* {{p|Bulbasaur}} is | * {{p|Bulbasaur}} is easy for a beginner. It has the type advantage over the {{gy|Pewter}}, {{gy|Cerulean}}, and {{gy|Viridian}} Gyms, and it resists the Pokémon in the {{gy|Vermilion}} and {{gy|Celadon}} Gyms. It is also immune to the {{status|Poison}} status ailment. It may have trouble with the {{gy|Saffron}} and {{gy|Cinnabar}} Gyms if the player does not have other Pokémon to back it up. Bulbasaur's final form, {{p|Venusaur}}, is capable of learning {{m|Earthquake}}, a useful move when facing {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Due to Sludge Bomb being unobtainable until post Elite 4, Venusaur will only have Grass type moves for STAB. It can learn Razor leaf, a grass type move with a high critical hit ratio, and can be taught more powerful grass moves like [[Frenzy Plant]] and [[SolarBeam]]. | ||
* {{p|Charmander}} is | * {{p|Charmander}} is difficult for a beginner, since it will be at a disadvantage early on. However, it learns {{m|Metal Claw}} on level 13, which gives it a fighting chance at the [[Pewter Gym]]. Adding to this, its disadvantages are done with after the Cerulean Gym. While Charmander's only real advantage is at the [[Celadon Gym]], you will still be able to deal with the remaining Gyms fairly well. Its final evolution, {{p|Charizard}}, is noted for being quite powerful, and is capable of learning {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Earthquake}} to deal with its {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Electric}} weaknesses. {{m|Dragon Claw}} is also an option for dealing with Lance's Dragon types. It will learn {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} via level up for STAB. And the player may teach it more powerful STAB moves like {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Overheat}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}}. | ||
* {{p|Squirtle}} is | * {{p|Squirtle}} is medium for a beginner. It can defeat the Pewter, Cinnabar, and Viridian Gyms without much effort, but can do little against the {{gy|Vermilion}} and {{gy|Celadon}} Gyms. Its movepool is relatively limited, and it may have trouble against the other {{type|Water}} Pokémon in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. Squirtle's final evolution, {{p|Blastoise}}, is capable of learning {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Ground}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Earthquake}} to cover its weaknesses. For STAB, it can learn {{m|Surf}} as well as {{m|Hydro Cannon}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. | ||

During the battle, Oak will explain a few basics. If the player's Pokémon is running low on {{stat|HP|health}}, use the {{DL|Potion|Potion}} from the PC. Regardless of which two Pokémon face off, their chances of winning are about the same; none of them know any moves of their own type, so Blue has no advantage just yet. When the battle ends, he leaves the Lab. | During the battle, Oak will explain a few basics.
