Earn Quick Money

Bogus Report:

To earn quick money follow this:
After you defeat Norman, the petalburg gymleader, go to your house & talk to your mom. She will give you an 'Amulet Coin'. Let your stronger Pokemon hold it and put that Pokemon in first slot. If you want to simultaneously level up other Pokemon, let those others hold Exp Share. Now that your first slot Pokemon holds Amulet Coin, fight the reporters or anybody or even gymleaders, you get Double the money you are normally supposed to.
I hope this hint is helpful.

Exp up easily

Bogus Report:

If you want your Pokemon to get there exp up easily is to get the Exp share, Give it to the Pokemon you want to level up. If you have got a couple of high level Pokemon (lvl 60-100) put them at the front of your party then battle the Elite 4. Your Pokemon should grow very easily.

Happy Gaming

Easy way to catch Latios

Current
Rating

Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

This is how you can find Latios in an easier way. First, you have to beat the Elite Four. Then, when you are at your house after you beat them, your mom and dad will talk to you and then click on the TV and it will say that a blue Pokemon has been flying around Hoeen. After that, if you do not already have one, train one of your Pokemon so that it is level 80 or higher(I don't know if you need to do this, it always works for me). Then, Fly to Pacifidlog Town and Surf to the left of the town(don't go in the fast water) and search there for about 3 or 4 Pokemon and if he doesn't show up, go to the right side and do the same thing(don't change routes on the right side). Repeat this over and over and he will eventully show up(hope you saved you Masterball, he's hard to catch).
Good Luck!

Hey guys check it out



This is the hint where you can find a shiny tailow



Just move up in the rustburo town

At the area that where can you find a skitty..

But I'm sure that you can find 1 shiny tailow because I just got 1

And it's my first level 100 pokemon

And it's HP is about 501

It is amazing. No one can

Kill it with just sp. Attack skill.





So if you want to try catching 1 of the shiny tailow just go at the

Area that where you can I find a skitty and try searching out...

Well I started with a Teecko and it's a level 83 now and you can beat all of the elite four with just that pokemon. It's moves are Leaf Blade(Good against the ghost and ice pokemon) Slam(Good against all except ghost) Quick Attack and False Swipe. I hardley had to use any potions. My Treecko managed to defeat all elite four's Pokemon and one of Steven's pokemon.

Well I have tried every starter and I have 2 say that there is no best starter.but I actually think mudkip iss the best but they have advantages and disadvantages.everybody thinks blaziken is the best but my friend started with him and he can't even get up 2 glacia (in the elite 4). So if you think there is a best starter go ahead but I know there is no a best starter.

unlocking the SECOND door of the REGI caves!!! amendment!!!

Current

Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

FOR RUBY/SAPPHIRE ONLY!
The way to unlock the regis is different in Emerald, so I have put the way to unlock them in the hint pages for that game! Go... Find!

This is an amendment to my previous hint on how to unlock the regis. This just tells you how to open the caves they are in... (after diving west of pacifidlog and using relicanth and wailord...) it just tells you how to unlock the second door in the 3 regi caves... You have to have already unlocked the first door...


Regirock (in the desert): read the braille. Go two steps right, two steps down and then use Strength.

Regice: (route 105, north of mauville on a sandbar) read the braille... Just wait. Don't move... Even if it takes a couple of minutes. Don't press any buttons. Then the door will open.

Registeel: (Route 120,west of Lilycove city) read the braille. Head to the exact center of the room and use fly.


By the way, another amendment... In Ruby/Sapphire, when you dive west of Pacifidlog, and use relicanth and wailord... Put Relicanth in 1st place in your party, and Wailord in 6th place... In Emerald, it's the other way around!

I hate how everyone is saying that If you put a Pokemon in the Daycare and run up and down that slope forever they get to level 100 faster or just Give it Rare Candies.It works but there stats are lower than if you just train them the old fashioned way.People are just being to lazy to train.

