By using a sub glitch of the instant pomeg glitch, I was able to recreate the Mail glitch from Ja Ruby and Sapphire. How to perform: First you need to have a party containing the Instant Pomeg glitch Pokemon (0x29C0 for emerald US) in the first slot, a dummy Pokemon that will be sacrificed, and a third Pokemon to give some mail.

Pokemon Home launched today and as a result, you can now use the app to transfer Pokemon between games. We've got a complete Pokemon Home transfer guide so you can learn how to bring your pocket monsters across from other games and use them in titles like Pokemon Sword and Shield, and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. Here's everything you need to know about Pokemon Home transfers and trades.

How to transfer Pokemon from every generation through to Pokemon Home

Below, we have a guide on how to bring forward Pokemon from every single generation to Pokemon Home and as a result, Pokemon Sword and Shield. Make sure you read everything thoroughly because some parts require either a premium Pokemon Home or Pokemon Bank subscription – which are separate entities – and some of the older games aren't compatible. Good luck, because the process isn't simple!

First up, let's get Pokemon Go out of the way. Unfortunately – at the time of writing – you cannot transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon Home, but you will be able to later down the line. The Pokemon Company hasn't provided an ETA for when Pokemon Go compatibility will be available but it has confirmed it is working on it and is part of the overall plan for Pokemon Home. Sorry, Pokemon Go players! You'll have to wait a little longer.

Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal Virtual Console

Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow (Gen 1) plus Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (Gen 2)

Starting right from the beginning with Gen 1 (Pokemon Red, Blue, Green), Pokemon captured in any of these games can be transferred forward a generation to Gen 2 (Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal). Unfortunately, this can only be done with the Virtual Console versions of these games on Nintendo 3DS. Pokemon on these games on the Game Boy versions can only be traded with each other, and not onto Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and onwards.

Boot up the game via Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS and make sure that all of your Pokemon that you want to transfer are in Box 1 of your PC, with no other Pokemon in that box.

Now you need to open up both Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter – if you don't have them both already then you can download them from the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Make sure you have an active subscription to Pokemon Bank otherwise this whole process won't be possible.

Open Poke Transporter, choose the Pokemon game you want to transfer from, then select Box 1 with all the Pokemon inside that you want to transfer. This will transfer the Pokemon from that game to Pokemon Bank via Poke Transporter. Scroll on down to the section about transferring Pokemon from Pokemon Bank to Pokemon Home to find out how to get them out of Bank.

Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Fire Red/Leaf Green

Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald (Gen 3) plus Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green (Gen 1 remakes)

In order to transfer Pokemon from the Gen 3 games (Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald) and the Gen 1 remakes (Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green), you need to own a Nintendo DS with a Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridge slot. These Pokemon will also go to Pokemon Home via one of the Gen 4 games (Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum) or one of the Gen 2 remakes (Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver), so you need one of those Nintendo DS games too.

In-game requirements

If you're trading to Pokemon Diamond or Pearl, you need to ensure you've seen every Pokemon in the Sinnoh Pokedex (150 excluding Manaphy), then spoken to Professor Rowan in Sandgem Town to obtain the National Pokedex.

In Pokemon Platinum, you just need to obtain the standard Pokedex from Professor Rowan in Sandgem Town and ensure you have at least two Pokemon in your party.

For Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, defeat the Elite Four and enter the Hall of Fame, then attempt to board the S.S. Aqua to receive the National Pokedex.

How to trade

Before you trade any Pokemon on from the GBA games, be aware that this is a one-way trade. This means you cannot trade Pokemon back to these games, so make sure you're prepared to not see any of the Pokemon you trade in the GBA games again.

Mauville Game Corner

To begin the trade, insert both the GBA game and DS game of your choice into the console. Boot up the DS game and select the 'Migrate from [GBA game name]' option in the menu. Say 'Yes' to the option to migrate, then select six Pokemon to transfer.

