Perish song is nice because iirc Red doesn't switch his 'mons.

[triforced1]

From the look of it, you need more special attack moves.

[Nebbles]

Triforced1 - I do, yeah. What do you recommend?

Roz - I think he did when I used Perish Song. I can try again, because that WAS my main strategy with it, have Jynx come in and kill all of his Pokemon. >3>

For Blastoise, you need a hard hitting electric move. Typhlosion may be strong, but it'll get destroyed by Blastoise. For Snorlax, well, pretty much the only thing you can do is hit it hard and fast. Shadow Ball will work pretty well for Espeon. If you could get a good rock type move for Charizard then that will take it out pretty quick. Give Jynx Ice Beam like Slow said, um, Sandslash is good for Pikachu, and for Venusaur you can use Flamethrower.

Edit: I don't remember if there's any good physical fire type moves in Crystal, but Venusaur's defense is quite a bit lower than it's special defense.

Well then get rid of Perish Song, spam Lovely Kiss and hope you don't miss.

Gen 2 = Special moves and physical moves were separated by type, so every fire moves are special while every fighting moves are physical.

Oh. Well, then try flying type moves.

There were no physical fire moves until gen IV. Up till then, there were just types that were physical and types that were special.

Physical types:
Bug
Fighting
Flying
Ghost
Ground
Normal
Poison
Rock

Special types:
Dragon
Electric
Fire
Grass
Ice
Psychic
water

That's why Pokemon like Sneasel were virtually useless until gen IV.

Also yeah he does switch

[SlowPokemon]

^oh yeah steel was phys and dark was spec

[Nebbles]

Isn't there a guy who teaches Flamethower, Ice beam and Thunderbolt to your Pokemon in Goldenrod outside the Game Corner? When does he show? I need to get Ice Beam on Jynx, and Thunderbolt to someone who can stand to Blastoise.

And Lovely Kiss... uh, I don't think there's a move tutor or anything that'll let me. =/

[triforced1]

You don't really have any walls, so I say teach Thunderbolt to your fastest Pokemon. That's not Typhlosion.

Here's the list for the move tutor: http://pokedream.com/games/crystal/m_tutor.php

Edit: Take that back. I don't think any of your Pokemon can learn Thunderbolt :/

[Nebbles]

All right, sounds good to me. I don't think Typhlosion can learn thunderbolt, any way....

Anyway, does anyone KNOW when that guy in Goldenrod teaches your Pokemon those moves? Anyone?

[triforced1]

Wednesdays and Saturdays.

[Nebbles]

Okay, thanks! So tomorrow I can get on the ass-kicking.

[triforced1]

Aww yea.

[Nebbles]

I just hope I can beat him soon. I am getting bored. Really really bored. I wanna move on to Ruby already.
