Appendix:Gold and Silver walkthrough/Section 5: Difference between revisions

When you reach the west side of town, {{ga|Silver}} catches up to you. He asks if it is true that [[Team Rocket]] has returned, and accuses you of lying after learning that you defeated them. He draws you into battle to force you to prove yourself.

{{ga|Silver}} has added two more Pokémon to his team since the previous battle. {{p|Gastly}} takes serious damage from {{t|Ghost}}-, {{t|Psychic}}-, and {{type|Dark}} attacks, but its defenses are low enough that attacks of nearly any type will be effective. Ghost Pokémon are immune to {{type|Normal}} moves, so moves like {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Scratch}} are useless. {{p|Zubat}} is vulnerable to {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Electric}} moves, among others. Use the {{p|Onix}} from [[Violet City]], or a {{p|Mareep}} from {{rt|32|Johto}}, for an easy knockout. The Pokémon that he took from {{prof|Elm}}'s lab has evolved since then and learned a move that matches its type, boosting its power with a [[same-type attack bonus]]. Avoid pitting your own [[first partner Pokémon]] against it or risk taking serious damage.
