Pokemon Crystal Tips & Hints

How to get unlimited sun stones
To get ulimited sun stones go to the bug catching contest every Tuesday,Thursday,and Saturday.You need to go to Nationel park talk to the guy and he will say would u like to join the bug contest say yes he will say uh oh u have more then 1 pokemon switch the highest level pokemon to the top and talk same thing will happen but he will keep ur pokemon till ur done and all ways catch a syther i did i all ways won then i sell the sun stones in the market!(but u need a cynaguil at the beggening or it will be worth less fire and bug pokemon dont match)



Catching Lugia
First you have to get a Rainbow Wing,then go to the Tin Tower in Ecurcteac Town were you get the 4th badge and talk to the guy who is blocking your way give him the Rainbow Wing,he will move and go to the top and save first and use a Masterball and uh,there you go ,you have a Lugia.



Abra
Abra will not know any moves except Teleport if you use a stone to evolve it into Kadabra.



Alakazam
Alakazam will learn Psychic at level 38 and Reflect at level 45.



Aipom
Go to the area between Mahogany and Blackthorn. Headbutt every tree possible. Eventually a sleeping Aipom at level 10 will fall from it.



Chansey
You can find a Chansey on Routes 15, 14, and 13. It will be at level 20 or higher.



Corsela
Fish at the Day Care Center below Goldenrod City with the Super Rod. Eventually, you will find a Corsela. Other than Corsela, you will find high level Krabby.



Donphan
Go directly south of Blackthorn and search in that location.



Dunsparce
To get wild Dunsparce, find Anthony the hiker on Route 33. Battle him and get his phone number. He will call when the Dunsparce appear in the Dark Cave.



Eevee
When you get Eevee from bill in Goldenrod City, catch a Ditto and give them to the day care couple at the same time. Go in back and check to make sure that they are interested in each other. Wait two days and then pick up an egg -- the man will be in the yard and you do not have to take Eevee or Ditto back. A couple of hours later, return for a second egg, and later again for a third. It takes two days to hatch them, and you can now get four evolutions. Breed another Eevee with another Ditto for the last evolution



Espeon
Level up your Eevee until it trusts you very well. Then, level it up in the day or morning to get Espeon. Note: Your Eevee will not automatically evolve as soon as it trusts you. It will most likely be above level 42 when it evolves, when it learns Take Down. To see how tame it is, go to Goldenrod by the gym. There is a lady in a house there who tells you how tame your Pokemon is. As long as she says, "I get the feeling it really trusts you," you are doing well.



Furret
To make a very powerful Furret, save your money and go to the Goldenrod department store. They sell three Punch TMs, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder Punch. Furret can learn all three and get an advantage on Ghost, Bird, Grass, Water, and Dragon type Pokemon.



Grimer
To find a Grimer in the water, go to Celadon City. Find the house that has a pond in the front. Then, Surf across the pond. Speak to the man in front of the house. Surf in the pond until find a Grimer.



Hitmontop
If the Tyrogue that you got from the Karate Master in Mt. Mortar has already evolved, you will need a Ditto to get the Hitmontop. Take your evolved Tyrogue (Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee) to the Daycare Center and make sure they like each other. You will know this if you talk to them when they are in the backyard of the house. Have them lay an egg. After getting the egg and hatching it, train the baby Tyrogue to level 19, then save the game just in case it does not evolve to Hitmontop (and you can do it again). Check its Attack and Defense status. If one is higher than the other, go to the Department Store and buy the necessary Protein or Iron to make the lower one equal the higher one. Then, go back to training it. When it gets to level 20 and evolves, it should be a Hitmontop. Note: If this does not work, reset the game and repeat the procedure.



Ho-oh
To catch Ho-oh you must get the Rainbow Wing.



