Pokémon: Crystal Version - Battle Tower Level 100 (Legendary Pokémon)

There's nothing scientific about this run. It's just pure offense. The Pokemon that I am using do not have perfect stats, IV's or DV's but their stats have been completely maxed out through the use of Vitamins & Stat Experience training (EV training) The Mewtwo that I am using does have the perfect 318 max attack but other than that, they all have the maximum, non perfect possible stats for the IV's and DV's that the game has given them.
Items:
.Ho-Oh: Leftovers
.Mewtwo: Bright Powder
.Lugia: Scope Lens

I guess EV items were fairly helpful back then. Not much else they could've given you aside from rare Pokémon or a Master Ball.

[@R-1988]

You can buy those same items you win at the Battle Tower in the Goldenrod City store. It's the standard Vitamin. The Amulet Coin was introduced in Generration2 so money is longer an issue and you can easily buy those vitamins in bulk.

[@nick56677]

Those Kingdra's are tanks in Gen 2 with no true super effective weakness except for Dragon type attacks but in Gen 2 there was no threat from dragon type attacks because they were all weak anyways

[@R-1988]

Except for the move "Outrage" but all Dragon type moves were special in Gen 1, 2 and 3. Dragonite for example, had a much higher attack than special attack, making the move a little less effective.

[@michaelweiskopf7771]

Ice types are strong against dragon type Pokémon

[@nick56677]

@michaelweiskopf7771 Kingdra was dual Dragon/Water. Ice attacks weren't super effective against Kingdra. The water typing balanced ice attacks to a standard 1x attack

[@jackmclaughlin9401]

Is there any way to train stat exp that doesn’t involve grinding through the elite four hundreds of times?

[@R-1988]

Someone asked this question in the level 100 battle tower video. Scroll down the comments section of that video to find it. In a nutshell, yes but it still requires a lot of grinding. Hundreds, if you will. There's no shortcut to get maxed out stats. You have to grind.

[@essex_120_union9]

There’s the simple trick known as *”The Unown Grinding”* it requires you to KO lots of Unowns in the Ruins which you can do earlier to raise your Stat Experience steadily since you only kill Unowns repeatedly without random encounters. Unowns tend to give out: HP Exp: 48 Attack Exp: 72 Defense Exp: 48 Special Attack Exp: 72 Special Defense Exp: 48 Speed Exp: 48 The maximum Stat Experience cap is 65500 for each Stats for the Pokémon you’re trying to train to maximize his/her proficiency to be battle ready and see the hard work you put into the Pokémon. I surely will tell you though that this is easier to speed up time and resources than wasting 10 minutes of dialog at the Elite Four every time you do it, *but I do highly suggest you get in contact with the Pokerus so that you can cut down your grinding to merely 5 or 6 hours which equals 1,500 or 2,100 Unowns to kill since the virus doubles your Stat Experience for example the Attack Exp will gain 96 points rather than 48 points.* Doing this requires a lot of patience but you sure will with luck might find a Shiny Unown if you keep grinding there. I hope this helps.

[@R-1988]

@@essex_120_union9This same trick can be done with Ditto and is easier with Ditto since all of Ditto's stats are even, meaning Ditto will add the same amount of Stat EXP for all stats. Using Vitamins reduces the number of battles but it's still a grind. The problem with Unown is that not all of it's stats are even so more grinding must be done to fill in the remaining gaps in the Stats. I always did this against wild Ditto as it's "less" tedious. Even Stat EXP means that it can be done without Poke R Us which is rare and not worth it because it makes it more tedious because of the added work in finding Poke R Us. You can encounter wild Ditto's at night in the Grassy area before Goldenrod City near the Day Care. Thank you for your insightful explination of the Unown trick and for helping the original poster. These comments are welcomed and highly encouraged around these parts.

[@jackmclaughlin9401]

Sentinel (Gaming) Hey thanks for the replies. I just have a couple more questions. I looked at the base stats of ditto and unown and while ditto has even stats of 48 across the board, Unown has 48 in most stats and 72 in others. Would it not just be better to train stat exp from unown? Ditto has only a 4-5% encounter rate while unown has a 100% encounter rate where it is found. Even though Unown’s base stats aren’t all 48 it would still be the same amount of battles to max out experience for all stats. Is there something I’m missing here or is it just better to train off of unowns? My second question is, if I have one Pokemon fighting in battle and one holding and exp. share would both earn equal stat exp? It would be great to be able to train 2 Pokemon at once.

