Pokemon Crystal Hints

All you have to do, is go and find a really strong trainer ( maybe even the Elite Four ) and send out your really weak pokemon that you want to level up fast. Before the trainer attacks, switch your weak pokemon to a really tough pokemon. Then, use your tough pokemon to attack the trainer's pokemon and defeat it. When you are done with the battle, your tough pokemon will get exp. points AND your weak pokemon will get a good share of exp. points too! It will level up until it finally stops! Then, just keep repeating the process until your weak pokemon becomes a powerful pokemon.

When you are out in the tall grass, make sure you have a pokemon that knows the HM CUT, then go out into the tall grass and use CUT, your pokemon will slice a few strips of grass!

Here is how to get a shiny pokemon in Pokemon Crystal Version: Well, the way that probably everyone knows, go to the lake of rage and find the red gyarados in the middle.

But for a less obvious way: On route 34 (or whatever route comes right before Goldenrod) you should see a building with a pen. That's the daycare, make sure you have an empty slot in your party. Talk to the old guy in there, but save before you do. He will give you the Odd Egg, it will hatch into 1 of 7 pokemon: Tyrouge, Magby, Elekid, Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, or Smoochum. That's why you save before you get the egg, and DO NOT SAVE AT ANY OTHER TIME UNTIL THE EGG HATCHES, OTHERWISE IT'LL BE THE SAME POKEMON EVERY TIME. I read on some website that the egg has a 14% chance of hatching a shiny pokemon, so that's another reason you should save before you get the egg and no other time at all (until it hatches, if you like it, save, if you don't, try again) It works, trust me, my first egg was a cleffa, so I turned it down, because I wanted a magby. My second egg: Shiny Magby. Try it out, it might take a few tries though. The person I got it from said after 15 eggs, he got what he wanted, a Shiny Elekid.

Note: The baby starts with Dizzy Punch no matter what it hatches into out of those 7.

I hope this helped! ; )
