Best way to catch Mewtwo if you don't have a Masterball
Sent in by Master Kristin
Forget about trying to put him to sleep. Mewtwo might still have a
chance to wake up. The only sure fire way to catch him is to freeze
him solid. To do that you take any Pokemon that knows "Blizzard."
Note it may not work the first time, it may be the second or third
time. It works well, take it from someone who has caught two
Mewtwo's this way. Once Mewtwo is frozen there is no way that he'll
unfreeze. Short when you take him to the poke-center. (Use a Pokemon
like Articuno - I caught both using the same Pokemon. my Aritcuno "IceBeam.")
Skip The Game Corner
Sent in by J. Sutton
Game Coner blues getting you down? Can't quite get through and beat
Giovanni? Here is a tip that will solve all your problems. First, once
you've gotten to Lavender town, got left and take the path to Celedon
City. Enter the department store, and buy a poke doll. Then go back to
Lavender Town, and enter the Pokemon tower. Beat your rival, and all
the channellers in your way, and go to the place where the big ghost stops
you from proceeding. Once you're in the battle with him, use the poke doll,
and the ghost will disappear, leaving you to pass without having to get
the Silph Scope. This tip can help you get farther into the game faster
than you normally could.
Silph Co. Tower walkthrough
Sent in by Victreebel
The Silph Co. Tower can be very confusing, and down right frustrating after
a while. Here's a little help... First, take the elevator to the fifth floor.
Go to the left and there should be a scientist and, below him, a tunnel
going south. Go down it, fight the Team Rocket guy, then go to the right
and pick up the Card Key. Now, go into the elevator and go to the third
floor. Go down the hall that goes south. There should be a Team Rocket
guy, and to the left of him a locked door. Open the door with the Card Key,
and step into the transporter (diamond-shaped floor tile thingie) You will
be in a room where you have to fight your rival. Careful, he's tough! After
beating him, talk to the other guy to get a Lapras, then instead of going
into the next transporter go back the way you came and go to the ninth
floor. Go down the hall to the left and unlock the door on the left. Talk
to the lady in this room and all your Pokemon will be healed. Then
go back to the third floor and go through the transporter again, then go
through the other transporter in the room where your rival was. Go
down, fight the last Team Rocket guy, unlock the door, and go into the room
to fight Giovanni (The boss of Team Rocket). He has Ground Pokemon, so
use Grass or Water types on him. After beating him, talk to the company
president to get the Master Ball! You can go anywhere in Saffron City
now, including Sabrina's gym.
Daycare tip
"Sent in" by Jesse Smith
The number of experience points a Pokemon goes up in the Daycare
is based on the number of steps you take from the time you leave a
Pokemon to the time you pick it up. If you want to speed it up, just
ride around using the Bike. Even if the Pokemon doesn't go up a level,
you still have to pay $100.
Easy money
"Sent in" by Jesse Smith
Every time you fight the Eliet Four and Gary, you get a total of
around $30,000. Just beat the game over and over and you can build up
money very quickly. A easy way to do it is to get Mewtwo. Using
Psychic, when fighting the Elite Four, he can knock out almost any
Pokemon in one hit. Also, each time you use TM 16, Pay Day, on one
of the Eliet Four Pokemon you get $110. For example, if you use it
seven times, you get an extra $770.
Easy way to catch Mewtwo
Sent in by John
If you don't have a Master ball, try this. First get a pokemon that can
put a pokemon to sleep such as Haunter's hypnosis. Then throw a ultra
ball at him. Get two just to be safe and you should be able to catch him.

