It would be best to use the three legendary birds, and Mew, if you got it. Then you can get a Haunter and any other Pokemon, maybe a Rock-type like Graveler or a Water-type like Lapras, or even a Dragonair.

I used pikachu and zapdos for Lorlei. Articuno for Bruno. Mew for agatha. Articuno and dragonite against Lance. Kept my Lapras for gary. It's the best choice
Kenny 2x4 answered:

Usually the Legendary Birds: Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno, but you can have others like Blastoise, Charizard, Venasaur, Alakazam, Haunter, Gengar, Snorlax, Arcanine, Magmar, Machamp, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Dragonite, Aerodactyle. Basically the really powerful ones.

skyline specialist answered:

There are 4 types of trainers but they are all elemental so here are the following:
Ice
Earth
Ghost
Dragon
So here are the list of pokemons I would recommend them:
Pikachu: for the first trainer
Blastoise/alakazam/lapras will be the best option for the second trainer
Psychic related will work well on this trainer.
Use a ice-type Pokemon for the final trainer. Use pikachu because he has aerodactyl and he is vulnerable to thunder type. As for the rest just use ice type.

Xbox_gamer_12 answered:

I like to have at least one good electric pokemon(Zapdos, Raichu, Electabuzz) for the 1st trainer, a good psychic or water pokemon(Alakazam, Mew, Mewtwo, Mr. Mime) for the 2nd, a Pokemon that knows an attack like earthquake, dig, or any strong earth-type attack for the ghosts and a psychic for the rest of the 3rd trainers, and an ice pokemon(Lapras, Cloyster) for the dragons with the 4th. You will need multiple types for gary at the end.

Guest answered:

I have Charizard, Venasaur, Blastoise, Raichu, Alakazam and Mewtwo and that works pretty well. Even though I have two Psychic pokemon it's fine because their only weakesses are bug and ghost (but the only three ghosts in the game are also poision which psychic is super-effective on). As for bug, when have you ever heard of someone having a lvl. 100 beedrill or butterfree?

Guest said: 6th Sep 2012 | REPORT
he's right. its not a glitched pokemon really..depending on what you name yourself in pokemon blue, you can see a variety of pokemon over level 100. It's decided by your 3rd, 5th, and 7th letters. I have a level 255 aerodactyl because he appears at level 186 from the letter "lowercase l" when you surf up and down cinnabar island

Think I agree with this team. Charizard over moltres is a fun choice. Anyone can win the elite four with just mewtwo. Or legendaries. Make it hard for yourself. Use no legendaries and no phycics or dragons. 3 starters a jolteon and then u can go from there.
Guest answered:

I think that psyhic Pokemon,fire Pokemon, water Pokemon, bug Pokemon and flying or ground Pokemon are the good choice.

I do not agree with you, how can a team be balanced if 4 pokemons have the same weakness?
Poliwrath, Aerodactyl,
Gyarados and Charizard are all weak to Electric.
Pikachu and Venusaur are both weak to Ground.
So a Pikachu and a Dugtrio/Golem/Nidoking/queen would bash your whole team easily.

Let's go

Guest answered:

Dragonite(catch Dratini in safari zone then raise it, give it thunder[in power plant], ice beam[top floor of biggest poke mart and give the girl water, lemonade, and soda], surf or fire blast[fire blast won in fire gym], and hyper beam[learned]. The three legendary birds[when you meet with them save before facing them and if you do not catch them then just turn it off and try again! A psychic Pokemon(I ue venemoth and he works really well with sleep powder, stun spore, psybeam, and psychic). And aerodactyl(find the fossil and take it to cinnabar city I think to the lab, the last door, and they will bring him back to life. These 6 are basically unstoppable. Here are other strong Pokemon suggestions: pikachu, clefairy, rhydon, graveler, lapras, charizard, venasaur, blastoise, staru,maybe executtor, hitmonchan or hitmonlee, cloyster, arkanine, gengar. Sorry if this is long, but just trying to help! Here is the final successful team
Dragonite
Moltres
Articuno
Zapidos
Any Psychic Pokemon(venemoth for me)
Aerodactyl

Guest answered:

Mew (or Mewtwo)
Dragonite (or gyarados)
Charizard (or moltres)
Venusaur (Or Zapdos)
Blastoise(or articuno)
Pidgeot (or Machamp)

Though these are more mine on preference of Pokemon then actuall stats.

Guest said: 28th Jul 2016 | REPORT
Isn't leftovers 2nd gen? Though rest/recover would do the same.
Guest answered:

Pikachu (because you already spent time training, and it's a strong electric type if you take the time with it.)

