1. Pewter City Gym – Brock (Rock-type)
Recommended Levels: 11–13
This Gym features a corridor lined with trainers leading up to Brock. His team consists of:
- Geodude (Lv 12)
- Onix (Lv 14)
Strategy: Use Water‑ or Grass‑type moves (e.g., Squirtle’s Bubble or Bulbasaur’s Vine Whip) to easily counter. Charmander with Metal Claw can also work. Leech Seed or Growl helps with Onix’s defense.
2. Cerulean City Gym – Misty (Water-type)
Recommended Levels: 18–20
This Gym has a simple layout — a straight path with a trainer before Misty, who uses Staryu (Lv 18) and Starmie (Lv 21).
Strategy: Grass‑ or Electric‑type Pokémon (like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, or Oddish) are ideal. Watch out for her use of Recover and Water‑type moves.
3. Vermilion City Gym – Lt. Surge (Electric-type)
Recommended Levels: 20–28 :
Lt. Surge’s team includes Voltorb (Lv 21), Pikachu (Lv 18), and Raichu (Lv 24).
Strategy: Ground‑type Pokémon (e.g., Diglett or Nido‑line) are essential due to immunity and Super Effective moves. Avoid Electric‑types.
4. Celadon City Gym – Erika (Grass-type)
Recommended Levels: 25–32
This Gym has a trivia puzzle: answer questions correctly at a terminal to proceed. Erika uses Victreebel (Lv 29), Tangela (Lv 24), and Vileplume (Lv 29).
Strategy: Have Fire‑ or Flying‑types like Charmander or Pidgeotto to sweep through efficiently.
5. Fuchsia City Gym – Koga (Poison-type)
Recommended Levels: 38–42
This Gym includes a small maze leading to Koga’s team: two Koffing (Lv 37), Muk (Lv 39), and Weezing (Lv 43).
Strategy: Psychic‑types (Abra, Kadabra) are perfect counters. Ground moves also work, but Psychic is safer.
6. Saffron City Gym – Sabrina (Psychic-type)
Recommended Levels: 39–45
Sabrina has Kadabra (Lv 38), Mr. Mime (Lv 37), Venomoth (Lv 38), and Alakazam (Lv 43).
Strategy: Ghost‑type moves (via Gastly line) or high-powered physical attackers are your best bet. Dark/common physical sweepers help too.
7. Cinnabar Island Gym – Blaine (Fire-type)
Recommended Levels: 42–45
Blaine uses Growlithe (Lv 42), Ponyta (Lv 40), Rapidash (Lv 42), and Arcanine (Lv 47).
Strategy: A strong Water‑type like Wartortle or Lapras with Surf/Water Gun is extremely effective.
8. Viridian City Gym – Giovanni (Ground-type)
Recommended Levels: 44–49
Giovanni’s lineup includes Rhyhorn, Dugtrio, Nidoqueen/Nidoking, and a high-level Rhyhorn (levels 42–50).
Strategy: Water‑, Grass‑, or Flying‑types easily counter Ground. Watch his physical offense.
