I am adding information that applies to all of the games because they play indentically. I may miss something, so
if it isn't here, check the page for that specific game!! If you still can't find it, e-mail me and I will reply!!
Theives are Good!
In case you were wondering, there are two really good pokemon to have on your team. I recommend getting them
as soon as you see them. Zigzagoon (evolution Linoone) from Ruby and Sapphire or Meowth (evolution Persian) from LeafGreen
and FireRed. The reason you ask. They are both theives and very good too! Both of these Pokemon have the PickUp ability. Sure
you can get one that has something else as a special ability, but 9 times out of 10 you will get one with PickUp. PickUp
allows these two Pokemon to do just that. As you travel through the game, they will continuely want to give you goodies.
Anything from Berries to Nuggets or Rare Candies, even various Pokeballs (one of mine actually had a Luxery Ball). These guys,
once leveled up and taught the right moves, can also be fierce fighters. (The only drawback to evolving them is that they
may loss their PickUp ability.) Be sure to constantly check in on these guys when you have them on your team. They aslo have
had a habit of being put up without an item and as soon as you go to get them out, have something for you. If you are starting
your game without an item and one is on your team, you may be surprised to find something before you even leave!
Pokemon Weaknesses Exposed!
Everyone knows that each type of Pokemon has a weakness. I have a hard time remambering what power works on which Pokemon,
so I started taking notes!! I hope that this will help others to be able to catch more pokemon. I must also say that some
powers can overwhelm a Pokemon and cause it to faint because it is so weak.
Here's what I have so far.
I have a few Pokemon that have two ability types that I am not sure what the best Pokemon to use is to beat it. An example
of this would be Chinchou. It is both a water and an eletric type. I have a hard time beating it still.
If I missed any, please e-mail me.

Which Pokeball Works?
Pokeballs are esential to this game. In order to best use a Pokeball, knowing which ball will catch which Pokemon easiest,
I have found that by writing them down helps me to best play the game.
The choices for Pokeballs makes it hard to determine which one is best for what type of Pokemon.
Here's a quick list to what the Pokeballs are and a short desciption of each.
Regular Pokeball--used for catching low
level, normal Pokemon. Buy 10 to get a Premiere ball free.
Great ball--better than a Regular Pokeball. Used for Pokemon tougher than normal Pokemon.
Ultra ball--better that a Great ball. It is best used for medium level Pokemon. Some Pokemon
may not stay in this one until the third or fourth try.
Net ball--used on Bug and Water type Pokemon. It's a better hold for the tougher Bug or Water
types. If possible, use this instead.
Nest ball--best used on a low level (below 20) Pokemon. Holds better than an Ultra ball, but
to use it takes practice and some good judgement.
Timer ball--a good tough ball the more turns that are taken. It will work like a Master ball
if used in 20 turns. Best for catching Tyranitar, Ursaring, and Metagross.
Premiere ball--free with the purchase of 10 Regular pokeballs. Best used on Entei and some
of the tougher Pokemon in Colosseum. I am not certain which other Pokemon can be captured with this ball since I was only
able to catch Entei with it and primarily used Great and Ultra balls for Colosseum.
Dive ball--found in Ruby/Sapphire, best used on Pokemon underwater.
Master ball--Usually found one in each game. Best used on really tough to catch Pokemon such
as Legends. I used mine in Colosseum on Metagross!!
Repeat balls--These balls are used on Pokemon that you have already caught. If you have already
caught a Seedot, then the next one you run into it will be easier to catch with this ball.
Luxery balls*-- These are suppossed to be comfy compared to the others, but I have not
yet used mine.
*Luxery balls are usually only found in one spot. If you re-enter any contest in Lilycove after you have won the intial
ribbon, your prize will be a luxery ball. You can also get them at the department store lotto if you win. I also have been
able to get my Linoone to pick up a few while out gathering items.
Trading in General
When you decide to trade your Pokemon, be sure that you have saved your game at a Pokemon Center. This is
the only way that you can trade to any of the games including Box.
Another thing to keep in mind is that when you do trade your Pokemon that you have the ones already on your
team for trade. There are PC's located on the top floors of all the Pokemon Centers in the games, Colosseum and Box excluded.
The only place in Colosseum to trade is the basement in Phenic Town. On box, as long as you saved your game
at a Pokemon Center, you can trade, move and catalog your Pokemon anyway you choose.
Trading from LeafGreen/FireRed
I now have all four of these games. One thing that I have learned is that if you intend on trading with someone
to Ruby/Sapphire you will need the GameBoy Link Cable. The Wireless Adapters will not work. You can use the Wireless for trading
with other Green/Red.
You will also have to have the National Dex. You will get this after you have beaten the Elite Four.
Another thing about trading is that if you want to use Pokemon Box, you will have to eventually get both the
Ruby and Sapphire stones on the Sevii Islands. This is way late in the game, so you must be patient. The best thing about
trading is that you get to see just about all of the Pokemon that exist. www.pokemonfanuniverse.com has a great Pokedex for all the games. If ever you need help, contact me. I have been trading between games now for a few months.
Trading Pokemon from Colosseum/XD to Ruby/Sapphire
Once Colosseum/XD has been defeated in Story Mode and you have purified the Pokemon that you want to trade
into Ruby/Sapphire, you'll need to link it up to your GameCube. You will have to have a connection cable for this to work.
Then you'll have to go to Phenac City. At the Pokemon Center, go downstairs and talk to the person behind the counter. Here
is where you will then trade your Pokemon from Colosseum/XD to your GBA game. Just follow the instructions that appear on
the screen. Once you have done this, then you will be able to play your game with those Pokemon. only your purified Pokemon
can be traded. Have fun catching them all!!
On another note, you will not be able to trade should the GBA game be hacked or modified. This means if you
have used a gameshark or Action Replay, you won't be able to trade Pokemon at all. However, there is a way around this, but
it can take a lot of time to do. You'll need a non-hacked game, the gba, Pokemon Box, the link cable and whichever game you
currently have. You'll have to first hook up to trade in Box, then log out and back in with the non hacked game. After that,
you'll be able to trade your Pokemon to XD or Colosseum.
Also, you can trade from all of the GBA games to Colosseum, but I have not been able to trade from Ruby/Sapphire
to XD. Only Red/Green and Emerald can be traded into XD. If you have been able to trade within al lthe games, please let me
know.
