          Game Boy Tips   
        Walk-through - FAQ's - Home -
        TM's & HM's
 POJO NOTE: 
          In an effort to continually provide top notch tips, our very own Deck
          Mechanic KittyFox has been doing a lot of work in finding out exactly
          how the combat system works in our favorite Red/Blue/Yellow Game Boy
          games!  Check out below for his first of hopefully many more
          excellent tips for all you PokeManiac's out there!   =) |  
 KittyFox Corner!
       
        Well, Don't know if you want to throw this up in the
          Game Boy section or not, but it appears that in the GameBoy game (Red/Blue/Yellow) if you are attacked with something that alters stats (Screech, Sand-Attack, etc), your pokemon's defense/accuracy lowers, but your attack goes up for the rest of the battle!  Note this is your attack that goes up, not special, so you would need to use Normal/Fighting/etc. attacks in order to notice that you are doing a little bit more damage than before.
 Seems there is a bit of a 'revenge' factor built into the game ;)
 Lots of Rare Candies!

 Switch Attack Order!
       
        I discovered a trick to arrange the order of your pokemon�s moves.
      First, select fight on the battle menu. Then, go to the attack you want to
      move & press select. Then, go to the position you want the attack to
      be in & press select again & voila! your attack has been moved! It
      may not sound very useful, but it�s pretty cool. If you have a pokemon
      that you are going to put in daycare for a while, put the weakest move at
      the top of the list so they won�t forget a good move! - Tammy Shumate
         Pay Day Solved!
       
        When you use Payday, and you win, the amount of money
          you pick up isequal to double your Pokemon's experience level.
 Reset Your Game!
       
        On pokemon red/yellow/blue you can push a,b,start,select all at the
      same time and the game will restart.  -  Cam
         Silph Scope Replacement?!?!
       
        When I got to lavender town I automatically went into the building where
      Mr. Fuji is being held.  I didn't have the silph scope at that
      time.  I didn't even know about it then.  So as I went through
      the building  all the ghosts I encountered I didn't have to
      fight because my pokemon were to scared and I couldn't identify the
      ghosts.  So as I got to the ghost of the marowaks mom I couldn't
      attack it!!!  So I used a pokedoll.  It let me out of battle,
      Marowaks moms spirit was at rest and I got to go to Mr. Fuji without a
      fight and without having to get the silph scope.SSJCyberGogeta@aol.com
 Surfing Pikachu Tips!
      
       
        I�ve been practicing the art of pikachu surfing and finally got a
      good high score of 5620. It�s pretty good, but I bet somebody out there
      may have a higher score. Here are some tips:
#1= Back flips are easier than front flips.#2= Identify the waves that give you the most trouble and learn how to
      get points out of them.
 #3= Practice landing until you can land safely from every wave.
 #4=
      Learn when to press back in your control pad. The best point is right
      before the middle of the wave. This gives you a high jump that lets you do
      a double flip.

 SATOSHI: Okay, I�m here with vital news about Missingno in Pokemon
      Yellow. I noticed Aaron�s plea for help in the Poke Yellow Tips section, so
      it�s SATOSHI to the rescue! No, people, you cannot get Missingno in
      Pokemon Yellow. It has been deleted. As for the safari zone pokemon trick,
      I don�t know. Prolly still exists, as Nintendo came out and admitted it
      exists in an issue of Nintendo Power. Who knows! One thing is still for
      sure, however.... MEW CANNOT BE AQUIRED IN ANY OF THE AMERICAN VERSIONS OF POKEMON!!! Even after my article in the Pokemon Red/Blue Tips section, people
      still believe that you can get the little guy without outside help! So, to
      prove most of the codes found online are fake, from now on I�ll be
      writing in with a GEM OF THE WEEK, or a fake code that I think is REALLY
      stupid.  Let�s check the POKETRON 2000 for this week�s
      GEM....

 ORBIT OF THE PLANET MARS
 TRANSMISSION BEGINS
 
 SATOSHI: Hey, everyone! I finally got the pokemon space station up into
      orbit and am now heading back to earth. Unfortunately, it seems that Aaron
      accidentally erased a past transmission, so I'll give ya the jist of
 it.(hope this is the one you meant!)  The code where you can get Mew
      by pushing the truck by the S.S. Anne
 out of the way is FALSE. <thinks for a moment> in fact, ALL the Mew
      codes are false! Here are the only two ways to get Mew, the 151st Pokemon.
 
