Store the Missingno Pokemon
in Bill's PC. It will eventually turn into a Rhydon.
If you use the Missingno trick to surf up and down Seafoam Islands, you can also capture Squirtle and Charmeleon.
Hint:
Pokemon "M":
Go to Viridian City and
talk to the old man. When he asks if you are in a hurry, answer "No". After
he explains how to catch a Weedle, fly to Cinnabar Island. SURF on the
side of Cinnabar that faces the Seafoam Islands to find the Pokemon "M".
You may also find level 132 Mewtwos and Alakazams. Note: Obtaining M can
keep the game from continuing correctly, including preventing linked battles,
and other bad effects. It is recommended that M be released unless you
are just experimenting with the game.
By using this trick, you also have a very rare chance of getting Mew.
Hint:
Unlimited items:
Find the Missingno Pokemon
and defeat him. A design will appear in your sixth item. Deposit your sixth
item individually until it totals 99. Then you can divide the items by
fifty. If a no more room message appears, just withdraw an item and keep
depositing the sixth item. Check the CPU when this is complete to find
two groups of 99 of the same item. Note: Obtaining Missingno can keep the
game from continuing correctly, including preventing linked battles, and
other bad effects. It is recommended that Missingno be released unless
you are just experimenting with the game.
To get 99 of any item, first put the item to be multiplied in the sixth 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. After that, fly to Fuchsia city. Make your way south and, when you reach the water's edge, use SURF and go to Seafoam Island. After arriving, 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 6th item! Note: You can do this code as many times as you want and you can catch "M" another time. Additionally, instead of "M" a level 128 Starmie (Red Version) or Snorlax (Blue Version) may appear. Note: Obtaining "M" can keep the game from continuing correctly, including preventing linked battles, and other bad effects. It is recommended that Missingno be released unless you are just experimenting with the game.
Use the unlimited item trick with "Rare Candy". Once duplicated, use the "Rare Candys" on all your Pokemon that are at very low levels to quickly increase them. Note: The highest level possible is 100.
To upgrade your Pokemon's stats, duplicate items like Protien and Carbos.
Instead of having to fly back to Viridian to do the trick over again (if duplicating more than one item), the items may be switched if you stay in the water.
Use the unlimited item trick after getting 1 Protein, Iron, Carbos, and Calcium at Go to Celadon city. Put Protein in the sixth spot, duplicate it, then repeat with Iron and the rest of the items. Use them on your Pokemon to pump them up.
When trying to catch rare Pokemon (Mewtwo, the Legendary Birds, etc.) use the unlimited items trick and duplicate the Masterball. You will never miss catching a Pokemon.
Hint:
Unlimited money:
For unlimited money,
place a gold nugget in the sixth item slot and get ninety-nine of them
by using the "Unlimited items" trick. Sell all except one to increase your
money. Use the remaining gold nugget to repeat this procedure. Go to any
Pokemart and sell the nuggets until you have 999,999 coins. Go to Celadon
City and go to the Game Corner. Go inside and talk to the man at the counter,
who is on the right of the counter. He will ask you if you need coins.
Say yes. He will give you 50 coins. Continue until you have about 7,000
coins. Now you can buy any item or Pokemon in the Prize Exchange house.
Using a Full Restore with the "Unlimited items" trick can also result in a large amount of money when sold.
Hint:
Finding money:
Walk around and press
A in the Rocket Game Corner to find coins that people have dropped.
Go to the Rocket Game Corner, go up the first aisle and stand on the last chair on the left side. Then, move up one space then go right one space. Press A to find 100 coins.
Hint:
Saving money:
Instead of repeatedly
paying to get in the Safari Zone, save the game after entering. Then, instead
of paying again, just turn off the Game Boy and turn it back on.
Super potions cost 700
and revive by 50. However, in the Celedon City Department Store, lemonade
costs 350 and revives by 80. Note: This is on the fifth floor, at the vending
machines.
Information

Hint:
Hidden Nugget:
In Copy Cat's house,
go to her room. On the table at the top is a doll. Talk to the open space
on the table next to it. There is a Nugget hidden there.
Hint:
Avoiding battles:
If you do not want fight
all the gym leaders or people who want a fight while wandering in the cities,
just avoid them by walking past while they are looking away.
Hint:
Erasing HMs:
If you have Pokemon
Stadium on the Nintendo 64, you can erase at least 1 HM. If you have
at least 1 TM that the proposed Pokemon can learn, you should be able to
erase an HM.
Hint:
More than one rare candy item slot (Blue version):
Note: This code requires
six badges, FLY, CUT, SURF, and may only be done after the Elite 4 are
defeated. Use the "Unlimited items" trick for "Rare Candys". Then, fly
to Cerulean City and go to the end of the Nugget Bridge. Turn left to where
there is a long strip of grassy area bordered by water. Then, SURF through
the water path to the hidden dungeon. Fight various Pokemon and find a
Rare Candy, then save the game. Turn off the game, then load the previously
saved game. Tight another Pokemon or two, then press Start, go to
items, two slots of Rare Candys should appear. Note: This trick may not
work every time, and may also be done on Victory Road.
Information

