Fixed the guide!

How to access Cerulean Cave easily for newbies: The Guide! Welcome, everyone! This guide came as an idea as everyone seems to spend their first two to three hundred hours exploring the game but don’t find out a way to unlock Cerulean Cave. A lot of people struggle with the requirements: Johto Elite 4 (which is actually pretty hard, considering Johto’s punishing level curve although it was recently fixed, beating the region without external help is pretty insane), 240 Pokemon caught (while realistically acheivable, it’s around a 4th of all Pokemon in existence. It’s a LOT of Pokemon to take into account), 200k Pokedollars (this is the main issue: most people have no idea how to make money and save it without buying something overpriced or being scammed in trade chat) and and a single level 100 (thanks to the newest discovery) We will also have to beat one of the hardest bosses for begginers: Lance, who seems to be fond of critical strikes, which won’t be an easy feat. Unless you use this guide, of course, which teaches you how to cheese it in less than two minutes! In this guide, we will explore, step by step, how to meet each requirement to unlock it. You will be surprised to know that we can unlock Cerulean Cave BEFORE we even visit Hoenn. While we will be somewhat restricted by the amount of catchable pokemon we can find, we will easily solve this with Headbutt, very common spawns and hunting some extra pokemon while we level up our team for the challenge. Obligatory and Unskippable Requirements: -Having beaten the Johto Elite 4 (thus, also having beaten Kanto’s Elite 4) -Paying 200k Pokedollars to purchase a Dragon Membership -Obtaining 240 caught data in your Pokedex for a Dragon Medallion. -Having a full team of level 100 to fight Lance. ^big note here, we are going to CHEESE this last requirement. Full team means that you only need ALL POKEMON IN YOUR PARTY to be level 100. Thus, WE CAN DO THE QUEST WITH ONLY 1 LEVEL 100. Recommended tools: -Macho Brace (to EV train our Lance Sweeper) -Surf Mount (completely optional, but keep in mind one member of your team will have to be level 100 and have learned the move Surf to get to Dragon’s Den. It is impossible to access Lance without Surf and you need 1 level 100s for the fight). -Smoke Ball (to EXP train your pokemon quickly, as this will allow you to escape from any wild pokemon fight you want to avoid and just fight specific pokemon to level up fast) -Membership/EXP Potion active (completely optional too, but it’s a pain to level up a pokemon to 100 otherwise). -Synchronise pokemon (to get the correct nature on the Boss Sweeper we need) -Focus Sashes (we will abuse them and they’re extremely cheap in trade chat. However, it’s not obligatory as we can abuse Dragonite’s low Hurricane chance to beat Lance anyway). -False Swipers / Memento + Leech Seed pokemon to be able to powerlevel your pokemon for the fight quickly (However, it’s not really needed, as long as you’re patient enough). -Rare Candies, Choice items (Can be obtained by recycling gems in the Forest Pit Item Recycler if you’re very lucky after you beat the Johto Elite 4), Life Orb (can be obtained in the Bug Catching Contest). These are used to powerlevel our pokemon faster. -Anything mentioned below, such as HM Slaves (specially for Dig and Headbutt), Tools (like Shovel, etc) and anything you’ll 100% need during your PRO stay (I hope it’s long!) Brightpowder: As a last minute extra addition, you can obtain it hidden in Goldenrod's Underground Basement. Equip this to Cloyster in the Lance Battle to make your Cloyster be more likely to win! Issues: We will first go over the main issues: Johto Elite 4 is the obligatory one we must tackle, which is pretty hard itself. We then will focus on hunting for a Synch, getting our Lance Sweeper (we will actually only need one pokemon for the fight!), hunting for another Synch and farming the required money for the battle, capturing wild pokemon and finally fighting Lance! This guild will assume you get NO external help outside of selling your items. Thus, no one will lend you money, a team, no dex services, nothing. You’re working by yourself now. You’re all alone in this MMO world! You CAN buy and get help from others but, what’s the point of this guide, then? First step: Beating the Johto Elite Four (and Kanto, if you’re somehow still there but you’re curious about how to get Cerulean Cave unlocked) The Johto Elite Four is the painful part in my opinion. It’s not very easy and it’s uncomfortable at best to fight. A single missclick, a single pokemon living with a sliver of HP can already mean you’ve already lost the fight. We will try to go over this quickly: We need Gengar, and some support from your team. If possible, you need Gengar, Mamoswine (this can also be used in Lance as a Support tool) and a Fighting, Bug or Fairy type. These can be filled by Machamp, Clefable and any bug type that you’d like. This is due to the fact that Gengar can pretty much obliterate the first three Elite Four members alone (except for Koga’s Skuntank, but that’s dealt with by Mamoswine), but struggles extremely hard against Karen (I’d like to speak to the manager!) who is a Dark Type trainer. Lance is just fine for him, but we’d rather support him with Mamoswine, who will defeat Lance with a single hit as Ice types completely steamroll through his team. Gengar’s Shadow Ball (level up move) will obliterate the first Johto E4 member, Psychic (Saffron Gym TM, purchasable) obliterates Koga and Bruno. Mamoswine will have to assist against Koga’s Skuntank and against Karen, as Gengar is weak to Dark. Lance will be a mix between Gengar and Mamoswine: Gengar can take out some of his pokemon with Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball, and Mamoswine’s Ice Shard will obliterate the remaining Dragons. We have two options: First, try to repeatedly fight the Johto Elite Four with your team, to a point where you’re gaining experience nonstop and leveling up as you try to beat it more and more. Log out in a battle in the Elite Four when you know you’re going to lose. Try not to use any items to continue fighting unless you reach Lance. There, you should try to heal up and fight him. I suggest you train your Pokemon in Dragon’s Den until 60 or 70, and then start spamming fights against the Elite Four, obtaining absurd amounts of experience. If you want to train Gastly and Swinub (Gengar and Mamoswine when fully evolved), I’ll leave you a chart on how to train them below: Gastly: Capture one in Vermillion Graveyard. Natures should be: Modest, Rash, Mild, Naive, Hasty, Timid. Their Spatk and Speed IV (orange numbers) should be 20 or more. The other IV don’t matter. Any of these 6 will work with 20 IV in Spatk and Speed. Teach it: Thunderbolt TM (Vermillion Gym, purchasable), Psychic TM (Saffron Gym, purchasable), Shadow Ball (level up move) Destiny Bond (level up move). Swinub: Capture one in Ice Path. Natures should be: Adamant, Jolly, Naughty, Lonely, Naive, Hasty. Their important IV should be Atk, Speed, and optionally, HP and Spatk (only Atk and Speed are really relevant though). Any of these natures with 20 IV in Atk and Speed will be good enough. Teach it: Earthquake TM (Viridian Gym, purchasable), Ice Shard (level up move), Ice Beam (Mahogany Gym, purchasable) or Avalanche (should be level up move), and the last move can be anything (I recommend Ancientpower, which you need to evolve Piloswine into Mamoswine). Gastly can be leveled from 15 to 25 surfing in Vermillion City, 25 to 40 in Route 28 surfing, and after that surf in Mt Silver and Thunderbolt everything. Swinub can be leveled easily in Power Plant to 30 by spamming Earthquake, and then to 40 in Route 28, then in any cave spamming Earthquake, Ice Shard, Ice Beam and Ancientpower. Once after level 70 to 80, you can evolve them if you want and try spamming Johto Elite 4 attempts. Your entire story pokemon should be able to tackle it, after multiple attempts. Sooner or later, you’ll get through. This is the most painful way, because you’ll lose nonstop, but it’s the quickest. If you can, log out on purpose whenever your pokemon are 97 or above in the middle of an Elite Four fight, and train the next pokemon, until you have 6 level 95-97+ pokemon. This will be used to fill the requirements for Lance’s battle. By using Elite Four’s infinite experience, we can train anything extremely fast. The other way is to actually think, and start building your lategame equipment now, and not delay it even further. The reason for this is that, if you enter Hoenn and you don’t have good enough pokemon to defeat the Elite Four, you’ll be stuck there forever, as you cannot go to any other region until you beat the Elite Four, and not the 8th badge, unlike in Johto. If you wish to learn how to level your pokemon faster, efficiently and properly, read this guide: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/152189-how-to-level-up-any-pokemon-fast-and-easy-for-newbies-the-guide/ Getting the Tools! Let’s start from somewhere. We will need a pokemon that can actually help us hunt whatever we may need. We need pokemon with the ability Synchronise to hunt the necessary tools to beat Lance. We will also want a Macho Brace to train our pokemon’s EV faster, a Smoke Ball to avoid unwanted fights (so we just level up against whatever pokemon we desire), some Leftovers, and optionally, a Choice Band/Specs/Scarf to level our sweeper of choice (unintended pun). The choice items are optional, but they’re extremely helpful when we have to level up, really, really, REALLY weak pokemon. There are multiple pokemon with the ability Synchronise: Natu and Xatu, Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam, Espeon and Umbreon, Ralts, Kirlia and Gardevoir and finally, Gothita, Gothorita and Gothitelle. The issue with these is that the easiest to find are Natus, who are just tier 1 and extremely easy to hunt, but their moveset is kinda underwhelming outside of being a Synchronise pokemon. Still, we will use them for this guide as they’re extremely easy to find. Abra is a pain: Tier 5+, keeps teleporting (thus, we need an Arena Trap pokemon), it also needs to be taught Psychic TM from Saffron’s Gym to level it up. It’s just awful. And we’re not even reaching the extreme points: Espeon and Umbreon evolve from Eevee, tier 9 (the hardest to find by far), having to level it with happiness during daytime or nighttime. Ralts and Gothita are tier 8+, not really accessible before Hoenn either. (Ralts is, but you get the point: Let’s just hunt for Natu, tier 1, extremely easy to find and just does the job). We can obtain a Macho Brace from the Biker in front of Goldenrod Pokecenter. We will trade a Drowzee (we can capture one in Route 34, in the route just below. Open your Pokedex and check!) for a Machop who will be holding the Macho Brace. We can steal a Smoke Ball from wild Koffing and Grimer while surfing in Celadon City. There are two issues here: some Grimers have the ability Sticky Hold, which prevents item theft, and Muk also spawns there but gives no items. Avoid Muks and try to get lucky with Grimer and Koffing! You can purchase the Thief TM from the Thief on Celadon’s Rooftop after you help him out. You can otherwise train a Mankey to a high level and make it relearn Covet (attention: MANKEY, NOT PRIMEAPE! Primeape can’t relearn Covet.) and avoid doing the Thief quest. You can also teach the Thief move to a pokemon with the ability Mold Breaker such as Pinsir, who can be found in Kanto. This will ignore Grimer’s Sticky Hold and allow you to 100% get a Smoke Ball. This is not obligatory, but heavily recommended. We can get a Membership, an Exp Potion or a Surf Mount by donating to the game (which I heavily recommend, supporting this amazing game is the best you could do!). However, if you’re a cheapskater like me and don’t want to spend real money/can’t spend it, we have other options. We can skip this one if you want. We can’t currently obtain a Focus Sash unless we beat a Boss or we trade it for PvE coins… this is kinda out of our scope right now. We can get Life Orbs if we are lucky in the Bug Catching Contest in Johto. We can try our luck daily trying to earn it, but this takes long. Choice Items are completely out of our hand: They’re extremely expensive, and we need to get lucky while recycling. This will be a pain. We’ll avoid them, but I will still suggest you give the Item Recycler and the Bug Catching Contest a try. We'll also be getting a False Swiper (Farfetch'd) which we will be using to make hunting pokemon infinitely easier during or stay in PRO. Starting the journey! Now that we have listed these tools, Macho Brace in hand and Smoke Ball in our bag, we will start our hunting trip! The first step can be two options: we can directly go for Natus, as we need the Synchronise pokemon to build our team against Lance, or we can first get ANY Abra to do something optional: Role Play. Role Play is a move which Kadabra learns upon level up. This move will copy the opponent’s ability. This will also show you if a Natu has the ability Synchronise. If it doesn’t have Synchronise, we will just not capture it and flee. I am going to link bloe a guide that will teach you how to properly hunt for pokemon, if this will help you out! https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/157347-how-to-start-hunting-any-pokemon-the-newbie-guide/ To capture an Abra, first go to Diglett Tunnel. Find a wild Diglett or Dugtrio and try to escape. If you are not able to escape, capture it and check if it has Arena Trap. If it does, nice! We will now go to Route 25, north of Cerulean. Just next to the small tree maze before Bill’s House you will spot a few bushes where wild pokemon spawn. Place Diglett or Dugtrio with Arena Trap in the first slot of your party. Keep running away from all wild pokemon until you find Abra or Kadabra. When you find it, stay with Diglett in the fight just spamming pokeballs. Abra and Kadabra won’t be able