Did you know that there are Pokemon hidden in Gold/Silver
that have alternate colors, aka shiny status? There
is no easy way to find them (except for the Red
Gyarados in the Lake of Rage) as they appear at
random -- but theyre out there. If you see specially
colored Pokemon, be sure to catch them as they are
very rare. You can recognize them by the sparkle
effect when they appear in battle, or by checking
on the Pokemon Status Screen. Next to the Male/Female
symbol, these special Pokemon are marked with three
dots.
There
are any number of these rare types, including alternate
versions of Nidoking (dark blue), Golbat (purple/green),
Tentacruel (green eyes), Rapidash (purple), Scyther
(orange/green), Hoothoot (yellow/purple), Sudowoodu
(green/red), Ho-oh (yellow/orange), and more.
Breeding
Evolutions:
At the Daycare Center south of Goldenrod City on
Route 33, you can give a male Pokemon and a female
Pokemon to the keepers to breed new Pokemon.
Breed
two Pikachus to get Pichu.
Breed two Electabuzzes and you get Elekid.
Breed two Clefairies and you get Cleffa.
Breed two Jigglypuffs and you get Igglybuff.
Breed two Magmars and you get Magby.
Breed a Venonat with a Pinsir to get Pinsir.
Breed a Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee with a Ditto to
get Tyrogue.
Breed a Clefairy with a Snubbull to get another
Snubbul.
Breed a Gyarados with the Red Gyarados to get a
golden Magikarp.
Replace
any of the Pokemon with the genderless Ditto if
youve only got one of a kind. Ditto will act as
a wildcard Pokemon.
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, youll find
that the withdrawn Pokemon has been deleted. Note:
You can duplicate up to 5 items/Pokemon at a time.

Rare
Pokemon Locations:
Having trouble finding those
really rare Pokemon in Gold/Silver?
Ho-oh
-- There is only one Ho-oh in Gold and Silver,
so make sure you catch it. You can find it on
top of the Tin Tower, but youll need the Rainbow
Wing to go up there. You get the Rainbow Wing
from the Radio Station Manager in Goldenrod City
(Gold version) or the old man in Pewter City (Silver
version).
Lugia
-- You can find Lugia in Whirl Island, off Route
41. Youll need to know the HM 06 Whirpool technique
to get in as well as the Silver Wing. You can
find the latter in Pewter City (Gold) or the Radio
Station in Goldenrod City (Silver).
Chikorita,
Totodile, Cyndaquil -- These are the three starting
Pokemon in Gold/Silver. You have to pick one of
the three -- if you want the others, youll have
to trade with a friend.
Entei,
Suicune, Raiko -- Dogs, cats, what are they? Who
cares! Theyre cool and theyre exceedingly rare.
To catch these guys, go to the Burned Tower in
Ecruteak City. When you get close to them, they
will run away. After this brief encounter, these
fast creatures will roam around Johto. So where
do you find them? Check your Pokedex and have
some Fast Balls ready.
Togepi
-- Professor Elms assistant will give you an
egg in Violet City after you beat the Gym Leader
there. It will hatch into Togepi.
Tyrogue
-- You can get this young Fighting Pokemon from
Blackbelt Kyo (if you have an empty slot in your
party) in Mt. Mortar, or simply breed one using
Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee and a Ditto.
Sudowoodo
-- This odd Rock type blocks your way on Route
36 (just like Snorlax). Use the Squirtbottle from
Goldenrod City to battle it.
Porygon
-- You can get Porygon for 9,999 coins in the
Celadon City Game Corner.
Snorlax
-- Snorlax is blocking the way into Digletts
Cave. Use the Poke Flute to wake it up.
Eevee
-- Apart from winning an Eevee in Pokemon Stadium
or the Celadon City Game Corner, you can also
get one at Bills House.
Aerodactyl
-- There is only one Aerodactyl in Gold/Silver,
but its not that hard to get. Catch a Chansey
and trade with the girl on Route 14 to get it.
Set Your Clock For Daylight-Savings:
Return to your house and talk to your mother. She
will ask you if you want to set your clock to Daylight-Savings
time.
Shiny Pokemon Trick:
If you want the full benefit of this code, use a Pokemon
that can evolve. Otherwise, there will be some confusion
with names and so forth. First, place a flying Pokemon
that has been taught FLY as the first Pokemon in your
lineup, the "Golden Gyarados" as the sixth position,
and the Pokemon whose color is to be changed in the
second position. After doing this, put all of the
Pokemon back into the PC except the first one. Next,
take out the pokemon that was in the second position
before, the one that will be changed. Enter the bug-catching
contest that is near Kogane city. This is held on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. As soon as you
enter it, exit right away. When the clerk asks you
if you want to quit, make sure you say NO, which is
always the lower answer. Now use your Flying Pokemon
to FLY out of the contest. Store the Pokemon that
will be changed in a PC, then go back to the contest
and say YES, the top answer, to complete the contest.
Return to a PC, withdraw the Pokemon, and check its
status screen. The Pokemon will be a different color,
but it will have Gyaradoss name. Grow the Pokemon
until it evolves. You may want to use Rare Candies
if you have any. Now when you go into battle with
the evolved form of the original Pokemon, it will
have a shining status.
Solving the Unown Mystery:
The ruins of Alph are home to the mysterious Unown
(#201), the only Pokemon that exists in more than
one shape. Solving the different sliding-tile puzzles
will drop you into the ruins below, where you can
capture the mysterious Pokemon. In the beginning,
you can only access one puzzle (the solution is Kabutop).
You can get to the rest of the ruins once you have
Surf and Strength. Surf lets you swim to the south
cave which contains a puzzle of Aerodactyl. The other
two puzzles are reached through the Union Cave using
Surf and Strength. The puzzle to the southwest is
an Omanyte, while the one to the west is a picture
of Ho-oh.
The more puzzles you solve, the more varieties of
Unown will be available to be caught. (There are 26
variations in all, one for each letter of the English
alphabet. Ruins of ALPH, get it?). Once you have caught
at least three different shapes of Unown, go to the
Alph Lab just outside the first entrance. You will
receive an upgrade to your Pokedex that lets you view
and collect the different shapes of Unown.
After you have caught all 26 shapes of Unown, you
should return to the lab. Using the machine in the
corner, you will now be able to use the Unown shapes
to create and print out banners using the "Unown font"
(if you have a GB Printer).
Special Poke Balls:
You can give Apricorns to the Poke Ball maker in Azalea
Town to get new types of Poke Balls. Here is a list
of what theyre good for.
White
Apricorn: Fast Ball -- Good for catching Pokemon
that try to escape from battle quickly.
Red
Apricorn: Level Ball -- If your Pokemons level
is significantly higher than the wild Pokemons,
it will be an easy catch.
Blue
Apricorn: Lure Ball -- Good for catching Water
types when fishing.
Pink
Apricorn: Love Ball -- If the wild Pokemons gender
is opposite that of your Pokemons youll have
an easier catch.
Black
Apricorn: Heavy Ball -- Big enough to catch heavy
Pokemon like Snorlax.
Green
Apricorn: Friend Ball -- Pokemon caught with Friend
Balls will become very attached to their trainer.
Good for Chansey (if you want it to evolve into
Blissey).
Yellow
Apricorn:Moon Ball -- Good for catching Pokemon
that evolve with Moon Stones, like Clefairy and
Jigglypuff.
Special Trainers:
There are six extremely helpful Pokemon trainers in
Gold/Silver whose telephone numbers you should definitely
keep in your Pokegear. These six will randomly give
you tips on how to find rare Pokemon and steer you
towards areas where certain Pokemon are currently
"swarming."
