Hint: Get to Slateport City and Mauville
City: When you get Surf, go northeast from Oldale Town into
Route 103. You will see a body of water. Surf east and you will
get to Slateport City and Mauville City faster then the bigger
water Route 104-109.

Hint: Johto starters: When you get 200 Pokemon of the Hoenn Pokedex, Professor
Birch will call you on your Pokenav and say that he wants to give
you a surprise. You can now choose one of the three Johto starters
(Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile).
Information in this section was contributed by darkchaos526
and Tinitta Hodge.
Get three Pokemon Emerald games and agree to get a different
Pokemon when you complete your Hoenn Pokedex on each of them.
For example, you would choose Cyndaquil, and the person with the
other game would choose Chikorita, and the third would choose
Totodile. Then, get a Ditto, breed all of the starters, and trade
them to each other to get all three.
Information in this section was contributed by Rebeccanmanley.
Hint: Original starters: Win the Battle Frontier completely (Gold and Silver)
and talk to Birch. He will give you one of your choice.
Information in this section was contributed by Blake Magnus.
Hint: Recommended starter: In the beginning of the game when Prof. Birch is in
danger of being chased by a wild Poochyena, Zigzagoon choose Mudkip
as your starter Pokemon. If you do not choose Mudkip, you will
have a difficult time dealing with Flannery and her Fire Pokemon.
If you choose Torchic or Treecko, the battle will take longer.
If you chose Mudkip, you can end the gym battle in a few attacks.
Just use Mud Shot. It is kind of like a Water attack, but stronger
and will deal more damage than Water Gun if your Swampert is at
level 36.
Information in this section was contributed by Bobby Vadhanapanich.
Should start out with a Sceptile, because the champion Wallace
has a Water type. Get it to level 70.
Information in this section was contributed by asim shah.
Select Torchic as your starter. When you are first going from
Rustboro to Mauville, you must fight your rival. He or she is
very difficult to defeat with a Mudkip or Sceptile. Also, Blaziken
is the strongest in the end.
Information in this section was contributed by Jordan Miller.
The two best Pokemon to have at the start are Lotad (his absorb
can defeat Roxanne) and Torchic (when he evolves, his Peck can
defeat Brawly).
Information in this section was contributed by Billy Reddy.
Mudkip is the best starter because when it Evolves into a Marshtomp
it becomes a Ground and Water type Pokemon. If you want the best
results out of all of the Gym leaders, then use a Swampert. It
cannot be hit by Electric moves and it works well against Fire
type if taught Ground moves.
Information in this section was contributed by Anthony Edwards.
Mudkip is the best starter for trainers that like to challenge
Gym leaders. When it evolves it becomes a Water and Ground type,
which is helpful for the Electric gym and the Fire gym. There
are also many advantages to this type, because it cannot be hit
by Electric moves.Overall, Mudkip becomes the strongest starter.
Information in this section was contributed by Tony Crucial.
Hint: Mystery Gift option: Enter any Pokemon Mart and go to the clipboard that
is by the shop keeper on the counter. Take the survey and enter
in the words "LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL". The man will
then alert you that you can now have access to the Mystery Gift
option, after saving. To make it easier to find the word you are
looking for, press Select, which will take you to A-Z mode,
then select the a letter to bring up a list of words, beginning
with the first letter of the word that it begins with.
Hint: Alakazam: If evolved before level 33, Alakazam learns Calm Mind
At level 33 as opposed to if it was a Kadabra, when it learns
Role Play. This means you do not have to waste your TM04.
Hint: Bagon: Bagon is the first stage of Salamence (Drake's best
Pokemon, which is Dragon and Flying type). You can find it in
the smallest room in Meteor Falls. On the rectangular piece of
land, you will find TM02 (Dragon Claw), which gives Attack 80
and Accuracey100. Bagon evolves into Shellgon, then into Salamence.
Salamence is like a fire dragon; cannot learn water attacks; but
can learn Flying, Fire, and Dragon attacks.
Information in this section was contributed by Userjh69059.
Bagon learns Dragon Claw (without the need for TM02) if it is
kept from evolving until level 49.
Information in this section was contributed by Ray.
A Bagon normally cannot learn a water move. However, if you mate
a Pokemon in the Dragon egg group (level 42 Gyarados with Hydro
Pump recommended) with a female Bagon, and you will get a Bagon
with Hydro Pump. Besides this water move, Bagon cannot learn another
one. This is your only chance to have a Bagon with the strongest
water move.
Information in this section was contributed by Userjh69059.
Go to Meteor Falls and fing the room that is rectanglular with
land, water, land. On the top bit of land is an item. Run around
of the top part and you will have a rare chance of finding Bagon.
Information in this section was contributed by Clairespence69.
To get Bagon you must have the following: all 8 badges, HM 7 Waterfall,
HM 3 Surf, a Pokemon that knows Waterfall and Surf, and a few
Ultra Balls. Go to Meteor Falls and move up the waterfall. Go
forward and there will be a cave opening. Enter it. Go to the
ladder that should be about ten steps ahead of you. Do not bother
going up the first ladder which you see. If you follow the path,
there will be a ladder. Use it to move down. Their will be trainers
once you move down. Ignore the old people and go up to the other
trainer. He will only have two Altaria, which you get at Sky Pillar.
After that, go down the sand piles and stay off to your left or
you will be at the begining. Move down that ladder on the left
after all the sand and surf until you see the cave opening. Then,
surf across that water path and you will see a Pokeball. It is
not the Bagon. It is the TM Dragon Claw (strong move). Walk around
on that little dirt area and eventually, a Bagon will appear.
Golbats also appear frequently. Once a Bagon appears, it will
may be a level 25, 30, or 35. It is also more likely to be male.
Bagon can learn the TM that you just obtained. Get your Bagon
to at least level 30 and it will evolve into a Shelgon. Once the
Shelgon gets to level 50, you will have a Salamence. This Pokemon
can be your strongest if you train it well.
Information in this section was contributed by Mikey7829.
Hint: Beldum: Because Wallace is the champion, you must fight Steven.
Steven is inside Meteor Falls. When you enter, go up the waterfall
and into the door. Next, go down the ladder, then go to the ladder
in the south. Then, go inside the nearby door. Steven should be
to the right. Note: If you are going to battle him, you can defeat
him with Water, Ice (for Cradily), and Fire types for most of
his Pokemon. He has Pokemon over level 70. .After you defeat him,
go to his house in Mossdeep to get the Beldum.
Information in this section was contributed by Andre.
Hint: Blazican: Recommended moves: Recommended moves for Blazican are Double Kick (learns
after evolving to Combuskin), Fire Punch (learned from the Move
Tutor; needs Heart Scale), Blaze Kick (learns after it evolves
from Blaxican), and Skyupercut (learned at levels 60 to 80).

