I decided to make this thread for those who are new to the world of RBY... XD
1) Press A while walking around the Casino in Celadon City. Every now and then you will find coins. Sometimes, 10 sometimes 100!
2) Don't just level up a lead Pok�mon. I made this mistake when I first started (Not that I failed because I began leveling up others too). Try leveling each of your six at an even rate. My theory is if you level up your Pok�mon five levels between each gym, you will have very strong little warriors to fight the League without much training.
E.G. LV5 + 10 (Brock's Gym) = 15 + 5 (Misty's Gym) = 20 + 5 (Lt Surge's Gym) = 25 etc. Keep doing that. By the time you get to Giovanni, you will have them strong and level to his. It might be wise to level them about 10 extra levels before battling the League though if you do this.
3) Assess your Gym Leaders before battle. If you do this, you will have a good chance at winning. If you put the best type for the job first, you can win with a type advantage. (I will have a type chart up sometime in the future)
4) It's a good idea to talk to people and check things such as trees. If you talk to people, they may give you advice or even items. In Viridian City, if you check the CUT tree near the coffee guy, you will find a Potion! And the guy near Viridian City (Between VC and Pallet Town) will give you a Potion!
5) Upgrade your Rod. It's a good idea to get all three rods. The rods can hook different Pok�mon. The Old Rod only hooks Magikarp. But that isn't such a big loss. At Level 15, they learn Tackle, and at Level 20, they evolve into Gyarados! The Good Rod hooks better Pok�mon such as Goldeen and Seaking. Still you need the Super Rod which hooks pretty much the same Pok�mon but at higher levels.
6) Catch BOTH Snorlax. Yes there are TWO level 30 Snorlax in the game. If you catch both than you have a good lineup. Snorlax are quite strong. Considered 00bers I think. But yes they are great and can learn many TMs.
7) If you are going to cheat, make sure you know the consequences.
Glitches:
Yes we know of three main glitches in RBY.
Glitch City: This does not affect your game too much. Fly to get out of it.
Mew Glitch: This one does not stuff up the games to my knowledge.
MissingNo: This is the most affective glitch. Sure it multiplies your items a heap. But there are several side-affects.
GameShark/GameGenie/Action Reply:
These will most likely stuff up your game but may not. Be careful with these cheating devices.
8) Basic Battle Tips:
Status Changes: If you change your opponent's status, this can turn a bad battle good.
Poison: Will slowly drain health.
Sleep: This will make your opponent sleep for a small period of time
Paralysis: A good trick. This keeps them paralyzed for the entire battle and they may not move
Burn: Like poison this drains health.
Freeze: This keeps them frozen for ages giving you a tonne of time to attack. They cannot attack while they are frozen.
Confusion: This makes the opponent attack themselves (sometimes). A good tactic!
Stat Lowering: A good way of annoying the opponent
Accuracy: Lowering Acccuracy gives your opponent less of hitting you
Attack: Lowering Physical Damage is the main damage thing in the game
Special: Lowering Special Attacks will help if opponent has type advantage.
Defense: Lowering opponents defense will give you a good chance to do more damage.
Speed: Lowering Speed will give them less chance to attack first.
I think I covered all of the stats.
Damage: Damaging the opponent is key to any battle. The first to get the others health to '0' wins!
Special Attacks: These aren't right up Physical Attacks. These are mostly done from a distance which is good in battle type advantages.
Physical Attacks: The in your face attacks. These may not work as well as Special.
RBY
1) Item Finder DOES help. After you catch 30 Different Pok�mon, go to east of Vermilion City, and go to the top of the lookout. Oak's Aide will give you an Item Finder for your efforts. If you are looking for items such as Rare Candies and you can't find any more of them in Item Balls, try using Item Finder. Item Finder affects the entire screen that's showing. If you move up so there is one more space. It will have a different affect.
An example is in Underground Path. Use Item Finder to find an item. If you move five spaces up or down, this changes the screen, therefore, you may find different items *Hopes it wasn't too confusing*. Once you have got an item in trace, push A until you find it!