Sent in by Xenomorph
First go to the man in Veridian city that shows you how to catch a
Weedle. Watch him and then arrange your list so that your master ball
is the sixth item on your list. then Fly to Fuisha and surf to Seafoam
Island. Don't get of the Pokemon. Surf so you are half on land and half
on water. Keep surfing until you encounter Missingno (a glitch). Run or
battle it but don't catch it. Once you beat it or run, Check your inventory
and you will have 99 master balls.
Win at the game corner
Sent in by Miles Smith
At the game corner, to have a sure chance of winning, go find the guy
who says "wins seem to come and go." Under him is a machine that is
out of order. Play the machine under this one and you will win a few times.
Get over 300 coins in the game corner
Sent in by Miles Smith
In the game corner you can get over 300 coins by searching every where
on the ground. When you come through the door go up to where the Rocket
guard is standing in front of the poster. There are some machines lined
up near him. If you search in front of here (by pressing A) you will find
100 coins on the ground. In other places you can find anywhere from 5 to
20 coins on the ground.
Easy way to catch Abra
Sent in by Pokeman
Here is an easy way to catch Abra. First get a pokemon that knows wrap.
Then look for Abra in the grass by Nugget Bridge. Use wrap so Abra can't
move. Get his power low, and throw a pokeball.
Easy way to catch any Pokemon almost every time
Sent in by PikaPikaPikachu
Easy way to catch any Pokemon almost every time. Just use a Poke
Ball and as soon as it says "(your name) used Poke Ball" hold B and
Up. Keep holding until the pokemon is wobbling inside the ball, after
the second wobble, let go. If your timing's good the Pokemon will be
caught no matter how healthy it was! This works on any Pokemon.

Skip Brock
Sent in by Keith Parcell
To skip Brock, do this. Press start to get the menu. Put the arrow on
Save. Press B. In Pewter City go to the guy who takes you to the door
of the gym. Try to get the menu up just before you start walking. If you
can press save and then turn off the game. Turn the game back on and
then the guy will take you to the gym again accept this time instead of
being just in front of you he will be a few steps diagonally from you. He
will end up on top of the girl who talks about Clefairys. After he leaves
you will probably find out he's not where he usually is so go through the
place where he was and continue on to Mount Moon. This code doesn't
always work!

Rare pokemon tip
If you encounter a rarer pokemon in the safari zone, such as Tarus or
Kangaskhan, do not throw a rock or bait or it will run.
Hidden rare candy
In Cerulean, go to the man's house that tells you about the different badges.
In his backyard, use your itemfinder; there is a rare candy.

