+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This is a guide on catching the rarest and hardest-to-find Pok�mon in the
Kanto region. In this guide, you will find details about each Pok�mon,
including where it is, how to get there, what you need to get to it, its
abilities, held items, and even the best way to catch it.

 A. Important Notes -ixt1
+------------------------+
The main thing to remember is that catching legendary Pok�mon requires time
and patience.  Do not expect to catch any of these Pok�mon with just a few
Ultra Balls.  Keep in mind that if you accidentally knock out your target shut
off the game and try again.  Most legendaries will disappear if it faints.
It is always good practice to save your game before you fight these Pok�mon.

 B. Navigating this Guide -ixt2
+------------------------------+
If you are searching for specific information on this guide, you may press
Control+F to open the find box and type in the code on the Table of Contents
and press Find Next. First the code on the Table of Contents will be
highlighted, press Find Next again to go straight to the section you are
looking for.

C. Guide Symbol Key -ixt3
-------------------------+
There are some symbols that represent important or useful information in the
header. Here is an example of a Pok�mon section header:

-----<EXAMPLE>-----------------------------------------<E4>-----------[????]

Key: EXAMPLE =Pok�mon header name
     E4 =Can catch Pok�mon before fighting the Elite Four
     [???] =Navigational code. Type the code on the table of contents in the
     find box (Control+F) and click "Find Next" a few times to navigate to
     that section.

Requirements Tables-
Asterisk (*)
This represents an item, Pok�mon, or event that is not required, but may
help make things easier in a quest.

Pok�mon Moveset Lists-
Dashed Lines (--)
In the Pok�mon moveset lists, dashed lines in Power and Accuracy % represent
a move that has no bonus/penalty for a particular move.

Question Marks (??)
Question marks represent factors that depend on the move itself.

 D. FAQs -ixt4
+-------------+
This lists common questions that I receive from readers, and hopes to clarify
such questions for future readers.  Please be sure to read this section
before you ask me a question through email or otherwise; it might just answer
your question for you.

-How do I get such-and-such cheat device?  I am in such-and-such country.
WE DO NOT CONDONE THE USE OF CHEAT DEVICES. I use them for educational purposes
(in this case, accessing certain Pok�mon to provide readers with more
information. Neither Pok�Guides nor I use such devices to gain an unfair
advantage.  That aside, I do not know how you can get cheat modules if you are
not in the U.S. or U.K.  The two most popular devices, Gameshark and Action
replay, may not allow such transactions.  Please check their sites for more
information:

Action Replay: www.codejunkies.com
Gameshark: www.gameshark.com

-What are Pok�mon Events?
Pok�mon events are real-life events where fans of the Pok�mon world have a
party.  People really only attend Pok�mon events because Nintendo gives out
free Pok�mon for GameBoy Advance and DS Pok�mon games.  Previous events
included Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh, Deoxys, etc.  Such Pok�mon are given in the form
of TICKETS.  The RAINBOW TICKET, for example, allows you to go to Navel Rock
and catch Lugia and Ho-oh.  These tickets are "handed" out wirelessly during
the Events through the MYSTERY EVENT feature as the prize for attending.  You
have to catch the Pok�mon yourself by going to the island with the ticket.
Please remember that Nintendo no longer supports Events for the GBA games.

-How do I get such-and-such Pok�mon?
If the guide simply does not help you catch the Pok�mon, or you just did not
understand my walkthrough, I will be glad to help.  Before you ask me though,
read the walkthrough several times, and if you just cannot get it, email me.
If there is a Pok�mon not covered in the guide that you want to ask me about,
by all means, do.  I will help.

Why do you refer to Pok�Guides in this guide?  What is it?
Pok�Guides is an organization (more a team than anything) that owns the right
to these guides.  Why? Because Pok�Guides was formed as a result of the
guides.  In short, Pok�Guides was created as an effort to provide large-scale
assistance for avid Pok�mon gamers.  To be honest, handling the incoming mail
from readers, as well as trying to work on new guides, playing the new Pok�mon
games and taking notes, and then trying not to stay chained to my computer and
DS is quite difficult.  Thanks to a few of my readers and some of my friends,
they lightened that load.  They help me verify and gather information and
walkthroughs that I create by playing the game, and help find better ways to
present such information as well.  They also help with the fan and reader
base, in which we collaborate on submissions and questions our readers send
in.  In the end, Pok�Guides is a collection of individuals that enjoy Pok�mon
and enjoy being a part of the guides.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 Fire Red and Leaf Green Versions
Pok�mon FR&LG takes place in the Kanto region, where winding caves and
sprawling cities wait.  Please remember that, if item balls can be found on
the path to your legendary Pok�mon, I will only mention the item balls that
will not take you too terribly far from your path.  You will have to explore
the area yourself more thoroughly later if you wish to obtain them all.


