Pokemon Red Blue Walkthrough

Pallet Town

You start out in Pallet Town, There you will get your first Pok�mon from Prof. Oak. Walk North into the tall grass, Prof. Oak will show up, He'll take you to his lab and you'll have the choice of three Pok�mon, Charmander the fire Pok�mon, Squirtle the water pok�mon, or Bulbasaur the grass Pok�mon. If you pick any one of these Pok�mon, Gary will pick the Elementally superior. Water beats Fire, Grass beat Water, Fire beats Grass. Pick Bulbasaur, he seems to win the most battles and beat most trainers, but if you want you can take one of the others. Gary will challenge you right after that, he's not too hard to beat, just keep attacking and he'll go down (Your Pok�mon will go up a level) and you'll get 125 bucks. After that you will have to go North to Viridian City.

Road to Viridian City

Along the road the first guy you see will give you a potion. Also you cannot catch Pok�mon right now so just defeat the Pidgeys and Rattatas for exp. points. If your Pok�mon get hurt you can take them to your house and your mom will heal them.

Viridian City

Once you reach Viridian City you should go to the Pok�mon Center and heal your Pok�mon. Go to the Mart and the clerk will hand a parcel to you to deliver to Prof. Oak, You can jump over the little barriers, you will save time and also you'll encounter less battles. Upon delivery, Prof. Oak will hand you the Pok�Dex. Gary will say that he will get a map from his sister (you can too).You won't have to battle Gary this time so get the map and head back to Viridian. There you should buy Pok�balls, Potions are not needed really because you are close to a pok�center. In the area, Pidgeys and Rattatas are the only Pokemon found.(For exp. points, you can head West and battle Gary, but your Pokemon should be level 12 or above). Now Head North to Viridian Forest. If you go west of viridian (where you battle Gary again) you can catch Nidoran male and female. Around this time I recommend catching: Rattata, Caterpie, Weedle, Spearow, and Pikachu, this is a good starting Pok�mon team.

Viridian Forest

You cannot pick up the items to the right just yet, but you will go back later in the game. In the forest there are 3 trainers, they use bugs so if you chose Charmander this should be REALLY easy because bug is weak to fire, if you picked Squirtle well too bad, if you picked Bulbasaur then it will be easy but not as easy as Charmander, because Bulbasaur can't be poisoned. Go West from the beginning and you can pick up a Pok�ball, but you do have to walk through the grass. Go Northeast of the beginning to fight a trainer (You have to fight this one), His Pokemon are: Weedle level 6,and Caterpie level 6. >From there go North along the road (The next trainer is optional) Keep going North and you'll find a Antidote. Go along the road and you'll find a split towards the end, go South and you'll find another item. A certain Pokemon you should look for is Pikachu, Although Pikachu is here, he is weak and doesn't have many moves. But he is effective against Misty. Once out of the forest, You'll have to go to Pewter City. *side note* Around this time I recommend catching: Rattata, Caterpie, Weedle, Spearow, and Pikachu, this is a good starting Pok�mon team. I would like to say a couple of things about theses Pok�mon now: Butterfree and Beedrill get good moves at level 12, so get them. Caterpie and Weedle evolve at level 7 to a Metapod and Kakuna, and again at level 10 to Butterfree and Beedrill. Spearow starts with a good attack (peak). And Rattatalearns good moves at level 7 (quick attack) and level 14 (hyper fang) he and Spearow both evolve at level 20.

Pewter City

In Pewter city you must fight Brock. If you don't you cannot proceed to Mt. Moon. Brock's Pok�mon are Geodude level 12, and Onix level. 14. Brock's Pok�mon are easily beaten by Squirtle or Bulbasaur, Charmander's just out of luck and will have to make it with what he has (Evolving a Caterpie and/or a Weedle is a good choice if you're using Charmander).The BOULDER BADGE increases you Pok�mon's power a bit, also flash can now be used(Badge moves such as FLASH, CUT, FLY, STRENGTH, and SURF can only be used when a HM is equipped to a pok�mon.)Get some supplies and head to Mt. Moon. You'll want to get some potions, an Escape Rope or two, and some more Pok�balls if you need them. Now whould be a good time to level up your Pok�mon, you can gain them to as high of a level as you want and they will still obey you (as long as you didn't get them from a trade) (my friend had a level 38 Blastoise before he beat misty!!) Get them to about level 18 or so.

