| [[Image:Pokemon_016Pidgey.png|left]]Pidgeys are probably the single most common Pokémon in the game, so it's not like you'll be hurting for opportunities to catch one.  They're not great, but their Flying-type status can blunt Grass attacks and avoid Ground attacks altogether.  Unfortunately, Pidgey doesn't learn much in the way of flying attacks until later.  Spearow is likely a better choice.

But, it is one very good tactic you can use with Pidgey: it is based on Sand Attack, which Pidgey learns rather early. It will be enough to use it a few times to prevent your opponent from attacking!
| [[Image:Pokemon_019Rattata.png|right]]Not the sturdiest, but Rattata can gain the awesome 80 base power Hyper Fang at a mere level 14, which is enhanced further by the type-matching bonus.  At level 20, Rattata evolves into the stronger {{bp|Raticate}}.  Much later on, it can learn Super Fang to help in efforts to weaken a target Pokémon for capture; it will cut the target's current HP in half with each use.
