Trainer Event Guide

Several Pokémon are only obtainable through events. Read below for those that are now regularly available.

MOON STONE / SUN STONE

SEVII ISLAND 2

At first, the stall only sells Great Balls and Fresh Water. After saving Lostelle, the Ultra Ball and Soda Pop will also be sold. Once the player has saved Lostelle and entered the Hall of Fame, Lemonade and Moo-moo Milk are also sold. If the player enters the Hall of Fame before saving Lostelle, then immediately after Lostelle is saved, these drinks will not be available, but refreshing the area (such as by entering a building) will make them available.

After beating E4 for the second time, the following items: SUN STONE/MOON STONE/PP UP/TIMER BALL/REPEAT BALL

HITMONCHAN / HITMONLEE

You can take both Pokémon into the ‘’fighting dojo’’

Johto Starters and Unchosen Kanto Starter

The prizes for completing the various modes of Trainer Tower have been
replaced with the Johto starter Pokémon and the Kanto starter that neither
you nor your rival chose. Complete the following modes for each Pokémon:

Single: Chikorita
Double: Cyndaquil
Knockout: Totodile
Mixed: Unchosen Kanto Starter

The previous prizes were evolution-inducing hold items. Each one has another
location where they could be obtained in the game, which is unchanged from
the vanilla game

Trade-Evolved Pokémon

Pokémon that use held item or need be traded, please use the BILL TELEPORT
MACHINE to evolve. Make the Pokémon hold the item then insert him inside
BILL TELEPORT MACHINE.
(the evolution item will not be consumed)

Fossil Pokémon – Items

If you use Rock Smash on breakable rocks, there’s a small chance that they
will drop an item. Outside of Cerulean Cave, all breakable rocks have a 50%
chance of dropping one of these items if you don’t encounter a Pokémon:

• Hard Stone
• Soft Sand
• Star Piece
• Big Pearl
• Pearl
• Ether
• Max Ether
• Revive
• Max Revive
• Heart Scale

FOSSIL POKEMON

In Cerulean Cave, however, you can get fossils from smashing
rocks! Much like Gen IV and Gen VI, this one location in the game will give you them from a different item pool. You will have a 25% chance at getting one of the following items:

• Helix Fossil (Hard Stone if you already have a Helix Fossil)
• Dome Fossil (Soft Sand if you already have a Dome Fossil)
• Old Amber (Star Piece if you already have an Old Amber)
• Max Ether
• Max Revive

Note that if you haven’t received the Old Amber from the scientists at the Pewter Museum yet, you will not be able to receive any Old Amber items from smashing rocks. You will need to give the original Old Amber to the fossil doctor before they are added to the item pool. The same applies to the fossil you got from Mt. Moon

Altering Cave Pokémon

Currently, all Pokémon that were originally set to appear in Altering Cave will
always appear there as opposed to Zubat, albeit in varying encounter rates.

Pokémon that appear in Altering Cave:

• Mareep
• Aipom
• Pineco
• Shuckle
• Teddiursa
• Houndour (mt ember grass too)
• Stantler
• Smeargle

Mew

GIOVANNI’s last battle EVENT (AFTER BEATING E4, TRY TO FIND HIM, HE WILL
GIVE YOU A HINT ABOUT MEW)

Legendary Beasts (Dogs)

In the vanilla game, the legendary beast (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune) whose
type is super-effective against your starter Pokémon’s base type will randomly
roam Kanto once you give the Sapphire to Celio on One Island.
Now, you’ll be able to get all three through roaming. To trigger the next
roaming beast, finish with the current beast by either catching or defeating it,
then DEFEAT THE ELITE FOUR AND POKÉMON CHAMPION AGAIN.
Each beast will spawn only once. The order will depend on your chosen starter:
Bulbasaur: Entei -> Raikou -> Suicune
Charmander: Suicune -> Entei -> Raikou
Squirtle: Raikou -> Suicune -> Entei

Ho-Oh / Lugia

These two legendary birds are at Navel Rock. To get the MysticTicket that
takes you there, speak to the mysterious old woman on Seven Island.

Celebi

Celebi can be found in a new bush placed in BERRY FOREST. It won’t appear
there until after you save Lostelle, as Celebi only show up in areas of peace.
You will need at least one open space in your party; it won’t transfer to your
PC storage system.
This Celebi is holding a Lansat Berry.
