Pokémon Emerald

Pokémon Emerald doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.

1. Mudkip is the easy-mode pick, because Marshtomp's Ground typing walls Wattson and many later fights.
2. Use the PokéNav's Match Call to rematch Gym Leaders and trainers for good experience and money.
3. Feebas only appears on six random fishing tiles along Route 119; fish every water tile with an Old Rod until it bites.
4. Bring Water or Ground moves for Flannery's Fire Gym and Electric resistance for Wattson.
5. The Battle Frontier uses level-50 or open-level rules, so build a separate team for it rather than using your story squad.
6. Some trainers appear in pairs and force double battles, so lead with Pokémon that have spread moves like Surf.