Mt. Moon

Before entering Mt. Moon you should catch a Jigglypuff in the grass outside Mt. Moon and buy a Magicarp from the guy in the Pok�mon center, Magicarp may be weak, but at level 15 he learns tackle, and at level 20 he evolves into a Gyarados, a really good Pok�mon. Mt. Moon is long. Once inside you can find various items, and many people to battle. Team Rockets first appearance comes in here, They're easy so don't worry. At the end you'll fight a Super Nerd, After you beat him you'llget the choice of two fossils, The Helix fossil or the Dome fossil. Which one you pick matters on what Pokemon you'll get later, Helix: Omanyte, Dome: Kabuto. Omanyte has better attacks, but Kubuto has higher stats. You can't get these Pokemon until later in the game so store it in your PC as soon as you get to Cerulean City. You should get a Clefairy, Zubat, Geodude, and Paras here.

Cerulean City

Did you get a Pikachu in Viridian Forest? If you did and you own a Squirtle or a Charmander gain them to high levels before the fight, If you have Bulbasaur it'll be easy so don't worry. If you need to you can catch Oddish\Bellsprout to help you You only HAVE to fight one other trainer, the one near the beginning of the gym is optional. Misty is difficult if you chose Charmander. Her Pok�mon are Staryu at level 18 and Starmie at level 21. If you win you'll receive the CASCADE BADGE, it allows ALL Pokemon up to level 30 to obey, also lets you use CUT. If you go to the 1st house on the Northwest side of the city, you can go into the backyard and find a Rare Candy, You'll have to search a bit but its in the middle of the two rows going horizontally (Rows meaning spaces North to South in space). Bikes are too expensive right now (But you'll get one soon enough). West of Cerulean you can catch Ekans (red) or sandshrews (blue) Spearow and Rattata

Road to Bill's house/Bill's house

From Cerulean City, head North and fight Gary, go across the bridge and fight all the trainers there. Go into the grass to the West and get a grass Pok�mon (Bellsprout in Blue and Oddish in Red) and get an Abra also. To catch an Abra, just throw a Pok�ball at it (its not a guaranteed catch but its the best way right now).Go East to get to Bill's house, there are lots of trainers in the way so you may have to go to the Pok�center in Cerulean. Once you get to Bill's house you'll see a Pok�mon but no Bill. Talk to the Pok�mon and do as he asks. After that Bill gives you a ticket to the S. S. Anne. Go back to Cerulean and you'll see that the Police man \ woman?? has moved so you can get into the house. You'll find a ROCKET in the back, beat him and get TM #28 (DIG) go back in the house and the guy doesn't care anymore so just keep it! Head South and you'll find a tunnel, go through it and you'll end up in Vermilion City (In the tunnel there is a Full Restore but You'll have to search for it because its invisible, like the Rare Candy). Catch a Mankey (red) or a Meowth (blue) on your way to the tunnel.

Vermilion City

In Vermilion you have a few things to do: 1.Get the Old Rod from the fishing guru (Next to the Pok�center), 2.Get on the S .S. Anne and get the cut HM 3.Get the Bike Voucher from the Pok�mon Fan club president (look in all the houses), 4.Beat Lt. Surge and get the Thunder Badge.

S.S. Anne

On the S. S. Anne there are many good trainers so make sure your Pok�mon's levels are high and look for the Capt. Because the Capt. gives you the CUT HM. If you go into the kitchen you will find a Great Ball in one of the trash cans. Try to search all the rooms because there some great things in there.

