Pokemon Gold/Silver Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I pass Psudowoodo?
A: After getting the Normal Badge, enter a house east of the GYM and a girl in red will give you some water to spary on Psudowoodo.
Q: How do I catch Lugia/Ho-Oh?
A: I tell you... I used 35 ultraballs on Lugia! I paralyzed Lugia and used plenty of flash to lower its accuracy. After a loooong while, Lugia ran out of moves (especially recover.) I recommend to throw the balls now that the bird can’t hit you. Follow the same procedue for Ho-Oh.
Q: Why didn’t Clair give me the Rising Badge?!
A: After beating the leader, surf North of the GYM. Enter a cave, find a whirlpool. Get rid of the whirlpool and keep surfing until you reach an item
ball. Pick it up and Clair will come and give you the Rising Badge!
Q: I need to get through the cave, but it is too dark, is there any pokemon that can learn FLASH early on?
A: Try catching a Bellsprout, HootHoot, or Mareep. These pokemon can learn Flash (Bellsprout because it can learn CUT too, which will also come in handy)
Q: Where is the Ho-Oh Puzzle?
A: Go inside Union Cave you took to get to Azalea. Walk around until you see a boy dressed in blue. Go down the ladder nearby and SURF. You’ll fight some Hikers. Once you exit the cave, you’ll find a trainer that will use Girafrig. You’ll see some grass and another cave. Enter the other cave to find the Ho-Oh puzzle (let me tell you, that puzzle can take a while to solve.) In the grass near the cave, you’ll find Natu and some Smeargle.
Q: How do you pronounce Lugia/Ho-Oh?
A: I know this is not a gameplay question, but lots of people want to know how to pronounce Lugia/Ho-Oh. Lugia is Rugia in Japan, pronounce it: L-oo-gia (pronounce the “G” as in gate.) As for Ho-Oh, pronounce it like it is spelled.
Q: Which pokemon can learn WATERFALL?
A: Well... Gyarados and Feraligatr can learn waterfall. Lugia and Suicune can learn waterfall too. But I would not teach Waterfall to Lugia/Suicune...
Q: Where do I get evolution stones?
A: Go to the Sea Cottage (Bill lived there in Red/Blue). The stone you get depends on the pokemon you are carrying;
Vulpix: Fire Stone
Staryu: Water Stone
Pichu: Thunder Stone
Oddish: Leaf Stone
Lickitung: Sun Stone.
Q: Where do I find Celebi, Mew, Mewtwo, the 3 Legendary Birds?
A: People, I BEG you! PLEASE stop asking for these Pokemon, they can not be found in Gold/Silver. I have heard lots of Celebi rumors. I tried them out and none work. To get Mew, Mewtwo, and the Legendary Birds, you have to trade with a Blue/Red/Yellow version. See the question on the Time Capsule for more info.
Q: Where can I find Slowking?
A: To get Slowking, equip Slowpoke with the King’s Rock and trade it to another Gold/Silver version.
Q: Where do I find the “King’s Rock?”
A: In Slowpoke Well, you should see a boulder, use strength to move it. Surf and explore the cave until you see a guy with glasses. Talk to him and he will give you the King’s Rock.
Q: Where do I find the legendary cats?
A: After you wake the cats, they will randomly appear in the grasses. Keep checking your Pokedex for their Area!
Q: Where do I find xxx?
A: Check out the Pokedex.
Q: Where is the pokemon league?
A: The Pocket Monsters League can be reached by surfing east of New Bark City. You’ll need Surf and Waterfall to get through a small cave. Keep going east. You’ll find some trainers, eventually, you’ll make it to Victory Road. Your rival is waiting for you, so “Be afraid, be VERY afraid.”
Q: How do I get the Radio Card?
A: Ahem do not worry. Lugia has the answer!(Cheers.) To get the Radio Card, you must have done all of the things listed below:
1.Get 13 badges.
2.Go to Cerulean GYM and find a machine part (you’ll need this later.)
3.Fight and beat the TR member on Bridge.