to Teleport and leave. Once you catch it, evolve it into Kadabra (if it’s not evolved yet), teach it the TM Psychic (you can purchase it super cheap in Saffron Gym) and level it to 41 so it learns Role Play. We will use this move a lot and you’d better keep this Kadabra for the future! We can now begin our hunting but monotonous journey: hunting Natu! It’s both fun and boring, sadly. We need these tools if we want to complete everything there is in PRO. We have two options: If we have completed Johto’s Elite Four, we will now head to Route 28. Route 28 can be found in the same place where we would normally enter Kanto’s Victory Road. However. Instead of going up, we’ll now go to the left, where a Guard used to block it. Once we enter it, we’ll be in Route 28! Get to the end of the route (you only need to head west nonstop) until you hit Mt Silver’s entrance. Heal up in the pokecenter, and we’ll start the hunt! If you have not completed Johto’s Elite Four, we have an alternative place. This will a bit longer, as it’s not as comfortable to hunt Natus there as it is in Route 28. We will head to Azalea Town in Johto. We will now head east to Union Cave with a Surf pokemon. Surf inside of the cave to get to the bottom floor through the ladder and then make your way through until you find the exit. There are two exits, one next to each other: one will directly drop you next to some grass tiles. You need to hunt for Natu there. Now, we will capture ALL Natu we see that have the ability Synchronise (following the steps mentioned above, you can use Role Play to know which ones have it. Otherwise, just capture all Natu you see). We are looking for these natures: Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Hasty, Naive, Jolly natures (these can be used with Cloyster) Bold, Calm, Relaxed, Sassy (these can be used with Slowbro/Slowking/Clefable). If you’re bored, you can also try and get the full list of all useful natures in Pokemon. Basically, this is the list: Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Brave (physical attackers and mixed attackers benefit from this) Impish, Relaxed, Bold (defensive pokemon appreciate these natures) Calm, Sassy, Careful (same as above) Modest, Rash, Mild, Quiet (special attackers and mixed attackers benefit from this) Timid, Jolly, Naive, Hasty (fast pokemon want these natures). When you obtain an Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Naive, Jolly, Hasty nature with the ability Synchronise pokemon, travel to Route 13. Capture a Farfetch’d with over 20 IV in ATK and Speed and with any of these three natures. Bring it to Diglett Cave, level it easily to around level 30 to 35, then level it in Cinnabar Mansion until 45-50. Make it learn Cut, False Swipe and any two other moves. He will be used later in this guide, he is extremely important. You can use this False Swiper to hunt other synchs easily, as False Swipe will always leave the opponent with 1 HP. Optional steps here: HM Slaves you SHOULD definitely obtain and train for your adventure, these will help you in the future too. Nidoran Male with Naive/Hasty/Lonely/Naughty/Rash/Mild natures (you can choose). Once it’s a Nidoking (evolve it when you think it’s okay to do so), it will learn: Headbutt (tutor in Viridian Maze, NEEDED FOR THE LAST STEP IN THIS GUIDE), Rock Smash (TM Purchasable in Celadon Department Store), Dig (also purchasable in the same place), Surf (HM03). You can easily level it up with Double Kick (level up move) and Dig (TM, Purchasable in Celadon Department Store) in any cave (specially, in Cinnabar Mansion). Paras with Quiet, Brave, Relaxed or Sassy natures (you can choose) Once it’s a Parasect, it should know Spore (level up move), Cut (HM move), Flash (HM move), False Swipe (TM Purchasable in Johto Safari entrance).. It can level up easily with Absorb, Mega Drain (TM Purchasable in Celadon Gym) and Giga Drain in Caves and Water places while surfing. Tentacool with Bold/Calm/Modest/Timid natures (you can choose) It can level up easily in any cave by teaching it Surf and spamming it against all Ground/Rock pokemon. Once it’s a Tentacruel, it will learn Flash (HM), Surf (HM), Dive (HM, later in Hoenn), Waterfall (HM, later in Hoenn). I HEAVILY suggest you get these three with decent Ivs (15+ in most stats) and natures and you teach them the movesets mentioned above. They will be your HM Slaves during all your stay in Pokemon Revolution Online. You will 100% need them sooner or later. While having all these natures is nice, we’ll focus on the first ones. Once we have one Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Naive, Hasty, Jolly Synchronise pokemon, we’ll go to Olivine City. There, we’ll surf and hunt for wild Shellder. We want to capture as many Shellder as possible. The Shellder we want must have its orange number (or IV) in ATK and SPEED above 20. The rest of the stats don’t matter. It must also have the ability Skill Link, and the natures must be Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Naive, Hasty or Jolly. These are obligatory, because if we don’t get these natures, we will not ensure that our strategy works. I will link a guide on how do IV and Natures work. I will also link a guide so you can understand how to hunt for a specific pokemon. However, to keep it simple: place the Synchronise pokemon in the first slot of your party, and on the second slot keep your False Swipe pokemon (Farfetch’d, in this example). Keep running away from all encounters until you find a wild Shellder. Spam False Swipe with your Farfetch’d until it has 1 HP (remember: False Swipe will NEVER faint the wild pokemon, no matter how hard you try), and capture it. Check if it mentions what I said in the paragraph before. Once we have found it: congratulations! It is time to train it. We want to EV train it to its full potential. We want to train its SPEED and ATK (physical attack) EV until they both reach 252. To do this, we can use any of the free EV Zones in all regions or we can make a visit to the Safari EV Wald. You can check here where you can EV train your Pokemon and how does EV training work (I hope I don’t forget to hyperlink this once I finish the guide lol) If you have trouble understanding how Abilities, EVs, IVs, Natures work, and how to EV train your pokemon, I will link some guides below that will 100% help you out! https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/153453-how-to-hunt-specific-abilities-guide-for-newbies/ < To learn how abilities work! https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/152671-natures-abilities-ev-iv-and-stats-for-newbies-the-guide/ < To learn the basic stuff about everything related to your Pokemon! https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/153443-how-to-ev-train-your-pokemon-for-newbies-and-safari-ev-wald-guide/ < Guide on how do EVs work and how to train them! It's Training Time! (yes while I was doing this guide I ended up buying that T-shirt lol) Once it’s trained to its fullest potential (252 ATK EV, 252 Speed EV), we will bring it anywhere to level it up. My recommendation is that you teach it Surf (HM) and Icicle Spear (Level Up move), and if possible, Ice Shard. From level 20 to 40 you can easily level it up in Route 28, by spamming Icicle Spear on wild Grass, Flying, Ground types. Dodrio, Donphan, Natu, Tangela are easy targets for easy experience. You can also Surf to defeat Rapidash and Ponyta. The needed moveset for Lance is: Shell Smash, Icicle Spear, then two optional moves (Ice Shard and Surf are good last options. Specially Ice Shard, as it has priority and it can help you in an emergency). Heal up in the Pokecenter in MT Silver. Above 40, try to start defeating wild Gravelers in Mt Silver (and other Ground Types and Flying Types) spamming Icicle Spear. Since this is a multi-hit move, this will always bypass Sturdy. You can also risk using Surf against Ground types, but if they have Sturdy they will survive. Here you can grind until you reach level 80 or even 90 if needed. Use Surf against Magmar, Icicle Spear against all other pokemon you may encounter. Once your Shellder is at level 90, you can just Rare Candy it to level 100. Purchase a Water Stone in Celadon Department Store. With the moveset mentioned above, you are now ready to evolve it! Cloyster with Icicle Spear and Shell Smash will take out Lance easily. Surf is needed to get to Dragon’s Den. Now that we have our Lance sweeper, we need to tackle the other requirements: 240 Caught Data and 200k pokedollars. My recommendation is that you level up five Hoppip, they are extremely easy to level up and they will be extremely useful later. Hoppips are used for a trick called Leech Seed + Toxic + Flash + Memento, which is used to powerlevel any pokemon in existence, no matter how bad they are. Hoppips are a bit weak pokemon, Grass/Flying, with great access to leveling up moves such as Mega Drain, Giga Drain and Bullet Seed. This will allow you to quickly train other pokemon so you can get Dex Data quickly. For better reference, use my Level Up guide and check the Hoppip Section. If you wish to follow my advice and train the Hoppips, go to the routes below Lavender Town and capture a few Hoppip in Route 13. Preferably, they should have a Calm nature. Once you have 5 Hoppip with a Calm nature (or any nature works, but Calm and Bold are the best ones. You can use the Synchronise pokemon you obtained previously to make this easier) and decent Def, HP and Spdef IV (the rest does not really matter, high Speed and Spatk is nice though), you can start training them. My recommendation is to train them from 20 to 30 in Ruins of Alph when surfing by spamming Bullet Seed, Mega Drain and Absorb (you’ll always face Wooper/Quagsire, they give a decent amount of exp and HP evs), 30 to 40 surfing in Route 28, 40 to 50 surfing inside of Mt Silver and after 50 you can both fight Water types and Ground types by surfing and just running around in Mt Silver. Most pokemon there are extremely weak to Grass type moves, and since Mega Drain and Giga Drain heal you, you will be able to stay there for long periods of time. Once your pokemon are over level 90, you can Rare Candy them easily. If you still need help with leveling your pokemon and want to learn how to use the Hoppip Strategy properly, I will again link this guide below: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/152189-how-to-level-up-any-pokemon-fast-and-easy-for-newbies-the-guide/ We’ve finally tackled the level 100 pokemon requirement! Now we only have two requirements to tackle: the 200k Pokedollar fee and the 240 Pokemon caught requirements. Next step: MAKING BANK! STONKSSSS and money. This is the nightmare and bane for some people to get over with. 200 thousand pokedollars looks like a lot (and it is, indeed). Thus, how can we get the money? Well, we will tackle this issue from the beggining point. If you wish to completely skip the entire explanation, you only need to follow my other guides on how to make money. These are the links: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/134841-how-to-make-money-in-pro-101-the-guide/ < This lists the main activities you can do so as to obtain as much money as possible, 100% needed to gain access to Cerulean Cave. https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/132722-location-of-all-monetary-items-in-pro/ < This lists almost all monetary overworld items you can obtain to get rich quickly! However, if what you wish to do is to learn from zero, I will explain what you should do from scratch. For this guide, we will not take into consideration that you can sell your Rare Candies to other players and we will try to eliminate them from that possibility. Thus, don’t count on selling them to anyone (However, you easily can sell them in Trade Chat, but we’re trying to do this entire guide without having external help). To obtain money, there are different ways: fighting wild pokemon and trainers, selling monetary items, completing daily tasks, quests, and missions. My suggestion is that you first tackle all the Quests in Kanto that give money (Officer’s missions), starting from Viridian to Pewter to Cerulean to Celadon to Fuchsia and to Cinnabar. They all give a lot of money which is taken into account in the guides above. This will atleast grant you about 60 to 100k, in pure money value. After reading that, you should also pick up all the obtainable money items in Kanto and Johto which can later be sold in Route 25’s Item Maniac. These will amount to 82.5k pokedollars, so we only need to get around 60k pokedollars now. Now that we’re here, we’re kinda stuck. We still need to do more: we will try and do Dig Spots and Pokestops to get something sellable. We will do dig spots in all Kanto and Johto spots and pray that we get atleast two or three nuggets (or even more) and other sellable items in both regions. If we get some, we’ll have made the 200k pokedollars easily! But this is not over yet. We should also do the Bug Catching Contest in Johto on a daily basis to ensure we get a bit more every day if we’re lucky. In addition to this, Pokestops and Dig Spots will give us Pokeballs which we will invest into the last (and biggest) issue remaining we have in mind. Now that we’ve gone through these, if we don’t want to depend on other players, what we will do is fight all trainers after the fourth badge of each region (thus, visit Kanto and Johto regions and try to refight the trainers as much as you can). The higher their pokemon are, the more money you’ll earn. A bit of money will stack up quickly as you go around battling them. You’ll gain from 500/600 pokedollars to up to 2000 pokedollars per trainer fights, going around routes fighting them. You should also revisit Gyms, as you’ll be able to refight them. You can fight Trainers once every 7 days, so after 7 days you can fight them again! Finally, try to do Dig Spots every three days. The few monetary items you’ll get will help you quite a lot throughout your adventure. You can sell them all