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

Use the following trick to double your starting Pokemon. When
you defeat the Pokemon League, go to the Fossil Maniac's house.
Go into the desert under the pass. Catch a Ditto. Go to Mauville's
Pokemon Daycare. Put a Ditto and your starting Pokemon in. Go
back to Mauville and walk on its main road until the old man next
to the house is outside of the fence. Talk to him and you will
receive a egg. Keep your Pokemon in there if you want more. Once
you hatch it, it will have the same type of the Pokemon you put
in. You can easily beat all of the trainers with a party of Sceptile,
Swampert, or Blaziken. You can also double your other Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by tyler daly.
Hint: Dragonite: Recommended moves: Dragonite should have the moves Outrage, Flamethrower,
Safeguard and Thunderbolt; Item: Persim Berry; Nature: Modest;
Trait: Shed Skin. Keep Safeguard up to prevent Outrage causing
confusion. Persim Berry stops confusion when the opponent uses
Taunt and you cannot use Safeguard. You can knock out opponents
quickly with this set.
Information in this section was contributed by Alex.
Hint: Feebas: A Feebas will appear on Route 119 (fishing), and will
change position when you change the cool phrase in Dewford. Blend
Dry Berries and make Feebas eat them. After its beauty is full,
level up to get Milotic.
Information in this section was contributed by rlwisdom.
You can catch Feebas in Route 119 at the water patch beside the
bird house. Go to the far left as far as possible. Then, go down
as far as possible. You should be at the rocks on the left. Swim
up to the second rock from the bottom. At the bottom of that rock,
and face forward (away from you). Use the Old Rod at this location.

Go to the route where he is and go inside. You will find Groudon
in the Terra cave.
Information in this section was contributed by Gregory.
You should have at least 10 Ultra Balls. When you are battling
Groudon, first use a strong attack. Then you have at least a 90%
chance of Groudon using rest. When it regains its health, go for
another strong move then Ultra ball if it escapes. You will have
to do this all over, but will probably catch Groudon this time.
Information in this section was contributed by cpamanda.
Groudon is found on Route 114 near Fallarbor Town. Note: You must
complete the Pokemon League and have Waterfall and on level 70.

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

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

City. Note: You must complete the Pokemon League and have Surf
and Dive and on level 70.
Information in this section was contributed by JCLOUD93.
Hint: Latios or Latias: After defeating the Elite Four, watch the television
downstairs in your house. Mix your records with a Pokemon Ruby
or Sapphire with the Eon Ticket. Then, go to Southern Island.
First, find whichever one that the news reporters described on
television. Catch it (preferably with a Master Ball), then trade
it to the Hoenn or Kanto versions. Then, start the game over and
do it again. Note: This is another easy way of getting Cyndaquil,
Chikorita, and Totodile.
Information in this section was contributed by C Goodwin.
The best place to catch Latias or Latios is at Route 124. You
will need Surf.
Information in this section was contributed by taylor.
Defet the Elite Four. After you do this, you will be in your room
at your house. When you go downstairs, your Dad and Mom will talk
to you. You will then see a special on the television. It will
be about a Pokemon flying over Hoenn. After it is over, your Mom
will ask you what color the Pokemon was. You will have a choice
of red (Latias) or blue (Latios). Choose one of them, then go
outside. Professor Birch will talk to you, then take you to his
lab and give you the National Dex. After this happens, fly to
Mauville. Go in and out of the Pokemon Center then go right towards
the Berry Master's house. Surf across the water, and go past the
beach and the section of grass. There will be two trainers with
yellow hair. Stand in front of the trainer to the right, and not
the one by the sign. Make sure that you are standing in front
of the trainer so that he is looking at you. Walk left and right
in the grass. Do not go up or down; stay in the row of grass until
you find the Lati you chose. You should have A Master ball to
catch it because it will flee after the first turn.
Information in this section was contributed by Jay5908571.
If you chose Blue after you watch the TV after defeating the Elite
Four for the first time, Latios will be on the loose somewhere
in Hoenn. If you face the Battle Tower Brain, Sailor Maiden Anabel
for the Gold Symbol in the Battle Frontier, she should use a Latios
in her party. After you defeat her, Latios will be in your Pokedex
as a Pokemon that you have seen but not caught. Using the "Area"
feature on Latios' entry to track Latios around Hoenn, even if
you have not found him yet. Note: Latios is like the Legendary
Dogs in Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal
and will jump areas when you move from one place to another. Fly
is not recommended due to this behavior.
Information in this section was contributed by Skyle Kelvin.
To catch a Lati without fleeing, go to the Safari Zone. Catch
a Wobbuffet. Store it as your first party Pokemon. Once you find
Latias or Latios it will not flee at the first turn. Try using
a Timer Ball the longer the battle. The best place to catch it
is Route 118.

Hint: Legendary Dogs: Catch Raikou, Suicune, and Entei in Pokemon Coliseum
and trade them over.

Rain Dish. Use Rain Dance to restore HP using Rain Dish. Use Leech
Seed to drain the opponents's HP while recovering your own. Kill
the opponent with Surf. If you get low on HP use Giga Drain (this
move has low PP and should be used sparingly).

Mail. The higher the level of your Skitty, the better the Meowith,
which means you can get Persian faster.

