Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal Hints

How do I beat the Gym Leader?

  • 1 of 3: Erika has a L.42 Tangela, a L.41 Jumpluff, a L.46 Victreebel, and a L.46 Bellossom.
  • 2 of 3: Fire will burn them to ashes. Ice will freeze them to blocks of ice. Flying will...err...Flying will also work great.
  • 3 of 3: For a twist, you can use Rock-type attacks on Jumpluff (who is Grass/Flying). However, using Rock Pokemon will not work, due to Grass-type attacks, especially Solarbeam. Also, Psychic-type moves will work well on Victreebel, being Grass/Poison.
