Before you head into Mount Moon, heal back at the Pewter City Pokémon Center,

|----------|
|Mount Moon|
|----------|

Pokémon at Mt. Moon:

#041 Zubat
#046 Parus
#074 Geodude

When you get to Mt. Moon, you will encounter your rival for the first time in a
long time. This may or may not be the final time you battle him, but he has
levelled up his Pokémon and finally has six Pokémon. At this point, you can use
any high-powered moves from your highest-level Pokémon that the Rival's Pokémon
doesn't resist, and you'll be fine.

|------------------------------------------|
|Rival                                     |
|Level 41 Sneasel (1159 EXP)               |
|Level 42 Golbat (1539 EXP)                |
|Level 45 Starter Evolution (2005-2025 EXP)|
|Level 41 Magneton (1414 EXP)              |
|Level 43 Gengar (1750 EXP)                |
|Level 43 Alakazam (1713 EXP)              |
|You get: 4500G                            |
|------------------------------------------|

Strategy VERSUS Sneasel: Sneasel is a dark type, so use the highest-powered
attack on your highest-level Pokémon that isn't a psychic move.

Strategy VERSUS Golbat: Golbat is a poison and flying type. Use the
highest-powered attack on your highest-level Pokémon that isn't a ground move.
Golbat is a flying type that resists ground moves. Electric moves will be super
effective. Beware of Confuse Ray, as that will confuse your Pokémon and take
away attack opportunities.

Strategy VERSUS Starter Evolution: The starter evolution will have the type
advantage on your starter, so don't use same-type attacks from your own starter.
Use the most high-powered attack on your highest-level Pokémon (likely Strength
or Body Slam). Or you can utilize Lugia/Ho-Oh to do the requisite water damage
against Typhlosion or fire damage against Meganium.

Strategy VERSUS Magneton: Use the most high-powered attack on your highest-level
Pokémon. Magneton does resist most types of moves due to its steel typing, but
fire and fighting moves would be strong against it.

Strategy VERSUS Gengar: Gengar is a ghost and poison type. Use the most
high-powered attack on your highest-level Pokémon that isn't a normal or
fighting move, as Gengar will completely resist those attacks as a ghost type.

Strategy VERSUS Alakazam: Alakazam is a pure psychic type. Use the most
high-powered attack on your highest-level Pokémon that isn't a fighting or
psychic move.

Your rival's not nearly as confident as he was at the beginning of the game,
after losing to you over and over. Save after you beat the Rival, and heal back
at a Pokémon Center if that's useful. There are two ways past Mount Moon. If you
go right from your Rival battle, up the ladder, and then out, you can go to a
shop outside that sells Fresh Water, Soda Pop, and Lemonade. If you then go down
into another cave entrance and down the ladder, you'll make your way through.

Alternatively, if you go down from the Rival battle, then to the right, and go
out that door, you'll end up in the same spot as going the path above. Either
way, you can face up to three trainers on your east on Route 4.

Thard_Verad adds, "Monday nights at Mt. Moon, you might catch Clefairy dancing
at the lake. Bring Rock Smash." Also, "After you defeat Silver at Mt. Moon, you
can challenge him at Indigo Plateau once a day on Monday and Wednesday. You can
also visit Dragon Den on Tuesday or Thursday and see him training."

|Route 4|
|-------|

Pokémon on Route 4:

#019 Rattata
#021 Spearow
#024 Arbok

Item on Route 4:

HP Up

Route 4 has three trainer battles as you head east.

Picnicker Hope
Level 34 Flaaffy (852 EXP)
You get: 680G

Bird Keeper Hank
Level 12 Pidgey (141 EXP)
Level 34 Pidgeot (1252 EXP)
You get: 816G

Picnicker Sharon
Level 31 Furret (769 EXP)
Level 33 Rapidash (1357 EXP)
You get: 660G

Head east, then up to grab the HP Up. Now, you can fly back to Pewter City to
heal at the Pokémon Center, head south onto Route 2 and south through Viridian
Forest, and you'll be in Viridian City.

|-------------|
|Viridian City|
|-------------|

North from the Pokémon Center is the One-on-One Trainer House. This is probably
your easiest way of getting experience every day. You can go in here every day
to fight Trainer Cal, or a placeholder for Cal. Simply go downstairs in that
house to do so. Head left after you go downstairs and the lady will talk to you.
Say Yes and you can battle Cal after you go down. He will have the final
evolutions of the three starters.

Thard_Verad adds, "Pokemon Trainer Cal is a placeholder. If you Mystery Gift
with anyone, they can show up at the Trainer House instead."

Pokémon Trainer Cal
Level 50 Meganium (2227 EXP)
Level 50 Typhlosion (2238 EXP)
Level 50 Feraligatr (2250 EXP)
You get: 5000G

Strategy VERSUS Meganium: Meganium is a grass type. Avoid using grass or water
moves. Use fire or flying moves from Typhlosion, Ho-Oh, or Lugia against
Meganium. Keep in mind that Meganium has Toxic, and Toxic can inflict poison
damage on your Pokémon every turn.

Strategy VERSUS Typhlosion: Typhlosion is a fire type and its best move is
Flamethrower, although its fighting-move Focus Blast also packs a punch. Avoid
using fire or grass moves. Use water moves, like Surf, Waterfall, Hydro Pump
from Feraligatr, Lugia, or Gyarados. Rock moves like Ho-Oh's AncientPower can
also be effective.

Strategy VERSUS Feraligatr: Feraligatr is a strong water type. Avoid using fire
or water moves. Use grass or electric moves against Feraligatr. Keep in mind
that Feraligatr can use Ice Punch against Meganium and all the flying
legendaries (Ho-Oh, Lugia, and others that you catch later). Additionally,
Feraligatrs water moves can still be effective against electric type Pokémon
despite being weak to electric attacks.

Then head south onto Route 1 towards Pallet Town.

|Route 1|

Pokémon on Route 1:

#016 Pidgey
#162 Furret

Item on Route 1:

Bitter Berry

Unlike in Red, Blue, and Yellow, there are two Pokémon trainers. You can grab
the Bitter Berry on the way down to fight the two trainers.

Schoolboy Danny
Level 31 Jynx (909 EXP)
Level 31 Electrabuzz (1035 EXP)
Level 31 Magmar (1108 EXP)
You get: 992G

Cooltrainer Quinn
Level 38 Ivysaur (1147 EXP)
Level 38 Starmie (1684 EXP)
You get: 1824G

Now head south into Pallet Town!

|-----------|
|Pallet Town|
|-----------|

Talk with Professor Oak in his lab (the biggest building). He notices your Kanto
badges. He tells you that he'll give you a prize if you get all the badges, so
remember that. The houses for Red and Blue are here. You can now fly to Pallet
Town. Now, surf south onto Route 21.
