How do beat the 1st gym in Pokemon Pikachu?

Here's a breakdown of how to beat the first gym in Pokemon Pikachu, the Viridian City Gym, led by Brock:

Understanding Brock and His Team

* Brock's Pokemon:

* Geodude: Rock-type (weak to Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel)

* Onix: Rock-type (weak to Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel)

* Brock's Strategy: Brock relies on Rock-type Pokemon with high defenses. He'll use Rock Throw and Tackle to inflict damage.

Your Best Options

* Pikachu: If you caught Pikachu at the start, he's your best bet. Use Thunder Shock (electric) to hit Geodude and Onix hard, as Rock is weak to Electric.

* Pidgey: If you caught Pidgey, you can level it up to learn Gust (flying). Gust is super effective against both Geodude and Onix.

* Other Water-type Pokemon: If you've caught a Water-type like Squirtle, use its Water Gun to damage Brock's Pokemon.

Battle Strategy

1. Choose your Pokemon: Select your strongest Pokemon that has an advantage against Rock-types.

2. Start with a strong attack: Hit Brock's first Pokemon hard with your best move. This will set the tone for the battle.

3. Focus on your type advantage: Keep using moves that are super effective against Rock-types (Electric, Water, Grass, Fighting).

4. Use Potions to heal: Don't be afraid to use Potions to keep your Pokemon healthy.

5. Be patient: Brock's Pokemon can be tough, so don't rush into battle.

Tips for Success

* Level up: Ensure your Pokemon are at a decent level before taking on Brock (around level 9-11).

* Explore the Viridian Forest: Capture other Pokemon to train and diversify your team.

* Use items: Use items like Potions, Revives, and Poke Balls to your advantage.

Remember: This is a classic Pokemon game, so even if you lose, you can retry the battle as many times as needed. Have fun and good luck!
