POKEMON FIRE RED TIPS & TRICKS
Beat Your Rival
To always beat your rival, you must have 2 games and 2 gameboys. First, you choose any starter in one game(Charmander), then the one your rival picks will be its weakness(Squirtle). On your otyher game, pick the final one(Bulbasaur). This is where the other gameboy comes in. You must go catch another pokemon, then trade it with your other game. You will then have two pokemon(Charmander and Bulbasaur). Train them and when you meet your rival, use the one you got in the trade(Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, or Venusaur).

This works for all Pokemon with the Poison Sting ability against all enemies, except for Bug types. Also, the Constrict attack can always get criticals if you press and release A twice while the vines are pulsating.
