In pursuing a living dex on Gold, I figured I would also try a challenge on Crystal.

I took on Red with a team of L.46 Pokémon and a L.49 Shuckle as my ace. Each played its part in defeating Red's team, but I would say my favourite starter Meganium was the MVP, able to stall out Venusaur 1 v 1 into struggle and then set up with Light Screen into a KO with Magcargo to force Red into bringing in Blastoise, to which I could bring Magneton who has time to set up Zap Cannon thanks to the Light Screen.

Pupitar: Earthquake, Rock Slide, Sandstorm, Screech (Focus Band)

Shuckle: Sleep Talk, Rest, Toxic, Sandstorm (Mint Berry)

Meganium: Synthesis, Light Screen, Razor Leaf, Reflect (Leftovers)

Pidgeot: Whirlwind, Mud-slap, Fly, Return (Pink Ribbon)

Magcargo: Flamethrower, Rock Throw, Toxic, Amnesia (Quick Claw)

Magneton: Zap Cannon, Thundershock, Lock-on, Tri-attack (Magnet)

All in all I had a lot of fun using these Pokémon and making it work at a huge level disadvantage!

Gonna soft reset for a shiny celebi before the shutdown. Wish me luck

With bank shutting down, there is now a timer on when I can get my coveted shiny celebi. If anyone has advice for making the soft reset grind any easier, lemme know.

The Best Moveset For Sneasel

What would be the best moveset for Sneasel?🤔 I know about the STAB but Sneasel's Special Attack stat is too low to even consider that possibility 🤷🏿‍♂️

Question about how Stat Exp works in relation to switch training.

So firstly, I'm not really sure how Stat Exp works. I think it's based off of the defeated Pokemon's base stats but I'm not sure how high they go. Like if a defeated Pokemon's base HP was 20, I would then gain 20 HP stat exp, right?

My next question is how does this work when swap training? Like I know in gen 3 onwards that EVs do not get split between members that participated. If I KO'd a Kadabra I would gain 2 Sp Atk EVs on everything that got Exp. Is that the case in gen 1 and 2? Or is it split the way Exp is split, meaning between 2 Pokemon I'd get half of the Stat Exp.

I know that Stat Experience doesn't really matter for regular playthroughs, I'm just curious about the mechanics of it

Need help choosing final team members

So far, this is what I have decided for my Crystal playthrough:

Typhlosion

Heracross

Lapras

Electabuzz

The last two slots I'm unsure on:

Tauros or Donphan

Crobat or Skarmory (not planning on breeding for Drill Peck)

Thoughts?

Why can’t he transport?

I hatched a shiny Tyrogue in VC Crystal and wanted to get him moved up to Home after recent events. But, for some reason, Transporter says there’s a problem with him and he can’t be brought over. He is in Box 1, and all of the other Pokemon in that box had no issues being sent over. I haven’t edited him or anything, does anybody know what the issue is?

Kindergarten rumours were true.

Do you remember back in the 90s, kids spread a rumour worldwide about "Holding Down + B increases catch rate" ??? It's true. Always works for me.

Don't mind me, just catching my TM Slave.

Pikachu with the move Sing?

I am currently working towards breeding a team full of Kanto shinies. One of the team members I'm working towards is Pikachu.

According to Smogon, it is possible for Pikachu to have the move Sing.

https://www.smogon.com/dex/gs/pokemon/pikachu/

However, when consulting other sources (like Serebii), it doesn't seem like the move Sing is an egg-move for Pikachu. Nor is it a move that can be learnt via level up.

https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-gs/025.shtml

Before sinking time into a potentially impossible situation, does anyone know whether it is in fact possible to breed the move Sing onto a Pikachu?

Thanks!

Okay so Crystal is just unplayable on Chromatic 👍

Just bought this chromatic today and as soon as I got in my car with it I put in my pokemon crystal and loaded it like normal all good, but when I pressed continue it popped up a “huh?” And hatched an egg, which was a dragonite…… which then led to it crashing. I load it back up and press continue and it just keeps crashing, and then it loads up once and my character is now changed to a female. I turn it off and on a few times and my save file deletes…… loading back up and starting a new game hoping my save file was just corrupted and it has nothing to do with the chromatic and now this…… what is even happening??? My pokemon silver plays flawlessly.

Edit: crystal works flawlessly in my gameboy color, pins are perfectly clean and shiny, never had any issue with the cartridge until this chromatic

Need ways to make money in Crystal Legacy before Blackthorn

I'm hardcore nuzlocking, so I want to boost my team with vitamins before going to Blackthorn but need a faster way to make money. Google AI methods I've looked up are either unreliable/misinformation. So far the best method I've found is resetting time repeatedly for Buena's Password and redeeming a vitamin for every 5 resets. Is there a better method?

I have:

- amulet coin

- thief

- unlocked trainers up to Ice Path for rematches