Hoothoot
You can catch Hoothoot in the early parts of the game. To level him up, take Hoothoot to the Sprout Tower in Violet City where the Bird Gym is located. Most of the trainers have Bell Sprouts, which cannot do much damage to Hoothoot. However, beware of Ghost Pokemon. Have a Poliwag slightly leveled up to battle, and watch for the Hypnosis move. At this stage, only Poliwag's Bubble move is going to do much damage to a Ghost Pokemon. Note: One daytime Pokemon, Butterfree, has the power to defeat both Bellsprouts and Ghosts in Sprout Tower.



Lapras
Every Friday at Union Cave there is a wild Lapras in a secret place. Get at least 20 Heavy Balls and a Pokemon at level 25 that knows Surf and Fury Swipes. When you get into Union Cave, go near the end of the cave. Instead of going to the exit near Azalea Town, go to the other side on the left. Instead of going to battle the man to the north, go south. You should see a pond. Surf down the pond, and there should be a staircase. Use it. After you go down the staircase, there is an other pond. Go near the pond and Surf across. There is an other staircase. Use it. Next, go south and Surf all the way down. When you reach the bottom, go left and get on the land. Go all the way down, then save the game. To catch Lapras, look on the right side of the land that you are on. Use Surf on the pond you just saw and look for Lapras. Battle Lapras and bring her down to the red zone by attacking her with the level 25 Pokemon. Then, catch her with a Heavy Ball. If you kill her, turn off the game and resume from the saved location.



Legendary Dogs
The Legendary Dogs are Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. You will find Entei and Raikou after you have scared them away from the Burned Tower, but you will have to do more to find Suicune. Suicune can be caught at the Tin Tower in Ecrukteak City after you have received the Clear Bell from the Station Manager, have defeated the Ecrukteak City Gym Leader, scared away Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, and have defeated the Wise Trio. Only when the those tasks have been completed, will you be able to fight Suicune.



Lugia
Go to the cave nearest to the city with the light house, or just follow the wall on the right-hand side while in the water. You will encounter two trainers and then a whirlpool. Use the whirlpool to get into the cave. Once inside, you will see a small walkway with jump-able bushes on one side. Jump over then go up and right. Go down the ladder. You will be on an island with an item nearby. Get the item and SURF down. Once down the waterfall, you will see an entrance in the cliff and a ladder. Go into the entrance. Then, Surf up to find Lugia, Use the ladder to exit the cave. Note: Lugia are at level 60 and are very hard to catch with any Pokeballs other than the Master Ball.



Mew and Celebi
You cannot catch Mew or Celebi on any of the Pokemon games. You have to get them from Nintendo in one of their contests or tours.



Pikachu
Go to the grassy area just before you enter Viridian City. Pikachus are usually in the top row of the grass at about 10:00 am.



Porygon
Save 9999 game coins, then go to the Celadon Game Corner. Go to the place where you redeem the prizes. Go to the one where you get the Pokemon. Make sure you have a spare space. If you cannot get to 9999, spend money on the gambling machines.



Sentret
To make a very powerful Sentret, save your money and go to the Goldenrod department store. They sell three Punch TMs, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder Punch. Sentret can learn all three and get an advantage on Ghost, Bird, Grass, Water, and Dragon type Pokemon.



Shuckle
You can find Shuckle by doing one of two things. First, you can use Rock Smash on one of the rocks to the south of the Pokemon Battle Tower. Second, you can get one free from the kid in Cianwood City who had his other Pokemon stolen by your Rival.



Snorlax
Gind the generator piece in Cerulean City. Then, go over to the Power Plant through the Rock Tunnel. Give it to the man at the generator. Then, Fly to the Lavender Town Radio Tower and the President will give you the EXPN Card. This allows you to listen to the radio in Kanto. Next, go over to Snorlax in Vermillion City. Put on your radio and tune it to the Pokeflute channel. Snorlax will wake up and attack you. You only get one chance to defeating it. Save the game before starting the battle.



Sudowood
When you go to capture Sudowood (the "tree" blocking the way between Violet and Goldenrod cities) make sure to have a Pokemon that knows Hypnosis and a level 28 Fearow. Have the first Pokemon cast Hypnosis, then use Fearow to slowly lower Sudowood's HP . Sudowood is a rock type, and Fearow is weak against him. This will help avoid a K.O. as there is only one Sudowood in the game in the wild. Save the game before you start the battle, just in case.



