Tips
- Brock's team is Rock/Ground, so Water, Grass and Fighting moves are very effective.
- The Gym gives TM39 Rock Tomb when you beat Brock, plus the Boulder Badge.
- A scientist in the Museum's back room (reached through the rear entrance once you can use Cut) gives Old Amber, which Cinnabar Island's lab can revive into Aerodactyl.
- Stock up on Potions, Antidotes, Awakenings and Repels at the Poké Mart before heading into Mt. Moon.
- Look for a hidden Poké Ball in the town.
