Alternate Pokemon Colors

Did you know that there are Pokemon hidden in Gold/Silver that have alternate colors, aka shiny status? There is no easy way to find them (except for the Red Gyarados in the Lake of Rage) as they appear at random -- but they're out there. If you see specially colored Pokemon, be sure to catch them as they are very rare. You can recognize them by the sparkle effect when they appear in battle, or by checking on the Pokemon Status Screen. Next to the Male/Female symbol, these special Pokemon are marked with three dots.
There are any number of these rare types, including alternate versions of Nidoking (dark blue), Golbat (purple/green), Tentacruel (green eyes), Rapidash (purple), Scyther (orange/green), Hoothoot (yellow/purple), Sudowoodu (green/red), Ho-oh (yellow/orange), and more.

Breeding Evolutions

At the Daycare Center south of Goldenrod City on Route 33, you can give a male Pokemon and a female Pokemon to the keepers to breed new Pokemon.

Breed two Pikachus to get Pichu.
Breed two Electabuzzes and you get Elekid.
Breed a Jynx with a Ditto to get Smoochum.
Breed two Clefairies and you get Cleffa.
Breed two Jigglypuffs and you get Igglybuff.
Breed two Magmars and you get Magby.
Breed a Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, or a Hitmontop with a Ditto to get Tyrogue.
Breed a Gyarados with the Red Gyarados to get a golden Magikarp.

Replace any of the Pokemon with the genderless Ditto if you've only got one of a kind. Ditto will act as a wildcard Pokemon.

Duplicate Items/Clone Pokemon
Note: Use this code at your own risk. It may corrupt your save data if done incorrectly.

Go to a PC, and save. Attach the item you want to duplicate to the Pokemon you want to clone. Deposit it into the PC. Change boxes. When the screen is saying "Saving the game..." Turn off your GB. Turn it back on. You should have the deposited Pokemon in the PC, and a clone of it in your lineup. The item will either be on both monsters, or in your Backpack. Note: while doing this code, DO NOT withdraw any Pokemon. When the GB is turned back on, you'll find that the withdrawn Pokemon has been deleted. Note: You can duplicate up to 5 items/Pokemon at a time.

Rare Pokemon Locations

Having trouble finding those really rare Pokemon in Gold/Silver? No problem, IGN's here to help:

Ho-oh -- There is only one Ho-oh in Gold and Silver, so make sure you catch it. You can find it on top of the Tin Tower, but you'll need the Rainbow Wing to go up there. You get the Rainbow Wing from the Radio Station Manager in Goldenrod City (Gold version) or the old man in Pewter City (Silver version).

Lugia -- You can find Lugia in Whirl Island, off Route 41. You'll need to know the HM 06 Whirpool technique to get in as well as the Silver Wing. You can find the latter in Pewter City (Gold) or the Radio Station in Goldenrod City (Silver).

Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil -- These are the three starting Pokemon in Gold/Silver. You have to pick one of the three -- if you want the others, you'll have to trade with a friend.

Entei, Suicune, Raiko -- Dogs, cats, what are they? Who cares! They're cool and they're exceedingly rare. To catch these guys, go to the Burned Tower in Ecruteak City. When you get close to them, they will run away. After this brief encounter, these fast creatures will roam around Johto. So where do you find them? Check your Pokedex and have some Fast Balls ready.

Togepi -- Professor Elm's assistant will give you an egg in Violet City after you beat the Gym Leader there. It will hatch into Togepi.

Tyrogue -- You can get this young Fighting Pokemon from Blackbelt Kyo (if you have an empty slot in your party) in Mt. Mortar, or simply breed one using Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee and a Ditto.

Sudowoodo -- This odd Rock type blocks your way on Route 36 (just like Snorlax). Use the Squirtbottle from Goldenrod City to battle it.

Porygon -- You can get Porygon for 9,999 coins in the Celadon City Game Corner.

Snorlax -- Snorlax is blocking the way into Diglett's Cave. Use the Poke Flute to wake it up.

Eevee -- Apart from winning an Eevee in Pokemon Stadium or the Celadon City Game Corner, you can also get one at Bill's House.

Aerodactyl -- There is only one Aerodactyl in Gold/Silver, but it's not that hard to get. Catch a Chansey and trade with the girl on Route 14 to get it.

