Steps
-
1Head to Cianwood City. Cianwood City is an island city. The the only way you can get there is by swimming or flying (and in this case you can't).
- Try surfing over to Cianwood with a Pokémon that has the move Surf. Start from Olivine City to the far left of the lighthouse to start surfing.
- Stock up on Repels when you Surf or else you'll encounter a lot of Magikarp and Tentacool!
- Try battling the trainers around the water for more experience points to beat the Cianwood Gym Leader, Chuck.
- When you get to Cianwood, you'll need to battle Eusine. He'll come by if you go to the upper part of Cianwood.
-
2Go into the gym. It is Chuck's gym, and he is a Fighting-type gym leader. Clear out any of the trainer battles and make sure you have a Pokémon with Strength to move the boulders.Advertisement

3Defeat Chuck and earn the fifth Johto badge.
- Chuck has a Primeape and Poliwrath. Primeape is a Fighting type, level 27. It has Leer, Rage, Karate Chop, and Fury Swipes. Poliwrath is a Water and Fighting-type, level 30. Poliwrath has Hypnosis, Mind Reader, Surf, and DynamicPunch.
- Try bringing in a Psychic or Flying-type for both of them, or Electric or Grass-type for Chuck's Poliwrath.
- Use status inflicting moves such as Paralysis, Poison, Burn, Freeze, or Sleep on them.
