Forum:Saffron City

Move Suggestions

 * Good moves are: Roar and Whirlwind, Crunch, Bite, Bug Buzz, Acrobatics and any Rock-type moves.

Everything in this level has a weakness to Ghost- and Dark-type moves except Venomoth. Charizard's or Victini's Inferno works well. Gengar with Dark Pulse (don't use Shadow Ball, it takes too much time to recharge) is especially helpful; just remember to keep it away from Alakazam's Psycho Cut. If you want more power, a Pokémon with Helping Hand will do great. It is also suggested to have a Pokémon with Perish Song. Nidoking with Shadow Claw is also a fine choice. Another option is a Parasect with X-Scissor and Spore.

MORE-THAN-PERFECT STRATEGY
EASY way to defeat the Saffron City Challenge and get your very own shadow Abra without stress:

No rare or difficult-to-catch Pokémon are used in this strategy. The Pokémon should optimally be level 64, but this strategy will work even with a quite lower level Pokémon sextet. Mewtwo will faint even before touching Meowth.

All you need is: (Love.. no. Read on)
 * Three Bulldoze users
 * A Roar or Whirlwind user
 * A Helping Hand user
 * An Earthquake user can help when Mewtwo appears to make this even easier, especially if you have weaker/lower level Pokémon - not needed if you have got your Pokémon on level 64.

Where to put them: On the top three spots, put the Bulldoze users. At the side, still on top, you can leave the Helping Hand user; at his right side, place the Earthquake user (using a different move, preferably a strong Fighting-type one).

Done. You won’t need to move a muscle, except that you preferably have to keep the Pokémon buffed up with the Helping Hand (it is just semi-mandatory when Mewtwo appears). Also, if you have weaker Pokémon and need to guarantee that the “Roarer” won’t be damaged by the Poison from the Venomoth, you can click on him (thus restarting him in his position and taking the Poison away).