Pidgeot

Charizard (Good fire type, and you get early, Arcaine works well too)

Eevee (Vaporeon for it's ice attacks, Jolteon if you don't keep pikachu, Flareon if you don't like the other fire options *but flareon, while my fav, is low on defense.*

Gengar (if you can) is what I use, but if you're new, I would use Alakazam (if you can) or Hypno (good strong fall back)

Dragonite (can learn good attacks and works really well against Gary)

Guest answered:

I'm planning on using

Haunter - Trade to evolve into Gengar
Moveset - Hypnosis - Dream Eater - Confuse Ray - Night Shade

Cloyster - Defence is awesome
Moveset - Blizzard - Clamp - Surf - Aurora Beam

Kadabra - Trade to evolve into Alakazam
Moveset - Psybeam - Psychic - Confusion - Recover

Zapdos - Strong Electric type
Moveset - Thunder Shock - Drill Peck - Thunder - Sky Attack

Articuno - Strong Ice type
Moveset - Blizzard - Ice Beam - Fly - Rest

Moltres - Strong Fire type
Moveset - Peck - Fire Spin

Anyone have any recommendations on what better moves for the legendary birds would be? OR better moves for my other Pokemon?

Guest answered:

I'd go with the following Pokemon:

Pika/Raichu - Decent Pokemon
Blastoise - Every Starter
Venusaur - is Decent
Charizard - or Good
Machamp - Great attack
Mewtwo - Very high Sp. Att and Speed

I might change Blastoise for Lapras, Lapras has better types I think and his stats come pretty close to Blastoise's Stats.

Btw, Psychic Pokemon are Overpowered here because the maker made a mistake. Ghost would be super effective against Psychic. Even some in-game trainers say that. But the makers of Gen. 1 made it non-effective. That and the fact that Psychic Pokemon usually can learn a huge variety of different type moves makes a very Good/Overpowered type.
Due to that, another team would be:
Mewtwo
Mew
Venemoth
Alakazam
Kadabra
Hypno

Guest answered:

Balstoise, Zapdos, Dragonite, Mew, Mewtu, Victreebel.
Yes. I win!Smile

Guest answered:

Ninetales

Guest answered:

As I only passed trough Pokemon yellow allways with only 1 main Pokemon .. I have little experience in team management.. But:

My preferred (mostly estetics and for purpuse of solo playing) team is as follow:

Nidoking - This "little" fella as been my favourite Pokemon since my first walktrough yellow Pokemon I used only him and no one else with this moveset...
(Earthquaque, Ice Beam, Tunderbold and Trash.. Yes Trash in yellow v. Is very good to clean up trainers with pokemons levels inferior to yours Smile when you reach elite four you can change it of course for a better move like surf or flametrower.

Dragonite - When I was a kid, for me this was the most rarest, precious and strongest Pokemon.. Today my opinion is very much changed, but anyway as soon as I could obtain dratini in the safari zone by fishing I would go immediatly train him intensely and then make the choise of only using dragonite or nidoking Smile

As for the rest.. Me and Tradable Evolution Pokemon allways were very close to each other xD often used for tm's (I'm sorry alakazam!)

Golem
Gengar
Machamp
Alakazam

IΒ΄m still planning on making a solo run with one of the traddable evolution pokemons.. I think I will give both machamp or alakazam a try and I will not regret it.

Guest000001 answered:

Machamp- Strength, Submission, Earthquake, Rock Slide

Arcanine- Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Double Edge, Body Slam

Pikachu- Thunderbolt, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Seismic Toss

He beat the elite four and rival alone at level 62. Had to use an elixir cause he ran out of moves. Afterwards I used pp ups to up the amount of surf, hyper beam, and body slam.

Guest answered:

Jynx
Hitmonlee
Rhydon
Dragonite
Jolteon
[your choice]
Ground, ice, fighting are the best offensive types

Guest answered:

The good thing about pkmn yellow, blue and red is that you can use a big lot of different Pokemon because they are a lot more powerfull than the other versions of pokemon.
For example, parasect is a good Pokemon in ybr and not in the others.
So this is a good choice for a team:
Parasect, electrode, starmie, flareon, machamp, and dragonite

Guest answered:

Pikachu
Charizard
Blastoise
Venasaur
Eevee (Don't evolve)
Mewtwo
'Nuff said

Guest answered:

Dugtrio (Dig)
Jolteon (Thunderbolt, Thunder)
Nidoking (Fissure, Drillhorn) Can learn tons of variety type moves.
Charizard (Fly, Flamethrower, Fireblast)
Mew/Mewtwo/Kadabra/Alakazam/Hypno/Haunter/Genger (Physic, Psybeam)
The sixth can be of your choice here are some that come to mind.
Lapras, Blastoise, Pika/Raichu, Articuno.
Here's the setup for the best and easiest way to walk through the Elite Four.
Open with Jolteon for Thunder/Bolt. Stick with Jolteon until Jynx. Use Charizard Flamethrower then switch back to Jolteon for the other Pokemon.
Nidoking/Dugtrio/Charizard. Dugtrio Dig for the rock Pokemon and Charizard Fly for the others. Nidoking's moveset will vary on what you want. Nidoking 'could' solo the whole Elite Four with the right movesets.
The third, by far the easiest, Dugtrio for everything except goldbat, use Jolteon/Charizard for it.
Lance the fourth. Assuming one of your Pokemon has Ice Beam (I think Nidoking can learn it). Send out Jolteon first for his Gyrados, switch to a Pokemon that has ice type moves for the dragons.
As for the last.. His type of Pokemon vary on what you had during the playthrough. Dugtrio Dig can easily demolish most of his team.
Here are moves that is a must have.
Dig, Fly, Ice Beam, Surf, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower,
Psychic

Guest answered:

I just about walked through all four with a level 52/53 (leveled up through the competition) Hypno. The combination of Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Confusion and Seismic Toss results in a versatile fighter that, once Hypnosis is effective, can knock out anything either psychically or physically.

Supporting characters were Articuno (it's Ice Beam is lethal), Zapdos (save the Thunder TM for it), Moltres (ditto the Fire Blast TM), Dewgong (the Surf HM is good against fire/ground types) and Gloom (use Sleep Powder in combination with Mega Drain, the Cut HM and Solar Beam TM).

My strategy throughout was to lead with Hypnosis/Sleep Powder and then rotate the most effective Pokemon in to finish, or finish with force via Seismic Toss. Make sure you have some ethers or elixers as you only have 20 shots with Hypnosis.

Incidentally, this strategy worked wonders even against the psychic gym leader, as psychic defenses are generally weak and, so long as they're hypnotized, they cannot use their regenerative abilities.

Guest answered:

A Mew with thunder, dig, psychic and earthquake. And a Dragonite with surf, ice beam, body slam and hyper beam.

Guest answered:

I would choose a balanced team:

Pikachu
Charizard
Blastoise
Venusaur
Alakazam
Machamp

Guest answered:

Pikachu- thunderbolt, thunder, agility or thunder wave(useful for catching Pokemon throughout the game), and slam---- next option would be zapados or jolteon

Charizard- fireblast, flamethrower, fly, and slash---- next option arcanine, not big on moltres

Venusaur- solarbeam, razorleaf, cut, and megadrain

Lapras(very versatile)- icebeam, surf, psychic, and hydro pump---- next option articuno (only legendary bird I would use because of type)

Dragonite(most versatile)- icebeam(tm), thunder(tm), hyperbeam, and slam

Alakazam- psychic, psybeam, flash or reflect, and recover

Once lapras and dragonite are strong enough, you could run through the elite four with just ONE of them and use weaker Pokemon with exp. Share to level up

I like this lineup, but it is not statistically the strongest in the game.

Guest answered:

Charizard - Fire
Blastoise - Water
Venasaur - Grass
Articuno - Ice
Zapdos - Electric
Dragonite - Dragon

Guest answered:

The best team is my team which is Mew,mewtwo,dragonite.pikachu charizard and blastoise possible change for zapdos and articuno

Guest answered:

Venasuar-Grass
Blastoise-Water
Charizard-Fire
Raichu-Electric
Pigeot-Flying
Haunter-Ghost
Good team beat the elite four with!

Guest answered:

1) pikachu
2) venasuar
3) charizard
4) blastoise
5) articuno
6) gengar or Mew-two
With this selection it's possible to defeate the elite 4 with all Pokemon at level 45.

Guest answered:

As someone who has given this a lot of contemplation and research, here is a list of recommended Pokemon to use (Non Legendaries): DRAGONITE(tie with Mew for 2nd best by stats of all Pokemon in red/blue/yellow) Gyarados,Lapras, Tauros, snorlax, Golem, Jolteon, Gengar, Alakazam, Aerodactyl, arcanine, cloyster, blastoise, venosuar, charizard, Machamp, Tentacruel, Nidoking. (legendaries): MEWTWO(contrary to popular belief it is in fact much more powerful than Mew) Mew(ties dragonite) zaptos, articuno, moltres. Make a team from these options.

Now knowing all this whats the best lineup? In theory it is: Mewtwo, Mewtwo, Mewtwo, Mewtwo, Mewtwo, Mewtwo, but lets keep it practical.