Lt. Surge

Lt. Surge is an electric type Pok�mon gym leader so use a Diglett from the cave to the East or a Geodude from Mt. Moon. They should be almost totally immune to the attacks of the electric Pok�mon. To fight Lt. Surge you have to search the trash cans for a switch (It's random), and the a neighboring can for the second switch. Lt. Surge's Pok�mon are Voltorb at level 21, Pikachu at level 18, and Raichu at level 24, the THUNDER BADGE speeds up your pok�mon a bit and lets you use FLY. Get the Bicycle with the Bike Voucher and use that, The Bike speeds your journey up A LOT. There is someone in one of the houses here that trade a spearow for a farfetche'd. >From here you should go through the Diglett�s cave.

Diglett's Cave

Not much here, Ride your bike through and catch a Diglett. Once through the cave you'll see a house. There you can get the Flash HM and the items you couldn�t before (with CUT equipped onto a Pokemon).Go back and East through the mini-maze. You can trade a Abra for a Mr. Mime here.

Mini-Maze

Just stay on the middle track and go North on the last turn if you're going on a track where at the beginning there was a man near a sign your going the wrong way, you should see a track going left, a man, and another man but not in the same place. Go Northeast and you should be on a direct track where a Jr. Trainer(Female) is waiting for you, fight her and go East. Here you can catch: Ekans (Red), Sandshrew (Blue), Spearow, and Drowzee.

Rock Tunnel

Okay now back-track to Cerulean, and go right, now that you have cut. Just before the Rock Tunnel you should be at a river with a nearby field and a little barricade you can jump over. Go South to the Pok�center and heal your Pok�mon, now go North and catch a Voltorb. Equip Flash on it and proceed into the cave. Go through the cave, its semi-direct not TOO confusing. Here you should catch: Zubat and Geodude (if you don't have them) Onix and Machop.

Lavander Town

Once out of the cave you should be just North of Lavender Town.You don't have to fight the trainers so just go to the Pok�center and heal up. Now Proceed West and through the tunnel. (You'll have to fight at least 1 trainer) Now you should end up in Celadon City. Catch a Growlith (red) or Vulpix (blue)to the left of here.

Celadon City

You have a number of things to do here in Celadon: 1.Defeat Erika and get the Rainbow Badge, 2.Get the Silph scope, 3.Get Eevee, 4.Get the Coin Box for the Game Corner, 5.Get a Fresh Water From the Mart (top floor) and give it to the road guard. Erika isn�t too hard to beat, Just Use a fire or bird Pokemon that�s around the same level as her Pok�mon. You're gonna have to battle at least 3 trainers. You MUST come with a Pokemon with CUT equipped. The easiest way to go is on the right and hug the left side. Erika's Pok�mon: Victreebel lvl29, Tangela lvl 24,Vineplume lvl 29. The RAINBOW BADGE make Pok�mon up to level 50 obey, and you can use STRENGTH. Next your gonna have to go into the Game Corner, fight the guy who is guarding the poster and press the switch behind it. Go in the door and go down another flight of stairs. There will be a number of puzzles to solve and Rockets to fight. One guy at the bottom should drop a lift key. Now take the lift and go to the bottom floor, You'll have to fight two Rockets and then fight Giovanni, he has a level 24 Rhyhorn a level 25 Onix and a level 29 Kangaskhan. Now after you've fought Giovanni,he should drop the Silph scope, the one for the ghosts in the Poketower. Now go back to Lavender Town.

Lavander Town 2

Nothing has changed, just go to the Poketower and fight the ghosts. When you fight the ghosts the silph scope works automatically. Once you've made it to the 2nd to the top floor a ghost will fight you (pre-programmed battle)This ghost is Marowak and you cannot catch her. Use a water Pok�mon and it should be easy.Beat all the Rockets on the top floor and you'll recieve the Pokeflute from an old man. Now you should be able to wake up the sleeping Pokemon to the South (Snorlax) Also make sure to capture him because there are only 2 Snorlaxes in the entire game. In the Pok�mon Tower: Gastly, Haunter, and Cubone.

