Part I: Introduction
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Welcome to The Pokemon World! This is the world that consists powerful and
not-so-powerful creatures for you to tame and battle with. As of the time,
there are 251 Pokemon discovered. Most of the Pokemon could Evolve into even
more powerful Pokemon as their levels progresses. But we'll get into all that
in the Advanced Battling section. First of all, there are Pokemon Centres
for you to go and heal your Pokemon -- FREE of charge! There are also Items
to help heal, power-up, and even catch Pokemon. Just keep all this info in
mind.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Part II: Battling
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This long section is for teaching you all about Advanced Strategies to battle
with.
Offensive Moves
This is the kind of attack that deals damage. There are two kinds of attacks.
Special and Physical. Special attacks will deal more damage if the user's
SPCL. ATK is high. There are a couple of types that has a high  SPCL. ATK
rating. We'll get into Special and Physical attacks later in the FAQ.
You should also keep in mind that if your Pokemon's attacks are full of
offensive moves, you will more than often lose battles with this paticular
Pokemon. It's a good idea to have a mixed aray of moves. Here's Pokemon
Stadium 1's Mewtwo.
------------------------
Pokemon Stadium's Mewtwo
------------------------
Psychic
Thunderbolt
Blizzard
Rest
This is a very carefully trained Mewtwo and is very effective in battle.
Mewtwo's stats are already unmatched, and giving it Rest just about makes
it almost invincible. It also has moves that compliment each other, but
we'll have to get into all that later.
Defensive Moves
These are the kind of moves that annoy people the most, they also deal no
damage -- to the HP that is. These attacks focus on raising your defences to
make you take less damage against physical attacks,speeding up your Pokemon
to get double attacks, raising your Attack power to make Physical Moves hurt
more, raising your SPCL ATK to make Special Attacks deal more damage, or
lowering the oponent's accuracy so you get hit less often.
Items
Items such as Berries of any kind or is made to bulk up your Pokemon -- but
don't misunderstand the matter. Allow me to explain, making your Pokemon
holding an Iron won't make your Pokemon have higher Defence in battle,
instead this will be a waste of Item-giving, if you're not going to raise
your Pokemon's Abilities, why make it hold the item There are also items
that only work on paticular Pokemon. For example, there is an item called
'Light Ball' and this will raise a Pikachu's SPCL. ATK, but  if you try to
give it to any other Pokemon -- including Raichu, it won't work! Here's a
table, of Items that make your attacks Stronger, make you have more accuracy
and other things too! *NOTE* You Get these Items in Gold and Silver!

Psychic attacks
Well there you have it, once again, it's thanks to Nintendo Power Vol. 145
Reading the Situation
This is very vital if you want to win Pokemon battles, if you notice that you
sent out a Ground type and the opponent has an Electric type out, perfect
right Wrong! Most likely the opponent will switch out, so it's better to
use a physical attack. But if you really want to be tricky, use a Rock attack
the opponent will think that it'll have a clear advantage, when BOOM! The
Trainer's Flying Type will be absolutly SLAUGHTERED...I love that word :)
Crippling attacks
These are the attacks that stop your opponent from moving in many ways.
You could Paralyze, Confuse, Freeze, or Flinch your opponent, here's the list
of moves that does that.
------------------
Paralyzing attacks
------------------
Thunder Wave
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Zap Cannon
Stun Spore
Thunderpunch
Dragon Breath
-----------------
Confusing attacks
-----------------
Confuse Ray
Swagger
Dynamic Punch
Supersonic
Psybeam
----------------
Freezing attacks
----------------
Ice Punch
Blizzard
Ice Beam
-----------------
Flinching attacks
-----------------
Super Fang
Rock Slide
Hyper Fang
Fly
Bite
Now that you learned all this info, it's time to start building your Pokemon team.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Part III: Building a Pokemon Team
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
It's time to get your Pokemon Team started, having what you learned so
far, a team has to have Offensive/Denfensive abilities, and a good mix of
Crippling attacks is always good, too. To start off, here's a good basic
Pokemon with a nice combination of crippling/offensive/denfensive moves.