Hint: Metagross: Metagross can learn Meteor Mash at level 50. If you
level a Metang to level 50 it will learn Meteor Mash in the battle,
then evolve it after the battle into Metagross. You will now have

Hint: Nosepass: Keep using Rock Smash until you enter a battle with
a Nosepass.

must hold the King's Rock in a trade. Once it gets to the other
side it will evolve into Politoed.
Information in this section was contributed by BOBBY VADHANAPANICH.
Hint: Rayquaza: Go to Sky Pillar. When Groudon and Kyogre are fighting,
he wakes up and stops the fight. Once you have done that, go back
to Sky Pillar to find Rayquaza. You can get to Sky Pillar by going
to Pacifidlog Town. Go right until you see a crack in the sea.
Go into it. Note: Use a Master Ball on it.
Information in this section was contributed by Jm22marlatt
and Gregory.
Use the following trick to catch Rayquaza, Groudon and Kyogre
easily. Get the Master Ball and go to the Sky Pillar. Do not waste
time on other Pokemon and go to the last floor. You will need
a free space in your Pokemon Party. Catch Rayquaza in the first
turn with the Master Ball. Do not waste time battling him. Rayquaza
will be on level 70 and will know Fly, Extremespeed, Outrage and
another move. Get out of the tower and use Fly to go to Fallarbor
Town. Get a Pokemon that knows Surf and Waterfall. Go to Meteor
Falls. Go to the water. Surf and get up the Waterfall. Touch land
and go down the stairs. Make your own way through. There are two
paths, one left and one right. Go to the left. If you go to the
right, you will find Steven and he will fight you. If you want
to battle him you will need a strong Pokemon of Water or Fire
type. After five minutes on the left path, you will find the TM
Dragon Claw. Teach it to Rayquaza. Do not remove Fly nor Extremespeed.
Also teach him Thunderbolt. Again, do not remove Fly or Extremespeed.
Then, defeat the Elite Four three times. This will make Rayquaza
reach level 75. Do not teach him Hyper Beam. After this, find
Land and Marine Cave. A man in Weather Institute will tell you
where are these caves are found. Go first to Land Cave. Get twenty
Ultra Balls. When you enter the cave, save the game. Battle Groudon.
Use Dragon Claw first, then he will use Rest. Once again, use
Dragon Claw. Throw an Ultra Ball. If he does not use Rest, throw
Pokeballs until he uses Rest. If you kill it, reset the game.
Use the same process to get Kyogre.
Information in this section was contributed by oP.
Make your way to Sky Pillar. You will need a level 42 Mightyena
with Secret Power, Rock Smash, Strength and Bite attacks. You
will also need a Pokemon that is able to paralyze (for example,
a level 45 Raichu with Shockwave). You will also need nine Ultra
Balls, a Timer Ball, a Premier Ball, and a Nest Ball. First, try
to paralyze Rayquaza. If unsuccessful, throw an Ultra Ball at
him. Hold Down while the ball is flying towards the Pokemon,
then release Down and hold A + B as soon
as the Pokeball opens. Try this a few times. Remember to save
the game before fighting Rayquaza so that you can turn off the
game and try again. Note: Rayquaza is controllable if you have
the last badge, and it should help you defeat the Pokemon League
easily, as well as be a great help on the Battle Frontier.
Information in this section was contributed by Taewoong Kim.
Hint: Regice: The cave of Regice is northwest of Dewford island.
There is Braille in the back of the cave of Regice. The statement
reads "Stay close to the wall. Run around the lap."
You must run around the room once while staying close to the wall.
Once you reach the middle of the Braille again, the door will
open and the battle with the icy titan will begin when you go
through the door and press A next to it.
Information in this section was contributed by Aquarion102.
To catch Regice with minimum problems, use Yawn when you have
chopped down its health to the "danger" area. Then,
proceed to use some of the mentioned ball tricks.
Information in this section was contributed by Lope.
Hint: Regirock: To find the cave of the rock titan Regirock, you must
have the Go-Goggles so that you may enter the desert. Once in
the desert, go south to the bottom and enter the cave. In the
back you will see the Braille in the back. Go to the back of the
room and read it. The message translated reads "Left, Left,
Down, Down. Then use Rock Smash." From the middle of the
Braille on the wall move left, left, down, and down. Go with a
Pokemon that knows Rock Smash and use it. The cave door will open.
Save the game, then start the battle with Regirock. Note: Bring
a lot of Ultra Balls.
Information in this section was contributed by Aquarion102.
Hint: Registeel: To find the cave of Registeel, go to Lilycove City.
Go west through the grass and trainers. When you reach the area
of the Safari Zone, keep moving. You will reach a place with a
girl. Just above her are stairs. You must go up. Go through the
very tall grass and go up the stairs behind it. The cave will
not be too far after the stairs. Once inside, read the Braille
at the back of the room. It reads "Those who inherit our
will, shine in the middle." The riddle means that you should
go to the middle of the room and use Flash. The cave door will
open. Be careful with Registeel. This Pokemon is more difficult
than the others to capture. Try bringing a lot of Ultra Balls
or prolong the battle as long as you can by freezing it or putting
it to sleep. After many turns the Timer Ball will have gained
a lot of strength, and it might work against the Registeel.
Information in this section was contributed by Aquarion102.
Hint: Rollout: Rollout's attack power is increased when you use Defense
Curl first.
Information in this section was contributed by Alex.
Hint: Salamence: Salamence can learn Dragon Claw at level 50 if a Bagon
is kept from evolving until level 49. Bagon will learn Dragon
Claw in the Battle. After the battle, let it evolve to Shelgon.
Train your level 49 Shelgon to level 50 and it will evolve into
a Salamence with Dragon Claw. Also, mate a Salamence with a Gyarados
to get a Bagon with Hydro Pump.
Hint: Shedinja: Capture a Nincada then leave one space in your party.
Train your Nincada to level 20 and it will evolve. Then, check
your party and you will have a Shedinja with 1 hp and all the
moves your Ninjask has. Your Shedinja's ability is Wonder Guard,
which will only allow super effective attacks hit it.
Information in this section was contributed by morgan_smith.
Hint: Smeargle: Once you have defeated the Elite Four with all Pokemon
with your ID code, you can go to the Battle Frontier. Once here,
go to the southeastern-most side of the area. There should be
a tree that looks odd. Use the Wailmer Pail to water it. Soodoo
Woodoo should attack. Catch it, run, or kill it. Then, use Surf
on the water where Soodoo Woodoo was located. Go down the waterfall
and go to the left. There should be a cave. In the cave is a Smeargle.
It knows one attack, Sketch. Sketch allows it to copy the last
move that someone uses against it. Once you have obtained one
move for Smeargle, go to the move tutor and teach him Sketch again.
Then, go to a double battle and use Smeargle and the Pokemon that
has the move you want him to learn. He can learn anything mine
knows Strength, Hyper Beam, Outrage, and Thunder. repeat the step
with the move tutor and he can learn any move.
Information in this section was contributed by Airhead91.
Hint: Smeargle: Elemental Blasts: To teach the Elemental Blasts to another Pokemon, Smeargle,
have him or her use Sketch. You will need the Johto starters from
Pokemon XD to do this. Catch a Smeargle that is at least
level 40. . Have the desired Johto starter first in your party
after. Save first. Then, find a Ditto. Have the Ditto use Transform
and change into the Johto starter. Bring out Smeargle and wait
until Ditto uses the blast. Finally, use Sketch and you will now
have Smeargle with that move (if it does not miss). If Sketch
misses, simply restart the process. Do this two more times to
have the others. To save leveling up, ask the Move Guru to re-teach
Sketch to Smeargle.

