===============================
Q: You FAQ is missing _______
A: You can send it to me using the "Contact Me" information below, just
make sure that I can interpret what the email is about by the subject
or it may be deleted right away as I get a lot of spam and if your
email is just "Hi" with an unknown address I may delete it thinking
it's spam. I will appreciate any assistance though.
Q: How many Pokemon are recruitable in this game?
A: All 386 are implemented and recruitable, along with hints to other
Pokemon not included (such as Munchlax and Lucario).
Q: My Pokemon is XX level why can't I evolve yet?
A: You may evolve after the main storyline is over inside of a cave
that opens in town. You may only bring 1 Pokemon into the cave at a
time. Do a ctrl+F "Luminous Cave" for more details.
If I get anymore emails asking how to evolve I will not reply as
it's clearly stated multiple times in this FAQ/Walkthrough how to,
and it shows me you put no effort forward to look for the answer
yourself before emailing me.
Q: How do I change my leader?
A: You must first go to the Friend Area of the Pokemon you want to make
leader, then choose Join Team, then Make Leader. This Pokemon is now
your leader and your previous leader is still in your party.
Q: Why won't XX event start for me, even though according to your guide it
should have started.
A: Make sure you have completed any previous events as you may not be able
to be working on multiple events at once (Example: Complete the feather
to meet the mirage Pokemon, and Unlocking Silver Trench).
Q: Where is a great place to get Gummies?
A: Uproar forest if you aren't looking for any in particular, bring some
X-Ray Specs so you can find them easier on each floor, it nets the
most (Grass/Green Gummies).
Q: Why can't I catch XX Pokemon?
A: First goto Wigglytuff and make sure you have that Pokemon's Friend
Area unlocked, once you have that you have to realize some Pokemon
have very very low chances, even in the negatives to be recruited.
To counter this you will need a high leader level, high team rank,
Friend Bow equipped and have your leader deliver the killing blow.
Q: Why is it when I go back to capture a legendary bird, Groudon or
Rayquaza I cannot reach them?
A: You must not be attempting to complete a mission or the dungeon will
end right at the "Save Point" area and you will not have access to
that dungeons "Peak".
Q: Pokemon X has a 100% recruit chance yet I can't recruit him, why?
A: This means either your party is too big (some legendaries are 4 body
size so you can only bring up to 2 body size with you) or your team
leader did not get the final blow on the Pokemon. Also the Pokemon
you are trying to catch needs to be adjacent to you.
Q: I just evolved my Pokemon and he didn't have the option of learning
any moves his evolved form should have learned on this level or on
previous levels, why?
A: Gulpin is the man, at the end of my Game Basics, I tried to give a
quick overview of what Gulpin's shop can do for you, and my favorite
option is the "Remember" option. Unlike linking Remember is completely
free of charge, and allows you to re-learn any move that your pokmeon
has already learned or should have already learned. Good example is
evolving Charmander to Charizard, Charizard should have learned Heat
Wave on lvl 1, but as you are most likely above lvl 36 it's not really
an option. But, what you can do, is go to Gulpin and choose to relearn
Heat Wave for another ability (lets say Scratch). Let's say you
don't like Heat Wave and want Scratch back, you can just head right
back to Gulpin's shop and Remember Scratch for free again, make sure
to experiment with movesets as changing them around is completely free.
Q: Where do I get HM ____?
A: Dive - Whiscash gives it to you, if you lose it then Solar Cave 10th
Floor, requires a Key
Waterfall - Solar Cave 15th Floor, requires a Key
Surf - Solar Cave 20th Floor, requires ability to cross water
Fly - Wyvern Hill 30th Floor, requires a Key
Rock Smash - Buried Relic 45th Floor, requires a Key
Strength - Buried Relic 60th Floor, requires Rock Smash (ability)
Flash - Buried Relic 70th Floor, requires a Key
Cut - Buried Relic 80th Floor, requires a Key, ability to cross water
and Rock Smash
Q: Where do I get keys to get the HMs?
A: Keys are located in Solar Cave, Desert Region and Western Cave
Q: If I lost HM ___ from dying, can I get a new one?
A: Yes, you can retrieve the new HM from the exact spot you found the
old one. The only exception to this is HM Dive, as the first one
you get is from Whiscash, but subsequent Dives will be found on the
10th Floor of Solar Cave.
Q: Where do I get XX Evolution item (Stones included)?