----------------
#200 Misdreavous
---------------
Type: Ghost
Toxic
Shadow Ball
Confuse Ray
Mean Look
Why is this effective Well it's not that effective, but it's a nice
Misdreavous for you to use. It has a good Combo, Mean Look and Toxic, we'll
go in-depth about Move Combos later on. Why is it a good combo First off,
the Trainer should use Mean Look to prevent the Pokemon from switching out.
And after that, attack with Toxic. So the Poison has time to work on the
opponent. And you should also keep in mind that Toxic hurts more with every
turn. So the longer the battle goes on the better for Misdreavous.
With this in mind what should you do now Start thinking of who you want in
your team! And find combos that work good for your Pokemon, we'll get into
all the Combo and stuff related to that in Prefecting your Pokemon Team.
But meanwhile start thinking about your combos! I can't tell you everything,
but I'll try to tell you the most I can.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Part IV: Perfecting your Pokemon Team
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Now that you have got started on the Team building, it's time to make your Team
more effective than it is at the time. Here you will learn about Move Combos
and things like that. Before we begin, you should start looking at your team
for the last time and see if you can figure out what's wrong with it. Here's
some questions you could ask yourself:
Do I have too much of the same type
Are too many of my Pokemon weak to one paticular type
Are any of my Pokemon's moves flooded with the same type
It's now time to get perfect your Pokemon Team...
Here's the first thing to learn...
Move Combos
These are moves that help each other out. To start off, the key here is to
make your attack Stronger or just to make your attack land more often. A
Zap Cannon is almost guranteed never to hit. But if you give it to Magneton,
who eventually learns Lock-On, will make the next attack hit with a 100
percent guarantee. So if I was handling this, I would start off with a
Lock-On, and then hit with a Zap Cannon, with Zap Cannon landing without a
shadow of a doubt, I could breath with no worry. The power is also just
incredible! There are also a few other combos, I'll get into most of them.
But this time I'll explain another attack just like Lock-On, and that's
Mind Reader. This could be learned by Fighting types. And it's very effective
if you give it to Poliwrath, here's why, just take a look at my Poliwrath
and you'll understand.
--------------
#62 Poliwrath
--------------
Type: Water/Fighting
Fissure
Dynamic Punch
Mind Reader
Hydro Pump
If you still didn't understand, here's why it quickly became a fatal Pokemon.
My Poliwrath has 3 moves that will almost never hit, but as I mentioned
before, Mind Reader and Lock-On make your next move hit with no doubt. And
if I use the deadly Mind Reader/Fissure combo, it could wipe out 5/6 Pokemon
on your team. And that is something to watch out for. Even though this
Poliwrath seems invicible, it really isn't. Here's why, Poliwrath doesn't
really have a spectacular Speed rating, but Electric types do. And after
Electric types hit me with Thunder/Thunderbolt/Thunderpunch, and maybe with
a shade of luck I'll some HP left, but once I use Mind Reader, it will be too
late, I would be elimanated before I get a chance to attack with any of those
powerful moves. And there's also a way to counter that, if I gave my
Poliwrath Focus Band, it might have a slight chance of serviving the next
blow. And I could attack, but again there is probably a counter for that, and
that's using Quick Claw, it just goes on and on.
Power-up moves
I'll now start to talk to you about powering up your attacks and to make them
more accurate. Let's recap what we learned.
-there are moves out there that could make a move hit every time
-we should give items to our Pokemon to make them stronger
-there are many ways of countering combos
I am now going to explore more combos of powering up your moves, or just
make the moves hit more often, there are also moves that could make your
Pokemon's attack hit without charging up. With this in mind, let's begin.
For inaccurate attacks like Thunder, did you know that it attack without
missing,
and without Mind Reader and Lock-On Well there is a way to do that. First
of all, it requires Rain Dance, and you could get that in the Union Cave.