Suicune
Get 20 or more Great Balls and go to Tin Tower. Save the game in front of the stairs then go inside and battle Suicune. Make sure you have a Pokemon that knows an Ice type move so you can freeze him. You can now take all the time needed to throw Great Balls at him. If you run out of Great Balls, turn off your Game Boy Color and repeat the steps. Catching Suicune may take some time.



Typhlosion
Typhlosion is a very powerful Pokemon. It can take Ground, Rock, and Water Pokemon down easily. Teach it Flamewheel, Mud-Slap, Solarbeam, and Sunnyday. If facing a Water type, use Sunnyday, then Solarbeam. If facing a Rock/Ground type, use Sunnyday, then Solarbeam. If facing a Rock/any other type, use Mud-Slap. If using Water/Ground type, use Sunnyday, then Solarbeam. If facing a Grass type, use Sunnyday, then Flamewheel.



Umbreon
Level up your Eevee until it trusts you very well. Then, level it up at night to get Umbreon. Note: Your Eevee will not automatically evolve as soon as it trusts you. It will most likely be above level 42 when it evolves, when it learns Take Down. To see how tame it is, go to Goldenrod by the gym. There is a lady in a house there who tells you how tame your Pokemon is. As long as she says, "I get the feeling it really trusts you," you are doing well.



Vaporeon
Once you get Eevee from Bill in Goldenrod City, go to Mahogany town. To the west of Mahogany Town, you will find a man named Tully Fisher. After battling him, register his phone number. Eventually, he will call you and give you a Water Stone. Give it to your Eevee and it will evolve into a Vaporeon.



Shiny Pokemon
According to the official guide, it is possible to get all Pokemon in the game in an alternate color. However, the chances of seeing an alternate color Pokemon is so low you may have to play for hundreds of hours to see any, except for the red Gyarados at the Lake Of Rage. The alternate color Pokemon do not have better stats. Any difference in the stats is due to the trainer, and not the color.



All three starter Pokemon
This trick requires Pokemon Gold or Silver to do this. First, start a new game on Pokemon Gold or Silver. Then, choose any starter (Cyndaquil, Tododile, or Chikorita). Go to the first Pokemon Center that you can find, then trade one of the starter Pokemon for another. You can repeat this as many times as desired.



Breeding tips
Tameness is a large factor. The longer you keep a Pokemon in a box, the harder and less chance it has of producing an egg. If it is injured and you do not heal it, the Pokemon will get upset and often fail to produce eggs. If Pokemon have the same miniature icons (select the Pokemon option on your menu), they will prefer each other more than other Pokemon. Finally, do not breed family members with each other. For example, if you breed an Eevee with a Ditto, that Eevee will not breed with the new Eevee. They will refuse to breed and get upset.



Quick restore
When far away from a Pokemon Center, go to a location with a PC. Deposit the weak Pokemon, then withdraw it.



Increasing happiness
Buy 30 each of Carbos, Protein, Iron, and Calcium. Give as many of the Carbos, Protein, Iron, and Calcium to your Pokemon as possible. Then, take your Pokemon to the groomers and have it groomed twice. Then, take it to the Happiness rater to see how much it likes you. After that, raise it up a level and it should evolve. This is best used with Togepi to Togetic, Eevee to Espeon, Eevee to Umbreon, and Chansey to Blissey.



Goldenrod City: Items
Turn the radio to 10.5 (one notch right of 10) and read the password given. Go to the Goldenrod radio station at any time. Go up one floor to find a broadcasting booth. Talk to the woman closer to you and tell her the password, then talk to the woman below her. She will give you a blue card and a point. When you have more points, talk to the second woman again to get a prize such the Ultra ball or HP Up.



