How to catch a level 100 Gengar before Brock in pokemon yellow!

[@nextlevelgamer3]

to anyone who says its stupid to have this thing go to level 100 that easily hasn't played the stadium games, its near impossible to beat those games without a decent team, and that's where gengy comes in

[@rylandtappe-inglis6325]

+NextLevelGamer anyone who says anything about glitching being stupid is stupid. Don't want a lvl 100 right off the bat? don't get one, am I right? Tell them to fuk off and let you play your own way.

[@nextlevelgamer3]

Ryland Tappe-Inglis they havent played stadium....*shudders*

[@salkryeful]

+WaistbandTuck No, but stadium was able to connect and upload pokemon from yellow, red, and blue games.

[@ArtisChronicles]

Ryland Tappe-Inglis I always glitch rare candies to save time. this just saves more time if you get one this early on. play however you wish to, but I'll still just use whatever glitch will help me save time training.

[@ArtisChronicles]

Salkrye they could also get quite difficult. I used to play the crap out of those games. some of the lower level cups we're a true challenge.

[@ranabros9082]

"You'll scare the bugs away" that's so freaking creepy omg

[@chillboiroblox4742]

Theres a 50% of gengar

[@Jagrofes]

For those that are curious, this is a combination of two glitches called “Trainer Fly” and “Experience underflow”, so you can look them up if you wish.

[@polskakrowa1743]

🙏

[@keelin4273]

For everyone who doesn't know, the pokemon you get depends on the special of the pokemon you last battled

[@joebranco2731]

Keelin M so it can be any random one ? How do u know what is the special of pkmn u are battling ?

[@Kwstasoxide]

joe branco you can't know exactly..its the same trick for mew...you just change the last Pokemon you battle...for mew for example I think special must be 21

[@thomaswright6052]

Another example is for nidoking the last Pokemon fought has to have a special of 7

[@braedenandariarepublic7746]

Ok thanks

[@AlwaysEquals50]

Is there a way to do the glitch completely without having them be level 100 to use in normal gameplay?

[@Hyuduro]

​​@@AlwaysEquals50 You can just let them grow to level 2. You can also avoid using Growl 6 times for it to be level 7. Both times, they'll gain EXP normally.

[@kenneypierre8452]

That one moment when you did the glitch right,and when you battle gengar,you crit it

I don't usually like to cheat or use glitches but I LOVE this glitch along with the mew glitch. I'm going to train my gengar from level one

[@nycnow811]

Yeah, Im planning to train it too, cheating always makes the game boring

[@kodiakdaniels9035]

Any lvl 1 pkmn jumps to lvl 100, dummies

[@salkryeful]

Uh yeah, he can make it go to lv 2 instead of 100 right away. Just get 54 exp or more from a battle.

[@amystinsman-butler9042]

Most people call this a glitch, I think it's more of a half-glitch. Going from level 1 to level 100, yeah, that's a glitch. But the gengar itself, along with the Nidoking, the fact that they actually have messages, I don't think the encounters are glitches. I think they're intentional, and are supposed to be little secrets for the player to get. But, it's just my thoughts backed up with some logic. Feel free too agree or disagree.

[@sirlezard670]

@@amystinsman-butler9042 It's a glitch. The game gets confused on memory and does stuff it isn't supposed to do. The text is just the game applying a text from somewhere in the memory. You could get dialog text popping out of nowhere doing nothing for no reason by doing other glitches too. It isn't secrets or easter eggs. It's the dev making mistakes leading to bad behavior of the program.

[@yuarkok6273]

When i do this I get a Nidoking And when I go there it says "Do you happen to have a Pikachu?"

[@johnboygunsling666]

why is this so hard for me?? i've followed the instructions in this video and we've met with gengar and i tried to hurt it but when i attempt to catch it with pokeballs he manage to escape until i've used all 10 pokeballs i have. who do i get gengar like in the video easily.

Thanks for putting this on KZbin it really helped me have some success in the game.

[@bastardmike3052]

this works. i am using my oldschool gameboy color playing it and almost shit my pants when it worked. i was too strong to attack him so i paralyzed him and my last pokeball caught him. he also leveled up straight to 100. amazing.

[@tannerburns9344]

this should work on playr because the mew glitch for red works on playr.

[@swarley65]

So, I continually get the bug catcher when entering the forest. I'm relatively familiar with this leash glitch as I've used this method to fill my pokedex. fulfilling all contingencies for this to work. getting 6x growls in and letting diglet ko pikachu and still get bug catcher.

[@swarley65]

Ok, figured it out. the first bug cather on the right side of the forest has to be defeated first. Same issue will occur throughout the game with other trainers when attempting this glitch, I've noticed.

[@RehuelGalzote]

Wow that Gengar has max stats I think.

[@josephmueller9687]

trying this on the gameboy advance... its been 2 hrs!

Don't worry, it works on GBA, I did it

[@aiarochp]

I got a level 7 gengar. Repeated the glitch a few more times and got a level 7 lickitung and a level 7 execute. But no level 1 pokemon

[@toShaym]

You have to growl 6 times, 1 growl = one level reduce

[@aiarochp]

AAAAAHHHH I just read that I had to defeat the trainer. Never saw anything about growling. I will start a new game and try it out thanks

[@joebranco2731]

Keep in mind if u level it up when only lvl 1 it will go to lvl 100.

Of course it does. The virtual console is an official emulator and the game is just the rom. Nothing was patched and ever will be.

may be you did some 5 growls instead of 6

[@parasitecat3892]

nope, it works perfectly.