(read one of the FAQs for Gold and Silver.) But you're thinking, but I have
an Electric type, how could I teach him/her a Water-type TM Well you should
know this little interesting fact, 3/4 of all Pokemon could learn Rain Dance.
Of course except Fire Types. Anyways, teach Rain Dance to your Thunder using
Pokemon. And use Rain Dance, after that strike w/ Thunder, and BOOM! It won't
miss!!! Rain Dance also raises Water type attacks by half, decreases Fire
type atttacks by 50 percent, and makes Thunder hit without a shadow of a
doubt. Plus when using Rain Dance, Syntheses and Moonlight would heal half
the HP it would normally heal.
After talking about Rain Dance, it's time to talk about the exact opposite
of Rain Dance, Sunny Day. This attack will raise Fire type attacks by 50
percent, decrease Water type attacks by 50 percent, and make Thunder 50
percent less accurate, in other words, bring down Thunder's accuracy to 20
percent(even lower than Horn Drill!!!). This attack could be also be used to
attack with Solarbeam without charging up. And it could do one more thing,
once you heal yourself with Synthesis, it will Heal ALL your HP!!!
SPCL ATK, and SPCL DEF -- WATCH OUT!!!
Why watch out Well if your not careful, you could use Thunder on a Water
type and only do 1/3 of damage on the HP of that paticular Water type. Why
Well that's when SPCL ATK and SPCL DEF kicks in. For example, you taught
Thunder to Snorlax, who has a SPCL ATK rating that is not to impressive.
And Snorlax is fighting umm..Mantine, who does have a high SPCL DEF rating.
And, I did try this myself, I used Snorlax and Thunder, then it hardly did
any damage! Here's why...
-Snorlax has one of the most depressing SPCL ATK ratings of all
-on the other hand, Mantine has a relitivly high SPCL DEF rating, so it
could resist most Special attacks
So if you're going to teach your Pokemon Special attacks watch out! Just
because some attacks look powerful, it might not really be for your Pokemon!
Be Diverse!
Diversity is very important if you want to be successful in the Pokemon World.
The battle wouldn't be very fun, if you knew exactly what your opponent was
going to do! And you would have a better chance of winning if you have a mix
of alot of moves from different types. Here's an example of a not very
diverse Charizard.
----------
Charizard
---------
Flamethrower
Fire Punch
Fire Blast
Fire Spin
What's wrong with that Charizard It's crippled with the same type of attacks
over and over again. What would happen if you fought a Water type Charizard
would be pounded into the ground. You're saying: "Oh, it wouldn't make much
of a difference" well it would if you had a couple of attacks that could
inflict some damage on a Water type. Like this Charizard:
---------
Charizard
---------
Fire Blast
Sunny Day
Fly
Body Slam
Charizard is faster than most of the Water types, and if you manage to get
a couple Body Slams or Aerial attacks in, your death wouldn't just be a
complete blow-out(or absolutely SLAUGHTERED). Even better, you should lead
with Sunny Day, there's a 25 to 75 chance that you would survive the next
Water attack.
But not TOO Diverse!
It's important to be diverse but, you have to know your Pokemon's limits.
On previous sections of this FAQ, you learned that Special Attack and Special
Defence is important. If you didn't read that part, you probably should.
Yes, using moves that is the same as your type does increase it's power.
To learn how to calculate damage, read the next part. But there's limits to
that too. Allow me to explain...
-if you become to greedy of more damage, and give your Pokemon all the same
types of attacks, you'll more than most likely be defeated
It's important to have at least one move that is the same type as your
Pokemon, so at times when you need to deal more damage than usual, it's there
for you.
How to Calculate Damage
It's actually pretty simple, since you are reading this FAQ on your computer,
it would be so kind of you to Open your Computer's Calculator.
(Start, Program, A-M, Accessories, Calculator). But before you do anything,
you got to learn how it's done. Please refer to your Instrution Booklet's
Pokemon Type Chart.(note:chart may not be available in the 1.0 version of this guide)
First off all, look at your chart, a plus or a circle
sign means that the Attack's Base Power will be doubled or X 2. And a minus
or triangle means that the attack power will halved or X 0.5. The equal or
X sign means that the attack will have no effect, no damage at all. If the
Pokemon using an attack that is the same type as itself, the attack will be
mutiplied by 1.5 and if there is a Critical Hit, it'll be doubled or once
again mutiplied by 2.
