For once, the real action in town is somewhere other than the Gym. You could either go after [[ | For once, the real action in town is somewhere other than the Gym. You could either go after [[bulbapedia:Erika|Erika]] immediately or wait until after you investigate the Game Corner and maybe get some training in. No matter which version you're playing, Erika's assembled a nasty team of three high-level Grass-type Pokémon to contend with. | ||
Erika and her Junior Trainers make for one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, since Grass-type Pokémon have so many weaknesses. The weakness to Fire is something Red and Blue players are in a better position to exploit, but everyone can take advantage of the fact that their own Grass-type Pokémon are basically invulnerable to enemy Grass-types. Of course, that goes both ways, so your Pokémon better know some non-Grass techniques to break the stalemate (such as Wrap, Cut or Take Down) or you'll be in for some long matches. Also if you've managed to pick up TM13, Ice Beam works great. You can also teach Ice Beam to your Water-type Pokémon to counter their weakness type although this might be not so effective, as Erika's Pokémon can still take a hit and retaliate with a high-powered Grass-type attack. | Erika and her Junior Trainers make for one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, since Grass-type Pokémon have so many weaknesses.