2) Having trouble training your Pok�mon? Get an EXP Share. At the top of the lookout west of Fuchsia City and talk to Oak's Aide. If you have 50 different Pok�mon, he'll give you an EXP Share. The EXP Share divides the EXP from the Pok�mon beaten and distributes to Pok�mon equally. Plus, the lead Pok�mon earns its normal EXP!
3) Easy Pok�mon. To get some Pok�mon easily, get coins from the Casino. Some Pok�mon you can only get from the Casino.
~List Coming Soon~
4) Think before you ink! XD In other words, think before teaching moves to Pok�mon. You can only learn up to four moves. And any moves you forget may not be able to be relearnt.
Some TMs can only be used once because they are the only ones in the game.
If you use a HM, it cannot be replaced. However, thanks to GSC this problem can now be fixed. Trading a Pok�mon to GSC is good because of the Move Tutor.
Sometimes you need correct movesets. Check the movesets section of this forum to get a good moveset.
5) Evolving can be good, yet, sometimes it isn't. Pok�mon that evolve by an evolution stone are mainly what this is aimed at. Some Pok�mon learn better moves before evolving.
Take Growlithe for example. If it doesn't evolve before learning all moves, it can learn Ember, Leer, Take Down, Agility and Flamethrower. Yet, if you evolve it straight away, it will only know Roar, Ember, Leer and Takedown.
Yet, sometimes evolution IS needed. Take Eevee for example, unless it evolves early, it will only know crud moves. Keep this in mind.
GSC
1) Trial and Error is the key. Take the Underground Basement in Goldenrod City for example. There are switches around. You have to get three of them in the right order. This is the key!
Then you have other things such as Price's gym. This involves quite a bit of thinking. But remember: Trial and error.
2) Assess the situation and then attack.
In battles, especially in the improved series of Pok�mon (GSC in other words), it is important to assess the situation. Think before you ink! XD. Take Gengar for example. In RBY, it was just a Ghost type and you could attack it head on with a Psychic type. Now, you have to use a different type because it is Dark, making it resistant to Psychic.
3) Do the side quests. Doing the side quests can make the game easier. Take the Magnet Train for example. This speeds up the time it takes to get to Kanto from Johto. This is alot faster. Not to mention, if you get the Ticket from the Mimic Girl (Find her doll) then you can ride and it is quick. Also, you can get the Pok� Flute channel (Accessable only in Kanto) and can wake up Snorlax.
Red/Blue/Yellow
1) Don't start the game with your friend's LV70 Mewtwo (Yes I got that title from Prima's Strategy Guide). If you start off the game with that Mewtwo, it will not obey. It may attack like once every five turns! Chances are it will go to sleep! You need badges. These are the badges that affect levels that make your Pok�mon obey.
Cerulean City - Cascade Badge = LV30. This means you could trade a level 25 Ivysaur from your friend and have it obey.
Celadon City - Rainbow Badge = LV50. This means you could trade over a level 42 Jynx from your friend and have it obey.
Saffron City - Marsh Badge = LV70. This means you could trade over a level 66 Mew from your friend and have it obey.
Viridian City - Earth Badge = All Pok�mon. This means you can actually trade the Mewtwo over and use it (You could for Marsh Badge too). All Pok�mon at any level will obey with this badge.
2) Happiness is the best thing. In Yellow, you must make Pikachu happy in order to get Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbsaur. One sly and sleazy way, is to use a Potion when Pikachu is at full health. That was a small glitch.
3) Why go to all the effort at the Safari Zone? At the Safari Zone, some Pok�mon are a pain in the butt. Kangaskhan being the most annoying. There are two ways to get the Kangaroo without going to the Safari Zone. Trade from GSC OR do the Missingno code. Your choice!
4) Master Ball. Yes, everyone knows if you do the Missingno code you can easily duplicate it. OR you could save it and use it on Mewtwo in the Unknown Dungeon.
5) Item ball or Electrode? In RBY, Voltorb/Electrode are very sinister and disguise themselves as item balls. So be careful in case you get ZAPPED!
6) Safari Zone fenced Pok�mon and Bill's House. If you are new to the Pok�mon World just remember, seeing adds data to the Pok� Dex. So take a look at Bill's favourite Pok�mon and look at the ones caged in the Safari Zone, and you'll find that it adds pages to the dex. Plus, if you can catch those Pok�mon in the wild, it will add data to the area, therefore allowing you to find them!