Load up your save game in the DS game then head to the Pal Park. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the Pal Park location can be found on Route 221. In Heart Gold and Soul Silver, you need to go to Fuschia City. One tip before heading to the Pal Park however is to bring a Pokemon that knows Surf, since some areas are inaccessible without it.

Participate in a Catching Show and you'll be given six Park Balls. These are only usable in the Pal Park but catch a Pokemon every time without fail. Explore the tall grass and the six Pokemon you've transferred from the GBA games will eventually appear, and you can catch them all, at which point you'll be asked if you want to store them in a box.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/Heart Gold/Soul Silver

Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum (Gen 4), plus Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver (Gen 2 remakes)

Now you've got the Pokemon you want to trade up to Pokemon Home on one of the Gen 4 games or the Gen 2 remakes, it's time to get them onto Pokemon Black, Black 2, White, or White 2 (Gen 5). Once again, this is a one-way transfer so you can't transfer them back once they've been brought forward.

In order to do this trade, you need to have two Nintendo DS consoles. One console needs to have the Gen 4 game inserted, while the other needs the Gen 5 game.

In-game requirements

In any of the four Gen 5 games, you need to ensure you've beaten the Elite Four and entered the Hall of Fame. Then head to the Poke Transfer Lab on Route 15. Talk to the scientist at the top of the lab.

How to trade

Once you've done that, select the option to use another Nintendo DS then select DS Wireless Communications. Turn on the other console and select DS Download Play. Select the game with the same ID number as your Gen 5 game in the first console, then select Yes. Pick the six Pokemon you wish to transfer across then you'll be introduced to a minigame.

To complete the minigame, simply drag the stylus around the touch screen to pull the Poke Ball back as if you were throwing it, and pay attention to the top of the screen to see where the ball will end up. Release the stylus from the screen to throw the ball and if there's any Pokemon hiding in a bush, use a ball to nudge them out of it. When a pink cloud appears towards the end of the game, hit it with a ball to cause al the remaining Pokemon to fall asleep. When the minigame finishes, make sure you select 'Yes' to transfer them on to the Gen 5 game, otherwise they'll go back to whichever game they came from. From there, the Pokemon will be sent to your PC on Black, Black 2, White, or White 2.

Pokemon Black/Black 2/White/White 2/X/Y/Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire/Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon

Pokemon Black, White, Black 2, White 2 (Gen 5), Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire (Gen 6), Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon (Gen 7)

Thankfully, when you've got your Pokemon onto any of the games above, the process becomes much simpler thanks to the use of Pokemon Bank. Much like earlier with the first two generations of Pokemon games on the Virtual Console, you need a Pokemon Bank subscription to make this work. Make sure you have it downloaded and purchased, then open and sign in to the app. Select the appropriate game from the list above and your boxes from that game will be displayed on the touch screen.

Above that on the upper screen is where you'll see your Pokemon Bank boxes and you can use the controls to move the respective Pokemon over. When you're done transferring all the Pokemon you want in Pokemon Home, simply save and exit.

Pokemon Bank

Now you've brought your Pokemon from any game of your choice all the way to Pokemon Bank, but how do you get them from there onto Pokemon Home (and into Pokemon Sword and Shield)?

Boot up Pokemon Bank and on the main menu should be the fairly self-explanatory option 'move Pokemon to Pokemon Home'. Now you need to get yourself a Moving Key, which is where you'll need to use Pokemon Home on the Nintendo Switch.

On the main menu, select the 3DS icon underneath the Pokedex option. Make sure you have a premium Pokemon Home subscription, then select Begin Move. This will display a Moving Key which expires in three minutes, so type it into Pokemon Bank on your Nintendo 3DS quick time. When you type it in and hit enter, the transfer will commence and Pokemon Home will become unusable for the duration. When it's done, you can choose whether to bring across all the boxes, or individual Pokemon from each box.

