Tips

• Abra and, rarely, Kadabra can be caught in the grass, and Kadabra is a strong catch this early.
• Meowth, Koffing and their evolved forms only appear in trainer teams here; they cannot be caught in Yellow.
• The Gambler with Growlithe and Vulpix and the Lass with Clefairy are good fights for experience, but none of the teams are very dangerous.
• Several Super Nerds use Poison-type Pokémon such as Grimer and Muk, so a Ground-type move or Psychic attack helps in those battles.
• The Underground Path entrance here is how you reach Route 7 and Celadon without going through Saffron.