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

Item: Chesto Berry.
Nature: Adamant.
Moves: Curse, Earthquake, Rest, Body Slam/ Brick Break.
EV's: Maxed in Defense and HP. Any remaining in Attack.
Note: To get Curse, breed a female Mudkip, Marshtomp, or Swampert
with a male Slowpoke, Slowbro, Slowking that has Curse.
Hint: Taunttar: Dragon Dance To get Dragon Dance, breed a Male Gyarados with Dragon
Dance with a Female Charmander, Charmeleon, or Charizard. Then,
breed the first male baby Charmander you get with a female Larvitar,

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

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

Hint: Random Pokemon: Once you have Deoxys, go to the Daycare. Put Deoxys
and Ditto into the Daycare. After awhile you will get an egg,
which will hatch into a random Pokemon.

Hint: Raising stats easily: Use the following strategies to raise the corresponding
stat. Note: Baton Pass works well with any of these move combinations.
Information in this section was contributed by bckdude94.
Attack: Swords dance with Zangoose, Ninjask, or Absol; Dragon
Dance with Gyrados.
Defense: Barrier with Girafferig; Iron Defense with Lairon.
Speed: Ninjask with speed boost (ability); Agility with Dragonair,
Pikachu, or Ledyba; Dragon Dance with Gyrados.
Spec. Defense: Amnesia with Slowbro; Calm Mind with Alakazam works
well.
Spec. Attack: Tail Glow with Volbeat or Illumise; Calm Mind with
Alakazam.
Hint: Combos: If you have Groudon, teach him Solarbeam. His ability
will allow you to use Solarbeam without charging it first. If
you have Kyogre, teach him Thunder. His ability will allow you
to use Thunder without it ever missing its target. It will also
be more powerful. Note: These tactics are no good when fighting
Rayquaza, as his "Airlock" ability will negate all weather
effects.
Information in this section was contributed by Pieter Moonen.
Hint: Weaknesses:
Every Pokemon has at least one weakness. It is helpful if you
know the weakness of all types of Pokemon if you want to win easier.
The following is a list of weaknesses for each type.
Attacking Pokemon (on the left). Normal vs. none
Fire vs. Grass, ice, bug, steel
Water vs. Fire, ground, rock
Grass vs. Water, ground, rock
Electric vs. Water, flying
Ice vs. Grass, ground, flying, dragon
Fighting vs. Normal, ice, rock, dark, steel
Poison vs. Grass
Ground vs. Fire, electric, poison, rock, steel
Flying vs. Grass, fighting, bug
Psychic vs. Fighting, poison
Bug vs. Grass, psychic, dark
Rock vs. Fire, ice, flying, bug
Ghost vs. Ghost, psychic
Dragon vs. Dragon
Dark vs. Psychic, ghost
Steel vs. Ice, rock
Defending Pokemon (on the left) Normal vs. Fighting
Fire vs. Water, Ground, Rock
Water vs. Grass, Electric
Grass vs. Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug
Electric vs. Ground
Ice vs. Fire, Fighting, Rock, Steel
Fighting vs. Flying, Psychic
Poison vs. Ground, Psychic
Ground vs. Water, Grass, Ice
Flying vs. Electric, Ice, Rock
Psychic vs. Bug, Ghost, Dark
Bug vs. Fire, Flying, Rock
Rock vs. Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Steel
Ghost vs. Ghost, Dark
Dragon vs. Dragon, Ice
Dark vs. Fighting, Bug
Steel vs. Fire, fighting, ground
Many Pokemon have two types, making it complicated to find its
weakness, depending on the types. 99% of Pokemon with two types
have a weakness that is simple to find. However, some are tricky.
For example, Kingdra has one weakness, Dragon. Although some Pokemon
like Sabyleye and Spiritomb (Pokemon Diamond/Pearl) may
be Ghost and Dark type, they both still have one weakness, Fighting.
However, because they are part Ghost, the only way to lay a punch
on it is to use Foresight with a Machoke or a Hairyama (which
makes all normal and fighting attacks effective against Ghosts
regularly effective), and then using a Fighting type move to be
extra effective. This is because Fighting is strong against Dark.
Note: Foresight is not the only move that has this ability. Odor
Sleuth is another move that works.

Hint: Baton Passers: Information in this section was contributed
by Alex.
To pass on Attack: Ninjask with Swords Dance (this is also good
for speed).
To pass on Defense: Mr. Mime with Barrier.
To pass on Speed: Ninjask (recommended) or Girafarigwith Agility
(Ninjask also has Speed Boost trait).
To pass on Special Defense: Gorebyss with Amnesia.
To pass on Special Attack: There are no moves that sharply increase
Sp. Atk, so your best chance would be an Espeon with Calm Mind
(this also increases Special Defense).
Note: If you pass on Speed, in rain, to a Pokemon with the Swift
Swim trait, or a Pokemon with Chlorophyll in Sun, their speed
will be increased even more.
Hint: Stop evolution: To prevent your Pokemon from evolving, press B
while it is transforming into its next stage.
Information in this section was contributed by GrimAngel410.
Hint: Easy evolution: After defeating all eight gyms, capture Kyogre, Rayquaza,
and Groundon. Then, go to the Pokemon League. Go to the computer
and deposit every Pokemon except for the three legendaries (Groudon,
Kyogre, and Rayquaza). Choose three Pokemon you want to evolve
and put an Exp. Share on one. Put that Pokemon first on your list.
Go through and challenge the Elite Four. At the start of each
battle, switch your Pokemon with Exp. Share on it with a legendary
one. Continue battling with other legendary Pokemon until your
Pokemon evolves. Then, take the Exp. Share off that Pokemon and
put it on another one you want to evolve. Repeat this process
as desired.