-----<ZAPDOS>-----------------------------------------------<E4>--------[zd00]
The legendary bird of thunder, this Pok�mon is hiding at the abandoned power
plant.  This area is infested with Electric Pok�mon, including Magneton and
Pikachu.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
TM/HM: SURF
Pok�Balls: Ultra Balls (40+)
*Items: Paralyze Heal, Repel


 Power Plant (Route 10) -zd01
+----------------------------+
Locating Zapdos:
To access the power plant, you will need to go to the Pok�mon Center on Route
10 (Rock Tunnel) and travel north from the Pok�mon Center.  Push your way
through the grass above the ledge, follow the fence to the west, and use SURF
on the body of water to the north.  Follow the body of water to the east, and
then follow it to the south.  Once you are able to land the shore to the
south, proceed south and then west along the strip of land to find yourself
just outside the Power Plant.  Walk inside and save your game at the entrance.


Power Plant:
From there, travel north and grab the MAX POTION item ball among the rocks.
Proceed around the corner, around the S bend, and go east.  After passing the
walls, go south around the rocks.  Continue around the bend leading south,
but do not grab the item ball farther to the south unless you want to fight
an Electrode.  Head east, along the corridor, navigating around the strings
of rocks.  To obtain TM25 THUNDER, head south into the corridor along the
southernmost wall where you see oil drums.  Return north to your path and
head east again, fending off the persistent Electric Pok�mon.  At the
corridor's end, begin heading north along the eastern wall of the Power
Plant.  Do not be tempted by the Item Ball in the room directly north from
the end of the passageway, because the one on the left side is really a
level 34 Electrode.  The item ball on the far right of the room is a
THUNDERSTONE.  Continue west, then north on your path to Zapdos.  When the
passageway ends, head south one room, then west.  Head north one room, then
west again to find yourself at the far top-left corner of the Power Plant.
It would be wise to save your game at this point, just in case you knock
Zapdos out (or it knocks you out).  Proceed south into the darkly colored
room and greet Zapdos, who replies with a screech and a battle.


 Zapdos (Power Plant, Route 10) -zd02
+------------------------------------+
Zapdos may take up to 45 Ultra Balls or more to catch, so prepare for a
long battle.  Make sure you brought Paralyze Heals or this will be a
difficult battle.  Once the battle is over, with Zapdos in hand (ball?),
exit west from the Zapdos room to find a shortcut out of the Power Plant.

Capturing Zapdos:
Though Zapdos is an Electric-type Pok�mon, paralyzing it is still an
option, if not an effective battle strategy.  I find that above all other
status effects, paralyzing appears to work the best against Zapdos.
Be warned, however, as Zapdos knows DRILL PECK, a Flying-type move.  I
think an Electric Pok�mon would be a good choice to use against Zapdos
after you have its health whittled down to red, especially a Pok�mon
such as Magneton.

-----<ARTICUNO>---------------------------------------------<E4>--------[au00]
The legendary bird of ice, this Pok�mon is isolated on the Seafoam Islands in
the middle of the ocean.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
TM/HM: SURF, STRENGTH
Pok�Balls: Ultra Balls (20-30)
Locating Articuno:
To get Articuno, you need to be at the Seafoam Islands!  Fly to Fuchsia City,
and head into the Pok�mon Center.  Heal up and get some strong Pok�mon,
especially those resistant to ICE type attacks.  Exit the Pok�mon Center and
head directly south.  SURF at the shoreline and continue south along the sea
route.  Head west upon arriving in Route 20.  Continue west and land on the
strip of land.  Travel around to the west side of the island and enter the
cave.


