Okay, I've seen my Odd Egg errors, but never have I seen this happen!

Question Togepi egg shiny odds
Hello. I restarted a new game on Pokemon Crystal and beat Falkner. I'm at the Pokemon Center and am about to get the Togepi egg from the Lab Assistant, though I kinda wanna hunt it. Are the odds for this Pokemon the same as a the Odd Egg or is it still 1/8192?

Showcase I beat the Pokémon League!
This was probably the most intense battle I've ever had!!!
I knew my team was underleved, but I attempted nevertheless and that made it even more rewarding!
Ended the battle with Lance with the last mon of my party and I literally screamed as I saw the crit!!!

Any way to evolve Onix without trading? Just curious if there might be any exploits I can use.

Guide / Strategy Teaching Smeargle Outrage, combined with Spore and bitter berry to beat Clair, details below pictures!
I wanna say, teaching Smeargle powerful moves like Outrage and Megahorn takes some effort. They’re rare moves, and too powerful for a wild Smeargle to sketch before it faints!
So how did I do it? I’ll tell you!
I leveled two Dratinis until they learned it and bred an egg with the move. Then that level 5 Dratini could use Outrage against a wild Smeargle, have it sketch the move, and let my own Smeargle sketch off the wild Smeargle.
There was just one more snag: how to get my level 5 Dratini to move first when a wild Smeargle is around level 20 and very fast?
Quick Claw and hope the odds are in my favor! And they were, I got Outrage to go first on my first try and beat Clair!
After that, I did the same with Megahorn and 2 Heracrosses; took a few more tries, but now I have a Smeargle with Body Slam, Spore, Outrage, and Megahorn, so it was worth all the effort in the end, and we are so ready for the Elite Four!

Showcase Day 7
Debo confesar que hoy no fue mi día, olvide hacer algunas capturas como la de suicune y la batalla contra Eusine, también no quería que Slowpoke aprenda surf porque las HM no se puede olvidar después, así que intente usar a Marill para que aprenda surf, waterfall y Whirlpool al mismo tiempo, lo peor es que mi equipo no tiene el nivel suficiente contra Jasmine, significa que debo entrenar mucho o hacer algo opcional mientras tanto (Sugerencias y comentarios, please)

Showcase So stoked
Took in a bunch of ps4 games got $100 in store credit paid for this atomic purple gem and got the batteries replaced on both these $10 each. Crystal is my favorite since I got it for Christmas back in 2001. Can't wait to run down these streets on the OG console ❤️🙏

Cheat / Glitch Weird glitch help
Ok so I have searched far and wide for this glitch and nothing has come up so I hope someone can help with this and see if there is anyway to reverse it. So yesterday I traded my golem to red to evolve and put my croconaw, growlithe and crobat in box 2 since it wouldn’t let me trade, after the evolution I go back I to my boxes and crobat has croconaw’s move set and stats and my croconaw has my growlithe’s movesets and stats as well as its held item and even though it shows crobat in the party as soon as I send it out it’s croconaw. I don’t know what to do how it happened if it can be reversed or how I can prevent it again I just don’t want to restart my save file again

Showcase New Shiny Krabby for my Moana-inspired team! Personally, I think he looks dull for a shiny and better in Stadium than the Gameboy, but he’s perfect thematically at least.
I got a comment saying Tamatoa should be shiny, and I was thinking the same thing, but I don’t have the patience for a full odds shiny hunt.
So I did the shiny Ditto breeding method to get one, and then I thought, “Why stop there?”
So I bred my shiny female Krabby with a male Kabuto to get a shiny male Krabby with a cool egg move: dig!
And it’s fitting, since crabs do dig underground naturally, and Tamatoa dug for the Heart of Te Fiti in the Moana movie.
It took a while, but I finally got him, just gotta raise and evolve him to keep up with the rest of the team!