On cycling road use the itemfinder to find hidden items.
How to get Weedle in the blue version
Sent in by Weedle
Here's how to get Weedle in the blue version. Just go to Veridian Forest
and fight the FIRST bug catcher and run around without fighting the others
and you should find one.
How do you duplicate all of the items?
Sent in by Pokemaster
The first thing that you need to do is to put the item that you want
duplicated in the 6th slot on your item menu (by pressing Select,
then moving). Then go to the man in Viridian City that shows you how to
catch a Weedle. Let him show you how to catch it. Then, fly down to
Cinnabar Island. From there, surf on the left side of the coast by going
up and down (you should look like you are surfing half on land). You
should encounter a MissingNo, or a Mysterio. Run away from it then check
your item, and you got a weird symbol followed by a 9 or other number.
This is like 115 "items". If it doesn't work the first time, try it again.
How do you catch a Kangaskhan?
Sent in by John Carmack
You need to get to what we all know and love as the Safari Zone. Here,
you can catch all sorts of nifty rare Pokemon that can be found no where
else! One of these is the elusive Kangaskhan-#115. This Pokemon can be
found on both the Red and Blue paks, so don't be discouraged if you don't
catch it at first. To get to the Safari Zone, you first need to be able to
get to Fuschia City. The easiest way to get here is to go through Routes
21, 20, and 19 from Pallet to Fuschia. You will need a SURFing Pokemon
to effectively perform this feat. Once in Fuschia City, go to the North
as far as you can. You will need a CUTting Pokemon for this one. Cut the
bush that is blocking your path, and then head north once again. You will
see a building surrounded on all sides by trees. Enter this building. As
you try to walk on through, a guy will stop you asking you for money so
you can play the Safari game. Say yes, if you really want a Kangaskhan,
and head on in. Immediately head north until you hit a fence, then head
east until you come to a wall of trees. If a wild Pokemon attacks you
while you are walking there, just run away. You will want to safe your
Safari Balls for the Kangaskhan. Head north again. When you see an opening
to another screen, go through it. From here, head east until you are walking
in a grassy area, where Pokemon live. Begin walking around and eventually
you will be attacked by something. If it is not a Kangaskhan, then run away.
If it is, then start chucking Safari Balls at it. It will eventually either
be caught or run away, if it runs away, just walk around some more. If you
run out of time before you catch one, just head back to the same place and
try again.
How to get Dratini
Sent in by Richard
If you are having trouble finding (or winning) Dratini, go fishing in the Safari
zone in Area I. And if you do hook it, just throw Safari Balls at it. This also
works with other Safari Zone Pokemon.
Hint on trading pokemon
Sent in by Justin Shen
Before trading pokemon, make one game have a junky pokemon and the other
have a pokemon you want to duplicate. Then go to trade center and trade the
junky one and the good one. Then at the end of the trade after "waiting" and
before "trade complete," turn the game that use to have the good pokemon off.
The other game will say trade complete. Then turn the other game off, then
turn both back on. Both games should have the good pokemon and the junky
pokemon should be gone.
Tip on beating the gyms
Sent in by Jonathan Ellinger
Heres a tip for beating the gyms easily, first before you go to the first
gym, do a lot of fighting with the wild Pokemon get to level 10, then
fight every trainer on your way to the second gym, after you defeat
Misty, go to the cruise ship, get your beginning Pokemon up to level 36,
by defeating all trainers on the ship.
Tip on fighting Lt. Surge
Sent in by Jimbo

Increase the accuracy of any type of poke-ball
Sent in by Pokeball
To increase the accuracy of any type of poke-ball hit down and B when
the ball leaves your hand.
Tip on raising levels
Sent in by Maxis Reed
Raising the levels of Pokemon is easy if you know this trick. When you
get to Varidian City (the next city after Pallet town) buy a few poke'
balls and then go out through the mountain path to that grassy area.
Let your poke'mon fight and raise his levels. Capture any pokemon you
want and raise their levels too. If you get hurt just go back to the town
and go in the poke center. You'll get healed, and you'll have raised the
levels. This works very well until the pokemon get to level 10 then
try the next method.
Tip on raising levels for low level pokemon
Sent in by Maxis Reed
After you have raised levels to about 10 and have gotten better pokemon
and gone though the game a bit, try this. If you want to raise a low
level pokemon quickly and also get ahead in the game, put the low
level poke'mon first in line. Then when the first enemy comes out,
you can switch pokemon to a stronger poke'mon and get hurt a little
then kill the enemy. You'll have gotten as many points for that one
pokemon switching out, as you did for the stronger one who beat it. If
there is multiple enemies in a fight, you can switch pokemon after you
defeat one and another is coming with out getting damaged. Then repeat
the switch to get more experience with little cost.