in Route 25’s Item Maniac, and you’ll be able to gain a lot from Star Pieces, Stardust, Nuggets, and more. Use the guide above to see what items you can obtain and try to do the Dig Spots in Kanto and Johto nonstop. Recycle the Gems in the Item Recycler in the depths of Mt Mortar (by the way, also defeat the trainers inside, they have high level pokemon and they give good experience and money). I’ll link guides and maps throughout the guide so you can find them (if I don’t forget about it lol). Once you’ve done Dig Spots a few times and obtained around 250 or 300 thousand pokedollars (or even more), it’s time to tackle the last issue: capturing 240 pokemon for the Pokedex! If you still are missing a bit of money, fight wild pokemon in Mt Silver to train your pokemon. Each fight will be 200 to 400 pokedollars (depends on whether you have a Membership active or not). In the long run, you’ll end up making some bank! Second to final step: Capturing the 240 pokemon. Alright, let’s make things clear: you will need a LOT of Pokeballs for this step. A LOT. We will try to reduce it in certain ways, however. With Pokestops and Dig Spots we’ll obtain a lot of Pokeballs for free, but we’ll have to take measures to avoid wasting too many. To make capturing pokemon easier, you can check hunting guides, but I’d rather teach you personally. Check my hunting guide if you need some help regarding how to hunt pokemon easily! https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/157347-how-to-start-hunting-any-pokemon-the-newbie-guide/ Capturing pokemon is easier when they have a status condition (such as paralysis or sleep) and when they have low HP. This is sometimes not possible because some pokemon have immunities to status or certain moves. For example, Ghost types are immune to False Swipe. Grass types are immune to moves like Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, but can still be affected by Thunder Wave or Yawn. Electric types are completely immune to all paralysis inducing moves, but can still be put to sleep by moves like Spore. You get the point. We’ll have to work a bit around certain pokemon to capture them. Additionally, some use self damaging moves, so if they have moves like Explosion, Take Down and so on, we’ll have to be careful not to accidentally faint them in the process. To begin with, we should go to Celadon’s Department Store. In one of the floors, there is a Smuggler that will sell us 50 pokeballs for 9 thousand pokedollars. We want to atleast have 200 to 300 pokeballs in our inventory, or even more, as you wish. However, DO NOT BUY SUPERBALLS, ULTRABALLS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF POKEBALLS. They are not worth the money you’d have to spend on them until the very, VERY lategame. Avoid buying them, AT ALL COSTS! ONLY BUY POKEBALLS! I write this in caps because it’s VERY important. When we have 300 or more pokeballs, we’re ready to go! To fill our Pokedex easily, what we must do is to hunt for pokemon which are extremely easy to find and require next to no effort to level up. Using the discord bot AND MY MARVELOUS HUNTING GUIDE (shameless plug by the way) we will look for all pokemon whose tier is extremely low (Tiers range from 1 to 9, the closest to 1 the easier they’ll be to find) and we will capture them all. Using the 5 Hoppip we trained earlier we will powerlevel them in a few minutes. In a single day, you can easily get over a hundred caught pokemon data. It is extremely easy to fulfill, just annoying and time consuming sometimes. My recommendation is that you now go pokemon by pokemon checking their tiers on the Discord Reborn Bot and checking if they’re tier 4 or below, which means they are extremely easy to find almost anywhere. You should capture one of each and quickly train it and evolve it. This will increase your Caught and Evolved data in your Pokedex, which will also allow you to later be able to capture legendaries such as Mew, the legendary dogs, Celebi, Jirachi, Latios and Latias and more. The more data you get, the more access to sidequests you’ll obtain! Use the Hoppip Memento + Leech Seed method if you want to powerlevel a lot of pokemon in succession in just a few minutes, instead of having to train them all one by one (which is extremely painful). If you can, and this is the most important advice: put a pokemon with Headbutt in your team (check the HM Slaves section mentioned above), and go through the ENTIRE Kanto and Johto Regions HEADBUTTING EVERY SINGLE TREE IN EVERY SINGLE AREA. This will make you find VERY rare pokemon from other regions (Unova and Kalos included!) and a lot of the Hoenn pokemon you may still not have access to. Also, most of these pokemon evolve quickly. Go through all the main cities and routes of each region and headbutt and capture all pokemon you’ve yet not caught. Now I will drop a list below with a LOT of pokemon which should be enough to fill your dex quickly as long as you headbutt everywhere and go one by one hunting them down. I will skip over Trade Evolutions and any requirements that demand too much experience and are too hard for a newbie to obtain. You can try doing your daily Headbutts in every route, cave, city and town in Kanto and Johto. A lot of incredibly rare pokemon from different regions will appear. In the list below, I will add some of the pokemon you can easily find through these methods in Kanto and Johto: surfing, headbutting, fishing, and going around all possible places. Keep in mind during your playthrough you will easily find other region pokemon (doing Dig Spots for example) and capture them. Thus, the list is NOT limited to these below. Go around travelling and capture all pokemon you can find! Kanto Dex easy to find pokemon: Caterpie + 2 evolutions Weedle + 2 evolutions Pidgey + 2 evolutions Rattata + evolution Spearow + evolution Ekans + evolution Sandshrew + evolution Nidoran + evolutions (Requires Moon Stone to fully evolve) Nidoran 2 + evolutions (same as above) Zubat + evolutions (Requires happiness) Oddish + evolutions (3 in total, requires Leaf and Sun stones) Paras + evolution Venonat + evolution Diglett + evolution Meowth + evolution Psyduck + evolution Mankey + evolution Poliwag + evolutions (note, one requires Water Stone and the other requires a trade with King’s Rock. Avoid Politoed). Machop + evolutions (note, you need to trade for Machamp. Avoid it). Bellsprout + evolutions (you need Leaf Stone for the final evo) Tentacool + evolution Geodude + evolution (same issue as Machop) Slowpoke + evolution (Slowking requires trading) Magnemite + evolutions Doduo + evolution Seel + evolution Grimer + evolution Gastly + evolution (same issue as Machop) Drowzee + evolution Krabby + evolution Voltorb + evolution Koffing + evolution Horsea + evolution (Kingdra requires trading with a Dragon Scale) Goldeen + evolution Magikarp + evolution The fossils + their evolutions (you can dig them easily since they are in dig spots) Total: around 75+ caught data. Johto Dex easy to find pokemon: Sentret + evolution Hoothoot + evolution Ledyba + evolution Spinarak + evolution Chinchou + evolution Natu + evolution Mareep + evolutions Hoppip + evolutions Sunkern + evolution (requires Sun Stone, diggable) Wooper + evolution Unown Girafarig Snubbull + evolution Teddiursa + evolution Swinub + evolutions Aipom + evolution Corsola + evolution Total: around 30+ pokemon Hoenn Dex easy to find pokemon: Poochyena + evolution Zigzagoon + evolution Wurmple + evolutions Lotad + evolutions Seedot + evolutions Taillow + evolution Wingull + evolution Whismur + evolution Makuhita + evolution Numel + evolution Barboach + evolution Corphish + evolution Fossils and their evolutions (easily diggable) Feebas + evolution (Milotic requires trading) Shuppet + evolution Duskull + evolutions (Dusknoir requires trading with an item) Snorunt + evolutions Clamperl + evolutions (they require trading) Spheal + evolutions Luvdisc Total: around 40+. In addition to these above, you will find Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos pokemon from doing Headbutts and Dig Spots and in some random routes and towns too. Good luck! Final step: THE FINAL BATTLE (you can play some like, epic soundtrack from a random anime while you follow these steps I guess) Now that you’ve completed these steps, you need to talk to the two old guards in Blackthorn's Dragon Tower. Talk to the two old men and pick up the Dragon Membership and the Dragon Medallion from them. Then, talk to the Policeman in front of Cerulean Cave’s entrance. With your Cloyster at level 100, Adamant, Lonely, Naughty, Jolly, Naive or Hasty 20+ IV in Atk and Speed, 252 EV in Atk and Speed, Shell Smash, Icicle Spear, Surf, travel to Blackthorn City and enter Dragon's Den. Surf above the gym and go into the cave. Go downstairs. Surf until you find the ladder to the floor below (southwest in Dragon's Den) and go downstairs again. You’ll now be in the same floor as Lance. Now, there is another issue: There's a Dragonite blocking your way and you have to defeat it. If you lose against this Dragonite, you have to wait 24 hours to try it again. To win against the Dragonite you can use any pokemon, this fight has no restrictions. My recommendation is that you simply use Icicle Spear with a Brightpowder equipped. If you are successful, Dragonite will die to a single hit. You can also try using Ice Shard, which will always go first, and pray that it dies in a single turn. Icicle Spear is the riskier, but 100% rate to win this fight instantly. With an equipped Focus Sash, thi Now, go around the small maze and stand in front of him. We now have to explain how this Boss Battle works, because it’s very unique compared to the other Boss Battles in PRO. This Boss Battle has six pokemon at level 120. These pokemon are approximately a 10 to 20% stronger than a normal pokemon when fully trained at level 100. They have additional defenses, speed, attack… you get the point. They’re extremely overpowered. However, since PRO’s Boss AI runs on a hamster running on a wheel powering up a potato toaster, it can easily be exploited. This boss also functions differently: you can use items while in battle and you have infinite attempts with no cooldown. This is the best possible situation, because we can keep trying the same strategy over and over again without fearing any consequences: there are none! We can keep slamming attempts over and over. We will be using a strategy which requires us to use NO items. However, you can still carry from 10 to 30 revives if you’re willing to be disgusting and beat this in the unfairest, easiest, and noobest possible way. This is the full lineup for Lance: Dragonite, Altaria, Hydreigon, Flygon, Salamance, Garchomp. What do they have in common? 5 out of the 6 are 4 times weak to ice moves. Our Cloyster will literally run over Lance’s team. After a Shell Smash, they’ll be stomped. The way to cheese this boss by using no brain is to simply use Cloyster in the first slot of your party and playing the Jackpot. Yes, that’s it. There’s no more strategy to it. We don’t need to worry about any other pokemon than Dragonite. They will all be outsped and oneshot, with no chance to do anything to us. Let’s begin. Dragonite’s moves are: Outrage, Hyper Beam, Hurricane and Dragon Dance. If you have noticed, he has three issues: Hyper Beam, Hurricane and Dragon Dance will either have a chance to miss (Hyper Beam has a 10% chance, Hurricane has a 30% chance and Dragon Dance will not damage you) or you have a very, VERY small chance to survive a single hit. We won’t rely on you surviving a single hit because Cloyster’s special defense is as low as my real life money savings after having spent it all on my gym memberships. These are all our possible decisions and the outcomes we will get. Outcome 1: We use Shell Smash. Dragonite hits us before and faints our Cloyster instantly. Here we have two choices: A) we cry. B) we log out, we log in, we’ll reappear in Blackthorn City. We just travel back to Lance immediately, talk to him and try the same again. Since there is no cooldown to refight him, we can just try again infinitely! If successfully use Shell Smash because he has missed a move, he has used Dragon Dance or you’re still somehow alive, proceed to Outcome 2. Outcome 2: Congratulations, if you’ve survived a hit (unless Hurricane has confused you, then risk it anyway and if you lose, relog and go back to Outcome 1), you’ve literally won the fight. Yes, that was it. Now, after a single Shell Smash, you’ll now click Icicle Spear six times. All of Lance’s pokemon will instantly faint. Lance’s pokemon have no priority moves and no way to cripple you with Scary Face, Perish Song or anything. Since Icicle Spear has 100% accuracy, you cannot miss. Since Shell Smash boosts your Physical Attack, Special Attack and Speed by two stages (doubled), his pokemon are automatically gone thanks to Icicle Spear. They’re incredibly weak to Ice Type moves, and Skill Link will make Icicle Spear always hit five times. Yes, I know this feels stupidly easy, undeserved, and you just didn’t use any strategy other than “haha look at me I dodged a hit haha I’m so good”, but the point is: you literally just unlocked Cerulean Cave by yourself, no one helped you, and you proved everyone wrong. You didn’t need help at all! (outside of me literally babysitting you with this guide, but whatever). Congratulations, dude! All your efforts have paid off. So many hours working hard just to unlock a place with mediocre spawns with just 10 higher leveled pokemon lol. Well, atleast now you can farm like a madman and level up quickly! Also, unlocking the Daycare is nice. Special credits to: Myself for being so damn handsome and perfect Zaccard (went through the trouble of hunting several Shellder for me to test the strategy, ended up working perfectly) Revelc (discovered that we could do this with just 1 pokemon lol). Other guildmates who were my test subjects and went through the pain of fighting Lance over and over.

