link directly to this cheat Battle Red

I take it you want to battle Red eh?

well this is how:

Defeat all the Kanto Gym Leaders and talk to Prf. Oak in his Pallet Town Lab and he will unlock a cave called Mt. Silver this has frightfully powerfull wild pok�mon inside and some rares!

Anyways You need a pok�mon this has the move Flash(HM 05) for the first chamber and probably a repel if you dont want to fight lvl 50 wild pok�mon but thats your decision.

Find your way through the 3 main chambers until you enter a chamber with a black floor there will be a few stairs and then a platform on its own with a trainer with his back to you. Obviously this is Ash but on the game he is called PKM TRAINER RED.

Ash's Powerfull Pok�mon:

Lvl. 81 Pikachu
Lvl. 77 Venasuar
Lvl. 77 Blastoise
Lvl. 77 Charizard
Lvl. 75 Snorlax
Lvl. 73 Espeon

After you defeat him he disappears without talking and the credits come on.

Have fun battling good luck!

link directly to this cheat CATCH LUGIA!!!

Ok this is my favorite, so thats why the title is in caps. Now, first off, Lugia will be level 60 with the following moves... hydro pump, recover, rain dance and gust. I caught this pokemon with two ultra balls, but I adivse at least 20. (Mine was a complete fluke) Now to capture Lugia, you need a silver wing. To get one, go to Pewter City and find the old man next to the right Mart. Talk to him and he will give you silver wing. Now go to whirl islands. Go to the north east island. (From Maville, go straight down and its the farthest to the left Once inside, go to the north east ladder. Next go to the only ladder and you will be in a room with water. Surf down a waterfall in this room and at the bottom of the waterfall you will see an indent in the wall. Enter it and surf in the water. Save and you will see Lugia. (Hint: Just like in gold version!) E-mail me if you have ne probs.

link directly to this cheat Catching Entei and Raikou

All Crystal players have no doubt heard of the legendary dogs; Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. Catching Suicune is fairly easy, as you have the opportunity to battle it without it running off. Entei and Raikou however aren't so easy to capture. Unfortunantly, despite what some cheats say, there is no magic code or cheat that will make Entei appear every time you go into tall grass, or that will stop Raikou from fleeing. I'm sorry to say, but the only way to catch these two legendary pokemon is to chase them across the map. But hopefully this little tip guide will help you out a bit. To catch Entei and Raikou:

1. You'll need two pokemon. One that knows an attack that is guaranteed NOT to completely knock out a pokemon. (I used my Ratata who knew Super Fang. Super Fang is an attack that will knock out only 1/2 of the offending pokemon's HP.) Also, you will need a pokemon who knows an attack that puts other pokemon to sleep. (I used my Poliwhirl who knew the attack Hypnosis.) Both of these pokemon HAVE to be over level 40, because both Entei and Raikou are level 40, and you need to be able to attack first.

2. The next step is to see Entei and Raikou in the wild for the first time. Unfortunantly there is no cheat for this either. Just go about your buisness and the two will attack you at some point. (For me, Raikou attacked my near Goldenrod City shortly after defeating Whitney, while Entei attacked me soon after I caught Suicune. When the two will attack you however, will no doubt be another place/time in the game from mine.) After you see these two, they will appear in your pokedex. And now the fun will begin.

3. Once you have the dogs in your pokedex, go to their page and scroll over to the 'area' option. Now you can see where they are. They never stay in one place for long however, so you'll have to get to them fast and try to catch them before they move. RESIST THE URGE TO USE FLY! If you fly, they will move across the map and you'll just have to move again.

4. When you finally meet up with one of the dogs in battle, make sure you have the pokemon who knows the sleep move in the front of your team, so they come out first. Then use the sleeping move. (Try not to use a move like Scary Look or a move that Paralyzes. Chances are the dogs will be able to attack back even if they can't flee, then they'll use Roar and scare your pokemon away and will escape.)

5. When the Ledgendary Dog is asleep, start using the attack that won't totally knock it out. When you're ready, start chucking the pokeballs. The chances of you catching the dog with the first pokeball is very very slim, so don't feel bad if you don't catch it at first. I don't recommend using your Master Ball on either of the Dogs. I would save it for Lugia or Ho-oh. Just keep using ultra balls. When the dog wakes up, it will flee, so just turn to your pokedex, find out where it is, and start chasing it again.

