Frequently Asked Story Questions and their Answers! - Kanto

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the Frequently Asked Story Questions Manual!

 

This manual is specifically made for Help chat helpers, Discord Moderators and anyone who is constantly helping in General Support or ingame or in Discord. This guide/manual aims to answer almost all possible story questions unrelated to specific pokemon, pvp stuff, bosses, or anything too in-depth. This guide just answers most Story questions that are repeated nonstop throughout Discord and Ingame. With this handbook, you should be able to help out any newbie! We don't tackle mechanics here, this will be tackled on in other guides.

 

This is the first part this guide will be divided in. This guide will try to cover Story related questions that are commonly asked nonstop everywhere. We will first start in the Kanto region, as the other regions will be tackled in future parts! I will be editing this with possible new questions that may arise in the future. (like Missions and other optional stuff) Let’s begin!

 

Q: How can you choose Pikachu as a Starter? Which is the best starter in Kanto?

 

A: While there’s arguably no best starter, Bulbasaur and Squirtle have the best overall advantages in the Kanto gyms and Charmander and Pikachu are the worst in them. Bulbasaur and Squirtle bring utility and better movesets than Charmander and Pikachu, but the last two also hit harder. It depends on what you like the most. Each one struggles with different gym leaders, so no matter what, you’ll always find a difficult fight!

 

The safest is choosing the first two, the second two are also nice to try for a challenge. They can be hunted in the wild throughout Kanto, so don’t worry, you can get them later on! Bulbasaur and Charmander learn a lot of moves while Squirtle and Pikachu are severely restricted.

 

You can choose Pikachu if you refuse to choose all three starters and then check the pokeball behind the desk.

 

Q: I was defeated by Jackson! How can I go to Route 2?

 

A: Simply go to Pallet Town and talk to his mom. You’ll now be able to continue to Pewter City.

 

Q: I am lost in this Maze! How can I leave it?

 

A: You can use an escape rope or check a Map online.

Q: Brock is really hard! How can I defeat him?

 

A: You can capture a wild Budew in the morning and daytime in Viridian Forest. Daytime is 10 to 20 poketime, morning is 4 to 10 poketime. You can check the poketime in the top right corner of your screen. They learn Absorb and Mega Drain. You can also capture an Oddish in the night time there. At level 10 it should be enough.

 

Alternatively, capture a Poliwag in the night time in Route 22, or Nidoran male or female in the daytime. Poliwag learns Water type moves, while Nidoran learn Fighting type moves.

 

Rock is weak to Fighting, Grass, Water and Steel. Ground is weak to Ice, Grass and Water. The pokemon from this type are usually very weak on the special defense side, so hitting them with Poliwag, Budew and Oddish will destroy them.

 

There are more alternatives: You can try to paralyse his pokemon by using Lick with Snubbull and Biting them to flinch them, try to Poison them with the Poison types you can find such as Beedrill (however, keep in mind most of them have a secondary type which is weak to Brock).

 

Q: How can I get out from Mt Moon? I’m so lost!

 

A: You can check the PROWiki map here: https://prowiki.info/index.php?title=Mt._Moon .

Ignore any Ladders until the last northwestern one.

 

Q: Who do I choose, Helix or Dome Fossil?

 

A: PRAISE HELIX! Just kidding, Helix revives into Omanyte, while Dome revives into Kabuto. Your choice! They’re both good pokemon but you’ll be unable to revive them before Cinnabar Island. Also, you can obtain both Fossils later an infinite amount of times, so do not worry, you'll always be able to obtain the other one!

 

Q: How can I defeat Misty? Her Starmie steamrolls through my team!

 

A: You can choose to buy a Magikarp from the Magikarp vendor in Mt Moon and train it into a Gyarados. You can Bite her and destroy her, as her Starmie is also Psychic Type, which is weak to Dark. However, it’s hard to train. The best choice is to use the Grass Types you used against Brock. You can train them easily in Mt Moon.

 

Alternatively, train a Pikachu in Route 24 or 25 and destroy her! You can capture them in Viridian Forest. At level 20 it should be enough. Remember that Water, Grass and Dragon (there’s no obtainable Dragon Type before this gym though) resist Water-type moves. Pokemon such as Golbat (Zubat’s evolution) can spam Bite and Absorb against her pokemon.

 

Other options are Exeggcute (Grass moves), Pinsir (Bug type moves for Starmie), Arbok (Thunder Fang, Dark type moves), Granbull (Thunder Fang).

 

Q: Why can’t I enter the ship?

 

A: You completely skipped Bill’s house. Go back to Cerulean City and head north. Go to Route 24 and then northeast to Route 25. Then, help Bill find his book.

 

Q: Where is Bill's Book?

 

A: Bill’s Book is under his pillow. Now that you’ve returned the book to him, he will give you the S.S Anne Ticket. You can now head to Vermillion! Go to Route 5 below Cerulean. You will find an Underground Path. Enter

 

Q: How do I access the Daycare?

 

A: You need to defeat a boss called Naero in Cerulean Cave. This requires a long quest which you can do after you defeat Johto Elite Four. The Daycare also does not function like in the original games. There is no breeding in PRO. In the Daycare, there are important tutors like the Preevo Tutor and the Egg Move Tutor.

 

Q: How can you defeat Lance in Vermillion? This is impossible!

 

A: Short answer, you can’t. You’re intended to lose here.

A2: Long answer, you can, but it will not change your story path. Keep 1 pokemon that will faint in one hit, three Geodudes with Sturdy (ability), a Bulbasaur with Leech Seed (move) (if you didn’t choose Bulbasaur, put an extra Geodude with Sturdy here), and an Oddish with Poisonpowder.

 

The first pokemon (the one that will faint) has to be in the first position. When Dragonair has used Hyper Beam, switch to Bulbasaur as you will have fainted. Use Leech Seed in that turn. Then, switch before Hyper Beam can hit you. If you don’t have Bulbasaur, use Oddish instead and use Poisonpowder. If the opponent has been poisoned or leech seeded, switch to a Geodude. Now, keep switching between Geodudes. He will not be able to defeat you in time before he faints. You can heal up Geodudes to stall even more turns. If you missed Poisonpowder or Leech Seed, let a Geodude faint so you can try again. You get no rewards whatsoever.

 

Q: I can’t enter Vermillion Gym, there’s a tree there!

 

A: Just enter the SS Anne and continue to get HM Cut.

 

Q: I can’t enter the SS Anne!

 

A: Just speak to Surge in front of the Guards of the ship.

 

Q: How can I help out the Captain? How do I get HM Cut?

 

A: Go to the Kitchen. Check the trash bins, the one in the center to the right has a Pecha Berry in it. Then, talk to the Doctor in the Kitchen. Afterwards, find Jenson in one of the rooms in the second floor. Talk to him. Then, go to the Ballroom and talk to the Blissey. Finally, go and talk to the Captain. He will give you HM Cut.

 

Q: How can I get an Old Rod?

 

A: A fisherman will give you one for free in a house in Vermillion City. It’s in the house next to the Pokemon Fan Club, above the Gym.

 

Q: How do I use the Rod? I can’t catch anything.

 

A: The Old Rod is pathetic and requires you to use it several times in front of the water to just find a pokemon. Keep using it nonstop until you get a catch.

 

Q: How can I get a Bike? The one in Cerulean costed 999999…

 

A: You can purchase a Bike Voucher for 60k pokedollars from the Old Man who lives next to Vermillion’s Pokecenter, or you can make it 40k pokedollars if you first give him a Ditto you previously caught. Then, go back to Cerulean City and purchase your Bike. You can hunt a Ditto in Route 8 by using Repels while having a level 23 pokemon in the first slot of your party.

 

Q: How do I use the Bike?

 

A: Click on it in your bag. It’s in the Mounts section.

 

Q: How can I reach Lt Surge? There are barriers preventing me from reaching him!

 

A: There are secret hidden buttons in the garbage bins. You have to find two consecutive correct buttons to open the barriers. They’re completely random.

 

Q: How can I defeat Surge? His Raichu keeps Digging!

 

A: The only weakness the Electric type has is Ground types. Ground types are also immune to Electric types. There are multiple options we can choose from. We can capture a Sandshrew, Onix or Geodude in Mt Moon. These learn Ground moves upon level-up. If we attack Surge with Magnitude, he will lose. Magnitude also hits opponents who use Dig way harder than it normally would. At level 20, it can destroy him. Onix only learns Sand Tomb though, while the other two learn Magnitude. Thus, only Sandshrew and Geodude are recommended.

 

Q: How do I get HM Flash? I want to light up caves so I can see.

 

A: When you defeat Surge, go to the southeast of Vermillion City. Enter the Diglett Cave and get through it until you leave to Route 2. Then, head south. You will find an Oak’s Aide in one of the houses. Talk to him when you have 10 Caught data in your Pokedex and you will receive HM Flash.

This is also obligatory to continue your adventure, as HM Flash could be somewhat skipped in the original games.

 

Q: How can I go to the 4th Badge? I’m kinda lost now.

 

A: It’s a bit confusing. You have to go back to Cerulean through the same way you came in.

When you’re in Cerulean, head East. Through Route 9, then to 10. Heal up in the Pokecenter, go through Rock Tunnel, and reach Lavender Town. Heal up, then go west, through Route 8, Underground Path to Route 7, and finally Celadon City!

 

Q: How can I use Flash? I can’t see anything on this cave.

 

A: You first teach HM Flash to a Pokemon in your party. Then, you click on the Pokemon in your party, and click on the move Flash. Do this whenever you want to light up caves!

 

Q: How do I get my Eevee in Celadon?

 

A: You have to defeat the Rocket Grunts and Giovanni in the Rocket Hideout. Then, talk to the Policeman outside after checking all the Machines in the Hideout.

 

Q: How do I access the Hideout?

 

A: Talk to the Rocket Grunt in the Casino.

 

Q: The Rockets caught me in the Rocket Hideout! How can I escape?

 

A: Talk to the boxes in the Jail. You’ll be able to escape. Try talking to them from different points if you’re unable to escape.

 

Q: How can I reach Giovanni? There’s a door!

 

A: Find the Card Key. A Rocket Grunt is blocking it in B4F, defeat it to obtain it. Fight the NPC Greg in B3F to be able to continue. Then, you’ll need to get through the Hideout until you can find the door to Giovanni.

 

Q: How do I beat Giovanni? He’s very strong!

 

A: He has several weaknesses. His Ground and Rock pokemon are weak to Ice, Steel, Fighting, Grass, Water. Use these types in battle. Any fast Water or Grass pokemon destroys him. For the Normal types, use a Fighting type like Machop, who can be found in Rock Tunnel. Ice Type moves can be found in Arbok and Granbull’s Ice Fang, but Arbok is weak to Ground, so be careful!

 

Q: How do I recover the Eevee?

 

A: See the machine behind Giovanni? Check the 5 machines that look like that in the entire Hideout. One of them has it. (the one behind Giovanni can also be the one).

 

Q: How do I beat Erika?

 

A: This is the easiest Gym Leader in Kanto. She’s weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, Bug. Most of the Grass types here are also Poison Types and thus, weak to Psychic too. Fire pokemon can be found in Route 7, Flying pokemon can be found everywhere and trained in Diglett Cave, you cannot use Ice types for now (but you can use Ice type moves such as Ice Fang from Arbok and Granbull), and you can train Bug types for the battle. At level 30 to 35, you should win this easily. Another option is to use a Steel or Psychic type in addition as some of her team is part Poison type. Special mention to Bronzor and Bronzong who resist Erika incredibly well and can take her out easily thanks to their Steel/Psychic type.

 

Q: Where is HM Fly?

 

A: HM Fly can be obtained after completing the Subway Quest. However, Fly is not functional outside of battle. In its replacement we have the Subway and Teleportation system, which allows you to teleport between towns for a small fee, similarly to the original games. They have different quests to be unlocked and they will permanently allow you to teleport everywhere you may need.

 

Q: I can’t go south from Lavender, I can’t wake up Snorlax!

 

A: Read the Fuji’s Notes in Lavender Town inside of his house. Get to the Top of Lavender Town and beat the Rockets. Talk to Fuji, rescue him and grab the Pokeflute. Then, head south to Route 12. You can now make Snorlax wake up. Capture or beat it (you can capture more of them in the future, so don’t worry).

 

Q: I can’t enter Kanto’s Safari Zone. How do I go in?

 

A: You first need to beat the Gym. Then, you will have to defeat Viktor in Route 19, to the south of Fuchsia.

 

Q: I can’t reach the leader. There’s some invisible walls blocking me.

 

A: Go counterclockwise, starting from the right wall. You’ll be able to make your way to him. There is an invisible path.

 

Q: How can I beat the leader? They’re very strong!

 

A: Poison is only weak to Ground and Psychic. Use a Sturdy Graveler or other Ground types with Ground attacks to quickly destroy him. Kadabra and Alakazam are also really good options for this gym. At level 45, you’ll win without issues. Sandslash, Rhydon, Graveler/Golem and other Ground types easily take care of the entire gym. Also, you can abuse Bronzor and Bronzong’s Steel and Psychic typing, as Steel is completely immune to Poison attacks and Psychic powers up his Psychic moves against the Gym Leader.

 

Q: I can't access Fuchsia's Safari. How can I defeat Viktor in Route 19? His Pikachu sweeps me!

 

A: Use a Sturdy Graveler. He should lose in a single turn with Bulldoze, Magnitude or Earthquake.

He will teach any of your Pikachu the move Surf as long as you captured it.

 

Q: How do I get Surf HM? And Strength HM?

 

A: Surf HM is inside of Safari Zone. Buy a single 5000 pokedollar pass, and travel counterclockwise until you reach Safari Zone 3. Then, enter one of the houses. HM Surf will be in a pokeball there. Strength HM does not exist in PRO.

 

Q: How can I get to Saffron City?

 

A: Two options. If you have a Bike, you can quickly go west from Fuchsia into Route 16 through Route 17, the Bike Road. Then, you’ll reach Celadon. There, purchase a Lemonade on the Rooftop of Celadon Department Store (the big building). Then head to Route 7 and talk to the Guards. They’ll let you enter Saffron.

 

If you don’t have a Bike, go back to Lavender from the same way you came in. Repeat the same steps (get to Celadon through Route 8 again), get the Lemonade, and enter it.

 

Q: How can I access the Dojo in Saffron and the Pokemon in it?

 

A: Beat the Team Rocket in Silph Co. Beat the Dojo and choose between a Hitmonchan and a Hitmonlee. Hitmonchan has better coverage while Hitmonlee hits harder. The fighters here use Fighting types, so use Fairy, Flying and Psychic types to defeat them easily. Abra and his evolutions, Clefairy and Clefable and any Flying type or move will take care of this Dojo easily.

 

Q: How can I reach Giovanni in Silph Co?

 

A: The fastest way is by going to the Third floor. In the middle, there’s a Rocket guy blocking a teleporter with a table to the left, and another teleporter further inside. One of the two will teleport you to the Seventh floor. Then, enter the next teleporter to immediately appear in the Eleventh floor.

 

Q: Can we defeat Blue? How?

 

A: Short answer: you can’t.

A2: Long answer: you can. It’s just very hard. If you overlevel a lot, yes, you can. It’s not obligatory, you can actually lose to him and still progress.

 

Q: How do I defeat this Giovanni?

 

A: The same exact way as in Rocket Hideout. He’s just harder this time. Any fast water type will steamroll through his team, as most of it is ground types. Fighting types can also help here. Surf in Seafoam to find a few Water Type pokemon at already high levels and teach them Surf.

He has the same common weaknesses as he had in the Rocket Hideout too, so you just need to level a lot (around 50 should be enough) to defeat him.

 

Q: How can I defeat Sabrina? How do I get to her?

 

A: You have to try out going through the teleporting panels until you find the one that teleports to Sabrina. Psychic’s weaknesses are Bug, Ghost and Dark. She is hard to defeat, but her Pokemon are weak to physical attack. You can use Dugtrios with Sucker Punch to take care of her, as you will always hit first. You can capture Houndour in Route 7 too. Gengar is also a nice Pokemon to have into consideration here, but beware: his Poison type makes him weak to Psychic! Level 55 should be enough.

 

You can also abuse specific pokemon to leave Sabrina with no chance to defend herself. Moves like Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch have priority, are super effective against Psychic Types and will always hit the opponent before they can defend themselves.

 

Q: Where do I head now?

 

A: You need to head to Cinnabar Island. The fastest way is to return to Pallet Town and surf south. Through Route 20, you’ll eventually find the Island!

 

Q: I can’t enter the Gym! It’s closed!

 

A: You need to find the Cinnabar Gym Key in Cinnabar Pokemon Mansion. You can find it by following these steps:

Once you go in, go directly north and go upstairs to the 2nd floor. Then, instead of directly going to the third floor, go southeast. You can make your way northwest to another stairs to the third floor.

Once in the third floor, there is an old man you can see on top of a big black hole. Position yourself counting from the left, on the third hole. To understand it better: the third black hole where you can fall counting from the left will directly teleport you to the Cinnabar Gym Key. Find a wild battle, log out and you’ll be teleported back to a Pokecenter!

 

Q: How do I defeat Blaine? His Arcanine sweeps me!

 

A: Fire types have weaknesses: Ground, Rock and Water Pokemon absolutely demolish them. Pokemon such as Graveler or Golem can train incredibly fast against Fire and Poison types in the Cinnabar Mansion gym. Water Types can also be trained there against Fire types. Train until around 60, it should be enough!

 

Q: How can I revive the fossils now?

 

A: You can revive them in Cinnabar Lab.

 

Q: How can I catch the legendary birds?

 

A: You can catch them way later in the game. You need to defeat the Birds in their respective areas to do the quest later. Feel free to beat them now, you will get their Dex data so as to capture them later (also, Articuno has a reward in Cinnabar Island if you defeat him for a mission)

 

Q: Where do I go now? Where’s the last gym?

 

A: The last gym is in Viridian City. You only need to travel to Viridian and enter the gym now.

 

Q: How do we defeat the Mewtwo in Viridian Gym? What can we use?

 

A: There’s multiple ways to beat Giovanni. I’ll list some of them below (these are extremely weird but easy to acheive and do).

 

1.- Simply grind your pokemon to absurd extents (60-70+) and try to tank a hit from Mewtwo to strike it back with a strong Fire, Ground, Dark or Ghost type move, as he is weak to all of them (this Mewtwo is special: he is Steel/Psychic, like Metagross. You can try leveling your starter Charmander, or a Fire type such as Arcanine, Rapidash, Ground types such as Dugtrio, Golem (with Sturdy, otherwise Aura Sphere or Ice Beam blows you up), Dark such as Houndoom (or using a Gyarados with Crunch), or Ghost such as Gengar. However, you rely on either outspeeding Mewtwo or surviving a hit (spoilers: almost impossible).

 

2.- Abusing Priority moves against him. He is weak to Sucker Punch, so you can simply capture 6 decent Diglett, powerlevel them a bit in Power Plant to 30 and then to 50-60 in Cinnabar Mansion. Evolve them all. Use Sucker Punch 6 times. Auto-win! Also works for Sabrina (without Cinnabar Mansion access though) and for Fuchsia’s gym (same as mentioned before, but spamming Earthquake).

