Anne and surf to the right, until you see a truck on an island, go ashore, and there it is! Does absolutely nothing tho...

Pokémon from the Safari Zone, first go to the Safari Zone and pick the area with the rare Pokémon you would like to catch. Wait for time to run out. Exit the building and fly to Cinnabar Island. DON'T battle any other Pokémon. On the island, go to the east side. Use surf. Go up and down that side, and only that side of the island. You will encounter Pokémon from the Safari Zone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howto have harder Hitting Attacks This code is sorta like the "Better Chance to Catch Pokémon" code but it's for attack. Just hold the A button while your attacking and it will do more damage than if you didn't hold A. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to clone Pokémon You need a friend for this. Trade the Pokémon to be cloned and have you friend get a Pokémon they dont care about. Trade them, and make sure the person getting the bad Pokémon can see the other's screen. When the reciever of the good Pokémon's screen says "waiting", get ready to shut the other one off. When waiting disapears, turn off the Game Boy that's getting the bad Pokémon. When the other one says trade completed, turn that one off too. When you turn the games back on, you should both have the Pokémon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A celadon city slot tip All of the slot machines have different odds, which change every time. Play each machine 4 times, and if it hits 2 or more, then stick with that one, because it's probably hot. If the slow machine forces you really close to a 777 or Bar Bar Bar it will probably give you one or the other soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cut Down Grassy Areas Once you get the HM "cut" your Pokémon can cut down grassy areas. Use "cut" and it will cut a two by two area. Wild Pokémon will not attack you in the area you cut. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Easy Level Gain To easily gain experience, simply switch the Pokémon you want to train with the top Pokémon on your list. When you go into battle the Pokémon will pop out. You can then switch to another Pokémon. Once you win the battle the beginning Pokémon and the fighting Pokémon will both gain experience points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fight Land Creatures in Water To fight creatures that normally live on land in water, go to the water around Cinnabar Island or Seafoam Islands (The only place you can be randomly attacked while swimming.) Swim along the shore of any island and you will fight land creatures. (You have to swim on a place where the square is half land and half water.) Instead of fighting a set group of monsters in the water, you actually fight monsters from the last place you were. So to get safari zone monsters, you need to go to the section of the safari zone with that monster, let your time run out, then go to the coast. Using this trick you can catch Kangaskhan, Scyther, and Tauros. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get Mewtwo After you have gotten all eight of your badges you need to go beat the Pokémon league. The credits will roll, then the menu pops up again. DO NOT RESET THE GAME!!!! Go to Cerulean City, then go north to the brige where you faced 5 trainers before the path to Bill's house. Turn left and there will be a large area of water. Surf until you get to a cave. You will find Mewtwo in that cave. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get Omanyte, Aerodactyal and Kabuto To get Aerodactyal and Omanyte or Kabuto you must first collect two out of three items. In Mt. Moon, before the exit, there is a guy you have to fight. If you when, you get the choice of two fossils. The one on the left is the Dome Fossil, which gives you Kabuto. The one on the right is the Helix Fossil, which gives you Omanyte. Go back to Pewter City, and cut the bush near the Museum. Go through the back door and speak to the guy near the sphere. He'll give you Old Amber, which gives you Aerodactyal. To get these extinct Pokémon, you most beat Koga in Fushcia City and get HM05 in Safari's Zone's secret house. HM05 teaches Surf, in which you can ride a water Pokémon. Go back to Pallet after getting HM05 and the soul badge. Surf down the water way south of pallet until you reach Cinnibar Island. Enter the building to the left of the Pokémon center. Proceed right until you reach the last door. Enter the door and speak to the man at the top. Give him either the Helix fossil, Dome Fossil or Old Amber. Leave, re-enter and he'll give you the corresponding Pokémon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get Rapidash First off, there are no wild Rapidash. None. Zilch. Zip. To get a Rapidash you must get a Ponyta from the abandoned warehouse in Cinnabar Island and then raise it to level 40. At that time it will start to evolve into the fastest pokémon of the world. Rapidash! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hidden Pokémon There are three pokémon that are hidden in the game. The pokémon are Zapdos, Mortles, and Artincuno. Zapdos can be found in the Power Plant by Cerulean City. Go on route 9, the area near the Rock Tunnel which you needed Flash for. Make sure you have the SURF abilty. Once you have surf go to the area where Route 9 ends. Go to the water and use surf. Keep going down and you'll see an opening where the rocks brek to open land, go on that and you'll see a big building. Go in there a keep walking around untill you see a bird pokémon standing there. Save your game and then fight the bird. Capture it, then its on too Fuchsia City! If you have fly go to the Fuchsia City gate on the left. You'll see a few little jumpable cliffs. Go to the edge of the water and use surf. Keep going left and you should see some islands. Go