Keep doing this, and before you know it, Entei and Raikou will be on your team! Good luck!

If you lose to one of the Elite Four, you have to start from the very first person, correct?

Most important place to save is after Karen so it will be easier to beat Lance!!

To get the pokémon you want from the odd egg, save BEFORE you get the egg, not after.

Once you get the egg, it is automatically a chosen pokémon, not right before it hatches, so saving before means you can change that, since what you get isn't programmed into the game as soon a s you start.

Just bear in mind that some eggs take longer tanothers to hatch.

Catch a Butterfree and train it till it learns hypnosis, sleep powder or poison powder. the most important is hypnosis, then go to whirl islands in the top right island and go through the cave till you find Lugia floating on the water first make sure you save the game near him just in case you kill him then use your strongest Pokemon to weaken him till he has his HP is red then take out Butterfree and use hypnosis till he is asleep then use an Ulta ball to capture him. If it doesn't work keep on trying I'm not sure if a Pokeball or Great ball work but there's a slight chance they will.

Things you'll need: some revives, at the least 10 Ultra balls, some super or hyper potions and a Pokemon about level 60 that is capable of beating Lugia.

link directly to this cheat How to get a Chansey that knows Heal Bell

1. Have a high level Miltank that knows Heal Bell (this may take a while to achieve)

2.Find a wild MALE Smeargle and use Heal Bell at the beginning of the battle. Smeargle will then permanently sketch Heal Bell. Catch it.

2. Breed the male "Heal-Belling" Smeargle with a female Snubbull or Granbull. Keep hatching their eggs untill you get a male Snubbull. It will know Heal Bell.

3. Breed the male "Heal-Belling" Snubbull with a Chansey. Hatch the egg, and then VWALLAH, you have a Chansey that knows Heal Bell.

*NOTE*- Make sure you have enough money to take the parent pokemon out of the DCC once you have your baby pokemon hatched.

**NOTE**- This is called CHAIN BREEDING. This is one of the more complicated processes, however(there are far easier chain breeding processes, too.)

***NOTE***- This is the only way to get Chansey Heal Bell in Crystal version.

Going to a certain location doesn't increase your chances of finding a shiny pokemon. It's all a matter of luck, even if other people say they have seen shiny pokemon in certain places that doesn't mean that you'll find them. The only shiny pokemon you are sure to find is the red garados at the lake of rage. Other than that I'd say you will catch at least one shiny pokemon and see others.
Also, in some cases the pokemon don't appear to be shiny, but if you are the slightest bit suspicious of the color then catch it to be sure.

Totodile is basically the most effective starter pokemon.

I know that gym leader wins dish out decent amounts of experience points, however I'm not positive if their pokemon are the best to challenge for good stat advancement, but, if they are this should help pretty well. Say you're trying to train your pokemon team, but one or two are either too strong for their level limit or too weak to handle the gym leader and you're having issues winning in the wild quick enough, just do this.. save before the gym leader. Fight him/her. Run to the comp, put the pkmn you used in a box. Switch boxes, shut it off as it says 'saving..do not turn off the power.' SAVE BEFORE THE SENTENCE FINISHES. Turn the game back on, your pokemon will be in the box with the experience and levels it gained from the gym win, and you have the opportunity to rechallenge the gym leader! Of course, you'll need to if you want the badge. You might want to have the pokemon hold the TM you win so you can make doubles of it while doing this. This could also work if you want to save your vitamins, just save before a comp, use the vitamins, put the pokemon in the box, switch, shut off while saving, turn it back on and voila.. your pkmn will be vitamin enhanced and your vitamins will be intact so you don't have to buy or copy more.

do it over and over again. Note you can NOT copy more than 4 pokemon at a time. otherwise you end up with indestructible unkowns of that/those pokemon. also know as ?
p.s. you can withdraw pokemon.

link directly to this cheat Invisible Items & Items In Trees

Items are on the floor are visible right? Well some are not. In some areas invisible items are lying on the floor so if you think the place you are in is unusual press A where the place is. You can also find items in trees e.g: i found a potion in a tree north of Cerulean City, its a tree thats up some stairs and theres nothing around it click A on it and you will get a Potion and it also works on other trees to.

