Hint: Get to Battle Frontier:

To get to the Battle Frontier, you must defeat the Elite Four with Pokemon only with your
I.D. number. After you defeat them, you will get a ticket from your father to get to the Battle
Frontier. The Battle Frontier is another region with fourteen more badges to collect.

There are seven gyms in the Battle Frontier. The seven gyms are the Battle Tube, Battle
Dome, Battle Factory, Battle Arena, Battle Palace, Battle Pyramid, and Battle Tower. Each
gym has two badges to collect.

Hint: Get to Sooptopolis:

To get into this city you must dive underwater. Look for this city on your Pokenav. When
you get close to Sooptopolis, dive.

Hint: Get to Southern Island:

Southern Island is where you get the opposite bird. If you chose Latios, you will find Latias
here and vice versa. You need the Eon Ticket to have access to this island.

Hint: Get to Slateport City and Mauville City:

When you get Surf, go northeast from Oldale Town into Route 103. You will see a body of
water. Surf east and you will get to Slateport City and Mauville City faster then the bigger
water Route 104-109.
Information in this section was contributed by Pklandconstract.
Hint: Johto starters:

When you get 200 Pokemon of the Hoenn Pokedex, Professor Birch will call you on your
Pokenav and say that he wants to give you a surprise. You can now choose one of the three
Johto starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile).
Information in this section was contributed by darkchaos526 and Tinitta Hodge.
Get three Pokemon Emerald games and agree to get a different Pokemon when you complete
your Hoenn Pokedex on each of them. For example, you would choose Cyndaquil, and the
person with the other game would choose Chikorita, and the third would choose Totodile.
Then, get a Ditto, breed all of the starters, and trade them to each other to get all three.
Information in this section was contributed by Rebeccanmanley.
Hint: Original starters:

Win the Battle Frontier completely (Gold and Silver) and talk to Birch. He will give you one
of your choice.
Information in this section was contributed by Blake Magnus.
Hint: Recommended starter:
In the beginning of the game when Prof. Birch is in danger of being chased by a wild
Poochyena, Zigzagoon choose Mudkip as your starter Pokemon. If you do not choose
Mudkip, you will have a difficult time dealing with Flannery and her Fire Pokemon. If you
choose Torchic or Treecko, the battle will take longer. If you chose Mudkip, you can end the
gym battle in a few attacks. Just use Mud Shot. It is kind of like a Water attack, but stronger
and will deal more damage than Water Gun if your Swampert is at level 36.
Information in this section was contributed by Bobby Vadhanapanich.
Should start out with a Sceptile, because the champion Wallace has a Water type. Get it to
level 70.
Information in this section was contributed by asim shah.
Select Torchic as your starter. When you are first going from Rustboro to Mauville, you must
fight your rival. He or she is very difficult to defeat with a Mudkip or Sceptile. Also,
Blaziken is the strongest in the end.
Information in this section was contributed by Jordan Miller.
The two best Pokemon to have at the start are Lotad (his absorb can defeat Roxanne) and
Torchic (when he evolves, his Peck can defeat Brawly).
Information in this section was contributed by Billy Reddy.
Mudkip is the best starter because when it Evolves into a Marshtomp it becomes a Ground
and Water type Pokemon. If you want the best results out of all of the Gym leaders, then use
a Swampert. It cannot be hit by Electric moves and it works well against Fire type if taught
Ground moves.
Information in this section was contributed by Anthony Edwards.
Mudkip is the best starter for trainers that like to challenge Gym leaders. When it evolves it
becomes a Water and Ground type, which is helpful for the Electric gym and the Fire gym.
There are also many advantages to this type, because it cannot be hit by Electric
moves.Overall, Mudkip becomes the strongest starter.
Information in this section was contributed by Tony Crucial.
Hint: Mystery Gift option:

Enter any Pokemon Mart and go to the clipboard that is by the shop keeper on the counter.
Take the survey and enter in the words "LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL". The man will then
alert you that you can now have access to the Mystery Gift option, after saving. To make it
easier to find the word you are looking for, press Select, which will take you to A-Z mode,
then select the a letter to bring up a list of words, beginning with the first letter of the word
that it begins with.
Hint: Alakazam:
If evolved before level 33, Alakazam learns Calm Mind At level 33 as opposed to if it was a
Kadabra, when it learns Role Play. This means you do not have to waste your TM04.
Hint: Bagon:
Bagon is the first stage of Salamence (Drake's best Pokemon, which is Dragon and Flying
type). You can find it in the smallest room in Meteor Falls. On the rectangular piece of land,
you will find TM02 (Dragon Claw), which gives Attack 80 and Accuracey100. Bagon
evolves into Shellgon, then into Salamence. Salamence is like a fire dragon; cannot learn
water attacks; but can learn Flying, Fire, and Dragon attacks.
Information in this section was contributed by Userjh69059.
Bagon learns Dragon Claw (without the need for TM02) if it is kept from evolving until level
49.
Information in this section was contributed by Ray.
A Bagon normally cannot learn a water move. However, if you mate a Pokemon in the
Dragon egg group (level 42 Gyarados with Hydro Pump recommended) with a female Bagon,
and you will get a Bagon with Hydro Pump. Besides this water move, Bagon cannot learn
another one. This is your only chance to have a Bagon with the strongest water move.
Information in this section was contributed by Userjh69059.
Go to Meteor Falls and fing the room that is rectanglular with land, water, land. On the top
bit of land is an item. Run around of the top part and you will have a rare chance of finding
Bagon.
Information in this section was contributed by Clairespence69.
To get Bagon you must have the following: all 8 badges, HM 7 Waterfall, HM 3 Surf, a
Pokemon that knows Waterfall and Surf, and a few Ultra Balls. Go to Meteor Falls and move
up the waterfall. Go forward and there will be a cave opening. Enter it. Go to the ladder that
should be about ten steps ahead of you. Do not bother going up the first ladder which you see.
If you follow the path, there will be a ladder. Use it to move down. Their will be trainers once
you move down. Ignore the old people and go up to the other trainer. He will only have two
Altaria, which you get at Sky Pillar. After that, go down the sand piles and stay off to your
left or you will be at the begining. Move down that ladder on the left after all the sand and
surf until you see the cave opening. Then, surf across that water path and you will see a
Pokeball. It is not the Bagon. It is the TM Dragon Claw (strong move). Walk around on that
little dirt area and eventually, a Bagon will appear. Golbats also appear frequently. Once a
Bagon appears, it will may be a level 25, 30, or 35. It is also more likely to be male. Bagon
can learn the TM that you just obtained. Get your Bagon to at least level 30 and it will evolve
into a Shelgon. Once the Shelgon gets to level 50, you will have a Salamence. This Pokemon
can be your strongest if you train it well.
Information in this section was contributed by Mikey7829.
Hint: Beldum:
Because Wallace is the champion, you must fight Steven. Steven is inside Meteor Falls.
When you enter, go up the waterfall and into the door. Next, go down the ladder, then go to
the ladder in the south. Then, go inside the nearby door. Steven should be to the right. Note:
If you are going to battle him, you can defeat him with Water, Ice (for Cradily), and Fire
types for most of his Pokemon. He has Pokemon over level 70. .After you defeat him, go to
his house in Mossdeep to get the Beldum.
Information in this section was contributed by Andre.
Hint: Blazican: Recommended moves:

Recommended moves for Blazican are Double Kick (learns after evolving to Combuskin),
Fire Punch (learned from the Move Tutor; needs Heart Scale), Blaze Kick (learns after it
evolves from Blaxican), and Skyupercut (learned at levels 60 to 80).