Ride the bike for about fifteen or twenty minutes then talk to
the trainers you already fought. Repeat this until your Pokemon
are level 100.

Hint: Route 110: Easier PokeFans win: If you battle the two PokeFans standing next to each
other (entering from Slateport City) separately, their Pokemon
are less powerful.
Information in this section was contributed by Zuriki.
Hint: Safari Zone: The Safari Zone is the same as the one in Pokemon
Ruby and Sapphire. The only difference is that after
you defeat the Elite Four, two more areas appear full of Johto
Pokemon that you could not get in any other games (besides Pokemon
Colosseum).

Tower and enter it with the Mach Bike. Go up and get past the
cracks with the Mach Bike. At the top, you will find two fossils.
Do not bother thinking about which one to choose, because you
will eventually also get the other one. Once you take a fossil,
go to Fallarbor Town. Go left to find the Fossil Maniac's house.
Go to the back, and head towards the cave. Once in the cave, go
up two steps, get on your bike, then move straight to the right.
You will eventually reach the other fossil. You can also find
Ditto, Wishmur, and Loudred in that cave. Note: Get your fossils
regenerated by a scientist on the second floor of Devon Corp.

In order to get two Fossils, you must choose one of the two Fossils
found in Mirage Tower on Route 111 in the Desert. After you defeat
the Pokemon League, get on the ferry boat The S.S. Tidal with
the S.S. Ticket which you obtain after defeating the Pokemon League
from your father. Scott will tell you that the next time you get
on the ferry, you will have the option to go to the Battle Frontier.
When you have reached your destination, talk to the lady next
to the ferry. She will give you the option to go to the Battle
Frontier. Choose to go there. When you arrive, go in the building
and Scott will arrive. After that the lady that greeted you will
explain things. Exit the building at the opposite end you entered
and enter the Battle Frontier. Go to Scott's house, which is located
two houses to the left of the Battle Tower. He will give you three
Battle Points. Stay there until you see that one of the Gym leaders
wants a rematch. Battle them. Then, wait for the next Gym leader.
Battle them. Then, go to Fallarbor Town. Go to the Fossil Maniac's
house on Route 114 to the left of Fallarbor Town. Enter and go
to the Fossil Maniac. Keep walking until he tells you not to go
in because he thought there were no fossils. Enter the cave that
you see. This is the Desert Underpass. There you will encounter
Ditto and other Pokemon for the first time. Go as far to the right
in the cave as possible until you see a Fossil. Go up to it, and
you will discover that it is the opposite from the one that you
found in Mirage Tower on Route 111 in the Desert. Pick it up and
go to Rustboro. Once there, go to the second floor of Devon and
talk to the man at the bottom right of the screen. He will tell
you that he is working on a device to resurrect fossils of Pokemon.
He will ask if he can resurrect your Fossil. Answer "Yes".
Go to the Pokemon Center and make a space in your party. Go back
to the same person and you will get the opposite Pokemon; if you
picked Claw Fossil you will get Root Fossil and vice versa.
Information in this section was contributed by Chapman Harmstad.
When you go to the Mirage Tower and pick up one of the two Fossils,
the other is lost. Once you defeat the Elite Four, go to the Fossil
Maniac's house (Route 114). Go into his little tunnel. At the
end there is another tunnel. Go in it. Go to the very end and
you will find the Fossil that you did not get earlier. Note: This
is also the only place that you can catch Dittos.
Information in this section was contributed by dragonmasterjack.
Hint: Dark Glasses: After defeating the boy or girl on Route 110, you are
able to enter Mauville City (after some trainers). Make your way
to Verdanturf Town. You will enter a tunnel at the top of Verdanturf
Town. When you are inside the tunnel, there should be two ways
to go: a path that leads you to another open spot and another
that leads you to Rustboro City. Take the path that leads you
to an open spot. There should be a person that asks you to help
him find his glasses. Use the Itemfinder. It should ring. Look
around the trees on the bottom. Press A around the grass
and you will find the Dark Glasses. Talk to the person and he
will say that they are not his glasses. He gives up and walks
away. You now own the Dark Glasses.

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

until you think you have it . Then, go to Vandaserf's Pokemon
Center and heal. If one of your Pokemon have it, after you heal
a new message should appear. If you happen to get this rare disease

and can spread quickly. Note: This virus does not hurt your Pokemon.
It should last about two days. After it has worn off, it will
leave a small dot beside the Pokeball that you caught it with.

tell you about an underground place called New Mauville. Once
he has given you the Basement Key to shut off the generator down
there, go south of Mauville to Route 110. When you are at the
Seaside Cycling Road entrance, look south of it. You should see
a place between some trees where you can surf. Use Surf, and once
out on the water, move to your right (underneath cycling road)
until you reach a cave on a little piece of land. Go in, find
the generator, and shut it off. Then, go back to Mauville and
talk to Wattson. He will give you TM24 Thunderbolt.
Information in this section was contributed by vanyamuina.
Hint: Thunder Stone: There are two ways to receive a Thunder Stone. The
first by going to Mauville City and talking to Wauhtson. He will
give you a Basement Key. Then, surf under the Bicycle Road to
find a cave. You will find Voltorbs, Magnemite, and Magnetons.
It is recommended that you use a repel. Collect all items you
see, but be careful. About three of the Pokeballs will be Voltorbs.
Once you have turned off the generator, there will be a ball there.
Get it and that is your Thunder Stone. The second methid is slightly
difficult. If you find any shards, check its color. The color
is the stone that will you get. You must fly to Mossdeep City
and talk to every person in every house. Note: They change houses
frequently. Talk to them and give them your shard to get your
stone.

Hint: Save TM: When you have lost any important TM (Shadow Ball, Thunder,
Fire Blast, Psychic, etc.), catch or transfer a Ditto. Grab the
Pokemon that has the TM then breed it. You will now have the first
Pokemon with a TM. This trick is useful when you have lost Eartquake,
also is useful when you have any Pokemon to Battle Frontier higher
than level 50. Only breed it then you will have the Pokemon with
some attack learned by the Pokemon. When you need other Pokemon,
try to breed other Pokemon than Ditto. Find a combination until
you find a Pokemon. Note: This trick cannot be used with legendary
Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by brig cool hop.
Hint: Volt Tackle move: Volt Tackle is the electric type double edge. To get
it, catch Pikachus in the Safari Zone until you catch one that
has a Light Ball. Note: It is much easier to find Pikachus if
you have a Pokemon with the ability Static in front of your party.
Then, breed Pikachus with one holding the Light Ball. The baby
Pichu will have Volt Tackle as one of its moves.