[@TylerSteven9]

Isn't it fine because you caught it and it has your OT number? The level thing only counts for "foreign" Pokemon traded from other people and their OT number doesn't match.

[@mrevilducky]

Steven Tyler Exactly right

[@swagtaco9000]

I did everything up to Gengar then ran out of pokeballz

[@kalebb9983]

i did this with a trainer on the mt moon with a spearow my message was Name found a potion . Then I foucht a nidoran female...

[@meggietiffany9124]

Couldn't believe this worked first try omg 🎉🎉🎉 six growls and two tail whips in the gym kid battle like someone else mentioned seems to do the trick nicely as well! My little trickster refused all the poke balls I threw right up until the very last 😂😂 Also got him to level 100 from his first battle! Awesome stuff 😄😁👍

[@Valo915]

You can also get a level 100 Nidoqueen doing a very similar method. With the last trainer in the forest you need to encounter a wild pokémon as you step in front of him triggering a battle before he notices you. Faint to that pokémon and warp back to Veridian City. Then head west and against your rivals Eevee growl six times. When you reenter the forest a similar thing will occur. It's a little more difficult to do. I recommend grinding a caterpie up to Butterfree to gain access to stun spore to make it slightly easier for the encounter as you want less money and more shots limited on pokéballs. Edit- You can get both of them if you are careful around that trainer in this video not to trigger him too early. And it is doable in virtual console on the 3DS.

How tf u catch him so easily. I had em on like 1 hp left and paralyzed. Broke out of 7 poke balls !

[@ipnorospo38]

Hi. In the instructions you forgot to say that you have to use 6x GROWL and 2x TAIL WHIP and then lose against the first gym boy's Diglett. It worked for me ! Thanks !

[@neoanimefreak_7606]

You don't have to use Tail Whip at all, just Growl. What Growl is doing, is lowering the level of the glitched pokemon that you'll be running in to. Hence 6 Growls, which he does in fact say to do. And he also said to lose against the Gym boy.

[@blkmattymatt]

I'm doing the exact same thing and I'm getting a random trainer. Then my game freezes right afterwards. :/

[@andredavis8824]

I'm mad ii just now founding out about this glitch but at the same time ii beat Pokémon yellow a few times when I was 9 year old when this game was out ii couldn't beat brock to save my life

[@voxlegacy1457]

Why did you put ii instead of I

[@KeyTrixxx]

You cant have higher than level 7 pikachu or he will kill Gengar in one attack. You cant catch Gengar unless you weaken him. Lose your battle to Gary at the start, plus run from every pokemon that appears. Only battle the two trainers in Veridian Forest. Also, buy at least 10 poke balls... I dont know how he catches him so easily but it took me about 6-7 to catch him. Hope that helps.

[@AlwaysEquals50]

If you beat Gary beside the Pokemon League before going to Viridian Forest and without catching ANY Pokemon or buying anything beforehand and going back to Prof. Oak, he will give you 5 Pokeballs. Not sure if that'll make a difference though, but now you have 15.

[@XxLiam26xX]

when i did it, it just said "Oh, I see how it is." then a trainer apeared

[@alek.bear.]

I did that and go back,i was able to get at same spot by "changing some actions" Gengar,Exeggute,Exeggutor,Nidoking,Ivysaur,Slowbro and Voltorb. (Lvl1~7) If u capture and REPEAT the Hope at same spot and go back to Gym too,you're able to get another one. I didn't try a third time but i guess that will work too. I get a lot of mesages at that same spot and also no mesage just random enconter too. The same happen in front of PokeCenter using escape rope after enter that last door before the encounter bug. (I came here with some friend's/They are out for POKEMON fights) (ASH is out of useable POKEMON!/ASH blacked out) (I give! You're good at this!) (Hi,do you have a PIKACHU?)

[@JonathanPetrone]

How i have to do to reach that momento of the game with a level 7 pikachu? Happens that I reach that fight with a pikachu in level 10 and gengar finishes fainted

[@jaketheyounggiant]

can I do this again for a different Pokémon besides gengy? like catch gengar and then escape rope again but not fight Brock's youngster?

[@menime9425]

you can. but your money limitation really makes it safe to stick to one. what i did was do the process for nidoking. bought 1 escape rope and the rest on pokeballs. ended uo catching it. saw a tutorialnfor gengar. sold juat enough potions and remaining pokeballs (try to still have some of those) to afford a second escape rope and then do the process with the youngster in the gym. go back to the forest and gengars prompt should be there waiting

I thought this was gonna be some creepypasta bs, but this is cool

[@Shadow99876]

oh ok.

[@xXGhostStalker]

+TRAVIS MIRABILE That remark was a little rude and uncalled for. All he was doing was answering your question

[@goodmanwiseman303]

You can do this 3 times fairly easily before fighting Brock and the trainer in Brock's gym. You'll need 3 escape ropes ($550 each!) though, so you'd have to fight every single trainer except for the long distance trainer, find all 5 of the free potions, and the 1 free pokeball. Then you buy 5 pokeballs, and 2 escape ropes. Then you can do the glitch twice to get your first 2 gengar, and if you get lucky with the diglett battle and especially with catching the gengar, you can sell the rest of your potions and buy a 3rd escape rope and have at least 2 pokeballs and still one potion left. Then you do the glitch again, except you only have 2 pokeballs to throw, so you really have to get lucky. After fighting all the trainers for the money, your pikachu will be level 9, so you can't do a thundershock on the level 1 gengar because it will 1 shot it, but pikachu learns thunder wave at level 8, so you can paralyze it instead to boost your catch chance (at full hp) to about 10.5%.