Hint: Ditto:
You can catch Ditto, but only after you defeat the Elite Four. Go to the Desert Underpass. It
is only in the middle.

Use the following trick to double your starting Pokemon. When you defeat the Pokemon
League, go to the Fossil Maniac's house. Go into the desert under the pass. Catch a Ditto. Go
to Mauville's Pokemon Daycare. Put a Ditto and your starting Pokemon in. Go back to
Mauville and walk on its main road until the old man next to the house is outside of the fence.
Talk to him and you will receive a egg. Keep your Pokemon in there if you want more. Once
you hatch it, it will have the same type of the Pokemon you put in. You can easily beat all of
the trainers with a party of Sceptile, Swampert, or Blaziken. You can also double your other
Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by tyler daly.
Hint: Dragonite: Recommended moves:

Dragonite should have the moves Outrage, Flamethrower, Safeguard and Thunderbolt; Item:
Persim Berry; Nature: Modest; Trait: Shed Skin. Keep Safeguard up to prevent Outrage
causing confusion. Persim Berry stops confusion when the opponent uses Taunt and you
cannot use Safeguard. You can knock out opponents quickly with this set.
Information in this section was contributed by Alex.
Hint: Feebas:
A Feebas will appear on Route 119 (fishing), and will change position when you change the
cool phrase in Dewford. Blend Dry Berries and make Feebas eat them. After its beauty is full,
level up to get Milotic.
Information in this section was contributed by rlwisdom.
You can catch Feebas in Route 119 at the water patch beside the bird house. Go to the far left
as far as possible. Then, go down as far as possible. You should be at the rocks on the left.
Swim up to the second rock from the bottom. At the bottom of that rock, and face forward
(away from you). Use the Old Rod at this location.

Hint: Groudon:
Go back to the weather institute. Talk to the man again. He will tell you where Groudon is
found. You might need HM03 Surf. Go to the route where he is and go inside. You will find
Groudon in the Terra cave.
Information in this section was contributed by Gregory.
You should have at least 10 Ultra Balls. When you are battling Groudon, first use a strong
attack. Then you have at least a 90% chance of Groudon using rest. When it regains its
health, go for another strong move then Ultra ball if it escapes. You will have to do this all
over, but will probably catch Groudon this time.

Groudon is found on Route 114 near Fallarbor Town. Note: You must complete the Pokemon
League and have Waterfall and on level 70.
Information in this section was contributed by JCLOUD93.

Information in this section was contributed by gamefreakejp.
Hint: Kyogre:
Defeat the Elite Four, then go back to the weather institute. This is where you got Castform.
Go upstairs to a researcher who studies patters of weather. He will tell you where Kyogre is
found. You need HM03 Surf and HM07 Dive. Surf on the route you are supposed to until you
find a location to dive. Once you get to Kyogre in the Marine cave, get in front of him. Use
Net Balls on him.

you which route he is in. Make sure you have Surf and Dive. Then, Dive under beside Shoal
Cave. Save the game before going in front of him. Make sure you have a Master Ball or a

Kyogre is found on Route 129 near the first part of Ever Grande City. Note: You must
complete the Pokemon League and have Surf and Dive and on level 70.
Information in this section was contributed by JCLOUD93.
Hint: Latios or Latias:

After defeating the Elite Four, watch the television downstairs in your house. Mix your
records with a Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire with the Eon Ticket. Then, go to Southern Island.
First, find whichever one that the news reporters described on television. Catch it (preferably
with a Master Ball), then trade it to the Hoenn or Kanto versions. Then, start the game over
and do it again. Note: This is another easy way of getting Cyndaquil, Chikorita, and Totodile.
Information in this section was contributed by C Goodwin.
The best place to catch Latias or Latios is at Route 124. You will need Surf.
Information in this section was contributed by taylor.
Defet the Elite Four. After you do this, you will be in your room at your house. When you go
downstairs, your Dad and Mom will talk to you. You will then see a special on the television.
It will be about a Pokemon flying over Hoenn. After it is over, your Mom will ask you what
color the Pokemon was. You will have a choice of red (Latias) or blue (Latios). Choose one
of them, then go outside. Professor Birch will talk to you, then take you to his lab and give
you the National Dex. After this happens, fly to Mauville. Go in and out of the Pokemon
Center then go right towards the Berry Master's house. Surf across the water, and go past the
beach and the section of grass. There will be two trainers with yellow hair. Stand in front of
the trainer to the right, and not the one by the sign. Make sure that you are standing in front of
the trainer so that he is looking at you. Walk left and right in the grass. Do not go up or down;
stay in the row of grass until you find the Lati you chose. You should have A Master ball to
catch it because it will flee after the first turn.
Information in this section was contributed by Jay5908571.
If you chose Blue after you watch the TV after defeating the Elite Four for the first time,
Latios will be on the loose somewhere in Hoenn. If you face the Battle Tower Brain, Sailor
Maiden Anabel for the Gold Symbol in the Battle Frontier, she should use a Latios in her
party. After you defeat her, Latios will be in your Pokedex as a Pokemon that you have seen
but not caught. Using the "Area" feature on Latios' entry to track Latios around Hoenn, even
if you have not found him yet. Note: Latios is like the Legendary Dogs in Pokemon Gold,
Silver, and Crystal and will jump areas when you move from one place to another. Fly is not
recommended due to this behavior.
Information in this section was contributed by Skyle Kelvin.
To catch a Lati without fleeing, go to the Safari Zone. Catch a Wobbuffet. Store it as your
first party Pokemon. Once you find Latias or Latios it will not flee at the first turn. Try using
a Timer Ball the longer the battle. The best place to catch it is Route 118.
Information in this section was contributed by killer_ivan_06.
Hint: Legendary Dogs:
Catch Raikou, Suicune, and Entei in Pokemon Coliseum and trade them over.
Information in this section was contributed by kingness700.

