    okay, so we all know that you can't beat Brock with Pikachu, you have to catch others and raise them up to beat him. I'm just curious as to which one(s) you guys used to beat brock. I caught a Nidoran, raised him up, evolved him, and now i use my Nidoking more than Pikachu. anybody do anything similar to that? 8)

    yeah, actually i caught both Nidoran but i ended up going with Nidoking because he seemed stronger.

    i don't think i have either, and i honestly don't think i've trained an eevee as high as the one i did on yellow. lv54
     
    A lot of Yellow 'mons learn Fighting attacks early, once I used Mankey and once Nidorino (his Attack is higher than the female's, all the better to cut through a Rock type's Defense). The first time I'm pretty sure I just went with Butterfree, since Special attacks don't need to be as strong with Brock.
    Nidoking's one of my faves for his crazy cool movepool (I just give him the TM's I have left over :P ), and Butterfree can't do much so Nido's usually my choice.
     
    7 year old me's solution:
    • Grind Pikachu to level 20
    • Teach it Slam
    • Continue grinding until it can take out Brock
    • ???
    • Profit!

    Modern day me would probably catch a Mankey, Maybe a Nidoran or two for backup.

    Heh, I really didn't like Pikachu or I might've tried that too. I know I preferred using Charmeleon on Brock instead of just raising something more effective.

    Mankey's the better choice since it gets STAB for fighting attacks, but for some reason I just never liked Mankey so I went for other Pokemon. -_-'
    To this day I've only bothered raising a Primeape once.
     
    I could never trade 'cuz I only had one GB. D:
     
    not if he learns iron tail! lol jk that's a gen 3 move, but I used Mankey to defeat Brock.
     
    Yes, I use to catch a Mankey since its a fighting type which has more of an advantage over rock types. Male nidoran from yellow can learn double kick too! He's always a good choice as well.. .

    I didn't know a single person who had one, except for my cousins half the country away. >.<
     
    I went the Butterfree rout to defeat Brock on all my play thorough.
     
    Im doing a pikachu monotype, and i just used double-team+Quick Attack

    it was easy as hell
     
    Yeah, to be fair Brock *is* the easiest gym after Surge just because his Pokemon have terrible attacks. :P
     
    Ohhh, Normal Karate Chop was such a terrible typing decision. XD
     
    trade mewtwo over from red version. :X I had red on my birthday, my little brother got blue on his, and me and both my brothers got Yellow for christmas, and we all had gameboys and one linkcable to trade with. Nothing says screw the game mechanics, I have a disobiediant level 100 legendary better than using it against a level 15 onix. The only bad thing is that mewtwo barely listened to me. >:[