Hope you find some Invisible Items.

If this cheat does not work it might be because it does not work on your game. It works on mine "Pokemon Crystal Version".

Happy Hunting.

link directly to this cheat Rare Golden Magikarp

This is simple. I dont know if this is a glitch or a breeding thing but i figured this out. Catch a Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage and a normal one with a Super rod. Make sure one is a boy and one is a girl. Take them both to the Day Care Centre and give them to the owners and wait one day then come pick them up and the Man or Woman gives you an Egg. In that egg there is a Golden Magikarp.

Make sure to get your Gyarado's back from the owners. If it isn't one day wait two days.

Happy Breeding.

Go to a PC, and save. Attach the item you want to duplicate to the Pokemon you want to clone. Deposit it into the PC. Change boxes. When the screen is saying "Saving the game..." Turn off your GB. Turn it back on. You should have the deposited Pokemon in the PC, and a clone of it in your lineup. The item will either be on both monsters, or in your Backpack. Note: while doing this code, DO NOT withdraw any Pokemon. When the GB is turned back on, you'll find that the withdrawn Pokemon has been deleted.

link directly to this cheat Character Glitch

This is a glitch in Pokemon crystal to change your character color. You can become a boy with the girl's colours or a girl with the boy's colours. The girl will have red hair, and the guy a blue cap.

So let's get started. Start a new game (if you don't want to restart your game, see below) and pick the character you don't want (ex: if you are a boy and want the girl color, pick the girl first). After, save and start a new game with the wanted character. Save, but when your game says DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER, turn it off. Then, turn it on. Continue your game and your character will have different color.

It's really risky when you already have a game, but you can still try it out. Start a new game with the opposite character. Then, when you save and the game say TURN OFF THE POWER, turn it off. Open your game, and you'll have the opposite character with the opposite color. If you want your real character, you need to do it twice. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

To turn back into the normal color's, just go to the trading or battle (link cable).

WARNING: If you use this code, you will lose all your PC pokemon, so be aware of that!

link directly to this cheat Flying Kanghaskan

This cheat has not been done by anyone else other than me. I personally discovered this by myself and therefor only give credit to myself.

As we all know, you can catch a Missingno in red/blue versions. Well, after you have reached the 4th gym of crystal/gold/silver, you can trade Pokemon with the 1st generation games. All you need to do is catch a lvl 1 Missingno using the duplication hack in the red/blue versions. Your game sprites might get messed up but that will be fixed after what you do later. Missingno has it's own type called "fly". Well, if you use the HM fly (sky attack also works) on it, it should be able to learn it. This is where you abuse the glitch. After teaching Missingno fly or any other flying moves you have, give it a rare candy. If you ever messed around with Missingno you know that after you give it a rare candy it mysteriously evolves into a Kanghaskan. Now all you have to do is to transfer the Pokemon from your old game to Crystal/Gold/Silver using two game boys and a link cable. After that, your Kanghaskan should be able to use fly and moves such as Sky Attack. Fly also works as a transport to get from one city to another. Do this at your own risk but keep in mind that this is something cool to show your friends.

link directly to this cheat Freeze Your Game Clock

This is strange, but also permanent, so only do this if you want your clock to remain set on a certain day. To do this, go to Vermillion City and talk to the Machop that is stomping on the ground. After you talk to him, open your Pack, go to Coin Case, and look at how many coins you have. Your game will either freeze or reset, so you must reset if it freezes. When you do, your game clock will be frozen in that exact time unless you use another code to change the time, which is possible, but I don't know how (yet)

link directly to this cheat Get the 3 starters

You have to use the pokemon duplication cheat with your starter as soon as possible, the only thing is that you need to save before you pick your first pokemon, when you do it pick another stater and go to the PC and the old one will be there, now repeat the same method with the two pokemon then pick the last one as a starter. Now you should have the 3 starters.