RBY:
1) The irratating Eevee Factor. Did you go to Celadon City and find Eevee and say "Now what should I evolve it into?". Now unless you trade it to GSC for the duplicating trick, there's really only one Eevee. The only other way, I believe, is getting lucky through MissingNo cheat. Again, unlikely.
Anyways, here are a few things to consider:
Vaporeon
Type: Water
Height: 3'3"
Weight: 64 lbs
Data: Lives close to water. Its long tail is ridged with a fin that is often mistaken for a memaid's.
Skill List:
----- Tackle
----- Sand Attack
LV27 Quick Attack
LV31 Water Gun
LV37 Tail Whip
LV40 Bite
LV42 Acid Armour
LV44 Haze
LV48 Mist
LV54 Hydro Pump
TMs: 06, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 31, 32, 33, 34, 39, 40, 44, 50
HMs: 03
Jolteon
Type: Electric
Height: 2'7"
Weight: 54 lbs
Data: The Jolteon accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere to blast out 10,000-volt lightning bolts.
Skill List:
----- Tackle
----- Sand Attack
LV27 Quick Attack
LV31 Thundershock
LV37 Tail Whip
LV40 Thunderwave
LV42 Double Kick
LV44 Agility
LV48 Pin Missile
LV54 Thunder
TMs: 06, 08, 09, 10, 15, 20, 24, 25, 31, 32, 33, 34, 39, 40, 44, 45, 50
HMs: 05
Flareon
Type: Fire
Height: 2'11"
Weight: 55 lbs
Data: When storing thermal energy in its body, the Flareon's temperature can soar to over 1,600 degrees.
Skill List:
----- Tackle
----- Sand Attack
LV27 Quick Attack
LV31 Ember
LV37 Tail Whip
LV40 Bite
LV42 Leer
LV44 Fire Spin
LV48 Rage
LV54 Flame Thrower
TMs: 06, 08, 09, 10, 15, 20, 31, 32, 33, 34, 38, 39, 40, 44, 50
HMs: 03
So think if that's the Pok�mon you want.
2) Name Rater Information. The Name Rater located in Lavender Town changes your Pok�mon's name. However, there are a few things you need to know:
The name rater does NOT change the names of traded Pok�mon.
He has no PC in his house, therefore if you want to change more than 6 names, you MUST go to the Pok�mon Center.
Those two are important to remember.
3) TMs at Celadon:
RBY doesn't seem to supply information about TMs at Celadon City Store. So you must by them for yourself. I have a list that may help:
TM 01: Mega Punch (A personal favourite of mine: Also found at Mt. Moon)
TM 02: Razor Wind (Takes to turns to charge, keep in mind: Also found at Silph Co.)
TM 05: Mega Kick (Not too accurate: Also found at Victory Road)
TM 07: Horn Drill (OH-KO: Also found at Celadon Team Rocket Hideout)
TM 09: Take Down (Recoil Damage after hit: Also found at Silph Co.)
TM 17: Submission (Recoil Damage after hit: Also found at Victory Road)
TM 32: Double Team (Raises evasivness: Also found at Safari Zone)
TM 33: Reflect (Halves physical attack damage: Also found at Power Plant)
TM 37: Egg Bomb (Normal Attack: Also found at Safari Zone)
That's from my thread on PC. Didn't have much. Feedback and additions is accepted.
Game Bugs:
These could screw up your game. So don't tell me I didn't warn you.
R/B/Y
1) Mew Glitch
That's right! You CAN get Mew in this series! And it's pretty easy too. There's just two things you must not have done.
After those two there's just another two things you need - Fly. That's west of Celadon City.
Anywho, have the Pok?n that knows Fly and go to the Underground Path. Just before you walk out of the one leading back to Lavender, SAVE YOUR GAME and keep your finger on the Start button. Walk out. Have that finger ready. Take another step down and IMMEDIATELY push the Start button! Pick your Flying Pok?n and Fly to Cerulean City. You will notice an exclamation mark appear on top of the Gambler's head as you fly away.
