Lance, the Pokemon League Champion IV. The Final Test: 1. Ash Ketchum: the Silver Cave Trainer I. Introduction: If you want to know about me, I am Paul. I am a user of Crystal and Yellow Versions in my GBC. I have encountered many trainers in the Crystal game and I want to share this to you. This is my first time to share a wild text of my game so stick on to it. Get it??? My first and strongest Pokemon in my party is a L83 Typhlosion. Here are the other 5 Pokemon in my party (these are my powerful and my favorite party). 1. Graveler - L73 2. Kadabra - L71 3. Gyarados - L69 4. Pidgeot - L69 5. Haunter - L69 II. Gym Leaders Gym Leaders are Pokemon trainers that have a gym in his/her city. In Crystal Version, there are 16 gyms, 8 in Jotho & 8 in Kanto. Here are the gyms in Jotho. 1. Jotho's Pokemon Gyms a. Falkner - Violet City Pokemon: L7 Pidgey, L9 Pidgeotto Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: Beware! The first gym may have an disadvantage to you. You must use a bird Pokemon also, like a L10 Pidgey with a Quick Attack. Or in Route 32, catch a Bellsprout and trade it for an Onix in Violet City. Warning also, because Pidgeotto has Mud-Slap, which has an disadvantage to rock Pokemon. Be careful of your tactics. Cynaquail Users: Watch out only for Pidgeotto's Mud-Slap because ground type moves can easily defeat fire type Pokemon. To be sure, have Cynaquail learn Ember when you reached Violet City. Totodile Users: Just use Water Gun or Scratch to defeat Falkner easily. b. Bugsy - Azalea Town Pokemon: L14 Metapod, L14 Kakuna, L16 Scyther Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: Warning again! The first two Pokemon (Metapod and Kakuna) have Tackle and Poison Sting. Scyther also have Fury Cutter which doubles in each turn. So our solution: Onix's or Geodude's Rock Throw & Pidgey or Pidgeotto's Gust easily defeats them. Cynaquail Users: Easy. Just use Ember to defeat them. Totodile Users: A Scratch or Water Gun can drop them into splash. c. Whitney - Goldenrod City Pokemon: L18 Clefairy, L20 Miltank Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: Miltank is very powerful, because of its Attract move. Attract lowers the chance of an enemy Pokemon to attack its opponent. But I have a solution (for all starters). If you have enough money, go to the Game Corner and buy 200 coins. Then exchange them for 2 Abras. (2 Abras? Why?) Then go to the 5th floor of the Goldenrod Dept. Store and find a guy where you can trade your Abra for his Machop. Amazing, right? Then raise your Machop to level 22 with the moves Low Kick and Karate Chop. Then defeat Whitney with Low Kick. Get it? Or use Bayleef with a Razor Leaf move. Cynaquail Users: Use Quailava with Ember to defeat them. Totodile Users: Use Croconaw's Water Gun or Scratch (or other moves) to defeat them. d. Morty - Ecruteak City Pokemon: L21 Gastly, L21 Haunter, L23 Haunter, L25 Gengar Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: Very hard, because Gengar has a very dangerous Hypnosis+Dream Eater move, while the others, Mean Look+Curse move. Thanks to you, we have a Graveler & Kadabra combination. Use Graveler's Magnitude and Kadabra's Psybeam to defeat easily the ghosts. Or use Bayleaf's leaf type moves to damage all the ghosts. Cynaquail Users: Same Pokemon as above and crush Morty with Quailava's Ember or Flame Wheel. Totodile Users: Use Croconaw's Bubblebeam, Bubble, Water Gun