Did you know your IQ increases by 400 if you join our alliance??? Just kidding, you'll still be dumb, but atleast you'll have friends being in our guild! https://discord.gg/M8THAH2 Bump!

The Reborn discord bot is the bot that will basically provide you with the info on where to find any pokemon on PRO. This also affects its value, as there are pokemon that require Membership, other pokemon are only obtainable in side quest related areas, they may require that you complete several regions, or are extremely hard to catch (like Beldum). You can check Smogon to guide yourself on what natures can be useful for certain pokemon, but there's an absurd amount of possibilities, natures and different combinations for every pokemon to try out. There's some preferred natures and abilities you can ask people so that they give you advice, but there's always weird sets to try. For example, Salamance is normally a really fast and strong physical attacker, but he gets really good specially attacking moves, and he can work in a lot of different ways. Arcanine has the same issue, he can be physical, special, mixed, or tanky (in competitive pokemon in the doubles format, for example). There's a lot of environments where some pokemon can have multiple sets. However, yes, you can use the SMOGON website to check for preferable natures and sets otherwise you can always ask in forums or discord or ingame! https://discord.gg/98pMNxq You can join the official PRO Discord server here and use the bot there and try it out they have the commands pinned in #bot-commands! (alternative you can join my discord in my signature below my posts lol, I'll help you out too)

Hello! Normally, I don't answer posts in the trade zone but since you're a newbie and you're asking for advice, I guessed I could go and comment a bit. Keep in mind all prices are subjective and they change depending on everyone's opinions. Basically, a pokemon's worth depends on many factors: PRO economy and market, how much people want the pokemon, how good is it in pvp or in bosses, if it's a collector's pokemon (obtainable only in certain bosses, shiny forms, special forms), and then we get into the specifics such as nature, ability, gender (for Ralts, for example), moveset, ivs, if it's ev trained or not, level trained or not, if it's wrongly ev trained, if it's evolved when it shouldn't be (certain pokemon benefit more from certain natures when not fully evolved than others. The easiest example is Dusclops and Dusknoir. Dusclops is a tank while Dusknoir is a tanky attacker, in newbie terms, and you build one as a full tank while the other is built as a slow but annoying attacker that can tank some hits. Normally, when a pokemon is considered completely useless due to having the wrong nature, being low tier (this means they're easy to find, as we mention tiers in their rarity due to the Reborn discord bot everyone uses to find them), or having really bad stats and having the wrong conditions mentioned above, they are only worth 1 to 5 thousand pokedollars. They are commonly sold to fill the Pokedex of other users that need to obtain Caught and Evolved data for specific pokemon so as to access specific quests. If you have a pokemon which has really bad stats and nature, ability and overall is unusable even for the normal story (you can use a lot of bad things for story, but they just make it harder), it's basically worth near nothing. It is generally considered that the neutral natures make a pokemon literally worthless unless their ivs are insane and the other conditions are also met. This is because having the important natures right is exceptional for a pokemon, the small 10% boost in one stat can make a pokemon completely pvpable or completely garbage if the nature cripples them. Any level 100 pokemon that is basically garbage or unusable for bosses/pvp is basically worth from 30 to 50 thousand pokedollars as you can sell them to newbies or other people who are rushing through story and want to beat it fast. However, I heavily suggest NOT to train pokemon with neutral natures. We could continue the explanation for days, but we'll go over the pokemon: Timid Growlithe is kind of a gimmicky Growlithe set, but it's ok to use it for story. It's not worth much unless all of its important/relevant IV (or orange numbers) are over 20 since it's a low tier (Easily catchable and findable) pokemon to capture and train. Growlithe normally prefers Jolly/Adamant natures, and can also work with Impish (with Intimidate) and Naive/Timid (with Flash Fire). Your Growlithe can be good for story, though. The Relaxed one has insane IVs, the nature cripples its speed but it works similarly to Impish with Intimidate, and I heavily suggest you use that one for story, even if its HP is low and the nature is not the best, its overall ivs are really good and it's very tanky. The neutral nature one is completely discardable, it has nothing good going for it, sadly. I'd only be able to sell the two Growlithe for 10k each at best, they can be way better. Magikarp is one of the easiest pokemon to farm in existence and thus, no one buys one unless it's extremely good, has a good nature, ivs, ability, and so on. Out of all of your Magikarps, the only one that is actually good and can work for story is the Naughty one. It is virtually impossible to sell Magikarp, even for Pokedex data, since it's literally obtainable everywhere. The Naughty one is helpful for story and will carry you there, it's worth 10 to 20k at best. The Ducklett and Pansear make me super sad lol, if you had gotten good natures they'd be worth more than 5k. Sadly, they have the worst possible natures and that completely cripples them (the 5 neutral natures and Gentle and Lax are terrible for literally all pokemon in existence). They'd be worth 5k for Pokedex data. The Magby is really, really good for story though and could even work in bosses with Baton Pass teams as a sweeper (it's still improvable, though). You can try to sell it for 10 to 20k. The Camerupt and Ninetales are sadly awful with their natures, but they're still okay for Story Rush. You'd be able to sell them for 30 to 50k. The Crawdaunt can go up to 70k because of its luckily decent nature (if his ability were Adaptability, that nature would be viable in PvP together with the better ability and max speed IV, it would've been amazing). The Gyarados is actually extremely good and can work in PvP if you fix the EVs a bit and get it to level 100. You can sell it for 300 to 400k if you're a bit lucky. I hope this all helped you! Keep in mind economy is subjective and everyone has their prices

We now have it fully updated and the guide is now 99% complete. You can comment any details to finish editing or fixing mistakes I'll be working on another guide meanwhile that I will try to upload later today.

