|[[Image:Pokemon_039Jigglypuff.png|left]] | |[[Image:Pokemon_039Jigglypuff.png|left]]Jigglypuff, even ''more'' ridiculously cute in Yellow, have a ton of HP, but are mediocre in all their other stats. Their Sing attack is annoying to be put to sleep by, but is nearly a coin-flip in accuracy. Pound works well enough early on, but Jigglypuff will be starved for good attacks until it learns Body Slam at level 34. Jigglypuff ''can'' use a wide variety of powerful TMs, but it probably isn't worthy of these precious TMs, as the result isn't spectacular. Jigglypuff can evolve right away with a Moon Stone, found in Mt. Moon, but this will keep it from learning moves through leveling up. | ||
| [[Image:Pokemon_027Sandshrew.png|right]]This Ground-type Pokémon doesn't learn anything particularly exciting on its own (Although it does get the powerful Slash attack at a fairly low level), but it has good Attack and Defense (especially in its final form), although it doesn't have much Special or Speed. The lack of a Rock-type means that it can potentially survive a medium power Grass- or Water-type attack if it must take one. While it must use a TM to give it a Ground attack (Like Dig, which you'll get at the next town), Sandshrew is a great Pokémon that is pretty useful throughout the game. | | [[Image:Pokemon_027Sandshrew.png|right]]This Ground-type Pokémon doesn't learn anything particularly exciting on its own (Although it does get the powerful Slash attack at a fairly low level), but it has good Attack and Defense (especially in its final form), although it doesn't have much Special or Speed.

They come with only one move, Splash, and it does '''literally''' nothing. Magikarp can't learn any TMs or HMs and they don't even learn a real attack until level 15! | ||
''BUT'' if you can get one to level 20, it will evolve into {{bp|Gyarados}}, a Water/Flying-type with great stats and a small but useful move pool that includes the powerful Hydro Pump (and several more great moves by TM.) | ''BUT'' if you can get one to level 20, it will evolve into {{bp|Gyarados}}, a Water/Flying-type with great stats and a small but useful move pool that includes the powerful Hydro Pump (and several more great moves by TM.) | ||