Saffron City

Once you've beaten the ghosts in the Poketower you should go to Saffron City to Battle Sabrina. But First your gonna have to save the town from Team Rocket. By now, the guy in front of the Silph co. building has fallen asleep (He'll be off to the side and won't stop you). Once you go inside its a maze, First you must fight many people (this includes scientists) and find the Key Card, This will allow you to get into all the locked areas. Next you must find a portal that leads you to Gary (You'll have to battle him) once you defeat Gary, A nearby man will give you Lapras. Go through the other portal and defeat Giovanni once again. He is easy with Squirtle or Bulbasaur, since he uses ground Pokemon Water and Grass Pok�mon are effective. You'll get the Master Ball from the President of Silph co. SAVE IT! Its VERY important! Store it on your PC. Now Team Rocket has left town so you can now Go and defeat Sabrina.She uses Psychic Pok�mon and isn't too difficult.Still be careful, you don't have to fight any trainer besides Sabrina, just go into the opposite portal unless you want Exp. points, You'll know when you reach her. Sabrina's Pokemon are Kadabra level 38 Mr. Mime level 37 Venomoth level 37 and Alakazam level 43. Your Pokemon should be about level 30 or above. You get the MARSH BADGE for beating her, Pok�mon up to lvl 70 will obey you. Next to Sabrina's Gym is the Fighting Dojo. This Gym is fighting Pokemon only, and if you beat all the trainers you get the choice of Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. Hitmonlee is a Kicking based Pok�mon and Hitmonchan is a Punching based Pok�mon. Now you should head to where you met Snorlax (South of Lavender Town) along route 12 to Fuschia City. On the way to Fuchsia City you should catch: Ditto, Venonat, Bellsprout and Weepinbell (blue), Oddish and Gloom (red),Pidgey and Pidgeotto (if you don't already have).

Fuchsia City

Once you're in Fuschia City, The first thing you should do is go beat Koga, the poison gym leader. If you picked Bulbasaur this will be an easy task, Bulbasaur is almost completely immune to poison, for Charmander or Squirtle I'd suggest a Victreebell or Vileplume depending on which version you have. There are invisible walls here so you'll have to fight at least 3 trainers if you don't know where you're going. now I can't give exact directions but here�s what you do, first go above the Pok�mon statue and carefully walk to the right. Hug the right wall and walk up, you'll have to fight a Juggler. After you beat him go to the top wall and walk left, You'll have to fight another trainer here. Now carefully walk right and down to get to Koga. Now, I'm doing this from memory but his Pok�mon should be around level 35-40.He'll have poison Pok�mon so carry allot of antidotes unless using Bulbasaur. For beating him you receive the SOUL BADGE, the defense of your Pok�mon increases a little and it allows you to use SURF. Next you should go to the Safari Zone. Here there are many Pokemon that can only be caught here, but first you must find the GOLD TEETH and the SURF HM. Get in there and get on your bike and ride East, now from here ride to the hill and up onto it, ride West and off of it, from here ride Northeast and then Westwhen you get to the wall. Now you should go Northwest over another hill, you should be in a spot where there are 3 mini-lakes, you must go Northeast around the Lakes,there should be a sign next to a bush barrier that says "Trainer Tips: The secret house is still ahead!". Go South and you should find a Pok�ball item which is the GOLD TEETH, from there go Northwest until you see a house, go inside and a man should give you the SURF HM. Try to go outside (Time should have run out by now) and go to the Warden's house. Give him the teeth and he'll hand you the STRENGTH HM. A Rare Candy is in the ball on the other side of the room. Next door to the warden is the Fishing Guru's brother. get the GOOD ROD from him. Go in his backyard and fish out some Pok�mon. Go West and go on the Cycle Road and go up to Celadon City. Save your game and try to catch the Snorlax. Take a Pok�mon with CUT and cut the nearby bush, go around the back and a woman there will give you the FLY HM. Equip SURF on either Lapras or a Water Pok�mon you don't really need. Now, if you're still in Celadon City go to the grass patch just before the Cycling Road and catch a bird. Equip FLY to it and fly to Pewter City, Go North to the Museum and CUT the bush in the front. In the back talk to the guy near the item on the pedestal. He'll give it to you. Now its time to go to Cinnabar Island.