Leftovers; Nature: Calm/Bold; Trait: Rain Dish. Use Rain Dance to restore HP using Rain
Dish. Use Leech Seed to drain the opponents's HP while recovering your own. Kill the
opponent with Surf. If you get low on HP use Giga Drain (this move has low PP and should
be used sparingly).
Hint: Meowith:
Go in the building to the left of the Battle Tower. Give the woman a Skitty and she will give
you a Meowith with Retro Mail. The higher the level of your Skitty, the better the Meowith,
which means you can get Persian faster.
Information in this section was contributed by megan.
Hint: Metagross:
Metagross can learn Meteor Mash at level 50. If you level a Metang to level 50 it will learn
Meteor Mash in the battle, then evolve it after the battle into Metagross. You will now have a
level 50 Metagross with Meteor Mash.
Hint: Mew:
The only way to get Mew in the game is by getting the Old Sea Chart. This is an item that is
only available through a special event outside the game.
Information in this section was contributed by Lorenaalen.
Hint: Nosepass:
Keep using Rock Smash until you enter a battle with a Nosepass.
Information in this section was contributed by Michael Black.
You have to break the rocks in the beginning of Granite cave. If you do not find one, keep
going back and forth. Encountering one is rare, and you will mostly run into Geodudes.
Information in this section was contributed by Adib M.
Nosepass can be found in Granite Cave by using Rock Smash. It appears roughly every third
encounter and will be between levels 10 and 20.
Hint: Pichu:
Get two Pikachus (male and female) or a Pikcachu and a Ditto . Breed the Pikachus or

Poliwhirl must hold the King's Rock in a trade. Once it gets to the other side it will evolve
into Politoed.
Information in this section was contributed by BOBBY VADHANAPANICH.
Hint: Rayquaza:
Go to Sky Pillar. When Groudon and Kyogre are fighting, he wakes up and stops the fight.
Once you have done that, go back to Sky Pillar to find Rayquaza. You can get to Sky Pillar
by going to Pacifidlog Town. Go right until you see a crack in the sea. Go into it. Note: Use a
Master Ball on it.
Information in this section was contributed by Jm22marlatt and Gregory.
Use the following trick to catch Rayquaza, Groudon and Kyogre easily. Get the Master Ball
and go to the Sky Pillar. Do not waste time on other Pokemon and go to the last floor. You
will need a free space in your Pokemon Party. Catch Rayquaza in the first turn with the
Master Ball. Do not waste time battling him. Rayquaza will be on level 70 and will know Fly,
Extremespeed, Outrage and another move. Get out of the tower and use Fly to go to Fallarbor
Town. Get a Pokemon that knows Surf and Waterfall. Go to Meteor Falls. Go to the water.
Surf and get up the Waterfall. Touch land and go down the stairs. Make your own way
through. There are two paths, one left and one right. Go to the left. If you go to the right, you
will find Steven and he will fight you. If you want to battle him you will need a strong
Pokemon of Water or Fire type. After five minutes on the left path, you will find the TM
Dragon Claw. Teach it to Rayquaza. Do not remove Fly nor Extremespeed. Also teach him
Thunderbolt. Again, do not remove Fly or Extremespeed. Then, defeat the Elite Four three
times. This will make Rayquaza reach level 75. Do not teach him Hyper Beam. After this,
find Land and Marine Cave. A man in Weather Institute will tell you where are these caves
are found. Go first to Land Cave. Get twenty Ultra Balls. When you enter the cave, save the
game. Battle Groudon. Use Dragon Claw first, then he will use Rest. Once again, use Dragon
Claw. Throw an Ultra Ball. If he does not use Rest, throw Pokeballs until he uses Rest. If you
kill it, reset the game. Use the same process to get Kyogre.
Information in this section was contributed by oP.
Make your way to Sky Pillar. You will need a level 42 Mightyena with Secret Power, Rock
Smash, Strength and Bite attacks. You will also need a Pokemon that is able to paralyze (for
example, a level 45 Raichu with Shockwave). You will also need nine Ultra Balls, a Timer
Ball, a Premier Ball, and a Nest Ball. First, try to paralyze Rayquaza. If unsuccessful, throw
an Ultra Ball at him. Hold Down while the ball is flying towards the Pokemon, then release
Down and hold A + B as soon as the Pokeball opens. Try this a few times. Remember to save
the game before fighting Rayquaza so that you can turn off the game and try again. Note:
Rayquaza is controllable if you have the last badge, and it should help you defeat the
Pokemon League easily, as well as be a great help on the Battle Frontier.
Information in this section was contributed by Taewoong Kim.
Hint: Regice:
The cave of Regice is northwest of Dewford island. There is Braille in the back of the cave of
Regice. The statement reads "Stay close to the wall. Run around the lap." You must run
around the room once while staying close to the wall. Once you reach the middle of the
Braille again, the door will open and the battle with the icy titan will begin when you go
through the door and press A next to it.
Information in this section was contributed by Aquarion102.
To catch Regice with minimum problems, use Yawn when you have chopped down its health
to the "danger" area. Then, proceed to use some of the mentioned ball tricks.
Information in this section was contributed by Lope.
Hint: Regirock:
To find the cave of the rock titan Regirock, you must have the Go-Goggles so that you may
enter the desert. Once in the desert, go south to the bottom and enter the cave. In the back you
will see the Braille in the back. Go to the back of the room and read it. The message
translated reads "Left, Left, Down, Down. Then use Rock Smash." From the middle of the
Braille on the wall move left, left, down, and down. Go with a Pokemon that knows Rock
Smash and use it. The cave door will open. Save the game, then start the battle with
Regirock. Note: Bring a lot of Ultra Balls.
Hint: Registeel:
To find the cave of Registeel, go to Lilycove City. Go west through the grass and trainers.
When you reach the area of the Safari Zone, keep moving. You will reach a place with a girl.
Just above her are stairs. You must go up. Go through the very tall grass and go up the stairs
behind it. The cave will not be too far after the stairs. Once inside, read the Braille at the back
of the room. It reads "Those who inherit our will, shine in the middle." The riddle means that
you should go to the middle of the room and use Flash. The cave door will open. Be careful
with Registeel. This Pokemon is more difficult than the others to capture. Try bringing a lot
of Ultra Balls or prolong the battle as long as you can by freezing it or putting it to sleep.
After many turns the Timer Ball will have gained a lot of strength, and it might work against
the Registeel.
Hint: Rollout:
Rollout's attack power is increased when you use Defense Curl first.
Hint: Salamence:
Salamence can learn Dragon Claw at level 50 if a Bagon is kept from evolving until level 49.
Bagon will learn Dragon Claw in the Battle. After the battle, let it evolve to Shelgon. Train
your level 49 Shelgon to level 50 and it will evolve into a Salamence with Dragon Claw.
Also, mate a Salamence with a Gyarados to get a Bagon with Hydro Pump.
Hint: Shedinja:
Capture a Nincada then leave one space in your party. Train your Nincada to level 20 and it
will evolve. Then, check your party and you will have a Shedinja with 1 hp and all the moves
your Ninjask has. Your Shedinja's ability is Wonder Guard, which will only allow super
effective attacks hit it.
Information in this section was contributed by morgan_smith.
Hint: Smeargle:
Once you have defeated the Elite Four with all Pokemon with your ID code, you can go to
the Battle Frontier. Once here, go to the southeastern-most side of the area. There should be a
tree that looks odd. Use the Wailmer Pail to water it. Soodoo Woodoo should attack. Catch it,
run, or kill it. Then, use Surf on the water where Soodoo Woodoo was located. Go down the
waterfall and go to the left. There should be a cave. In the cave is a Smeargle. It knows one
attack, Sketch. Sketch allows it to copy the last move that someone uses against it. Once you
have obtained one move for Smeargle, go to the move tutor and teach him Sketch again.
Then, go to a double battle and use Smeargle and the Pokemon that has the move you want
him to learn. He can learn anything mine knows Strength, Hyper Beam, Outrage, and
Thunder. repeat the step with the move tutor and he can learn any move.
Information in this section was contributed by Airhead91.
Hint: Smeargle: Elemental Blasts:

To teach the Elemental Blasts to another Pokemon, Smeargle, have him or her use Sketch.
You will need the Johto starters from Pokemon XD to do this. Catch a Smeargle that is at
least level 40. . Have the desired Johto starter first in your party after. Save first. Then, find a
Ditto. Have the Ditto use Transform and change into the Johto starter. Bring out Smeargle
and wait until Ditto uses the blast. Finally, use Sketch and you will now have Smeargle with
that move (if it does not miss). If Sketch misses, simply restart the process. Do this two more
times to have the others. To save leveling up, ask the Move Guru to re-teach Sketch to
Smeargle.

Hint: Sudowoodo:
Defeat the Elite Four, then go into your house. Talk to your dad and he will give you the S.S
Ticket. Go to the boat in Saltport City and select the battle port choice. Next, go to the
waterfall. There is a tree. Use Water Pail on it. Note: To get Water Pail, go to Rushmore City,
go straight down, and there is a little berry store. Go in it and talk to one of the people. They
will give you Water Pail.
Information in this section was contributed by Jm22marlatt.
Defeat the Elite Four. After you do this, you will be at your house. Your father should be
there. Talk to him and he will give you a ticket. Fly to Slateport City and go to where the boat
was under construction. The woman will ask where you want to go. Tell her Battle Frontier.
You will be in the boat. Unless you want to battle and do other things first, go to your bed. It
is in cabin two. When you wake up, you will be there. When you get inside the Battle
Frontier, go to the Battle Palace. Go down and you will see an old woman. Talk to her, then
go down. You will see a strange tree. Go up to it and use the Wailmer Pail. If you do not have
it then check your Pokenav and zoom it in. Move your pointer over to Rustboro City then go
down. It will say "Flower Shop". Fly to Rustboro and go to the flower shop. Talk to everyone
in there. Someone will give you the Wailmer Pail. Then, fly to the Battle Frontier. Go back to
the tree and use the Wailmer Pail on it, but save the game first. Zoodowoodo will attack once
you water it. It will be at level 40. It is Grass/Rock type. It will disappear once you catch it or
make it faint. You can then go down the waterfall and get into Artistian Cave. Inside are
Smeargles and a few items.

level between 12:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. To get Espeon, make Evee gain a level between
12:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.

Hint: Vulpix:
You can get a Vulpix by going to the top of Mt. Pye. It is rare but is more common before
you go into the part of Mt. Pye with the smoke. Do not attack. Use five Ultra Balls, one Poke
Ball, three Timerballs, and one Dive Ball. You can catch it with a Dive Ball instead of the
Timer Balls.

Hint: Wiscash:
Catch a male Barboach and female Electrike that knows Spark and put them in the Day Care
Center. When the Day Care man finds the egg, it should take awhile to hatch. Once it
hatches, Barboach should be at level 5 and should know Mud Slap and Spark. At the next
level it will learn Mud Sport and Water Sport. Go to the move deleter and get rid of Mud
Sport because it is useless. Train it to level 41 and teach it Fissure. It should know Fissure,
Water Sport and Spark. Then, after it evolves, teach it Ice Beam/Blizzard. Fight the Elite
Four. If the moves were used correctly, it can defeat all four of them without fainting. Note: It
is recommended that you train Wiscash before challenging them. By doing this it can get
used of using Fissure without failing.

awhile you will get an egg, which will hatch into a random Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by Brett Kolb.
Hint: Combos:
If you have Groudon, teach him Solarbeam. His ability will allow you to use Solarbeam
without charging it first. If you have Kyogre, teach him Thunder. His ability will allow you to
use Thunder without it ever missing its target. It will also be more powerful. Note: These
tactics are no good when fighting Rayquaza, as his "Airlock" ability will negate all weather
effects.
Information in this section was contributed by Pieter Moonen.
Hint: Baton Passers:
To pass on Attack: Ninjask with Swords Dance (this is also good for speed).
To pass on Defense: Mr. Mime with Barrier.
To pass on Speed: Ninjask (recommended) or Girafarigwith Agility (Ninjask also has Speed
Boost trait).
To pass on Special Defense: Gorebyss with Amnesia.
To pass on Special Attack: There are no moves that sharply increase Sp. Atk, so your best
chance would be an Espeon with Calm Mind (this also increases Special Defense).
Note: If you pass on Speed, in rain, to a Pokemon with the Swift Swim trait, or a Pokemon
with Chlorophyll in Sun, their speed will be increased even more.
Hint: Stop evolution:

To prevent your Pokemon from evolving, press B while it is transforming into its next stage.

the Elite Four. At the start of each battle, switch your Pokemon with Exp. Share on it with a
legendary one. Continue battling with other legendary Pokemon until your Pokemon evolves.

separately, their Pokemon are less powerful.
Information in this section was contributed by Zuriki.

The Safari Zone is the same as the one in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. The only difference is
that after you defeat the Elite Four, two more areas appear full of Johto Pokemon that you
could not get in any other games (besides Pokemon Colosseum).