Hint:
Rare Candy warning:
Be careful when using
Rare Candies. If you use too many rare candies your Pokemon will only get
half as strong as it could be.
Information
in this section was contributed by Dogracerx9
and jon rawer.
Once you have a level
100 Pokemon, there is no way to level it more, even with the "Unlimited
Rare Candies" trick. You can only catch a level 255 Pokemon, but once it
grows a level it will return to level 100.
Information
in this section was contributed by PoKeBrood1.
Hint:
Catch Pokemon easier:
Duplicate a Master Ball
using the "Unlimited Items" trick. Then, use the Master Balls on all the
Pokemon that you do not have to quickly capture them.
Information
in this section was contributed by AndyJ.tOrReS.
Hint:
Alternate music:
Defeat the Elite Four,
and at some point in the game, perform the "Unlimited items" trick. Go
to the PC and look at the Pokemon League stats. The music will change and
remain changed as long as your remain in the Pokecenter.
Information

Hint:
Level up at a daycare center:
For the daycare center,
1 step is equal to 1 EXP point. So, putting a low level Pokemon, or a Pokemon
that does not need many EXP points to level up is the easiest way to use
the daycare center. High level Pokemon will require about half the game's
worth of steps before it will evolve once. Also, do not leave unevolved
Pokemon there too long, as they can level up past their evolution point
and still be the same type of Pokemon.
Information
in this section was contributed by WebWhizTommy.
Hint:
Raise Pokemon stats after level 100:
Choose the Pokemon whose
stats you want to raise. Use it in battle until one of its attacks is out
of PP. Before healing it, deposit it in the PC and then immediately withdraw
it. Heal it at a Pokemon Center and one or more of its stats should have
gone up by at least 1.
Information
in this section was contributed by Ads03051x.
Put the Pokemon you want
to raise at the top of your lineup. Fight through the Elite Four using
only that Pokemon. After that, put the Pokemon in an empty PC box, then
take it out again. The Pokemon's stats will have risen by at least 1 point.
Information
in this section was contributed by zagor.
Hint:
Increasing stats:
Make a Pokemon run out
of power points for a move it learned on its own. Then, store it in the
PC, take it out, and heal it. One or more of its stats will be raised slightly.
Information

Hint:
Pokemon from the Game Corner:
Pokemon that are bought
at the Game Corner are higher in level than when you catch them in the
wild.
Information
in this section was contributed by Emblazon_Blade.
Hint:
Reviving Pokemon easily:
Note: This trick requires
a level 99 or less Pokemon, a Rare Candy, and a Max Potion. If a Pokemon
faints, use the Rare Candy, then the Max Potion. Note: The battle must
end before doing this trick.
Information

Holmes.
Hint:
Old man on roof:
Step to the right of
the door at the gym where you get the Volcano Badge. You should be on the
edge of the water. Use Lapras or another Pokemon to SURF out into the water.
Then, come back in and go to the door. The game will say that the door
is locked. Look on the roof to find an old man.
Information
in this section was contributed by Stone Cold Clayton and Do
Gweon.
Hint:
Teleporting old man:
This trick is similar
to the old man on roof trick. Go into Celadon City. Store your bike on
the PC, then go to the building that leads to Cycling Road. When you try
to go past the guard, he will tell you that no pedestrians are allowed
on Cycling Road. While he is telling you this, look at the wall behind
him. The old man will be on top of the wall. When you move back by one
little square, go down toward the stairs and try to get past the guard
again. He will tell you the same thing again, and this time the old man
will be a little to your left.
Information
in this section was contributed by SuPErSaiYAn65.
Hint:
Phantom PC:
Go to the hotel in Celadon
City. Move to the upper right corner. Just like in the Pokemon Centers,
stand just in front of the upper right hand corner. Press A and
you can access the PC.
Information

Hint:
Easy experience:
An easy way to earn experience
for a weaker Pokemon is to put your lowest-level Pokemon at the top of
your list. When a fight begins, it will be the first Pokemon released.
Instead of fighting, just switch to a stronger Pokemon. The weaker Pokemon
will share the experience from the battle without being put in any danger.
This is a good way to make your Pokemon gain experience evenly.
Information
in this section was contributed by Ed Griffiths.
You can get high experience points by using the Exp. All. Deposit the other Pokemon in the poke box in a Pokemon Center. Then, simply go defeat a Pokemon. The experience will multiply itself by two, therefore giving the Pokemon double experience.
Place the Pokemon that
you want to level up at the top of your list. Fight the Elite Four, then
switch to the Pokemon you want to win with, and bring it out. Keep repeating
this with every trainer and Pokemon.

Talley and Lillymon83.
Hint:
Winning money in Celadon City:
Enter Celadon City and
get the coin case from the man in the back of the diner. Go to the slots
and ask for some free coins. You will use these to play the slots and win
Pokemon prizes. Here is how to find the slot machine that pays out the
most. When you walk in, there are rows of slots. Find the man to the far
left that says "wins come and go". Below him is a machine that is out of
order. Play the machine directly beneath it. Do not get frustrated if you
do not win constantly. If it stops paying out a lot, leave, go train your
Pokemon, and come back later. Note: This trick works more often in the
"Blue" version of the game.