A: Sun Stone and Moon Stone are both found in Solar Cave on Floors 1,
10, and 16 (for both stones)
Water Stone on the 29th Floor of Northwind Field
Thunder Stone on the 29th Floor of Lightning Field
Fire Stone on the 29th Floor of Fiery Field
Leaf Stone, King's Rock and Up-Grade can only be found in Wish Cave
Shops and then only on specific Floors.
Deepseascale and Deepseatooth are both found in Grand Sea on Floors 15
(for scale) and 25 (for tooth)
Beauty Scarf is found on the 59th Floor of Western Cave, requires a Key
Dragonscale is on the 29th Floor of Wvyern Hill
Link Cables are easiest found in Solar Cave behind the locked doors as
long as you already have the HM's they contain
Lunar Ribbon is on the 20th Floor of Northwind Field
Sun Ribbon is on the 20th Floor of Wyvern Hill
Metal Coat is on the 49th and 50th Floors of Southern Cavern
Q: Where is the fastest place to level up?
A: Fastest place to level up that I have seen is either the popular 1-room
Monster Houses of Lugia's Silver Trench or spending some time on
Floors 40-60 and 89-98 in Western Cave where most enemies (Skarmory,
Absol, Tyranitar, Alakazam, Charizard, Blastoise) all give over 1000
experience each when killed by a move, and if you manage to get a monster
house of them you are looking at upwards of 5000-6000 experience from
just that room. If you manage to nab yourself a Tight Belt you can
spend a lot more time on these floors just farming the experience.
Submitted by Sixftdwarf:
Just wanted to let you know I found a neat little trick. If you use a
One Room Orb on a floor with a monster house, the whole floor becomes
a monster house. A useful trick if you're trying to level, but not as
useful if you're barely surviving, like I was at the time I discovered
this.
Q: Where do I get the Friend Bow?
A: The easiest place to get it, in my opinion, is bringing a key to Mt.
Faraway on the 30th Floor, you can also get them from Kecleon shops
in Joyous Tower. The Friend Bow increases your chance to recruit a
Pokemon by 10% when equipped.
Q: Where do I get the Tight Belt?
A: The Tight Belt is a very rare item that can only be found in a few
specific spots. It can appear randomly on Floors 1-5 and 51-54 of
Far-off Sea, but the chances are low, Floors 1, 4, 20, 21, 50 and 60
of Purity Forest and Floors 1-4 of Marvelous Sea. It can also be found
in Purity Forest shops and as a Buried item in Far-Off Sea.
Q: What are Buried Items?
A: Buried items may only be found by smashing walls with Rock Smash or
having a Pokemon with the ability Pickup along, he will have a chance
of picking up a Buried item every level. Also a Ghost Pokemon while
traveling through walls can pickup Buried items. Personally, I've had
a very hard time getting Buried Items, hopefully you have better luck.
--Submitted by OmegaDestroyer
-I had a Swampert equipped with a Mobility/Mobile Scarf, and he walked
over a part of a wall and found a (TM) Giga Drain hidden in the wall, so
I was thinking Ghost-type Pokemon as well as Pokemon using the Mobile
Scarf may be able to simply walk over a buried item in a wall to pick it
up.
I'd also note that Ghost/Mobile are a more efficient way of getting to
the items that need Rock Smash, such as the HMs in Buried Relic.
--Some more notes on Buried Items
On average I would say there are 3-6 items per floor with 4-5 being the norm,
don't stop looking after only 3 items.
The Pickup ability is not required as Linone does not seem to find any
uniquely buried items upon entering a new floor, but from what I have heard
he can.
When breaking the walls, have both of your Pokemon mobile, breaking them 2
at a time is much more efficient.
An item will eventually appear and you can interact with the item as you see
fit (picking it up, using it, throwing it, etc.)
After knowing all of this, just systematically remove all the walls on every
level (this will not work on boss levels such as the Regi's) and reap the
rewards.
Q: Where is Mew?
A: Mew appears in Buried Relic between 36th Floor and 99th Floor as long
as you carry the Music Box in your Toolbox (Do not Use it, just have
it with you). He may appear more than once between those floors, but
he can only appear when you reach the floor (he will be one of the
original red dots and cannot come in if you wait). Sometimes he will
use Transform and you will see "Mew used Transform" at the bottom
which is an easy tipoff he is on this floor, but he will not always
use it and his recruit chance is low so let the hunting begin!
