Vermillion City Walkthrough

This level isn't too hard, in fact I just needed one pokemon to beat it. I used my Shiny Golem, and only used 2 different attacks. For a ll the pokemon that aren't flying type, use Bulldoze. This move is unlocked at level 36, which you should be approaching, if not already at. If your Golem isn't at or above level 36, you can try using Magnitude but it may not work very well. As for the flying pokemon I suggest that you use Smack Down, a Rock- Type attack learned at level 27. What's good about this move is that it not only does 2x damage to flying pokemon, it knocks them down as well. Alakazam also works pretty well on this level, since Psychic is so powerful. A Charizard with Wing Attack, Flamethrower, and Dragon Rage also works quite well on this level. Just use Wing Attack/ Flamethrower on pokemon against these attacks and use Dragon Rage on all the rest of the pokemon. There are really a lot of options, and if you have 5 or 6 decent, different- type pokemon you can likely win with that too. Just take advantage of the opposing pokemon's weaknesses. This is the only level you can catch a Shellder on, so look for it around waves 7- 11. This level doesn't have anything very special to it, and it shouldn't take long for you to complete either. You may have to try the level again because you made a mistake, but other than that you'll beat it easily, assuming that you've been keeping up with your training. If you absolutely cannot beat this level, then you definitely train your pokemon some more. The upcoming levels will only get harder- look at this level as a test to see how well you've been training.

Route 24 Walkthrough

This level is pretty interesting. Route 24 is the first level in the game where you have to both defend the candy, and then try to get the candy. It isn't very difficult, but it may require a couple tries to get it. The first round is pretty easy, all you have to do is defeat Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, and Kakuna. There isn't anything special about them, in fact any strong move will take them down. You also have four spots available, so this round should be absolutely no challenge at all for you. The next level is also pretty easy, just use any pokemon, let it walk for awhile and then send a fast pokemon and have it use Protect. This should work pretty well, assuming your pokemon has decent speed. Your starter could probably work with this strategy, but try to use a faster pokemon if you can. If you don't have any fast pokemon, send all your pokemon, with your fastest pokemon using Protect coming last. Protect is a TM that can be learned by most any pokemon. Remember that TM's cost 10,000 dollars, so replay some old levels if you need money to buy it. This really shouldn't give you too much trouble either. The only problem you may find is Pidgey's Whirlwind attack, but if you send a bunch of pokemon at once, it shouldn't have time to hit all of them with Whirlwind, and one should be able to get past and get the candy. After this you have to try to get the candy, with Ekans and Sandshrew defending it. Use the earlier strategy here- a fast pokemon should easily get through if it is using Protect. Just send your pokemon together with the fast pokemon using Protect and you should be fine. The next level you have to defend against two Nidorans. Nidoran is a Poison type pokemon, and poison type pokemon have a weakness against ground attacks. Using Graveller or Golem here with Magnitude is definitely a great option. Psychic is also strong against poison, so a Kadabra or Alakazam with a strong psychic attack would also work pretty well. As long as you take advantage of weaknesses, you shouldn't have much trouble with this round either. The last round I found to be surprisingly easy. You have one pokemon attacking, and one pokemon is defending the candy. This pokemon is Mankey, and it uses a fighting attack. I suggest using a flying/ psychic pokemon here. This level in general is really not that difficult. Just find a set of 6 pokemon the match the criteria I listed above and you should be fine. This level may require a couple of plays before you beat it, but it doesn't really require high- level pokemon, it's mainly just strategy. There aren't any catchable pokemon in this level, since all the pokemon in Route 24 are trainers' pokemon.

