Get Mew through a glitch. What rock where you under if you didn't know about this?

**Josefina** · 26th April 2003, 04:57 PM

Wow.. I can't believe it. I am going to try that cheat right now... !!!!!!!!

Oh Yeah! Here I come Mew!!!!

Yay!

It knew all the moves mew was supposed to learn, "transform,mega punch,metronome, and Pshychic" I used him my Pikachu and the rest of my team to beat yellow for the first time since i got the game when it came out. Note he is now on lvl:59 after beating the indogo plateu.

A glitchy mew...just give it a few weeks and it'll turn out he deletes your game.

Well, I'm off to play my glitchy Blue that won't store a save file for beans. It can't get any more crapped up than that.

**Nace** · 27th April 2003, 03:31 AM

haha! I love this code! My own Mew! By the way, to fix that glitch may I suggest trading it to g/s/c then back? That might do the trick.

**Swinubman53** · 27th April 2003, 11:42 AM

I actually did that to get mew data in my gold version. I think thats what may have made him appear.

**The Muffin Man** · 27th April 2003, 12:28 PM

I am currently having trouble Pausing it at the right moment(currently outside Pewter city, trying to pause it before I get into battle with the first Lass..)

Anyone have any pointers? Or are those two trainers a bit slower to the draw if all goes as planned?

**Kari and Mewtwo** · 27th April 2003, 12:36 PM

if youre usin a rom, its best to put it on frameskip (on VBA, 4 should be enough)..

if its actual cartridge, then the timing will take a bit of practice.

**Mana Lugia** · 27th April 2003, 12:36 PM

I just repeatedly tap the start button right after I press down, hoping for a lucky break

**Pokemaster Cody** · 27th April 2003, 03:11 PM

Finally, after all that truck shiot we finally have a code that works for Mew. I just gamesharked 95 rare candies on my Charmander, sharked all badges, taught Charizard fly, used the floating trick and tried everthing. I also did it again, except, instead of the Youngster, I tried one of the Hikers in the area and got a Nidoqueen. Nice code. The glitches are probably numerous in RB(possibly yellow), it's just that they are so impossible that no one would bother to think about it, just like this one for example. I don't think it was a Nintendo programmer that made it in seret, the game is most likely inspected, it was probably just a placement for all of the pokemon, seeing as how every single pokemon can be found this way. Maybe a Nintendo programmer leaked the info to his son or something like that.

**Thunderchu** · 27th April 2003, 03:13 PM

I really gonna try that code!!!

**Pokemaster Cody** · 27th April 2003, 03:20 PM

Strangest thing just happened. I went from the Gambler to Lavender, fought Gary, and walked back and it said, "I'm better than that school" or something like that and a Machoke appeared.

**Ron** · 27th April 2003, 04:05 PM

Muffin Man, you're not supposed to pause at the battle with the lass in Pewter City. You have to pause before the gambler sees you. Did you read what to do?

**The Gremlin** · 27th April 2003, 06:11 PM

Whoaa, It seems to me like this one is true.

All university work is on hold.

Time to catch MEW

**Shadowkiller** · 27th April 2003, 09:31 PM

Has anybody tried this with other trainer/route combos?
Or is it only this one trainer/trainer/route ?

**GoldDraconian** · 27th April 2003, 09:41 PM

It seems that doing the Gambler trick lets you find different Pokemon based on the trainer you fight.

Conveniently, the Slowpoke Youngster lets you fight Mew.

**Volbachutwotlepuff** · 28th April 2003, 01:37 AM

ok that title sounded wrong didn't it? but I have had 300% confidence in this code ever since i saw it on pkmn.co,uk even tho i haven't done it yet (when i stop being so lazy ill do it on Blue)

now i have got to get back to stuffing my face ok? *shudders* oh that sounds wrong...

**Nace** · 28th April 2003, 06:45 AM

I works alright. I just did it yesterday. *hugs Mew*

**Gnight** · 28th April 2003, 07:34 AM

i've been experementing with the gambler trick and fighting different trainers and seeing what pokemon will appear and when i fought the rocker way south of Lavender town and i flew back of lavender town, went west, my start screen poped up on it's own, i pushed b, a battle ensued, the screen went black longer than usual and i thought "no, it couldn't be" and then Missingno appeared!!

Iirc, I got it right on the first try

**soggy_cardboard** · 29th April 2003, 04:28 AM

does this work on a ROM?

does it still work if ya save on the ROM using shift+F1-9??

