2nd Gen How do you do the box cloning trick and does it work in crystal?

I dont think it works on Crystal. And me I would not try it (I done had my game messed up one time when it was saving so im not going to try it).
 
Well, it's pretty risky, but I know that it works in my Silver version so...

1. Have the Pokemon you want cloned in your team, and access Bill's PC.
2. Change to a different box (thus causing the game to be saved).
3. Deposit the Pokemon in that box.
4. Change to a different box, and when it's saving, right after the word "POWER" in "SAVING GAME DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER" comes up, shut off your Game Boy.
5. Turn on your Game Boy. You should have the Pokemon in your team, and a clone of it in the box.

Good luck! I dunno if it works with Crystal, though.
(Oh yeah, and you can multiply items this way also. Just make the Pokemon hold the item.)
 
It does work on crystal! i just cloned my lugia!
 
That's strange, it doesn't work on my Crystal. :paranoid:
 
It does NOT work on Crystal.
 
it does so work on crystal!!! i cloned my lugia and my dratini!
 
maybe you are not doing it right! follow her directions exactly!
 
I tried, and it didn't work. But on Gold/Silver it definitely does. Did you know that you could attach an item along with the clonee and clone the item with the Pokemon? It's so nifty! :cheeky:
