The main change to Blue's team is that his {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Rhydon}} have been replaced by {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. They along with {{p|Alakazam}} and the rest of his team depending on what your [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] was have new movesets that can also counter most types they are weak to aside from {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Exeggutor}}. | The main change to Blue's team is that his {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Rhydon}} have been replaced by {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}.

Any {{type|Flying}} move should be able to quickly defeat {{p|Heracross}}, as it is 4× super effective. {{p|Tyranitar}} also has a 4× weakness to the {{type|Fighting}}, so be sure to take it out as quickly as possible before it is able to inflict heavy damage with its extremely high {{Stat|Attack}} stat. {{p|Exeggutor}} also has a quadruple weakness to the {{type|Bug}}, so any Pokémon can learn a {{type|Bug}} move like {{m|Signal Beam}} (for example: {{p|Dewgong}} will be able to wipe it out). {{p|Alakazam}} is also weak to the {{type|Bug}} as well as the {{type|Dark}} and the {{type|Ghost}}, and its terrible {{Stat|Defense}} can be exploited. Beware of its extremely high {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, however. {{p|Gyarados}} is very difficult to deal with, as it has {{a|Intimidate}}, good Defense, {{Stat|Special Defense}}, {{Stat|Speed}}, and very high Attack. It has a quadruple weakness to the {{type|Electric}}, but its {{m|Earthquake}} can quickly destroy any {{type|Electric}} Pokémon that it outspeeds. {{p|Arcanine}} is powerful and fast, but it cannot counter any {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, or {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. His [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] is the most difficult: all three of his starters can counter their weaknesses. Fortunately, Charizard has a 4× weakness to the {{type|Rock}}, and both {{p|Blastoise}} and {{p|Venusaur}} are fairly slow, with {{p|Venusaur}} having many weaknesses. A powerful, diverse team is needed to take down Blue. Some recommended Pokémon are: {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Dewgong}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Machamp}}, as well as the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]]. | ||
