Pokemon: Leaf Green - Strategy Guide (Page 11)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pokemon: Leaf Green - Strategy Guide (Page 11).
Of course, this is not the only way we might have done things. You might give
him more speed EVs to out speed other stat-up artists. You might give him
defense EVs instead of HP EVs to survive Rock Slide better. You might use a
different IV configuration. This is just the most “basic” of the “advanced”
distributions.
Also note that when used on Netbattle interface, this Gyarados would
optimally have 68 HP EVs so that his HP would be 348, four less than a
multiple of 16. This would allow him to activate the Liechi Berry after the
third Substitute while still taking minimal damage from Sandstorm, Poison,
Burn, etc. That would leave 12 extra EVs, best spend in the same way the
leftover 4 were.

anything to add or any inaccuracies to point out, please email me. This has
just covered the really basic stuff.
Well, I guess that’s it, have a nice day, don’t get hit by a bus. (Unless I
don’t like you. Then you can get hit by a bus several times.)

O============================================================================O
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Decide What your team's purpose will be - | |
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
First, it is important to know what you are going to use the team for, and
know right from the beginning. This may appear to be stating the obvious but
how many times does someone not post this info when asking for help or a rate
or fix. For example, is the team ingame only, for netbattle, for fighting a
friend, just for crap and giggles, to try out a new idea or theme, to
challenge the Battle Tower for a Gold shield, etc. The three guidelines you
gave still all apply regardless of how you are going to use the team. Just as
a specific pokemon has a Role on your team, so too does the Team itself have
a role. Having this clear in your mind from the start can be helpful and also
make it easier for others to give a better rate/fix.
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Deciding on Your Team - | |
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
When picking Pokemon to place in your team, think about the following things:
Make sure your team covers its weaknesses, and try not to have a large amount
of Pokemon with the same weaknesses. I know that it isn't always possible,
and that half of the time, you may want to have certain Pokemon in your team
that have the same weakness, and that is fine. I just mean don't have 3+
Pokemon with the same weakness.
When choosing Pokemon, think about their role in your team. I'll cover roles
later. Remember that having a team full of sweepers isn't always the best
idea. Tanks and other support Pokémon are almost always needed. There isn't a
point to having a Pokémon in your team if it has no purpose there.
Pick Pokemon that you like. Even if everyone else doesn't like it, it isn't
their team. It is yours. If you want to use that Pokemon, use it.
This will be the example team that I'm going to use throughout the article.
You will watch it go from Random Pokemon out of the blue(which is what they
are), to a full team. I just scrolled down on Serebii and am going to use the
results... They are: Kangaskan, Seviper, Giraffarig, Dewgong, Swellow, and
Lanturn.
It's a good idea to have Pokemon that cover each other's weaknesses.
Aerodactyl is useless when paralyzed, so it's good to have a Heal Beller or
Aromatherapist when using it. Pokemon that might not have room for a recovery
move and rely on Leftovers for recover could benefit from Wish. Here's an
Umbreon set that's good for keeping more fragile Pokemon alive:
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 244 HP / 176 Def / 88 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Baton Pass
- Mean Look
- Substitute
- Wish
It Baton Passes 98 HP Substitutes, which is pretty good. Since it's slow,
(and should have a speed IV of 0), it shoud pass after they attack, meaning
they attack Umby's defenses instead of the BP recipient. It can pass
Substitute to fragile stuff or Wish to defensive Pokemon that need quick
healing. Mean Look is just in case you trap their Blissey, then you can BP to
a physical attacker... now you've got them trapped. >=)
Celebi may not be able to pass Wish, but it CAN pass 101 HP Substitutes...
props to Jumpman16 for that discovery.
Try not to leave yourself weak to Blissey or Skarmory. If you've got a team
of physical attackers, have fun against Skarm and Weezing. And you'll need
luck trying to take out Regice and Blissey with special attacks. Also try to
have at least one Skarm-Bliss counter, a mixed sweeper is best, examples are
Tyranitar, Gengar, and Dragonite, Sub-Punch plus Bolt-Beam.
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - Choosing Your Movesets - | |
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
I bet you think your Charizard with Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Blast Burn, and
Slash is invincible, now don't you... To put it simply, you are wrong. Having
multiple attacking moves of the same type is redundant. You can have non-
damaging moves of the same type, but attacking moves should cover as many
types as possible. A better Zard set would be a physical sweeper set and the
moves would be Substitute, Dragon Dance, Rock Slide, and Earthquake.
On to the Example Team(ET)...
