Appendix:Red and Blue walkthrough/Section 14: Difference between revisions

[[Giovanni]] returned to his Gym Leader position after his defeat in [[Saffron City]].  His Gym turns out to be a favorite training spot for those who favor {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Water}}-, and {{type|Ice}} attacks will see the greatest effectiveness.  {{t|Flying}} Pokémon are immune to Ground-type attacks, and can deal major damage to the several {{t|Fighting}} types here.  The same Water Pokémon that put a damper on the [[Cinnabar Gym]] can use moves like {{m|Surf}} to terrorize their terrestrial opponents.  {{t|Psychic}} moves will work wonders against foes like {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.  Take out Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}} quickly; its {{m|Fissure}} and {{m|Horn Drill}} moves can knock out an opponent in [[One-hit knockout move|one hit]]!

Congratulations on defeating the eighth and final Gym!  The {{badge|Earth}} commands attention of all Pokémon, regardless of level.  Giovanni gives you {{TM|27|Fissure}}, a TM he claims to have made when he originally acted as Gym Leader.  He seems remorseful of his actions with [[Team Rocket]], and he officially disbands the gang before disappearing.