You want a fast Pokemon first, so I recommend Jolteon(Ties mewtwo and aerodactyl for 2nd fastest in game and learns the UNDERRATED pin missile move)
In the elite 4 you will need a psychic type to beat the 3rd trainer, so mewtwo/Alakazam(if you're not using legendaries).
You will need a flying type/ghost type to beat the 2nd trainer, so choose aerodactyl/articuno/Gengar(tip teach gengar psychic)
You will need an ice moves to beat lance. I avoid all ice types in my line up, instead I taught blizzard to Dragonite and ice beam to gyarados, but articuno is a satisfactory choice as well.
The above Pokemon will be enough to beat gary. Jolteon will defeat his pideot/Farrow, Alakazam, gyarodos and exeggcute/cloyster with pin missile and electric moves. A gyarodos/lapras will defeat ryhorn/sandslash. As for his starter, pick one of the before mentioned.

Here's what I use and believe is the best lineup in the game:
Jolteon: pin missile, thunderbolt(use instead of thunder as it has higher expected damage because of low accuracy with thunder), quick attack, thunder wave
Gyarodos: surf, ice beam hyperbeam, hydropump)
Gengar: Psychic, night shade, hypnosis, dream eater
Aerodactyl :Toxic and Supersonic (make for a great combination) fly, hyperbeam
Mewtwo: Amnesia(UNDERRATED MOVE do it once and your next psychic hit will likely be a 1 hit KO), recover, thunderbolt
Dragonite: I like body slam(100% accurate, high damage, and 30% chance of paralysis) fire blast, thunder, and blizzard BUT... If you're feeling cruel and strategic, a smart player would do Agility and wrap, you can abuse the wrap move without ever taking a hit if you are fast enough after agility move.

You can substitute tauros/snorlax for gengar and golem for aerodactyl.

(I also recommend duplicating the best TM moves in the game like thunderbolt)

Guest answered:

Charizard
Blastoise/Lapras
Zapdos
Gengar
Nidoking/Nidoqueen
And offcourse SNORLAX, he just rocks. You can teach him almost every move... Fire Blast, Blizzard, Hyper Beam and Thunder... What's not to love about this one???

Guest answered:

I use the following:

Pikachu: Level 55
Blastoise: Level 55 (knows ice beam and surf)
Charizard: Level 50 (knows Dig)
Venusaur: Level 50
Dragonite: Level 55 (knows Thunder, Blizzard, Fire Blast, Hyper Beam)
Hypno: Level 45 or 50 (Psychic, Hypnosis, Dreameater, Confusion)

I REALLY THINK , WITH MEDIOCRE STATS LIKE THE SANDSHREW FAMILY , YOU WONT STAND A CHANCE IF YOU DONT EVOLVE HIM , THINK OF IT AS A LIL SAREFICE TO MAKE A BIG DIFRENCE , I KNOW SANDSLASH IS UGLY AND YOUR PROB A CHICK WHO LIKES CUTE POKEMON SO WHATABOUT DUGTRIO? HE CAN BE CAUGHT AT LEVEL 29 IN TH DIGLET CAVE WITH SOME FAST STATS AND VERY GOOD STAB EARTHQUAKE THAT WILL STOMP ALL OVER THE ROCEKTS POISON TYPES AND YOU DONT NEED A TM LIKE WITH SANDSHREW FOR STAB BONUS

, I RECOMEND DROPPING PIKACHU UNLESS YOU CAN EVOLVE HIM ON ANOTHER GAME OR READ UP ON THE WRONG ITEM EFFECT FORCE EVOLUTION GLTICH , I KNOW ITS NOT EASY SO BEST GET CRYSTAL OR RED LOL

GYRADOS , GO TO THE PWOERPLANT AND GET TM25 THUNDER , DONT USE TM 24 , GIVE THAT TO ZAPDOS OR MEW , PREFERABLY ZAPDOS AS IT GETS ONLY THUNDERSHOK OR THUNDER WHICH ARE EITHER CRAP OR INACURAE AND I KNOW YOU WILL END UP USING IT SOONER OR LATER LIKE AT THE ELITE 4 IT MAKES LIFE REALLY EASY IF YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ZAPDOS MISSIG ANF GETTING

I WOULD RECOMMEND CATCHING MOLTRES ON VICTORY ROAD , PARALYSE OR FREEZE IT AND IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE ONE OR TWO ULTRA OR GREAT BALLS IF it's HP IS RED OR NEAR FINSHED

AND NOT JUST CATCH IT AND THROW IT OUT IN BATTLE , BASICALLY YOU NEED TO SEND IT TO CRYSTAL AND GET THE CRYSTAL AVATAR TO TAK IT TO GOLDENROD AND PUT THE FLAMETHROWER TM ON IT FOR 4000 CREDITS THEN TRADE IT BACK , BUT KEEP FIRE SPIN AND HAVE LOADS OF X ACURACYS