Upon reaching Cerulean, you will notice your Start button doesn't work. I'm guessing it's because it thinks you're in a battle.
Go to Nugget bridge and to the trainer I mentioned earlier. The one with the Slowpoke. Don't walk in front of him. Make sure there's a gap so he walks to you. Battle. Fly to Lavender town. Head to the narrow gap west. Start menu will pop up. Pop it down. Mew will appear. Level 7. Knows Pound. Catch it.
2) MissingNo.
Yes the infamous glitch.
Requirements:
Before I go on, I must warn you this can screw up your game.
Fly to Viridian and talk to the Coffee guy. Let him show you how to catch Pok?n. Fly to Cinnabar and Surf along the ledge on the east side next to the gym. Eventually one of two things will happen:
a) A Pok?n will appear at LV120, 178, etc. This depends on what name you chose.
b) MissingNo/M will appear at 128, 80, or 0.
If you got MissingNo or M, you can either defeat it, catch it or cheese it (Run). I wouldn't catch unless I had a spare spot open in the party. Either way, when you're done, you will have the sixth slot item multiplied by 128 (Correct me if I'm wrong).
3) Tree Climbing
Nothing that can get personal gain but any how.
[list]
[*]CUT down a Cut tree.
[*]Stand in the spot where it was.
[*]Save
[*]Restart and reload your Saved game.
[*]You will be on the tree.
Just walk to the side to get off.
4) Glitch City
Coming Soon.
5) Kangaskhan Easily
Ever thought it as a bugger in the Safari Zone. Well it's easy if you don't mind bugs in the game.
Follow the same steps as MissingNo EXCEPT this time, you're looking REALLY specifically. A LV0 M. If that appears, catch it (WITH A SLOT IN YOUR PARTY) and give it a Rare Candy. It will grow to LV1 and, for some reason, evolve into Kangaskhan, why not. Have fun training it.
G/S/C
There's about two.
1) All Three Starters
Coming Soon.
2) Duplicating Pok?n
Yes another infamous bug.
Save. Easier in front of a PC. Go to the PC. Deposit Pok?n. Change Box. Change to any box, it doesn't matter. When it asks you if you want to save, say "Yes" and IMMEDIATELY switch off the game as it says "Saving Don't Turn Off the Power". Come back to your game. Check party. If Pok?n is there, check box. If it's there, you are successful.
NOTE: This has been known to erase Pok?x data if done unproperly.
Type Chart for Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen/Colosseum/XD/Diamond/Pearl
By NintenBeau
Type Match-ups are extremely important and you'll struggle throughout the game if you don't take this into consideration. In this little explanation, I shall use references to the second chart the Gold, Pearl, Emerald etc chart, so if you're readng this with Red, Blue or Yellow in mind, check the first type chart ahead to see if what I refer to is the same for RBY (since there have been many changes). The Column on the left (listing all of the types) is the type of move you will be using and the Pokémon types listed across the top row represent the type of the Pokémon you will be battling. The green circles show super effective hits, so if he use this type chart we can see that a Fire type attack (eg. Flamethrower) will be super effective against Grass, Ice, Bug and Steel types. The red squares show not-very-effective hits, so if we use Fire type attacks again, we can see they are not very strong against Fire, Water, Rock and Dragon Types. The black crosses represent attacks that have no-effect on the opponent whatsoever. So an Electric type move (eg. Thunderbolt) will do no damage against a Ground type (such as Dugtrio). Another important factor to take into account, is dual-typed Pokémon, those Pokémon who have 2 types. Here are the possible outcomes:
Super Effective X4 (Both types are weak to the attack)
Super Effective X2 (Only one of the types is weak to the attack and the other is neutral/normal)
Normal/Neutral (Both attacks are normal/neutral to the attack)
Not Very Effective X 0.5 (One type resists the move's type and the other is normal/neutral)
Not Very Effective X 0.25 (Both types resist the move and its type)
It has no effect X 0 (The move has no effect on at least one of the opponent's types)
If we used a Jumpluff as an example (Grass/Flying), a Super Effective X4 attack would be Ice, as it is strong against both Grass and Flying types. A Super Effective X2 attack would be Fire or Rock for example, Fire is strong against Grass but normal against Flying or Rock is strong against Flying but normal against Grass. A Ghost type attack would be normal all round, since Ghost is neither strong nor weak against Grass or Flying. A Water type attack would be Not Very Effective X 0.5 because Grass resists it but it's normal against Flying. A Grass attack would be Not Very Effective X 0.25 because Grass and Flying both resist Grass type attacks. And finally, a Ground type move would have No Effect X 0 against Jumpluff, because as a Flying type it totally resists Ground, remeber that a no effect takes total priority, even though Ground is not very effective against Grass, because the Flying type is there. A good example to explain this Gligar, an Electric attack should be Super Effective because it is part Flying, but because it is also part Ground, this takes priority and makes the attack have No Effect.
