Where can I find Electric-type Pokémon in Pokémon FireRed?

You can find Pikachu as a rare encounter in Viridian Forest. Other Electric-type Pokémon like Magnemite, Magneton, Voltorb, and Electrode are exclusive to the Power Plant near Cerulean City, where you can also find the legendary Pokémon Zapdos.

Question

I recall Mewtwo being in Cerulean Cave in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; are there any other prerequisites to access it?

Lugia2453

Top Answerer

Yes, you can find Mewtwo in Cerulean Cave in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. However, to access it, you must first complete specific side quests on the Sevii Islands. This differs from the original Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow games, where only defeating the Elite Four was required.

Question

How can I catch Tauros in Pokémon FireRed?

Community Answer

You can catch Tauros in both FireRed and LeafGreen, though it is not a common encounter. Head to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City and navigate to Section 2 or 3. Search the patches of grass near the Rest House; Tauros may appear after several encounters. If it flees, continue searching in the same area.

Question

Why do I need to get the two gems?

Community Answer

You need to acquire the two gems as they are a required component of the side quest Game Freak implemented to reintroduce the popular and powerful Mewtwo, potentially to tease upcoming titles for fans.

Question

If I chose Bulbasaur as my starter Pokémon, how can I obtain Charmander and Squirtle?

You cannot catch the other starter Pokémon (Charmander and Squirtle) within FireRed and LeafGreen if you did not choose them as your own. You can only obtain them through trading with another game. However, other strong Fire and Water-type Pokémon are available, such as Growlithe, Starmie, and Gyarados.

Question

What do I do if a man blocks the cave and won't let me in?

Community Answer

To get past the man, you must have defeated the Elite Four and had Celio link your PC to Hoenn and Kanto. If you haven't defeated the Elite Four, ensure you have all eight gym badges, then challenge them. If your PC isn't linked, travel to the Sevii Islands to complete the necessary connection tasks.

Question

Which Legendary bird should I prioritize catching first in Pokémon FireRed?

Charan Koirala

Community Answer

You might consider catching Articuno first, as it is often considered the most accessible of the three Legendary Birds. Ultimately, you will need to catch all three to complete your Pokédex.

Question

I accidentally defeated Mewtwo and it fainted in Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen; what can I do to catch it?

Community Answer

In Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen, if Mewtwo faints after battle, you generally cannot catch it in that playthrough unless you reload an earlier save. If you are playing Pokémon Go, you would typically use berries to make Mewtwo easier to catch before throwing a Poké Ball inside the colored rings.

Question

Where can I find the legendary dogs and wild starters?

Community Answer

You can catch one legendary dog, which depends on your starter Pokémon: Charmander leads to Suicune; Squirtle to Raikou; and Bulbasaur to Entei. These are roaming Pokémon, so you can encounter them in various locations. For a focused search, consider using repels on Route 2.