and Surf to defeat Morty. Bubblebeam and Bubble can lower the speed of the opponent so don't worry about the quick move of the ghosts. e. Chuck - Cianwood City Pokemon: L27 Primeape, L30 Poliwrath Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: We will have a little problem on Poliwrath, beacuse it has Ice Punch, which can weaken easily Bayleaf/Meganium. So use an combo of Psychic/Flying Pokemon on Chuck. Cynaquail Users: Same as above, we have also a problem on Poliwrath, but he has water type moves like Water Gun. So do the combo as the above. Totodile Users: Be sure that Croconaw has Slash or Cut to have a large damage on Primeape & Poliwrath. f. Jasmine - Olivine City Pokemon: L30 Magnemite, L30 Magnemite, L35 Steelix Satrter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: Thunder moves can affect leaf Pokemon a little. But don'tuse Razor Leaf because it affect Magnemite a little. We have Graveler in our party, so use Magnitude to crush the 2 magnet Pokemon. Steelix, however, can crush Graveler with Iron Tail, so use a fire Pokemon (Growlithe/Arcanine) to crush Steelix. Cynaquail Users: Typhlosion's Ember or Flame Wheel knocks them out. Totodile Users: Feraligatr can be defeated by the Magnemites but it can defeat Steelix. For Steelix, use Surf. For the Magnemites, Graveler's Magnitude crush them out. g. Pryce - Magohany Town Pokemon: L27 Seel, L29 Dewgong, L31 Piloswine Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: Here we go again! Just I told you, remember your experience in Cianwood City. Ice Pokemon > Leaf Pokemon. So backup with a Electric/Fire Pokemon (a combo of Voltorb/Electrode/Elekid/Chinchou/Lanturn & Growlithe/ Arcanine/Magby). Get it?????? Cynaquail Users: Typlosion's combo moves of Ember/Flame Wheel and Thunder Punch can burn and paralyzed the pokemon of Pryce. Totodile Users: Any normal move or a combo of Pokemon in your party defeats Pryce easily. h. Clair - Blackthorn City Pokemon: L37 Dragonair, L37 Dragonair, L37 Dragonair, L40 Kingdra Starter Pokemon: Chikorita Users: You should have a backup of an ice Pokemon (Lapras/Jynx/Shellder/Cloyster/Swinub/Piloswine/Sneasel(with Ice Punch)). These Pokemon can defeat dragons easily. Cynaquail Users: Use a combo of an ice Pokemon and Typlosion's Thunder Punch. Why? Because all the Pokemon of Clair have half-water, half-dragon,so you can use Powder Snow/Ice Punch/Blizzard/Ice Beam/Aurora Beam(this is the weakest of the ice moves) & Spark/Thunderbolt/Thundershock/Thunder/Thunder Punch. Totodile Users: Feraligatr can defeat them if Feraligatr has Ice Punch. 2. Kanto's Pokemon Gyms a. Lt. Surge - Vermilion City Pokemon: L44 Raichu, L40 Magneton, L40 Electrode, L40 Electrode, L46 Electabuzz Solution: 5 Electric Pokemon < 5 Earthquakes from Graveler/Onix. If you want to save Earthquakes, a Flamethrower to Magneton and the Electrodes. b. Sabrina - Safron City Pokemon: L46 Espeon, L46 Mr. Mime, L48 Alakazam Solution: 3 Psychic Pokemon < 3 Ghosts or 3 Dark type Pokemon. Beware for all ghost Pokemon users: Ghost > Psychic. Why? Because all Sabrina's Pokemon have Psychic. c. Misty - Cerulean City Pokemon: L42 Golduck, L42 Quagsire, L44 Lapras, L47 Starmie Solution: Golduck = Electric, Quagsire = Leaf, Lapras = Electric, Starmie = Electric/Ghost/Dark. d. Erika - Celadon City Pokemon: L42 Tangela, L41 Jumpluff, L46 Victreebel, L46 Bellossom Solution: 4 Leaf Pokemon < Fire/Ice/Flying. e.

