WARNING: Hard Mode Guide Only This guide covers Hard Mode difficulty and the optimal, intended ways to win.

Pewter City Gym: Brock (Click to Expand)

• Type Specialty: Rock
• Badge: Boulder Badge
• Difficulty: Hard Mode

Brock's Team

Icon	Pokémon	Level	Item	Ability	Moveset
	Geodude (M)	15	Custap Berry	Sturdy	Rock Tomb Magnitude Stealth Rock Explosion
	Zubat	15	Black Sludge	Infiltrator	Toxic Super Fang Protect Roost
	Vulpix (F)	15	Eviolite	Drought	Incinerate Will-O-Wisp Encore Nasty Plot
	Onix (M)	15	Leftovers	Rock Head	Head Smash Bulldoze Body Press Dragon Dance

Note: Brock's Pokémon do not have EV investments.

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

1. Vs Geodude: Lead with Bulbasaur. Use Sleep Powder immediately, then faint it with a Grass move. This prevents Geodude from setting up Stealth Rock.
2. Vs Zubat & Vulpix: Switch to your Water-type starter or Pikachu.
3. 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.

Cerulean City Gym: Misty (Click to Expand)

• Type Specialty: Water
• Badge: Cascade Badge
• Difficulty: Hard Mode

Misty's Team

Icon	Pokémon	Level	Item	Ability	Moveset
	Psyduck (M)	25	Eviolite	Swift Swim	Scald Flip Turn Rain Dance Yawn
	Goldeen	25	Eviolite	Lightning Rod	Scald Whirlpool Knock Off Haze
	Gyarados	25	Leftovers	Intimidate	Waterfall Temper Flare Earthquake Dragon Dance
	Staryu	25	Eviolite	Natural Cure	Scald Toxic Rain Dance Recover
	Starmie	25	Life Orb	Natural Cure	Hydro Pump Psychic Ice Beam Thunderbolt

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

1. 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.
2. 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).

1. 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.

Vermilion City Gym: Lt. Surge (Click to Expand)

• Type Specialty: Electric
• Badge: Thunder Badge

Lt. Surge's Team

Icon	Pokémon	Level	Item	Ability	Moveset
File:VoltorbIcon.jpg	Voltorb	35	Mental Herb	Static	Thunder Rain Dance Light Screen Explosion
File:MagnemiteIcon.jpg	Magnemite	1	Oran Berry	Sturdy	Toxic Swagger Protect Recycle

File:MagnetonIcon.jpg	Magneton	35	Air Balloon	Sturdy	Thunder Flash Cannon Thunderbolt Thunder Wave
File:RaichuIcon.jpg	Raichu (M)	35	Life Orb	Static	Thunder Surf Encore Nasty Plot

Note: Magnemite has 0 Atk IVs. Electabuzz has 0 Atk IVs & 0 Happiness.

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
