Gym Leader Guide - Tips in Progress

Advice: The easiest thing to do is find a Pikachu in Viridan Forest and complete Prof.Oak's quest and pick Bulbasaur or Squirtle. You can then train those two up to between levels 12-15. It might also help to capture a Mankey on the route to the Indigo Plateau, and train it up to level 10.

If you chose Charmander, you should capture the Mankey and train it up to level 12. You can then capture a Caterpie/Metapod and train them to around the same level. If your Charmander is up at the same levels, it can also help some. NOTE: This way requires some grinding. Depending on your original starter, this may be a pretty easy battle.

So, let me start off by saying... HOLY RECOVER. She will let you get her Pokemon down to low health, then use recover. REPEATEDLY.

If you chose Bulbasaur, you should train it to level 20 and use a poison powder/leech seed combo. After infecting Staryu, switch out so you're healthy for Starmie. You will also most likely need a Pidgeotto to finish her off with speed. Otherwise, welcome to Recover City.

You may have caught a second Pikachu in Viridian Forest. If so, a level 20+ should be good, along with a Butterfree, Pidgeotto, or Beedrill level 19+. I'm not positive about this, so you may want to go north and capture a grass type.
