Gym Leader of Pewter City - Rock-type specialist.

Team (Pokemon Yellow):

Geodude10
Onix12

Reward: Boulder Badge and TM34 Bide.

Badge effect: Boulder Badge raises your Attack by 12.5% and lets you use Flash outside battle.

How to beat him or her: Your starter Pikachu is useless here - Electric does NOTHING to Geodude and Onix because both are part Ground. Yellow deliberately provides two answers on Route 22, reachable before Brock: Mankey learns Low Kick at L9 and Nidoran (M) learns Double Kick at L12, both Yellow-only changes. Butterfree's Confusion at L12 also works.

Has Type

Which elemental type or types something has. ONE relationship serves creatures, characters and moves — the old schema had a many2many on one model and a plain many2one on another, which could not be queried together. "Show me everything Fire" is now one query.

Found At

Where something is met, and how. Characters are here as well as creatures: the guide records where Professor Oak stands and where each Gym Leader is fought.
