If you haven't already, travel to Violet City and beat Falkner, the first gym leader.- His team consists of two Normal/Flying-type Pokémon: Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Each knows Tackle and Mud-Slap, and Pidgeotto knows Gust. Pidgey is at level 7, while Pidgeotto is at level 9.
- Trainers that picked Chikorita may have a difficult time with this gym. Exercise patience.
- Falkner will give you the Zephyr Badge, which you will need to use Flash (he will also give you TM31, Mud-Slap).

Head to Sprout Tower. It is located in the north of Violet City.Advertisement -
Enter and make your way up to the third floor.- There are a few trainers that will battle you as you ascend. Most of their Pokémon will be Bellsprout, which are weak to Flying, Fire, Psychic, and Ice-type moves.
- You can catch level 3 to 6 Rattata and Gastly here.
-
Go up to the Elder monk, Sage Li. You will encounter your rival again, but he will leave quickly. -
Battle the Elder.- His team consists of two Bellsprout at level 7, and a Hoothoot at level 10. Bellsprout knows the moves Vine Whip and Growth. Hoothoot knows Growl, Hypnosis, and Peck.
- His Pokémon are slightly stronger than Falkner's. If you chose Cyndaquil, he should be fairly easy to defeat.