in the cave on the islands. You must have strength to get this next bird. Once in the cave find you way through the cave pushing all the rocks down the holes. This is important because you need to stop the current flow down below in the cave. Once you find you way to another bird pokémon, do the same as before. This is going to be Articuno. The final pokémon is Moltres, who an be found once you have all eight badges. After you have all the badges go to Victory Road at the Pokémon League. Make you way through the cave and you should see another bird pokémon. Repeat the same steps as you did for the other pokémon. NOTE: These pokémon aren't hard to see. They just stand there waiting. Be sure to save before you fight them as they only appear once in the game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secret Coins At the Game Corner there are secret coins lying around. You can get these coins by walking around and pressing the A button. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snorlax Cheat Some people think Snorlax can only be caught with an ultra ball. But there is another way. 1: Get Snorlax's health as low as possible then Capture him. 2: Throw the regular PokeBall then hold down and B. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stone and Trade Evolution Some Pokémon will only Evolve when they have been traded. They are: Before After Machoke Machamp Graveler Golem Haunter Gengar Kadabra Alakazam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some Pokémon don't Evolve till you give them a Stone. They are: FS = Fire Stone TS = Thunder Stone WS = Water Stone LS = Leaf Stone MS = Moon Stone Hint: You can get the stones in the Mart in Celadon City. Before = After Pikachu + TS = Raichu Nidorina + MS = Nidoqueen Nidorino + MS = Nidoking Clefairy + MS = Clefable Vulpix + FS = Ninetales Jigglypuff + MS = Wigglytuff Gloom + LS = Vileplume Growlithe + FS = Arcanine Poliwhirl + WS = Poliwrath Weepinbell + LS = Victreebell Shellder + WS = Cloyster Exeggcute + LF = Exeggutor Staryu + WS = Starmie Eevee + WS = Vapereon Eevee + TS = Jolteon Eevee + FS = Flareon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get Your Diploma To get your Diploma in the game...complete your pokedex getting all 150 entries, then go to the Game Freak Building and talk to the guy on the second floor (The guy that's not on a computer), if you completed your pokedex, he will give you your diploma. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 of Any Item To get 99 of any item, first put the item you want to multiply in the sixth item slot. Now use FLY and go to Viridian City. Talk to the old man almost all the way north of the town. When he asks if you are in a hurry, say no and watch him catch a weedle. Right after that, fly to Fuchsia city. Make your way south and, when you you reach the water's edge, use SURF and make your way to Seafoam island. When you get to seafoam island, swim up and down the beach until you run into a Pokemon called "M" (a glitch like Missingno.) Once you see him, kill him or run away. DO NOT CATCH HIM! After that, you should have 99 of your sixth item! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fight Land Creatures in Water To fight creatures that normally live on land in water, go to the water around Cinnabar Island or Seafoam Islands (The only place you can be randomly attacked while swimming.) Swim along the shore of any island and you will fight land creatures. (You have to swim on a place where the square is half land and half water.) Instead of fighting a set group of monsters in the water, you actually fight monsters from the last place you were. So to get safari zone monsters, you need to go to the section of the safari zone with that monster, let your time run out, then go to the coast. Using this trick I have caught Kangaskhan, Scyther, and Tauros! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get MissingNo. Warning! Catch missingno in the red version may delete your old game and prevent you from saving any other games. To get MissingNo (a glitch) go to Cinnabar Island and go into the Pokémon Research Labratory and trade with anyone in the first room. Then leave the Lab and go to the EAST of Cinnabar Island and surf up and down on the part where the land meets the water. Eventually the battle screen will come up and the screen goes black for about 5 seconds. Once you find him I suggest you use a Level 30 to 40 Pokemon. This is because Missing No., even at Lv. 80, has a VERY low defense rating. So get him down pretty low. Even at low he is still extremely difficult to catch. So next get a Pokemon that knows a sleep move and put him to sleep. Follow this up with a couple Ultra Balls and you should have him. NOTE: Catching MissingNo. may cause minor glitches. Also note that if he evolves (i.e., by receiving a Rare Candy) he will turn into a Khangiskahn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the Mimic TM Buy a Pokedoll in Celadon Mart, then FLY to Saffron and talk to the Copycat. She will give you the Mimic TM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 100+ Pokemon Follow these instructions to catch pokemon with really high levels. Talk to the old man in Viridian City who shows you how to catch pokemon. Fly directly to Cinnabar Island. Put your strongest pokemon on your team. You might want to save now. Surf on the shore where the land touches water. Keep Surfing until you run into one of these strong pokemon. These pokemon are well above level 100. Unfortunately, they will revert back to Level 100 if they gain any experience points. Rare Candy is the only thing that raises their level. They can be used in a two-player battle without losing their level, so have fun liquidating your friends! NOTE: This is a bug in the game. It will not work in newer versions of Pokemon and may crash your game if you try it.
