In-game
reset: Press A + B + Start + Select during
game play to reset the game.
Get
heads on coin: Press A when the Pikachu coin is spinning right on
Pikachu's face. Note: This requires precise timing.
Get
tails on coin: Press Up just before the opponent's coin is displayed
when battling an opponent. If done correctly, it will land on tails most
of the time.
Free
booster pack: To get a free booster pack, go to your PC.
Start a duel with anyone. As
soon as you receive your hand, pick the top card and select
"Check". Turn off game off, then back on. Choose
"Continue" from the diary. When you continue, you will be in
front of the person you were dueling previously. They will say that they
lost and will give you booster packs. Note: This works on all opponents,
including the Grand Masters.
To get the easiest booster
packs, fight the girl on the left where the leader is in the Water gym.
She has two prizes and always brings out Staryu, Dratini, and Goldeen. Be
sure to make a very good Lightning deck. She will only give you two
Coliseum packs. Every booster contains a free Gyardos and Diglett; you
will find a good selection.
Go to a club and talk to the
master. Then, go to a computer to get an easy booster pack, even if you
have already gotten that mail.
Four
booster packs from battling: Go to Imanaku in the Fighting Club after talking to a girl at
the Fire Club. Talk to her and she will tell you to look for Imanaku.
Battle him. If you win, he will give you four booster packs.
Unlimited
energy cards: In Dr. Masons Lab, both Sam and Aaron will give you a pack full
of energy when you defeat them/ Sam only plays with two prizes, making him
faster to defeat.
To get ten free energy cards,
go to Sam at Dr. Mason's Laboratory. Challenge him to a normal duel. If
you get the first move do the following:
1. Place Goldeen on the
arena
2. Place Staryu on the bench
3. Attach one water energy on Goldeen
4. Attack with Horn Attack
5. Attach a Psychic energy to Goldeen
6. Evolve it into a Seaking
7. Attack w/ Waterfall
8. Attack with Horn Attack
9. Attach Water energy on Staryu
10. Attack with Waterfall
11. Replace Seaking with Staryu
12. Attack with Slap
13. Use Potion on Staryu
14. Attach any energy on Staryu
15. Attack with Slap
16. Evolve it into Starmie
17. Attack with Starfreeze (2x)
Organize
your cards: Press Select to organize your cards.
Peek
at deck: Use a card that allows you to look in your deck. As soon as you
are finished, turn off the game. Select "Continue Duel". You
have just peeked at your deck without shuffling.
Peek
at prizes: To look at all of your prizes in your duel, defeat the
defending Pokemon and look at one of your prizes. Then, either reset the
game or shut it off. Select "Continue Duel" and defeat the same
Pokemon again and look at other prizes. Repeat this until you see all of
your prizes.
Charizard
card: Select the Charmander and Friends deck at the start of the
game.
Gyarados
card: Defeat Sara in the Water Club to get to Colosseum Booster
Packs. They each have a Gyarados.
Mew
card: There is a Mew card with a purple background that looks just
like the non lvl 2 version. It can be only acquired through Card Pop, and
is extremely rare and powerful.
Easy
medals: When you have a lot of cards and not a lot of medals, make a
deck of Pokemon cards that is strong against the medal you want. For
example, if you want the Fire Medal make a deck of Water Pokemon. Note:
This trick does not work well for the Psychic Medal, because Psychic is
weak against Psychic.
Easy
win: If your opponent sends out Kangashkahn as their first Pokemon,
you can easily win by attacking Kangashkahn until it has a few HP
remaining. Your opponent will most likely have one energy card attached to
Kangashkahn, and will use the attack Fetch. If you do not attack
Kangashkahn and knock it out, your opponent will keep drawing cards until
they have no cards remaining in their deck.
Easy
win decks:
There is no penalty for not
having a basic Pokemon in your hand, so you should make the following
deck:
Pokeball's, Computer Searches, or any other Trainers that may help
4 Exeggcute
4 Exeggcutor
As many Plant and Psychic energy as possible
Get an Exxegutor out and start placing energies. Use Exeggitor's Big
Explosion attack, which does 20x the amount of heads, one per energy
card. There is no limit to the damage, so 20 energy x 20 heads = 400
damage.

you his Imakuni card. Repeat this until you have most of the cards needed
to build a healthy deck.