Hint: Claw and Root Fossil:

Go into the desert. Go to the Mirage Tower when it appears. Note: You will need the Mach
Bike for this because it like Sky Pillar. If you choose any of them, they will get buried. To get
the opposite, one go to Route 14 (by Fallarbor Town). Go to the Fossil Maniac and go to the
cave that he said has collapsed. Then, go in at the end. Note: You can get Ditto there. The
Claw or Root Fossil will be there.
Go to the desert between Falabor and Lavaridge Town. Find Mirrage Tower and enter it with

Maniac's house. Go to the back, and head towards the cave. Once in the cave, go up two
steps, get on your bike, then move straight to the right. You will eventually reach the other

Route 111 in the Desert. After you defeat the Pokemon League, get on the ferry boat The S.S.
Tidal with the S.S. Ticket which you obtain after defeating the Pokemon League from your
father. Scott will tell you that the next time you get on the ferry, you will have the option to
go to the Battle Frontier. When you have reached your destination, talk to the lady next to the
ferry. She will give you the option to go to the Battle Frontier. Choose to go there. When you
arrive, go in the building and Scott will arrive. After that the lady that greeted you will
explain things. Exit the building at the opposite end you entered and enter the Battle Frontier.
Go to Scott's house, which is located two houses to the left of the Battle Tower. He will give
you three Battle Points. Stay there until you see that one of the Gym leaders wants a rematch.
Battle them. Then, wait for the next Gym leader. Battle them. Then, go to Fallarbor Town.
Go to the Fossil Maniac's house on Route 114 to the left of Fallarbor Town. Enter and go to
the Fossil Maniac. Keep walking until he tells you not to go in because he thought there were
no fossils. Enter the cave that you see. This is the Desert Underpass. There you will
encounter Ditto and other Pokemon for the first time. Go as far to the right in the cave as
possible until you see a Fossil. Go up to it, and you will discover that it is the opposite from
the one that you found in Mirage Tower on Route 111 in the Desert. Pick it up and go to
Rustboro. Once there, go to the second floor of Devon and talk to the man at the bottom right
of the screen. He will tell you that he is working on a device to resurrect fossils of Pokemon.
He will ask if he can resurrect your Fossil. Answer "Yes". Go to the Pokemon Center and
make a space in your party. Go back to the same person and you will get the opposite
Pokemon; if you picked Claw Fossil you will get Root Fossil and vice versa.
Information in this section was contributed by Chapman Harmstad.
When you go to the Mirage Tower and pick up one of the two Fossils, the other is lost. Once
you defeat the Elite Four, go to the Fossil Maniac's house (Route 114). Go into his little
tunnel. At the end there is another tunnel. Go in it. Go to the very end and you will find the
Fossil that you did not get earlier. Note: This is also the only place that you can catch Dittos.
Information in this section was contributed by dragonmasterjack.
Hint: Dark Glasses:

After defeating the boy or girl on Route 110, you are able to enter Mauville City (after some
trainers). Make your way to Verdanturf Town. You will enter a tunnel at the top of
Verdanturf Town. When you are inside the tunnel, there should be two ways to go: a path that
leads you to another open spot and another that leads you to Rustboro City. Take the path that
leads you to an open spot. There should be a person that asks you to help him find his glasses.
Use the Itemfinder. It should ring. Look around the trees on the bottom. Press A around the
grass and you will find the Dark Glasses. Talk to the person and he will say that they are not
his glasses. He gives up and walks away. You now own the Dark Glasses.

chair he was sitting on. You should find a Nugget.
Information in this section was contributed by Travis Jenson.
Hint: Paintings:
To get the paintings for the second floor of the Lilycove Art Museum, you have to win a
Master Rank contest. The Pokemon you win the contest with must have that specific "trait"
(Tough, Beauty, Cool, Cute or Smart) maxed out. The easiest way to do this is to give them
PokeBlocks of the desired trait. One way to guarantee the color of the Pokeblock is to use the
Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst or Aspear in the blending. After you win the Master Rank with
the maxed-out Pokemon, an artist will come out of the contest room. He will tell you how
great your Pokemon looked and that it inspired him to paint even better than usual. He will
give you a ribbon, then go to put it in the museum. People should start gathering on the top
floor after the second painting is put in.

does not hurt your Pokemon. It should last about two days. After it has worn off, it will leave
a small dot beside the Pokeball that you caught it with.

you the Super Rod.
Hint: Televisions:

Pokemon (such as Surskit and Lunatone) are at some point. Try going to the small house
things at the Battle Frontier (only if you have defeated The Elite Four).

Hint: Thunderbolt:
After defeating the Elite Four, go to Mauville. Find Wattson the Mauville gym leader.He will
be outside, standing between the Pokemon Center and the bike shop. Talk to him and he will
tell you about an underground place called New Mauville. Once he has given you the
Basement Key to shut off the generator down there, go south of Mauville to Route 110. When
you are at the Seaside Cycling Road entrance, look south of it. You should see a place
between some trees where you can surf. Use Surf, and once out on the water, move to your

generator, and shut it off. Then, go back to Mauville and talk to Wattson. He will give you
TM24 Thunderbolt.

find a cave. You will find Voltorbs, Magnemite, and Magnetons. It is recommended that you
use a repel. Collect all items you see, but be careful. About three of the Pokeballs will be
Voltorbs. Once you have turned off the generator, there will be a ball there. Get it and that is
your Thunder Stone. The second methid is slightly difficult. If you find any shards, check its
color. The color is the stone that will you get. You must fly to Mossdeep City and talk to
every person in every house. Note: They change houses frequently. Talk to them and give
them your shard to get your stone.

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.
Information in this section was contributed by brig cool hop.
Hint: Volt Tackle move:

Volt Tackle is the electric type double edge. To get it, catch Pikachus in the Safari Zone until
you catch one that has a Light Ball. Note: It is much easier to find Pikachus if you have a
Pokemon with the ability Static in front of your party. Then, breed Pikachus with one holding
the Light Ball. The baby Pichu will have Volt Tackle as one of its moves.
Information in this section was contributed by Eric Mikalauskas.
Hint: Easy experience:

Attach Exp Share. Put the Pokemon you want to gain experience in front of party, then fight
someone. When the battle starts, switch it out for a better Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by Libby Kiyak.
At the start of the game, train your starter in the grasses from Littleroot Town to where you
fight your rival for your first time.
Fight the Elite Four three times a day.

Fight all of the trainers that have a Poke thing next to their name.
Fight all of the gym leaders again.