Q: Where did Skarmory go? He disappeared from Mt. Steel.
A: Skarmory can only be caught in Wish Cave (Floor 35+) or Western Cave,
(Floor 40-49)so you probably will not have a Skarmory of your own
for quite awhile.
Q: Why can't I catch the legendary birds?
A: They can only be caught after the main storyline is over, they also
have a body size of 4, so make sure not to bring more than 2 body
size with you. Finally, they do not have 100% recruit chance so be
prepared to spend a little while trying to catch all 3.
Q: What happens when you spend a very long time on a specific floor?
A: There is actually a system built in, that there is a limited number
of turns you can spend on a single dungeon floor. If you are
approaching that number, you will see messages about a wind blowing
or a mysterious Pokemon. If you see those messages it's a hint to
find the stairs asap, as if you stay on a floor for the maximum amount
of turns you will be blown out of the dungeon (same circumstances as
if you had died, losing items, etc.). This applies to every dungeon
so don't loiter around too long.
Q: What is the best Pokemon to bring into a level 1 dungeon?
A: It all comes down to personal preference, I would personally recommend
Charizard (it may not level super fast, but it doesn't level as slow
as others like Blastoise). His 4 level 1 abilities including Heat
Wave are very useful and his stats are fantastic.
If you have a personal preference you can e-mail me about it and I'll
post your preference and why as long as it's valid reasoning.
Q: Why can't I catch a Kecleon?
A: First since his base recruit chance is -33.9% you must be lvl 90+ with
Friend Bow equipped to get the maximum 34% boost bringing your recruit
chance up to 0.1% or 1 in 1000. The Kecleons are lvl 90 and can have
any of their possible power-up moves. Another note is they move
twice for every one of your turns, so if they can reach you in a
single turn, they can also attack you.
You will want to come very prepared for this, bringing at least 10
Reviver Seeds, an Escape Orb, Friend Bow, X-Ray Specs and maybe some
Oran Berries. You will also want to come alone as your partners will
just waste Reviver Seeds, and your leader needs to get the final blow
to recruit one anyway. Silver Thorns are a great way to damage them
if they are standing far away, so you can also bring some of those.
To engage the Kecleons you must first steal from their shop. Before
you attempt this make sure you know where the stairs are as you will
want to make a break for them once you finally do catch a Kecleon
(Escape Orbs are disabled on the floor you are fighting Kecleons).
Once engaged, Kecleons will continue to spawn for eternity coming to
fight. Since the recruit chance is 1 in 1000 be prepared to spend
awhile attempting this, use the X-Ray Specs to find their shops on
each floor.
Note: If the Kecleons turn you into a decoy (by using Substitute) you
can still attack and recruit them, but they will completely
ignore you until it wears off.

and Fantasy Strait, also what is so special about them?

The sad thing is, they aren't really all that special, they have no new
Pokemon, but they are fun to venture through. I've also noted that they
seem to have high appearance rates for some of the rarer items in the game.
That in itself is worth your time to explore them.
Note: These dungeons have between 15-25 Floors each, so they are not too
you do elite 4 then go to safron sity an go to the Pokemon center and heal your Pokemon
That isn't Pokemon blue rescue team!You've got to beat rayquaza to "finish" the game then go back to whatever cave like mt. thunder for zapdos. Then beat him a couple of times and he should join your team.(it automatically gives you legendary island when you recruit him).Hope it helps.
some likemesprit or dialga that were in the storyline will join your team if you go to where you fought them the first time. just fight them again at that place.
other legendary Pokemon will be at multiple places and can fought in many dungeons.
for example: lugia
1. go to surrounded sea.
2. have the mystery part or secret slab with you.
3. go to 16th floor (i think this is the one) and look throughout the floor lugia should have his name on the recruitment list and will be on the floor.
4. fight him.
5. if you kill him and he doesn't join you he isn't dead forever just come back and try again.
Go over there and they will give you a special stone that can give you access to the Silver Trench. This can only be accessible by using a Pokemon other than the Legendary Island ones.
you have to return fight them after story mode and they will join your team whit a new island for them
you can find the answers at serebii.net

i dono how to get celebi
It is impossible to find a thunderstone in Pokemon blue rescue team. There is not one. I've searched everywhere. If I had not known that there was not one, I'd check Thunderwave Cave.
then all your Pokemon will die
in many dungeons there are lots of items, the blue gummies are everywhere