Mt. Mortar: Karate King
Enter Mt. Mortar by using the middle entrance. Do not go down the ladder. Surf left, up, and right and use Waterfall. When you go up the whirlpool, follow the path. Use Rock Smash on the rock blocking the path. Then ,Surf all the way up and make another left. Follow the path again and go down the ladder. Explore that part of the cave and you will eventually find Karate King. Battle him to get a Tyrouge. Note: Have at least ten Max Repels with you.



Olivine City: Iron
Take the S.S Aqua boat from Olivine City. Battle everyone, then exit the boat. Surf to the right. In the water by the pole is an Iron. You cannot get this item from the other side once you pass the ticket man. It is on the ship side -- face the pole in the water and use Item Finder.



Ruins Of Alph: Easy attacks
If you have a weak Pokemon with weak attacks, take it to the Ruins of Alph and train there. The Unknown are very weak. Train until it evolves, and cancel the evolution until your Pokemon is at level 20. Then, let it evolve. You should have had one attack come quicker than when it is evolved.



Vermilion City: Rare Candy
After defeating the Elite Four and the Champion, you will get a call from Professor Elm to get a ticket to go to Kanto. You will end up at Vermilion City, where Lt.Surge is located. There is a Rare Candy up on the left, near water.



Violet City: Hidden items
There are three hidden items in Violet City. You will need Surf and Cut. There is a Rare Candy by Earl's Pokemon Academy. Chop down a tree to get to it. You cannot see it; go one space away from the bushes and press A. A message stating that you got a Rare Candy will appear. There are two bodies of water in Violet City. Surf in them until you get to a piece of land. One lake has a Hyper Potion and the other has a PP Up.



Eusine: Defeating him
Note: The following trick is for the Japanese version of the game. In order to fight the Suicune admirer, catch the legendary water dog, Suicune, then head back to the platform where the three legendary dogs were located. Use an Escape Rope, and you will end up on the roof. There is a ladder in the left hand side in order to get down, or you can jump through the broken roof. Navigate through the labyrinth of holes to find a ladder to the basement. Climb down, and you will see Eusine. Please note, he is not an easy opponent. He uses the three starters at L50, a Level 60 Blissey, a Level 65 Crobat, and then a Level 45 Celebi. If you defeat him, you earn 15,602 Pokemoney, and he will give you the Itemscope, which makes invisible items visible. Examine the pillar next to him to learn that he used it to find the GS Ball with Celebi.



Elite Four: Defeating them
Train an Alakasam to level 55 and teach it Psychic, Thunder, Fire, and Ice Punch. Train a Gyrados to at least level 40 and teach it Surf and Hydro Pump. Train a Machamp to level 35 and have it learn Vital Throw. Use Alakasam against everyone except Houndoom (use Gyrados) and Umbreon (use Machamp).Your Alakasam should be able to defeat all in one or two moves.



PokeRus
You can get the PokeRus infection from a Yanma at Route 35, below bug catcher Arnie. Go up and down the grassy area. Add Bug Catcher Arnie to your list he will call you if he sees these rare Pokemon. You will know when you have the PokeRus because Professor Elm will call you and give you information about it (and tell you not to worry). Look at the stats on your Pokemon and you will see a shiny dot at the bottom right side (like a shiny Pokemon) and see the word PokeRus. It lasts two to four days and will spread to the other Pokemon in your party. Infect some and store them to keep the PokeRus going. Trade an infected Pokemon to the Pokemon Gold or Silver only -- it will not work on other versions. Take the infected Pokemon to a Pokecenter and heal. The nurse will say that your Pokemon has tiny bugs all over it -- but they do not seem to be harming them. The PokeRus virus is good, not bad. Pokemon that have it will gain twice as much experience after a battle. Getting the virus is extremely rare. You have a 3 in 65536 chance of getting it after a battle. The virus will wear off (healing at a PokeCenter will not end it). Once the virus is gone the Pokemon will be immune to future infections, and cannot infect other Pokemon. You will see a tiny dot in the corner. You can group infected Pokemon using Pokemon Stadium 2.



