With one of the [[legendary birds]] caught, let's hunt down {{p|Zapdos|the second}}. Like with {{p|Articuno}}, be advised to bring a large number of {{DL|Poké Ball|Ultra Ball}}s.  To reach the [[Power Plant]], venture east from {{ci|Cerulean}} towards [[Rock Tunnel]].  Instead, at the tall grass north of the Poké Center, {{m|Surf|swim}} out into the river and follow it south.  It's not far to the southern shore, where a lone PokéManiac is loitering around. Hop onto dry land and get ready to face some {{type2|Electric}}s!
With the first of the [[legendary birds]] caught, let's hunt down the second. Like with {{p|Articuno}}, it's best to bring a large supply of {{ball|Ultra}}s.

This old abandoned building still has a few items lying around, but beware: some of the items are actually {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in disguise. Just past the entrance room is a {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}}, and further along is a second "item", a Voltorb. The room to the right is a dead-end with both a Voltorb and Electrode, just waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting Trainer. Continue south to the exterior wall, and pick up {{TM|33|Reflect}}. Head to the east, and grab {{TM|25|Thunder}} in the southeast room. Follow the narrow hallway to the north and west to find a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} and an {{DL|Vitamin|HP Up}} in the northeast room. Continue west and zigzag a bit to reach the final room.


[[Image:Zapdos_battle.png|thumb|left|Zapdos, the legendary bird of lightning.]]
{{p|Zapdos}} makes its nest in the deepest room of the Power Plant. Like with Articuno, save your progress before battling it. It won't go down without a fight, so whittle its health down and try inflicting a status condition before attempting to capture it.


[[Power Plant|This decrepit building]] has a few items strewn around, but a word of caution: some of the items are actually {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in disguise.  Just past the entrance room is a {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}}, and further along is a {{p|Voltorb|second item ball}}.  The room to the right is a dead-end with both a Voltorb and Electrode, just waiting to pounce on an {{player|unsuspecting Trainer}}.  Continue south to the exterior wall, and pick up the {{TM|33|Reflect}}.  Head to the east, and grab the {{TM|25|Thunder}} in the southeast room.  Follow the narrow hallway to a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} and an {{DL|Vitamin|HP Up}} in the northeast room.  All that's left to do is head to the west.

In the time that it took you to collect the seven other badges, the leader of [[Viridian Gym]] has finally returned.  None of the locals seem to know the identity of this [[Giovanni|figure in the shadows]], but it's certainly a familiar face...
[[Giovanni]] returned to his Gym Leader position after his defeat in [[Saffron City]]. His Gym turns out to be a favorite training spot for those who favor {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Water}}-, and {{type|Ice}} attacks will see the greatest effectiveness. {{t|Flying}} Pokémon are immune to Ground-type attacks, and can deal major damage to the several {{t|Fighting}} types here. The same Water Pokémon that put a damper on the [[Cinnabar Gym]] can use moves like {{m|Surf}} to terrorize their terrestrial opponents. {{t|Psychic}} moves will work wonders against foes like {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Take out Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}} quickly; its {{m|Fissure}} and {{m|Horn Drill}} moves can knock out an opponent in [[One-hit knockout move|one hit]]!
 
After his defeat in {{ci|Saffron}}, [[Giovanni]] returned to his post as leader of the Viridian Gym. His Gym turns out to be a favorite training spot for {{type2|Ground}} Trainers, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{t|Water}}-types should have no trouble here. {{type2|Flying}}s will be immune to Ground-type attacks, as well. Keep {{m|Surf|flooding}} the battlefield, and the junior Trainers won't last long.

Congratulations on defeating the eighth and final Gym! The {{badge|Earth}} commands attention of all Pokémon, regardless of level. Giovanni gives you {{TM|27|Fissure}}, a TM he claims to have made when he originally acted as Gym Leader. He seems remorseful of his actions with [[Team Rocket]], and he officially disbands the gang before disappearing.

Revision as of 04:15, 28 April 2017

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Red and Blue.
These pages follow the original Game Boy iteration, not FireRed and LeafGreen. The guide for those games can be found here.


The Power Plant

Inside the Power Plant
Look out for those Voltorb!
Zapdos, the legendary bird of lightning

With the first of the legendary birds caught, let's hunt down the second. Like with Articuno, it's best to bring a large supply of Ultra Balls.

This old abandoned building still has a few items lying around, but beware: some of the items are actually Voltorb and Electrode in disguise. Just past the entrance room is a Carbos, and further along is a second "item", a Voltorb. The room to the right is a dead-end with both a Voltorb and Electrode, just waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting Trainer. Continue south to the exterior wall, and pick up TM33 (Reflect). Head to the east, and grab TM25 (Thunder) in the southeast room. Follow the narrow hallway to the north and west to find a Rare Candy and an HP Up in the northeast room. Continue west and zigzag a bit to reach the final room.

Zapdos makes its nest in the deepest room of the Power Plant. Like with Articuno, save your progress before battling it. It won't go down without a fight, so whittle its health down and try inflicting a status condition before attempting to capture it.

Viridian Gym

VIRIDIAN CITY
POKéMON GYM

In the time it took to collect the seven other badges, the leader of Viridian Gym has finally returned. None of the locals seem to know the identity of this mysterious figure, but it's certainly a familiar face.

Giovanni returned to his Gym Leader position after his defeat in Saffron City. His Gym turns out to be a favorite training spot for those who favor Ground-type Pokémon, so Grass-, Water-, and Ice-type attacks will see the greatest effectiveness. Flying Pokémon are immune to Ground-type attacks, and can deal major damage to the several Fighting types here. The same Water Pokémon that put a damper on the Cinnabar Gym can use moves like Surf to terrorize their terrestrial opponents. Psychic moves will work wonders against foes like Arbok, Nidoking, and Nidoqueen. Take out Giovanni's Rhydon quickly; its Fissure and Horn Drill moves can knock out an opponent in one hit!

Viridian Gym
The Earth Badge



Congratulations on defeating the eighth and final Gym! The Earth Badge commands attention of all Pokémon, regardless of level. Giovanni gives you TM27 (Fissure), a TM he claims to have made when he originally acted as Gym Leader. He seems remorseful of his actions with Team Rocket, and he officially disbands the gang before disappearing.

With all eight Gym badges collected, the way to Indigo Plateau is finally open. Gather a team with access to Surf and Strength, and stop by a Poké Mart to replenish your supply of Potions and Ultra Balls. The elite Trainers at Indigo Plateau are tough enough, but you'll never defeat them if you can't first get through Victory Road, a grueling tunnel with the third legendary bird roosting deep inside.

Head west to Route 22.
