Cut is a very useful move in Pokemon Red. It can be used to clear paths, access new areas, and cut down berry trees. If you are planning on playing through Pokemon Red, it is definitely worth teaching Cut to one of your Pokemon.
Obtaining the Cut HM
To acquire the Cut HM, trainers must embark on a perilous journey through the vast Kanto region. Their quest begins at Vermillion City, a bustling metropolis renowned for its robust naval activity. From there, they must navigate the winding paths of Route 11, a coastal trail teeming with challenging terrain and formidable wild Pokémon.
As they venture deeper into Route 11, trainers will encounter a secluded cave known as Diglett’s Cave. This labyrinthine underground complex is home to an abundance of Diglett Pokémon, notorious for their mischievous antics. However, it is within the depths of this cave that trainers will find the coveted Cut HM, hidden amidst the treacherous tunnels.
Upon retrieving the Cut HM, trainers can teach it to any Pokémon within their party. This valuable move empowers Pokémon to slice through thorny barriers and dense vegetation, granting them access to previously inaccessible areas. With Cut at their disposal, trainers can continue their exploration of Kanto, unlocking hidden paths and encountering new Pokémon.
| HM Location | Item Description |
|---|---|
| Diglett’s Cave (Route 11) | Teaches the Cut move, allowing Pokémon to clear through obstacles. |
Locating the Fuchsia City Gym
To locate the Fuchsia City Gym, you’ll need to:
* Travel west from Lavender Town through Route 15.
* Follow the path until you reach a building with a large red roof and a sign that says “Fuchsia City Gym.”
Specific Directions
| Step | Directions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Leave Lavender Town and head west on Route 15. |
| 2 | Continue following the path, ignoring the first side path that leads to Celadon City. |
| 3 | When you reach a bridge, cross it and continue following the main path. |
| 4 | Shortly after crossing the bridge, you will see a building with a large red roof and a sign that says “Fuchsia City Gym.” |
Once you arrive at the gym, you can enter and battle the Gym Leader, Koga, a Poison-type specialist.
Battling and Defeating Koga
Koga is the fourth Gym Leader you’ll face in Pokémon Red and Blue. He specializes in Poison-type Pokémon, so it’s important to bring along some strong Fighting-, Ground-, or Psychic-type Pokémon to counter him.
Koga’s team consists of:
| Pokémon | Level | Moves |
|---|---|---|
| Venonat | 42 | Poison Powder, Psybeam, Sleep Powder, Psychic |
| Venomoth | 42 | Poison Powder, Psychic, Sleep Powder, Gust |
| Muk | 44 | Poison Gas, Sludge, Minimize, Acid Armor |
The key to defeating Koga is to take out his Pokémon quickly before they have a chance to use their poison attacks. Fighting-type Pokémon are the best choice for this, as they are immune to poison and can deal super effective damage to Poison-type Pokémon. Ground-type Pokémon can also be effective, as they are immune to electric attacks and can deal super effective damage to Poison-type Pokémon. Psychic-type Pokémon are also a good choice, as they can deal super effective damage to Poison-type Pokémon and can learn moves like Psychic and Shadow Ball that can hit all of Koga’s Pokémon.
Here are some tips for battling Koga:
- Lead with a strong Fighting-, Ground-, or Psychic-type Pokémon.
- Take out his Venonat and Venomoth quickly before they have a chance to use their poison attacks.
- Be careful of Muk’s Minimize and Acid Armor, which can make it difficult to hit.
- Use super effective moves like Earthquake, Psychic, and Shadow Ball to deal heavy damage to Koga’s Pokémon.
Receiving the Cut TM
The Cut Technical Machine (TM) is a valuable tool in Pokémon Red that allows your Pokémon to learn the powerful Cut move, which can be used to fell small trees and clear paths. To receive the Cut TM, follow these steps:
-
Travel to Vermilion City and enter the Pokémon Center.
-
Head to the second floor and talk to the woman standing behind the desk.
-
She will give you the Cut TM as a gift.
Once you have received the Cut TM, you can teach it to any Pokémon in your party that is capable of learning it. To do this, open the Pokémon’s menu, select “TMs and HMs,” and then choose the Cut TM. The Pokémon will then learn the move, which can be used in battle or outside of battle to cut down trees.
| Pokémon | Level | Move |
|---|---|---|
| Charmander | 16 | Cut |
| Squirtle | 16 | Cut |
| Bulbasaur | 16 | Cut |
The Cut move is a powerful attack that can inflict significant damage to Grass and Ghost-type Pokémon. It is also a useful utility move, as it can be used to clear paths that are blocked by trees. This can be helpful when exploring dungeons or navigating through dense forests.
In addition to using Cut in battle, you can also use it outside of battle to cut down trees. To do this, simply approach a tree and use the Cut move. The tree will be felled, and you will be able to continue on your way.