Moderator Note: Yes, you can get all three pokemon, but only one of them will register in the Pokedex, so it doesn't count as them ever being caught, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Once you've obtained the HM Cut (HM 1) you can use it to teach some of your pokemon the attack of the same name.
This ability now cannot only be used to cut down certain trees but also to get rid of any grass (by 2x2 squares) so you don't have to bother with any random encounters.
When saving and loading or leaving and reentering the area you used cut in, the grass will have returned (Unfortnately)...

link directly to this cheat Pokemon RARE candies!!!! Finally Someone to tell were to find those darn things.

Okay well the first rare candy you can receive is after you learn surf and you beat the 4th gym leader.

1. Go to your house and surf all the way to the right. Once you hit land there will be a strip of water Below surf there to find the first one.
2. Go to the bellsprout tower and surf on the water for a rare candy at the top right.
3.Upon entering the town of Goldenrod walk along the left of the town and surf on the water the first chance you can. You will go left and down. Stop surfing and get on land the first chance you get and WALK as far possible down push the A button on the trees that are south there will be a rare candy in one of them. REMEMBER do not go to the second piece of land. After you surf it will be the first piece you come to.
4.Buenas Password in the Radio Tower. Its self Explanatory.
5.The Dark cave has two rare candies.
6.The Lighthouse has 1 rare candy to find it make sure you walk everywhere. I think the trick is once you get on the 3rd... or 4th floor walk down instead of up.
7. At the Lake of Rage while your making your way up to it hug the left. There should be some water and walk to the left and all the way up. Cut the first tree and stay to the left. The rare candy is invisible but its at the very top left walk all the way and when there is exactly one step left dont take it press A and you will find a rare candy.
8.And the last one that I know of is in the Whirl Islands.

Hope this helped I know Ive always wanted to know these things and there never has been and Exact page with all of them.

OOO yeah the other Rare candy is in Kanto. Go to were leader blue is standing on some island below pallet town and once he moves there is a hidden rare candy in his spot. <img src="http://i.neoseeker.com/d/icons/smile.gif" border=0 vspace=2 alt="" />

BREEDING

I sort of specialize in breeding and breeding for hereditary moves and status. So here are some tips on how to breed to get the best.

Basics

1. You always get a baby type of whatever the mother was. e.g. Male Growlithe+Female Sandshrew= Baby Sandshrew. The baby can be male or female.

2. These Pokemon cannot have babies:**
The 3 Legendary Dogs
The 3 Legendary Birds
All Baby Pokemon
Mewtwo
Togepi
Ho-oh
Lugia
Unknowns

3. The Baby Pokemon are:**
Pichu
Cleffa
Elekid
Magby
Smoochum
Tyrogue
Igglybuff

4. Pokemon will not breed with Pokemon that are genetically related to them.
They also don't breed with Pokemon that are not in their group. I haven't quite completed my grouping chart yet, so i can't give you these, sorry.

Not-so-basics

5. Eliminating Weaknesses
First find out what your Pokemon's weak areas are, such as a Growlite's special defense, hp, and defense are low. But his speed, attack, and special attack are high. Then battle the Pokemon and and give them empowering items such as Iron to bring up defense, hp up for hp, and calcium for the specials(these can be bought through goldenrod or Buena's password). Make sure you to this to both parents. When you have finally even things out you can breed them and the baby will reap all of the benefits.

6. Inheriting Moves
Well, this is a complicated one. It takes FOREVER if you want a rare move. However it is simple when the circumstances are right. Just take one Parent and make learn learn a move, and the baby will MOST LIKELY be born with it. If not, try again. If the baby is Female it inherits moves and status from the father, and if it is a male, the mother. If the Pokemon will not breed with the Pokemon that knows the move it is either A>related to the other Pokemon or B> just not compatible. So, either breed the move to a Pokemon that can breed with both, or use this next trick.

7. The Smeargle:

This Pokemon knows a unique trick called "Sketch." This is INCREDIBLY helpful. If you catch a smeargle (go through Union Cave outside into a special isolated area with grass in the Alph Ruins), you can fight the Pokemon that would have the move. Then use sketch, this copies ALL of the other Pokemon's moves into Smeargle's list permanently. That way you can breed the Smeargle with the Pokemon you want.

That's all for now!
