Location: Cherrygrove City

Puzzle:
On route back to New Bark Town after visiting Mr. Pokemon, you'll meet your rival for the first time. He's just stolen his first Pokemon which will always be the one with a type advantage over yours; however, since you have an opportunity to level your Pokemon up in the grass before you fight, you have nothing to fear. It should be an easy first match as long as he doesn't score a critical hit.

Puzzle:

As you try to enter the Ilex Forest, you'll be confronted by this sour individual and challenged. Here has has added Gastly and Zubat to his party. Watch out for Gastly's Hypnosis and the newly evolved starter.

Puzzle:
You'll find your rival exploring the Burnt Tower next. He's added a Magnemite to his team now, which is Electric/Steel-type as of the second generation. Beware of its Sonicboom attack, which will oncur a flat damage amount of 20HP. Haunter likes to use Curse but if you've beaten Morty already you'll know how to deal with it.

Location: Goldenrod Underground

Puzzle:
This time around your rival has cold-heartedly stolen a new Pokemon for his team: the Ice/Dark-type Sneasel. Sneasel has good Attack and Speed stats but has two Special based types for its STABs. Zubat has evolved and might be a pester with Wing Attack, and Haunter has now learned Shadow Ball. If you have a good mix of Psychic-type and Fighting-type moves in your arsenal, you should be safe.

Location: Victory Road

Puzzle:
Your rival will face you one last time before you head off to boot out the Elite Four. His team is complete now, though not fully evolved. He's added a Kadabra to his team, though this shouldn't been too much trouble if you have a Dark-type or Steel-type with strong Attack. Half his team is only in their second stages of evolution still so use that to your advantage with your own fully evolved team. This match is pretty straightforward and your rival doesn't have very many strong attacks on his Pokemon so you should be fine.

Location: Mt. Moon

Puzzle:
For this match you'll meet your rival at Mount Moon. His team has evolved with the exception of Golbat, but is still more of the same. Alakazam is frightening with Psychic but if you have a Houndoom or Steelix you should be fine. Gengar too can be a bit of a hassle though Shadow Ball won't hit for much off its weak Attack stat. The starter will have a strong STAB move so beware and counter appropriately. This is the last storyline match against your rival so give it your all!

Puzzle:
He's take the old advice of caring for his Pokemon to heart it seems because his Golbat has finally evolved into Crobat. This team is exceedingly fast with quick strikers like Gengar, Sneasel, and Crobat to boot. Annoyingly enough Alakazam can Recover. It's really more of the same though so there's not much point in prattling on with how to beat him. For experience and money you can fight him every Monday and Wednesday after you defeat him the first time. Good luck!