the other side and there will be a house straight to your left. Then go
inside the house and talk to the girl. Then she will give you HM02.
Turn an original pokeball into the master ball
Sent in by Monty
You can turn an original pokeball into the all powerful master ball
by following this steps: Get into a battle (not a trainer battle), make
sure you have a good supply of pokeballs, throw a pokeball, as soon
as it says: "blank" used poke ball, hold the up button on the directional
pad and B button. When the pokemon is wobbling inside the ball, wait
until the second wobble then release the buttons. If you did it correctly,
the pokemon will be caught at any level or strength!! Odds in this
happening: 4 out of 5 times. NOTE: This only works with a regular pokeball!
You can use great balls or ultra balls but the odds are very slim.
Approx. 2 out of 5 times.
Ways to evolve Pokemon
Sent in by Condor2000
There are three ways for pokemon to evolve:
1. Level - Most pokemon evolve when they reach a certain experience
level. For example, Caterpie will evolve into Metapod, and then to Butterfree.
2. Item - Other pokemon only evolve when a special stone is used on
them. When a Thunder Stone is used on Pikachu, it evolves into Raichu.
Fire, Water, Thunder, and Leaf Stones can be bought for 2100 at the
Celadon Dept. Store 4F. Moon stones are much rarer and evolve
special pokemon (Clefairy, Jigglypuff).
3. Trade - Four pokemon only evolve when they are traded. These
pokemon are:
Kadabra ------ Alakazam
Graveler ----- Golem
Haunter ------ Gengar
Machoke ------ Machamp
Many evolved forms of pokemon and some rare pokemon can be found in
the cave outside of Cerulean City. You can go there after becoming
Pokemon League Champion. These pokemon are:
Hypno, Sandslash (blue), Arbok (red), Ditto, Chancey, Raichu (blue),
Electabuzz (red), Electrode, Golbat, Venomoth, kadabra, Rhydon,
Dodrio, Wigglytuff, Seaking, Seadra, Slowbro, and Kingler. There
might be more, but I forgot.
Trading Pokemon warning
Sent in by CapitalPoke
You may think that if you got gamelink cable that you'll be able to trade
your pokemon with a friend and then trade them back so that you're
pokemon will gain boosted experience. Think again. Your pokemon game
pak will be able to recognize pokemon that were originally caught on your
pak, no matter how pak the pokemon have been traded though.

2 Linkable Game Boy systems
2 Pokemon games, any colors
1 Game Link Cable
What you will do is use one Game Boy as Pokemon storage and the other
Game Boy will be used for capturing Pokemon.
1. Start a new game with Game Boy A.
2. Go to Prof. Oak's lab and get Squirtle.
3. Go to nearest Pokemon Center and trade Squirtle to Game Boy B.
4. Start a new game with Game Boy A.
5. Repeat 2 through 4.
6. Go to Prof. Oak's lab and get Charmander.
7. Go to nearest Pokemon Center and trade Charmander to Game Boy B.

12. Start a new game with Game Boy A.
13. Repeat 10.
14. There should be 2 Squirtles and 2 Charmanders on Game Boy B,
so now trade one of each back to Game Boy A.
What to do with useless Pokemon
Sent in by Rilo1
If you get a Pokemon that's completely useless when you first get it
(like Kakuna, Magikarp, or Metapod), go to Cerulean City and go south
to get to a guard station and a day care center. Leave one of the
Pokemon there until it has gained a lot of levels or until it evolves.
It will cost you money depending on how much experience the Pokemon
gets while in the day care, but it's worth it to be able to actually hurt
something with one of those useless Pokemon.
Eevee tip in Celedon City
Sent in by Rilo1
In Celedon City, go behind the mansion and find the secret door. Once
you're inside, go up the stairs and get the PokeBall on the table. Inside
the PokeBall is an Eevee, which can be evolved into any of three types
of Pokemon depending on which stone you use on it. A thunder stone
will give you a Jolteon, a fire stone will give you a Flareon, and a water
stone will give you a Vaporeon.
Struggle move
Sent in by Yutz
When a pokemon has run out of pp's for all of it's moves, It will then use
a move called "struggle". It's a move similar to "take-down" or
"double-edge" only weaker.