Brock - Pewter City Pokemon: L41 Graveler, L41 Rhyhorn, L42 Omastar, L42 Kabutops, L44 Onix Solution: 5 Rock Pokemon < Ground/Fighting/Water/Ice/Leaf/Steel/Electric (What? Why Electric? Simple: Kabutops & Omastar have Hydro Pumps so Electric can affect them. Get it?). g. Blaine - Seafoam Islands Pokemon: L45 Magcargo, L45 Magmar, L50 Rapidash Solution: 3 Fire Pokemon < Rock/Ground/Water. h. Gary - Viridian City Pokemon: L56 Pidgeot, L54 Alakazam, L56 Rhydon, L58 Exeggutor, L58 Gyarados,L58 Arcanine Solution: Pidgeot = Ice/Rock/Electric, Alakazam = Ghost/Dark, Rhydon = Ground/Fighting/Water/Ice/Steel/Leaf, Exeggutor = Fire/ Ghost/Bark/Ice/Flying, Gyarados = Ice/Electric/Dragon/Rock, Arcanine = Water/Ground/Rock III. Pokemon League The Pokemon League is a challenge for all trainers that have a complete 8 badges from Jotho. For me, I have defeated the Pokemon League 22 times (unbelieveable, right?). This is a very hard challenge, but I will help you to choose the right Pokemon for you. If you defeat them all, you will recieve a Hall of Fame and it will be posted at your PC in any Pokemon Center. Here are the members: 1. Elite Four Members: a. Will Pokemon: L40 Xatu, L41 Jynx, L41 Slowbro, L41 Exeggutor, L42 Xatu Solution: 5 Psychic Pokemon < Ghost/Dark. For alternatives, look at this: 1. 2 Xatus & Slowbro = Electric 2. Exeggutor & Jynx = Fire b. Koga Pokemon: L40 Ariados, L41 Venomoth, L42 Muk, L43 Forretress, L44 Crobat Solution: 5 Poioson Pokemon < Psychic. For alternatives: 1. Ariados = Fire/Ice/Ground/Rock 2. Venomoth = Fire/Ice/Rock 3.

Karen Pokemon: L42 Umbreon, L42 Vileplume, L44 Murkrow, L45 Gengar, L47 Houndoom Solution: (a very tough solution) 1. Umbreon = Fighting 2. Vileplume = Fire/Ice/Flying 3. Murkrow = Ice/Electric/Fighting 4. Gengar = Ground/Psychic 5. Houndoom = Water/Ground/Rock/Fighting 2. Lance, the Pokemon League Champion Lance is the final opponent in the Pokemon League. You should know all the Pokemon he will use carefully. All Lance's Dragons (except Charizard) have Hyper Beam with a 150 HP damage and it will knock out your Pokemon. So to be sure, look carefully at my tips. a. L44 Gyarados Solution: Electric/Ice/Rock b. L47 Dragonite Solution: Ice/Dragon c. L47 Dragonite Solution: Ice/Dragon d. L50 Dragonite Solution: Ice/Dragon e. L46 Aerodactyl Solution: Electric/Ice/Water/Rock f. L46 Charizard Solution: Water/Rock IV. The Final Test The final test was in Mt. Silver. The final challenge to beat the game was no other than Ash Ketchum, the Silver cave master. To defeat him easily, your party Pokemon should have levels higher than 70. For me, I defeated Ash 4 times with my Pokemon (4th time): 1. Typlosion - L83 2. Graveler - L73 3. Kadabra - L71 4. Pidgeot - L69 5. Gyarados - L69 6. Lugia - L68 Unbelieveable, right? But you should always be serious beacuse Ash is very tough trainer. Are you ready to beat the whole game? If yes, then go for it! 1. Ash Ketchum, the Silver Cave Master Ash's team composed of: a. Pikachu - L81 Solution: Very high level, right, but in my case, when I encounter my 1st win, I use a Graveler L68 and an Earthquake kills Pikachu in one hit. So my solution is to use a Ground type Pokemon. b. Espeon - L73 Solution: Espeon can be easily defeated by Ghost/Dark Pokemon. In my case, I choose Typlosion L76 beacuse of its high speed that easily defeats Espeon. c. Blastoise - L77 Solution: Use an Electric Pokemon. In my case, I use my Kadabra L68 by using Psychic on Blastoise. If Kadabra faints, I use my Gyarados L68 with Hyper Beam to K.O. Blastoise. d. Snorlax - L75 Solution: Use a Fighting Pokemon. For me, I easily defeated Snorlax by using 2 Earthquakes from my Graveler. Beacuse Snorlax has a lower speed than my Graveler, so I K.O. Snorlax easily (it uses Amnesia first). e. Venusaur - L77 Solution: Use a Fire/Flying/Psychic Pokemon. In my case, I choose Typlosion with Flamethrower or Pidgeot L68 with Fly and K.O. Venusaur in one hit. f. Charizard - L77 Solution: Use a Water/Rock Pokemon. In my case, I used my Lugia L68 and I got suprised beacuse Lugia was the first to attack Charizard with Hydro Pump. Two Hydro Pumps and I K.O. Charizard in a hit. For questions, Faqs, cheats, and other things about Pokemon Crystal, email me at my email address: pokemonbeyblade4455@yahoo.com PS: Don't believe always on fake cheats or tips.
