Making Male or Female Pokemo

• Here's a funny tip for users of a r/b/y version, a g/s version (and probably crystal) and two GameBoys. This is a trick that is used to control gender of Pokémon traded from r/b/y to g/s (and as I said, probably crystal.) All you need to do is bring the Pokémon that you want to be either male or female when traded to the name rater. Rename it. When you rename, be sure to put the male of female sign at the very end of its name. Trade to g/s and it will be that gender. This will not work with male or female only Pokémon. :)

Getting Ho-Oh and Lugia

• If you have a hard time getting Ho-Oh and Lugia here's how it's done. Now I had both gold and silver games  you know that the gold game you get ho-oh at level 40 so I got ho-oh and got it up to level 53 and then traded ho-oh to my silver game and here are his attacks.1 fly. 2 fire blast.3 sacked fire.4 zap cannon. As soon as I got ho-oh I went    to ho-oh {on the silver game} I sent out ho-oh that I got from gold and first the wild ho-oh attacked he used swift then I used zap cannon and it hit and ho-oh {the wild one still had green hp} then he we as paralyzed then I used fly and kept flying and flying then he was in the red hp and I threw a ultra ball and got him hope this tip helps.

• Believe it or not, I caught Lugia (Level 70) with a Poke' Ball! This is how it works:First, save the game when you are in the same room (cave, dungeon, whatever) as Lugia. Next, you go to POKEMON on your START menu and place a Pokemon with a level 60-68 Level at the top of the list. Then you start to battle Lugia and hit it with some weak attacks like BITE, POISIN STING, WATERGUN,TACKLE, or a paralyzing attack like STUNSPORE or THUNDERWAVE but none to damage its HP. When Lugia's HP range is in the FAINT ZONE (dark red area) use a Poke' Ball. If Lugia uses RECOVER, then use a very weak attack that will affect its HP so it will be in the FAINT ZONE and try the Poke' Ball again. If Lugia continuously keeps escaping from the Poke' Ball, use a Great Ball, NOT AN ULTRA BALL!  Lugia will obviously break out of the Great Ball after at least 1 or 2 Struggle Shakes and then you use the Poke' Ball again and at that time it should be captured.  I was very lucky for this to happen but if you have a Ho-Oh on Level 67 or 68 (like me), that should be the one you should use in battle.

P.S.: After you catch Lugia, SAVE THE GAME!  And so you don't lose your game like in a battle or something important, SAVE THE GAME because there is a new virus for GAMEBOY, dropping it. If you drop your GAMEBOY while the game is still on, the game will shut off and restart. - AveryPrisma201

Getting a lot of Eevees

• Well what I did was I got my Eevee from Bill and caught a Ditto by Goldenrod! Then I placed them with the day-care lady and the day care man also by Goldenrod.  Soon they produced an egg,  I kept them there for along time. Soon they made 6 eggs I took all of them. So now I have a Flareon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, Espeon and  Jolteon. To get six eggs took a lot of walking around though. I finished the Pokémon League and walked around till I got done solving all the mysteries in the old world. Then I had 7 eggs.....they take a long time to hatch too!!! They took along time to hatch because I gave my Umbreon to the day care, and it's a rare Pokémon. So it took lots longer than Eevee would!

Cloning Pokémon

Shiney Pokemon

• If you don't know much about Pokémon with a starry status, listen up:  "Sparkly" or "Shiny" Pokémon are spread throughout both Johto and Canto and are extremely rare. It's more like you run into them, not look for them. If you are fortunate, you may run into a wild Pokémon that sparkles before it comes into battle, just like the Red Gyrados. These Pokémon are different in color and are stronger than the average Pokémon of it's type. If you check the status of the Pokémon after it is caught, you will find that it has three stars next to its gender sign. My cousin and I, have found a total of four sparkly Pokémon, excluding the Red Gyrados. The first I caught was  a Sparkly Rattata LvL 6(I caught) that was in Route 33. Then another, which was a sparkly Ursaring Lvl 42 (I also caught) that was gold in color just outside of Silver Cave. Also, in Canto, at Route 15, I ran into sparkly Nidorina Lvl 23 that was pink in color (I had failed to catch it). Then, also my cousin had found a sparkly Weedle while in the Bug Catching Contest. Supposedly you can't run away from a sparkly Pokémon in battle. (I wouldn't try it).  Well I hope this information has been useful to you. See Ya!
   