[@robmalcolm8042]

What sucks is how weak the elite is in gen 2. It's not like gen 4 where they get stronger after you first beat them. Gen 2 probably is the longest and hardest games to get to level 100. And even tho gen 2 and gen 4 both are slow as hell in frame rate at least gen 4 compensates with stronger leagues (diamond and pearl tho are really slow too)

[@pokemon4thgeneration389]

Nice 👌

[@EternalxFrost]

Wasn't Mewtwo unobtainable in Crystal due to the removal of Cerulean Cave, and Ho-Oh not having Sacred Fire / Lugia not having Aeroblast when caught at lvl 60 ?

[@SecondMizukage2]

In Gen II, Mewtwo (and all legendaries from Gen I) is obtainable via Time Capsule. Ho-Oh and Lugia with their signature moves in Crystal are only possible via trade from Gold and Silver, respectively.

[@LITTLE1994]

You can have Mewtwo by trading from your Gen 1 games.

[@HandrollBelico]

Es muy facil usar gameshark en pokemon 2nd gen, algunos jugadores buscamos muchos pokemon lvl 100 para usarlos en torre batalla

[@MicaelAlighieri]

You can still get Sacred Fire and Aeroblast if you get the special prize from Pokémon Stadium 2, which is the ability to remember a move. However, you'd either need to play in real hardware or configure an emulator compatible with Transfer Pak, which is time consuming, you'd get the same result modifying the save file.

How can you tell if Mewtwo reached the perfect StatExperience? I just arrived at Lvl.100, he has like 380HP. Thanks

[@R-1988]

Very late on this, so apologies. The official handbook that I still own for generation 2 has Mewtwo's max out HP stat at 418, if the IV's are also perfect.

@@R-1988 Thanks!

[@ApolloniosPergaios]

You can continue expirience up your pokemons.. if you for example in pokemon league and kill the most pokemons with your mew2, (or if you can kil all of them with only mew2), then if you deposit your mew2 at pc and withdraw it back, you will see its stats inncrease.

[@litfedeba]

how did you manage them so well with EV and Iv?

[@R-1988]

My Pokémon or the one's in the battle tower? My Pokémon have EV's through vitamins and Stat Experience training. They don't have DV's (IV's from Gen 3 onwards) because there's no way to determine or see them in Gen 2 and it requires a lot of breeding.

[@litfedeba]

@@R-1988 the ev's are 510?

[@R-1988]

@@litfedeba This is Generation 2. All Stats can be maxed out here. The same applies for Gen 1. There is no 510 limit. That started in Gen 3. You are referring to EV training. In Gen 2 and 1, it was called Stat Experience. They are both different but similar since they change the stats of a Pokemon. The stats here are maxed out but not perfect since the DV's aren't perfect. DV's stands for Determinant Values. IV's stands for Individual Values. They are the same thing just with a different name. DV's was used in Gen 1 and 2 whie IV's was used since Gen 3 and onwards.

@@R-1988 thank you. so can i maximize all the stats and with which pokemon? Speed, for example, with Pidgey?

Tbf Pokémon natures weren’t a thing back then, also and maybe even more importantly EV training was extremely hard to do back then so no one really did it (correctly). Even with its high stats it’s still unable to one shot quite a few Pokemon back then..

[@carlossongie4717]

I know what are IVs and EVs . But what are DVs?

[@R-1988]

DV's stands for "determinant values" and are the same as IV's today. Determinant Values was the name used in Generations 1 & 2. The name "Individual Values" and IV's was introduced in Generation 3. They're the same thing just with different names. They both determine if a Pokemon will have perfect stats and in the case of Generation 2 and onwards, what kind of type Hidden Power will be.

That applies to generation 3. In generation 2, all legendaries are legal starting at level 70. There's 10 towers in generation 2 instead of 2 that generation 3 had and none of the 10 towers are easy, unlike generation 3 where the AI is dumb for most of the time
