=== Optimal Strategy ===

==== Preparation ====

* '''Starter Choice:''' Pick '''[[Bulbasaur]]''' to guarantee access to '''Sleep Powder''' and immunity to [[Toxic]].
* '''Second Starter:''' Aim for a '''Water-type''' result in the [[Second Starter Personality Quiz]]. Special Attackers are preferred to bypass Vulpix's ''Will-O-Wisp''.
* '''Wild Catches:'''
** '''[[Pikachu]]''' (Viridian Forest): Useful against Zubat and to paralyze Vulpix.
** '''[[Maschiff]]''' (Route 1): Adds Dark-type coverage and isn't weak to Rock/Fire.
** '''[[Mankey]]''' (Route 22): Essential for Fighting-type damage against Onix.

==== Battle Tactics ====

# '''Vs Geodude:''' Lead with Bulbasaur. Use '''Sleep Powder''' immediately, then faint it with a Grass move. This prevents Geodude from setting up ''Stealth Rock''.
# '''Vs Zubat & Vulpix:''' Switch to your Water-type starter or Pikachu.
# '''Vs Onix:''' Use Sleep Powder again, then follow up with Grass moves or switch to Mankey to use a Fighting-type move.

''Alternative Path:'' You can pick [[Squirtle]] and catch an [[Oddish]] in the forest for a similar strategy, but Bulbasaur remains the optimal choice for Kanto.

|}

=== Optimal Strategy ===
==== Preparation ====

* '''Grass Coverage:''' You need '''[[Ivysaur]]''' or '''[[Gloom]]''' to handle the early threats.
* '''Electric Speed:''' Catch a '''[[Yamper]]''' past Nugget Bridge (Route 24) to evolve into '''[[Boltund]]'''.
** ''Why?'' Boltund has a faster Speed BST than Starmie, making it superior to Pikachu for this fight.
* '''Intimidate Cycling:''' It is recommended to catch '''[[Skiddo]]''' and '''[[Ekans]]''' (with Intimidate) on Route 4, or '''[[Luxio]]''' (with Intimidate) on Route 5.

==== Battle Tactics ====

# '''Vs Psyduck & Goldeen:''' Lead with your Grass-type. Use '''Sleep Powder''' + Grass moves on Psyduck immediately to prevent ''Rain Dance''. These two should not cause much trouble.
# '''Vs Gyarados:''' This is a major threat. Cycle your '''Ekans''' and '''Luxio''' to stack Intimidate drops, lowering its Attack by at least 2 stages.

** Once its Attack is low, inflict Status (Paralysis or Poison).
** Finish it off with an Electric-type (Pikachu is safe here once Gyarados is weakened).

# '''Vs Starmie:''' Use '''Boltund'''. Its Electric move might not OHKO, but the recoil from Starmie's '''Life Orb''' combined with your damage will faint it eventually.

<small>''Note: Magnemite has 0 Atk IVs. Electabuzz has 0 Atk IVs & 0 Happiness.''</small>

=== Optimal Strategy ===
==== Preparation ====

* '''Immunity is Key:''' Bring Grass and Ground-type mons to take less/no damage from electric moves.
* '''Recommended Pokémon:'''
** '''[[Chinchou]] / [[Lanturn]]''' (Route 11): '''Highly Recommended.''' Its '''Volt Absorb''' ability heals it when hit by Electric moves, and it resists Surf. Using Lanturn trivializes this fight.
** '''[[Sandshrew]]:''' The best wild Ground-type encounter available at this stage.
** '''[[Venusaur]]:''' The best Grass-type option for resisting Electric damage.

==== Notes ====

# This is a fairly easy gym compared to others. You can have at least 2 electric-immune mons, so your only problem might be '''Magnemite'''.
# You can deal with it in a lot of ways, but simple solutions are using Poison-type mon and using multi-attack moves like '''Fury Swipes'''.
# So just use '''Lanturn''', and you will have 0 problem.

|}

=== Optimal Strategy ===
==== Preparation ====

* You need Poison, Fire, Flying, Bug Pokemon generally. At this point, you have a lot of options for your Pokémon, and most of them are gonna be fully evolved.
* It might feel harder than previous gyms because her team has EV investment, but you can see how they are invested in here, and you can also EV train your mons.
* There are a lot of Pokémon you can use, but the best mons will be '''[[Venusaur]]''', '''[[Gyarados]]''', '''[[Annihilape]]''', and '''[[Scyther]]'''. Scyther is obtainable in the Game Corner.