 1-Gameshark or Game Genie
 Check the Pojo.com Gameshark codes section for the code, but be
 warned! I used it to get 'em, and it messed up my hall of fame! I've even
 heard it can erase pokemon after a while! Ohh...scary.... (= (
 
 2- Nintendo Video Game Tours
 Go to the Nintendo Video Game Tour and they, that is, Nintendo, will
 GIVE you Mew by uploading it into your cartriage FOR FREE!!! All you have
      to
 do is have only 5 pokemon with you, have delivered Oak's Parcel, and TaDa!
 Mew is yours!!
 
 That is IT. Those are the only ways to get Mew. Write to Nintendo Of
 America and see for yourself! I did, and they gave me a straight
      answer-no,
 you cannot catch Mew in the game.  Also, people, stop making up
      pokemon. The
 following is a list of fake pokemon and the reason I know they are
 fake/can't be caught in Red, Blue, or Yellow.
 
 Togepi- Not fake, but it is a gold/silver character.
 Pikablu- Slang for Marril, another gold/silver character.
 Dimonix- Puh-lease. Notice how the articles are written that concern this
 guy; "hi, I just wondered if you have heard of Dimonix..." Nu-uh.
      They sound
 like it's no big deal. A DEAD giveaway that it ain't true.
 Sandscratch- Oh, brother...these get dumber and dumber...someone obviously
 thinks we are dumb enough to believe that there is a GROUND stone.
      <chuckle,
 chuckle> Nice try.
 Mewthree- Let's see...hmm...Oh! I get it! Someone noticed the Mew, MewTWO
 pattern and decided to invent another one! HaHa , that's funny.
 ChronoMew- Mist stone? Yeah, Whatever. For those who don't know, You can
 supposedly evolve Mew into ChronoMew by using the imaginary Mist
 Stone...Please....
 
 SATOSHI: Well, that's all I can think of for now! C'ya later!

 OK, I know that there are many bogus tips out there,
 so let me straighten things up:
 Pikablue cannot be obtained in the red, blue, or
 yellow versions.
 
 There is no way to get Mew other than entering a
 contest and have one transferred into your game
 cartridge or use a Game Shark or Game Genie.
 
 There are only 151 Pokemon in the red, blue and yellow
 versions.  Only 150 of them can be caught. (151 if
 you're playing the Japanese versions of the game)
 
 No such thing as "Pokegods"
 
 No such thing as "HM06"
 
 MissingNo. can mess up your game so don't try it.
 
 Pokegod GameShark codes do not work.
 
 Thank you!

 Link Cable Tips!1. Listen carefully= I have memorized each pokemon's cry by heart! Just
 follow these instructions and you'll have a better chance of winning
      (note:
 these tips are for game link cable battles).
 2. Turn the sound of YOUR gameboy OFF. That way, you can listen to your
 opponent's pokemon (this lets you know when your opponent switches a
 pokemon, if your opponent switches, you will hear the new pokemon's cry).
 Also, I said that you may want to know each pokemon's cry by heart because
 that's what lets me identify my opponent's pokemon.
 3.look at your opponent's pokemon before the fight, this allows you think
 ahead and look at a pokemon in your team that can take out several of your
 opponent's pokemon (I am excellent at doing this, just ask those people
      who
 send me their teams, the pokemon that causes the most trouble is jolteon
      and
 that's why I use him in my team!)
 4.Send a pokemon that can recover it's lost hp (actually, choose this
 pokemon as your first pokemon). Also, try this with hypno or chansey,
      gengar
 might work, just please NEVER start with alakazam as he is likely to get
 KOed by strong normal moves.

 Poke-ClonesHey Pojo, this code has to work in all
      versions or else Nintendo would have
      to take out the trading option.  Take the Pokemon that you want
      to clone
      (probably rare) and get him on your team.   Have a friend
      get a run of the mill Pokemon (the first one they come across) and have them get that on
      their
      team.  Go to the trade area and start trading as usual.  Trade
      the rare
      Pokemon for the run of the mill Pokemon.  When the person with
      the rare
      Pokemon sees the screen "waiting", wait a second then turn your
      gameboy off.
 
