Moves like Hyper Beam and Sky Attack can be detrimental due to the turn-off-attack drawback; consider alternatives unless they offer a significant advantage.

Substitute is generally less effective than other options.

Amnesia and Swords Dance can be powerful setup moves.

Counter is best used against Pokémon that primarily use physical attacks.

Softboiled only restores half of your HP.

Dream Eater is a more powerful Psychic-type attack than Psychic but is harder to use effectively.

Raichu can learn Light Screen when it is in its Pikachu stage.

Beedrill and Venomoth are not weak against Ground-type attacks; the attack types balance out.

Tentacruel can learn the Grass-type attack Mega Drain.

Acid reduces physical defense, it does not poison.

Aurora Beam may reduce attack, not speed.

Fighting-type attacks deal normal damage to Ice/Psychic types.

When considering TMs/HMs, remember that less evolved Pokémon can learn them, and TMs/HMs are crucial for lower cups where level-up moves might be unavailable.

Max stats always apply to fully evolved Pokémon.

Pokémon that are less evolved and have only one type but evolve into a dual type will be listed under their dual type counterparts.

The evaluations and recommendations for cups generally hold true for less evolved Pokémon in their respective cups.

A new feature includes cup recommendations next to Pokémon names, with '+' or '++' indicating their suitability for that cup. Good picks for Poké and Prime cups are also good for the Gym Leader Castle.

Counter waits for your opponent to attack, so use it on Pokémon that you know will only hit you with physical moves.

Softboiled only recovers half your HP instead of all of it.

Psychic is not the most powerful psychic attack, Dream Eater is, but it is harder to use.

Raichu can learn Light Screen (while in Pikachu stage).

Beedrill and Venomoth are not weak against ground type attacks, the attacks balance out.

Acid can reduce physical defense; it does not poison.

Aurora Beam may reduce attack, not speed.

Tentacruel can learn the Grass-type attack, Mega Drain.

Fighting does only normal on ice/psychic, not super effective.

There is no pure ice type; corrections have been made to reflect ice/psychic types where needed.

Aerodactyl cannot learn Rock Slide, and Slowbro cannot learn Hydro Pump.

You cannot rent Mewtwo after round 2 is finished.

The secret to getting hyper mode to the mini games is to win five in a row on 5 or more rounds.

Surfing Pikachu can be obtained by completing specific in-game requirements (details may vary based on game version and updates).

Clefable cannot learn Hydro Pump; Double Edge is a suitable alternative.

You can change backgrounds in the Game Boy Tower.

Hyper mode for mini-games can be obtained by beating the computer five times in a row with a five-round battle on hard mode.

Brock can use Confuse Ray to defeat Mewtwo in the first gym.

Takedown, Double Edge, and Mega Kick are good TM suggestions.

Mewtwo is by far the best Pokémon, not Mew.

Poison is a physical attack rather than special.

Agility can be a useful move.

Ground vs. grass/poison, and poison vs. bug/poison is 1-1.5x effective instead of 2x-3x. Grass vs. rock/flying, poison vs. grass/poison, fire vs. water/ice, electric vs. dragon/flying, fighting vs. normal/flying, water vs. rock/water, grass vs. water/flying, and grass vs. poison/ground do normal damage instead of 1/2-3/4x damage.
