Lets go for TM 43: Sky Attack!
he's put in his work. it's time to let him go. at this point in the game, we have a few pokemon who could rise up to fill the spot with a bit of grinding.
Haven't played a pokemon game in well over a 15 years, so after looking it up, yes it will fail first turn. That will make things a lot harder I would think.

Too bad we couldn't somehow get mirror move to replace whirlwind lol. MM would have been godly in the Tower.
Sky Attack is by far the best option, but unfortunately we don't get it til Victory Road.
Well there have been improvements to the system since the Sliph Scope incident that make democracy mode harder to activate and sustain. And keep in mind that Start9 is a part of that system and was the reason for some of those improvements:

That also doesn't attack the first turn so it wouldn't be that much better. We should really try and use democracy to replace whirlwind with anything though.

This is exactly why we ignore Oak and continuously consult our key items.

Sky Attack is a horrible option by the way.
It only has 5 PP.

Haven't played the game in years, why would it be unbeatable if you run out of money?

This is a longshot, but Razor Wind is in the apartment store, if we can get that, we will beat the game with ease
That's five more attacks than Whirlwind will give us.

Normal type in gen 1. Doesn't help with agatha.

Is there a link with all of these? They're all amazing.
Oh shit.
Um...
I guess we teach Fly after we're done with all the badges and hope we're inside enough not to be trolled by it.

There goes Bird Jesus
I guess the rest of the party will have to pull their own weight just a little more now. I think this is good in the long run, actually.
I'm pretty sure by the time we get to Sky Attack, we will truly need it. Waste of a first turn or not, the damage is guaranteed. Twill be a glorious eleventh-hour superpower if they manage to pull off teaching it like they did with Drowzee.

Oh I totally agree we should ditch whirlwind. But is it worth risking losing Quick attack, mirror move, or sand attack to learn Sky attack? I think not.
Damn it Oak, that's Team Snagem!

Just looked at tms. Our attacking options are:
Razor Wind: department store
Take Down:Silph Co; Department Store
Double Edge: Rocket Hideout
Hyper Beam (no recharge if it kills in gen 1): game corner
Mimic (take one of opponent's moves for rest of battle; can see target's moveset and selet wanted move ): Saffron City, Copycat Girl, Pokedoll in bag
Sky Attack: Victory Road
Take Down is probably our best bet, but that Deparment Store
Sky Attack we'll probably go after when we get there
Mimic is complicated but cool
Any of these or Fly
Razor Wind: department store
Take Down:Silph Co; Department Store
Double Edge: Rocket Hideout

Five move Options:
1) Go to route 15 and get rage
2) Get take down in the Silph Co (This could be very possible)
3) Buy Razor wind in the department store
4) Sky Attack in Victory Road
5)..................ummm........ugh........................not Fly

Because Gen 1 trainers can't be re-battled except the Elite 4. Of course it's moot anyways since lack of money is one of the brick walls the admin will interfere in if it gets to that point.
No rage pls. You cant stop raging in gen 1 once you use it, and if you miss once (all moves in gen 1 has 1/256 chance of missing, except swift), rage will have 1/256 accuracy permanently (for the fight)
I can see it now.
After hours and hours, hours into days, we manage to get past Ledge 2. The moment we exit Victory Road and the Indigo Plateau is within sight... FLY
We're actually not in danger of running out of money soon, if worst comes to worst we can backtrack to get a bike voucher and then do the bike path back for money+ exp. We don't need anything else to do silph co either right? I mean we always risk blacking out and losing half our money but we should come out with a decent profit by the end.

Take Down's our best bet

Fly is EASILY the best bet for the Elite 4
90 power, 95 accuracy, plus flying stab
No sitting duck for one turn like razor wind or sky attack
And 15 pp, more than either of the above
Also no recoil like Take down or Double Edge
And obviously it's not a normal attack which is a huge bonus in itself

Wait until post Sabrina. Then we'll talk
How is all of his advice terrible?
Choice samples, but I like to think that Oak just doesn't know what he's doing.
We have to fight 5 trainers in a row without healing to beat the game. Take Down is gonna kill us faster than poison.
PC Roulette is my favorite casino game. Always bet on Tragedy.
We still need a surf mon. Once we have one, I posit we get tentacool. Its a great wall with ok speed, we can teach it toxic and surf. It also can do wrap cheese, has supersonic, barrier for wall, screech and hydropump.

The best case scenario is holding onto fly until we reach the elite 4, and somehow overwriting whirlwind. Very low chance but that would be magical.

Razor Wind then. Bird Jesus is good at taking hits
We could also go a Toxic+Sand Attack staller route, thatd be funny if pulled off
We've been too lucky the last couple times...
I'm afraid a sacrifice will be demanded soon.

I think Lapras is superior because it can learn surf AND strength, not to mention the last 4 moves it learns are confuse ray, ice beam, hydro pump, an body slam. Any of those two plus the HMs are money.
Isn't it level 15 though? It'll be nearly impossible to level up.

Yeah...shit
We have shown the ability to grind though.

Ha! I'd completely forgotten! Well please accept my double strength thanks for that, you're a gentleman and a scholar =P