Set Your Clock For Daylight-Savings

Return to your house and talk to your mother. She will ask you if you want to set your clock to Daylight-Savings time.

Shiny Pokemon Trick

If you want the full benefit of this code, use a Pokemon that can evolve. Otherwise, there will be some confusion with names and so forth. First, place a flying Pokemon that has been taught FLY as the first Pokemon in your lineup, the "Golden Gyarados" as the sixth position, and the Pokemon whose color is to be changed in the second position. After doing this, put all of the Pokemon back into the PC except the first one. Next, take out the pokemon that was in the second position before, the one that will be changed. Enter the bug-catching contest that is near Kogane city. This is held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. As soon as you enter it, exit right away. When the clerk asks you if you want to quit, make sure you say NO, which is always the lower answer. Now use your Flying Pokemon to FLY out of the contest. Store the Pokemon that will be changed in a PC, then go back to the contest and say YES, the top answer, to complete the contest. Return to a PC, withdraw the Pokemon, and check its status screen. The Pokemon will be a different color, but it will have Gyarados's name. Grow the Pokemon until it evolves. You may want to use Rare Candies if you have any. Now when you go into battle with the evolved form of the original Pokemon, it will have a shining status.

Solving the Unown Mystery

The ruins of Alph are home to the mysterious Unown (#201), the only Pokemon that exists in more than one shape. Solving the different sliding-tile puzzles will drop you into the ruins below, where you can capture the mysterious Pokemon. In the beginning, you can only access one puzzle (the solution is Kabutop). You can get to the rest of the ruins once you have Surf and Strength. Surf lets you swim to the south cave which contains a puzzle of Aerodactyl. The other two puzzles are reached through the Union Cave using Surf and Strength. The puzzle to the southwest is an Omanyte, while the one to the west is a picture of Ho-oh. Please do not cut and paste these codes from IGN Codes. All text content on IGN is copyrighted.
The more puzzles you solve, the more varieties of Unown will be available to be caught. (There are 26 variations in all, one for each letter of the English alphabet. Ruins of ALPH, get it?). Once you have caught at least three different shapes of Unown, go to the Alph Lab just outside the first entrance. You will receive an upgrade to your Pokedex that lets you view and collect the different shapes of Unown. Please do not cut and paste these codes from IGN Codes. All text content on IGN is copyrighted.
After you have caught all 26 shapes of Unown, you should return to the lab. Using the machine in the corner, you will now be able to use the Unown shapes to create and print out banners using the "Unown font" (if you have a GB Printer).

Special Poke Balls
You can give Apricorns to Kurt, the Poke Ball maker in Azalea Town to get new types of Poke Balls. Here is a list of what they're good for.

White Apricorn: Fast Ball -- Good for catching Pokemon that try to escape from battle quickly.
Red Apricorn: Level Ball -- If your Pokemon's level is significantly higher than the wild Pokemon's, it will be an easy catch.
Blue Apricorn: Lure Ball -- Good for catching Water types when fishing.
Pink Apricorn: Love Ball -- If the wild Pokemon's gender is opposite that of your Pokemon's you'll have an easier catch.
Black Apricorn: Heavy Ball -- Big enough to catch heavy Pokemon like Snorlax.
Green Apricorn: Friend Ball -- Pokemon caught with Friend Balls will become very attached to their trainer. Good for Chansey (if you want it to evolve into Blissey).
Yellow Apricorn:Moon Ball -- Good for catching Pokemon that evolve with Moon Stones, like Clefairy and Jigglypuff.

Special Trainers

There are six extremely helpful Pokemon trainers in Gold/Silver whose telephone numbers you should definitely keep in your Pokegear. These six will randomly give you tips on how to find rare Pokemon and steer you towards areas where certain Pokemon are currently "swarming."

Unown Music

While in the Ruins of Alpha go to the Pokegear option in the menu screen. Go to the radio option and on the fourteenth to the twentieth channel you can find a station Called ??????. That is the Unown Music. It can only be heard here.

Set time
Press Down + Select + B at the title screen. Enter your trainer ID as the
password and you can change the time.