4.Go to the Power Plant and talk to the fat guy, he’ll give you TM 07.
5.Go to Lavender Town to get your uppgrade in the tower.
Q: How do I get the MONORAIL TICKET?
A: To get the monorail ticket, you MUST have the radio upgrade. After getting the upgrade, go to Vermilion City Pokemon Fan Club. Talk to the Clefairy, then to its owner. He will give you a Clefairy Doll. Now go to Copycat and she’ll give you the TICKET!
Q: Where do I find Ash?
A: Once you get 16 badges, go to the pokemon league. Do you remember 2 black belts blocking 2 exits? Well, take the left exit and keep going left until you see a pokemon center. Heal your Pokemon, enter a cave nearby, and get through it with flash. Find Ash, and Bonne Chance!
Q: Where do I get HMxx?
A: Check out our HM/TM Page too!
Q: Is Ash beatable?
A: Yes. Even though he is hard to beat, he is beatable. First, make sure your pokemon are around
level 65. If not; make sure you have plenty of revives and hyper potions. Also, you should have a balanced team. I would suggest one that looks like this; ground, fire, water, psychic, fighting, evil or ghost (not from the Gastly family, Muuma works better.)
Q: Where the heck is Celebi?!
A: Celebi will be given away as a promotion like Mew in the US. In the GameBoy cartdridges.
Q: Who’s stronger, Lugia or Ho-Oh?
A: Er.... If you have seen me on gooey you should know my opinion. But let’s take a closer look at both
pokemon. Lugia: I used to think Lugia was water/flying until I read the stats. Lugia has got good defense,
special, and speed, but as all psychic pokemon, it lacks good attack power. Now Ho-Oh: Ho-Oh’s got high
attack and special backed up by good speed, but not an excellent defense... Lugia is psychic/flying and Ho-Oh is fire/flying. I’d say that they are equal!! But, who really rules? Just pick either one and defend your opinion!
Q: Can I catch Mew or Mewtwo in pokemon gold?
A: No. The Unknown Dungeon just doesn’t exist in Pokemon Gold/Silver. That means no Mewtwo, unless he’s hiding somewhere else. Second, no diploma in Gold/Silver. You’ll need a gameshark for Mew... again!
Q: Why can’t I trade with a Red/Blue/Yellow version?
A: You can! However, you have to learn to use the Time Capsule. To use the Time Capsule, you must make sure that none of the Pokemon in your current team are above number 151 (Mew ), none of them can be carrying Gold/Silver items, and none of them can have any moves (like HM Waterfall) specific to Gold/Silver.
Q: Do Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard evolve?
A: Those pokemon do NOT evolve any further in Gold/Silver. What causes this confusion is that SOME of the old pokemon evolve into new ones (like Onix into Steelix) and all of the rumours revolving around fictitious Pokemon like Venustoise.The pokemon that have been proven to evolve into something new are the following: Chansey, Scyther, Slowbro, Onix, Porygon and Seadra .
Q: Which Hitmon should I get?
A: H-I-T-M-O-N-L-E-E. Along with Machamp, Hitmonlee is simply the best fighting pokemon. As in R/B/Y, Hitmonchan gets beaten up easily, and can’t use his special moves effectively. Now you might be wondering..what about Hitmontop? He has good stats when compared to Hitmonchan. The only problem with Hitmontop is that its move set is not the best one in the world, and its TM/HM compatibility is very poor. Now..why Hitmonlee? 1. Good stats 2. Good moves 3.Good overall
Q: Which Pokemon is the most powerful?
A: Some think it’s Mewtwo.. some think it’s Lugia.. some Mew.. but the truth is..none is (at least in G/S, because in R/BY Mewtwo rules the world with iron grip). Any Pokemon can beat any other Pokemon if they are of high enough level.
Q: When does the Togepi egg hatch?
A: After a good amount of walking.
Q: Who’s better, Lugia or Ho-Oh?
A: Just pick the one you like.
Q. Are Mewtwo, Zapdos & Articuno found in the wild in Gold & Silver?
A. No. They are only found in Red, Blue & Yellow.