      If you did it right, the other person should see the screen "Trade
      Complete".
      They will have to turn off their gameboy too because it will stay at that
      screen.  Then turn them back on and you should both have the
      rare Pokemon and
      the not so great one should be deleted.  (This code works well
      in the case of
      Eevee.  Clone four of them and get one of each stone.  Evolve
      three
      of them
      and keep the last one as Eevee.  He learns some pretty good
      moves just as
      himself.) Adam Roberts BrainB4135@aol.com
      
 Beating GYM Leaders
 
 Brock- Train a mankey to level 9 and low kick your way to victory.
 Misty- train your pikachu to level 18 or higher, I would use double
      team and
 some potions.
 Lt. Surge- Just catch a high level digglet (or get a sandslash and
      teach Dig
 to it)
 Erika- Wait until you can get to cinnabar island an catch a level
      34
 growlithe.  This should be easy wth growlithe.
 Koga- You may choose between a level 32 haunter or hypno (both
      pokemon
 should be at least level 32). If you chose haunter:Use hypnosis(I would
 teach dream eater to haunter or hypno). Then dream eater. If you chose
 hypno: don't evolve your drowzee until it has learned psychic. Your hypno
 should be able to take out the venonats in one or two hits. Against
 venomoth, use hypnosis and then psychic.
 Sabrina- If you have haunter, you are in trouble! On the other
      hand, if you
 chose hypno, you should win. Just headbutt sabrina's pokemon.Haunter will
 require a really high level (45 or higher).
 Blaine- This guy (or old man) can be tough if you don't have the
      right
 pokemon. Use any water pokemon (level 37 or higher). I recommend that you
 fught every trainer in the gym so your pokemon will get to level 37
      quickly.
 Giovanni- Just use your water pokemon with hypno or haunter for
      backup.
 
 Elite Four
 Lorelei- your pikachu should be at least level 54 if you want to get past
 dewgong.
 Bruno- This guy hasn't changed a lot.A water pokemopn should finish off
      his
 pokemon.
 Agatha- Same old pokemon. Use hypno or haunter.
 Lance- Same pokemon, use pikachu for gyarados and your water pokemon
      should
 know ice beam (you can use the tm you get from the thirsty girl in
      celadon).
 
 Your rival- If you never lost to him he will use:sandslash,
 alakazam,exeggutor,cloyster, ninetales and jolteon.
 Details
 If you can't beat the elite four, buy stuff until you don't have
      money.That
 way, if you lose, you don't lose money and you can keep fighting until
      your
 pokemon's levels get high enough to beat the elite four.
 Bruno's onixes will know dig and rockslide.
 Agatha's first gengear will know mega drain and substitute. Her second
 gengar willl know psychic (beware to haunter users).
 Lance's first dragonair will know thunderbolt and thunderwave (use a
      ground
 pokemon against this dragonair). His second dragonair will know bubblebeam.
 His aerodactyl will use fly and his dragonite will use fireblast.
 Final tip
 the unknown dungeon is a great training place for you pikachu because ther
 are lots of golbats.

 Someone said the only way to get some cash after beating
        all of the trainers is to use payday.  Well, there is a better way.  Go back and
        keep fighting the Elite Four.  It is the absolute best way to get money and
        experience points. - rcolvin@alltel.net
 Hey, I just  found out that rare candy does not give you as much powerups as
        when you actually gain a level. This is bad because people duplicate rare candy and 
        use it for a quick powerup. the result is weaker pokemon,trust me. - RCHOKESLAM@aol.com
 