Whenever you put a Pokemon in the Daycare Center, the experience it gets is determined on
how many steps you take. In order to get a lot of experience, get on your bike. Go to the bike
trail and keep going back and forth. It will add more experience because you will be taking
more steps, and that is an easy place to ride. As a result your Pokemon will get a lot of
experience, gain levels, and become strong.
Information in this section was contributed by Pikachu292.
Do not use Rare Candys or the Daycare to level your Pokemon at lower levels such as
level60 or lower. This makes your Pokemon weaker. Instead, fight the television people.
They use Exploud and Magnaton Double Battle. Have the Pokemon that you want to level up
first with exp. Share and the other Pokemon with Amulet Coin that knows a move that hurts
both opponent's Pokemon at the same time. The little Pokemon will gain 1000 experience per
kill plus 7,000 coins.
Information in this section was contributed by meanmachine007.
Hint: Easy money:

To make money quickly, defeat the Elite Four with a Pokemon that is holding the Amulet
Coin. Note: If your Pokemon faints, as long as it fought in the current battle you will still earn
double the money you would normally. To continue this process if your Pokemon faints, at
the end of the battle, just equip it to another Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by Mcadoogenery7.
Have Zigzagoon or Linoone in your party. During your quests check the Pokemon menu by
pressing Start and select the word "Pokemon". If Zigzagoon/Linoone shows an indication
that it is holding an item take it. The following are possible items you can get. If you do not
need the items, sell them for extra money. Note: It is recommended to have him join your
team because he can learn Electric attack moves.
Information in this section was contributed by Arc bLAde08.
Zigzagoon
Common: Full heal, Antidote, Escape Rope, and Repel
Rare: Rare Candy and Nugget
Linoone
Common: Ultra Ball, Great Ball and X Attack
Rare: Nugget and Rare Candy
Hint: Easy catches:

Whenever you want to catch a wild Pokemon, you should first get one of your Pokemon to
use moves such as Leer, Growl, and Flash. This will weaken your opponent. Attacking it
might also help, but make sure that you do not defeat it. Also bring many Pokeballs with you.
When you throw a ball at a Pokemon, quickly tap B continuously.

Information in this section was contributed by Alec.
Hint: Easy wins:

This trick requires a Shedinja, a Pokemon that knows Skill Swap, and a Ghost-Dark hybrid,
and can only be used in a double battle. Enter the Shedinja and the Pokemon that knows Skill
swap into battle first. Have the Pokemon that knows Skill swap use it on Shedinja. Then,
switch Shedinja out with your Ghost-Dark hybrid, and have the Pokemon who knows Skill
Swap use it on your Ghost-Dark hybrid. Because no move can deal Super Effective damage
to a Ghost-Dark hybrid, using this trick to swap Shedinja's Wonderguard over to one will
make it completely invincible. However, even with Wonderguard, the Ghost-Dark hybrid will
only be invulnerable to attacks. This means that special conditions, recoil, etc. will still do
damage to it.
Information in this section was contributed by Samuel Clifton.
Hint: Easy healing without a Pokemon Center:

If there is a PC around, deposit all your Pokemon using "Move Pokemon". Get a pokemon
you do not need. You must do this because you cannot put in all six Pokemon at once. Then,
turn off the PC and log off it completely. Immediately get back on and get your Pokemon
again. They should now have maximum PP and HP.
Hint: Heal easily with a Cacnea or a Cacturne:

Get a Cacnea or a Cacturne and level it up so that it learns Leech Seed, Ingrain and Absorb.
Next, get the item "Leftovers" and have Cacnea or Cacturne hold it. Use Leech Seed, then
use Ingrain, and keep doing Absorb or another attack. At the end of each turn, Leftovers will
also give you some HP. You can also have Cacturne or Cacnea use Sandstorm. This does
some damage and also increases Cancea's or Cacturne's evasion (because of Sand Veil).

Hint: Hatch eggs faster:

Note: This trick works for hatching eggs as well as boosting up your Daycare Center
Pokemon's experience. First, make sure you have the Mach bike so that you can go faster. Fly
to Mauville City. Go in front of the town sign, then get on your bike. Go as far left as you
can, then back to the right and repeat. You will get a lot of steps very quickly because it is a
long ride with nothing to bump into, which will make your Pokemon grow faster. It usually
takes about five minutes of this to hatch an egg.
Information in this section was contributed by Moversgirl.
When trying to hatch eggs faster, place a Pokemon in your party whose ability is either Flame
Body or 'Magma Armor (for example, Slugma or Macargo). The ambient heat will incubate
the egg and cause it to hatch twice as fast.

Hint: Refill PP without using Ether or Elixir:

Note: This trick can only be done is the move is a TM. It can not be a HM. Delete the move
you wish to be refilled with another TM. After you have done this, change the move you have
just taught your Pokemon with the first move. For example, if you want to refill your Fire
Blast and do not have any Ethers or Elixirs, change Fire Blast with Flamethrower. Then,
teach your Pokemon Fire Blast with a TM. This can be done as many times as desired, as you
have enough TMs.

Hint: Battle Frontier:

You should use different Pokemon roles for different battle facilities.
Battle Tower: Try a Sweeper, a Drainer and another tactical position (Tank, Toxicshuffler
etc.)
Battle Arena: Sweepers: one Physical, one Special, one Mixed.
Battle Pyramid: Use two Sweepers and a Criti-Ken (Blaziken set) as he is good for the Boss.
Battle Factory: The Rental Pokemon are the only option, but make sure you use good sets.
Pokemon that have Toxic are useful.
Battle Palace: Sweepers are your best option. Make sure the Physicals have Adamant Nature
and the Specials have Modest Nature. Do not use Mixed Sweepers. This facility is all about
natures. There is a little girl in a house somewhere who tells you what your Pokemon like to
do in the Battle Palace. If she says "It likes to battle", it will use attacking moves most often.
If she says "It looks after itself", it mostly uses moves such as Protect, or ones that raises its
stats. If she says "It likes to be sneaky", it mostly uses moves that inflict status conditions on
the opponent or lower its stats. Sometimes she will say "If it gets enough ouchies, it will do
something different". This means that when its HP gets below half, it will do what she says
(above).
Battle Dome: Tanks and Sweepers are best.
Battle Pike: Sweepers.
Hint: Easy Tough Contest wins:

Catch a Mawile in the wild, or have one traded from another version. Train it. At level 41,
Mawile will want to learn Iron Defense. Teach it Iron Defense. At level 46, Mawile will want
to learn Stockpile, Swallow, and Spit Up. Teach it all three of those moves without making it
forget Iron Defense. Then, max out its Tough condition. After that, go to the chairman of the
Pokemon Fan Club with your Mawile in the lead. If you maxed out its Tough condition, he
should give you a Yellow Scarf. Give it to Mawile. Then, take part in a Tough Contest. Have
Mawile do moves in the following order: Stockpile, Swallow, Stockpile, Spit Up, Iron
Defense. If you follow these steps exactly, you will win even the Master Rank contests
without much of a problem.
Hint: Easy Battle Dome wins:

Get an Absol level 50 that knows Perish Song and an Exploud that knows Protect and Double
Team. On the first turn use Perish Song and Double Team. Then with Exploud use Protect,
then Double Team, etc. After three turns, all Pokemon will faint except fir Exploud.