THE TACTIC WITH MOLTRES IS , BASICALLY IF it's LEVEL 55 TO 60 YOU SHOULD GET THE FIRST MOVE AGAINST ALL Pokemon SAV FOR GENGAR

WHAT YOU NEED TO DOIS USE FIRE SPIN , AND IT TRAPS THEM FROM MAKEING A MOVE , EITHER USE FIRE SPIN THEN don't PRESS ATTACK , GO TO ITEMS AND USE X ACCURACY , NOW FIRE SPIN CAN RANDOMLY DO EITHER 2 TO 5 TUNS DAMAGE , SO IF YOU GET LUCKY AND don't MISS WHICH 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME YO don't , YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE UP AN X ACURACY AND STIL HAVE THE Pokemon TRAPPED RTHER THEN IT GETTING A TRN WHICH ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS THEN EVERY TURN IF YOU EITHER USE FIRE SPIN OR IT DOES THE 3 TO5 CYCLES , THE ENEMY CANNOT GET AN ATTACK IN , YOU CAN RISK TAKING ONE TURN DAMAGE AND DOING THE ACCURACY BOST FIRST BUT it's NOT ADVISED AGAINST ELECTRICS , ICE OR WATERS THIS WAY AS IT WILL DO LOTS OF DAMAGE TO MOLTRES , IF YOU DO GO THAT ROUTE NUMBER TWO YOU COULD ALWAYS DIRECTLY AFTER SELECTING FIRE SPIN USE THE POTION AND STIL TRAP TI TURN 3 , BUT MAKE SURE it's ONLY ON THE SECOND TURN OF FIRE SPIN YOU USE IT AS ANY LATERS ASKING TO GET HIT , THIS SHOULD LEVEL UP MOLTRES DRASTICALLY ,

SO THE STRATERGY IS TO GET IN THE WRAP WITH FIRE SPIN AND WHEN it's TRAPPED SEAL THE DEAL WITH X AC , AND WHEN THE HEALT OF THE ENEMY GETS BELOW A THIRD , IF YOU DO NORMAL OR SUPER DAMAGE THEN FLAMETHROWER WILL SEAL THE DEAL NEXT TIME YOU CHOOSE A MOVE , CAUSE OFTEN I FIND IF YOU TRY AND USE IT AT THE LAST PART OF THE ENEMYS LIFE THEY ALWAYS USE A POTION OR FULL RESTORE , AND I'm PRETTY SURE FIRE SPIN HAS A LOW CHANE TO BURN TOO , BUT THIS IS WHY FLAMETHROWER IS NEEDED FROM CRYSTAL , YOU CAN SEND MOLTRES THROUGH GYM LEADER CASTLE ON STADIUM2 TO GET FLAMETHROWE VIA MOVE RELERN , AS MOLTRES' MOVESET IS DESIGNED O LEVEL 49 IT HAS FLAMETHROWER BUT OFC THIS WAS DNE SO IT COULD ONLY GET IT THIS WAY SHORT OF HAX MOLTRES ON GEN2


NOW WITH THE MAIN TACTIC FOR ELITE FOUR OUT THE WA , CAUSE LETS FACE IT MAX ACCURACY AT THE START OF THE BATTLE PLUS HIGH SPEED AND FIRE SPIN OR ANY WRAP MOVES EQUALS YOU ALWAYS WIN BUT ...


INCASE YOU don't WIN THIS WAY AND YOUR UNLUCKY TO GET A 2 TURN FIRE SPIN LEAVING UOU OPEN OR CAUSING A FAINT , I ADVISE OOKING UP HOW TO DO THE MEWGLITCH AND GETTING A LEVEL 7 Mew FROM ANY OF THE Mew GLITCH TRIGERS IN THE GEN1 GAMES AND YES AGAIN SENDING TO GOLD OR SILVER TO GET MANY TMS YOU CANUSE WITH IT THEN SEND BACK TO YELLOW

I LIKE ROCK SLIDE FRO M GEN1 TM49 , IT LEARNS PSYCHIC NATURALLY , THEN I GIVE IT THUNDER PUNCH AND ICE PUNCH OR EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE CRYSTAL GET TO THE MOVE TUTOR FOR EITHER FLAMETHROWER , THUNDERBOLT OR ICE BEAM ALSO WHICH ARE STRONGER THEN THE PUNCHES BUT NOT BY MUCH SO YOULL BE OK IF YO HAVE G/S

Mew IS AN ASSET TO ANY TEMA , ESPECIALLY WITH THEM MULTI EFFECTIVITY MOVESETS , YO MAY EVEN CONSIDER SUBMISSION FOR Mew IF YOU ARE TO BE SENDING HIM OVER TO HELP YOU PLAY THROUGH G/S/C AFTER AS HE NEEDS COVERAGE AGAINST THE DARK TYPE HE IS WEAK TO IN G/S/C TBH

