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

house there who tells you how tame your Pokemon is. As long as she says,
"I get the feeling it really trusts you," you're doing well.

If you capture Ho-oh and want to use him in the Battle Tower,
he will only be able to fight against level 70 Pokemon because
of his high status.

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.

Hoothoot, shiny:
On Route 30, just below Mr. Pokemon's house, is a level 4,male albino
Hoothoot. The chances of finding it are quite slim, but worth the effort.

Kakuna, shiny:
You can find a blue Kakuna in Ilex Forest.

Larvitar:
During the morning or the day, you can catch Larvitar. It takes quite
awhile find it, but is worth it when Larvitar evolves into Tyranitar.

Legendary Birds:
You have to transfer Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres from Pokemon Red,
Blue, or Yellow to get them.

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.

Find Suicune (Suikun) in three different places (right out of National
Park, below the bush by Mount Mortar, and up in Cianwood). Then, go to
Tin Tower, and Suicune will appear to fight you.

To capturing Suicune, make sure you have the Ekruteak Gym Badge, Clear
Bell, and 20 Fast Balls. Then, go to Tin Tower and enter the battle.
First, send out a level 40 Red Gyrados and use Dragon Rage two times.
Then, switch it with a level 39 Typhlosion and use Cut two to three
times. After that, keep using Fast Balls. If you put him to sleep one
time, you should have seven Fast Balls remaining if you catch him.
Note: Save before you go inside in case you lose or make Suicune faint.

The three Legendary Dogs have a special song when they appear.
That same song is used when your find Raikou or Entei, which is a trick
for capturing Ho-oh.

To capture Raikou, Entei, and Suicune easily, first catch a Scyther
from the Bug Catching contests on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Raise the Scyther to level 40 and make sure it knows False Swipe.
False Swipe will always leave one HP on your opponent. Make sure it has
high speed (use as many Carbos as possible) to be able to get a first hit.
Also use Quick Claw. When you have one of the dogs in your area, use Max
Repel to keep unnecessary Pokemon away. When you see your opponent, use
False Swipe. They will get away but you do not have to worry about them
fainting and lose your shot. After their health is low, raise a Poliwhirl
to level 40 with Hypnosis. Try a Politoed if possible. Boost its speed up
with Carbos and go on the hunt. When you see your opponent, make sure
Poliwhirl is at the top of the line and has Quick Claw. Use Hypnosis and
try your luck. If it falls asleep, try an Ultra, Great, and Fast ball.
If unsuccessful, try again. If they wake up, try Hypnosis again.
Also consider having Scyther on your line for False Swipe.

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.

Use Hypnosis at the beginning of the battle with a Poliwhirl or Politoed.
Make sure you have a Scyther or Scizzor that is at least level 60 and use
False Swipe. Bring at least 50 Ultra Balls. Save the game before you battle,
in case you Lugia faints.

Magikarp, shiny:

of this happening are low.

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.

Use the following trick to get more then one Sudowood. Capture the Sudowood
blocking the way to the ruins. Then, catch a male Graveler and put them both
in the Day Care. The next day, go to the Day Care and make sure the old man
is in the back of the house. Approach him and he will give you an egg. After
a few minutes, go back to get another egg.

using Quick attack. Make sure you have a Scyther that was raised to level 20
or higher and use False Swipe. Bring at least fifteen Great Balls.

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.

Use Hypnosis at the start of the battle with a Poliwhirl or Politoed. Then,
switch to a level 40 or higher Scyther or Scizzor. As soon as you send it out,
use False Swipe. Make sure you have a lot of Fast and Ultra Balls. If Suicune
wakes up, use Hypnosis again. Also, save your game before you enter Tin Tower.

Tangela, shiny:
A level 35, yellowish-green shiny Tangela can be found by surfing to the grassy
area just below Pallet Town. Note: You must search the area at night.

Pokemon down easily. Teach it Flamewheel, Mud-Slap, Solarbeam, and Sunnyday.

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.

Tyranitar:
Tyranitar can be found inside the Silver Cave. He will be hard to find and may
take at least 25 minutes. Ride your bike around in circles just before you enter
the room where Red (Ash) is located.

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're doing well.

Unowns:
In the back of each puzzle room in the Ruins of Alph is a word formed by Unowns.
They require you to do things in order to get into a back room. In one place, you
must equip a Water Stone. In another, you must put Ho-Oh first in your lineup.
In another you must use an Escape Rope. In another you must use Flash. Once in the
back room, pick up the items and fall down the hole to find a room with a message
about Annon/Unown. Fall down the hole there to return to the Unown shrine.

To catch an Unown easily, first catch a Ditto and train it to level 27. Go to the
Ruins Of Alph, and have Ditto transform into the Unown you want to catch.
Use Hidden Power once. This should bring the enemy Unown into the orange zone and
make it easy to catch with the Pokeball. Note: This works about 99% of the time.
For the other 1%, the enemy Unown is KOed.

To catch an Unown easily, catch a Scyther at the National Park Bug-Catching Contest.
Train it to level 18, when it learns False Swipe. Then, go to the Ruins Of Alph and
get into battle with an Unown you do not have. Send out Scyther and use False Swipe.
Catch the enemy Unown with the Pokeball. Note: This works best if the enemy Unown is
Paralyzed, Asleep, etc.

ill appear. This Zubat will keep evolving until it is a pinkish Crobat. It is very
strong.

Breeding partners:
------------------
Magby: Two Magmars
Pichu: Two Pikachus
Igglybuff: Two Jigglypuffs
Ceffa: Two Clefairies
Tyrongue: Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee with a Ditto
Shiny Magikarp: Gyrados with a Shiny Gyrados
Steps required for breeding:
When you leave Pokemon at the Day Care Center and are trying to get them to breed,
it does not take a set amount of time. Instead, the game requires a certain amount
of steps. Getting the Pokemon to lay an egg requires a couple hundred steps.
It varies on how long it takes the egg to hatch.

1000 Steps: Magikarp
2500 Steps: Cleffa, Igglypuff, Pichu, Togepi
4000 Steps: Caterpie, Geodude, Hoothoot, Ledyba, Pidgey, Rattata, Sentret, Spearow,
Spinarak, Weedle, Zubat
6500 Steps: Elekid, Heracross, Magby, Mantine, Misdreavous, Mr. Mime, Onix, Pinsir,
Scyther, Skarmory, Smoochum, Tyrogue
7500 Steps: Kabuto, Omanyte
9000 Steps: Eevee, Aerodactyl
10000 Steps: Chansey, Dratini, Lapras, Larvitar, Snorlax
All others take about 5000 steps.

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.

Evolve by trading:
Machoke, Kadabra, Haunter, and Graveler will evolve by trading via a game link
cable.