Pokemon Tower Defense Easy Money

Remember how in my last post I said to catch to catch six Mankeys? Well this post will explain how doing this will help you get easy money in Pokemon Tower Defense. After you've caught your Mankeys, do whatever you can to get $10,000. You can play Route 3 a ton of times, training your pokemon at the same time, or you can go to Viridian Forest 1, where you'll make some decent money for each pokemon you defeat. Either way, all you need to do is get that initial $10,000. After that the rest is pretty easy. Simply click on your Mankey before starting a level and select "TMs/HMs" Now, find the move "Pay Day" and teach it to Mankey. Yes, this seems like a wate of $10,000, especially since its attack power is only 40, but trust me, this investment will make up for itself many times over. I get over $300,000 a day, all thanks to teaching that first Mankey Pay Day. Next, go to Route 3 and place Mankey closes to where the path starts and place any strong pokemon and the end of the path. Make sure that the strong pokemon can defeat any pokemon in the level in one hit. Now set the Mankey's move to Pay Day, and let it attack all the pokemon that come by. Make sure the strong pokemon is defeating the pokemon or the method will not work. Not sit back, and watch the Mankey hit the opposing pokemon with coins, and the strong pokemon defeat it. Supposedly, you get $10 for every hit on the opposing pokemon from Mankey. I'm not completely sure, nor do I care. It makes me a lot of money, so I take advantage of it. Once you get another $10,000, teach another Mankey Pay Day and use it for double the money. Keep adding Pay Day Mankeys in until you get 5 Mankeys with Pay Day. This is when you'll start making really good money. The best place to use this strategy is on Route 8, but it also works well on Route 3. Use any extra money for the Daily Gift in the Pokemon Center.

Route 3 Walkthrough

Route 3 is simply a level where you can train and catch more pokemon. This is a great place to train as well as catch some pokemon without worrying if any get through. This is also where you can start to earn some decent money, which I will discuss in my next post. Play this level multiple times so you can get your pokemon to higher levels. Training a lot now means you won't have to train much later. There are also quite a few good pokemon you can catch here, and you may see your first shiny pokemon here, if you haven't seen it yet. Here, I would make sure I catch a Nidoran (Male or Female it doesn't matter) so you can take advantage of Helping Hand, which Nidoking and Nidoqueen learn. Fortunately for me, I was able to catch a Shiny Nidoran Male as well as a Shiny Nidoran Female, which made leveling them up and evolving them pretty easy. Helping Hand is definitely a great attack, so try to make sure you get one of them. Also, try to catch six Mankeys here. Why? Because they are the pokemon that can be used for the money making method my next post will be about. Anyways, focus on training your pokemon this level, as this is one of the best in Chapter 2 for training. Try to go back and catch a Pikachu from Viridian Forest 1 and train it here. This Pikachu will be extremely helpful for the Cerulean Gym levels coming up. Just place it at the beginning of the level, and set its targeting options to "Most Health". Now place your strongest pokemon at the end of the level, and make sure it can kill most everything that comes by. Now, every time a pokemon is defeated, your Pikachu will get 50% of the experience. This method works with any pokemon, not just Pikachu, as long as you have a strong pokemon at the end of the path. Train as much as you can on this level. Set a goal, such as "I will train until my pokemon reach level 20" or "I will train until I see and catch a shiny pokemon". Stick to your goal and the next levels will be easier for you.

Catchable Pokemon: Pidgey, Spearow, Nidoran Male, Nidoran Female, Jigglypuff, Mankey

Pewter Gym Walkhtrough

This level can be hard or easy, depending on your starter pokemon. This level is 100% Rock and Ground, so if you chose Squirtle or Bulbasaur then you shouldn't have to much trouble. Just have Bulbasaur/ Wartortle use its strongest Water attack, or have Bulbasaur/ Ivysaur use its strongest Grass attack. If you have Butterfrees, go ahead and use all of them, having them use Confusion. The pokemon in this level all have high defense, but not particularly high special defense. This level can be beat with Charmander/ Charmeleon as well, just have it use Dragon Rage since Dragon Rage will do 40 damage regardless of the circumstances. This 40 damage will kill nearly every pokemon in the level in two hits, and if you have at least one or two other Butterfrees, this level should actually be quite simple for you. Another good option for this level is to get a Shiny Geodude from the first challenge level and have it use Magnitude. There are a lot of options for pokemon to use on this level, and as long as you aren't just using your starter pokemon, you'll find this level to be fairly easy. Make sure when you reach Wave 8 or so that you set the speed back to 1x if you had changed it, because right after Wave 9 you have to remove all your pokemon or they'll faint. There will be a lot of rocks that fall, and then 2 Onix will appear, going very quickly. Just replace your pokemon as quickly as possible and you'll be fine. For this level, you should put your two strongest pokemon in the two squares closest to the interest and your third strongest in the bottom middle square. Put your other pokemon on the sides of the level, near the pokeballs. After this level, you will have access to a great training spot, as well as a way to get as much money as you want.