Save TM
When you have lost any important TM (Shadow Ball, Thunder, Fire Blast, Psychic, etc.), catch or transfer a Ditto. Grab the Pokemon that has the TM then breed it. You will now have the first Pokemon with a TM. This trick is useful when you have lost Eartquake, also is useful when you have any Pokemon to Battle Frontier higher than level 50. Only breed it then you will have the Pokemon with some attack learned by the Pokemon. When you need other Pokemon, try to breed other Pokemon than Ditto. Find a combination until you find a Pokemon. Note: This trick cannot be used with legendary Pokemon.



Finding hidden items
The following is easy way to get hidden items without an Itemfinder. If there are trees, rocks, or anything else in a formation as though they are surrounding something but have some way to get in, just look at it and press A.



Weekly Rival Battle
Every Wednesday at the Pokemon League, your red headed rival will challenge you to a battle. This happens before you battle at the Pokemon League when you walk to the stairs.



Easy money
Get a Pokemon that knows Pay Day. Battle any wild Pokemon and only use Pay Day. Each hit from pay day results in $40. The more you hit the Pokemon with pay day the more money you will get. Note: This does not work in trainer battles, and you must defeat the Pokemon to get the money.



Combo moves
There are many "combo moves" that can be used during battle, for example Swagger and Psych Up. Swagger will confuse your opponent and make his attack power rise greatly. You can use Psych Up to copy the attack power and not get confused. Another great combo is Curse and Agility. Curse will make your attack and defense rise, but t makes your speed fall (note that Ghost types use Curse differently than this way). You can use Agility to boost your speed two levels so that all around, you have better stats in two turns.



Stronger Pokemon
If you choose to be a male trainer, then catch female Pokemon. They will love you faster and be stronger. If you choose to play as a female, catch male Pokemon.



Easy experience
Put a strong Pokemon that can put their opponent to sleep in the front of your party. Go to the grass in front of Silver Cave. Put the wild Pokemon to sleep, then switch to a low-level Pokemon. Have it do one attack and switch back to your strong Pokemon and finish it off. The weaker Pokemon will gain a lot of experience.



Game differences
The following are differences from Pokemon Gold and Silver. The game has animated Pokemon. You can get items from your phone pals. Suicune can be caught before running out into the world of Johto and Kanto.



Easy time change
An easy way to change the time on the system is to first save at the time which is easiest for you. Wait until it is that time in real life (keep the game on) Without saving, turn off the game. Note: Do not do things you need to save. You should now have the time set. Note: The game counts days. For example, if you are one hour behind, you will need 6 days/23 hours of no-save play.



Pokemon Not in the Game
The following Pokemon cannot be found in Pokemon Crystal. You'll have to transfer them from Gold, Silver, Red, Yellow or Blue. As always, Mew and Celebi can only be gotten from special events or contests.

Mankey
Primeape
Vulpix
Ninetales
Mareep
Flaaffy
Ampharos

Get the Rainbow Wing
To get the Rainbow Wing, capture Raikou, Suicine and Entei and take them back to the Tin Tower. This method is different than those used in Gold and Silver.



Choose a New Trainer
Pokemon Crystal allows you the option of selecting a male or female Trainer when you begin play.



Capture A Cinderquil
One way to get a cyndaqul is to go to the day care center just before goldenrod and breed a fearow with a typhlosion to get a cyndaquil make sure fearow is a feamale and typhlosion is a male for some reason it will not work the other way around.



Eevee moves
All Eevee evolutions will learn a very powerful move at level 52, here they are:

- espeon,morning sun-restores hp best used in the morning 5pp
- umbreon,moonlight-restores hp best used at night 5pp
- flareon,fire spin-traps victim in swirling fire and inflicts damage 15pp
- vaporeon,hydro pump-blasts them with water 5pp

Duplicate Items/Clone Pokemon
Note: Use this code at your own risk. It may corrupt your save data if done incorrectly.

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. Note: You can duplicate up to 5 items/Pokemon at a time.
