[[BP:Brock|Brock]]'s Junior Trainer, strangely enough, uses Ground-type Pokémon, while Brock himself uses Rock/Ground dual-types. Neither has any Ground or Rock-typed attacks to use, so Pokémon weak to those types can still be used. Resistances should still be considered, however. | [[BP:Brock|Brock]]'s Junior Trainer, strangely enough, uses Ground-type Pokémon, while Brock himself uses Rock/Ground dual-types.

If you're playing Red or Blue, and you picked Bulbasaur or Squirtle, you should have an easy time of it, since both of these Pokémon can learn attacks that will eliminate these Pokémon in a couple turns (As long as Bulbasaur is Level 13.) But if you picked Charmander, or have a Bulbasaur without Vine Whip, then you'll have to fight a longer battle. That wouldn't be a problem, but Brock's Onix has Bide. Bide absorbs the damage Onix takes over three turns (Onix still takes the damage), and then deals it back at double damage. This is usually enough to seriously weaken your Pokémon, if not knock it out right away. | If you're playing Red or Blue, and you picked Bulbasaur or Squirtle, you should have an easy time of it, since both of these Pokémon can learn attacks that will eliminate these Pokémon in a couple turns (As long as Bulbasaur is Level 13.)

You have a few options you can use to get by this. The first is to just use your Charmander/Bulbasaur anyway. Charmander can use Ember, which will still deal decent damage due to the low Special of Brock's Pokémon. When Onix uses Bide, Charmander should then switch to Growl until Bide ends. Bulbasaur can use a similar tactic with Tackle and Growl, and plant a Leech Seed to do even more, since indirect damage will not trigger Bide. | You have a few options you can use to get by this.