 Seafoam Islands (Route 20) -au01
+--------------------------------+
Now, head north, and up the steps, grabbing the item ball near the ladder,
containing ICE HEAL.  Head back south to the entrance, then east.  Get behind
the boulder and use STRENGTH to push it into the hole.  Go back to the ladder
where you got the ICE HEAL, but do not go down the ladder yet.  Rather, pass
the ladder and head east.  Go down the steps to encounter another boulder,
hole, and ladder.  Push the boulder down the hole, and then go down the ladder
north of the hole to see the boulder you just pushed down, and another hole.
Push the boulder down this hole too, and then go back up the ladder.  Travel
around, South, then North a bit, then west and go down the ladder.  Go south
a bit, and then follow the path.  Go up the set of steps to the North, and
then east until you run into an item ball containing a REVIVE.  Continue west
and then North, avoiding the ladder for now.  Head east, then south, pushing
the boulder down the nearby hole.  Return north, and follow the path west and
south.  Head down the ladder you passed earlier.  Go east and down the steps
to the South.  There is an item ball to the West, containing a BIG PEARL.
Return east and go up the ladder, taking the nearby item ball for a
WATERSTONE.  Return down the ladder, then travel all the way East.  Head down
the ladder.  Beneath you, you should notice several boulders and holes.  This
is where we must go.  Travel east, south, east, and south, then down the steps
to the west.  This part is tricky; we need to push at least two of the
boulders into the holes.

Push Boulder 4 down into the hole below it.  Push Boulder 3 all the way
against the West wall.  Push Boulder 1 up against the North wall.  Push
Boulder 2 down ONCE.  Go around the right side of the boulder and push it
towards the hole, THREE times.  Then walk around to the North side of the
boulder and push it down once into the hole.  Follow the boulder down the
hole.  Go northeast and land on the steps in front of you.  Travel northeast
until you find a sign and a ladder.  Go up the ladder, and then up another
ladder.  Go down the steps to find another boulder.  Push this one down the
hole to the West, go back north, and down the ladder, and then back down the
next ladder.  Return southeast to go back to where you landed in the water.
Use SURF to get on the water, and SURF west a bit.  Save your game here, and
then head north to discover an island with Articuno on it.


 Articuno (Seafoam Islands) -au02
+--------------------------------+
Articuno is, by far, the easiest legendary bird to capture. My
method was to body slam it with a level 41 Lapras (obtained at the SILPH
CO.) until Articuno was weakened and paralyzed. I actually obtained
Articuno quite quickly, using only two UltraBalls; the first ball failed
immediately, while the second ball nailed it. I'm sure that was only
sheer luck on my part, but it should take only up to 25 balls to capture.

-----<MOLTRES>----------------------------------------------<E4>--------[mt00]
The legendary bird of fire, camped out on the top of Mt. Ember.
REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
TM/HM: SURF, ROCK SMASH, STRENGTH
Pok�Balls: Ultra Balls (30-40)
Note: ROCK SMASH will be obtained by following the walkthrough.

Locating Moltres:
If you accepted Bill's offer after you beat Blaine on Cinnabar Island, then
sail from Vermillion City to One Island and heal your team at the Pok�mon
Network Center to the north (if you declined his offer, then beat the Elite
Four and then do the island side quests.  Once that is done, come back and
follow these instructions).  Now, exit the Network Center and head east to
a body of water.  Travel north along the body of water to arrive at Kindle
Road.  Continue north past the sign, past the three patches of grass, and
deal with the Blackbelt trainers walking back and forth.  After destroying
them, enter the cave with a sign next to it (Ember Spa).  Follow this path
north (no wild Pok�mon here), east, and north.  Walk west and talk to the
elderly man standing against the wall.  He will talk about himself for a bit,
then hand you HM06 ROCK SMASH.  Shatters boulders like crackers, he says.
All right then...walk to the center of the water to be fully healed, and then
teach one of your Pok�mon ROCK SMASH.  Exit the spa and travel north to the
body of water.  Continue north along the water to reach the base of Mt. Ember.