The only other factor to take in is the Physical/Special split. Physical moves use Attack and resist with Defence, whereas Special moves use Special Attack and resist with Special Defence. In RBY, Special was just a single stat, so your Special Attacks and Defence were the same. In RBY, Poison was a special type and all the others were the same as the current format you'll see below and so in GSC/RSE/FRLG/ColXD all move types have this format:
Physical: Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, bug, Rock, Ghost & Steel.
Special: Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Dragon & Dark.
So an example to show this is a Chansey, it has a huge Special Defence stat, so any Fire, Water etc moves aren't very good at all, whereas if you hit with Ground or Fighting attack (Fighting being Super Effective anyway), you are sure to cause a lot of damage, since Chansey's Defence stat is... pathetic. Here's the chart for RBY, but NOTE- When checking using a type against the same type (Fire Vs Fire, Water VS Water, Electric VS Electric etc), my references did not tell me what these were, I have assumed according to the games pattern but TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT (don't take it as the truth and be careful basically), anyway without further ado here it is:
![[Image: MatchUpRBY.png]](http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r2/NintenBeau/MatchUpRBY.png)
And the GSC/RSE/LGFR/ColXD/DP
![[Image: TypeChart.png]](http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r2/NintenBeau/TypeChart.png)
1) Press A while walking around the Casino in Celadon City. Every now and then you will find coins. Sometimes, 10 sometimes 100!
2) Don't just level up a lead Pok�mon. I made this mistake when I first started (Not that I failed because I began leveling up others too). Try leveling each of your six at an even rate. My theory is if you level up your Pok�mon five levels between each gym, you will have very strong little warriors to fight the League without much training.
E.G. LV5 + 10 (Brock's Gym) = 15 + 5 (Misty's Gym) = 20 + 5 (Lt Surge's Gym) = 25 etc. Keep doing that. By the time you get to Giovanni, you will have them strong and level to his. It might be wise to level them about 10 extra levels before battling the League though if you do this.
3) Assess your Gym Leaders before battle. If you do this, you will have a good chance at winning. If you put the best type for the job first, you can win with a type advantage. (I will have a type chart up sometime in the future)
4) It's a good idea to talk to people and check things such as trees. If you talk to people, they may give you advice or even items. In Viridian City, if you check the CUT tree near the coffee guy, you will find a Potion! And the guy near Viridian City (Between VC and Pallet Town) will give you a Potion!
5) Upgrade your Rod. It's a good idea to get all three rods. The rods can hook different Pok�mon. The Old Rod only hooks Magikarp. But that isn't such a big loss. At Level 15, they learn Tackle, and at Level 20, they evolve into Gyarados! The Good Rod hooks better Pok�mon such as Goldeen and Seaking. Still you need the Super Rod which hooks pretty much the same Pok�mon but at higher levels.
6) Catch BOTH Snorlax. Yes there are TWO level 30 Snorlax in the game. If you catch both than you have a good lineup. Snorlax are quite strong. Considered 00bers I think. But yes they are great and can learn many TMs.
7) If you are going to cheat, make sure you know the consequences.

2) Happiness is the best thing. In Yellow, you must make Pikachu happy in order to get Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbsaur. One sly and sleazy way, is to use a Potion when Pikachu is at full health. That was a small glitch.

So think if that's the Pok�mon you want.