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

Have Zigzagoon or Linoone in your party. During your quests check
the Pokemon menu by pressing Start and select the word
"Pokemon". If Zigzagoon/Linoone shows an indication
that it is holding an item take it. The following are possible
items you can get. If you do not need the items, sell them for
extra money. Note: It is recommended to have him join your team
because he can learn Electric attack moves.
Information in this section was contributed by Arc bLAde08.
Zigzagoon Common: Full heal, Antidote, Escape Rope, and Repel
Rare: Rare Candy and Nugget
Linoone Common: Ultra Ball, Great Ball and X Attack
Rare: Nugget and Rare Candy
Hint: Easy catches: Whenever you want to catch a wild Pokemon, you should
first get one of your Pokemon to use moves such as Leer, Growl,
and Flash. This will weaken your opponent. Attacking it might
also help, but make sure that you do not defeat it. Also bring
many Pokeballs with you.

When you throw a ball at a Pokemon, quickly tap B continuously.

Hint: Easy wins: This trick requires a Shedinja, a Pokemon that knows
Skill Swap, and a Ghost-Dark hybrid, and can only be used in a
double battle. Enter the Shedinja and the Pokemon that knows Skill
swap into battle first. Have the Pokemon that knows Skill swap
use it on Shedinja. Then, switch Shedinja out with your Ghost-Dark
hybrid, and have the Pokemon who knows Skill Swap use it on your
Ghost-Dark hybrid. Because no move can deal Super Effective damage
to a Ghost-Dark hybrid, using this trick to swap Shedinja's Wonderguard
over to one will make it completely invincible. However, even
with Wonderguard, the Ghost-Dark hybrid will only be invulnerable
to attacks. This means that special conditions, recoil, etc. will
still do damage to it.

Hint: Easy healing without a Pokemon Center:
If there is a PC around, deposit all your Pokemon using
"Move Pokemon". Get a pokemon you do not need. You must
do this because you cannot put in all six Pokemon at once. Then,
turn off the PC and log off it completely. Immediately get back
on and get your Pokemon again. They should now have maximum PP
and HP.
Information in this section was contributed by taixi_grl.
Hint: Heal easily with a Cacnea or a Cacturne:
Get a Cacnea or a Cacturne and level it up so that
it learns Leech Seed, Ingrain and Absorb. Next, get the item "Leftovers"
and have Cacnea or Cacturne hold it. Use Leech Seed, then use
Ingrain, and keep doing Absorb or another attack. At the end of
each turn, Leftovers will also give you some HP. You can also
have Cacturne or Cacnea use Sandstorm. This does some damage and
also increases Cancea's or Cacturne's evasion (because of Sand
Veil).

Hint: Hatch eggs faster: Note: This trick works for hatching eggs as well as
boosting up your Daycare Center Pokemon's experience. First, make
sure you have the Mach bike so that you can go faster. Fly to
Mauville City. Go in front of the town sign, then get on your
bike. Go as far left as you can, then back to the right and repeat.
You will get a lot of steps very quickly because it is a long
ride with nothing to bump into, which will make your Pokemon grow
faster. It usually takes about five minutes of this to hatch an
egg.
Information in this section was contributed by Moversgirl.
When trying to hatch eggs faster, place a Pokemon in your party
whose ability is either Flame Body or 'Magma Armor (for example,
Slugma or Macargo). The ambient heat will incubate the egg and
cause it to hatch twice as fast.
Information in this section was contributed by TheLegendaryMike!!.
Hint: Egg hatching: If you are trading (for example, starting Pokemon),
and you want their OT to be you, just trade the eggs. When the
Pokemon hatch, they will be OT'd you.
Information in this section was contributed by John Evelyn.
Hint: Berry collecting: There are a few people that give you one or more berries.
Information in this section was contributed by eenhoorn roos.
Sootopolis City: Kiri will give you two berries.
Lilycove City: The gentleman will give you one berry.
Route 120: The little girl telling you about taking care of berries
will give you one berry.
Route 111: The woman near Trainer Brooke will give you one berry.
Route 114: The boy under Lanette's house will give you one berry.
The Berry Master will give you two berries and his wife will give
you one berry.
Hint: Refill PP without using Ether or
Elixir: Note: This trick can only be done is the move is a
TM. It can not be a HM. Delete the move you wish to be refilled
with another TM. After you have done this, change the move you
have just taught your Pokemon with the first move. For example,
if you want to refill your Fire Blast and do not have any Ethers
or Elixirs, change Fire Blast with Flamethrower. Then, teach your
Pokemon Fire Blast with a TM. This can be done as many times as
desired, as you have enough TMs.

Hint: Quick Solarbeam: First use a Sunnyday, then for the next five turns
you can use Solarbeam without having to gather energy on the first
turn.
Information in this section was contributed by Nighthawk.
Hint: The sick girl: If you visit houses at Rustboro, there is a little
girl surrounded by Pokemon plush dolls. Her father asks if you

multiple times without losing. You will then get to fight their
tough Pokemon teams. After you defeat a brain the first time,
you will get a silver symbol. If you manage to defeat them twice,
you will win a gold symbol. The number of times you must win the

