The fastest way to reach Sabrina is to take teleporter '''A''', then walk to the top left square at '''C''', then to the bottom left square at '''I''', then walk straight down to the square at '''M'''. If you want to get experience, you can fight the trainer here as well. Sabrina is in the center of the gym. | The fastest way to reach Sabrina is to take teleporter '''A''', then walk to the top left square at '''C''', then to the bottom left square at '''I''', then walk straight down to the square at '''M'''.

Sabrina's Abra shouldn't cause much of a problem in Yellow, since it only knows Teleport and Flash and can't deal you any damage, making it very easy for you to set | Sabrina's Abra shouldn't cause much of a problem in Yellow, since it only knows Teleport and Flash and can't deal you any damage, making it very easy for you to set upon it with X items and moves that increases your Pokémon attacking stats. Kadabra is also not especially strong, due to its awful defense stat. It is Alakazam and his consistent use of the move Recover that will be a serious pain. Bug Pokémon are strong here, so a Parasect or Butterfree should be okay against Alakazam despite Bug-type moves being generally ineffective in this generation. The best way to deal with Sabrina is to take advantage of her Psychics' weak defense with physical attacks, such as strong Ground, Flying and Normal-type attacks. Dugtrio and its Dig and Earthquake work well due to same-type attack bonuses and a high speed capable of outpacing Alakazam, as well as Charizard's Slash, which has a high critical-hit ratio. Be careful of Sabrina's strong Psychic-type attacks, as with a high special stat of her Pokémon, they are able to sweep much of your team if they have a poor special stat or are weak against, especially her Alakazam, who has a very high speed which means it has a high critical hit rate to even likely override your special stat boosts. | ||
Defeating Sabrina will net you the '''Marsh Badge''' as well as '''TM46''', which contains the randomly-damaging Psywave Psychic-type attack. The Marsh Badge gives you the ability to command traded Pokémon as high as level 70, although you're not likely to have need of such power for quite some time. | Defeating Sabrina will net you the '''Marsh Badge''' as well as '''TM46''', which contains the randomly-damaging Psywave Psychic-type attack.
