A Secret Truck
You will have to have a friend with a Pokémon with strength and surf for this. Before you go to the S.S. Anne, trade your friend for a Pokémon with strength and surf. Now go to the dock in front of the S.S. Anne and surf to the right, until you see a truck on an island, go ashore, and there it is! Does absolutely nothing tho... (rumors about moving this truck are false)


Free Pokéballs/Ghost Computer:

In Celedon City go to the hotel in the bottom right corner and go inside. Face where the computer would be in a Pokémon Center and press A. The same screen should come up that appears when you use the PC in the Pokémon Center.

At a Pokémart, select buy, then select Pokéballs, set the quantity to 3 and no money will be taken. You can do this up until you have 99 Pokéballs.


Get Eevee
In Celedon City, go behind the mansion and find the secret door. Once you're inside, go up the stairs and get the Pokéball on the table. Inside the Pokéball is an Eevee, which can be evolved into any of three types of Pokémon depending on which stone you use on it. A thunder stone will give you a Jolteon, a fire stone will give you a Flareon, and a water stone will give you a Vaporeon.


Special Pokémon
There are many trainers who you can trade with, but there are five certain ones where you get special Pokémon only from them.

Location: Cerulean City, He will trade Jynx for Poliwhirl. Jynx is nicknamed "LOLA".
Location: Vermilion City, He will trade Farfetch'd fo Spearow. Farfetch'd is nicknamed "DUX".

Battle Safari Zone Pokémon
If you want to battle! Pokémon from the Safari Zone, first go to the Safari Zone and pick the area with the rare Pokémon you would like to catch. Wait for time to run out. Exit the building and fly to Cinnabar Island. DON'T battle any other Pokémon. On the island, go to the east side. Use surf. Go up and down that side, and only that side of the island. You will encounter Pokémon from the Safari Zone.


Harder Hitting Attacks
This code is sorta like the "Better Chance to Catch Pokémon" code but it's for attack. Just hold the A button while your attacking and it will do more damage than if you didn't hold A.


Clone Pokémon
You need a friend for this. Trade the Pokémon to be cloned and have you friend get a Pokémon they dont care about. Trade them, and make sure the person getting the bad pokemon can see the other's screen. When the reciever of the good Pokémon's screen says "waiting", get ready to shut the other one off. When waiting disapears, turn off the Game Boy that's getting the bad Pokémon. When the other one says trade completed, turn that one off too. When you turn the games back on, you should both have the Pokémon.


Celadon City Slot Tip
All of the slot machines have different odds, which change every time. Play each machine 4 times, and if it hits 2 or more, then stick with that one, because it's probably hot. If the slow machine forces you really close to a 777 or Bar Bar Bar it will probably give you one or the other soon.


Cut Down Grassy Areas
Once you get the HM "cut", your pokemon can cut down grassy areas. Use "cut" and it will cut a two by two area. Wild Pokemon will not attack you in the area you cut.


Easy Level Gain
To easily gain experience, simply switch the Pokémon you want to train with the top Pokémon on your list. When you go into battle the Pokémon will pop out. You can then switch to another Pokémon. Once you win the battle the beginning Pokémon and the fighting Pokémon will both gain experience points.


Fight Land Creatures in Water
To fight creatures that normally live on land in water, go to the water around Cinnabar Island or Seafoam Islands (The only place you can be randomly attacked while swimming.) Swim along the shore of any island and you will fight land creatures. (You have to swim on a place where the square is half land and half water.) Instead of fighting a set group of monsters in the water, you actually fight monsters from the last place you were. So to get safari zone monsters, you need to go to the section of the safari zone with that monster, let your time run out, then go to the coast. Using this trick you can catch Kangaskhan, Scyther, and Tauros.


Get Mewtwo
After you have gotten all eight of your badges you need to go beat the pokemon league. The credits will roll, then the menu pops up again. DO NOT RESET THE GAME!!!! Go to Cerulean City, then go north to the brige where you faced 5 trainers before the path to Bill's house. Turn left and there will be a large area of water. Surf until you get to a cave. You will find Mewtwo in that cave.


Get Omanyte, Aerodactyal and Kabuto
To get Aerodactyal and Omanyte or Kabuto you must first collect two out of three items. In Mt. Moon, before the exit, there is a guy you have to fight. If you when, you get the choice of two fossils. The one on the left is the Dome Fossil, which gives you Kabuto. The one on the right is the Helix Fossil, which gives you Omanyte. Go back to Pewter City, and cut the bush near the Museum. Go through the back door and speak to the guy near the sphere. He'll give you Old Amber, which gives you Aerodactyal. To get these extinct pokemon, you most beat Koga in Fushcia City and get HM05 in Safari's Zone's secret house. HM05 teaches Surf, in which you can ride a water pokemon. Go back to Pallet after getting HM05 and the soul badge. Surf down the water way south of pallet until you reach Cinnibar Island. Enter the building to the left of the pokemon center. Proceed right until you reach the last door. Enter the door and speak to the man at the top. Give him either the Helix fossil, Dome Fossil or Old Amber. Leave, re-enter and he'll give you the corresponding pokemon.


Get Rapidash
First off, there are no wild Rapidash. None. Zilch. Zip. To get a Rapidash you must get a Ponyta from the abandoned warehouse in Cinnabar Island and then raise it to level 40. At that time it will start to evolve into the fastest pokémon of the world. Rapidash!


Hidden Pokémon
There are three pokémon that are hidden in the game. The pokémon are Zapdos, Mortles, and Artincuno.

Zapdos can be found in the Power Plant by Cerulean City. Go on route 9, the area near the Rock Tunnel which you needed Flash for. Make sure you have the SURF abilty. Once you have surf go to the area where Route 9 ends. Go to the water and use surf. Keep going down and you'll see an opening where the rocks brek to open land, go on that and you'll see a big building. Go in there a keep walking around untill you see a bird pokémon standing there. Save your game and then fight the bird. Capture it, then its on too Fuchsia City!

If you have fly go to the Fuchsia City gate on the left. You'll see a few little jumpable cliffs. Go to the edge of the water and use surf. Keep going left and you should see some islands. Go in the cave on the islands. You must have strength to get this next bird. Once in the cave find you way through the cave pushing all the rocks down the holes. This is important because you need to stop the current flow down below in the cave. Once you find you way to another bird pokémon, do the same as before. This is going to be Articuno.

The final pokémon is Moltres, who an be found once you have all eight badges. After you have all the badges go to Victory Road at the Pokémon League. Make you way through the cave and you should see another bird pokémon. Repeat the same steps as you did for the other pokémon. NOTE: These pokémon aren't hard to see. They just stand there waiting. Be sure to save before you fight them as they only appear once in the game.


Secret Coins
At the Game Corner there are secret coins lying around. You can get these coins by walking around and pressing the A button.


Snorlax Cheat
Some people think Snorlax can only be caught with an ultra ball. But there is another way.
