Celadon City Guide
Skip Jolteon and you'll thank yourself. Its Electric typing just doubles up on the Pikachu you're already stuck with, so Vaporeon or Flareon covers far more for your team. You evolve the free level 25 Eevee with a single Water, Thunder, or Fire Stone. Grab it upstairs in the Celadon Mansion.
For Porygon, yes. That rare Normal type is a pain to get anywhere else, and the prize counter trades it for a tall stack of coins. The same counter offers a level 30 Scyther or Pinsir and cheaper picks like Abra. Win coins at the slots or buy them from the seller if you'd rather not gamble.
Mostly just one. Lt. Surge is the leader Yellow retuned toward the anime, and his upgraded Raichu can stop an underprepared team cold. Brock and Misty play about the same as in Red and Blue. The difficulty isn't a steady climb, more a couple of spikes you can plan around once you know they're coming.