Hint: Finding the Team Aqua leader:

Go to the Team Aqua hideout right off Lilycove City before you have been to Magmas
Hideout on Jagged Pass. Inside, there are two Team Aqua members. One tells you where
Archie is, and the other tells what he is doing.
Information in this section was contributed by Ella McIntosh.
Hint Trick Master hiding places:
The Trick Master's house is located at Route 110.
Maze 1: Go to the top right corner of the table and select it.
Maze 2: Go to the right plant.
Maze 3: Go to the right drawer (without the mirror).
Maze 4: Go to the left window.
Maze 5: Go to the left plant.
Maze 6: Go to the mirror on the right.
Maze 7: Go to the right window.
Maze 8: Go to the left bottom cushion and select it. He is there, but invisible.
Note: In some of the mazes you will need an HM Move to get through. The HM moves you
will need are Cut (for Maze 1), Rock Smash (for Maze 3), and Strength (for Maze 4).
Hint: Defeating Flannery:

If you do not have Mudkip for your starter Pokemon, catch a Tailow or a Swellow. Make
sure it is level 32 or higher and knows Wing Attack. When she sends out Camerupt (her third
Pokemon), she will probably tell it to use Earthquake. Tailow and Swellow are Flying-type
Pokemon. Wing Attack does well against Fire-type Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by hurley.
Hint: Defeating Leader Juan:

The last gym leader is very difficult to defeat and may just be harder than the champion
himself. Four of his Pokemon are relatively easy to defeat. First, he will use Luvdisc. It can
be defeated with one strong Electric attack (preferably Thunderbolt). Next, he will use
Whiscash. Do not use Electric attacks because Whiscash is also a Ground type. Defeat him
using a Grass type (a Water type can also be used). He will then use Walrein. Again, a strong
Electric attack should do. His fourth Pokemon is a Water/Dark type. An Electric or a Fighting
type can defeat it with ease. The last of his Pokemon is a level 46 Kingdra. It mostly uses
Double Team, so you cannot hit him, and if you manage to hurt him he will use Rest to
recover. Other than that, he attacks with Ice Beam and Water Pulse. Your best chance is to
have a fast Pokemon (preferably a Crobat or Absol) and teach it Taunt. Make sure you can
use Taunt before Kingdra starts to use Double Team. If Taunt works, he can only use Ice
Beam or Water Pulse and a few decent Ice or Dragon type attacks should take him out.
Information in this section was contributed by Pieter Moonen.
Hint: Defeating the Pike Queen:

The Battle Pike is at the Siviper by the Pokemon Center on the left. When you defeat it at
open level or level 50, the lady who tells you directions will say that a horrible fate is about to
befall you. When you go into a room. she might heal one or two of your Pokemon. You will
then battle the Pike Queen. Note: She will have Siviper, Shuckle and Milotic. Try using a
Psychic Pokemon such as Alakazam, with Psychic and Thunderpunch.
Get a Houndoom at level 50 give it the moves Flamethrower, Taunt, Double-Edge, and Faint
attack. Then, get a Ampharos with Thunderbolt, Strength, Mega Punch, and Dynamic Punch.
Get a Quassire with Surf, Earthquake, Ice Beam, and Slam. All the first forms of the three
Pokemon are found in the Safari Zone after the Pokemon League. First, use Houndoom's
Flamethrower two times on Seviper. Be wary of Seviper's move Swagger. Then, switch
Houndoom with Ampharos, because the next pokemon is Milotic (a Water type). Use
Thunderbolt until it faints. Her last Pokemon is Shuckle. The Pokemon has no attack moves.
It has Rest and Toxic. Bring out Houndoom and first use Taunt and Flamethrower. Use Taunt
after Flamethrower, then repeat that in a pattern until it faints. If you use Taunt, Shuckle uses
Struggle. You will then probably get the Luck Symbol.

Hint: Defeating the Elite Four:

Take a normal level Pokemon with a one hit K.O. move and a lock on move. Also have a
large number of Ethers and Max Potions. Just lock on and attack for and easy K.O.
Information in this section was contributed by Ben Kugler.
Use the following Pokemon against the Elite Four:

Information in this section was contributed by Hksnowqueen243.
Electric: Raichu
Grass: Ludicolo
Fighting: Hariyama
Ice: Walrein
Water: Sharpedo
Ghost: Banette
To defeat Drake The Dragon Master, make sure you have a level 80 Rayquaza. Use the TM
Dragon Claw on it. Once you fight Drake The Dragon Master, use Dragon Claw on all of his
Pokemon. All of them should faint. You can then move on to Wallace the champion.
Information in this section was contributed by killer_ivan_06.
Make sure you have a level 79 Kyogre, level 73 Groudon, and level 83 Raquaza (in that
order) in your party. For first two Elites, use Kyogre (Hydro Pump and Water Spout). For the
Ice, use Groudon (Solar Beam and Fire Blast). For the dragon Elite, use Raquaza (Dragon
Claw on all). Use Raquaza for Wallace (Dragon Claw on Wailord, and try Fire Blast or
Hyper Beam on the rest).
Information in this section was contributed by STARSKY10265.
Sidney has a Shiftry and a Cacturn. Get Swampert to use Earthquake and they should die in
two turns. Phoebe has Ghost type Pokemon. Have Swampert use Muddy Water and they
should die in two or three turns. Note: Surf is also good; teach it to Tentacruel. Glacia has Ice
type Pokemon. Use Swampert's Earthquake and they should die in one or two turns. Note:
Have a Walrein use Earthquake. This is optional if you do not have two Pokemon with
Earthquake. The battle will take longer. Have a lot of Max Potions. Drake has a Salamance.
Have a Pokemon use Dragon Breath (Flygon recommended). For Shelgon, use Muddy Water.
For Wallace, use Earthquake for all except Garadose. For him, use Water Gun and Muddy
Water.
Information in this section was contributed by Harry Buck.
First, get through Victory Road. Then, heal up at the Pokemon Center. Check the levels of all
the Pokemon in your party. Train all Pokemon in your party up to level 50 or higher. Save the
game at the entrance that you use to get into the rooms to fight the Elite Four when ready.
The rest is purely up to skill and chance. After you defeat an Elite Four member, save the
game. If you lose to the next member, turn off the game and go back to the saved game after
the last member was defeated. This will keep your prize money in your pocket, and bring
back any health restoration items that you may have used.