Hold Select during
slot machine spins for a better chance of winning.

An easy way to gain money
in the slot machines is to raise your luck. Just carry six Chanseys with
you -- but even having one will add to your chances.

Rollins.
Also try walking around
Celadon's Game Corner and repeatedly press A to find coins that
people have dropped
Information

Queen and Barrett Steinberg.
When you enter Celadon
Game Corner, go up to the bookshelves. Look at the second one to the left
and press A. You should get 100 coins for the Game Corner, but only
with the Coin Case.
Information

Farmer.
Hint:
Easy coins:
When you go to the house
with the group of casino machines, press B on the gambling people's
backs to gain 10 to 20 coins each. You can get up to 120 coins this way.
Information
in this section was contributed by TVgen98.
Hint:
Teleport:
An Abra is hard to catch,
but it is worth it. When your Pokemon are weak and you need to get to a
Pokécenter quickly, press Start and choose Pokemon. A list
of your Pokemon will appear. If you have Abra with you, choose him and
select teleport. Note: You have to be outside first; use an escape rope
if needed. It will take you directly to the last Pokemon Center visited.
Information
in this section was contributed by James
Queen.
Hint:
Clone Pokemon:
Note: This trick requires
another Game Boy and Pokemon game. Trade the Pokemon to be cloned, and
have the other player get a Pokemon that he or she does not care about.
Trade them, and make sure the player receiving the bad Pokemon can see
the other player's screen. When the Game Boy that receives the good Pokemon's
displays "Waiting", get ready to shut the other Game Boy off. When the
"Waiting" message disappears, turn off the Game Boy that is receiving the
bad Pokemon. When the "Trade completed" message appears, turn off the remaining
Game Boy. Both games will have the same good Pokemon when they are turned
back on. Note: Do not attempt this trick with any saved games you wish
to keep, as it can corrupt those files if done incorrectly.
Information
in this section was contributed by Spounge.
Hint:
Other ways to get to a Pokécenter:
Besides teleporting,
the following methods may also be used to get to a Pokécenter. Use
Dig when in a cave; Fly (HM05 that lets you fly to any desired town; Also
try Softboiled that you can only teach Chansey. It takes some of Chansey's
health to give to another Pokémon, and also restores Chansey's health
by half during a battle. Flash, used to light up Rock Tunnel and make an
opponent's accuracy fall. Cut used to cut certain bushes and is used like
Scratch in battle. SURF, which lets you surf across any body of water and
is used like the Hydro-Pump in battle.
Information
in this section was contributed by Barrett
Steinberg.
Hint:
Keep earning money:
Here is a great way to
keep getting money even after beating all the trainers in the game. Keep
betting the Pokemon league 4 and your rival repeatedly. You can beat them
an unlimited number of times. This is also a useful to build levels quickly.
Information

Generate Three Sixteen.
Hint:
Fight Safari Pokemon elsewhere:
This trick allows you
to fight Pokemon from one area of the game in another area. For example,
go to the Safari zone and battle for a while. Fight a Tauros, then leave
the Safari zone. Then, go to the island where Articuno is found. Swim up
and down the shore, at the point where it appears that you are on the ground,
but are actually swimming in the water. Monsters from the Safari zone will
appear here.
Information
in this section was contributed by Matt Golden.
Go to the desired area
for the Pokemon you want to catch. If you do see the Pokemon you want,
do not catch it. Run away, then exit the safari zone. Fly to Cinnabar Island
then surf up and down on the coast facing the Seafoam Islands. Eventually
you will see Pokemon from the Safari Zone. Note: You do not have to see
the Pokemon you want to catch, you just have to go to the area of the Safari
Zone where the Pokemon you want are located.
Information
in this section was contributed by Nintendoboy789.
You do not have to see
the Pokemon in the Safari Zone to catch them. You can just walk into it
then back out and have a chance of getting Pokemon.

Hint:
Unlimited Safari Zone fishing:
You can use any rod in
the Safari Zone and you will not lose any time while fishing.
Information
in this section was contributed by Stefdy.
Hint:
Alternate route to Cinnabar Island:
You do not have to go
through Seafoam Island to get to Cinnabar Island. Return to Pallet Town
and SURF down to reach Cinnabar Island.
Information
in this section was contributed by Carl
Olson.
Hint:
Finding the secret house in Safari Zone:
Ironically, the easiest
way to the secret house is to use a Pokemon that knows SURF. Trade a friend
(temporary or not) and enter the Safari Zone. Go straight up to the water
and SURF across (stop and pick up the item on the "island"). When you reach
the other side of the water, go up towards the left and through the opening.
Then, go straight up onto a hill and come down on the other side. Go down
and keep going down until you reach another hill. Go up, go left, then
get off the hill. Go up and SURF across the water. The secret house should
be right in front of you. Enter the house and talk to the man, then press
A on the first statue to your right. The gold teeth are to your
right, past the hill, and down.
The other way to reach
the is as follows: Go east (right) to the bush. Go up, then to the right
on across the arrows. Go east, then up on the first hill, go west and come
down. Go north-east, ignore the rest house, start to go west (above the
first row of bushes), and stay under the second row. Keep going west. Cross
the arrows into the next area. Go west, ignore the mountain, and you will
reach three mini-lakes. Go north-east. Ignore the rest house, and go west
again above the row of bushes. Just follow that path to the west, then
south. You will soon reach the secret house area.
Information