Pokemon Sword/Shield/Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee

Pokemon Sword, Shield (Gen 8), Let's Go Pikachu, and Let's Go Eevee

Since Pokemon Sword and Shield, and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee are on the Nintendo Switch, the process for transferring Pokemon from those games to Pokemon Home is considerably easier. Be wary that while Pokemon from Let's Go can be moved to Sword and Shield, they can't then be transferred back to Let's Go; only Sword and Shield have the ability to transfer to and fro.

On Pokemon Home – as long as you're using it on the same Nintendo Switch console as your Pokemon Sword and Shield or Pokemon Let's Go save files – select Pokemon from the main menu. This will display your relevant save files, and selecting either one will show your Pokemon Home boxes on the left along with your in-game boxes on the right. Drag and drop any Pokemon you like from one to the other, then hit + to save. Any Pokemon that aren't currently in the Pokemon Sword and Shield Pokedex cannot be brought forward into it though.

That's all there is to it! A seriously convoluted process if you want to bring forward some of your oldest Pokemon, but worth it to have your best pals with you in the latest games. Hopefully, when Gen 9 eventually rolls around, Nintendo will stick with the Pokemon Home service to keep things simple!

Strategy GuideClefable

To get this Pokemon, go to the top of Viridian City. Talk to the old man and answer 'No' when he asks if you are in a hurry. After he explains how to catch a Weedle, fly to Fuchsia City. Use Surf and go to Seafoam Island and surf up and down (while in the water) until Clefable appears. It should be at level 137.

Ditto

Place a level 5 Magikarp at the front of the lineup and allow Ditto transform into it.

Fearow

Kangaskhan

Fly to Fuchsia City, then use Surf and go to Seafoam Island. Surf up and down until Pokemon 'M' appears. Catch it, nickname it, and use one Rare Candy on it to evolve it into Kangaskhan.

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. Go to the top of Viridian City. Talk to the old man and answer 'No' when he asks if you are in a hurry. After he explains how to catch a Weedle, fly to Cinnabar Island. 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.

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.

Mewtwo

To get Mewtwo, the rarest of all Pokemon (#150), defeat Pokemon League, and enter the cave in Cerulean city. Mewtwo is located deep within the cave.

Pikachu

You can only catch a Pikachu in Viridian Forest and the abandoned power plant.

Sandslash

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo

Pokemon Emerald Best Slot Machines

You must have a Haunter at level 60 to capture all of these Pokemon. 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 Ultra Ball again at least three times. Note: Articuno is very difficult to capture.

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 Poke Ball.

An easy way to catch the the legendary birds (Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos) is to put them 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 are caught.

Hints, tips, and tricks

Missingno Pokemon

The North American version of the game contains the following glitch Pokemon, which is obtained by using these steps. Go to Cinnabar Island. Enter into the building where the man makes Pokemon out of fossils. Enter the first room in the building with people that want to trade Pokemon. Trade with one of these people; it does not matter which one. Go back outside and move to the far right side of the building. Then, surf up and down the side of the island while half on land and half in the water. Keep surfing until challenged by a glitch that resembles a microchip or barcode. He is part bird and part water type and starts on level 80. 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. Store the Missingno Pokemon in Bill's PC. It will eventually turn into a Rhydon.

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.

Infinite items

To get 99 of any item, first put the item to be multiplied in the sixth slot. Then, fly 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, answer 'No'. After he explains how to catch a Weedle, fly to Fuchsia City. Make your way south, then when you reach the water's edge, use Surf and go to Seafoam Island. After arriving, swim up and down the beach until running into Pokemon 'M'. Then, defeat 'M' or run away, but do not catch him. You should now have 99 of your sixth item. Note: You can do this trick as many times as desired, and 'M' can be caught again. Instead of having to fly back to Viridian City to do the trick over again (if duplicating more than one item), the items may be switched if you stay in the water. Additionally, instead of 'M' a level 128 Starmie (Red Version) or Snorlax (Blue Version) may appear.

Find the Missingno Pokemon and defeat him. Then a design will appear in your sixth item. Deposit your sixth item individually until it totals 99. 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.