**Yurika** · 29th April 2003, 04:59 AM

I haven't posted in here or gfaqs in a long time so I will embrace you with some words of wisdom. Many rumours so similar to this rumour has been made in the past 4 years or so. This being the rumour that has worked but it's quite possible that someone else had this happen and reported it and was pwned for being a liar and etc. Anyways enough about that. It works on yellow from what I hear and the trainers you battle vary in which pokemon they give. What im going to try is see if the missingo and mew can coincide thus giving me lots of chances to catch a mew and one with MAX DV's. Clone it and so on.

Anyone willing to do some research on this can contact kari who in turn can contact me. Kari knows where to find me.

**Zhen Lin** · 29th April 2003, 06:08 AM

I think you have to restart to the saved game in order to do any experiments... After I got the mew, I tried to do the same thing again, but I could never press Start fast enough before the gambler saw me...

Perhaps it is a programmed glitch...

**SageofLaughter** · 29th April 2003, 12:59 PM

It is possible that this was some kind of debug mode for the testers, but if it was I think it would have taken less time to surface.

As for how this was discovered, think about it a moment.
How many millions of copies did this game sell?

Millions of people playing a game over several years will uncover stuff like this, no matter how obscure.

Someone, out of curiosity, presses start in front of the gambler. Out of further curiosity, they fly to another location to see what happens. The start button ceases to function, so they battle a trainer to see if that fixes the glitch. It does, so they fly back to Lavender to try flying from the gambler again. The start menu pops up, and a random Pokémon appears.

They try this again, and a different Pokémon pops up. Again, out of curiosity, they keep trying this, until eventually Mew appears.

Sure, it seems unlikely, but remember that millions of people have had many years to do this.

**Charles Legend** · 29th April 2003, 08:26 PM

Mana Lugia I am behind what you said about if Nindo had not batherd to fix the Glitchs then it's not are falt for finding mew in R/B/y is's Nintendo's for not fixing it and I beleave in this code 100% even thought I have not tested for myself yet.

**Gnight** · 30th April 2003, 05:35 PM

uh......does any body care that i found another way to run in to Missingno??

**GoldDraconian** · 30th April 2003, 06:49 PM

Well, since I'm assuming the different trainers have something to do with the different Pokemon data locations, it's not surprising that you can find Missingno. along with the others, since it's obviously accessible.

**Don't Run With Scizors** · 1st May 2003, 12:19 AM

Little more info on the subject:

Originally posted by White Cat (at this post at Azure Heights):

Eureka!

Further testing proved that it's not any kind of trainer ID number. I monitored the value of CD2D throughout the procedure, and recorded how it changed:

Standing in front of door -> 0F
Gambler sees me as I fly away -> D9
Youngster sees me -> C9
Slowpoke comes out -> 15 (Mew's number)

When I tried fighting the northernmost Fisherman on Route 12 (who triggers a Tangela instead of Mew), here's what happened:

Standing in front of door -> 0F
Gambler sees me as I fly away -> D9
Fisherman sees me -> D6
Goldeen comes out -> 1E (Tangela's number)
Poliwag comes out -> 1A
Goldeen comes out -> 1E (Tangela's number)

Each Pokemon caused a different string of RAM values, starting from CD22:

Youngster's Slowpoke: 8E 11 00 3C 00 1E 00 1D 00 0C 00 15
Fisherman's Goldeen: 8E 16 00 37 00 26 00 22 00 24 00 1E
Fisherman's Poliwag: 8E 16 00 35 00 1E 00 1A 00 30 00 1A

I checked these numbers against the Pokemon's known attacks, but didn't find any matches. Then I looked at base stats. Still nothing. Then I tried the actual stats...

Possible stats for a wild level 17 Slowpoke:
HP: 57-62
Attack: 27-32
Defense: 27-32
Speed: 10-15
Special: 18-23

Youngster's Slowpoke data converted to decimal:
60
30
29
12
21

It's a match!

The Pokemon that you'll fight is the second byte of the last enemy Pokemon's Special stat.

This means that another trainer could trigger Mew if their last Pokemon (or a wild Pokemon) has a Special of either 21, 277, 533, or 789. (I don't think the last three are possible on enemy Pokemon without Growth or Amnesia.)

Incidentally, this also shows that the genes of enemy trainer Pokemon are fixed. In the case of the Youngster's Slowpoke, its Special gene is either 8 or 9.

And in another one of his later posts...

Big news! This trick can be used to easily get any Pokemon in the game, without having to search for trainers with the right Special stat on their last Pokemon.

1. Get a Pokemon with the right Special stat (21 for Mew, 131 for Mewtwo, etc).
2. Fly away from the Gambler.
3. Fight any trainer that will walk to you.
4. Find a wild Ditto and let it Transform into the Pokemon with the proper Special. (This will copy your Pokemon's Special stat into CD2D.)
5. Beat the Ditto (or just run away) and fly to Lavender.
6. Go west into Route 8, and the Pokemon that matches the Special you used will appear.