Cinnabar Island

First you must FLY to Pallet Town. Save your game and go South. From here SURF down south, catch a tentacool on your way you should eventually find Cinnabar Island. Here you'll want to take the fossil from earlier and go into the research center to the left of the Pok�center. Go to the 3rd door down and give the man in the back a fossil, go to the Mart and then back into the center to pick up your new Pok�mon. Repeat with the amber and you'll get Aerodactyl. Now go and heal your Pok�mon, buy some supplies, buy some Burn heals, and save. Go into the burned out building (This is a rough walkthrough, not exact) in here, go North and examine the statue(A), it should have a switch, press it and go upstairs. Do the same on this floor (Read the notes if you wish, they tell the story of Mew and Mewtwo). On the 3rd floor you should press the switch and go South, don't fight the scientist but instead go(there are two exits, a big one to the left and a smaller one to the right) take the exit to the left, you should land on the 1st floor but in an area you couldn�t get to. Defeat the scientists and get the Secret Key. Now exit the building (If you have an Escape Rope its better) and you can now fight Blaine, the Fire gym leader he has: Growlithe 42, Rapidash 42, Ponyta 40, Arcanine 47.If you chose Squirtle this will be a cinch. You will have to defeat almost every trainer here to advance. The VOLCANO BADGE increases your Pok�mon's abilities a little. Now your ready to go to the Seafoam Islands. In the mansion you can catch: Koffing, Weezing, Growlithe (red), Grimer, Muk, Vulpix (Blue), Magmar (Blue), and Ponyta.

Seafoam Islands

From the Pok�mon Center, heal your Pok�mon and go to the Mart. First prepare with Ice Heals, the highest potion at that time,2 escape ropes, and lots of Ultra balls.Take a Fire Pok�mon(Ponytas a great choice if you don't have Charmander),an Electric Pok�mon (A well leveled Pikachu or Raichu is good),a Pok�mon with STRENGTH, a Pok�mon with SURF,and Your starting Pok�mon (If you don't have Charmander),you should also bring a high level Butterfree or a high level grass Pokemon (With sleep powder).SURF East until you get to the Seafoam Islands. Here prepare to face level 50 Pok�mon(They won't all be level 50 but I know one will...).Save and go inside, then get on your Bike and ride downstairs. Ride until you reach the water and SURF, you should be swept into another screen. Go East and you should see a blank space(only a 1 step space) search it and you should find an item. From there do North and get onto land, get on your Bike and Ride West (Not up the stairs) and go up the new set of stairs (DO NOT SURF! You'll be swept away).You should go Southeast and Push the Top Left boulder North 2 spaces, Push the opposite boulder you just pushed into the hole (but don't go in yourself). And push the remaining boulder in the hole opposite to the one you just were using. Once you've completed that, jump in the hole. Now SURF North until you reach a island with a Pok�mon just standing there. Save your game and fight him, use your fire Pokemon and weaken him.Now take the Pok�mon with sleep powder and put him to sleep. Now throw Ultra Balls until you catch him (Make sure you do or else you'll have to start all over). Articuno is level 50 and very difficult to beat, also he only appears once per game (like all other Pok�mon just standing there).Now use an escape rope and save. Here you can catch: Seel, Dewgong, Slowpoke, Slowbro, Psyduck, Golduck, Horsea, Seadra, Krabby, Kingler, Zubat, Golbat, Shellder, Staryu

Viridian City 2

From Cinnabar Island Fly to Viridian City. Save and go to the gym. Squirtle and Bulbasaur will easily beat all Pok�mon in here, Charmander should be substituted for a high level bird Pok�mon (level 50 Fearow is a good choice) a high level Water or Grass Pok�mon (In here either is good) If you have a high level dugtrio or other guy with dig I would use him against the posion type Pok�mon. I won't reveal the gym leader for spoiler reasons but his/her Pok�mon are: Dugtrio 42, Rhydon 50, Nidoking 45, Nidoqueen 43,and Rhyhorn 45. Beating him/her gives you the EARTH BADGE which makes all Pok�mon obey. Now that you have all 8 badges, go to Pok�mon league.

