Barboach (Old Rod, LOTs of EXP for beating) (Mudkip is at the Pewter Pokemon Center, so you have to wait) Also they give almost double the experience of any wild Pokemon- perfect for training a grass or electric type. Protip: Shelder often come equipped with Water Stones, and Staryu's equipped items can be sold for big $$$. The Old Rod is available in Viridian, beyond the old weedle man. Level 5-7 Shelder and Staryu can be fished up using the old rod in Pallet Town. They also have improved level up movepools and better abilities, so this makes them really good!)

You can't just catch a grass and expect to beat Brock when Rhyhorn uses Flamethrower and OHKO's your Shroomish. All the gym leaders have 6 Pokemon, and they are TOUGH. Wild Pokemon (and trainers) all tend to be at higher levels too, and your Pokemon grow quickly as a result.īut, you're going to need all the extra strength you can get- because the battles are real challenges.

The first and most obvious change is the sheer volume of available Pokemon- over 30 are available just in the opening routes/Viridian forest, and all 389 are incorporated into the game. Pokemon Fire Red Omega is a hack of Pokemon Fire Red with numerous significant changes to make the game an intriguing and sophisticated experience for knowledgeable players.