 I have discovered that when you throw a pokeball when it says Ash
        threw a pokeball and the pokemon is inside hold B from then until the ball wobbles the 2nd
        time and it is an almost sure fire way to catch it.  - R. Craft. I use a combination  that allows me to be super effective
        against all Pokemon types except ghost but they count as poison Pokemon anyway so it
        doesn't matter. 1- Lapras (Ice and Water attacks)  effective against
        Fire, Ground, Rock,Grass, Flying and Dragon Pokemon; 2-Graveller (Ground and Rock attacks) effective
        against Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, Ice, Flying, Bug; 3- Moltres (Fire and
        Flying attacks) effective against Grass, Ice, Bug, Fighting; 4- Venusaur (Grass and
        Poison attacks) effective against Water, Ground, Rock, Grass, Bug; 5- Hitmonchan (Fighting
        attacks) effective against Normal, Ice, Rock 6 - Beedrill (Bug and Poison attacks) effective
        against Grass, Psychic, Bug.  - Paul.  The many follwing tips were sent in by budman04@yahoo.com 
 Celadon Slot TipAll 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.
 
 Fish in a Gym
 When you enter a gym go up to one of the statues and choose a rod to fish with.
        Usually you get good Pokemon.
 Catch Ditto EasilyItems found with the Itemfinderto catch a ditto easy put magikarp at the top of your list and let ditto transform
        into him and then switch pokemon you can also do this with a tentacool.
 Here are some really good items that I have found using the Itemfinder!
 *Full Restore in Victory Restore in Victory Road
        near the exit*PP Up on Route 17 on right side of cycling road
 *PP Up on Route 13
 *Max Ether on the small island while your are traveling to Victory Road
 *Nugget in Route 7 underground path
 *Full Restore, and X Special in route 5 underground path
 *Ether in Unknown Dungeon on first floor
 *Rare Candy in Cerulean City in the backyard of the house in the top left corner
        nearest to the Unknown Dungeon
 *Great Ball in trash can in the kitchen of The S.S. Anne
 Sleeping code!
      If you have a pokemon who has Rest or if you can get tm44, your pokemon can restore all
        his\her hit points (HP), in a span of 2 turns! Simply use Rest during battle (the pokemon
        will fall asleep), then during your next turn, play the Poke Flute (Obtained when you save
        Mr. Fuji from the tower in the Pokemon Tower) your pokemon will wake up ready to go!
 Legendary Birds
 Of all the legendary birds I've found Zapados is the easiest to capture (which isn't
        saying much!) sence it is possible to capture it when it has nothing wrong with its status
        (such as sleep or paralize) and it is possible to capture it when it's health bar is more
        then just a sliver. Once you have captured Zapados you can use it to quickly lower the
        health level of Articuno and Moltres (for these last two I needed to reduce their defence
        or make them go to sleep to even hit them with a pokeball).
 Moon Stones There are five Moon Stones, three of which
        are visible, two of which are not.
 1) In the upper-lefthand corner of the first floor of Mt. Moon.
 2) In the basement of the game corner.
 3) In the bottom-right corner of Route 2 (CUT).
 4) In Mt. Moon, before the supernerd's platform, there is a corridor 4 spaces long and 1
        space wide, go
 to the end of it and press A and poof! you have a Moon Stone.
 5) In the Pokemon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, go up to the right side of one of the
        pillars on the
 right-hand side near the entrance hit A and it will say you found a Moon Stone.
 Unlimited chances to catch rare PokemonSave before fighting. if it dies or you run
        away DON'T SAVE. Instead restart
 Master Ball Code
 First go into battle,and throw a poke ball, great ball, or ultra ball. as soon as the ball
        leaves your hand, press and hold B and up. then as the ball snaps shut press and hold A
        while still holding B and up.

        Note: You can get the stones in the Pok�mart at Celadon City. 
 Capturing Hard-To-Catch Pok�mon
 
 To Capture Mewtwo (without the Master Ball):
 Actually, Mewtwo is not very hard to catch without a master ball, but it will
        take practice. Mewtwo is only available once in the game, and you have to beat the Elite
        Four and Gary to be able to get to it. Mewtwo is in a cave to the Northeast of Cerulean
        City, You have to use Surf to get to the entrance. (There will be a man guarding the
        entrance if you haven't beaten the Elite Four). Search through the cave, capture the
        Pok�mon you see along the way (They're usually pretty good ones). You will have to go up
        some stairs and go in the water along the way. Mewtwo is on a tiny "island" in
        the cave. It actually isn't too hard to capture Mewtwo, just save the game right before
        you go up to him, and do Not save the game if you make Mewtwo faint or if you fail to
        capture him, just retry it. I used a fighting type pokemon on Mewtwo, and it worked... it
        will take a few tries, but if you try different attack combinations, you'll be able to
        capture him with one or two Ultra Balls.
 