 Mt. Ember -mt01
+---------------+
Head north into the mountain/volcano.  From here, you might want to talk to
the Team Rocket members to the east.  This will set the stage for your second
island quest.  Return to the entrance, and push the boulders out of your way.
Continue north, then around to the east, then south.  Break the two boulders
blocking the first set of steps.  Walk up the steps, then immediately turn
left, travel west, and north to fight a Trainer.  Dispatch your foe, and walk
around him into the cave entrance he was guarding.  Continue north into the
next room, then northeast and up several flights of stairs.  Now head east and
south into the third room.  Exit through the doorway to the south.  Go west,
then north up the steps.  Get the items here if you want, but do not go south
yet.  Better yet, continue north up the narrow steps.  Oh look, a boulder
puzzle!

Push boulder 1 up, then boulder 2 left.  Push boulder 3 left, and chase
boulder 4 north and east.  Save the game and continue north to face Moltres.


 Moltres (Mt. Ember) -mt02
+-------------------------+
Capturing Moltres:
First of all, this birdie likes using AGILITY.  It would make things
considerably easier to put it to sleep.  If you do not have that luxury, you
will have to stick with paralysis.  Secondly, I estimate 30 Ultra Balls will
be needed to capture it, depending on your method.  I notice it likes to use
ENDURE as well, which guarantees that it will survive any hit with at least
1HP.  If you can time a powerful attack just right, you might be able to leave
Moltres with only 1HP left, which will make it even easier to capture.  Keep
in mind that Moltres� FIRE SPIN keeps your Pok�mon trapped for the duration
of the vortex, so you will not be able to switch out your Pok�mon if that move
is in effect.

-----<MEWTWO>-----------------------------------------------------------[mw00]
The rogue child of Mew, this misunderstood experiment severely dislikes people
(especially scientists).  Mewtwo is hiding in the Cerulean Cave, which will
only become available after you defeat the Elite 4 and complete the Network
Center linking quest (obtaining the Ruby and Sapphire for Celio) on the Sevii
Islands.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
TM/HM: SURF
Pok�Balls: Ultra Balls (50)
*Items: Hyper Potion/Max Potion, Leppa Berries/Elixir/Ether, Revive
,
Escape Rope

Locating Mewtwo:
Start in Cerulean City, and head north, crossing the Nugget Bridge on Route
24.  After crossing the bridge, travel west, then south along the grass-
covered path.  You will reach a dead end here where the water meets the path;
SURF along the water, following it along to the South along the turns and
bends of the river.  Before you reach the end, you will notice a patch of
land, an entrance to cave.  Hop onto the strip of land, and into the cave.
From here, the dangerous path begins.

 Cerulean Cave (Route 24) -mw01
+------------------------------+
WARNING, high level Pok�mon (LV. 50-70) live in this cave!  Make sure you are
prepared before you enter this area.

Upon entering the cave, travel north to the first body of water.  SURF North,
West, follow the bend to the West, then go all the way south, all the way
west, then land on the area to the south with the rocks and item ball.  The
item ball contains a FULL RESTORE.  Continue south and then head east and up
the steps to the North.  Follow the strip of land east, then North.  Pass the
large ladder and continue north, grabbing another item ball containing a MAX
ELIXIR.  Continue following this path west, then south, and follow the path
until you reach an isolated ladder at the end.  To get to Mewtwo from here,
head West then south (then east) along the first fork in the road.  Continue
along this path until you reach another split.  There are three paths at this
point; go along the path farthest to the right.  It will be down, right, and
then North a bit.  Once you cannot go North anymore, follow the path West
until you reach a spot with ladder to the North.  Go up the ladder.  There is
another ladder to the South here; go down it.  Follow this path north a bit,
then east, down the steps, east and north, and keep following the path,
grabbing item balls along the way, until you reach a body of water.  Save
your game, then SURF on the water.  A little ways west and north is a little
island with Mewtwo.  Be prepared for a harsh battle.

 Mewtwo (Cerulean Cave, Route 24) -mw02
+--------------------------------------+
Capturing Mewtwo:
This is a considerably difficult battle.  Mewtwo usually starts things off
by using SAFEGUARD to protect itself from status effects.  It consistently
uses RECOVER when it is hurt, usually when it gets into the Yellow or Red
zones.  Mewtwo also unleashes a barrage of PSYCHIC and SWIFT attacks.
Because of its level, it becomes difficult to match in terms of power or
speed.  Nintendo modified the AI on this monster since the old GBC games,
and this time, they made Mewtwo quite brutal.  With its combination of
healing and devastation, it is very difficult to keep your Pok�mon alive
and Mewtwo the red zone at the same time.