Hint: Frontier Brain battles: The following is a list of all the Battle Frontier
Brains and their Pokemon choices. Their Pokemon are the same level
as yours. Note: When you fight a Brain for the gold symbol (second
time), their Pokemon will change to a random party. Some of their
Pokemon's moves are random and will vary.
Information in this section was contributed by Jake Mills.
Battle Tower: Salon Maiden Anabel Alakazam: Thunderpunch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, ????
Entei: Fire Blast, Return, Roar, ????
Snorlax: Body Slam, Belly Drum, Shadow Ball, ????
Hint: Battle Frontier: You should use different Pokemon roles for different
battle facilities.
Battle Tower: Try a Sweeper, a Drainer and another tactical position
(Tank, Toxicshuffler etc.)
Battle Arena: Sweepers: one Physical, one Special, one Mixed.
Battle Pyramid: Use two Sweepers and a Criti-Ken (Blaziken set)
as he is good for the Boss.
Battle Factory: The Rental Pokemon are the only option, but make
sure you use good sets. Pokemon that have Toxic are useful.
Battle Palace: Sweepers are your best option. Make sure the Physicals
have Adamant Nature and the Specials have Modest Nature. Do not
use Mixed Sweepers. This facility is all about natures. There
is a little girl in a house somewhere who tells you what your
Pokemon like to do in the Battle Palace. If she says "It
likes to battle", it will use attacking moves most often.
If she says "It looks after itself", it mostly uses
moves such as Protect, or ones that raises its stats. If she says
"It likes to be sneaky", it mostly uses moves that inflict
status conditions on the opponent or lower its stats. Sometimes
she will say "If it gets enough ouchies, it will do something
different". This means that when its HP gets below half,
it will do what she says (above).
Battle Dome: Tanks and Sweepers are best.
Battle Pike: Sweepers.
Hint: Easy Tough Contest wins: Catch a Mawile in the wild, or have one traded from
another version. Train it. At level 41, Mawile will want to learn
Iron Defense. Teach it Iron Defense. At level 46, Mawile will
want to learn Stockpile, Swallow, and Spit Up. Teach it all three
of those moves without making it forget Iron Defense. Then, max
out its Tough condition. After that, go to the chairman of the
Pokemon Fan Club with your Mawile in the lead. If you maxed out
its Tough condition, he should give you a Yellow Scarf. Give it
to Mawile. Then, take part in a Tough Contest. Have Mawile do
moves in the following order: Stockpile, Swallow, Stockpile, Spit
Up, Iron Defense. If you follow these steps exactly, you will
win even the Master Rank contests without much of a problem.
Information in this section was contributed by Samuel Clifton.
Hint: Easy Battle Dome wins: Get an Absol level 50 that knows Perish Song and an
Exploud that knows Protect and Double Team. On the first turn
use Perish Song and Double Team. Then with Exploud use Protect,
then Double Team, etc. After three turns, all Pokemon will faint
except fir Exploud.

Hint: Finding the Team Aqua leader: Go to the Team Aqua hideout right off Lilycove City
before you have been to Magmas Hideout on Jagged Pass. Inside,
there are two Team Aqua members. One tells you where Archie is,
and the other tells what he is doing.
Information in this section was contributed by Ella McIntosh.
Hint Trick Master hiding places: The Trick Master's house is located at Route 110.
Maze 1: Go to the top right corner of the table and select it.
Maze 2: Go to the right plant.
Maze 3: Go to the right drawer (without the mirror).
Maze 4: Go to the left window.
Maze 5: Go to the left plant.
Maze 6: Go to the mirror on the right.
Maze 7: Go to the right window.
Maze 8: Go to the left bottom cushion and select it. He is there,
but invisible.
Note: In some of the mazes you will need an HM Move to get through.
The HM moves you will need are Cut (for Maze 1), Rock Smash (for
Maze 3), and Strength (for Maze 4).
Information in this section was contributed by Bobby Vadhanapanich.
Hint: Defeating Flannery: If you do not have Mudkip for your starter Pokemon,
catch a Tailow or a Swellow. Make sure it is level 32 or higher
and knows Wing Attack. When she sends out Camerupt (her third
Pokemon), she will probably tell it to use Earthquake. Tailow
and Swellow are Flying-type Pokemon. Wing Attack does well against
Fire-type Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by hurley.
Hint: Defeating Leader Juan: The last gym leader is very difficult to defeat and
may just be harder than the champion himself. Four of his Pokemon
are relatively easy to defeat. First, he will use Luvdisc. It
can be defeated with one strong Electric attack (preferably Thunderbolt).
Next, he will use Whiscash. Do not use Electric attacks because
Whiscash is also a Ground type. Defeat him using a Grass type
(a Water type can also be used). He will then use Walrein. Again,
a strong Electric attack should do. His fourth Pokemon is a Water/Dark
type. An Electric or a Fighting type can defeat it with ease.
The last of his Pokemon is a level 46 Kingdra. It mostly uses
Double Team, so you cannot hit him, and if you manage to hurt
him he will use Rest to recover. Other than that, he attacks with
Ice Beam and Water Pulse. Your best chance is to have a fast Pokemon
(preferably a Crobat or Absol) and teach it Taunt. Make sure you
can use Taunt before Kingdra starts to use Double Team. If Taunt
works, he can only use Ice Beam or Water Pulse and a few decent
Ice or Dragon type attacks should take him out.
Information in this section was contributed by Pieter Moonen.
Hint: Defeating the Pike Queen: The Battle Pike is at the Siviper by the Pokemon Center
on the left. When you defeat it at open level or level 50, the
lady who tells you directions will say that a horrible fate is
about to befall you. When you go into a room. she might heal one
or two of your Pokemon. You will then battle the Pike Queen. Note:
She will have Siviper, Shuckle and Milotic. Try using a Psychic
Pokemon such as Alakazam, with Psychic and Thunderpunch.
Information in this section was contributed by cay lubb.
Get a Houndoom at level 50 give it the moves Flamethrower, Taunt,
Double-Edge, and Faint attack. Then, get a Ampharos with Thunderbolt,
Strength, Mega Punch, and Dynamic Punch. Get a Quassire with Surf,
Earthquake, Ice Beam, and Slam. All the first forms of the three
Pokemon are found in the Safari Zone after the Pokemon League.
First, use Houndoom's Flamethrower two times on Seviper. Be wary
of Seviper's move Swagger. Then, switch Houndoom with Ampharos,
because the next pokemon is Milotic (a Water type). Use Thunderbolt
until it faints. Her last Pokemon is Shuckle. The Pokemon has
no attack moves. It has Rest and Toxic. Bring out Houndoom and
first use Taunt and Flamethrower. Use Taunt after Flamethrower,
then repeat that in a pattern until it faints. If you use Taunt,
Shuckle uses Struggle. You will then probably get the Luck Symbol.

Hint: Defeating the Elite Four: Take a normal level Pokemon with a one hit K.O. move
and a lock on move. Also have a large number of Ethers and Max
Potions. Just lock on and attack for and easy K.O.