to cure all status problems. If your Pokemon is affected by a special

problems. You will be confused, but can always get heads on the coin by

Grand
Masters victory: When you defeat the Grand Masters, go to the deck machine on
the top of the screen before you get the cards to build a strong deck. If
you do not do this, the game will proceed to the credits and you will have
to battle again,
Fire
Club trade: To get the Lv.9 promo Slowpoke easier, put all of your energies
except one in temporary decks. Then, talk to the boy. He will reveal the
location for only 1 energy.
Finding
Mitch's students: In order to fight Mitch of the Fighting Club, you must first
defeat his three students. They are all training at different clubs.
Jessica is in the Lightning Club, in the room on the left. Chris is in the
Rock Club in the same room. The last student, Michael, is in the Grass
Club just as you walk in. He will be next to the plant. After you defeat
them, they will all return to the Fighting Club.
Defeat
the Grand Champions: When you defeat a Grand Master and are prompted to prepare your
deck, answer "Yes". You will be able to save the game. If you
lose. just turn off the game and restart at the Grand Master again rather
than starting from the beginning or losing the legendary cards. Note: This
also is useful during the Challenge Cup.
Defeating
the 8 Club Masters:
Gene of the Rock Club: use
a grass and water deck
Amy of the Water Club: use a lightning and fighting deck
Isaac of the Lightning Club: use a fighting and colorless deck
Nikki of the Grass Club: use an all fire deck
Rick of the Science Club: use psychic and lightning deck
Murray of the Psychic Club: use a psychic and colorless deck
Ken of the Fire Club: use a water and fighting deck
Mitch of the Fighting Club: use a psychic and colorless deck
Defeating
Brittany: Do not use just fire-type Pokemon, as you do for the other
members of the Grass Club. Use varied Pokemon instead, because Brittany
uses an "Etcetera" deck (with many different kinds of Pokemon).
Defeating
Ronald: After you defeat the four Grand Masters, you will battle
Ronald. He got to the cards one step ahead of you. Ronald's deck already
has the four legendary cards, and thus is difficult to beat. Use
Hitmonlee's (Lv. 30) Stretch Kick and knock out Ronald's benched Pokemons
one by one. This is best done when he has his Kangaskhan on the arena,
because he will need three energy cards to retreat. Since this kick does
not apply resistance on the benched Pokemons, they can still be hurt even
if they have resistance to Hitmonlee (Fighting).
Try the following when in a
room that when you leave, has you play against Ronald. Even if you have
defeated the Boss/Leader, he/she and his/her cronies still can fought be
repeatedly defeated for two booster packs a piece. This will allow you to
get the cards needed to defeat Ronald.
Defeating
Sam: Send out Staryu. Place Goldeen on the bench. Put Water Energy
on Staryu. End your turn with Slap. Put Water Energy on Goldeen. Evolve
Goldeen into Seaking. Use Slap. Replace Staryu with Seaking. Give Seaking
Water Energy and attack. Sam put Raticate. Attack with Waterfall, two
times.
Ronald's
revenge: After you get all 228 cards, go to the Challenge Hall and the
last person you battle will be Ronald.
Rare
cards: After you get two medals, go to the Challenge Dome. You will
fight three people, including Ronald for a rare Mewtwo card. If you return
and compete in different matches, you can receive rarer cards, like a
Level 8 Mew.
More
cards from the Grand Masters: After defeating the four Grand Masters, go back and fight them
again to win more cards.
Writing
in the Diary: After you receive your first two medals, save your game. Right
after the second medal battle, you will face Ronald or your rival. This
way, if you lose, you can restart the card fight. Ronald will also fight
you after you win your fourth or fifth medal.
Retry
battle: When you have a bad outcome or use a wrong attack in a battle,
just turn the system off. This will save the battle, which you can return
to and repeat your turn. This is useful when you do not want to lose a
Pokemon. Simply allow your opponent to attack, then turn off the Game Boy.
Glitch:
Play with no prizes: Evolve a Ghastly into a Gengar. Then, take all but one prize.
If your opponent has any Pokemon with only ten HP remaining, use Gengar
Pokemon Power: Curse and move a damage counter from one of the other
Pokemon to that Pokemon. This will knock out that Pokemon. Take your last
prize. When the "Decision" screen appears turn off your Game
Boy. Start the game again and choose to continue the duel. Go to the
"Check" menu, then check play area. You will notice that you
have no prizes left. Note: You will have to knock out another Pokemon to
win the duel.
Please
select the first letter of the game's title below. If the word
"The" appears at the start of a title, ignore it and search for
the second word in the title:
