Appendix:Yellow walkthrough/Section 16: Difference between revisions

As Champion, you can now access [[Cerulean Cave]], which was previously off-limits because of the powerful Pokémon inside. This is where {{p|Mewtwo}} fled after destroying the research facility on [[Cinnabar Island]].  

== Cerulean Cave ==

This is a treacherous, sprawling cave, so make sure that you are well-prepared. Stock up on {{ball|Ultra}}s and bring the {{key|I|Super Rod}} along, too. Bring a Pokémon that can use {{m|Surf}}, and pack that {{ball|Master}} if you still have it. Mewtwo is one tough fighter, even harder to catch than the [[legendary birds]], so you're in for a long battle if you've used it already. Head north to {{rt|24|Kanto}} and surf south along the river to reach the cave.

Follow the trail eastward to reach a {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir|Max Elixer}}, then head south. Use {{m|Surf}} to reach the platform in the southwest, and collect the {{ball|Ultra}} and the {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}. Head northeast and cross the platform to reach another {{ball|Ultra}}. Turn south and cross the last pool of water to reach the southeast platform, where {{p|Mewtwo}} awaits.

==== Mewtwo ====

Not only is it the strongest Pokémon in the game, but it's already at level 70!  If you don't have the {{ball|Master}}, this battle will be even tougher than catching the [[legendary birds]]. Be sure to save the game before approaching it, as you have only one chance to catch it. Mewtwo can restore its health nearly a dozen times with {{m|Recover}}, and is only vulnerable to {{type|Bug}} attacks. However, {{m|Leech Life|the three}} {{m|Pin Missile|damage-inflicting}} {{m|Twineedle|Bug-type moves}} are fairly weak. It may be better to use the legendary birds, as they are nearly Mewtwo's equals in terms of power. Inflicting status ailments can make the battle quite a bit easier, as a {{status|burn}} eats away at its health, and being {{status|Freeze|frozen}} prevents it from attacking or recovering.

With [[Cerulean Cave]] cleared, the storyline is now complete. Even though there are no more Gym Leaders to defeat, you still have a task to finish: completing the [[Pokédex]] for [[Professor Oak]]. If you manage to do it, you can show it to the [[Game Freak]] employees in {{ci|Celadon}} for your reward.