Use the following Pokemon against the Elite Four:

To defeat Drake The Dragon Master, make sure you have a level
80 Rayquaza. Use the TM Dragon Claw on it. Once you fight Drake
The Dragon Master, use Dragon Claw on all of his Pokemon. All
of them should faint. You can then move on to Wallace the champion.
Information in this section was contributed by killer_ivan_06.
Make sure you have a level 79 Kyogre, level 73 Groudon, and level
83 Raquaza (in that order) in your party. For first two Elites,
use Kyogre (Hydro Pump and Water Spout). For the Ice, use Groudon
(Solar Beam and Fire Blast). For the dragon Elite, use Raquaza
(Dragon Claw on all). Use Raquaza for Wallace (Dragon Claw on
Wailord, and try Fire Blast or Hyper Beam on the rest).
Information in this section was contributed by STARSKY10265.
Sidney has a Shiftry and a Cacturn. Get Swampert to use Earthquake
and they should die in two turns. Phoebe has Ghost type Pokemon.
Have Swampert use Muddy Water and they should die in two or three
turns. Note: Surf is also good; teach it to Tentacruel. Glacia
has Ice type Pokemon. Use Swampert's Earthquake and they should
die in one or two turns. Note: Have a Walrein use Earthquake.
This is optional if you do not have two Pokemon with Earthquake.
The battle will take longer. Have a lot of Max Potions. Drake
has a Salamance. Have a Pokemon use Dragon Breath (Flygon recommended).
For Shelgon, use Muddy Water. For Wallace, use Earthquake for
all except Garadose. For him, use Water Gun and Muddy Water.

First, get through Victory Road. Then, heal up at the Pokemon
Center. Check the levels of all the Pokemon in your party. Train
all Pokemon in your party up to level 50 or higher. Save the game
at the entrance that you use to get into the rooms to fight the
Elite Four when ready. The rest is purely up to skill and chance.
After you defeat an Elite Four member, save the game. If you lose
to the next member, turn off the game and go back to the saved
game after the last member was defeated. This will keep your prize
money in your pocket, and bring back any health restoration items
that you may have used.

Try the following strategy against the Elite Four:
Information in this section was contributed by James Vincie Kaligis.
Sidney: Fighting and Fire-type attacks
Phoebe: Ghost and Dark-type attacks
Glacia : Fighting and Fire-type attacks
Drake: Dragon and Ice-type attacks
Wallace (Champion): Electric and grass-type attack. Note: You
cannot attack Whiscash with Electric-type attack, it has Ground-type.
Instead, use Grass-type attacks to give it 4X damage.
Hint: Elite Four Pokemon: Note: The total experience is 51,157 and money is $32,400.
Information in this section was contributed by Bobby Vadhanapanich.
Hint: Secondary pokemon abilities: There are several abilities that have a secondary effect.
Information in this section was contributed by Alex.
Static: Makes wild Electric-type Pokemon appear more often in
the field if user is first in the party.
Magnet Pull: Makes wild Steel-type Pokemon appear more often in
the field if user is first in the party.
Swarm: Pokemon cry in the background more often in the field.
Compoundeyes: Draws wild Pokemon holding items more often if user
is first in the party.
Intimidate/Keen Eye: Decreases the chance of a wild Pokemon encounter
by 10% if user is first in the party.
Hustle: Wild Pokemon are more likely to have a higher level than
the Pokemon that knows Hustle (which must be first in the party).
Cute Charm: Increases chance of the wild Pokemon being of the
opposite gender to the Pokemon with Cute Charm (which must be
first in the party).
Lightningrod: You wil get calls on your PokeNav from registered
trainers more often.
Synchronize: If Synchronizer is first in the party, wild Pokemon
have a 50% chance of being the same nature as the Synchronizer.
Hint: Factory Head Nolan: After 21 consecutive wins (1 on 1 only), The Factory
Head, Nolan will battle you. He uses rental Pokemon as well. You
cannot determine what Pokemon he is going to use.
Information in this section was contributed by DarkZrex911.
Hint: Stronger Rollout move: When you have a Pokemon with Rollout, using the move
Defense Curl before using Rollout will boost the attack of Rollout
by X1. For example, Marill will learn Defense Curl at level 3,
then will learn Rollout at level 15.
Information in this section was contributed by Nate Drier.
Hint: Finding new Pokemon: If you are working on your Pokedex and cannot seem
to find the Pokemon you need to complete it, enter the appealing
contests in Lilycove City. When you enter, there could be Pokemon
that you cannot find in the wild, only from trainers.
Information in this section was contributed by Otao333.
Use the Match Call on your Pokenav and wait for your opponent
to train their Pokemon to evolve into ones that you have not seen
yet. When this happens, battle them.
Information in this section was contributed by Otao333.
Hint: Avoid Brawly: If you have reached Dewford and battled everyone you
can but cannot defeat Brawly, go through the Granite Cave and
give the letter to Steven. It is possible to get through without
Flash. Once you leave the cave, talk to Mr. Briney. He will now
take you to Slateport. You can now train your Pokemon at Slateport
and continue in the game without battling Brawly. If you do not
have a Pokemon that is effective against Fighting types, catch
a Zubat in the Granite Cave. Then get it to level 21 and have
it learn Wing Attack. It is very effective against Brawly's Pokemon.
Information in this section was contributed by jack woodrup.
Hint: Getting through Dewford Gym easily:
Catch a Sableye or have one traded. Battle using only
it throughout the entire gym. Alternately if you picked Torchic,
keep Combusken from forgetting Peck, which is strong against Fighting
types.
Information in this section was contributed by Samuel Clifton.
Hint: Contest emphasis: Information in this section was contributed

Category: Moves not to use
Cool Contest: Beauty and tough moves
Beauty Contest: Cool and cute
Cute Contest: Beauty and smart
Smart Contest: Cute and tough
Tough Contest: Cool and smart
Hint: Easy badges: Before battling a gym leader, you always want to win
on the first try. Before you challenge a gym leader. find out
the type of Pokemon they have. Try to find an advantage. For example,
if you are battling a Rock Pokemon. send a Grass type Pokemon
to fight. Also try to raise your Pokemon's level by at least 8.
If you still cannot get the badge, raise the level more.
Information in this section was contributed by Pikachu292.
Hint: Secret badges: After defeating the Elite 4 you will get one secret
badge. Battle Scott, and he also will give one as well, and so
will Wally.
Information in this section was contributed by Daniel Bouma-Higgins.
Hint: Missing Pokemon: The following Pokemon are not found in the game and
must be traded from a different version.

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

one of the eggs and breed it with a female Machop that you can
catch just below Mt. Chimney and hatch the egg.

a "??" at random. "??" has no special ability
and only knows "Tackle".

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

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