2) Name Rater Information. The Name Rater located in Lavender Town changes your Pok�mon's name. However, there are a few things you need to know:
The name rater does NOT change the names of traded Pok�mon.
He has no PC in his house, therefore if you want to change more than 6 names, you MUST go to the Pok�mon Center.
Those two are important to remember.
3) TMs at Celadon:
RBY doesn't seem to supply information about TMs at Celadon City Store. So you must by them for yourself. I have a list that may help:
TM 01: Mega Punch (A personal favourite of mine: Also found at Mt. Moon)
TM 02: Razor Wind (Takes to turns to charge, keep in mind: Also found at Silph Co.)
TM 05: Mega Kick (Not too accurate: Also found at Victory Road)
TM 07: Horn Drill (OH-KO: Also found at Celadon Team Rocket Hideout)
TM 09: Take Down (Recoil Damage after hit: Also found at Silph Co.)
TM 17: Submission (Recoil Damage after hit: Also found at Victory Road)
TM 32: Double Team (Raises evasivness: Also found at Safari Zone)
TM 33: Reflect (Halves physical attack damage: Also found at Power Plant)
TM 37: Egg Bomb (Normal Attack: Also found at Safari Zone)
That's from my thread on PC. Didn't have much. Feedback and additions is accepted.
Game Bugs:
These could screw up your game. So don't tell me I didn't warn you.
R/B/Y
1) Mew Glitch
That's right! You CAN get Mew in this series! And it's pretty easy too. There's just two things you must not have done.
- Defeated the Gambler with two Poliwags outside the Underground Path between Lavender and Celadon.
- The youngster facing upwards at Nugget bridge with a Slowpoke.
After those two there's just another two things you need - Fly. That's west of Celadon City.
Anywho, have the Pok?n that knows Fly and go to the Underground Path. Just before you walk out of the one leading back to Lavender, SAVE YOUR GAME and keep your finger on the Start button. Walk out. Have that finger ready. Take another step down and IMMEDIATELY push the Start button! Pick your Flying Pok?n and Fly to Cerulean City. You will notice an exclamation mark appear on top of the Gambler's head as you fly away.
Upon reaching Cerulean, you will notice your Start button doesn't work. I'm guessing it's because it thinks you're in a battle.
Go to Nugget bridge and to the trainer I mentioned earlier. The one with the Slowpoke. Don't walk in front of him. Make sure there's a gap so he walks to you. Battle. Fly to Lavender town. Head to the narrow gap west. Start menu will pop up. Pop it down. Mew will appear. Level 7. Knows Pound. Catch it.
2) MissingNo.
Yes the infamous glitch.
Requirements:
- Flight
- Access to Cinnabar and Viridian
- Surf
- An item that can be multiplied (Has a number next to it like Master Ball x1) in sixth slot.
Before I go on, I must warn you this can screw up your game.
Fly to Viridian and talk to the Coffee guy. Let him show you how to catch Pok?n. Fly to Cinnabar and Surf along the ledge on the east side next to the gym. Eventually one of two things will happen:
a) A Pok?n will appear at LV120, 178, etc. This depends on what name you chose.
b) MissingNo/M will appear at 128, 80, or 0.
If you got MissingNo or M, you can either defeat it, catch it or cheese it (Run). I wouldn't catch unless I had a spare spot open in the party. Either way, when you're done, you will have the sixth slot item multiplied by 128 (Correct me if I'm wrong).
3) Tree Climbing
Nothing that can get personal gain but any how.
[list]
[*]CUT down a Cut tree.
[*]Stand in the spot where it was.
[*]Save
[*]Restart and reload your Saved game.
[*]You will be on the tree.
Just walk to the side to get off.
4) Glitch City
Coming Soon.
5) Kangaskhan Easily
Ever thought it as a bugger in the Safari Zone. Well it's easy if you don't mind bugs in the game.
Follow the same steps as MissingNo EXCEPT this time, you're looking REALLY specifically. A LV0 M. If that appears, catch it (WITH A SLOT IN YOUR PARTY) and give it a Rare Candy. It will grow to LV1 and, for some reason, evolve into Kangaskhan, why not. Have fun training it.