If Sunny Day used, the base attack power will mutiply Fire attacks
by 1.5, and halves Water attacks. And Rain Dance does the exact opposite,
Water attacks get mutiplied by 1.5 and Fire attacks will be halved.
You should also keep in mind that the Pokemon's Base Power alsp comes into
play. Powerful attacks like Mega Horn and Hyper Beam can be VERY powerful
used at the right circumstances, but they are already very heavy hitters.
To find out how much an attack hurt, you could use Pokemon Stadium 2's
Lab, for reference.
Now that you learned all that, it's time to try a couple of examples, if you
didn't understand, you should read the info again. Here's an example.
(Please do this on your caculater, or pen and paper)
Golem is a Rock/Ground type, and he's facing off against a Kingdra. What
happens when Kingdra uses Rain Dance, then Surf, and to top that, gets a
Critical Hit Well here's the the math equation of all that.
95(base attack power) X 1.5(attack type and Pokemon type match) X 1.5(Rain
Dance) X 2(Water vs. Rock) X 2(Water vs. Ground) X 2(Critical Hit) = 1710
points of damage! This would probably -- most likely, kill in ONE hit.
Here's another equation, but differently, just to teach you another kind.
It's Gyrados taking on Houndoom, and Houndoom uses Fire Blast on Gyrados,
with Rain Dance and scores a Critical Hit. Here's the equation.
120(base attack power) X 1.5(attack type and Pokemon type match) X 0.5(Rain
Dance, halves Fire attacks) X 0.5(Fire vs. Water) X 2(Critical Hit) = 89
you see, from 120 base attack power, to 89! All attack's base attack power,
could become very high or very low.
Pokemon Daycare = Your advantage
Did you know that the Baby can learn a lot of different moves that it couldn't
learn before  These moves are called Egg Moves.  You can find the full list
of Egg Moves for each Pokemon in the Pokemon Academy in POKEMON  STADIUM 2.
There are three types of breeding moves, we'll start off with...
a) Pokemon Breading: Inherited Level-up moves
The baby Pokemon that can eventually learn a move that they level up on, can
be borned knowing that move.  Maybe I should, make some diagrams to help my
bad explaining.
------           ------          ----
Mother           Father          Baby
------           ------          ----
Arcanine         Rhydon          Growlithe
Fire             Rock/Ground     Fire
Level: 51        Level: 50       Level: 5
Bite             Rock Throw      Roar
_Leer_           Earthquake      Ember
Ember            Horn Drill      _Leer_
Dig              _Leer_          Just because, this baby Growlithe's father
and mother both know Leer, and Growlithe can
learn Leer by leveling up,(level 18 by the
way)
he hatched knowing the move!  Just try to
use your memory for most of the moves.
b)Pokemon Breeding: Inherited TM Moves
So, you found your favourite TM and now you realize one problem when you goto
teach it ot your favourite Pokemon: "Oh my god!  I only have _one_ of them!"
Yes, this is a doozy of a problem, but luckily for you, the Father can pass
on TMs that the baby can learn too.  Here's another diagram for assisting my
bad explaining.
------          ------           ----
Mother          Fahter           Baby
------          ------           ----
Alakazam        Hitmochan        Abra
Psychic         Fighting         Psychic
Level: 79       Level: 80        Level: 5
Psychic         Comet punch      Teleport
Metronome       _Thunder punch_  _Thunder punch_
Recover         _Fire Punch_     _Fire punch_
Thunder Wave    _Ice Punch_      _Ice Punch_
And folks, this isn't a load of lies, it's
the truth the whole truth and nothing but the
truth.  The baby, Abra can learn Thunder
punch,
Fire punch and Ice punch so it hatched out
Knowing it!
c) Pokemon Breeding
Learn from Others!