Edited and fixed a mistake or two oops

Welcome to the Frequently Asked Story Questions Manual! This manual is specifically made for Help chat helpers, Discord Moderators and anyone who is constantly helping in General Support or ingame or in Discord. This guide/manual aims to answer almost all possible story questions unrelated to specific pokemon, pvp stuff, bosses, or anything too in-depth. This guide just answers most Story questions that are repeated nonstop throughout Discord and Ingame. With this handbook, you should be able to help out any newbie! We don't tackle mechanics here, this will be tackled on in other guides. This is the first part this guide will be divided in. This guide will try to cover Story related questions that are commonly asked nonstop everywhere. We will first start in the Kanto region, as the other regions will be tackled in future parts! I will be editing this with possible new questions that may arise in the future. (like Missions and other optional stuff) Let’s begin! Q: How can you choose Pikachu as a Starter? Which is the best starter in Kanto? A: While there’s arguably no best starter, Bulbasaur and Squirtle have the best overall advantages in the Kanto gyms and Charmander and Pikachu are the worst in them. Bulbasaur and Squirtle bring utility and better movesets than Charmander and Pikachu, but the last two also hit harder. It depends on what you like the most. Each one struggles with different gym leaders, so no matter what, you’ll always find a difficult fight! The safest is choosing the first two, the second two are also nice to try for a challenge. They can be hunted in the wild throughout Kanto, so don’t worry, you can get them later on! Bulbasaur and Charmander learn a lot of moves while Squirtle and Pikachu are severely restricted. You can choose Pikachu if you refuse to choose all three starters and then check the pokeball behind the desk. Q: I was defeated by Jackson! How can I go to Route 2? A: Simply go to Pallet Town and talk to his mom. You’ll now be able to continue to Pewter City. Q: I am lost in this Maze! How can I leave it? A: You can use an escape rope or check a Map online. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon-revolution/images/9/9d/Viridianmaze.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180814010850 Q: Brock is really hard! How can I defeat him? A: You can capture a wild Budew in the morning and daytime in Viridian Forest. Daytime is 10 to 20 poketime, morning is 4 to 10 poketime. You can check the poketime in the top right corner of your screen. They learn Absorb and Mega Drain. You can also capture an Oddish in the night time there. At level 10 it should be enough. Alternatively, capture a Poliwag in the night time in Route 22, or Nidoran male or female in the daytime. Poliwag learns Water type moves, while Nidoran learn Fighting type moves. Rock is weak to Fighting, Grass, Water and Steel. Ground is weak to Ice, Grass and Water. The pokemon from this type are usually very weak on the special defense side, so hitting them with Poliwag, Budew and Oddish will destroy them. There are more alternatives: You can try to paralyse his pokemon by using Lick with Snubbull and Biting them to flinch them, try to Poison them with the Poison types you can find such as Beedrill (however, keep in mind most of them have a secondary type which is weak to Brock). Q: How can I get out from Mt Moon? I’m so lost! A: You can check the PROWiki map here: https://prowiki.info/index.php?title=Mt._Moon . Ignore any Ladders until the last northwestern one. Q: Who do I choose, Helix or Dome Fossil? A: PRAISE HELIX! Just kidding, Helix revives into Omanyte, while Dome revives into Kabuto. Your choice! They’re both good pokemon but you’ll be unable to revive them before Cinnabar Island. Also, you can obtain both Fossils later an infinite amount of times, so do not worry, you'll always be able to obtain the other one! Q: How can I defeat Misty? Her Starmie steamrolls through my team! A: You can choose to buy a Magikarp from the Magikarp vendor in Mt Moon and train it into a Gyarados. You can Bite her and destroy her, as her Starmie is also Psychic Type, which is weak to Dark. However, it’s hard to train. The best choice is to use the Grass Types you used against Brock. You can train them easily in Mt Moon. Alternatively, train a Pikachu in Route 24 or 25 and destroy her! You can capture them in Viridian Forest. At level 20 it should be enough. Remember that Water, Grass and Dragon (there’s no obtainable Dragon Type before this gym though) resist Water-type moves. Pokemon such as Golbat (Zubat’s evolution) can spam Bite and Absorb against her pokemon. Other options are Exeggcute (Grass moves), Pinsir (Bug type moves for Starmie), Arbok (Thunder Fang, Dark type moves), Granbull (Thunder Fang). Q: Why can’t I enter the ship? A: You completely skipped Bill’s house. Go back to Cerulean City and head north. Go to Route 24 and then northeast to Route 25. Then, help Bill find his book. Q: Where is Bill's Book? A: Bill’s Book is under his pillow. Now that you’ve returned the book to him, he will give you the S.S Anne Ticket. You can now head to Vermillion! Go to Route 5 below Cerulean. You will find an Underground Path. Enter Q: How do I access the Daycare? A: You need to defeat a boss called Naero in Cerulean Cave. This requires a long quest which you can do after you defeat Johto Elite Four. The Daycare also does not function like in the original games. There is no breeding in PRO. In the Daycare, there are important tutors like the Preevo Tutor and the Egg Move Tutor. Q: How can you defeat Lance in Vermillion? This is impossible! A: Short answer, you can’t. You’re intended to lose here. A2: Long answer, you can, but it will not change your story path. Keep 1 pokemon that will faint in one hit, three Geodudes with Sturdy (ability), a Bulbasaur with Leech Seed (move) (if you didn’t choose Bulbasaur, put an extra Geodude with Sturdy here), and an Oddish with Poisonpowder. The first pokemon (the one that will faint) has to be in the first position. When Dragonair has used Hyper Beam, switch to Bulbasaur as you will have fainted. Use Leech Seed in that turn. Then, switch before Hyper Beam can hit you. If you don’t have Bulbasaur, use Oddish instead and use Poisonpowder. If the opponent has been poisoned or leech seeded, switch to a Geodude. Now, keep switching between Geodudes. He will not be able to defeat you in time before he faints. You can heal up Geodudes to stall even more turns. If you missed Poisonpowder or Leech Seed, let a Geodude faint so you can try again. You get no rewards whatsoever. Q: I can’t enter Vermillion Gym, there’s a tree there! A: Just enter the SS Anne and continue to get HM Cut. Q: I can’t enter the SS Anne! A: Just speak to Surge in front of the Guards of the ship. Q: How can I help out the Captain? How do I get HM Cut? A: Go to the Kitchen. Check the trash bins, the one in the center to the right has a Pecha Berry in it. Then, talk to the Doctor in the Kitchen. Afterwards, find Jenson in one of the rooms in the second floor. Talk to him. Then, go to the Ballroom and talk to the Blissey. Finally, go and talk to the Captain. He will give you HM Cut. Q: How can I get an Old Rod? A: A fisherman will give you one for free in a house in Vermillion City. It’s in the house next to the Pokemon Fan Club, above the Gym. Q: How do I use the Rod? I can’t catch anything. A: The Old Rod is pathetic and requires you to use it several times in front of the water to just find a pokemon. Keep using it nonstop until you get a catch. Q: How can I get a Bike? The one in Cerulean costed 999999… A: You can purchase a Bike Voucher for 60k pokedollars from the Old Man who lives next to Vermillion’s Pokecenter, or you can make it 40k pokedollars if you first give him a Ditto you previously caught. Then, go back to Cerulean City and purchase your Bike. You can hunt a Ditto in Route 8 by using Repels while having a level 23 pokemon in the first slot of your party. Q: How do I use the Bike? A: Click on it in your bag. It’s in the Mounts section. Q: How can I reach Lt Surge? There are barriers preventing me from reaching him! A: There are secret hidden buttons in the garbage bins. You have to find two consecutive correct buttons to open the barriers. They’re completely random. Q: How can I defeat Surge? His Raichu keeps Digging! A: The only weakness the Electric type has is Ground types. Ground types are also immune to Electric types. There are multiple options we can choose from. We can capture a Sandshrew, Onix or Geodude in Mt Moon. These learn Ground moves upon level-up. If we attack Surge with Magnitude, he will lose. Magnitude also hits opponents who use Dig way harder than it normally would. At level 20, it can destroy him. Onix only learns Sand Tomb though, while the other two learn Magnitude. Thus, only Sandshrew and Geodude are recommended. Q: How do I get HM Flash? I want to light up caves so I can see. A: When you defeat Surge, go to the southeast of Vermillion City. Enter the Diglett Cave and get through it until you leave to Route 2. Then, head south. You will find an Oak’s Aide in one of the houses. Talk to him when you have 10 Caught data in your Pokedex and you will receive HM Flash. This is also obligatory to continue your adventure, as HM Flash could be somewhat skipped in the original games. Q: How can I go to the 4th Badge? I’m kinda lost now. A: It’s a bit confusing. You have to go back to Cerulean through the same way you came in. When you’re in Cerulean, head East. Through Route 9, then to 10. Heal up in the Pokecenter, go through Rock Tunnel, and reach Lavender Town. Heal up, then go west, through Route 8, Underground Path to Route 7, and finally Celadon City! Q: How can I use Flash? I can’t see anything on this cave. A: You first teach HM Flash to a Pokemon in your party. Then, you click on the Pokemon in your party, and click on the move Flash. Do this whenever you want to light up caves! Q: How do I get my Eevee in Celadon? A: You have to defeat the Rocket Grunts and Giovanni in the Rocket Hideout. Then, talk to the Policeman outside after checking all the Machines in the Hideout. Q: How do I access the Hideout? A: Talk to the Rocket Grunt in the Casino. Q: The Rockets caught me in the Rocket Hideout! How can I escape? A: Talk to the boxes in the Jail. You’ll be able to escape. Try talking to them from different points if you’re unable to escape. Q: How can I reach Giovanni? There’s a door! A: Find the Card Key. A Rocket Grunt is blocking it in B4F, defeat it to obtain it. Fight the NPC Greg in B3F to be able to continue. Then, you’ll need to get through the Hideout until you can find the door to Giovanni. Q: How do I beat Giovanni? He’s very strong! A: He has several weaknesses. His Ground and Rock pokemon are weak to Ice, Steel, Fighting, Grass, Water. Use these types in battle. Any fast Water or Grass pokemon destroys him. For the Normal types, use a Fighting type like Machop, who can be found in Rock Tunnel. Ice Type moves can be found in Arbok and Granbull’s Ice Fang, but Arbok is weak to Ground, so be careful! Q: How do I recover the Eevee? A: See the machine behind Giovanni? Check the 5 machines that look like that in the entire Hideout. One of them has it. (the one behind Giovanni can also be the one). Q: How do I beat Erika? A: This is the easiest Gym Leader in Kanto. She’s weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, Bug. Most of the Grass types here are also Poison Types and thus, weak to Psychic too. Fire pokemon can be found in Route 7, Flying pokemon can be found everywhere and trained in Diglett Cave, you cannot use Ice types for now (but you can use Ice type moves such as Ice Fang from Arbok and Granbull), and you can train Bug types for the battle. At level 30 to 35, you should win this easily. Another option is to use a Steel or Psychic type in addition as some of her team is part Poison type. Special mention to Bronzor and Bronzong who resist Erika incredibly well and can take her out easily thanks to their Steel/Psychic type. Q: Where is HM Fly? A: HM Fly can be obtained after completing the Subway Quest. However, Fly is not functional outside of battle. In its replacement we have the Subway and Teleportation system, which allows you to teleport between towns for a small fee, similarly to the original games. They have different quests to be unlocked and they will permanently allow you to teleport everywhere you may need. Q: I can’t go south from Lavender, I can’t wake up Snorlax! A: Read the Fuji’s Notes in Lavender Town inside of his house. Get to the Top of Lavender Town and beat the Rockets. Talk to Fuji, rescue him and grab the Pokeflute. Then, head south to Route 12. You can now make Snorlax wake up. Capture or beat it (you can capture more of them in the future, so don’t worry). Q: I can’t enter Kanto’s Safari Zone. How do I go in? A: You first need to beat the Gym. Then, you will have to defeat Viktor in Route 19, to the south of Fuchsia. Q: I can’t reach the leader. There’s some invisible walls blocking me. A: Go counterclockwise, starting from the right wall. You’ll be able to make your way to him. There is an invisible path. Q: How can I beat the leader? They’re very strong! A: Poison is only weak to Ground and Psychic. Use a Sturdy Graveler or other Ground types with Ground attacks to quickly destroy him. Kadabra and Alakazam are also really good options for this gym. At level 45, you’ll win without issues. Sandslash, Rhydon, Graveler/Golem and other Ground types easily take care of the entire gym. Also, you can abuse Bronzor and Bronzong’s Steel and Psychic typing, as Steel is completely immune to Poison attacks and Psychic powers up his Psychic moves against the Gym Leader. Q: I