Kangaskan will be a Physical Sweeper, or a Pokemon that uses Physical
(Fighting, Rock, Ground, Poison, Flying, Normal, Ghost) moves on the enemy. A
good moveset on him would be:
Kangaskan@
Body Slam/Return
Focus Punch
Earthquake
Rock Slide/Shadow Ball
He is what you would call a choice Bander. He uses the item "Choice Band". It
increases the power of his Physical moves by x1.5 and makes it so he can only
use 1 move until the user switches out. I'll get in to His hold Item/EV
distribution later.
Seviper will be one of the annoyers, or Pokemon that are used to harm the
opponent with indirect damage/to just plain annoy the heck out of the
opponent.
Seviper@
Toxic
Sludge Bomb
Glare
Haze
Toxic is a move just to damage. Sludge Bomb gets STAB(Same-Type-Attack-
Bonus), so it is always a great move. Glare is a tech move that paralyzes the
foe. Haze is amazing. It resets all the stats of the Pokémon on the field to
what they started with at the begining of the battle. It is the ultamate way
to stop Curselax or Regitanks.
Giraffarig will Baton Pass, or give its stat boosts to another member of the
team. Here we go again...
Giraffarig@
Baton PassWish
Calm Mind
Psychic
Baton Pass is a given. Calm Mind is a stat up that you BP to another Pokemon.
Psychic is incase it is the last Pokemon left. Wish is there for purposes
already stated in FR's input.
Dewgong is a Special Sweeper, or a Pokemon that uses Special type(Grass,
Fire, Ice, Electric, Dark, Psychic, Dragon) to attack the opponent. It may
not be as powerful as Walreign, but wth. If the chance is given, Giraffe will
BP to this.
Dewgong@
Ice Beam
Surf
Substitute
Hidden Power [Grass]
Ice Beam is for STAB, Surf as well. Substitute is there to prevent W-o-W and
Toxic from harming it. Hidden Power is for more Type Coverage.
Swellow will be a Physical Sweeper(like Kangaskan)
Swellow@
Aerial Ace
Hidden Power: Rock
Return
Substitute/Endeavor(actually works)
AA is great STAB, HP:Rock is a solid Damaging move. Return is also STAB and a
solid damaging move. Sub/Endeavor is a filler.
Lanturn will be an Annoyer.
Lanturn@
Confuse Ray
Surf
Thunder Wave
Attract
It is what is called Parafusiontraction. It can Paralyze, confuse, and
Attract all at once. Surf is for incase it is the last Pokemon.
Choosing Items for Your Team
The team is just about done!!! Choose your items wisely, because they coudl
be the difference between winning and losing. I'll go over it in order.
For special Sweepers, probably the two best items that you can use are Petya
Berry and Leftovers. Petaya Berry is a special berry that increases your
Special Attack when your HP is below 33%(25% in NetBattle). Also, Choice band
is good for Pokémon that learn the move Trick(like Alakazam and Mr. Mime) so
you can swap your CB for leftovers or another useful item..
Leftovers should be familliar.
For annoyers, it really depends. Leftovers is generally the best choice.
For Physical Sweepers, Choice Band, Liechi Berry, Salac Berry, and Leftovers
are good choices. Salac and Liechi are like the Petaya except the Liechi
increases attack and Salac increases speed.
Those items are the most commonly used, and are generally the best to use.
Here are my item choices:
Kangaskhan: Choice Band
Seviper: Leftovers
Girrafe: Leftovers
Dewgong: Leftovers/Petaya Berry
Swellow: Leftovers
Lanturn Leftovers
Since Kangaskhan's purpose is a Choice Bander, the only choice would have to
be CB. lol
Seviper is a decent annoyer, and his low Defences means Leftovers is a good
choice.
Giraffe needs HP until it Baton Passes, so Leftovers is the choice.
Dewgong wants Special attack, but with low stats, Leftovers is a great idea
as well.
Swellow, again with low stats, leftovers is the better choice.
Launturn always needs Lefties.
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
| | - EV Distribution - | |
--|-|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-|--
My EVs will be basic, but this is just an Example team...
Kangaskhan: 252Atk 129Spd 129HP
Seviper: 252HP 129Def 125Sp.Def 4Atk
Giraffe: 252HP 252Speed 6Sp.Atk/Sp.Def
Dewgong: 252Sp.Atk 252HP 6Sp.Def
Swellow: 252Atk 252Speed 6HP
Lanturn: 252HP 129Def 129Sp.Def
You now have a team that is ready to battle. Keep in mind, though,
that 252 252 6 or 252 129 129 Spreads may seem simplest, they aren't usually
the best. Use them to start with, then as you battle, adjust them to your
content and to better fit their purpose.