Hint:
Unlimited chances to catch rare Pokemon:
First, find a rare Pokemon
such as a Mewtwo. Then, immediately before entering a battle with it, save
the game. Now you can battle the Pokemon without worrying about not catching
it. If you make a mistake and make it faint, stop and shut off the game.
Then, turn on the game and use the continue option to restart just before
the battle.
Information
in this section was contributed by Matt Golden.
Hint:
Unlimited time for Safari Zone (Water Pokemon only):
This trick allows an
unlimited amount of time in the Safari zone to catch Water Pokemon. Obtain
a good or super rod. Next, go to the Safari zone and find some water. Then,
go into inventory and use the rod to start fishing. If a "Not even a nibble"
message appears, press A, then quickly press Start. If you
got into a fight, check the Pokemon out. If it is one you do not have,
catch it then quickly press Start after the battle. Return to the
inventory and fish again. If you already have this Pokemon, run from it,
then quickly press Start and begin fishing again. This will help
you catch some good Water Pokemon with plenty of time.
Information
in this section was contributed by Matt Golden.
Hint:
Quick Safari Zone captures:
Go to the Safari Zone
and use up your time in the different areas. Once the PA removes you from
the hunt, fly to Cinnabar Island and SURF half on land and in the water
on the side facing Seafoam Island. In a short amount of time, you will
be able to capture all of the Pokemon from Safari Zone.
Information
in this section was contributed by Articuno.
Hint:
Fish forever:
In the Safari Zone, the
500 units that are allocated when entering are based on number of steps,
not time, spent. You can fish forever in the park if you go to water and
not move the entire time that you are fishing.
Hint:
Fishing for good Pokemon:
This trick requires the
Blue version of the game, a super rod, and five badges. Go fishing in the
Pokemon HQ building. To reach the building, use the path west of Viridian
City (route 22). Once inside, some annoying gaurds will ask if you have
certain badges. You will eventually reach an indoor pool/lake that must
be crossed on a Pokemon that knows SURF. Go fishing here to eventually
catch Slowbro, Psyduck, Kingler, Seadra, and Seaking. Additionally, a Ditto
may be caught in the grass across from the lake.
Information

Melroe.
Hint:
Using rods:
Old rods only catch Magikarp.
Good rods catch Goldeens, Magikarps, and Poliwags. Super Rods catch will
catch all the water dwelling Pokemon.
Information

Hint:
Better chance to capture Water Pokemon:
Press A when the
rod comes out. This works most of the time.
Information
in this section was contributed by codeking3.
Hint:
Better chance to capture Pokemon:
When you throw a Poke-ball
hold A as it closes on the Pokemon. The Poke-ball will shut tighter,
making it easier to catch the Pokemon.
Information
in this section was contributed by Matt Golden.
When using any kind of
Poke-ball (except the Master Ball), enter a battle and prepare to throw
it at a Pokemon. As soon as it appears, hold Up + B. The
Ball will become a Master Ball and catch the Pokemon. Note: This trick
requires precise timing.

Hint:
Catch Pokemon at level 15:
Press Start, A,
B (requires precise timing) to catch a Pokemon at level 15 with
the Poke-ball.
Information

chu.
Hint:
Catch Pokemon easilty:
To catch Pokemon easily
using any kind of ball (except the Master Ball), go into battle. Hold B
as soon as you see the ball explode. If you hold the button just as the
ball explodes and release it after you see the ball wobble a second time,
you will have a good chance at catching a Pokemon.

Hint:
Defeating Rock and Ground type Pokemon with normal element Pokemon:
Just teach the normal
Pokemon Surf or any other water moves. This trick works with almost every
normal Pokemon.

Hint:
Harder hitting attacks:
Hold A while attacking
to do more damage.
Information

Hint:
Blocking the Swift move:
In order to block the
move Swift, teach a Pokemon Substitute. Use it against a Pokemon that knows
Swift. The opponent's attack will be taken by the substitute. Your Pokemon
will remain unaffected.
Information

Hint:
Ineffective poisons:
If one of your strong
Pokemon gets poisoned during a battle, just keep using a move that can
cause an instant K.O.. If you keep knocking out the opponent's Pokemon
one after another, the poison will not work. Also, instead of pressing
and holding the D-pad, tap it to take small steps.
Information
in this section was contributed by Chris
Enoch.
Hint:
Poison:
Every four steps you
take when poisoned will hurt your Pokemon. Take the shortest way out of
a cave or patch of grass to get less poisoned; or you can get a Pokemon
that knows Fly, Dig, or Teleport and get to a Pokemon Center as fast as
possible.
Use the following trick
if you are poisoned in a battle and it lasts, and you have no healing items
but a town is nearby. Learn where the Pokemon Center is located -- you
may want to save the game before you look for it. Then, turn your game
off, then back on again. Map out the shortest route possible and press
the D-pad lightly to take small steps. Enter the town and go to
the center -- hopefully you will be able to make it in time,
Information

