How do you battle team rocket in saffron? - Answers

Go to Celadon City and defeat the gym leader, Erika, who uses Grass Types. Then, head to Saffron City and the Rocket standing in front of the Silph building should be standing next to the door (if you talk to him, he'll be sleeping). From there, you can go into the Silph Co. and defeat not only Team Rocket, but your rival is hidden in there too! Be prepared once you find him on the 7th floor.If that doesn't work, go to the Fighting Dojo (right next to Saffron's Gym) and defeat all five trainers in there, pick Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee, and the Rocket outside of Silph should be sleeping.I recently finished this game again, so I'm trying to remember how.Sorry!:)good luck!