==== Notes ====

* Venusaur and Scyther can deal with all her pokemon exept Ceruledge.
* Gyarados will help you deal with Ceruledge and also has the potential to sweep, because it will have Ice Fang and Dragon Dance at this point in the game.
* Annihilape is a great way to shut down Cradily.
* If you are having trouble with Ceruledge's Poltergeist, you can simply remove the held item from your mon, then it will fail automatically.

=== Optimal Strategy ===
==== Preparation ====

* '''Grass Coverage:''' You need '''[[Ivysaur]]''' or '''[[Gloom]]''' to handle the early threats.
* '''Electric Speed:''' Catch a '''[[Yamper]]''' past Nugget Bridge (Route 24) to evolve into '''[[Boltund]]'''.
** ''Why?'' Boltund has a faster Speed BST than Starmie, making it superior to Pikachu for this fight.
* '''Intimidate Cycling:''' It is recommended to catch '''[[Skiddo]]''' and '''[[Ekans]]''' (with Intimidate) on Route 4, or '''[[Luxio]]''' (with Intimidate) on Route 5.

==== Battle Tactics ====

# '''Vs Psyduck & Goldeen:''' Lead with your Grass-type. Use '''Sleep Powder''' + Grass moves on Psyduck immediately to prevent ''Rain Dance''. These two should not cause much trouble.
# '''Vs Gyarados:''' This is a major threat. Cycle your '''Ekans''' and '''Luxio''' to stack Intimidate drops, lowering its Attack by at least 2 stages.

** Once its Attack is low, inflict Status (Paralysis or Poison).
** Finish it off with an Electric-type (Pikachu is safe here once Gyarados is weakened).

# '''Vs Starmie:''' Use '''Boltund'''. Its Electric move might not OHKO, but the recoil from Starmie's '''Life Orb''' combined with your damage will faint it eventually.

=== Optimal Strategy ===
==== Preparation ====

* '''Immunity is Key:''' Bring Grass and Ground-type mons to take less/no damage from electric moves.
* '''Recommended Pokémon:'''
** '''[[Chinchou]] / [[Lanturn]]''' (Route 11): '''Highly Recommended.''' Its '''Volt Absorb''' ability heals it when hit by Electric moves, and it resists Surf. Using Lanturn trivializes this fight.
** '''[[Sandshrew]]:''' The best wild Ground-type encounter available at this stage.
** '''[[Venusaur]]:''' The best Grass-type option for resisting Electric damage.

==== Notes ====

# This is a fairly easy gym compared to others. You can have at least 2 electric-immune mons, so your only problem might be '''Magnemite'''.
# You can deal with it in a lot of ways, but simple solutions are using Poison-type mon and using multi-attack moves like '''Fury Swipes'''.
# So just use '''Lanturn''', and you will have 0 problem.

=== Optimal Strategy ===
==== Preparation ====

* You need Poison, Fire, Flying, Bug Pokemon generally. At this point, you have a lot of options for your Pokémon, and most of them are gonna be fully evolved.
* It might feel harder than previous gyms because her team has EV investment, but you can see how they are invested in here, and you can also EV train your mons.
* There are a lot of Pokémon you can use, but the best mons will be '''[[Venusaur]]''', '''[[Gyarados]]''', '''[[Annihilape]]''', and '''[[Scyther]]'''. Scyther is obtainable in the Game Corner.

==== Notes ====

* Venusaur and Scyther can deal with all her pokemon exept Ceruledge.
* Gyarados will help you deal with Ceruledge and also has the potential to sweep, because it will have Ice Fang and Dragon Dance at this point in the game.
* Annihilape is a great way to shut down Cradily.
* If you are having trouble with Ceruledge's Poltergeist, you can simply remove the held item from your mon, then it will fail automatically.