Hint:
Get all three beginning monsters at Professor Oak's lab:
Note: Another Game Boy
with the game and a link cable are required for this trick. Transfer your
Pokemon to the other Game Boy. Begin a new game on the original Game Boy
and get a monster that was not collected in the first game and transfer
it to the other Game Boy. Repeat this step again, then transfer the monsters
back to the original Game Boy. This allows your game to have the three
starting Pokemon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) plus any others
that were already captured.
Information
in this section was contributed by Zapdos.
Note: When doing this
trick, you are forced to loss all saved data on the game you want the Pokemon
for, and if you do this trick later in the game, if you trade all your
Pokemon back and forth, they will be to wild for a starter game.
Information
in this section was contributed by Phil
Abbate and Butrice99.
You can raise the Pokemon with rare candies up to level 255. After that, they return to level 0. Note: The Pokemon available may vary from cartridge to cartridge.
This trick is also dependent
on the name of the trainer. For example, David on the red version allows
you fight Mewtwos.
Information

Hint:
Go on Cycling Road without a bicycle:
Walk up as far as you
can in the building to Cycling Road. Walk forward and the guard will say
that you cannot go on cycling road without a bicycle. While he is saying
that, hold Left and quickly press B several times until you
are across from the guard. Note: If you already have a bike and you want
to try this trick, deposit your bike in a computer.

Hint:
Getting the Master Ball:
Go into the fifth floor
of the Silph Co. building in Saffron City. Go to the bottom of the screen
to find a man standing next to a teleporter. Enter the teleporter to travel
to another room. Get off the teleporter, then go in it again to return
to the fifth floor. Go right to find a ball that looks like a Pokeball.
Pick it up -- it should be a card key. Go back in the teleporter you used
before. Get off the teleporter, then enter it again. Go up and go to the
third floor. Go down, then go left to find a "wall" blocking the way. Talk
to the "wall" and the card key will open it. Go left to find a teleporter.
Enter the teleporter, then go left and you will battle Gary. Talk to the
man near Gary and he will give you a Lapras. Keep going down, then four
steps right. Go up, then talk to the "wall" to open it. Go up and battle
Giovanni. Defeat him, then talk to the man (Mr. Fuji). He will take you
to his house and give you a Master Ball. This Poke Ball will catch Pokemon
100% of the time. You can only use it once, so use it on rare Pokemon such
Moltres, Mewto, Zapdos and Arcticuno.

Hint:
Catching Water Pokemon:
Stand in front of any
statue of a gym and use the rod to catch Water Pokemon.
Information

Hint:
Using the Item Finder:
The Item Finder is only
useful if you know where to look. Try dead end and secluded areas as well
as the underground tunnels.
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1.
When you get the Item
Finder people say that you can find a bottle with a note saying Mariuu
(Pikablu) is located somewhere in the Seafoam Islands. You are supposed
to use the Item Finder in the water near the Mewtwo lair. However, this
bottle cannot be found in the Blue or Red version. You can hear the beep
of an item, but you can never get it.
Information

Use the Item Finder when
you go to the underground path to Vermilion City to find a Full Restore
and a X Special.

Hint:
Dig advantage:
Dig is very effective
against Ghost and Psychic Pokemon.
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1.
Hint:
No need to typecast:
Dragon Rage, Sonicboom,
Night Shade, Super Fang, Psywave, and Seismic Toss are attacks that are
never typecast. Those attacks will always do normal damage regardless of
Pokemon types.

Hint:
Stand on a tree:
If you have a Pokemon
that knows CUT (TM 01), cut down a tree, stand on the place where the tree
was cut down, save the game, and turn it off. Turn the game back on, select
"Continue" and press A when the game starts. Your character should
be on a tree.

Meyn.
Hint:
Finding Pokemon in grass:
You can cut down the
grass you catch pokemon in by using the Cut move.
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1.
Hint:
Rare Pokemon:
You can catch evolved
forms of rare Pokemon in the Unknown Dungeon (where you get Mewtwo). This
includes Wigglytuff, Arbok, Sandslash, Venomoth, Kadabra, Parasect, Raichu,
Hypno, Magneton, Dugtrio, Marowak, and Electrode.
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1.
Hint:
Evolution:
Evolution has good and
bad points. Good: Pokemon gain higher stats; you complete your Pokedex
faster; useless Pokemon get much more effective (Magikarp into Gyarados).
Bad: Pokemon learn attacks slower (Squirtle learns Hydro pump at level
42, Wartortle at level 47, and Blastoise at level 52, ten levels longer
than Squirtle).
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1.
Hint:
Prevent evolution:
This trick will allow
you to keep Pokemon from evolving at their evolution state. Just keep training
your Pokemon until they have learned their final technique (for example,
Squirtle's Hydro Pump).