 

3.- Using 1 Gastly with Destiny Bond and purchasing a Focus Sash from Trade Chat. Level any Gastly to level 40 (easily done in Seafoam, teach it Thunderbolt TM from Vermillion Gym), teach it Destiny Bond. Purchase a Focus Sash. Equip Focus Sash onto Gastly. Use Destiny Bond on Mewtwo. You will survive with 1 HP and Destiny Bond will be active. Then, on the second turn, Mewtwo will faint you before you can attack, and Destiny Bond will still work.

 

4.- Using 1 Rattata with Endeavor + Quick Attack with Focus Sash (or Sucker Punch, it works here too).

Capture any Rattata in Cinnabar Mansion (they have Endeavor in their moveset and Sucker Punch, and if they don’t, just relearn it in Cerulean). Buy a Focus Sash from Trade Chat. Equip it onto Rattata, use Endeavor in the first turn, then Sucker Punch or Quick Attack in the second turn. GG, a house rat just defeated a legendary pokemon modified machine.

 

5.- Using 1 Magnemite with Sturdy, 1 Gastly/Haunter/Gengar with Curse, 4 Geodude with Sturdy.

Capture any Magnemite in Route 6 with Sturdy (they have Thunder Wave, always).

Capture any Gastly in Vermillion Graveyard (the higher leveled ones have Curse).

Capture any Geodude with Sturdy (anywhere).

 

Go to Giovanni. Start the fight with Magnemite.

Turn 1: Thunder Wave. Did you miss? Log out, log in, retry. 90% accuracy, misses sometimes.

Next turns, spam any move until Magnemite faints.

Then, throw in Gastly. Use Curse. If Mewtwo was able to attack, log out, and repeat this process again. It’s a 25% chance, in 3 or 4 attempts you should be able to do it.

Once you manage to land Curse: Congratulations! You instantly won. Mewtwo will faint in a max of 5 turns. Geodudes with Sturdy require 2 turns each to be fainted. Thus, he has to first faint your Gastly (1 turn), and he can’t faint all your pokemon in time, as he needs atleast 8 turns.

 

6.- Cheesing it even harder: Using 1 Magnemite with Sturdy and 1 Gastly with Destiny Bond. (and another pokemon in your team, doesn’t matter if it’s a level 2 Caterpie).

Capture any Magnemite with Sturdy in Route 6 (same strategy).

Capture any Gastly and level it to 40 until it learns Destiny Bond.

Go to Giovanni. Start the fight with Magnemite.

Turn 1: Thunder Wave. Did you miss? Log out, log in, retry. 90% accuracy, misses sometimes.

Keep spamming moves until Magnemite faints.

Throw in Gastly. Use Destiny Bond. If you manage to land it because he was paralysed, hope he hits you in the next turn. You’ll win the fight as he takes himself down.

If he manages to faint you before you Destiny Bond, log out, log in and retry.

 

7.- 1 Magnemite with Sturdy. Alone. Assuming Mewtwo was level 100, with 31 IV in HP and 252 Evs there, he has 416 max HP. (He is obviously around level 70, but I’m assuming worst case scenario). Capture any Magnemite with Sturdy. Level it up to level 60+ (64 is the specific number). Relearn Mirror Coat in Cerulean, give it 2 Rare Candies in Power Plant so it levels to 65, evolves, 66, evolves again. Fully EV train his HP Evs to 252 (easily doable in Route 24 or in Safari Wald) Heal up in Viridian Pokecenter.

 

Go vs Mewtwo. Press Mirror Coat and auto win! As Magnezone’s max HP with 1 IV at level 66 will be 210, one Mirror Coat will bounce 418 damage from Mewtwo’s Aura Sphere (will deal 209 damage, leaving Magnezone with 1 HP and Sturdy) and instakill it. If Mewtwo is at level 70, Magnezone can be at level 66 without any HP EV investment, and it will instakill it anyway. You need Magnezone to have a higher base HP than his preevolutions (thus, a higher HP total).

