Clone Pokemon and items

Note: This trick could corrupt your saved game file. Put the Pokemon you want cloned in an empty box on Bill’s computer. Then switch to another empty box. When it asks you to save select “Yes”. Once it says there is another file, select “Yes” and at the same time turn the power off on the Game Boy system. Make sure the power is off before more text comes up or you will not get the cloned Pokemon. If done correctly, you will have the Pokemon that you cloned in your party and another one in Bill’s computer where you deposited. This trick also works on items. -From: [email protected]

Duplicate items

Go to the item that you want to be duplicate. Note: You cannot duplicate items in Poke Balls, such as Rare Candy. Then get the password to reset the time and change the day. This works best with berries and balls from Kurt.

Surf down by the Ruins of Alph (Violet City) and solve the puzzle there. The puzzles should be somewhat easy. Just put in the corner pieces first. Then, go to the Union Cave. Walk around and find the Pokemaniac. If you have not defeated him, fight him. Then, Surf in the waters near him. You will have to return here twice. Break the rock you find, and solve the puzzle.

Breeding Pokemon

You cannot breed every type of Pokemon, although some are male or female (like Mewtwos). They still cannot be bred together.

Breed without the other half

You do not need another of the same Pokemon to breed. Get the Pokemon you want to breed and put it as male or female. Get Ditto, place it with the male or female, and let the breeding begin.

Items from Time Capsule Pokemon

When you use the Time Capsule to trade with the other Pokemon games, every Pokemon that comes from the Red, Blue, or Yellow versions will have an item equipped with them. Some will just have berries, but others have better things.

Defeating Ash

Create a Pokemon team with different types; Grass, Psychic, Devil, Fire, Water, and Steel recommended. Each Pokemon should be level 65 or higher. If not, make sure you have a large amount of Hyper Potions and Revives.

New Poke Balls

You can give Apricorns to the Poke Ball maker in Azalea Town to get new types of Poke Balls:

    White Apricorn

    Fast Ball: Good for catching Pokemon that try to escape from battle quickly.

    Red Apricorn

    Level Ball: If your Pokemon’s level is significantly higher than the wild Pokemon’s, it will be an easy catch.

    Blue Apricorn

    Lure Ball: Good for catching Water types when fishing.

    Pink Apricorn

    Love Ball: If the wild Pokemon’s gender is opposite that of your Pokemon’s you will have an easier catch.
