Gym Leader of Vermilion City - Electric-type specialist.
Team (Pokemon Yellow):
| Pokemon | Level |
|---|---|
| Raichu | 28 |
Reward: Thunder Badge and TM24 Thunderbolt.
Badge effect: Thunder Badge raises Speed by 12.5% and lets you use Fly outside battle.
How to beat him or her: In Yellow, Surge has exactly ONE Pokemon - but that Raichu is fast and hits hard. Catch a Diglett or Dugtrio in Diglett's Cave right next door: Ground is immune to Electric and Dig is super effective. Solve the two trash-can switch puzzle to reach him. Note the switches re-randomise if you get the second one wrong.
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.