can't access Fuchsia's Safari. How can I defeat Viktor in Route 19? His Pikachu sweeps me! A: Use a Sturdy Graveler. He should lose in a single turn with Bulldoze, Magnitude or Earthquake. He will teach any of your Pikachu the move Surf as long as you captured it. Q: How do I get Surf HM? And Strength HM? A: Surf HM is inside of Safari Zone. Buy a single 5000 pokedollar pass, and travel counterclockwise until you reach Safari Zone 3. Then, enter one of the houses. HM Surf will be in a pokeball there. Strength HM does not exist in PRO. Q: How can I get to Saffron City? A: Two options. If you have a Bike, you can quickly go west from Fuchsia into Route 16 through Route 17, the Bike Road. Then, you’ll reach Celadon. There, purchase a Lemonade on the Rooftop of Celadon Department Store (the big building). Then head to Route 7 and talk to the Guards. They’ll let you enter Saffron. If you don’t have a Bike, go back to Lavender from the same way you came in. Repeat the same steps (get to Celadon through Route 8 again), get the Lemonade, and enter it. Q: How can I access the Dojo in Saffron and the Pokemon in it? A: Beat the Team Rocket in Silph Co. Beat the Dojo and choose between a Hitmonchan and a Hitmonlee. Hitmonchan has better coverage while Hitmonlee hits harder. The fighters here use Fighting types, so use Fairy, Flying and Psychic types to defeat them easily. Abra and his evolutions, Clefairy and Clefable and any Flying type or move will take care of this Dojo easily. Q: How can I reach Giovanni in Silph Co? A: The fastest way is by going to the Third floor. In the middle, there’s a Rocket guy blocking a teleporter with a table to the left, and another teleporter further inside. One of the two will teleport you to the Seventh floor. Then, enter the next teleporter to immediately appear in the Eleventh floor. Q: Can we defeat Blue? How? A: Short answer: you can’t. A2: Long answer: you can. It’s just very hard. If you overlevel a lot, yes, you can. It’s not obligatory, you can actually lose to him and still progress. Q: How do I defeat this Giovanni? A: The same exact way as in Rocket Hideout. He’s just harder this time. Any fast water type will steamroll through his team, as most of it is ground types. Fighting types can also help here. Surf in Seafoam to find a few Water Type pokemon at already high levels and teach them Surf. He has the same common weaknesses as he had in the Rocket Hideout too, so you just need to level a lot (around 50 should be enough) to defeat him. Q: How can I defeat Sabrina? How do I get to her? A: You have to try out going through the teleporting panels until you find the one that teleports to Sabrina. Psychic’s weaknesses are Bug, Ghost and Dark. She is hard to defeat, but her Pokemon are weak to physical attack. You can use Dugtrios with Sucker Punch to take care of her, as you will always hit first. You can capture Houndour in Route 7 too. Gengar is also a nice Pokemon to have into consideration here, but beware: his Poison type makes him weak to Psychic! Level 55 should be enough. You can also abuse specific pokemon to leave Sabrina with no chance to defend herself. Moves like Shadow Sneak and Sucker Punch have priority, are super effective against Psychic Types and will always hit the opponent before they can defend themselves. Q: Where do I head now? A: You need to head to Cinnabar Island. The fastest way is to return to Pallet Town and surf south. Through Route 20, you’ll eventually find the Island! Q: I can’t enter the Gym! It’s closed! A: You need to find the Cinnabar Gym Key in Cinnabar Pokemon Mansion. You can find it by following these steps: Once you go in, go directly north and go upstairs to the 2nd floor. Then, instead of directly going to the third floor, go southeast. You can make your way northwest to another stairs to the third floor. Once in the third floor, there is an old man you can see on top of a big black hole. Position yourself counting from the left, on the third hole. To understand it better: the third black hole where you can fall counting from the left will directly teleport you to the Cinnabar Gym Key. Find a wild battle, log out and you’ll be teleported back to a Pokecenter! Q: How do I defeat Blaine? His Arcanine sweeps me! A: Fire types have weaknesses: Ground, Rock and Water Pokemon absolutely demolish them. Pokemon such as Graveler or Golem can train incredibly fast against Fire and Poison types in the Cinnabar Mansion gym. Water Types can also be trained there against Fire types. Train until around 60, it should be enough! Q: How can I revive the fossils now? A: You can revive them in Cinnabar Lab. Q: How can I catch the legendary birds? A: You can catch them way later in the game. You need to defeat the Birds in their respective areas to do the quest later. Feel free to beat them now, you will get their Dex data so as to capture them later (also, Articuno has a reward in Cinnabar Island if you defeat him for a mission) Q: Where do I go now? Where’s the last gym? A: The last gym is in Viridian City. You only need to travel to Viridian and enter the gym now. Q: How do we defeat the Mewtwo in Viridian Gym? What can we use? A: There’s multiple ways to beat Giovanni. I’ll list some of them below (these are extremely weird but easy to acheive and do). 1.- Simply grind your pokemon to absurd extents (60-70+) and try to tank a hit from Mewtwo to strike it back with a strong Fire, Ground, Dark or Ghost type move, as he is weak to all of them (this Mewtwo is special: he is Steel/Psychic, like Metagross. You can try leveling your starter Charmander, or a Fire type such as Arcanine, Rapidash, Ground types such as Dugtrio, Golem (with Sturdy, otherwise Aura Sphere or Ice Beam blows you up), Dark such as Houndoom (or using a Gyarados with Crunch), or Ghost such as Gengar. However, you rely on either outspeeding Mewtwo or surviving a hit (spoilers: almost impossible). 2.- Abusing Priority moves against him. He is weak to Sucker Punch, so you can simply capture 6 decent Diglett, powerlevel them a bit in Power Plant to 30 and then to 50-60 in Cinnabar Mansion. Evolve them all. Use Sucker Punch 6 times. Auto-win! Also works for Sabrina (without Cinnabar Mansion access though) and for Fuchsia’s gym (same as mentioned before, but spamming Earthquake). 3.- Using 1 Gastly with Destiny Bond and purchasing a Focus Sash from Trade Chat. Level any Gastly to level 40 (easily done in Seafoam, teach it Thunderbolt TM from Vermillion Gym), teach it Destiny Bond. Purchase a Focus Sash. Equip Focus Sash onto Gastly. Use Destiny Bond on Mewtwo. You will survive with 1 HP and Destiny Bond will be active. Then, on the second turn, Mewtwo will faint you before you can attack, and Destiny Bond will still work. 4.- Using 1 Rattata with Endeavor + Quick Attack with Focus Sash (or Sucker Punch, it works here too). Capture any Rattata in Cinnabar Mansion (they have Endeavor in their moveset and Sucker Punch, and if they don’t, just relearn it in Cerulean). Buy a Focus Sash from Trade Chat. Equip it onto Rattata, use Endeavor in the first turn, then Sucker Punch or Quick Attack in the second turn. GG, a house rat just defeated a legendary pokemon modified machine. 5.- Using 1 Magnemite with Sturdy, 1 Gastly/Haunter/Gengar with Curse, 4 Geodude with Sturdy. Capture any Magnemite in Route 6 with Sturdy (they have Thunder Wave, always). Capture any Gastly in Vermillion Graveyard (the higher leveled ones have Curse). Capture any Geodude with Sturdy (anywhere). Go to Giovanni. Start the fight with Magnemite. Turn 1: Thunder Wave. Did you miss? Log out, log in, retry. 90% accuracy, misses sometimes. Next turns, spam any move until Magnemite faints. Then, throw in Gastly. Use Curse. If Mewtwo was able to attack, log out, and repeat this process again. It’s a 25% chance, in 3 or 4 attempts you should be able to do it. Once you manage to land Curse: Congratulations! You instantly won. Mewtwo will faint in a max of 5 turns. Geodudes with Sturdy require 2 turns each to be fainted. Thus, he has to first faint your Gastly (1 turn), and he can’t faint all your pokemon in time, as he needs atleast 8 turns. 6.- Cheesing it even harder: Using 1 Magnemite with Sturdy and 1 Gastly with Destiny Bond. (and another pokemon in your team, doesn’t matter if it’s a level 2 Caterpie). Capture any Magnemite with Sturdy in Route 6 (same strategy). Capture any Gastly and level it to 40 until it learns Destiny Bond. Go to Giovanni. Start the fight with Magnemite. Turn 1: Thunder Wave. Did you miss? Log out, log in, retry. 90% accuracy, misses sometimes. Keep spamming moves until Magnemite faints. Throw in Gastly. Use Destiny Bond. If you manage to land it because he was paralysed, hope he hits you in the next turn. You’ll win the fight as he takes himself down. If he manages to faint you before you Destiny Bond, log out, log in and retry. 7.- 1 Magnemite with Sturdy. Alone. Assuming Mewtwo was level 100, with 31 IV in HP and 252 Evs there, he has 416 max HP. (He is obviously around level 70, but I’m assuming worst case scenario). Capture any Magnemite with Sturdy. Level it up to level 60+ (64 is the specific number). Relearn Mirror Coat in Cerulean, give it 2 Rare Candies in Power Plant so it levels to 65, evolves, 66, evolves again. Fully EV train his HP Evs to 252 (easily doable in Route 24 or in Safari Wald) Heal up in Viridian Pokecenter. Go vs Mewtwo. Press Mirror Coat and auto win! As Magnezone’s max HP with 1 IV at level 66 will be 210, one Mirror Coat will bounce 418 damage from Mewtwo’s Aura Sphere (will deal 209 damage, leaving Magnezone with 1 HP and Sturdy) and instakill it. If Mewtwo is at level 70, Magnezone can be at level 66 without any HP EV investment, and it will instakill it anyway. You need Magnezone to have a higher base HP than his preevolutions (thus, a higher HP total). Q: Can we defeat Red in Victory Road Entrance? A: Short answer: no, you can’t. You’re supposed to lose here. A2: You actually can, but the script was (changed?) and the Story does not continue if you win against him. In the past, if you had a good enough team you could simply overlevel your pokemon or use a cheese strategy such as 6 Rattata holding a Focus Sash and using the Endeavor + Quick attack combo to defeat him. You still can do these, but the Story will not change at all if you defeat him. The last time I defeated him, the story did not progress and I had to refight and lose against him (this was probably a bug). Q: How can we defeat this Moltres? A: Moltres is so weak to rock (4 times weakness) that you can literally capture a Graveler with Sturdy in Victory Road, use Rock Slide on Moltres and he will instantly faint. Moltres is incredibly easy to defeat, any Rock type will destroy it in a single hit (Sturdy will also prevent us from fainting in a single turn). He is also weak to Water and Electric moves, so Magnezone with Sturdy can deal with it, or any Water type (specially with Rain Dance). Q: What pokemon types do the Kanto Elite 4 use? How can we defeat them? The Kanto Elite 4 use dual type pokemon teams. Lorelei uses Water and Ice pokemon. They’re extremely weak to Grass, Electric, Rock, Fire (be careful if they are also Water though), Fighting, Steel (Water types resist Steel moves though). Gengar with Thunderbolt (purchasable in Vermillion Gym), Magnezone with Thunderbolt or any of the types mentioned above can deal with her easily. Brock uses Fighting and Rock type pokemon. All his pokemon have really weak Special Defense, and they’re weak to Psychic, Flying, Fairy (Fighting) and Water, Ground, Fighting, Steel (Rock) moves. My recommendation is to use a Gengar with Psychic (purchasable in Saffron gym), Alakazam and any Flying type or a Clefable. Agatha uses Ghost and Poison types. This fight can be tough, her pokemon are weak to Dark, Ghost, Ground (if they don’t have levitate or they have the Flying type) and Psychic. My recommendation is to use Gengar with Shadow Ball, Psychic, Dugtrio (he’s fast, learns Earthquake and Sucker Punch), Alakazam, or a Ground type with Sturdy. Lance uses Dragon and Flying pokemon. This fight is extremely easy (except for Tyranitar, which is his trump card). Dragon types are weak to Ice, Fairy and Dragon, and Flying is weak to Rock, Ice and Electric. Use a pokemon with Stealth Rocks to make all his pokemon instantly lose 25 to 50% of their max HP in battle and destroy him with a Gengar with Thunderbolt, Icy Wind, any Ice type, a Clefable, and be ready for his Tyranitar, which is Rock/Dark (surprise!). Gary has a varied team and you cannot really prepare for him much, he is ready to tackle all pokemon types. You will need to use your brain here, as some of his pokemon can survive a hit from a level 100 Gengar. His team is: Pidgeot, Alakazam, Rhydon, Arcanine, Exeggutor, Blastoise. Gengar can tackle with four of these (Thunderbolt for Pidgeot, Shadow Ball for Alakazam if he is not faster than you and obliterates you with Psychic, Shadow Ball for Exeggutor and Thunderbolt for Blastoise. Arcanine and Rhydon are a pain unless you have Water type moves to deal with him. Q: Where can we train for the Elite 4? A: You can train easily in the Victory Road 3rd floor (the entrance from the Kanto League, basically). Pokemon here are at high levels (40-50+) and are nearly fully evolved and provide a ton of experience. Level 70 to 75 is more than enough if your pokemon have good natures, decent stats and decent movesets. Just plan ahead. If you struggle with Victory Road pokemon, try lower level areas such as Cinnabar Mansion or Seafoam Islands. If you intend to train a Fire/Steel/Normal/Electric type pokemon, Cinnabar and Seafoam might be easier for you. It all depends on the moves your pokemon has access to, because some places will naturally be easier to train in than others.

