Time for a Trade

Visit the house next to the Pokémon Center to find an old man who would like to trade Pokémon. He is willing to part with his Jynx in exchange for a Poliwhirl. Poliwhirl can only be found by using a high-level fishing rod.

Gym Badges, Explained

The northwest house belongs to a man who offers to explains the effects of the eight Gym Badges. Half of them give a slight power boost to a respective stat, while the other half ensure a Pokémon's obedience during battle. The first five unlock the use of field moves.

	Thunder Badge	Increases Speed, Allows Fly in the field		Rainbow Badge	Ensures obedience up to level 50, Allows Strength in the field

Medicine Man

The north-northwest house belongs to an old man. When provided with the required amount of Berry Powder, he is able to concoct a variety of medicines. On your first visit, he gives out the Powder Jar, which stores any and all Berry Powder obtained from the Berry Crush minigame.

Berry Powder EnergyPowder 50 units Energy Root 80 units Heal Powder 50 units Revival Herb 300 units Protein 1,000 units Iron 1,000 units Carbos 1,000 units Calcium 1,000 units Zinc 1,000 units HP Up 1,000 units PP Up 3,000 units

Bike Shop

It would be great to get a Bicycle from the Bike Shop in the southwest part of town, but they cost a whopping $1,000,000! It is not possible to carry that much money, so it looks like you are stuck traveling on foot for now.

Breaking, Entering

The house in the northeast is currently blocked off by a police officer. It seems that Team Rocket has broken into the home and stolen a valuable item from its residents. Nothing can be done to remedy this at the moment, so set your sights on the Gym instead.

Cerulean Gym

Cerulean Gym

The Cerulean Gym specializes in Water-type Pokémon. Water-type moves are super effective against Fire-, Ground-, and Rock-type Pokémon, while Water-type Pokémon are weak to Electric- and Grass-type moves.

Take out Misty's Staryu quickly to move on to her Starmie. Her second Pokémon is both stronger and faster than Staryu, making its Water Pulse especially painful to vulnerable Pokémon. Use Pikachu's ThunderShock, or Grass moves like Vine Whip and Bullet Seed, to deal serious damage and make quick work of it.

After the battle, Misty awards you the Cascade Badge, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 30 and enables the use of Cut in the field. She also gives you TM03 (Water Pulse) as a prize.

Rival Battle 3

When you head toward Route 24, Blue appears and taunts you as usual before drawing you into another battle. He leads with his Pidgeotto, so start off with Electric- and Rock-type attacks. His Abra is a sitting duck as its only move does not deal any damage, making a good opportunity to earn experience for your lower-leveled Pokémon. Rattata's Quick Attack lets it move first regardless of its Speed and Hyper Fang can inflict a good bit of damage, so try to take it out quickly. His first Pokémon is more of a threat now that it has learned a damaging move that matches its type. This same-type attack bonus boosts its power by 50%. Avoid pitting your own first Pokémon against his, or your Pokémon could take serious damage.