King's Symbol
Go to the town where you had to rescue the Slowpokes from the Rockets.
Enter the cave where you got the Slowpokes from the two Rockets. Use
Strength and push the boulder, then Surf in the pond. Find the ladder,
go to it, and Surf. Talk to the guy there in that part of the cave. He will give you the King's Symbol.

Three legendary dogs

When in Azlea town, go into the burned tower. Choose the path to the
left, smash the cracked rock, and proceed forward. Do not drop into the
hole next to the trainer yet. You will see a hole exactly in the middle of
the tower. Drop down and walk ahead. The dogs will be on a platform.
When you step nearby, they will run in three directions. Go look for them
in the wild. When you encounter one, it will be at level 40 but will run as
soon as possible. Try to put it to sleep. If you manage to damage one of
them, their health will be like that the next time you encounter them. Also,
after it runs away you can check the next place it has gone to. Note: If you
use FLY or enter a new town or cave, it will jump to a new random
place -- keep using fly until it is outside the town that you are at. The
dogs cannot jump into Kanto -- they stay in the Jhoto region.

Double experience and faster level ups

After capturing or defeating the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage, you
will receive a Red Scale. Take it to Mr. Pokemon on Route 30 and he will
give you the Experience Share. Equip that to the Pokemon you want to
level up and it so it will be the first one out in a battle. Once in a battle,
try to win the battle only by using that Pokemon. That Pokemon will then
get the experience for winning the battle, then the same amount for
having the Experience Share equipped (double experience). This works
better if it is a Pokemon that you obtained from a trade. You will then
get Boosted Experience two times instead of one.

Items from Time Capsule Pokemon

When you use the Time Capsule to trade with the older games, every
Pokemon that comes from the Red, Blue, or Yellow version will have an
item equipped with them. Some will just have berries, but others have
better things.

Masterball

Once you collect all eight badges, Professor Elm will give you a ring. Visit
him at his lab to get a Masterball.

Charcoal

Charcoal can be bought in Azaela Town or from the Charcoal man after getting cut. Charcoal powers up fire attacks.

Hard Stone

Hard Stone can be found on Thursday on route 36. This powers up rock attacks.

Miracle Seed

Miracle Seed can be received from a man on route 32. It powers up grass
type attacks.

Mystic Water

Mystic Water can be found in Cherrygrove City. After you get surf, go west
and surf to the fisherman he will give you Mystic Water, which powers up
water attacks. Information in this section was contributed by Cambothugboy.

Nevermeltice

Nevermeltice can be found in the Ice Path. It powers up ice attacks.

Pink Bow

Pink Bow can be received from Mary at the Radio Tower after you defeat
the seventh Gym in Johto and clear the event that follows. Pink Bow powers
up normal attacks.

Sharp Beak

In Olivine City on Mondays, go out to the shore and talk to the person who is
not normally there. She will give you a Sharp Beak. Sharp Beak powers up
flying attacks.

Kanto

going in that direction until you find land. You will then be in Kanto.

Female Mr. Mime

Go to Saffron City before fighting Sabrina. Challenge Sabrina to discover
that her Mr. Mime is female.

Unlimited Nuts, Ant. Nuts, or Conf. Nuts

Go to the plant with the desired nut and take the nut. Call someone (it does
not matter who), then take another nut. You can do this as many times
as needed.

Ecruteak City gym

To get to the gym leader Morty in Ecruteak City, you have to travel in the
shape of an "S". Start directly in front of the first man. Then, walk to the
top of the right trophy. Walk up to the old lady. Then, walk over until you
are at the point where if you go up to the second old man that you will be
directly in front of him, and go up. Then walk straight over to the second
old lady. Finally, go straight up and you will be at Morty.

Monorail ticket

Go to Saffron City and talk to the girl copy cat. FLY to Vermilion City and
talk to everyone in the house where you received the bike voucher. Someone
will give you the Clefairy doll. Take it to the copycat and to get the
monorail ticket.

Metal Coat
Collect all eight badges, then talk to Professor Elm . He will give you the S.S. Anne ticket. Go to the city
where at the Gym Leader was at first not there. Go inside the house at
the shore, the person will let you go through, and you will be on the S.S.
Anne. You will meet a man that wants you to find his daughter on the ship.