OKAY PRETTY OBVIOUS , FOR YOUR ELECTRIC TYPE ZAPDOS OR JOLTEON , JOLTEON IS GOOD BECAUSE HE CAN COUNTER PSYCHICS WITH PIN MISSILE AND ROCK TYPES WITH DOUBLE KICK WHEREAS ZAPDOS HAS MORE WEAKNESSES BUT BETTER ATTACK AND SPECIAL TO USE DRILL PECK WITH AND THUNDERBOLT , BUT AS I SAID JOLTS IS FASTER AND ONLY WEAK TO GROUND SO CHOOSE WISELY THEY ARE BOTH FAST , ELECTA BUZZ IS GOOD TOO BUT HES NOT IN YELLOW SO A TRADED POKE WONT GROW AS STRONG


THIS IS THE POINT IN THE GAME I WOULD SAY , IF YOU can't TRADE PIKACHU TO EVOLVE HIM FORGET USING IT AS it's DEFENCE IS USELESS , ONE HIT FROM ANYTHING HERE EVEN IF it's WELL OVERLEVELED AT SAY LV 70 I WILL GET SWEPT , SO EVOLVE IT BY TRADEING TO ANOTHER GAME AND USE THUNDERSTONE AND BEAT STADIUM ROUND 2 AND HE GETS SURF !!!! SO ONLY THEN WOULD I BOTHER , AND PLUS YO SHOULDNT BE TOO BOTHERED IF IT STOPS FOLLOWING YOU AS AFTER THESE 5 BATTLES THE ENTIRE GAME STOPS (SAV FOR SENDING Pokemon DEX ENTRIES FROM G/S/C TO FINISH THE POKEDEX it's ALL YOU CAN ATUALLY DO THEN), AND WHO WANTS TO FIGHT THE SAME 5 TRAINERS IN A ROW AND ONLY THEM ? FORGET KEEPING IT AS A PIKA , EVOLVE IT HE WILL APRECIATE THE STRENGTH IT GAINS BY EVOLUTION JUST don't DO IT BEFORE LEVEL 26 WHEN IT GETS THUNDERBOLT UNLESS YOUR IN A RUSH AND HAVE BOUGHT THUNDERPUNCH IN G/S/C AND CAN TEACH IT TO RICHU , AVOID THUNDER AT ANY COST , FOR 20 EXTRA DAMAGE it's NOT WORTH MISSING EVERY SO OFTEN


SO WE HAVE ZAPDOS , Mew , MOLTRES , CHARIZARD CAN FILL THE SAME ROLE AS MOLTRES BUT MOLTRES IS FASTER AND BIGGER DEFENCE AND ACTUALLY GETS LY AND SKY ATTACK IN RED/BLUE WHERAS CHARIZARD GETS NO FLYING MOVE TIL YELLOW , AND ZAPDOS CAN BE REPLACED BY JOLTZ WITH A GOOD SET , TRY TOXIC ON THESE TOW WITH THE GENERCI MOVES EVERY1 USES ...

I WOULD SAY GO FOR A GOLEM OR DUGTRIO NEXT , THEY BOTH GET ROCK AND GROUND ATTACKS , DUGGYS FASTER THOUGH AND LESS WEAKNESES AND don't NEED A TRADE TO EVOLVE

Don't USE ARTICUNO , USE BLASTOISE OR LAPRAS , REMEMBER ARTICUNO IS WEAK TO ROCK MOVES WHICH BRUNO PACKS LIKE NO TOMMOROW ON EVERYTHING (TO COUNTER FLYING TYPES OFC) , A WATER Pokemon WITH AN ICE ATTACK IS ALWAYS LESS AT RISK THEN A Pokemon WHOES ICE TYPE AND OR ICE FLYING AND OR WATER ICE SO , SUFFER THE NO STAB FOR MORE LASTABILITY IN BATTLE AND HOPE FOR FREEZES ,


TO BE FAIR YOU don't NEED FLYING AND PSYCHIC TYPE POKEON BUT IF YOU DUAL TYE EITHER FIRE OR ELECTRIC WITH FLYING YOUVE GOT MORE OPTIONS , USE MOLTRES AND JOLTEON , BLASTOISE Mew , DUGTRIO IS SUPER EFFECTIVE WITH STAB EARTHQUAKE ON ONIX AND HE WILL HIT FIRST AND SLASH GETS LOTS OF CRITS