G/S/C
There's about two.
1) All Three Starters
Coming Soon.
2) Duplicating Pok?n
Yes another infamous bug.
Save. Easier in front of a PC. Go to the PC. Deposit Pok?n. Change Box. Change to any box, it doesn't matter. When it asks you if you want to save, say "Yes" and IMMEDIATELY switch off the game as it says "Saving Don't Turn Off the Power". Come back to your game. Check party. If Pok?n is there, check box. If it's there, you are successful.
NOTE: This has been known to erase Pok?x data if done unproperly.
Type Chart for Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen/Colosseum/XD/Diamond/Pearl
By NintenBeau
Type Match-ups are extremely important and you'll struggle throughout the game if you don't take this into consideration. In this little explanation, I shall use references to the second chart the Gold, Pearl, Emerald etc chart, so if you're readng this with Red, Blue or Yellow in mind, check the first type chart ahead to see if what I refer to is the same for RBY (since there have been many changes). The Column on the left (listing all of the types) is the type of move you will be using and the Pokémon types listed across the top row represent the type of the Pokémon you will be battling. The green circles show super effective hits, so if he use this type chart we can see that a Fire type attack (eg. Flamethrower) will be super effective against Grass, Ice, Bug and Steel types. The red squares show not-very-effective hits, so if we use Fire type attacks again, we can see they are not very strong against Fire, Water, Rock and Dragon Types. The black crosses represent attacks that have no-effect on the opponent whatsoever. So an Electric type move (eg. Thunderbolt) will do no damage against a Ground type (such as Dugtrio). Another important factor to take into account, is dual-typed Pokémon, those Pokémon who have 2 types. Here are the possible outcomes:
Super Effective X4 (Both types are weak to the attack)
Super Effective X2 (Only one of the types is weak to the attack and the other is neutral/normal)
Normal/Neutral (Both attacks are normal/neutral to the attack)
Not Very Effective X 0.5 (One type resists the move's type and the other is normal/neutral)
Not Very Effective X 0.25 (Both types resist the move and its type)
It has no effect X 0 (The move has no effect on at least one of the opponent's types)
If we used a Jumpluff as an example (Grass/Flying), a Super Effective X4 attack would be Ice, as it is strong against both Grass and Flying types. A Super Effective X2 attack would be Fire or Rock for example, Fire is strong against Grass but normal against Flying or Rock is strong against Flying but normal against Grass. A Ghost type attack would be normal all round, since Ghost is neither strong nor weak against Grass or Flying. A Water type attack would be Not Very Effective X 0.5 because Grass resists it but it's normal against Flying. A Grass attack would be Not Very Effective X 0.25 because Grass and Flying both resist Grass type attacks. And finally, a Ground type move would have No Effect X 0 against Jumpluff, because as a Flying type it totally resists Ground, remeber that a no effect takes total priority, even though Ground is not very effective against Grass, because the Flying type is there. A good example to explain this Gligar, an Electric attack should be Super Effective because it is part Flying, but because it is also part Ground, this takes priority and makes the attack have No Effect.
The only other factor to take in is the Physical/Special split. Physical moves use Attack and resist with Defence, whereas Special moves use Special Attack and resist with Special Defence. In RBY, Special was just a single stat, so your Special Attacks and Defence were the same. In RBY, Poison was a special type and all the others were the same as the current format you'll see below and so in GSC/RSE/FRLG/ColXD all move types have this format:
Physical: Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, bug, Rock, Ghost & Steel.
Special: Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Dragon & Dark.
So an example to show this is a Chansey, it has a huge Special Defence stat, so any Fire, Water etc moves aren't very good at all, whereas if you hit with Ground or Fighting attack (Fighting being Super Effective anyway), you are sure to cause a lot of damage, since Chansey's Defence stat is... pathetic. Here's the chart for RBY, but NOTE- When checking using a type against the same type (Fire Vs Fire, Water VS Water, Electric VS Electric etc), my references did not tell me what these were, I have assumed according to the games pattern but TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT (don't take it as the truth and be careful basically), anyway without further ado here it is:
And the GSC/RSE/LGFR/ColXD/DP