Hint:
Easy experience:
Trade all the Pokemon
in your team to a friend, then trade them back. They will earn 1.5 times
the experience points in battles.
Information

Hint:
Diploma:
Catch all 150 Pokemon
in the European version of the game. Talk to the man in the Celedon Mansion's
Game Freak corner (the man that is not using the computer). He will give
you a surprise diploma.
Information

Using the "Missingno"
cheat at the Seafoam Islands can sometimes allow you get a level 160 Magnemite.
If you train it, it goes down to level 100, but you can raise its level
and evolve it into Magneton by using Rare Candy.
Information

Lucking.
When you use the "Missingno"
cheat, the high leveled Pokemon you see will depend on your chosen name
and which game you have.
Information
in this section was contributed by A15Vixen.
Hint:
Chansey:
Get to the Safari Zone.
Locate the rest house with the person that looks like a biker. Talk to
him. If he says, "I caught a Chansey! That makes this worthwhile!", you
will know that he is the correct person. After that, go to the closest
patch and walk around. Eventually, you should run into a Chansey. Note:
This does not make Chansey easier to catch.
Information

Hint:
Charizard:
Normally, Charizard can
not learn FLY in the Red or Blue version of the game. However, if you trade
Charizard to a Yellow version, it can learn FLY there. Then, trade it back
to the Red or Blue version.
Information

Hint:
Clefable:
To get this Pokemon,
go to the top of Viridian City. Go to the old man and answer "No". Watch
him catch a Weedle via a Pokeball. Then, Fly to Fuchsia City. SURF to Seafoam
Islands and SURF up and down (while in the water) until Clefable appears.
It should be at level 137.

Hint:
Ditto:
Place a level 5 Magikarp
at the front of the lineup and allow Ditto transform into it.
Information
in this section was contributed by Ian
Manka.
Take a Ditto and go to
the strip of grass near Nugget Bridge and the Unknown Dungeon. Fight a
Pidgey and use Transform. You will get Gust, Sand-Attack, and Quick Attack.
Press Select and switch Gust with Sand-attack. Defeat the Pidgey.
Transform will be erased and will be replaced with a nameless move that
has the type "Cooltrainer." Get a PP up and an item, such as Max Elixir,
that restores PP. Use PP-Up on Ditto's new attack. The game will show a
glitch that implies that the attack's PP went up. These will not be restored
in a Poke Center -- in order to use the attack you must use Max Elixir,
Elixir, Ether, or Max Ether to restore the PP. It is now possible to use
Ditto's new attack. It hardly ever hits, but if it does it will show two
flashes of light and then do damage.
Information

Levy.
Hint:
Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite:
When you look at Dratini,
Dragonair, or Dragonite's Pokédex file, there will be a "no location"
for them. According to this information, you cannot catch them in the wild.
Information
in this section was contributed by Emblazon_Blade.
Hint:
Dratini:
To catch a Dratini in
the Safari Zone, go to a area where there is a strip of land in the middle
of the pond. Surf to the strip of land and use the Super Rod to fish there.
If you are lucky, a level 15 Dratini should appear.
Information

and Maniac.
You cannot capture Dratini,
but you could buy one at Rocket Game Corner.

Hint:
Eevee:
To catch an Eevee, go
to the Cerulean City Pokemon Center. Enter the opening on the side. Go
down that back way to a big building enter it. Go to the last floor to
find an office with a Game Boy in it. Enter that to find a Pokeball that
contains an Eevee.

Electrode and Tangela:
Go to the Research Lab
on Cinnabar Island. Enter the first door to find people that will trade
those Pokemon to you.

Submitter 009 1/2.
Hint:
Farfech'd:
Go to the Vermilion City
Pokemon Mart and keep going left. You will see two houses. One of them
has a sign next to it, and one does not. Go two the house without a sign
and talk to the girl. She will give you a Farfech'd if u have a Spearow.

Submitter 009 1/2.
Hint:
Fearow:
To get this Pokemon,
go to the top of Viridian City. Go to the old man and answer "No". Watch
him catch a Weedle via a Pokeball. Then, Fly to Fuchsia City. SURF to Seafoam
Islands and SURF up and down (while in the water) until Fearow appears.
Information
in this section was contributed by Nathan.
Hint:
Gyrados:
Buy the Magikarp offered
to you just before Mount Moon by entering the Pokemon Center. A fat man
will ask you if you want a Magikarp for 500 dollars. Although it may seem
like a bad price, it will be worth it later. Place Magikarp first in the
list. When battling, switch Magikarp with your strongest Pokemon and finish
off your opponent. Keep repeating this until it reaches level 20. the best
place to train Magikarp is the Unknown Dungeon or Diglett's Cave.
Information

