2nd Gen Your Whitney Strategy

I believe on my latest playthrough on Crystal I just smacked it down with Tyrouge/Hitmonchan. Didn't have any fighting moves at that point but resisted Rollout and knocked it out before it could get me with Stomp.

... it was either that or I used some other strategy that I can't even remember right now. Was it Bayleef that knocked it out instead I'm honestly not very sure. All i know is that it wasn't very hard for me to take it down.

I tend to prep a Heracross, and I also tend to grind like no tomorrow, so I can soften the Clefairy, then see how I do w/ Miltank. I'll end up trying a strategy, such as Sand-Attack or Hypnosis, worst case, but I find that she gets easier to beat w/ age.
 
my strategy to beat whitney is.... cry

i never really had a strategy when i used to play it - i've started playing heartgold again recently & beat her surprisingly easily because my machoke was female
 
I tend to soft reset for a female starter and I usually choose the Chikorita line so having a female starter gives it immunity to attract and wear it down with Razor Leafs and Poision Powder.
 
When I faced her years ago on Gold, I faced her with the Onix you get early on via Trade. Rock resists Normal and Ground resists Rock, hence Onix is the perfect counter to Falkner, Bugsy and Whitney. Onix dominates the first 3 Gyms so who needs a starter? ^_^

I'm one of the lucky ones who beat Whitney on my first try (in the VC release that is, my SS team wasn't as good against her). What I did is used Rage with what was at the time a Croconaw. I don't know why she didn't have it use attract with either Pokemon (Croconaw was male) as that would've completely killed me, but after building up a couple rages on Clefairy, the move was strong enough to either 2 or 3 shot (can't remember) her Miltank. I think it's kind of funny that using Rage saved me from rage lol

LoL I too done the same thing. Defeating Whitney by Croconaw's rage.
 
Besides the surprise on the first time, Whitney is easy to deal with.
Just bring geodude and you are pretty much set.
 
I used the Machop you get in a trade in my second playthrough. The first one I traded over my Monferno (and my Pikachu as a bonus) from Diamond.
 
A female Geodude with Mud-Slap is quite effective. You resist everything, lower accuracy to prevent Rollout combos, and can't be attracted. Use Mud-Slap until accuracy stops lowering, then just chip away with Magnitude.
 
Female Machop is my go-to
