|[[Image:Pokemon_096Drowzee.png|right]] Drowzees are great. They're reasonably sturdy and their Special is very high. They get Psychic (the game's best Psychic-type attack) naturally, along with a couple of status moves, and they really don't need much else. The problem is that Kadabra (or Alakazam) has even better Special and has much better Speed. The choice is yours - fast striker or sturdy support Pokémon?
|[[Image:Pokemon_096Drowzee.png|right]] Drowzees are great. They're reasonably sturdy and their Special is high. Like many Psychic-type Pokémon, they can learn Psychic (a very powerful Psychic-type move especially with STAB that also has a 30% chance of lowering a target's special stat), along with a couple of status moves, and they really don't need much else despite their decent movepool. The problem is that the Abra evolution family such as Kadabra and Alakazam has even better Special and has much better Speed but with a drawback of poor defenses. The choice is yours - a fast glass cannon or a sturdy support Pokémon?

This area is entirely optional, since you can just use Diglett's Cave to cross back to Route 2 (where you want to be right now) without facing the 10 trainers lurking on Route 11. But you might want to stop by to get yourself a {{bp|Drowzee}}, and maybe take down some of the Gamblers for the massive amounts of cash they keep on hand.
This area is entirely optional, since you can just use Diglett's Cave to cross back to Route 2 to get '''HM05''' which contains '''Flash''', a move you would need for [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Rock Tunnel|Rock Tunnel]] to light up the cave there so it helps you to navigate in there. But you might want to stop by to get yourself a {{bp|Drowzee}}. Probably not the best Psychic-type Pokémon around but its still pretty good to pick up if you need a Psychic typing on your team. There are about ten trainers here, so you can also maybe take down some of the Gamblers for the massive amounts of cash they keep on hand. It's also a good place to catch up on your Pokémon's levels.


NOTE: Checking the lone bush that a Youngster (marked on the map as Trainer #8) is facing will yield an '''Escape Rope'''.