Hint:
Haunter:
You can also catch Haunter
over level 100 by using the rare candy code.
Hint:
Kangaskhan:
Go to Fuschia and SURF
until reaching Sea Foam Island. SURF up and down until M Pokemon appears.
Catch it, nickname it, and use one rare candy on it to evolve it into Kangaskhan.
Information
in this section was contributed YangVA10.
The following steps can
also be used to easily get a Kangaskhan on the Red version of the game,
and may also work in the Blue version. Talk to the old man in Viridian
City. Reply "No" when he asks you the question. Watch him catch the Weedle.
Fly to Cinnabar Island and SURF to the east part of the island. Make sure
you do not go on any grassy area. Keep surfing until a wild M' appears;
it looks exactly like MissingNo. Capture him, then run from battle because
it will act as if you did not catch him. He would always be at level 0.
Then, give him a Rare Candy or make it at least gain a level. When he gains
a level, he will start evolving.
Information
in this section was contributed by BadBoyzDX9.
Hint:
Kakuna and Metapod:
This trick allows Kakuna
or Metapod to be able to fight and not just Harden,. When you have a Caterpie
or Weedle that is at level 6, do the following. In order to make Kakuna
and Metapod keep Tackle or Poison String and String Shot, make them stop
evolving. They should be at level 7. Allow them evolve at level 8 and you
will have a Metapod or Kakuna with an actual attack.
Information
in this section was contributed by Emblazon_Blade.
Catch a wild Kakuna or
Metapod. Put them to the day care center near Cerulean City. Wait for them
to increase at least one level up. Pick them up and they will have the
same attacks as their former evolutionary stage, but not harden -- Kakuna
should have Poison Sting and Metapod should have Tackle.
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1
and josh doyals.
Just capture a Caterpie/Weedle
with Tackle and String Shot. Let it evolve to Metapod/Kakuna, to get one
that can attack.

Hint:
Lickitung:
Go to the Pokemon Center
in Fuchsia City. Go left and keeping moving in that direction past Koga's
Gym. Then, keep going up and find the Cycling Road Entrance House. Enter
use the stairs to find Professor Oak's aide and a trainer. Talk to the
trainer and he will give you a Lickitung if you have Slowbro.

Submitter 009 1/2.
Hint:
Magikarp:
Magikarp's Splash move
does nothing, except against Tentacool where it does instant damage.
Information
in this section was contributed by markcari.
Due to the fact that Magikarp
is weak, the first thing you need to do is evolve it. Then teach it Bubble
Beam, the move you obtained from Misty. Next level up your Pokemon and
it should learn Dragon Rage and Ice Beam. This is a very strong Pokemon
as it is not effected by water, fire, or earth.
Information
in this section was contributed by Marvin
Cox.
Hint:
Mankey:
To get Mankey, talk to
the old man that tells you how to catch Pokemon. Then, go to the first
patch of grass on the way to the Pokemon League. There are many Mankeys
at that location.
Information
in this section was contributed by KenjiMaril.
Hint:
Meowth:
Trade a Meowth from the
blue version of the game as soon as you catch it to a new red version game.
Meowth will soon acquire the Payday attack. Although Meowth will be hard
to control, you will be able to make a large amount of money from the Payday
move when he does listen. Use this move on wild Pokemon because you will
not be able to control Meowth until you get the Cascade badge.
Information
in this section was contributed by Stone
Cold Claydoh and Barrett Steinberg.
When you face off against
Mewtwo use Screech and its defense will fall greatly. Then, use an attack
of your choice. Keep on using attacks until it has been weakened enough,
then catch it with a Pokeball.
Information
in this section was contributed by Lourdes
Rushwin.
Mewtwo is very hard to
capture without a Master Ball. However, it also can be done with a Ultra
Ball, or Great Ball. You must have a Pokemon over Lv. 60 or 70 to capture
it with the Ultra Ball or Great Ball.
Information

Hint:
Pikachu:
The first place that
you can catch a Pikachu is in Viridian Forest.
Information

Hint:
Raichu:
Raichu is located in
the Unknown Dungeon and the Power Plant in the Blue version of the game.
Raichu is only located in Unknown Dungeon in the Red version.

Hint:
Rhiorn:
When you go to the Safari
Zone find a Rihorn (or any other Pokemon), run from it, find it again,
then catch it.
Information

Hint:
Sandslash:
To get this Pokemon,
go to the top of Viridian City. Go to the old man and answer "No". Watch
him catch a Weedle via a Pokeball. Then, Fly to Fuchsia City. SURF to Seafoam
Islands and SURF up and down (while in the water) until Sandslash appears.
It should be at level 27 or 37.

Hint:
Seadra:
It is possible in the
Blue version of the game to capture a Seadra by fishing in the indoor pool
at the Indigo Plateau Building.
Information
in this section was contributed by Christopher
Dalby.
Hint:
Tangela:
Tangela can also be found
outside of the Safari Zone. Go to Pallet Town, go down to the water and
Surf down. There should be a grassy area on the land to your right. You
can catch LV 30 Pidgeottos, Raticates and Tangelas there.

Hint:
Wigglytuff:
To find a wild Wigglytuff,
search in the secret dungeon in the tunnels that you get to by going through
the stairs.
Information
in this section was contributed by Kidroute.
Hint:
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo:
To capture all of these
Pokemon, you must have a Haunter at level 60. Put the Pokemon to be captured
to sleep, then use Night Shade to weaken them. Finally, use an Ultra Ball.
Hold A until the ball opens, then let it go to capture them. If
it fails, try the Ultraball again at least three times. Note: Articuno
is very difficult to capture.
Information
in this section was contributed by Adam
Havas.
Another strategy is to
use a powerful Raichu and Ultra Balls for Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
For Mewtwo, try using Artcicuno first and freeze it with Blizzard and Ice
Beam. Then, weaken it with other Pokemon before finishing the battle with
a Raichu and Pokeball.
Information
in this section was contributed by Bear654.
An easy way to catch the
the legendary birds (Articuno,Moltres and Zapdos) is to put then to sleep
using Gastly, Haunter or Gengar. Use Dream Eater until they only have a
very small amount of energy left. Then throw Ultra Balls until they care
caught.
Information
in this section was contributed by Patriach1.
Hint:
Defeating Mewtwo:
When you are in a link
battle and your opponent uses the weak rare candy trick on a Mewtwo, use
an Electrode (have a two or so in your line-up). Attack Mewtwo until you
are too weak to continue. Then, use Explosion and kill yourself to take
out the Mewtwo.

