pokémon available on Rattata. Finally, use Spearow's Peck against Bulbasaur, Pikachu's Thunder Wave and Quick Attack on Charmander (Thundershock gets a little more power with STAB, but Quick Attack runs off of Pikachu's higher Attack stat and hits Charmander's lower Defense stat), and Pikachu's Thundershock against Squirtle.

You can use the same party of Spearow/Pikachu/Mankey that you used previously and be victorious, but it's easier if you make another acquisition. Get Bulbasaur from [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cerulean City|Cerulean City]], train it on Route 4 to Level 13 to have it learn Vine Whip, and prepare for a sweep. Pikachu leads against Spearow and Thundershocks it into oblivion. Use Bulbasaur and its Vine Whip against Sandshrew, and use Mankey against Rattata. Just make sure you're using Low Kick and not Karate Chop. Eevee will fall to Low Kick as well. Spearow is your backup: if a Pokémon (maybe Mankey; frail defensively and two enemies to defeat) falls, use the bird.

== Route 25==

Once he's rewarded you with an '''S.S. Ticket''', exit the cottage and enter again.  Check Bill's PC once again for information on four rare Pokémon.  When you're done, take the shortcut (go south from the cottage) back to [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Cerulean City|Cerulean City]] (or for a faster way if playing on Red or Blue, use an Escape Rope inside Bill's house back to the Cerulean City Pokémon Center if it was the last place you healed) and go to the house that's guarded by a cop. Head on through it and fight the Team Rocket burglar (his roster is in the table to the left). Knock him out and recover '''TM28''', containing [[bp:Dig (move)|Dig]]. Dig is a decent Ground-type attack that can be learned by {{bp|Sandshrew}}, {{bp|Geodude}}, and even non-Ground Pokémon like {{bp|Squirtle}}, {{bp|Charmander}}, {{bp|Rattata}}, and a couple of others. In battles, it does a ton of damage with a 100 power base, though it's unfortunately delayed by a turn, during which point you're invulnerable but this gives a opponent a free turn to do what he/she pleases such as switching out Pokémon (most likely a Pokémon that can resist Ground-type moves) and using stats boosts. However, when used outside of battles, you can use it to escape from dungeons (oddly, even some buildings allows Dig to be used)!