Evolving

• If you have an Eevee you can get Umbreon or Espeon.  First you need a level 39 or under Eevee. If you give it hair cuts,use it in battle,or give it EXP SHARE, it will be come happy.  That's how it becomes Umbreon or Espeon.  But the thing is if it becomes Espeon it has to be in the day.  If you want a Umbreon you have to do it in the day.  Hope it makes sense:)
• If you want a Crobat you have to do the same thing with the Eevee tip.  It has to  be happy :)
•  If you want a Blissey you have to have a Chansey that is also again happy :)

• If you want to evolve your Tyrogue into Hitmonlee give it Proteins until it's attack is beter than it's defense. if you want to evolve your Tyrogue into Hitmonchan give Irons until it's defense is beter than it's attack. If you want to evolve your Tyrogue into Hitmontop give it either Proteins or Irons until it's attack and it's defense are the same. After you've given your Tyrogue what it needs, grow it to level 20. - Cjfox

 

Catching the Legendary Dogs, and other sleep moves.-

• Once entering the burned tower and the three statues coming to life and running away the legendary dogs are on the loose. They can ONLY BE FOUND IN THE JOHTO REGION so don't go looking around kanto you'll have no luck. Another note they ONLY APPEAR IN GRASS not in caves or anything else. The dogs have random locations that change every time you enter a building, cave, change route (or city) or fly somewhere.  The first time you see one of the dogs will be purely by luck, your even lucky to see one in the entire game (I've seen two mind you).  Tracking them is quite hard cause when you go and fly to where they are their gone. The best thing to do is buy a couple of super repels and wait around a route like the route near the moo moo farm which only has one patch of grass or routes 30 and 31 which you can go between without entering a building aor anything. Keep moving between routes or entering and exiting a building until one of them is in your area. Then use a couple of repels to make sure you don't have any wild encounters.  Once you run into them have a high speed pokemon at the front equipped with the quick claw put them to sleep. Attack until you get their health to the tiniest bit then start chucking pokeballs (fast balls are good also). If the dog runs away don't worry it will be on the same amount of health next time you run into it. SAVE OFTEN.  There you go happy hunting. - Foxy
•      ::sigh:: I know, I know, those dumb legendary dogs love to make fun of your luck by on letting you see the first time only after hours of devotion, followed by constantly changing their positions when you finally do find them the first time and or capable of tracking. And when you finally do get lucky, they make like a coward and run before you get in a hit. ::d'oh!::     :-(  Well I feel your pain. As matter of fact, just thinking about it brings back painful memories ::shudder:: (On one file I've had several LD encounters after several hours of work, yet they were all with Suicune.
  SUICUNE! Either the others totally hated me, he really liked me, or he was warning them when I was near and taking the fall). Then one day I said: "Aw, Screw the traditional method of pure luck, sleep, Mean Look, etc. Besides, I haven't even freed them yet on this file (whoops)... Time for plan B."  Which I will now share with you:
      1^st, I went back and freed them (of course). Now the hardest part is getting your first encounter so you can track. So take a lot of repel, a Lv. 39- poke, save on a route, and look (restart when your out of repel to save time and money).  OR, you could go find someone who already has them, and trade for info. Then, they'll already be in the pokedex :-D.   Just hope they don't charge you money like my "friend" did.  The rest is simple:
  1. Take your Master Ball (or have someone send theirs by equipping a pokemon
  with it and trading)
  2. Duplicate it into 3 Master Balls (though you'll want more for other pokes)
  3. Carry a lv. 39- poke and always check when you enter a new route.
  4. When you get lucky, use repel and figure it out from there (Hint: it
  invovles one of your new Master Balls).
  5. Start braging and making up storys about it taking you 100+ hours just
  getting one of them. 
   Good luck, your gonna need it -  David Morris
• Here is are a few tips for everyone trying to catch those peskey dogs! Know i have caught all three and they are great but it was hard and here are a few tips.
  
