providing an opportunity to level up legendary Pokémon.
Let's Search for People on the S.S. Aqua.
On the S.S. Aqua, you'll need to find a girl and a sailor.
The girl is in the captain's cabin, so lead the gentleman there.
The sailor is resting on the ship's lower deck, so talk to the crew member.
Be cautious during the battle with the sailor.
When you talk to the sailor on the lower deck, he will challenge you to a battle suddenly.
Try to a void battling as much as possible if your Pokémon's HP is low.
Vermilion City +1
Arrive at Vermilion City and receive Metal Coat from the gentleman.
Using Metal Coat:
When held by Onix or Scyther and then traded, their type matchups change,
significantly improving the types that can halve damage.
Steelix
It doesn't learn any usable moves by leveling up, so it's crucial to use TM moves; otherwise, it's very challenging.
Recommended move set:
Iron Tail, Earthquake,
Curse, Hidden Power (Flying) or (Fighting) for versatility.
Scizor
With a 4x weakness to Fire-type moves, it has many types that can resist it.
As Metal Claw alone may lack power,
using Hidden Power (Steel) ensures more consistent accuracy and damage output.

significantly boosting all stats except for Speed.
While its practical use in battles comes in later generations,
it's highly recommended to obtain it for Pokédex completion.
You can acquire TM29 in the city.
TM29 contains the move "Psycho Kinetic."
This move, boasting a power of 90 and 100% accuracy, is a powerful Psychic-type move.
When taught to Psychic-type Pokémon, its power increases further,

Strategy Against Sabrina
Psychic-type Pokémon are among the strongest in the game.
With Ghost-type weakness, Pokémon like Gengar and Misdrea vus,
proficient in special attacks, only ha ve weaknesses to Dark and Bug types effectively.
If you're struggling against Sabrina, try using Houndoom.
Houndoom learns "Crunch" as a STAB move,
its Dark typing and high Special Attack make it exceptionally effective against Psychic-type Pokémon.

Effect of the Cleanse Tag
