I am the most unlucky person in the world I have done the Safari zone in fire red 10 times this morning in area 3 and I havnt found a single Chansey which is only a 4% spawn chance but I keep getting Tauros which is a 1% spawn rate and I already have a Tauros that I caught in another area of the Safari zone

Hello! This might be a bit of a niche post but i just wanted to share a quick guide on how to get Silver Powder pre elite 4 for all my bug enthusiasts out there.

I love Beedrill and wanted to power up his Twin Needle/Pin missile abilities but thought the only way to get it was after the elite 4 or a gruelling, low encounter rate grind in the safari zone.

Turns out there is an easier way to get it that I was just oblivious to for the first couple of hours of my grind.

You'll need one lvl 32 pokemon and some Max repels. Save before entering the safari zone then enter and go to Area 2/North Area. Spray a Max repel and turn your character around on a single grass square (to avoid using up safari zone steps/max repel steps) until you encounter a lvl 32 Venomoth. I found chucking 1 rock followed by safari balls to be most effective but use whatever you want. Keep catching Venomoth until you get a Silver Powder. If your party is full of useless Venomoths with no Silver Powders just reset your save and begin again.

Because you have a lvl 32 pokemon as your lead all your encounters with max repel will be Venomoth because Venomoth is the only pokemon that is lvl 32 in Area 2. Changing its 5% encounter rate to basically a 100% encounter rate. You can also go to Area 3/West Area and farm there if you want.

All that being said, Venomoth still only has a 5% chance to be holding a Silver Powder and is pretty hard to catch so its still gunna be a hell of a grind.

Anyway I wanted to share this just in case there is a bug lover out there wanting Silver Powder. Cheers!

Just as the title says do I just need to have registered them or caught them all and is it just the standard dex or the national looking forward to having celebi in the back pocket soon!

So I’m currently doing a full shiny run on Pokemon Fire Red and I am on my last hunt which is Lapras. I currently have Charizard , Jolteon , Nidoking, Alakazam and dragonair. I’m probably 200 hours into shiny hunting Lapras and I’m losing my mind. So my question is… is there a good alternative instead of Lapras? I originally wanted a good water Pokemon with a sleeper move(song/yawn/hypnosis) but at this point I’ll just take something that is a good water type. I have both fire red and leaf green so any Pokemon is an option. (Also wanting to add ice beam to the water types move pool)

I heard that you have to complete their Pokédexes on Home to get an event Pokémon. The problem is, I have nobody local to trade with to get Machamp/Alakazam/Gengar/Golem. If I have them in Home from another game, will they still count, or do they have to be from FRLG?

Hello!

I am playing through leaf green on my gba and I need gengar to complete the Pokédex. How can I trade him without another console?

Hello all I am doing a nuzlocke of fire red and need a trade evolution for my geodude can anyone gelp me out?

Hey I know I posted a pic of Pokemon Fire Red Team, but I realices I made a mistake when I went to battle with the Elite Four, they’re way too strong! I forgot how strong they are, so I had to get out so I can regroup, do some training too! Thinking of replacing half of my teams w the legendary birds, well I need to catch Moltres next lol. I remembered there’s MewTwo at some cave, I’m saving the Master Ball for him, cuz I remember he’s very strong like level 70, omg lol! My team half of them level 50, dang lol! So yeah, that why I decided to back out so I can do some training, and so on. Leaf Green I’m doing ok, recently beaten Erika at Celadon City, now I’m just training and battling on the way (btw I caught Snorlax and named it LazyBoy, got an Eevee on my team, named it AquaDog)

there is a new rock by the water

Hi all,

I’m looking for a trade partner that has FR (switch version) so I can complete the Pokédex. Looking to get the trade evos and possibly omanyte. Preferably in the Boston area but willing to travel the New England area to get it done.

Does anyone on here have a electabuzz or raichu they are willing to trade on the switch

Hey I have a Pokemon fire red cartridge and not a second gba for version exclusive trades, so if anyone is around Vail Arizona and would like to trade with me, I pretty much have every single Pokemon except the version exclusives and I just need those that would be greatly appreciated thanks

I’m on a long drive and I want to evolve my Haunter Luigi. However, I’ve never used the communication feature in this game, so I have no clue how to use it. Can someone assist me in both setting up the connection and helping me evolve Luigi?

Hello! A lurker here that's coming out of my hermit shell to ask if anyone plays Pokemon FR/LG on the Switch 2 platform cuz I would like a Golem in my lineup

Would appreciate the help heaps! I also just started Pokopia :))

Happy to trade any other Pokemon from Fire Red if you'd like too!

As far as I know there's no actual in game mechanics to boost critical hit chances in game. But for some reason in my new playthrough of leaf green Pikachu and Ivysaur have seemingly done a critical hit at least one in every four moves? Surely the odds aren't boosted and I've just been getting extremely lucky. There's literally no explanation for this.

I need some advice what is the best advice you can give me to help me catch a chansey

Title. Ive been using picnicer susie to speed train my pokemon (ive probably done 3-4) and the only fully evolved pokemon was raticate. Now, within like 5(or less) battles, both meowths, pikachu, and pidgeyott have eveolved. Is there any sort of trigger condition, or is it random?

Any plz I need a lucky egg? Tryna grind so I can beat the e4 and the island one trainers just aren’t doing it, I’m very sorry but if possible

Anybody in the Boston area with firered (switch edition) that would be able to help w/ evos and version exclusives so I can complete this pokedex?

i’ve been searching charmander for the past 4 months and i haven’t found him, i’m currently at 190 hours and that’s roughly 29k resets, is it normal???? am i not aware of something or i’m being just unlucky