How to catch the Regis

Verified by: chevirocks123, PurpleLugia
Bogus Report:

Ok, First of all, you will need to catcha Relicanth and a Wailord. Once you have them you can open the paths to the Regis. Firstly, go to route 134. If you search the bottom part of the route, you will eventually find a place where you can dive. It may take a while to find. Once there, dive down and follow the passage. At the end, you will find a block with some braille. Stand right in fron tof the braille and then surface. If you've done it right, you will find yourself in the sealed chamber. Go to the far end and then have any of your pokémon use Dig. A new path will then open. Follow it into a new room. Now pace Relicanth in the first slot of your party and Wailord in the sixth slot. Then read the braille at the very end of the room. This should cause the caves where the Regi's sleep to open, but it's not over yet.

Regirock has very high physical defence. Pick on the special defence to weaken it but avoid super effective hits as you might KO it by accident. A good status attack such as Spore, Hypnosis or Thunder Wave will also help you out

While Regirock had high Defence, Regice has high Special Defence. hit it will physical attacks. Avoid Rock, fighting or steel, as you'll likely KO it. A good status attack such as Spore, Hypnosis or Thunder Wave will also help you out.

Both Registeel's Defences are about equal and very high. It will be a lengthy battle. You may need to use haze if it starts to curse. Being a steel type, it has numerous resistances. Try using moves of the electric and water type, since Steel types don't resist them,but are not weak to them either. A good status attack such as Spore, Hypnosis or Thunder Wave will also help you out.

When I was younger I geuss I would had been about 10 mabe 11 I started playing Pokemon ruby. I started with torchic. Not long after I let my friend barrow the game, he "Accidentally" saved the game, so not to long ago I made a new game and I sarted with treecko and I would deffinitly recommend starting with treecko in my opinion it made things much easier. Also at the end most people have trouble catching latios or if your like me you som how missed the master ball hahaha. But to catch latios I would suggest using wobbufet because he has a special effect to that the opposing Pokemon canntot escape so just use him at about level 50 or so and you'll be fine just make sure you have a abotu 20 to 30 ultraballs, good luck.

First go to route 126 and surf around and eventully latios will appear and I hope you saved your masterball because he will flee from battle. Latias is on sapphire version and just do the same thing. On ruby you can catch latias to but you have to have the eon ticket (alvailable through a nintendo event or gameshark or action replay. The same thing applys to sapphire.

______PokéBlocks______
--The Following will show you the Berries That will make the PokéBlocks for the Shown Contests. They are Individual conditions only. Find out the rest for yourself Because that's the fun of the game--

COOL: No.01 Cheri Berry

BEAUTY: No.02 Chesto Berry

CUTE: No.03 Pecha Berry

SMART: No.04 Rawst berry

TOUGH: No.04 Aspear berry

Once you have made the PokéBlocks make sure they have a Level of 12 and a Feel of 21 at LEAST or you will not be able to max out the condition of you Pokémon. Also only work on one Condition for each Pokémon or you will not be able to max out any Conditions.

______Ranks______

-- The following will show the number of PokéBlocks needed to win the contest--

NORMAL: 0/9

SUPER: 3/9

HYPER: 6/9

MASTER: 9/9

Once you have entered the Contest be sure never to use the same Move twice unless it says in the Description of the Move: 'Can be used twice without boring the JUDGE'.

If you win the MASTER RANK at any Contest, when you come out of the Contest, an artist will walk up to you and tell you that he has painted a really good painting of the Pokémon that just won the Contest you just entered. To see it you have to go to the Lilycove Museum and go to the bottom floor. You will only see one Painting of a Pokémon per type of contest won at MASTER RANK level.

E.g: If a Blaziken won Coolness at MASTER RANK the artist will paint a Painting of it. However if ,say, an Azumarill Won a Coolness Contest at MASTER RANK the artist would paint a painting of Azumarill and put it over the Blaziken.


Hope the above Helped you Loads

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can get 2 master balls without action replay or gameshark. But I'm not exactly sure because I haven't gone all the way through the game in a while. I restart mine once I get bored with it. I may be wrong but I know for a fact there is 1 in magma hideout(aqua on sapphire) and I think you get one for beating elite four but like I said I haven't beat elite four in a while because I restarted my game.