A guideline from GameFAQs, this is a very nice guideline, if you could learn
from other Trainer's teams, you could probably make on exactly like it -- or
even better! Here's some of my friends, and my Pokemon Teams.

"Get PokeDex
Walkthrough:
Once you enter Cherrygrove city talk to the man standing near the path to
Route 29 and accept his offer of showing you around Cherrygrove city. After
he's done walking in front of places, he will give you the Town Map. This is
a helpful Item if you want to know where you are. Anyways, back to the
Walkthrough. After you get the Town Map, go to the path to Route 30.
From Route 30, go up and then right into the grassy fields. At that point go
up and then turn left at the nearby house. Talk to the man inside to get
a Berry. Let one of your Pokemon hold this and during a battle, it will
recover 20 HP randomly. After that, get out of his house and talk to the
tree on your left to get a Berry. At this point go right and then go up and
keep going up until you come to a small house. Before you go in though, go
and talk to the tree on your left to get a Poisoncure Berry. Now go in.
Inside, you will find Professer Oak and Mr. Pokemon. Professer Oak will give
you a PokeDex and then leave. As soon as you get out of Mr. Pokemon's House,
you will get a call from Professer Elm telling you to get back to his lab
right now. Navigate Route 30 until you get back to Cherrygrove City. Take
the path to Route 29 -- but wait, you're blocked off and he's a Pokemon
Trainer. But maybe, _maybe_ you should train your Pokemon up to level 10
before you fight this Trainer, because it will be much easier.
-------------------
Pokemon Battle:
-------------------
Pokemon used:Lvl.5
Cyndaquil,if you picked chikorita.
Totodile, if you picked cyndaquil.
Chikorita,if you picked totodile.
How to Beat him:
This will be your first Official Pokemon Battle, and it will be quite easy
if your Starting Pokemon is at level 10 or higher. If you chose Totodile,
he will use Chikorita and if you chose Cyndaquil, he will use Totodile. It
might be easier if you chose Totodile since Scratch is stronger than Tackle.
But if you chose Cyndaquil or Chikorita you'll still do fine if your
Starting Pokemon is level 10 or higher. About three attacks from a level 10
or above Pokemon will do the trick. With my level 11 Totodile, I had no
troubles dispatching him. His moves are weak for the beginning, unless you
chose Cyndaquil, and he has Scratch.
After your battle, continue through Route 29 until you make it back to New
Bark Town. At this point, go into Professer Elm's Lab. Inside you will find
Professer Elm with a Police Officer. This is where you get give  a name.
Once you gave  a name, the Police Officer will leave. Talk to Professer
Elm and he will tell you what happened -- in full detail. After that begin
your walk to get out of here, Professer Elm's Aid will once again interupt
you to give you some Poke Balls. He won't do that if you didn't talk to
Professer Elm.
Now that you got some Poke Balls, it's time to go and put together a good
strong Team. I only taught you all that stuff in the beginning to prepare
you for team-building. The Pokemon in Route 30 are a bit stronger than the
ones in Route 29. But for starters, a level 3 Pokemon should be trained in
the level 2-3 to Pokemon zone. Build up about three new Pokemon to separate
levels, or you could raise them evenly. At this point of the game, I had a
level 11 Totodile, level 9 Hoot-Hoot and a level 9 Rattata. Not what you
call an offensive team, but a simple team like that will do for the first Gym
Leader. Well you're ready, make your way back to Route 30.
At  Route 30 go up and turn right into the grass fields again. From there,
keep going up but stop at the sign. Instead, go left and now it's time to
battle. Start by fighting Youngster Joey.
----------------------------
Youngster Joey:            -

-
----------------------------
don't worry, all these Pokemon Trainers
here will only have a one or two Pokemon. After beating Youngster Joey, talk
to him again and you can register his Phone Number. He will call you for
a rematch and other interesting things. After that go up and just keep going
up until you're blocked off by a small tree. At that point go down a bit and
thne go right and up. After that go left until you could go down. Do that.