Metapod and Kakuna tip
Sent in by David Lee Moreno
If you want a Metapod, or a Kakuna, that can attack, first you must
capture a Caterpie, or Wwwdle, before level 7 (level 7 is when they
evolve into Metapod/Kakuna) *Note: In doing this, you do not get Harden.
Yet another note: They will only stay in Kakuna/Metapod for three levels,
after that you get Butterfree/Beedril.
Moltres tip
Sent in by Ktnablade
Moltres is in the victory road cave on the third level from the entrance
(bottom I think) and Mewtwo is in the cave outside of Cerulean that
only Pokemon champs can enter. For catching him, weaken him and then
put him to sleep this is the best way to catch him if you do not have
the master ball.
Battle pokemon from the Safari Zone
Sent in by Kirk Davis
If you want to battle pokemon from the Safari Zone, first go to the
Safari Zone and pick the area with the rare pokemon you would like to
catch. Wait for time to run out. Exit the building and fly to Cinnabar
Island. DON'T battle any other pokemon. 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 pokemon from the Safari Zone.
Where to get Mewtwo
Sent in by Kirk Davis
To find the ominous "Mewtwo", go to Cerulean City and travel up the
bridge toward Bill's. When you reach the end of the bridge, go to the
left and us the surf ability. Follow the river until you reach a cave.
This is the unknown dungeon, (like it says in the map in the instructions).
Now, travel through it to find Mewtwo. He's at level 70!!! You get one chance.

keeps saying use the master ball, use the master ball. I know how to get
him quick and dirty. I recalled Lance saying "Dragons are practically
indestructible" all you need to catch Mewtwo is 3 Ultra ball and DRAGONAIR
or DRAGONITE. DRATINIs are to weak (unless you stop evolution). Just
Hyper beam'em and ball. Now a list of HM's:

HM02: FLY
HM03: STRENGTH

Sent in by FearKitty
Articuno: He is in the seafoam caves. To reach him you have to push
to rocks into those black squares. they will fall into water and

to reach the island with the bird on it. That's articuno. Make sure you
have ultra balls with you, you have only one chance to catch this
Pokemon. Articuno is an ice Pokemon
Zapdos: He is in the Power Plant under Rock cave. Use the surf ability
to reach it. Go into the river and just follow the only path. search
around the power plant. It's like the others, a bird. You have only one
chance, so be careful. Zapdos is an electric type Pokemon
For other rare Pokemon, try the safari game in fuschia city. To catch
them, first throw bait, then a rock, and finally the safari ball. The
hardest to catch ones are the weaker ones, because they always run

How to get into Saffron City
Sent in by Edward Matthews

the Vending Machine on the roof.
Element stones tip
Sent in by The Unknown Gamer
Use the element stones that you can buy in the Celadon department
store to make certain Pokemon evolve. eg: use the thunder
stone on Pikachu to turn him into Raichu. When you use a stone it
will tell you on the screen with which Pokemon you are
carrying whether it is able to be used with each one or not. Moon
stones also help evolve certain Pokemon (Jigglypuff, Clefairy,
Nidorino, Nidorina, etc...) also, the element stones coincide with the
type you want to evolve (water stone with water type, leaf stone
with grass type etc...).
Fighting the the Elite 4
Sent in by Pokemaniac
When you beat all 8 trainers you can battle the elite 4. First you go
through the most complex tunnel. When your finally out you enter a
pokemon center and mart. Buy lots of revives and heals, you'll need
it! You battle Lorelei, the first of the elite 4. She uses ice pokemon.
Next you battle Bruno. He uses rock and ground pokemon. After him
you battle Agatha. She has ghost pokemon. And the last of the elite
4 is Lance, who has dragon pokemon. So everyone thinks this is the
end, not quite. You still have to battle your rival for the last time.
If you beat him, Prof. Oak comes up and congratulates you, then
punishes your rival for not thinking right. He also starts saying stuff
about how you have a special bond with your pokemon, that's what
made them battle good, blah blah blah. He then enters you in the hall
of fame. All of the pokemon you had for battle (the 6 you carry around)
will be featured, and you yourself will also be put on the hall of fame.
Prof. Oak now rates your pokedex. After that the credits roll. If you
continue the game, you will start in pallet town, not the last place you
saved. Also, if you go to the elite 4, they will want to battle again.