Catchable Pokemon: None

Viridian Forest 1 Walkthrough

Viridian Forest 1 is where things may start to get a bit more difficult for you. If you chose Charmander as your starter pokemon then things shouldn't be too bad for you, but if you chose Bulbasaur or Squirtle then you may have a bit of trouble. There are two different approaches you can take to this level . You can either put three pokemon on each side and leave them there for the whole level, or you can switch your pokemon back and forth between paths. Either way works, assuming your pokemon are strong enough. In Wave 1, the pokemon come from the path on the right, then Wave 2 they come from the left, Wave 3 on the right, and so on, all the way up to Wave 10. On this Wave, very fast Pikachus come from both directions. Here, you should have 3 pokemon on each side. Don't worry too much about leveling up your "good" pokemon on this level, just make sure that you beat it. There'll be a great training spot in Chapter 2 you can take advantage of. For this level, I would use your starter pokemon, and a couple of Butterfrees. Metapod evolves into Butterfree at level 10, and Butterfree will learn Psychic, an attack that will not be affected by Metapod/ Kakuna's Harden. Use your starter pokemon's elemental attack and have Butterfree use Confusion. Use as many Butterfree as you need here, since you don't really need to worry about them taking away experience from your other pokemon. In this level you can catch Pikachu, a pretty rare pokemon that can't be found in any other level. If you see one, try to catch it, since it is helpful for the  Cerulean Gym levels later in the game. This level is pretty easy in exception to the last wave. Try not to let the pokemon touch the candy in the first 9 waves, as this will just make the last wave harder for you. With a team of Butterfree and your starter, you shouldn't have too much difficulty completing this level.

Catchable Pokemon: Weedle, Caterpie, Kakuna, Metapod, and Pikachu

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Route 2 Walkthrough

This level is another extremely easy level. Just place your starter pokemon in one of the bends of the path and let it kill everything. Make sure you level your pokemon as soon as it starts flashing, because once its experience bar is full, it won't gain any more experience until you level it up. Sometimes, you may find that its experience bar is full, buy you don't have enough money to level it up. If this happens, don't worry about it too much, because you'll likely find that you'll get the money soon. In the beginning of the game, money can definitely be an issue, but you'll find that later in the game you'll begin to collect and save money. There are also methods for farming money, and one in particular that can get you $30,000+ dollars per round. Don't worry about this now, I'll discuss it when you can use it. Money can also be used to teach your pokemon new moves, and also to purchase the daily code in the Pokemon Center, which allows you to get rare pokemon. Anyways, don't worry about money too much, just focus on beating the levels for now. If Route 2 is difficult for you, (which it likely won't be) just catch a few more pokemon and use them to help you defeat the pokemon there. Keep in mind what I said in my last post about how the pokemon get experience. Right now, you shouldn't need many other pokemon other than your starter pokemon. I would also like to take advantage of this post to talk about shiny pokemon. Sometimes while you are playing, there will be a pop- up that says "A Shiny Pokemon has appeared!" This is what everyone loves to see. If this happens, scroll to the beginning of the map as soon as possible, and drag the pokeball to the shiny pokemon. It will have a red health bar even if you have not attacked it. Shiny pokemon gain 1.5x more experience, and are also very popular among the people who trade pokemon. You should definitely catch it, no matter what pokemon it is. This may also happen with a legendary dog (Suicune, Raikou, and Entei) If this happens, you are extremely lucky because I have never encountered one, even though I've seen and caught lots of shiny pokemon. Don't worry if you don't see any shiny pokemon or legendary dogs in the first few levels, because their appearance rate is extremely low. Anyways, this is one of the last extremely easy levels, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Catchable Pokemon: Pidgey, Rattata, Weedle (Red Version), Caterpie (Blue Version)
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Route 1 Walkthrough