  1) get a high level wigglytuff with lullaby or something else. If you have to beef it up on carbos.
  2) next train a scyther or scizor with false swipe.
  3) lastly keep giving kurt white apricorns for like a month.
  
  Now when you come across one it will tell you where it is on your pokedex. Go to where they are and then use super repel. With wigglytuff on the top of the lineup. When you get in a fight with one use lullaby retreat for scyther and use false swipe until they are down to 1.  Then use screech (by now mostly likely the dog will be awake and would of ran away so find it again and put it back to sleep.) For 3 to 6 times. After that throw about 6 ultra balls at the dog then the fast balls. This process works and i have tested many times hope it helps you. – marinfire123
• I caught all the lions so trust me, this works.  Need: Scizor with false swipe   Jumpluff with sleep powder.   Fast,Ultra,or Masterball.  Quick claw 1) Give Jumpluff Quick claw.  2)  When dogs appears use sleep powder to make him sleep.3) Use false swipe with Scizor, this should bring it to one HP(that's what the attack does.)  4) Use a Ball to capture it. - Piccolo  

Walking Faster

• I found a interesting fact.(I don`t know if this works in r/b/y but it does in g/s) Here it is:IF YOU HOLD DOWN THE "B BUTTON"WHILE WALKING YOU GO FASTER. BRIAN, PEACE

Save Often

• Do not underestimate the Pokemon you're about to face.  Especially if it's a Pokemon like Usokki, who can only be fought once.  Save!  Then, if you don't catch him, just restart and try again or use the defeat as a lesson on how to change your strategy next time.

Attacking Tip

• For those who play pokemon on Gameboy, Earthquake affects pokemon who are using the dig attack (When they are underground).

HALF BOY HALF LAPRAS

• In Cerulean City when you walk up Nugget Bridge to your left is some grass.
  Walk down the grass and stop right after you come out of it. Surf onthe water
  to your right and come out right in front of the entrance to the grass. When
  you come out, and start walking you will go repeatedly from boy to Lapras.
  Whenever you talk to someone, read something, surf, get into a battle, or go
  inside a building you will go back to normal.  - JRYANJA

Duplicating Pokemon and Items in Gold and Silver

• There is another way to duplicate Pokemon and Items in Gold and Silver.  After several failed attempts to duplicate using the tips listed on the site and in various magazines, I stumbled on a way that has worked for my son and me.  You'll need two Gameboys, 2 cartridges, a link cable, and at least one Mega Memory Card (from Interact).  

Here's what you do:

1.  Back up the game cart with the items you want to duplicate (Master Ball, Entei, etc.) on the memory card.  
2.  On the second cart, be sure you have several extra Pokemon you don't need (they will eventually be lost).  
3.  Trade the to-be-duplicated items.  
4.  Back up the second cart on the memory card.  
5.  Restore the original game on the first cart (you magically have the items back!)  
6.  Trade the items/Pokemon back to the first cart (cart 1 now has two of each traded item/Pokemon).  
7.  Restore the game on the second cart (you still have the items, too!)  
8.  Repeat to get multiples of items or Pokemon.

This trick has allowed me to create enough Master Balls to catch the Legendary Pokemon (and extras for Lugia and Ho-Oh if I need them).  Make sure you have plenty of extra Pokemon on the second cart that you can afford to lose.  Also, this really is cheating, so at least try to catch 'em all the ethical way first.