-----<RAIKOU, ENTEI, & SUICUNE>-----------------------------------------[ld00]
You can only access the legendary dogs after you defeat the Elite 4.  If you
have ever tried to capture Latias or Latios in Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald
versions, this Pok�mon hunt will seem vaguely familiar to you.  Only one of
these legends are accessible in the game, and which one you have access to
shall be decided by your starter Pok�mon.

Locating the dogs:
Unfortunately, the location of these Pok�mon is entirely chosen at random.
The Pok�mon will be at a random spot somewhere on the main island or the Sevii
Islands.  That�s a lot of area to search.  I have more bad news for you
though: every time you enter or exit a building, fly to a new area, or move
between routes, the Pok�mon�s location changes.  This means that it could
show up at any point in time after beating the Elite 4, somewhere along a
sea, grass, or mountain route.  The trick to finding it is to run around and
spark a few random battles, travelling back and forth along major routes until
you get lucky and it appears.
  Keep in mind that if you fight one of the
legendary dogs and you fail to capture it (unless you knock it out) you will
be able to track its location and movement using your Pok�Dex.

Preparing for the hunt:
The legendary dogs are similar to Latias and Latios in the sense that they all
run away at the first turn of battle.  Therefore, capturing or disabling them
is the only strategy available for these Pok�mon.  Your best options are
disabling status effects or "blocking moves" and abilities.  Status effects
that will immobilize your enemy include Sleep, Freezing, and sometimes
Paralyze.  Two issues may arise from relying on status effects to prevent
escape: Sleep and Freezing are not only difficult to inflict, but are
temporary as well.  Sleep will last about 3-5 turns and Freezing will last a
random amount of turns (about a 30% chance that the victim will thaw out at
the start of their turn).  The issue with Paralyzing is that the enemy will
only have a 70% or so chance of becoming immobile, with a major reduction
in speed during the course of the paralyzed phase.

The strategy to remedy these problems, naturally, is to use blocking moves or
abilities to your advantage.  Moves like Block, Fire Spin, Bind, and Mean Look
all prevent the opponent�s escape.  Block and Mean Look prevent the foe�s
escape as long as the user remains active (meaning if the user faints or
switches out with another Pok�mon, the effect is canceled and the enemy can
escape during their next turn).  Moves similar to Fire Spin, Wrap, and Bind
will last for 3-5 turns and prevent the enemy�s escape for the duration of
the move (as well as cause a small amount of damage per turn) and will not
fade if the user faints or switches out.  The last option is a Pok�mon with a
blocking ability (such as Wobuffet�s Shadow Tag) which prevent the enemy�s
escape as long as the Pok�mon remains in battle (similar to Mean Look or
Block, with the exception of the ability always active rather than the need
to use an attack).

As you can see, all of the above strategies have their benefits and flaws,
so it is up to you, the reader, to decide which strategy you should
use�perhaps even combining the two strategies might give you an advantage,
and added security in case something goes wrong.  Keep in mind, however,
that ALL of the above strategies, with the exception of Wobuffet�s Shadow
Tag ability, require you to have a higher Speed rating than the enemy to work
(or else the enemy will attack first, which will allow it to escape before
you can even launch an attack).  Furthermore, if you decide to use Mean
Look, Block, or the Shadow Tag ability, keep in mind that if the Pok�mon
that triggered the move or ability faints or switches out, the trapping
effect will no longer be active, which will allow the enemy to escape on
its next turn.

-Choose Squirtle as starter Pok�mon.
-Defeat the Elite 4 and gain access to the Sevii Island Ferry.

Capturing Raikou:
Be sure to take a look at the �Preparing for the hunt� section above for
details.  Raikou is an Electric type; therefore, it uses powerful
lightning attacks when it is unable to escape.  Avoid using Flying and
Water type Pok�mon against it, and be careful with Ground attacks.

 Entei -ld02
+-----------+
The legendary dog of fire, Entei.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
-Choose Bulbasaur as starter Pok�mon.
-Defeat the Elite 4 and gain access to the Sevii Island Ferry.

Capturing Entei:
Be sure to take a look at the �Preparing for the hunt� section above for
details.  Entei is a fire type; so, it uses strong fire-based attacks
when it is unable to escape.  Avoid Grass and Steel type Pok�mon against
it, and be careful with Ground- and Water-type attacks.