Hint:
Better Safari Zone Pokemon:
The more money spent
to enter the Safari Zone, the better the Pokemon that can be obtained.
Information
in this section was contributed by Mark.
Hint:
Check Ghost Pokemon without the Silph Scope:
You can see the Pokemon
Ghosts in Pokemon Tower without the Silph Scope. When you are in battle
choose PKM menu as if you were going to change Pokemon. Instead, just check
the stats of any Pokemon in the party and go back to the battle. You will
see the Pokemon that is there. Note: It is impossible to catch them, but
it will be registered by your Pokedex.
Information
in this section was contributed by mosquita
and Joshua Levy.
Hint:
Two turn attacks:
When using a two turn
attack, use a sleep attack first. For example, if you have a Venasaur that
can use Solar Beam, use a sleep attack such as Sleep Powder to put the
other Pokemon to sleep. If it is still fast asleep, use the two turn attack.
If not, use the sleep attack again.
Information
in this section was contributed by DVader653.
Hint:
Link battle strategies:
When fighting a link
game against a friend, make sure you have some two turn moves. If they
use one of their moves, such as Fly, Dig, Solar Beam, Head Bash, use Fly
or Dig. This will avoid their attack. Then, hit them with your most damaging
attack. An excellent link move is Counter.
Information
in this section was contributed by chuck
kupsch.
Hint:
Using the link cable to build your starting team:
If you do not want to
lose any Pokemon you really like and want to restart a game, trade the
Pokemon from one game to another. To do this, go to a Pokemon Center and
trade. Trade the desired Pokemon for a bad Pokemon from the other game.
Repeat as many times as necessary, then restart your game. Get your Pokemon
back from the other Pokemon game. You can do this to construct an almost
invincible team.

Wilfred.
Pokemon
level variations:
Information
in this section was contributed by Ernest
G.
Wild Pokemon of the same level are weaker than the same kind of Pokemon of the same level that you raised yourself. You can also select the moves that the Pokemon you learned (and forgotten) at an earlier level while wild Pokemon come "as is" with whatever moves are selected by the CPU.
Having your Pokemon raised by the babysitter on Route 9 will cause the Pokemon to be weaker and have lower stats than it would be if you raised it through battles.
Using Rare Candy to raise your Pokemon will cause the Pokemon to be weaker and have lower stats than it would be if you raised it through battles.Hint: Name origins:
The first part of the name of the three mystical Pokemon birds, Arcticuno, Zapdos, and Moltres originate from arctic, zap, and mole. The last parts, uno, dos, and tres are Spanish for one, two, and three.

Getting Mew (Japanese version):
Collect all 150 Pokemon.
There is a man in Celadon city in the building where Eevee was found that
gives you a very special Pokemon. He is located by taking the path that
leads behind the buildings at the farthest north point of the city. There
will be a secret door in the building that is off set from the row. Climb
the stairs to find a group of people working on computers, when the building
is entered from the front. Talk to the man that is not working on a computer
to collect Mew. Note: In the North American version, you will receive a
diploma.

Go to Shion Town and change your Koiking's nickname to "Mew". Highlight the thirteenth tool on the tool screen and press Select(8). Attempt to change your Koiking's nickname again to any name. The monster will flash, but the name will remain the same. Mew will now be available.
Have at least fifteen
items and a water Pokemon at the top. Go to any grassy area and highlight
the thirteenth item and press Select. Get in any fight and run away,
and you should have Mew.
Information
in this section was contributed by Dkrboy.
Note: Pokemon Green and
a link cable is required for this trick. Get a Machamp on the Japanese
Green version of the game. Transfer it to a North American Red/Blue version
of the game, and it will appear as a Mew.

All
Pokemon (Japanese version):
Note: This code requires
two Game Boys, a link cable, and the red and blue versions of the game.
Begin game play and find your first monster. Locate the Charmanders field
and capture one of them. Link both Game Boys and rapidly and repeatedly
use the "Trade" option. All 150 monsters should now be available.
Raise
your Pokemon to level 100 (Japanese version):
Go to the seventh item
in "Tools" and press Select. Get into a fight, then press Select
on the attack you dislike to change it. Note: The monster must have all
four attack spaces filled. Win the fight. Your monster will become level
100 and will enter the next stage of its life, if available.
Glitch:
Longer life:
Find a Pokemon over level
100, and use rare candies until it reaches level 255. Store it in Bill's
PC, and take it out later. The game will show that it has gone down some
levels but has 999/437 life. It's life is now twice as long as normal.
Note: This may work better with Snorlax.
