Tips

Once you have beaten your rival in Mt. Moon, he challenges you in the lobby on Mondays and Wednesdays, once per day, with Crobat 48 and a Lv50 fully evolved starter.
The old man with an Abra in the lobby can teleport you home to New Bark Town; he leaves once you have entered the Hall of Fame.
The doors lock behind you once you enter Will’s room, so stock up first; a loss sends you back to the lobby and resets the challenge to Will.
Lance leads with Gyarados 44 and ends with a Lv50 Dragonite, so Ice and Electric moves pay off.
Karen’s Houndoom (Lv47) and Bruno’s Machamp (Lv46) are the strongest Pokémon before Lance.