 Suicune -ld03
+-------------+
And the legendary dog of water, Suicune.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
-Choose Charmander as starter Pok�mon.
-Defeat the Elite 4 and gain access to the Sevii Island Ferry.

Capturing Suicune:
Be sure to take a look at the �Preparing for the hunt� section above for
details.  Suicune is the Water type legendary that uses Water and Ice
type attacks when unable to escape.  Fire and Ground type Pok�mon are at
risk during this battle, and be careful using Electric- and Grass-type
attacks against it.

-----<DEOXYS>-----------------------------------------------------------[dx00]
Deoxys is a Psychic type Pok�mon that is hiding on the triangle-shaped Birth
Island.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN:
-Auroraticket (Key Item)
-Ferry Access

Travelling to Birth Island:
After obtaining an Auroraticket, travel to Vermillion City Docks and talk to
the sailor standing by the Ferry Access.  Two options will show for you, Sevii
Islands and Birth Island.  Select Birth Island, and exit the port you arrive
at, and travel north up the steps and into the middle of the island, where you
will see a small black triangle.  If you press �A� on one of the triangle�s
four �sides� (I know a triangle only has three sides, but you can stand around
it at four different areas), it moves with some strange beeping noises, and
slowly changes color.  You will notice that sometimes it will move back to the
center of the island and change back to black.  What you need is a specific
sequence to anger Deoxys enough to fight you.  There are many �correct
sequences,� but this one I have created here works for all of the GBA games.

      TOP
      /\
LEFT /  \ RIGHT
     ----
    BOTTOM

Use this sequence:
LEFT, TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, TOP, RIGHT, LEFT, TOP, BOTTOM.

Now that you have provoked Deoxys, it�s time to capture it!

Capturing Deoxys:
Deoxys is only a level 30 Pok�mon in this battle, so it shouldn�t be too
difficult to survive if you have Pok�mon resistant to Psychic-type attacks.
There isn�t really a specific strategy to this; just the generic weaken and
shower with Pok�Balls.  You may want to keep some PP restoring items close,
as Deoxys� Pressure ability will make you spend Power Points twice as fast
as normal.


-----<JIRACHI>----------------------------------------------------------[jr00]
Jirachi was a Pok�mon offered during a few official Nintendo events.  Back
then, you could only access it if you attended such an event.  Nowadays, the
only legitimate method of capturing Jirachi is through the North American
release of the Pok�mon Colosseum [sic] Bonus Disc.  Once you complete Pok�mon
Colosseum, you have the ability to trade Jirachi to a GBA game from the Bonus
Disc.  Supposedly, the disc has a limited number of uses, somewhere in the
low hundreds range, before Jirachi is no longer tradable.


-----<CELEBI>-----------------------------------------------------------[cb00]
Celebi was given out in commemoration of the movie Pok�mon 4 Ever, and was
given out in an issue of Nintendo Power in the form of an e-Reader Card.
Celebi can also be obtained from the Japanese Pok�mon Colosseum bonus disc, in
contrast to the English version of the Bonus Disc, which gives Jirachi.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This section lists hidden or hard to find Pok�mon, giving you walkthroughs on
how to obtain them.  Keep in mind that we only give information for Pok�mon
that can only be found in specific or non-obvious areas.  If you want
information for a Pok�mon not listed here, then email us for help.

-----<DUNSPARCE>--------------------------------------------------------[hf01]
Locating Dunsparce:
Dunsparce can only be obtained at the Three Isle Port. Once you defeat the
Elite Four, sail to Three Island and investigate the cave to the east. Talk to
the generous man near the end for a nugget. Free 5,000P, and a rare(ish)
Pok�mon. You can't go wrong there. Exit the cave to the south of him and run
around for a while in the grass. The ONLY Pok�mon you will encounter here is
Dunsparce, and this is the only place you will find it.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|    ==4. VISUAL BRAILLE DECODER==                                   [vbd0]  |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This is a decoder for the 26 letter English alphabet, plus a COMMA and PERIOD.
This works with all of the Pok�mon games for the GBA.  This section will help
you decipher the Braille displayed at the Dotted Hole and other places.