Hint: Secondary pokemon abilities:

There are several abilities that have a secondary effect.
Static: Makes wild Electric-type Pokemon appear more often in the field if user is first in the
party.
Magnet Pull: Makes wild Steel-type Pokemon appear more often in the field if user is first in
the party.
Swarm: Pokemon cry in the background more often in the field.
Compoundeyes: Draws wild Pokemon holding items more often if user is first in the party.
Intimidate/Keen Eye: Decreases the chance of a wild Pokemon encounter by 10% if user is
first in the party.
Hustle: Wild Pokemon are more likely to have a higher level than the Pokemon that knows
Hustle (which must be first in the party).
Cute Charm: Increases chance of the wild Pokemon being of the opposite gender to the
Pokemon with Cute Charm (which must be first in the party).
Lightningrod: You wil get calls on your PokeNav from registered trainers more often.
Synchronize: If Synchronizer is first in the party, wild Pokemon have a 50% chance of being
the same nature as the Synchronizer.
Hint: Factory Head Nolan:

After 21 consecutive wins (1 on 1 only), The Factory Head, Nolan will battle you. He uses
rental Pokemon as well. You cannot determine what Pokemon he is going to use.
Information in this section was contributed by DarkZrex911.
Hint: Stronger Rollout move:

When you have a Pokemon with Rollout, using the move Defense Curl before using Rollout
will boost the attack of Rollout by X1. For example, Marill will learn Defense Curl at level 3,
then will learn Rollout at level 15.
Information in this section was contributed by Nate Drier.
Hint: Finding new Pokemon:

If you are working on your Pokedex and cannot seem to find the Pokemon you need to
complete it, enter the appealing contests in Lilycove City. When you enter, there could be
Pokemon that you cannot find in the wild, only from trainers.
Information in this section was contributed by Otao333.
Use the Match Call on your Pokenav and wait for your opponent to train their Pokemon to
evolve into ones that you have not seen yet. When this happens, battle them.
Information in this section was contributed by Otao333.
Hint: Avoid Brawly:
If you have reached Dewford and battled everyone you can but cannot defeat Brawly, go
through the Granite Cave and give the letter to Steven. It is possible to get through without
Flash. Once you leave the cave, talk to Mr. Briney. He will now take you to Slateport. You
can now train your Pokemon at Slateport and continue in the game without battling Brawly.
If you do not have a Pokemon that is effective against Fighting types, catch a Zubat in the
Granite Cave. Then get it to level 21 and have it learn Wing Attack. It is very effective
against Brawly's Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by jack woodrup.
Hint: Getting through Dewford Gym easily:

Catch a Sableye or have one traded. Battle using only it throughout the entire gym.
Alternately if you picked Torchic, keep Combusken from forgetting Peck, which is strong
against Fighting types.
Hint: Contest emphasis:

Category: Moves not to use

Cool Contest: Beauty and tough moves
Beauty Contest: Cool and cute
Cute Contest: Beauty and smart
Smart Contest: Cute and tough
Tough Contest: Cool and smart
Hint: Easy badges:

Before battling a gym leader, you always want to win on the first try. Before you challenge a
gym leader. find out the type of Pokemon they have. Try to find an advantage. For example,
if you are battling a Rock Pokemon. send a Grass type Pokemon to fight. Also try to raise
your Pokemon's level by at least 8. If you still cannot get the badge, raise the level more.
Hint: Secret badges:

After defeating the Elite 4 you will get one secret badge. Battle Scott, and he also will give
one as well, and so will Wally.
Information in this section was contributed by Daniel Bouma-Higgins.
Hint: Missing Pokemon:

The following Pokemon are not found in the game and must be traded from a different
version.
Surksit
Masquerain
Meditite
Medicham

Information in this section was contributed by JOBIN95.
If you wish to have a power-house team go with all legendaries, such as Rayquaza, Kyogre,
Groudon, Laltias, Latios, etc., all at level 100. If you wish to fight with your friends or in
competitions, use mixed teams with different uses than just attacks. For example, try a
Ninjask and teach it Substitute and Baton Pass. The other could be Swords Dance and an
attack such as Aerial Ace (+Stab bonus). Stall your opponent by substituting and after a few
turns Baton Pass to a very strong slow Pokemon. Ninjask's Speed Boost will give the speed to
the strong Pokemon and allow him to rip through your opponent's team XD. A simple setup
is as follows.
Ninjask
Lonely Nature @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Speed Boost
252 ATT EVs
252 Speed EVs or 252 HP EVs
Aerial Ace/Silver Wind
Swords Dance
Substitute
Baton Pass
Marowak
Lonely Nature @ Thick Club (ATTx2)
Trait: Rock Head
252 ATT EVs
252 Speed EVs
Hidden Power Ghost
Bonemerang
Double Edge
Brick Break
Every turn that Ninjask stalls, he will get +50% of the original speed and the Liechi Berry
will increase its attack +50%. Baton Pass these stats to Marowak for an attack +/-
(280x2)+50%=840 ATT. Also, it is maxed out Speed will be after 4 subs +/- 185+200% =
555 Speed. This will wipe out almost everything. Try to save Ninjaks's Sub for protected
Carnage.

your partner's Pokemon will change genders between battles.

Glitch: Easy catch with Greatball:

Use a Greatball on a first stage Pokemon. When the Pokeball opens around the Pokemon,
turn off the game. When you turn it on again, it should be caught. This also works on
Legendary Pokemon.

Glitch: ??:
Battle Pickniker Diana and Annie. You might notice that they are training a Pokemon named
"??". It looks like two large white pixelated question marks. Your game will freeze. Restart
the game then, go to Route 116. You will find a "??" at random. "??" has no special ability
and only knows "Tackle".

Glitch: Dialogue mistake:

In the battle tent at Fallarbor town is a girl who says that her favorite battle tent is the one in
Fallarbor because the trainers have put their faith in their Pokemon. She is actually talking
about the one in Verdanturf Town.

Glitch: Duplicate Pokemon:

To do this trick you must have access to the Battle Frontier. Go to the Battle Tower. Go to the
PC in the corner. Put the Pokemon to be duplicated in the PC then save. Withdraw the
Pokemon. Talk to the woman behind the counter on the far right. When asked if you want to
save, say "No", then reset. When you regain control of your character you should be in front
of the counter where you said "No". Go to the PC and the Pokemon should be in your party
where you deposited them. Note: Duplicate only five Pokemon at a time. If you move other
Pokemon in the PC while you are duplicating, the non-cloning Pokemon will be deleted.
