Fast bonus round
To get to a bonus round quickly, on either field catch one Pokemon. This may take some patience. On the red field, wait for Ditto to move and on the blue field wait for the arrow to point to Slowbro. When this happens, shoot the ball into the hole on the red filed. On the blue field, shoot the ball into Slowbro's mouth. Choose to evolve the Pokemon you have caught. When you are done evolving it, shoot the ball into the hole that appeared when you evolved your Pokemon. Note: You must evolve your Pokemon to do this trick. You also have to get the ball in the hole if you want to go to the bonus round.

Easy Cave bonus
Charge up Pikachu's kickback by doing a loop-de-loop around the outside of the board. It should start a spinner, which will charge Pikachu. Then, when the ball falls down to the bottom of the screen and bumps Pikachu, he will do a Pikachu kickback. At this time, flip the flippers so that the blank spot is over Pikachu's head. You have to be quick so that the ball will go through the blank spot.

Special stages
In order to get a special stage you have to catch three Pokemon in one place.

Enter and you will be in the stage. The Red field Bonus Stage is Diglett's Cave and the Blue field Bonus Stage is Meowth's House.

Evolve Pokemon in the red field
Shoot the Pokeball through the left outside loop. Each time it passes through the loop, one evolution arrow will light. When all three arrows are lit, shoot the ball into the Evolution cave. Then, choose the Pokemon to be evolved. For example, if you choose Shellder, make the Pokeball hit all three Water Stones, then shoot the ball into the hole in the middle of the field.

Easier way to evolve Pokemon
After entering Evolution Mode, quickly hit the buttons with the flashing arrows next to them. Do not try to raise Pikachu's lightning meter. The "Ball Saver" will stay lit for awhile. During this time, after hitting a button with a flashing arrow, allow the ball to move below the flippers. After the ball is launched, if the item you are looking for is near the top, you will have a good chance of getting it. Note: If this is attempted, always make sure that the "Ball Saver" is not going to run out.