Fight Bug Catcher Wade and when you beat him register his Phone Number. Go
up and then keep going left until you come to Violet City.

Violet City Overview
--------------------
Enter Bellsprout Tower
Get HM 05
Win Zephyr Badge
Get EGG
Welcome to Violet City! Home of the First Pokemon Gym. This is the big
oppurtunity to win your first Official Pokemon Badge! First of all you could
get HM 05 first. But that's opptional, you could get it later if you wish.
I recommend you do it now because I'll write the walkthrough for it now.
At the beginning of town, go left and then go up when you could. Keep going
up until you come to a big tower. Go in. Inside the Tower, you will have to
fight many battles, but all of the Trainers in here are not that good. By
now you're Pokemon should be around level 10. Without furhter a due, here it
is.
From the beginning go up and left and then keep going up until you come to
this warp thing. This will bring you to the second floor. Over here, go up
a bit and hten go right and keep going right until you come to another warp
point. Go up a bit and then keep going left and you will fight another
Trainer. This battle should be a sinch. After the battle go down until you
come to another warp point. From here keep going down and then go right, you
will fight another Trainer, but once again, this will be easy. After this
battle go right onto another warp point. At this point you will have to
fight three seperate battles until you come to the Elder. But you're rival
has already fought him. After your Rival leaves, it's your turn.

Pokemon used:

Awards:
HM 05
If you chose Cynaquil, this battle will be nothing at all. But again, your
Pokemon should be around level 10. You could dispatch him with no troubles
if you have a Pidgey or a Hoot-Hoot. At level 07 Pidgey learns Gust. And
at level 11, Hoot-Hoot learns Peck. Both these Moves will serve you well
against him. Well when you finally beat him, grab the Escape Rope on the top
right corner. And use it to get out of here.
Once you got out of the Sprout Tower, heal your Pokemon at the Pokemon
Centre and then head to the Gym. You will also battle several battles here
too. But they're not that hard either. It's better to heal after each
battle, this way you'll be fresh against Falkner.

Leader Falkner

Pokemon used:
Pidgey
Pidgeotto
Awards:
TM 31
Zephyr Badge
His highest level Pokemon is at level 9, and I out-classed him by seven
levels. So I had absolutley no troubles dispatching him. You could trade
a Bellsprout for an Onix near the Pokemon Centre to make your life easier.
Try to give your Pokemon some Berries, or rather let them hold it. Having
an Onix on your Team and around the level of 11, you could make this battle
go on for a long, long, time. But you got to watch out though the Pidgeotto
is armed with Mud-Slap, which is a ground type move and Onix is weak
against it. Send in your Starter to waste Pidgeotto.
After you've won, you will receive a phone call from Professer Elm tellling
you he sent his Aid to the nearby Pokemon Centre. Go there to receive an
Egg containing a Togepi.
After you get your Egg, get out of the Pokemon Centre and then go up. Then
go left and keep going down, talk to the tree to get a Paralyzecure Berry.
Just continue down.
At Route 32, go down and then left to fight a Trainer. You don't have to
fight him, but I recommend it. Around the grass fields, there are level six
to seven Pokemon. All for your Pokemon to train. When you win this battle
against Youngster, continue down until you see a girl. Talk to her to enage
into a battle. Again, this is one of those optional battles. When you win,
talk to her to register her Phone Number. After this battle continue down
until you see a boy this will be yet another battle. Go down a bit and then
go right and up to find a Great Ball, this is an upgrade of the Poke Ball
and is better to catch Pokemon with. After that go down until you come to
a Pokemon Centre, heal your Pokemon and then go down and left into the
Union Cave.

From the beginning go left and down then turn left to battle a Hiker. From
there, go down and then right and just keep going right and then down to
fight another Hiker. After you're battle, go down a bit and then move left
and then go down until you come to an intersection where you have two
choices; left and right. Go right until you can't go anymore then go down
to fight one more battle. After that just walk into the light to imerge in
one piece.
