Use Headbutt on a tree (taught by the tutor in Ilex Forest). Which trees are “common”, “rare” or empty depends on the last digit of your Trainer ID.

Tips

• Beat the Team Rocket Grunt on Route 24, then search the Cerulean Gym behind a pile of lifebuoys to find the Machine Part.
• Returning the Machine Part to the Power Plant restarts it, which gets the Magnet Train running and gives you TM57 Charge Beam from the manager.
• Misty uses Golduck Lv49, Quagsire Lv49, Lapras Lv52 and Starmie Lv54; Quagsire is immune to Electric moves, so bring a Grass attacker too.
• Misty’s Cascade Badge comes with TM03 Water Pulse.
• Cerulean Cave, with Mewtwo at Lv70, opens to Champions who have all 16 Badges.
• The Bike Shop is open but has nothing to sell, since its bicycles went to Johto.
