Stealth Rock


How it works: Stealth rock is having one of your Pokemon set up a "rock typed trap" for your opponents Pokemon. it'll cause damage to your opponent's Pokemon  as soon as they enter the field they'll take damage based of of their typing, Pokemon weak to rock type attacks will take more damage to then those resist, Here's an example of what I'm talking about. 

In three different battles three Trainers send out their Pokemon after stealth rocks have been set up.

Trainer One
"Go Arcanine" Arcanine loses a quarter of it's health before a move is chosen.


Trainer two
"Go Alakazam!"  Alakazam loses a eighth of it's health. 


Trainer Three
"Go machamp!"  Machamp loses only a tiny fraction of health after landing on the stealth rocks.

Why do these three Pokemon take different damage when getting hit by the same trap?
Because each Pokemon has a different typing; Arcanine is fire type and is weak to rock type, so he loses double what Stealth rock does normally (aka the damage it done to Alakazam) whom only loses only a eighth, Machamp on the other hand is fighting type, a typing that resists rock attacks, so when he lands in the stealth rock trap, he'll take half the regular damage.

Removal of Stealth rocks:
If you want to get rid of those pesky rocks on your side of the field, Never fear "Rapid Spin" is here!
Rapid spin is a move that removes any hazards on your side of the field while damaging the enemy Pokemon. luckily in generation one, there are a decent collection of Pokemon that are viable Rapid spinners; Here's a few on the top of my head.


Blastoise Water Type
Ability: Torrent/ Raindish

Evasion Bane of Pokemon
Double team... Minimize... When used against you, it can cause rage, as all your attacks hopelessly miss their mark.
But never fear! as there are tool you can use against this malicious "strategy."

Perish Song: How it works; Perish song is a move like no other, what it does is it Cause both Pokemon to faint in three turns, unless you switch the Pokemon out. This is really helpful for Pokemon that spam evasion who often try to stay on the field for extended amount of turns harming your Pokemon slowly with poison.
Two Pokemon learn the move by level up in Kanto The two pokemon are Lapras & Jynx both excellent pokemon in the meta game.

Lapras

Unavoidable moves
Unavoidable moves are used to bypass evasion and they're a god send, How they work: The name is pretty self explanatory Unavoidable moves will always hit their mark (unless enemy uses protect) but the downside is they have low power. Here's a few pokemon that can add a little punch to unavoidable attacks.