 To Capture Zapdos (without the Master Ball): I personally had a lot harder time capturing Zapdos than I did capturing Mewtwo... It took
        me about 8 or so tries to capture Mewtwo, but, it took me about 25 tries to capture
        Zapdos! You can find Zapdos in the Power Plant, which is Northwest of Cerulean City.
        Zapdos is in the upper-most room to the left in the Power Plant... he's hard to miss (and
        hard to catch). Once you find him, you will need to develop a strategy of attacks
        (example: one fairly big attack first, then really small ones to get the life down to a
        few little points OR 2 normal attacks and then several smaller attacks, etc..). It's
        almost guaranteed that he'll pop out of your Ultra Balls the first couple of times (or my
        first 20 or so times!). But, remember: Do NOT do your best attacks with your best
        Pok�mon, that will make him faint. Also, if (or when) you don't succeed, DO NOT save the
        game. Keep trying until you catch him, 'cause, you "gotta catch em' all".
 (PoJo Note: We had no trouble capturing Zapdos with a Great Ball by putting him
        to sleep first)
 To Capture Moltres (without the Master Ball):
 Moltres... The annoying little bird that takes practice to catch and is easy to
        kill. Moltres is found in the Pokemon League Cave... You'll have to move some boulders on
        some buttons, and go up and down some stairs to find it. Moltres is in the centerish part
        of a certain level of the cave, and right below it is a bridge-type thing that a girl
        Pok�mon Trainer stands at. Once you find Moltres, you'll need to once again develop a
        certain strategy to catch it. He's actually easier to catch than Zapdos, but, it takes
        more strategy to find out what can hit it and Not kill it, and to avoid his attacks,
        especially Fire Spin. Also once again, if you do not catch it, do not save the game. Keep
        on trying until you catch Moltres, and it may take a while...
 
 To Capture Articuno (without the Master Ball):
 You can find Articuno in the cave at Seafoam Islands. To get to the cave, go south of the
        Pok�Center in Fuchsia City, and you'll see a shore with to guys standing around near the
        water. Use the Surf Ability to swim Southwest of that shore, keep swimming and you'lll
        eventually run into Seafoam Islands. Go into the cave, and search for
        Articuno, it'll be
        on a little piece of land that you'll need to swim to in the cave. To get to that part of
        the cave though, you'll have to push 2 boulders into the water, using the little
        stairs/holes, and the boulders will "warp" into the water. After you push 2
        boulders into the water, swim in the previously uncharted water, and you'll find
        Articuno.
        Articuno is a water/flying type Pok�mon, so it's best to use an Electric or Fire-type
        Pok�mon against it. Keep trying to catch it until you do, it can take a few tries.
 
 How to Capture Any Pok�mon with the Master Ball:
 I know this sounds really easy, and it is, but, some people just don't get it... anyway,
        for those of you who don't know how to use the Master Ball, just throw it at a
        Pok�mon!
        That's it, then you automatically catch it. You'd be surprised about how many people don't
        know how to use the Master Ball... sorry, but, I have to say this: "DUH!" Also,
        it's best to use your Master Ball on Mewtwo or another rare Pok�mon, like the legendary
        birds, so you don't have to go through the trouble capturing them with an Ultra Ball....
 
 
 Catch any Pok�mon with full life with Pok�ball
 Yes, this trick does work. It does, however, take a few tries to get it right. Anyway, to
        catch Pok�mon with full life with a Pok�ball (or Greatball or Ultra Ball), all you do is
        right when your character throws the ball, you need to press and hold UP and B. Hold it
        until the Pok�mon is fully caught. This trick might take a few tries to get the timing
        right, but it pays off. I caught: Dodrio, Hypno, Kadabra, Ditto,
        Raticate, and others at
        full life just by using a Pok�ball with this trick. Note: Safari Balls will NOT work with
        this trick.
