The game is filled with Posion-types due to Team Rocket, so Chikorita's performance against normal trainer is actually pretty shoddy.
In theory, yes, against Rockets. However, the Poisons in this game aren't particularly strong enough to do serious damage to the Chikorita line. And Headbutt (later Body Slam) deal with most Poisons save the Koffing line (the Rocket Executive who's impersonating the Radio Tower Director being a prime example of a bad MU)
So far I've found the codes for perfect DVs while also boosting to level 98 + maxed stat exp (which answers my own question from a few days ago), and change DVs to shiny DVs, which could be modified to perfect DVs by altering a few letters (but I don't know how to do it).
Thanks. The first code would be awesome if it didn't level them up to 98. I would prefer a code that simply maxes out the DV's.
I have tried my mad scientist experiment: I managed to trade a Ho-Oh from Pokemon Blue to Silver! Here's some photo proof:
So the jist of what I did was: I used 8f to catch a Missingno. with the same index number as Ho-Oh in GSC. Then I used 8f to change the Missingno.'s typing to Fire / Flying (otherwise Pokemon Silver would reject it). I even used 8f to give it the glitch move equivalent of Sacred Fire (TM21) and to make it shiny!
It worked perfectly. I tried to do the same with Lugia, but since Lugia's Missingno. constantly changes types, Silver rejected it. Still, I got Ho-Oh over, and I taught my old 18 year old Porygon and Scyther from Yellow (another long story, the Yellow on my VC is my original save from when I was a child) Curse via 8f as well!
So yeah, you can break the hell out of gen 2 with the time capsule lol. Funnily enough, my Ho-Oh was holding a Carbos, likely based off of Missingno.s catch rate.
Here's the beauty right here!
Steelix doesnt exist in gen 1 so no

Weird as it sounds, I wonder if you should change the moveset a bit to include Curse and Detect (both GS exclusive moves for Ho-Oh). Reason for that is: Curse maaaay be viable in Ubers, and Detect may be better in certain doubles formats that could allow Ho-Oh in the future (even if VGC doesn't allow Ubers again, Gamefreak often does tournaments of those types for online competitions anyways).Alright Smogon, this is a follow-up post to my post from page 1
I encountered this shiny Ho-Oh after soft-resetting roughly 4000 times over the last 5 days.
As promised, I will dedicate this Ho-Oh to the community by hosting a big Giveaway once transferring it is possible.
I hope you guys and girls are looking forward to it!

[248 HP / 184 Atk / 52 SpD / 26 Spe]I caught this Pokémon with a Master Ball at the peak of the Tin Tower on my Pokémon Gold version for the Virtual Console.
Since ball types are not retained in Generation 1 and 2 games, its ball became a regular Pokéball after transferring it to Generation 7 via Poké Transport.
The Ho-Oh from the Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver, released on the 22nd of September 2017, is the only legal Ho-Oh that can simultaneously be shiny and have its Hidden Ability.
This Pokémon was soft-resetted manually: this means that no tools (such as e.g. PKMN-NTR bots or Lua scripts) or glitches were involved in the hunt for this Pokémon.
The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon are 1/8192 in Generation 2 games.
I started soft-resetting on the 22nd of September 2017 and I finally encountered the shiny Ho-Oh on the 26th of September 2017 after soft-resetting for 5 days.
I referred to this "Exp. PointsNature" table (courtesy of TheMantyke) to assure an Adamant nature for it.

This actually did help since it gave a nice route full of trees and a suggest when to stop headbutting, thank you
Hold Down, Select and B simultaneously at the title screen.
Awesome, thank you. I did read through this thread but obviously missed that ha.