Infinite money

For infinite money, place a gold nugget in the sixth item slot and get 99 of them by using the 'Infinite 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.

Quickly raise Pokemon levels

Use the 'Infinite items' 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.

Strong Pokemon

Use the 'Infinite items' trick after getting 1 Protein, Iron, Carbos, and Calcium at 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.

Catch Pokemon easier

Use the 'Infinite items' trick and duplicate the Master Ball. Then, use the Master Ball on all the Pokemon that you do not have to quickly capture.

Save 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.

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 'Infinite items' trick with Rare Candy. 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 Candy should appear. Note: This trick may not work every time, and may also be done on Victory Road.

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 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.

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.

Phantom PC

Go to the hotel in Celadon City. Move to the upper right corner. Stand just in front of the upper right hand corner, just like in the Pokemon Centers. Then, press A to access the PC.

Diploma

Catch all 150 Pokemon. Then, 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.

Easy experience

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

An easy way to earn experience for a weaker Pokemon is to put your lowest-level Pokemon at the top of your list. Then 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.

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.

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. Also try walking around Celadon's Game Corner and repeatedly press A to find coins that people have dropped. Note: This trick works more often in the 'Blue' version of the game.

Teleport

An Abra is hard to catch, but it is worth it. When your Pokemon are weak and you need to get to a Pokecenter 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.

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.

Keep earning money

A great way to keep getting money even after beating all the trainers in the game is to keep beating the Pokemon League 4 and your rival repeatedly. You can beat them an unlimited number of times. This is also useful to build levels quickly.

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.

Safari Zone Pokemon

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.

Infinite chances to catch rare Pokemon

First, find a rare Pokemon such as 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.

Infinite 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.

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.

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.

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.

Catching Water Pokemon

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

Better chance to capture Pokemon

When you throw a Poke Ball, hold A as it closes in on the Pokemon. The Poke Ball will shut tighter, making it easier to catch the Pokemon. Throw any kind of ball while pressing A + Select to have it act like a Master Ball or Ultra Ball.

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.

Catch Pokemon at level 15

Press Start, A, B (requires precise timing) to catch a Pokemon at level 15 with the Poke Ball.

Harder hitting attacks

While attacking, hold A to do more damage.

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.

Get level 100 and over Pokemon

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. In addition to the Missingno Pokemon, regular Pokemon over level 100 will be encountered. Note: After any Pokemon over level 100 gains any experience points, it will drop to level 100. You can raise the Pokemon with Rare Candy up to level 255. After that, they return to level 0.

High level Pokemon sightings

At times Pokemon over level 100 will appear in the game. The following types have been seen at those high levels: Nidorino, Golduck, Electrode, Snorlax, Magnaton, Starmie, Mewtwo, Marowak, Goldeen, and Mew (when surfing up and down Cinnabar Island).

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.

Using the Poke Flute

The Poke Flute can also be used to wake up sleeping Pokemon during battles, saving money from buying extra Awakenings.

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.

Dig advantage

Dig is very effective against Ghost and Psychic Pokemon.

Finding Pokemon in grass

You can cut down the grass you catch Pokemon in by using the Cut move.

Kakuna and Metapod

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. Then, pick them up and they will have the same attacks as their former evolutionary stage, but not harden.

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.

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).

Stopping evolution

At the evolve screen, press B.

All Pokemon (Game Boy emulators)

Have any Pokemon saved game inside the 'battery' folder (e.g. PokeRed.sav). Then, rename the saved file to the opposite version (e.g. PokeBlue.sav). Run the emulator and catch all the blue version Pokemon. Rename the saved file to the original name (e.g. PokeRed.sav). You should now have the Pokemon from the other version of the game.

Catch Mew (Japanese version)

Catch 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 catch Mew.

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. Then, 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.

All Pokemon (Japanese version)

Note: This code requires two Game Boys, a link cable, and the red and blue versions of the game. Begin a game 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. Then your monster will become level 100 and will enter the next stage of its life, if available.
