[@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.

[@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

[@sirlezard670]

@@joebranco2731 The trainer's Pokémon stats are set in stone. The random encounter ones are not.

no like seriously I spent a good solid hour trying to set this up only to crit him, and what that gengar will never know is that crit hurt me more than it did him...

[@MajoraRocketLeague]

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.

[@GamersXnostalgia]

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

[@vimventuranza206]

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.

[@kevincubas9164]

I did it several times and got gengar once but couldn't catch him and the other times kept getting a trainer out of nowhere

[@cherishyui]

Thanks alot mate! Now I have a smooth trip around Kanto now...

[@alecalb2749]

Omg your the best thank you so much

[@LM-vt9xl]

When i fought him the first thing that came up before the battle that was text saying"I brought some friends here they are in pokemon fights" then it start it

[@YoshiIsCool1]

I see

[@VersusTim]

I forgot to fight the first trainer mentioned and did this stuff..when i entered the forrest i did not encounter a wild genger, but a wild trainer who fought me. after i beat him the game froze and all sounds the game has started playing after i pressed down

[@lostwoods3569]

+Tim L. happens to me too anyone know whats wrong?

[@ValS1312]

You have to fight the first trainer or the glitch won’t work

[@prismaticat]

why do you need to fight that trainer though?

[@gabecruz1045]

​@@ValS1312i fought him and i still got the bug catcher.

[@AshuraKamiya]

Thank you so much!

[@WickerDruid11135]

Still works and was able to get my favorite Pokemon! (3DS Pokemon Yellow from the store, btw.)

[@sirlezard670]

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.

[@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.

[@michaelt2779]

thanks man now i just need to get to misty for my mew :D

[@christianmarrufo7932]

Cool and thank you

[@RehuelGalzote]

Wow that Gengar has max stats I think.

[@tannerburns9344]

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

[@tomnook9768]

After you battle the first trainer you're supposed to battle for this glitch can you battle any other trainers?

[@lucasseefeldt4347]

I killed it

[@adrianbatsberg2612]

This video was veryusefull i now have a glitch team lvl 100 mew, lvl 100 gengar and lvl 100 gengar

[@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.

[@AceDefective3]

WORKED 1ST TRY. THXXXX!!!

[@SallyMcSusan]

HEHHEHHEHEHE Took me restarting 5 times to get him.

[@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 😄😁👍

[@krisdavies8548]

just done it worked brilliantly cheers

[@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.

Awesome

[@villeboytranalv8630]

You are best ever

[@ceodesentarse5105]

This works if you've already catched the Nidoking?

[@mollyfarton129]

I think it’s only 5 growls if you want a lvl 2 so you can actually level it up and put some work into it.

[@brent1409]

diglett got 5 crits in a row on me before i got the 6th growl lol

[@braxtoncomix]

What if I have multiple Pokemon on my team when I go to Brock's gym?

[@ind.trollcanalsecundario3621]

F- YEAH! NOW IL BEAT THE GAME!

[@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.

[@letsplay2dsgaming134]

i just bought this game on my 2DS but now that i have just beaten that trainer i will need to start over again

[@Zosh_]

My pikachu is level 10. How can I hit gengar without killing him? Gust and scratch does nothing. Which pokemon could hit it?

[@swagtaco9000]

I did everything up to Gengar then ran out of pokeballz

[@peytonbrush2317]

When I tried the glint right after I had lost to the diglett my game just glitched out

[@Ramboheebo]

Oh, i finally got this working but i ran out of pokeballs i had 6x but any of those didn't catch and a little tip, your pikachu should lvl 7 when fighting Gengar cause lvl 8 your pika will faint the gengar and lvl 6 it doesn't do that much dmg than the lvl 7

[@JustinAlexander96]

if you want gengar to be level 2 at the end of the battle then yes just get more than 55exp

[@JohnCarter-xd2os]

that is a very cool glitch if that is one

[@ianfinrir8724]

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

[@allhailme8457]

Can this glitch be done over again on the same trainer?

[@noyukikun]

:| well screw you pikachu :| looks like lvl 11 is to strong for a lv 1 gengar wtf

[@drawingwithboba8481]

Just stock up on pokeballs

[@rylandtappe-inglis6325]

+noyukikun lulz! do overs! ;)

[@Kaiidox]

haha i did the same

[@rylandtappe-inglis6325]

The beauty of using an emulator (even if you have a perfectly good cart) is the almighty "Save State" XD Just rewind and try again lol.

[@JoseMartinez-zt3vp]

noyukikun mine was level 8 and it killed it

[@dankoons345]

The trainer just pops up instead of gengar is there something I'm doing wrong can someone help

[@pixelpeekerpolka5068]

Every time I soft reset even when I do do it correctly it just puts me in a normal wild encounter with a caterpie

[@pixelpeekerpolka5068]

Holy fuck I finally encountered the gengar then I FUCKING CRIT IT

[@iansmith6767]

What happens if you win a battle that gives it more than 55 xp does it level up to 2 or something else

[@luxyn528]

Its a pretty scary glitch actually. Gengar might even be refering to bugs as the bug itself that let you catch it.

[@justinhoward69]

So can you beat the guy at Brocks gym or do you have to intentionally loose

[@leo13246]

Hey Gengar: DONT SCARE THE BUGS U ARE SO FINISHED UR DEAD JUST LEVEL ME ONE LEVEL AND I SHALL SHOW YOU

[@XxLiam26xX]

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

[@andriusvacsila6786]

WHY. WHY. DID I MAKE PIKACHU SO DAMN POWERFUL

[@gugg2216]

Does the encounter at trainer method work too?

[@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.

[@GamersXnostalgia]

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.

[@ComputerTechnic217]

I got a lickitung. ._.

[@sonicexe2142]

if you do the glitch with some mistake or diferent thing others pokemon can come and... shh, you will scare the bugs

[@contraryknight572]

me too

[@maynorvelasquez3099]

may be you did some 5 growls instead of 6

[@Classistryker]

No, that only affect the level

[@frugelberg3816]

I beat the trainer in the gym, does that have anything to do with catching lickitung

[@RafaelPereira-dc9ir]

[@fiendclub138]

can you do this after you beat brock as well? i just got my 7th badge and only just came across this …

[@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...

[@tonymartindelcampo3151]

Won't Gengar disobey though?

[@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

[@blkmattymatt]

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

[@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?)

[@smev3]

So it has to be paralyzed? If not it breaks out first shake everytime!

[@iposteverythung3720]

Went from Gengar to Neggar.

[@ryclooney8683]

Not that it manes any difference but....bug catchers caterpie was lvl 10 when i fought him...that shouldn't change tho, right?

[@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

[@matthewgregory369]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nero431]

Will this method also work with red and blue?

[@gronkeydonkey543]

It works thx

[@RamOneMusik]

what about if i catch a Gengar in level 7 it will result?

[@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.

[@tylergorniak14]

I used growl twice and still got Gengar.. But great Gitch. xD I deleted my mini life for this. cx

[@nikminnet2768]

growl only affects the level of the gengar, so it would've been lv. 5 instead of lv. 1

[@YoshiIsCool1]

So Escape Rope In The Forest Level & Then Use an Escape Rope Just Before Battling A Trainer. And Then Go Back And there should be a Gengar ?

[@IAmCLG]

hmmm... get ANY Pokémon & level up to 100. and Zordon says "Ash, Giovanni's escaped. recruit a team of Missingnos with glitching"
