:10. Take it to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] regularly for a free checkup and a complete healing. Every major city has one. Always make sure your Pokémon is well rested and in good health before a major battle. | |||
:9. ''[[Trade]] it with a friend. The more new life experiences your Pokémon has the stronger and smarter it will become. Then you can trade back for it.'' | |||
:8. ''Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit. Battles, even for play, cause cuts, scrapes, and bruises. Every town has a [[Poké Mart]] where you can buy these supplies, but the [[Celadon City Department Store]] is the best stocked. A good first-aid kit includes:'' | |||
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Awakening|Awakening Potion}} — wakes up a Pokémon that has been put to sleep'' | |||
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}} — cures {{status|poison|poisonous stings}}'' | |||
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Paralyze Heal}} — loosens up a Pokémon that {{status|Paralysis|can't move}}'' | |||
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Burn Heal}} — soothes painful {{status|burn}}s left by {{t|Fire}} elements'' | |||
* ''[[Potion]]s — heal wounds in general'' | |||
* ''{{DL|Revive|Revive}} — wakes up Pokémon that have [[Fainting|fainted]]'' | |||
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} — defrosts {{status|frozen}} Pokémon'' | |||
:7. ''Start off slowly. Don't try to fight another [[Pokémon Trainer|trainer]] too soon. Build up your Pokémon's [[experience]] through small competitions with [[wild Pokémon]]. When you are ready to take on another trainer, make sure your Pokémon and the trainer's Pokémon have a similar amount of experience.'' | |||
:6. ''Practice. Let a new or less experienced Pokémon start off a big battle. Then replace it with a stronger Pokémon before it gets hurt. Quick, safe battles are a good way to build up a Pokémon's experience.'' | |||
:5. ''Stay smart. Make sure you know everything you can about your Pokémon before you decide how to raise it. Each Pokémon is special and has different needs.'' | |||
:4. ''Take your Pokémon to the museum. There's [[Pewter Museum of Science|a great museum of science]] in [[Pewter City]] with an exhibit of extinct Pokémon bones. A definite must-see!'' | |||
:3. ''Teamwork. The six Pokémon you carry with you should have a variety of [[move|techniques]] and [[Elemental type|elements]]. Also, don't concentrate on raising up one Pokémon's experience and not the others'. Keep all of your Pokémon equally strong. The secret to success is teamwork.'' | |||
* '' | :2. ''Don't forget your [[vitamin]]s! Pokémon need to take their vitamins and minerals to keep them healthy and strong. These are some of the items that you can buy for your Pokémon:'' | ||
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}} — to increase {{stat|special}} powers'' | |||
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}} — to increase {{stat|speed}}'' | |||
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Iron}} — to increase {{stat|defense}} strength'' | |||
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} — to increase {{stat|attack}} strength'' | |||
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} — OK, so it's not a vitamin. But a treat once in a while keeps your Pokémon happy and boosts their energy up one level.'' | |||
:1. ''LOVE THEM! Pokémon aren't just fighters. They want to be your friends. If you treat them well, they will be loyal companions.'' | |||
