Beat Lt. Surge in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee

AntMag.NET

Alright, ready to take on the Vermilion City Gym? This one's a bit different, focusing on trainers before you even get to the Gym Leader, Lt. Surge. He's an Electric-type specialist, so keep that in mind!

Walkthrough

1
First up, you'll face Sailor Dwayne. He's got a Level 22 Magnemite. This thing is Electric/Steel type, which means it's super weak to Ground-type moves – like, 4x weak! If you have a Ground-type Pokémon, this fight should be a breeze. Fire and Fighting types are also good options here.
2
Next, get ready for Rocker Baily. He's got two Level 22 Voltorb, both Electric-type. The first Voltorb is a bit tricky because it can use Self-Destruct. It's fast, so it might use it right away and deal a ton of damage. Be prepared to switch out or take a hit. The second Voltorb is more straightforward. Again, Ground-types are your best bet here.
3
Finally, you'll face Gentleman Tucker. He has a Level 22 Pikachu. Interestingly, this Pikachu doesn't seem to have any Electric-type attacks, but it can use Thunder Wave to paralyze your Pokémon. So, while it's not as dangerous offensively, you still want to avoid getting hit by that. A Ground-type Pokémon is still your safest bet to counter it.

Tips

Since Lt. Surge is an Electric-type trainer, having Ground-type Pokémon on your team is incredibly helpful for this gym. They resist Electric attacks and deal super-effective damage.
Watch out for Voltorb's Self-Destruct move; it can knock out your Pokémon in one go if you're not careful.
Even though Gentleman Tucker's Pikachu doesn't have Electric attacks, its Thunder Wave can still be a major nuisance. Consider bringing a Pokémon that is immune to paralysis or can cure it.

After you defeat these trainers, you'll finally get to face Lt. Surge himself. Beating him earns you the Thunder Badge!
