In the research lab, there is a man who is interested in Metronome. In the Generation I games, he gives away TM35 (Metronome). In FireRed and LeafGreen, he is a Move Tutor for the move instead.
In the experimental lab, there is a scientist who will revive the fossils the player obtained at Mt. Moon and Pewter Museum of Science. After giving him the fossil, the player must leave the lab and return to claim their fossil Pokémon. There is also a third in-game trade here: Seel for a Ponyta in the Japanese Red and Green, international Red and Blue, and FireRed and LeafGreen; a Krabby for a Growlithe in the Japanese Blue; and Muk for Kangaskhan in Yellow.

When Ash and his friends arrived on Cinnabar Island in Riddle Me This, they had planned to visit the Pokémon Lab, although they were dismayed to discover that it, like the rest of Cinnabar Island, had turned into yet another tourist trap.
Its second floor appears to be a Pokémon exercise and training center with a pool and fitness equipment. Team Rocket attempted to go there and steal the Lab's Fighting-type Pokémon, bombing the building's roof in the process. After Blaine had received a phone call about the bombing, Ash and his friends intervened and sent Team Rocket blasting off.
The Lab reappeared in the Yellow arc, where it was revealed to be connected to the Cinnabar Gym, working as Blaine's personal laboratory. Among other things, it was shown to contain a special tank meant for Mewtwo.