IF YOU ONLY USE THESE 5 IT WILL TAKE SHORTER TIME TO GET THEM ALL TO LEVEL 555 TO 60 , I WOULDNT GO THEIR WITH NYTHING LESS THEN LEVEL 53'S IF YOUR NOT MDE OF MONEY AND FULL RESTORES, ALSO BUY A MASSIVE STOCK OF LEMONADES , ALWASY CARRY LEMONADES AND KNOW HOW MUCH EACH HELING ITEM YOU HAVE DOES AND LOOK AT THIS WHEN OU HEAL IN AND OUT OF BATTLE , ONLY USE A FULL RRESTORE WHEN YOU HAVE A STATUS CONDITION AND NEED MAJOR HP DAMAGE OR IN NEED OF URGENT HEALING IN BOTH WAYS , don't BOTHER WITHMAX POTIONS , JUST GET HYPER POTIONS , FOR THE EXTRA 500 YOU GET NOTHING MUCH MORE , WHO REALLY HAS MORE THEN 200 HP AT LEVEL 60 ANYWAY APART FORM MAYBE CHANSEY WHO IS CRAP IN GEN1 DUE TO THE BAD SPLITT OF SP AND ATTK

IWOULD ADVISE PUTTING ANY Pokemon IN 6TH YOU can't CARE ABOUT WHO YOU CAN SEND OUT TO USE UP A TURN WHILST YOU HEAL JUST INCASE , OR IF YOU NEED TO HEAL someone WITH A TYPE ADVANTAGE AND YOU HAVE someone WHO WIL NOT BE DOING MUCH GOOD IN THAT BATLE ITSELF USE THEM TO TAKE A HIT WHILST YOU HEAL , ALWAYS SAVE MAX REVEIES, MAX ELIXERS AND THAT CRAP YOU can't BUY BUT THAT HEALS FULL PP AT THE PC TIL THE ELITE 4 SO OUR PREPARED TO REHEAL , CHECK YOUR PP AND HP AFTER EVERY BATTLE AND YOU SHOULD USE THE INTERNET TO LOOK UP WALKTHROUGH FOR YOUR VERSION SO YOU KNOW WHICHIS YOUR NEXT OPPONENT , WHAT POKE THEY SEND OUT FIRST SO YOU CAN HAVE YOUR POKE WITH THE ADVANTAGE OUT 1ST , AND WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS OR IF YOU HAVE A VBAD FEELING SEND OUT MOLTRES , HT FIRE SPIN HEN AS SOON AS IT SAYS THEY can't MOVE GO DOWN RATHER THEN FIGHT , GO TOBAG LIKE I SAID HAVE X ACURACY READY , USE IT AND IF YOU DID THIS HOW I SAID YOU SHOULD NOT OF INCOURED DAMAGE AND IT SHOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE NEXT TURN OF THEM BEING TRAPPED IN YOUR 100 PERCENT ACCURATE FIRE SPINS , AND IT WONT FAIL TO HIT FOR THRE REST OF THE MATCH , SO DO THAT TIL IT ASKS YOU TO COOSE A MOVE AGAIN , IF YOUO THINK FLAMETHROWER CAN FINISH THE JOB USE THAT SO THEY can't HEAL AFTER YOU WITTLE THEM DOWN , CAUSS IF YOU GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE IT WILL WASTE FIRE SPINS PP REHEALING WHEN IT GETS TO LOW HP ON it's Pokemon RENDERING THE FIRE SPIN OWNS METHOD USELESS IF YOU don't HAVE FLAMETHROWER TO FINISH UP , I GUESS YOU COULD SUB IT WITH FIRE BLAST , I don't TRUST FIRE BLAST AND FISSURE OR THUNDER , THEIRS BEEN TIMES IN GEN1 I COME UP AGAINST A FAST POKE AND BECAUSE OF THE WAY EVASION ANDACCURACY IS AFFECTED BY SPEED IN GEN1 YOU MAY OF ATUALLY NEEDED 2 X ACS FOR FIRE BLAST RATHER THEN 1 WHICH WILL SUFFICE FOR FIRE SPIN MEANING YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON THE ODD 1 OUT OF THE 255 ODDS YOU CAN MISS, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WITH THEM 1 HIT K O MOVES IN GEN1 EVEN WITH X ACCURACY HAD BLIZZARD MISS 3 TIMES IN A ROW LOL SO JUST FLAMETHROWER AND FIRE SPIN ISSS MY ADVISE AND X AC , AND HAVE STUFF LIKE TOXIC AND FLY IN THEIR SAY ON MOLTRES OTHER SLOTS SO IT CAN FILL ANOTHER ROLE IF YOU GET A FASTER OPPONENT WHO CAN DO DAMAGE BEFORE YOU GET INTO A WRAP , THIS WILL STALL ENOUGH FOR IT TO FORCE THEM TO SWITCH , JUST HOW GEN1 OFTEN DOES LIE A GOOD OL SWITCH LOL

