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!