Post has been edited. Almost everything is 100% complete now. Only issue is that the Glalie quest is pretty unclear (we don't really need to write the morse codes necessarily, but I probably will end up adding them). We also kinda need a video guide on how to do the Lake part and a bit of clarification on some of its steps.

Hi, sorry but I was sleeping for many hours lol. I'll proceed to update the main post now with all your info

Chris and Celestic both found the winning combination. I post it here and edit the Lopunnite part: You need: Female Cute Charm Charm Baby-Doll Eyes Teeter Dance Sweet Kiss Unknown if it affects anything: Jolly Silk Scarf

Bumped and updated the info. Thank you everyone

I will edit the guide later. Can you guys post screenshots of the Lopunny that you submit so we can see ivs, nature, ability, moves and gender so we can try and calculate why everyone gets random points and not many are able to get the Megastone?

Edited and added

12 out of 13 megastones have been found and 95% of the info is complete. Missing info: What does the second NPC in the Mega Garchomp quest exactly want (fight, puzzle, etc). 4-5 AM to find out and talk to him. Anything missing in Altaria Quest? What does the Mega Lopunny exactly need for us to win the contest? Mega Beedrill consecutive BCC wins or just once? Mega Glalie has not been found yet. Ideas: Glalie might be in Shoal Cave in north Mossdeep, like Snorunt was only obtainable there in the original games. Snow places related to Froslass. Might require a male Snorunt to begin a quest. Might be related to cold routes/places (Johto Ice Path, Kanto Islands, Hoenn Shoal Cave, Sinnoh Mt Coronet / Snowpoint and routes below). Might be related to Ice type gyms, trainers, etc.

Bumping thread. 8 out of 13 megastones methods have been found but some of the info is unclear or unconfirmed.

Hello everyone! As you all know, the second wave of Megaevolutions has just been released. As we did with the first post, I wanted to make this guide again but as a new post so as to not flood the first one too much, because it had over 10 pages of comments. We will colaborate together as players and we can all post screenshots, clues and help so as to find the Megastones for the second wave faster. You can post any rumours, information and proof in video or photo screenshots in this post. I will constantly be updating this thread in the following days as people keep finding more and more clues. For now, this thread is just a draft. However, it seems the Investigator in Vermillion Library has some interesting clues Good luck, everyone! This guide will be updated daily. Aside from that, I am also working on some other guides I will post in the upcoming days. So far, the megaevolutions for the Second Wave are: Mega Garchomp Mega Beedrill Mega Ampharos Mega Altaria Mega Charizard X Mega Absol Mega Lopunny Mega Glalie Mega Blaziken Mega Sceptile Mega Swampert Mega Latias Mega Latios Mega Salamance Currently known requirements You must be the Kanto Champion. You must bring a pokemon that can Megaevolve, is level 100, OT, fully EV trained and with full happiness. To megaevolve a pokemon, you ONLY NEED THE POKEMON. No other requirements aside from completing the quests. The megaevolution quests start in Vermillion Library. Speak to Assistant Theodor, who will request your assistance on Megaevolutions. You must show him a pokemon that can Megaevolve, that is your OT (thus, you captured it), and is level 100 at max happiness. It must also be fully EV Trained. Depending on the Mega, he will be giving you different information! He will entrust you with the Mega Bracelet. You can now start finding Megastones! Mega Garchomp (Credits to Rimanmblo#6387) Mega Garchomp's Megastone is kinda confusing to obtain. Before you begin, you need a Max Happiness, 25+ IV in ATK Garchomp (unconfirmed if it has to be OT or not). Mega Garchomp's Quest begins in Snowpoint Pokecenter, Sinnoh. Head to Snowpoint City's Pokecenter and talk to Cynthia. Travel to Celestic Ruins in Celestic Town. Talk to the Grandma and choose the second answer. The confusing part starts here. Now, travel to Canalave City's Library. Talk to all Bookshelves until one of them provides you with clues. When you've done so, talk to Cynthia in Canalave Library and talk to Professor Rowan in Sandgem Town. He will tell you how to decipher the codes below: TWO TRAINERS FACING THE GUARDIAN - TWO POWERFUL CHEERFUL SHARKS Now, talk to Cynthia again. Afterwards, go to the place mentioned: it's just below Sendoff Spring (in the original games, this is where you found Giratina, to the eastern exit in the route just below Veilstone City). Bring your boss team and include Garchomp in it and fight the Tourist. The tourist's team pokemon are: Garchomp, Sigylph, Golurk, Garchomp (again lol), Cofragrigus and Clefable. He will give you another part of the puzzle and Cynthia will mention that it always indicates the IV-V part, which means that you will be able to battle Cynthia at 4 to 5 AM in the morning if your Garchomp has full happiness. Step to the left of ther NPC and you will trigger a battle against her. Her team is the same as in the original games but with a Mega: Spiritomb, Lucario, Togekiss, Milotic, Roserade, Mega Garchomp. If you will, you'll earn the Garchomp Megastone. Mega Beedrill Mega Beedrill's Quest begins in Bug Catching Contest. You only need to win the Bug Catching Contest 3 days. It is unspecified if in succession or not, but it is atleast three days as shown in screenshots. Mega Ampharos Mega Ampharos' Quest begins in Olivine Lighthouse, Johto. (Credits to: Kira I Shinota#3449) Talk to Janine in Olivine City's Lighthouse. Then, talk to the three scientists. You must catch a pokemon with the ability Plus. The best option is to capture a Plusle. After you find it, give it to the scientist. The other scientist will ask you to capture a pokemon with the ability Minus. Do the same as mentioned above. The best option is to capture a Minun. The third one asks you to find a really rare pokemon: Zapdos. Go to Route 10 and talk to the trainer in the Power Plant. He will ask you for different pokemon you must find and give: Give him a Magnemite or one of his evolutions (easily catchable in Power Plant). Give him a pokemon that is immune to Ground type attacks and is an electric type pokemon. Tynamo and his evos count, as they are Electric types and have the ability Levitate. You can also submit a Rotom. Give him a pokemon that is immune to Water type attacks and is an electric type pokemon. You have two options here: Helioptile and his evolution with the ability Dry Skin, or Chinchou and Lanturn with the ability Water Absorb. Give him a pokemon that is immune to Grass type attacks and is an electric type pokemon. You only have one option here: Blitzle and his evolution with the ability Sap Sipper. Give him a Dedenne (easily catchable in the route above Power Plant). Give him a pokemon that is immune to electric type attacks and not a Ground type (Lightning Rod pokemon, such as Electrike, Pikachu, or Volt Absorb pokemon such as Jolteon, Chinchou). You will now have to defeat his team. You cannot use any Mold Breaker ability pokemon and no Ground type attacks while in the fight. After you do all of this, you will earn the Mega Ampharos Megastone. Mega Altaria Mega Altaria's Quest begins in Sootopolis City. Talk to the NPC in the house northeast to the Sootopolis Pokecenter, in the top right corner. You only need to bring and show Cottonee or their evo, Mareep or their evos, Maractus, Swirlix or their evos with the move Cotton Guard at max happiness at any level and you will obtain the Mega Altaria Megastone. You need one of each evo line in your team. They do not need to have your OT. Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard X's Quest begins in Cinnabar Lab, Kanto. To obtain the Mega Charizard X Megastone, you must travel to Kanto's Cinnabar Island. Enter Cinnabar Lab Room 3 and talk to Rual. He will ask you to show him a pure fire type pokemon that knows a flying type move and is at level 60. This move can be obtained through any means, tutor, level up learnset, egg move, preevo, etc. A good option is to teach a fire type the move Aerial Ace through the tutor in Route 16. Afterwards, he will ask to be shown a Flying type pokemon that knows both a Dragon type move and a Fire type move. The easiest to find is a Pidgey or one of his evolutions, teach it Sunny Day via TM and Twister via level up move (Heat Wave also works as a fire type move). HOWEVER, HIDDEN POWER WILL NOT WORK! This pokemon must also have atleast 60 IVs totaled between Atk, Def, Speed and Spatk. After you do this, he will now ask for a Dragon type pokemon that you caught (it must be your OT) at level 100 with over 25 IV in either ATK or SPATK with 252 EVs trained in either ATK or SPATK with both the Dragon Dance move and any Fire type move. Your best bet is to get a Dratini with really high Atk / Spatk IV and teach it Dragon Dance and Fire Punch once it's fully evolved to Dragonite (Flamethrower or Fire Blast also works). Finally, talk to him. He will now battle you, and if you defeat him, you'll earn the Megastone for Mega Charizard X! Mega Absol Mega Absol's Quest begins in Hoenn Safari Entrance (just in front of the Building, above Mt Pyre, to the west of Lilycove City). Credits to Kira as mentioned above in the Ampharos quest. Talk to the NPC in front of the Hoenn Safari to participate in a tournament. You must use three pokemon to fight the NPCs, one of your pokemon must be an Absol with your OT, it MUST NOT be a low level one or have low ATK ivs. The three opponents use: Richard - Gengar, Bisharp, Alakazam Nathan - Gliscor, Ferrothorn, Chansey Isaac - Garchomp, Volcarona, Serperior Serena - Greninja, Jolteon, Altaria, Meowstic Male, Mega Absol, Clefable. You can use items in these battles. If you lose, there will be a cooldown to refight them. Defeat all the NPCs and you will earn the Mega Absol Megastone. Mega Lopunny Mega Loppuny's Quest begins in Amity Square, Hearthorne City, Sinnoh. You must bring a Female Lopunny (with yout OT) with Cute Charm, with the moves Charm, Baby-Doll Eyes, Teeter Dance, Sweet Kiss. Talk to the Shiny Mega Lopunny in Amity Square. Find the three Lopunny hidden all over Sinnoh. Hidden locations for them; First one is in Jubilife City's School: it's behind one of the bookcases. Talk to Lopunny in Amity Square and proceed to the next one. Second is in Mt Coronet Summit: It's above the cave you come out if you try to get the Dig Spots. Talk to Lopunny again. Third is in Floaroma Meadow, near the Honey House. Then, go to Amity Square and talk to Lopunny to begin the Beauty Contest. You must bring your Lopunny to the contest and submit it. Mega Glalie Credits to Epik93! Mega Glalie's Quest begins in Vermillion Library. Interact with the books inside of the Library in the northeastern bookshelf. One of them will show you clues. The stones you will read now are written in Morse Code, and there are translators available online (or if you're too lazy just follow this guide lmaooo). There are fragments in four locations, but you have to (theoretically) do them in no specific order, until the last one, which is in Shoal Cave. Ice Path (Johto) / Seafoam Island (Kanto) / Lake Acuity (Sinnoh) / The last one is the remain ice stone at Shoal Cave (Hoenn) Now, travel to Ice Path B1F. You must interact with the Big Ice Rock. After you do so, wait 2 PokeTime minutes, and interact with it again. You can reach it under the northernmost hole. Don't do it too early or too late. If this does not work, wait two real life minutes. Just grab an online time counter and do this lol. 24 seconds in real life = 2 poketime minutes, You must now travel to Seafoam Islands B4F. You need to have a pokemon with the move Flash in their moveset. Enter from the left entrance (from Fuchsia's side). Take the first ladder. Go south and to the right, ignore all ladders and take the last stairs, go and talk to the Regi stone there. Travel to Lake Acuity. Talk to the second rock on the lake. You need to surf anticlockwise around the entire lake while being just next to the land area, follow the blue line between the lake and the grass. Start from the south, go to the right, up, left, down, until you reach the starting point. If you do it properly, a dialogue will pop up. Use the refresh button sometimes to ensure lag does not teleport you to a different tile. Once you've done one or two full laps around the entire lake, interact with the Regi stone. Now you must bring a weak Glalie (its total ivs need to be lower than 70, which means your Glalie must be incredibly bad), place it in the 6th slot of your party and travel to Shoal Cave, low tide (Poketime must be 03:00 to 09:00 or 15:00 to 21:00). Finally, travel to Pewter Museum with a full Ice type pokemon team, interact with the NPCs and you will receive the Glalie Megastone! Mega Blaziken, Mega Swampert and Mega Sceptile Mega Hoenn Starters' Quest begins in Devon Corporation, Rustboro City. (Credits to Rimanmblo#6387) To begin the Mega Swampert quest, you must travel to Devon Corporation in Rustboro City (Hoenn). Talk to the Receptionist and then talk to Teseo in the Second Floor. Bring one of the three Hoenn Starters you captured in their initial form. (This is confusing info but: You can theoretically use an EV trained low level Starter and they will be auto leveled to 50, this is unconfirmed though). Now, Travel to Route 126 Underwater. Head to the north, there is a small passage to the left with a cave entrance. Enter the cave (Cursed Keystone Grotto), cross it and dive out the water. You will find a Scientist. Talking to him will begin a series of multiple fights where you can teach your Starter pokemon new moves and change its EV spread between each fight. Each Starter has to win six different battles, you have up to 10 chances (unconfirmed) to do it all and after you win all fights you will receive the Megastone for your respective starter. I copy and paste the following important info from Shizeria: Bonus info on Hoenn Mega Starter quest~ The number of retries you get for a Pokemon depends on the various stats of your Pokemon: 1 base retry. Every 35 total IV points gives +1 retry, theorically up to +5 at 175 IV total. +1 retry for each of the following achieved: Over 240 happiness, 510 total EVs, level 100. Shiny or special form gives +2 retries. The total amount of retries cannot go below 2 retries. This means that the theorical maximum amount of retries you can have is 11 retries, although you would more likely reach 7-8 retries with a fully trained good catch. You also gain one more retry everytime you win a round. As such, even a bad Pokemon will still be able to benefit from retries if you know the strategy for the first few rounds! Mega Latias and Mega Latios Credits to multiple users who helped me! Mega Latias and Latios Quest begins in Hoenn Weather Center, Hoenn. You must have previously caught either Latias or Latios prior to beggining this quest. To begin the Mega Latios and Mega Latias quest, head to the Hoenn Weather Center in the Route to the southwest of Fortree City. You must only have two pokemon in your party and one must know the move Fly. You will fight Latios and Latias and after talking to the professor you will enter a maze. This maze seems to be randomized. It's a trial and error quiz, if you make any mistakes you will have to redo the entire maze. However, the maze does not randomize again if you make a mistake, so you can repeat and write down the correct answers and keep trying. Once you finish, you'll fight the Lati duo again, and then you will have to fight a Boss with a Volcarona and Mega Gengar and then finally fight Mega Latios and Mega Latias to obtain your Mega Latias and Mega Latios stones. Credits for the info provided: Rimanmblo for the two megas above, my entire Alliance and guildmates for providing all the info they find as a team. Also credits to the ones mentioned above!
