What to do after you beat Brock?
Beating Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City, is a significant milestone in your Pokémon journey. As you leave Pewter City, you’ll receive the Boulder Badge and TM 01 (Headbutt), a powerful Rock-type move that can be useful in future battles. But what’s next? Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you progress further in the game.
Defeat the Gym Leader, Brock
Before we dive into the post-Brock adventure, make sure you’ve defeated Brock in Pewter City Gym. Brock’s team consists of Geodude and Onix, so it’s essential to have a well-rounded team with a mix of types. Once you’ve defeated Brock, you’ll receive the Boulder Badge and TM 01 (Headbutt).
Head to Route 3 and Mt. Moon
After beating Brock, you’ll find yourself at the exit of Pewter City. Take a short walk north to reach Route 3, which will lead you to Mt. Moon. Route 3 is a scenic route with a few trainers and wild Pokémon, so be prepared for some battles.
Explore Mt. Moon
Mt. Moon is a vast, rocky area with several trainers and a few rare Pokémon. As you explore, you’ll encounter Team Rocket Grunts, who will challenge you to a battle. Defeating them will reward you with items and Pokémon. Be cautious, as Mt. Moon is also home to some powerful wild Pokémon.
Train and Catch Pokémon
Take this opportunity to train your Pokémon and catch new ones. Mt. Moon has a diverse range of wild Pokémon, including Geodude, Pidgey, and Rattata. Make sure to catch some Pokémon with different types to enhance your team.
Defeat the Next Gym Leader, Misty
Once you’ve trained and caught some Pokémon, head back to Vermilion City and challenge Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City. Misty specializes in Water-type Pokémon, so be prepared to face a team with a mix of Water-type moves.
What’s Next?
After beating Misty, you’ll have a chance to explore the city and its surrounding areas. You can visit the Pokémon Center to heal your Pokémon and Mart to stock up on supplies. If you’re ready for a new challenge, head to the S.S. Anne, a luxurious cruise ship that’s home to a Pokémon tournament.