And later on...

21 decimal = 15 hex
131 decimal = 83 hex

15 is Mew's number, and 83 is Mewtwo's. In RBY, the hex numbers are all jumbled up (01 is Rhydon, 02 is Kangaskhan, etc). Unused numbers, like FE and FF, result in MissingNo. In GSC (and most of RS), they're in logical order (01 is Bulbasaur, 02 is Ivysaur, etc).

Look at a list of GameShark codes to see hex numbers for all the Pokemon.

---

Now all we need is a list of all the hexadecimal equivalents of the Pokémon numbers.

Umbreon*R* · 1st May 2003, 06:39 AM

Yes,This code REALLY works...uhn...well...if you like to catch more Pokés,you can try...Trade Youngster for any other trainer...Here is some try I have do...

Bug Catcher+Butterfree from the route after Vermilion=Chansey
Rocket+Raticate+Hypno from Shilph Co. = Moltres

Go ahead and try...You can really complete your Pokédex with this code...but,if you try with some trainers,you game may freeze or can get a Big Bug...like the one I have do that makes me battle with a Super Nerd untill all my Pokés faint...

Yeah it dose work for red I just did it, So yeah I suport this code 100% as being the way to ceatch mew without a Game shark or Nintendo and I bet you this is also the the way Japan gets mew....;o

**The Muffin Man** · 1st May 2003, 09:31 PM

I've tried it on frameskip NINE...doesn't work for me...

**BigBubb** · 2nd May 2003, 02:59 PM

*adds name to list of people who have done this*

Used my lvl28 Weepinbell and lvl12 Squirtle, if anyone's interested. On Blue.

**soggy_cardboard** · 2nd May 2003, 06:28 PM

YES

does it still work if ya save on the ROM using shift+F1-9??

YES

i tested it out myself.

I've tried it on frameskip NINE...doesn't work for me...

try frameskip ZERO

What i wanna see, is a complete list of which trainers give which pokemon.

so this code means that if u only have one GB/A (u cant trade) in theory, you could get a machamp/alakazam/etc

**Porygon X** · 3rd May 2003, 01:27 AM

WOW!!! I just tried this on my red version and it worked! I transferred my Mew to my Silver just to get a Mew that hasn't got a stupid nickname which can't be changed.

**The Muffin Man** · 3rd May 2003, 02:11 AM

Umm, Soggy...0 is smooth. 9 is the slowest/choppiest on VBA.

**Josefina** · 4th May 2003, 09:12 AM

I am so happy... It worked! =)
After I got the mew, I started trying with other trainers: Pinsir, Gastly, and Arcanine appeared... =)

This discovery is so cool!

Another thing: I don't know why are you having problems at pressing start at the right time in front of the gambler... I have never missed...

Oh well... cya!

**Cheesey** · 4th May 2003, 01:37 PM

I did this on the first try...This code is so cool! Unfortunately I went and fought the gambler afterwards so I can't do it again -_-
But my Mew rocks, I'm so glad I finally got one! I can't wait to show my friends, who probably won't believe me (I just like proving people wrong). 8) cool.

**Gnight** · 4th May 2003, 01:44 PM

this isn't a "code" It's more like a glitch, like Missingno.

**Cheesey** · 4th May 2003, 01:48 PM

Does it matter? Picky, picky...

**ILikePokemonP** · 5th May 2003, 01:41 AM

I know someone's already mentioned it, but you can see a Missingno. with this trick/code/glitch. I know because I saw one today. So instead of going to the trainer with a slowpoke, I went to the trainer closest to the east entrance to Fuchsia City. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, it tried it twice with the same results.

First time, I was playing through stadium 2 so naturally, it said my file had been destroyed blah blah blah so the second time, I tried it on my Gba. It took twice as long to appear as the r/b normal Missingno. (must've been literally over 10 seconds, I thought my Gba was frozen) and the sprite was even stranger. (Someone can post a pic

) I ran and back in normal view, there was about 4 of me walking randomly around the screen. A few button presses later, I was completely invisible. Don't know what else it can do, but I didn't save.

**pokefreak04** · 5th May 2003, 03:51 PM

I know I'm a little late on this, but I just tried it and it really worked! I did it on Blue, and then I transfered it to Red to beef it up and teach it some cool moves, and it is now on Team X, which is on my Silver version<Team X can be seen in my sig>. This Mew code is freakin awesome! I wonder if there is a similar glitch to get Celebi. My friend found a wild Celebi once, but I dont recall how he did it, I'll have to ask. Thanks to whoever provided the code.
