Pokémon Stadium - Gym Leader Castle: Vermilion Gym
0Next up is the Vermilion Gym Tower, and this one is much harder than the previous two, while most of the Trainers use Electric-type Pokémon, some of them use other types of Pokémon. Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of Vermilion Gym, uses only Electric-type Pokémon, but two of his Pokémon do have a move that can come out as unexpected to those that only enter with Ground-type Pokémon.
With the team selected, the only Ground-type Pokémon that can withstand the unexpected move Surge has is Nidoking, all other Ground-type Pokémon, including those that are part Rock-type, will not stand a chance, and Dugtrio does outspeed the Pokémon that have the unexpected move, but it cannot take a hit. I do pick other Pokémon, like Abra to take on the Poison-types in the third battle, Tauros as an alternative option to take on some opponents, and I don't know why I picked Hitmonlee instead of a Grass-type like Ivysaur or Weepinbell.
I will list each Trainers, and the nicknames of the Pokémon, with the species name of the Pokémon in brackets.

The first three opponents don't have a set strategy, if you did bring an Electric-type, Sailor's Pokémon, with the exception of Machop, are weak to Electric-type moves, but watch out for Golduck's Dig. Rocker only has Electric-type Pokémon, the only exception being Porygon, and all of Old Man's Pokémon are weak to Ground, as they are all Poison and Fire-type Pokémon.
Surge is not to be underestimated, his Raichu and Pikachu both know Surf, no Ground-type Pokémon is safe from them, while Nidoking can withstand a Surf from Raichu, it's best to have some backup Pokémon for them, Dugtrio does outspeed Raichu, but it does get taken out with one Surf from Raichu. A Ground-type like Graveler or Sandslash can be good choices for any Electric-type that are not Pikachu or Raichu, as they only have Electric and Normal-type moves, Voltorb and Electrode can use Explosion or Selfdestruct, watch out for them.
