Viridian Forest > If you haven't killed an encounter, kill a level 3 Caterpie. > Get the antidote on the ground. > Situational: Get the hidden potion all the way to the left of Sammy. > Bug Catcher Sammy: - Tail whip, then all tackle. - If you get poisoned, potion rather than antidote. You want Torrent. - Check your Special Attack at level 7 and 8. Reset if you don't get +2 on either if you're not doing a race. > If you got poisoned, and you have 15 special at level 8, go to 6 health before using the antidote.