This level is also very easy, just like Oak's Lab. You don't need to do much other than place your pokemon on the map and let it attack. To be most effective, place your pokemon on the right side in the bend of the path, so it can get the maximum number of hits in. If you caught a Rattata in the last level you can use it here too, it will only make the level easier for you. Keep in mind that each defeated yields experience, but that experience is distributed among every pokemon that attacked it. This means that if you have two pokemon that attacked a defeated pokemon, they get half the experience. If you can, only use pokemon needed for later levels when playing easy levels. By doing this, you'll have an easier time with the harder levels since the pokemon you'll need will be strong. Try to plan ahead so you'll get the most out of your training. Anyways, this level is very easy. You'll beat it without much trouble at all. By now, your pokemon should have learned its first elemental attack. Since this is attack is the same type as the pokemon who uses it, it gets a 1.5x bonus for damage. This can be very helpful for the later levels, as well as helpful now. The pokemon in this level aren't resistant to any attacks except for Pidgey. Bulbasaur's attack, Vine Whip, is not very effective against Pidgey since Flying pokemon are resistant to Grass attacks. Don't worry about this too much though, since it will still likely do enough damage to defeat the Pidgeys. Hopefully you are learning about how this game works so you can use this knowledge for later. Even the most basic concepts of Pokemon Tower Defense- weaknesses, resistances, same type attack bonuses, are all extremely important later in the game. Try to remember everything you've learned in these past two walkthroughs, because this knowledge is vital.

Catchable Pokemon: Rattata, Pidgey
Level Difficulty: Very Easy

Oak's Lab Walkthrough

Oak's Lab is pretty easy as long as you know how to play, so I'll use this post to help you understand the controls. Before the level starts, when Professor Oak tells you to select your pokemon, simply pick the one you want to use (your starter pokemon) and place it in one of the six squares at the top. Once the level starts, click on your pokemon and drag him into one of the yellow open squares. It will automatically attack. If its box at the bottom of the screen starts flashing, click on the box and a menu of options should pop up. Here you should click 'Level Up' to level up your pokemon and make it stronger. Did it learn a new attack? If so, you can change its attacks by clicking on its box again and then clicking on the attack that you want it to use. There are also targeting options in this menu, which determines which pokemon your pokemon will attack if there are multiple targets in range. You can leave this alone for now, but keep it in mind because you may need to use it later. Do you notice how the pokemon have green bars when they first walk onto the screen? This means they can be caught. However, in order to catch them, you must lower their health until it is red. When the pokemon's health is red, click on the pokeball in the right-hand corner and drag it over to the pokemon you want to catch. If it's health is red, and it hasn't been killed, you can catch the pokemon and use it to battle for you. In the first couple levels, you do not need a full team of six pokemon to win, but later in the game this is crucial. Assuming you read this guide, you should now how to place a pokemon onto the screen. Just do this, let it attack, and win. Don't forget to level up your pokemon. This level is extremely short and easy, and you should have no trouble with it.

Pokemon Tower Defense Walkthrough

Welcome to my Pokemon Tower Defense Walkthrough! Here I will be posting walkthroughs for all of the Pokemon Tower Defense levels. When a new level comes out I will post a new walkthrough to it. In addition to walkthroughs for all the Pokemon Tower Defense levels, I will also post tips, hints, and any tricks I find. Before looking through the walkthroughs I have posted, please note that even my best strategies work unless your pokemon are high enough level. This Pokemon Tower Defense Walkthrough is designed to help you beat the levels without too much grinding and time spent on leveling up, but realize that some levels in this game are impossible without having high level pokemon. If you are having trouble leveling your pokemon up, don't worry, there will be methods including that will help you level up your pokemon. This Pokemon Tower Defense walkthrough is based on my playing experiences, so I will be posting what works for me. If you find that something else works for you then congratulations. Feel free to post a comment about it on here so other people will have another way of beating the level. In my opinion Pokemon Tower Defense is a great game and its creator definitely deserves a lot of praise. Please support him if you can because after all, he works long and hard to provide you with a free game. This walkthrough for Pokemon Tower Defense may contain some spoilers, so be aware, and don't let me spoil the game for you. I suggest that you try beating the level on your own before checking this walkthrough. I don't think that the first few levels of the game really need a walkthrough, but I will include one anyway, mostly just to show the new players the basics of Pokemon Tower Defense. However, if you are having trouble beating a level later in the game, and need a particular pokemon to do so, I'll include a list of catchable pokemon in each level. Just so you can get a basic idea of my typical post, I will usually talk about the theme/ prominent type of the level, what Pokemon you can use to beat it, and then a list of the pokemon in the level. If the level is difficult I may go into a detailed overview of what pokemon to put where, what moves they use, etc. I plan to make a very detailed, helpful Pokemon Tower Defense Walkthrough. I hope this Pokemon Tower Defense Walkthrough helps you! Good luck!
