At the very least, Geodude and Onix have rather pitiful Special, and when confronted with a strong Butterfree with a Psychic attack, they really don't stand a chance. Admittedly, it won't be of much use in Red and Blue until level 12, since that's when it learns Confusion in Yellow, it will learn it immediately upon evolution. Catch a Caterpie in Viridian Forest, raise it to level ten, and voila, you have one of the very most useful early-game Pokémon handed to you on a silver platter. This is where Butterfree really rocks the world. However, those who chose Charmander and Yellow players will have to find other methods to beat him than using their starters. Just using Bubble/Water Gun and Vine Whip should take care of him fairly easily, owing to both of his Pokémon's double weakness to Water and Grass. When starting with a Squirtle or Bulbasaur in Red and Blue, Brock should really be a piece of cake. In Red and Blue, Brock uses a level 12 Geodude and a level 14 Onix in Yellow, the developers figured that since they made you start with a Pikachu, they should lower both of his Pokémon by two levels. The first Pokémon I mention in their team will always be the first one out, so make sure to have the counter for that one first in your party. These are just general tips for defeating each Gym leader and Elite Four member. Many of them will also work for FireRed and LeafGreen. They involve no glitches or otherwise any use of the game not intended by the creators. The following will not spoil your game in any way.