Errr , nidoking if you can do tradebacks with thunder and ice punch , rock slide and earthquake
Zapdos drill peck , thunderbolt use the tm on him , give him hyperbeam cause in gen1 theirs a glitch that means if you ko a poke with hyperbeam it means you don't have to recharge and idk thunderwave or even swift/double edge?
Then go for lapras with thunder,icebeam(don't waste the tm he learns it on his own),surf/hydropump and sing or bodyslam
Moltres needs a tradeback to crystal to get flamethrower or beat gym leader castle with one to get him it (it's in hes gen2 moveset at below the leve you get him at in r/b/y for the promoting of ppl buying stadium2) , get fire spin too and pack loads of x accuracys , use on the second cycle turn of fire spin to guarantee it wittles them down without missing and when they get to a third or less life use the flamethrower so they can't reheal , then fly and toxic are good ideas so it can stall for extra toxic damage

, venusaur or victreeebel , ide advise breeding with something that learns sludge in gen2 to get a good poison stab though as acids a bit pony , or you could use toxic or poinsonpowder instead I guess , but giga drain and in victrebells case breed with bulbasaur or venusaur to get leech sed and use body slam or w.e normal attack you have acess to , lapras learns body slam on it's own so youd b ok here, in venusaurs case, it gets the tm for headbutt which is great with toxic and leech seed but yet again need crystal to get this and trade back and ofc Mew not teams complete without a Mew thas had 3 trips to the move tutor for thunderbolt , flamethrower and ice beam and ofc keep psychic , be aware ancient power doesn't exist in r/b/y so it might be an idea to clone it at level 49 or shark up another for your gen1 game !!! That should defo win , you can swap moltres for charizard and swap the toxic and fly for earthquake and fly , and you could replace the grass type for golem with fire punch via gen2 , and rock slide or rock throw, strength and earthquake or fissure but fissure relys on speed stats and accuracy/evasion so be careful to use the x acc and x speed first if you wanna use him but hes great againt the dragonite lance has ad the aerodactyl

Guest answered:

I straight up used my high level Kadabra and level 50 legendary birds. At the very end, I used my Charizard a bit, but really mist of the weight fell on my Kadabra, who, at the time was around level 65.

Guest answered:

I think charizard, venusaur, blastoise, zapdos,gengar and graveler I won with that team

Guest answered:

I have used only a kadabra lv 100 to beet all elite 4
Else my team now is
Snorlax lv 70
Pikachu lv 53
Hypno lv 40

Guest answered:

The top six pokemonths of my choice for the elite four would have to be as listed: Hypno, Snorlax, Charizard, Gengar, Gyrados, and Golem. Hypno has great attack and defense with physical moves such as head butt, Hypnosis and dream eater (really effective), and either a psychic attack or a good poison move. Snorlax has a good all around defense and attack. With a high chance of paralyzing an opponent with a body slam. Amnesia to raise attack. Also can learn alot of moves from tms recieved. I like Charizard all around... Who doesn't. I use him to learn fly. So I can whoop some ass right after the initial ass whooping. Gengar because he's almost untouchable. A very flexible Pokemon in learning Tms. You can teach him electric, fire, ice, and grass moves. One of the best hands down (unless fighting stronger psychic Pokemon). Gyrados is very strong Pokemon (just to think I payed 500 gold for it as a stupid fish). What's not to like about it. Great HP. Not vulnerable to much. Ability to learn good tms as well. My last choice would be Golem. Any rock Pokemon really as long as they know rock slide or throw. Proves to be very effective against Lances dragons. Also golem can learn good moves. Other Pokemon I would consider would be as listed: Mewtwo, Mew, Marowak, Tauros, Fearow, and Alakazam. My favorite 10 original Pokemon would be Mewtwo, Mew, Gengar, Gyrados, Dragonite, Charizard, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, and Pikachu.

Guest answered:

Starmie (psychic, thunderbolt, surf, recover)
Toruas (hyper beam, ice beam, take down, earthquake)
Snorlax (earthquake, hyper beam,body slam, rest)
Exeggutor ( sleep powder, dream eater, mega drain cut)
Primape (low kick,karate chop,strength, focus energy)
Rhydon (earthquake, rock slide, Horn drill,body slam)

Lead with egg and you have perfect team πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜ low kick is for Tanky Pokemon or ground types enjoy

Guest answered:

I suggest that you could use all the element of all gyms like electric Pokemon, water Pokemon, fire Pokemon, ground Pokemon, grass Pokemon, and sychic pokemons. Because every elite leader has every type of those, so try to catch these types of Pokemon because I have tried it before and train them as high as you can. Good luck in your journey.