| __ | 18. FAQ (1800) | __ |
|/ \_|================================================================|_/ \|
Here is a FAQ section to help answer of more questions:
Q: How do I get the Silph Scope and Pokéflute?
A: You get the Silph Scope in the Casino Rocket Hideout after you beat
Giovanni. You get the Pokéflute after rescuing Mr. Fuji. He gives it to you.
Q: How do I get passed the guards outside of Saffron?
A: You get tea from the Lady on the first floor of Pokémon Mansion in Celadon
(the place where you get Eevee).
Q: How do I get Pokémon in Altering Cave to appear?
A: You get Pokémon in Altering Cave to appear through the Mystery Gift Feature.
After you use the Mystery Gift, something will say that so and so Pokémon
have appeared and Altering Cave. *From Serebii*
Q: Do the old RB glitches still work?
A: This one is simple. No. Different technology, better programming, Missingno
is there, but it doesn't do anything.
Q: How do I get the National Dex?
A: You get it by defeating the elite four and having 60 Pokémon in your
Pokedex.
Q: How do I get the legendary dogs?
A: Here is how: It depends on your starter. They'll appear after you beat the
E4.
Raikou---> Squirtle
Entei----> Bulbasaur
Suicune--> Charmander
Q: How do I get to Islands 8 and 9?
A: You get to them through using the Mystic and/or Aurora Ticket. You get
those from Nintendo Sanctioned Events.
Q: How do I get Mew?
A: You get it on Emerald. Here is the link:
Q: What should I use my Master Ball on?
A: I used it on Mewtwo. I would also suggest using it on the legendary cats
(Entei, Raikou, or Suicune) as they run away before you can fight them.
Q: How do I trade with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald?
A: Have 100 Pokémon in your Pokedex and have the Nationaldex
But what about breeding?
See the RSE Help Thread.
Q: How do I track the Legendary Dogs?
A: First, you have to find it once, either by trading it or running around with
repel on, changing areas regularly. Once it's in the pokedex you can look up
its current location. Note that every time you change an area, so does it,
and if you fly, it goes to a random spot, so you must catch it on foot. When
it moves, it generally goes to an adjacent route (skipping towns), but
occaisionally it will "leap" across the world. Every time you change areas,
look it up in the dex, and take note of where it may be headed, you could
cut it off. You can encounter it on grass or water. Once you're on the same
route as it, save and repel, then just run around until it shows up. If you
reset, it will reappear randomly, saving is just to insure you don't kill it
accident. For repel to work, your lead poke must be Level 49 or less. The
first thing you must do in the battle is use Mean Look to prevent escape.
Gengar is a good choice because it's fast and can learn hypnosis. Once it is
trapped, it's just another legendary, but you can't switch out or Mean Look
will stop working. Overall, it's a Heck of a lot easier to just trade them
over from Coliseum.
Q: Can you rate my team?
A: I could, maybe just for natures and movesets. I'll try my best. Also when
you send a team, tell me if that team is in-game or netbattle.
Q: Where can I find ?
A: I will say in the walkthrough when you can get one and where.
Q: What is a nintendo event?
A: When nintendo goes to certain cities in Japan/America. They give out rare
pokemon and various, rare items and such.
Q: Does this run off of the same EV/IV system as in Ruby/Sapphire?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you trade with versions other than RSE?
A: Still no. You will never ever be able to trade with the other version ever
again. Ever. They run off of different systems and the GameBoy Advance link
cable can't connect to a normal GameBoy or GameBoy Color.
Q: How do you battle online?
A: It's complicated. Go to TVsian.com for NetBattle and mirc.com for RSbot.
Ask on the message boards for directions on going to the right server for
RSbot because I forgot and haven't battled there in a long time. >_>
Q: When is this game going to be released in the US?
A: September 9th, 2004.

If you do not already make game guides, then I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend that
you start. At least give it a try; if you do not enjoy it, then you never
have to ever make another one. Who know, you may enjoy it and want to write
more! There are 3 major reasons why you should start. They are listed below:
1- Typing skills. I can now type around 75 words per minute. When I started,
I could type about 15 w/m. Big difference, huh? Imagine how much your
typing skills will improve.
2- Improved grammar and punctuation. Without a doubt, my writing skills have
improved drastically.
3- The amount of people you will help. Although you don't actually meet any
of the people that you'll help, you still help LOADS of people. If you even post
one guide, you will end up helping countless people. It is a pretty good feeling
when you receive e-mails from people thanking you for your work.