 

Q: Can we defeat Red in Victory Road Entrance?

 

A: Short answer: no, you can’t. You’re supposed to lose here.

A2: You actually can, but the script was (changed?) and the Story does not continue if you win against him. In the past, if you had a good enough team you could simply overlevel your pokemon or use a cheese strategy such as 6 Rattata holding a Focus Sash and using the Endeavor + Quick attack combo to defeat him. You still can do these, but the Story will not change at all if you defeat him. The last time I defeated him, the story did not progress and I had to refight and lose against him (this was probably a bug).

 

Q: How can we defeat this Moltres?

 

A: Moltres is so weak to rock (4 times weakness) that you can literally capture a Graveler with Sturdy in Victory Road, use Rock Slide on Moltres and he will instantly faint. Moltres is incredibly easy to defeat, any Rock type will destroy it in a single hit (Sturdy will also prevent us from fainting in a single turn). He is also weak to Water and Electric moves, so Magnezone with Sturdy can deal with it, or any Water type (specially with Rain Dance).

 

Q: What pokemon types do the Kanto Elite 4 use? How can we defeat them?

The Kanto Elite 4 use dual type pokemon teams.

Lorelei uses Water and Ice pokemon. They’re extremely weak to Grass, Electric, Rock, Fire (be careful if they are also Water though), Fighting, Steel (Water types resist Steel moves though). Gengar with Thunderbolt (purchasable in Vermillion Gym), Magnezone with Thunderbolt or any of the types mentioned above can deal with her easily.

Brock uses Fighting and Rock type pokemon. All his pokemon have really weak Special Defense, and they’re weak to Psychic, Flying, Fairy (Fighting) and Water, Ground, Fighting, Steel (Rock) moves. My recommendation is to use a Gengar with Psychic (purchasable in Saffron gym), Alakazam and any Flying type or a Clefable.

Agatha uses Ghost and Poison types. This fight can be tough, her pokemon are weak to Dark, Ghost, Ground (if they don’t have levitate or they have the Flying type) and Psychic. My recommendation is to use Gengar with Shadow Ball, Psychic, Dugtrio (he’s fast, learns Earthquake and Sucker Punch), Alakazam, or a Ground type with Sturdy.

Lance uses Dragon and Flying pokemon. This fight is extremely easy (except for Tyranitar, which is his trump card). Dragon types are weak to Ice, Fairy and Dragon, and Flying is weak to Rock, Ice and Electric. Use a pokemon with Stealth Rocks to make all his pokemon instantly lose 25 to 50% of their max HP in battle and destroy him with a Gengar with Thunderbolt, Icy Wind, any Ice type, a Clefable, and be ready for his Tyranitar, which is Rock/Dark (surprise!).

Gary has a varied team and you cannot really prepare for him much, he is ready to tackle all pokemon types. You will need to use your brain here, as some of his pokemon can survive a hit from a level 100 Gengar.

His team is: Pidgeot, Alakazam, Rhydon, Arcanine, Exeggutor, Blastoise.

Gengar can tackle with four of these (Thunderbolt for Pidgeot, Shadow Ball for Alakazam if he is not faster than you and obliterates you with Psychic, Shadow Ball for Exeggutor and Thunderbolt for Blastoise. Arcanine and Rhydon are a pain unless you have Water type moves to deal with him.

 

Q: Where can we train for the Elite 4?

 

A: You can train easily in the Victory Road 3rd floor (the entrance from the Kanto League, basically). Pokemon here are at high levels (40-50+) and are nearly fully evolved and provide a ton of experience. Level 70 to 75 is more than enough if your pokemon have good natures, decent stats and decent movesets. Just plan ahead. If you struggle with Victory Road pokemon, try lower level areas such as Cinnabar Mansion or Seafoam Islands.

If you intend to train a Fire/Steel/Normal/Electric type pokemon, Cinnabar and Seafoam might be easier for you. It all depends on the moves your pokemon has access to, because some places will naturally be easier to train in than others.