Pokemon League/Victory Road

You'll have to fight Gary along the way to Victory Road. He's hard but easy enough to beat. You have to bring a Pok�mon with STRENGTH and one with SURF. Bring some Ultra Balls, Max Potions, Escape Ropes, and a few Full Heals. Now go through Victory Road and be careful (Moltres is in there but I cannot give directions to him, he's a big help).I can't give directions but here�s some tips: 1.If you see a boulder with somewhere to push it, Do it, 2.Try To fight all trainers because they give some good exp, 3.Try not to run from most battles, the enemies here will help gain levels for your Pok�mon Once through victory road you'll be at Indigo Plateau. Go inside, you can now FLY here.

Power Plant

Now you need to get Zapdos, he'll be a help, when you are fighting the Elite Four\Fantastic Five, He's in the Power plant, it's to the right of Cerulean, you need to surf to get there. There are Pok�ball item-things here that are voltorb\electrodes but there are some good items here so it's good to get them all the place is kind of easy, there are a lot of side paths, but you won't get lost once you catch Zapdos, and get all the items, make sure you catch all the Pok�mon here. Pok�mon here: Voltorb, Magnemite, Magneton, Pikachu, Electabuzz (red), Raichu (blue)

The Elite 4

Now its time to beat the Elite 4,but you have to prepare first. Get LOTS of Full Restores (You'll need them more than anything). You don't need much else in items, a Pokeflute you should take too. Now, bring only your strongest Pok�mon and try to make sure they're over level 60. You'll need a (suggestions): Articuno, Zapdos Or other strong electric type (jolteon, pikachu), next bring a high level grass type that has a sleep attack, a strong fire type with fire blast, a strong water type, And a strong Physcic or Ground type. Now first you must fight Lorili, her Pok�mon are Dewgong 54, Cloyster 53, Slowbro 54, Jynx 56, and Lapras 56. Use a strong Electric type for the first 3 and the last one, then use a fire type for the Jynx. The next person is Bruno, his Pok�mon are Onix 53, Hitmonchan 55, Hitmonlee 55, Onix 56, and Machamp 58. I'd suggest a water or grass pok�mon. Agatha's next, her pok�mon are Gengar 56, Golbat 56, Haunter 55, Arbok 58, and Gengar 60. I usually put them to sleep first and then attack, or use a physcic type, Ground attcks are super effective on posion types. The last one is Lance,his Pok�mon are Gyarados 58, Dragonair 56, Dragonair 56, Aerodactyl 60, and Dragonite 62.Start out with a strong electric type for Gyarados and then use a ice type.

To beat Gary

I think we were all expecting Gary to be here. First he'll send out a Pidgeot 61, then Alakazam 59, then Rhydon 61, after that it vary's a little depending on who you chose as your starting Pok�mon. If you chose Squirtle he would have: Gyarados 61, Arcanine 63, and Venesaur 65 If you chose Bulbasaur he would have: Exeggutor 61, Gyarados 63, and Charizard 65 If you chose Charmander he would have: Arcanine 61, Exeggutor 63, and Blastoise 65 I use my Raichu for his Pidgeot, then my Venesaur to put Alakazam to sleep, then I use Venesaur again for Rhydon, Then I use Rapidash for Exeggutor, Raichu for Gyarados, and then I use Articuno for Charizard (Charizard is part Flying which makes him open to ice attacks.)

After beating the League

Now that you're league champ you can get Pok�mon #150, Mewtwo go to cerulean city, and go north surf in the water downwards and then go into the cave, I won't tell you where to go it's pretty simple. The Pok�mon in the Unknown Cave are: Dodrio, Venomoth, Kadabra, Rhydon, Marowak, Electrode, Chansey, Wigglytuff, Ditto, Parasect, Raichu, Arbok (Red), Sandslash (Blue). There is more stuff you can do, but this just tells you how to beat the game, you still need to get all 150.