is stronger than yours (If you pick charmander, he'll get squirtle, if
you pick bulbasaur, he'll get charmander, and if you pick squirtle
he'll pick bulbasaur) Over time he aquires Pidgey, Abra, Gyrados,
Rattata, and Growlith. His Pidgey will evolve into Pigdeotto and
then Pidgeot, and his Abra will evolve into Kababra and then
Alakazam, and his Rattata will evolve into a Raticate. Whatever
his first pokemon was will also evolve. It is possible to defeat
him in the first battle at Oak's lab. Get the potion from your PC (the

stronger than any of the Gym Leaders, so don't underestimate him!
Electric type pokemon location
Sent in by Pokemaniac
If you are looking for electric type pokemon, don't sweat it. Go to the
entrance of rock tunnel (by Cerulean city) and use the surf ability at
the river nearby. just follow the only path, that will take you to an
old power plant. You will find Many Voltorbs, Medium Pikachu's,
Medium Magnemite, Few Raichu's and very Few Electrodes.
Note: Electrodes will always use self-destruct, it's easier to trade a
Raichu for an Electrode at the Cinabar Islands.
Fire Pokemon location
Sent in by Pokemaniac
Fire Pokemon are at home in the Cinabar Islands. Just go into the top
left building, and you will be attacked by Ponytas, Vulpix (blue version),

Lot's o' Water Pokemon location
Sent in by Pokemaniac
Lot's o' Water Pokemon in the Cinabar Island Caves! Swim out from
Fuchsia City with Surf, and go to the first land (other than platforms)
you come across. There should be a cave entrance. Before you enter,
make sure you have escape ropes, it's a maze in there!
Safari Park tip
Sent in by Pokemaniac
Safari Park is home to the rarest of all pokemon! Here you will find
Eggsegcute, Rhihorn, Kangaskahn, Nidorans (m and f) Doduo, Poliwags,
and lots more. It's a bit harder to catch them though. First, throw
bait, then throw a rock. If the Pokemon doesn't run away, throw a
safari ball. Note: this does not always work. Don't worry about wasting
safari balls, That's just about impossible with the limited time you have.
Traded and Released Pokemon tip
Sent in by Pokemaniac
Here's a cool cheat: Traded or Released Pokemon still count as yours
in the Pokedex! If you traded spearow, the pokedex will still have all
the info on spearow, so don't worry about recatching one. This will
also work with game link cables! Trade the Pokemon with your
friend, get the info, and then trade back!
When your first pokemon evolve
Sent in by Pokemaniac
When will your first pokemon evolve? They usually evolve into
Ivysaur, Wartortle, or Charmeleon at about level 16. The next time
they evolve will be at around Level 36. They only evolve that much.
After that it's just new moves
Chart that compares types of Pokemon
Sent in by Pikachu
This is a chart which compares types of Pokemon.
1= Great 2= Good 3= Fair 4= Poor
To compare Pokemon, look on the left side for the type that goes with
your Pokemon, and your opponent will be on the right. From your
opponent's type trace a line down and on your type, trace a line to
the right. Where the two lines meet, that's how your Pokemon will do
against an opponent Pokemon.

Safari Game and steps
Sent in by Pikachu
There isn't really time in the Safari Game. Instead it's the number of
steps you take. If you stand still time won't run, just like if one of
your Pokemon is poisoned, it won't lose HP if you stand still. Just
make sure you step along the right path and if you use this tip, you'll
get to the end easily. It's easier if you use a bike.
Location of the Poke'flute
Sent in by Eric Farr
Whenever you get to the game corner, go to the bottom floor and there
is a guy in the back. He is guarding a top secret room, get him to
move and you can find theSilph scope witch allows you to identify
ghost type poke'mon. then go to the poke'mon tower. The ghost making
all the trouble is wating for you on the 7th floor. On the same floor
Mr. Fuji is there and if you save him from the ghost he will give you
a Poke'flute. The Poke'flute can be used to awaken sleeping poke'mon,
this is especially useful at route 11. This instrument works in and
out of battle.