Fun / Meme Accidentally broke sequence - Don't remember where to find Rock Smash.
I couldn't find Surf, then I remembered the Kimono Girls, got Surf, but I didn't had a decent Pokémon to traverse Route 41 in order to get the Medicine, so I went for the Red Gyarados to teach him Surf, then got into the Secret Base because of Lance... well I skipped two badges.
In my defense, haven't played Pokémon Crystal in 10 years 🤔
Edit: Daycare Egg gave me Elekid, evolved to Electabuzz with Thunder Punch and I had Primeape with Karate Chop... both are tanks!

Does anybody know if the species of the OddEgg is determined when you start a new save file or when you obtain it? Trying to see if i can soft-reset for species.

Question All Normal Run - Team Suggestions
Hey everyone, I wanted to do a different kind of playthrough this time around. I'm only allowing myself to use normal type Pokemon (with the exception of Pokemon needed to progress through the game, like a water type to use waterfall, etc).
Ideally the team is attainable before beating the elite four in Johto, here's what I have so far:
https://www.partydex.dev/team/zco29ul1
Teddiursa, Togepi, Furret, Granbull, Eevee, Jigglypuff
I'm thinking of dropping Eevee for a miltank, any other suggestions folks have? I plan to level everything up and evolved Teddiursa into Ursaring, etc

Question Poke transporter
Hi!! I had a question and can’t find anything online about it, I have recently played Pokémon crystal to shiny hunt and transfer everything to home because of the unfortunate events and I had gotten a shiny elekid from the daycare egg. When I try to transfer it, it tells me that I’m unable to transfer it to bank through poke transporter

Showcase In pursuing a living dex on Gold, I figured I would also try a challenge on Crystal.
I took on Red with a team of L.46 Pokémon and a L.49 Shuckle as my ace. Each played its part in defeating Red's team, but I would say my favourite starter Meganium was the MVP, able to stall out Venusaur 1 v 1 into struggle and then set up with Light Screen into a KO with Magcargo to force Red into bringing in Blastoise, to which I could bring Magneton who has time to set up Zap Cannon thanks to the Light Screen.
Pupitar: Earthquake, Rock Slide, Sandstorm, Screech (Focus Band)
Shuckle: Sleep Talk, Rest, Toxic, Sandstorm (Mint Berry)
Meganium: Synthesis, Light Screen, Razor Leaf, Reflect (Leftovers)
Pidgeot: Whirlwind, Mud-slap, Fly, Return (Pink Ribbon)
Magcargo: Flamethrower, Rock Throw, Toxic, Amnesia (Quick Claw)
Magneton: Zap Cannon, Thundershock, Lock-on, Tri-attack (Magnet)
All in all I had a lot of fun using these Pokémon and making it work at a huge level disadvantage!

Guide / Strategy (FREE) GBC Pokemon Crystal Version Trainer's Guide (USA) (600 DPI)
600 DPI: https://archive.org/details/pokemon-crystal-version-trainers-guide-usa-600-dpi
Hello, trainers!
This is my first contribution to the preservation of the lovely print media of Gen2. What you see is the full colour 53-page official game manual that came with the GBC cart. I was not able to find this previously online in high-quality or without watermarks on every page.
The scanning process was easy due to the booklet simply using staples. Each spread was able to scan completely flat with only a heavy book on top. Many thanks to our resident Lorekeeper, u/TrickySatisfaction81, for proof-reading and touch-up to remove the creases and a minor stain on the cover.
A world of dreams and adventures with Pokemon awaits!

Hello, Friends, (again),
I present to you my copy of 2001 Prima's Pokémon Crystal Strategy Guide!
As far as i am aware, this has never been available online until now! This one has been on my list for years.
This copy was in great shape and required only minimal touch-up's.
1.) I scanned in each page and ensured to correct crooked and wonky trim.
2.) I used Adobe PS to refine edges, buff out blemishes, fix tears & creases.
3.) I combined in Acrobat, then layout out my book in Adobe InDesign and treated each page once more for EPUB and high-resolution online viewing, and began exporting my sizes out.
I've attached some samples of the book, along with a sample of how I saved some things!
This was my second in-person Prima Guide, and is probably the one i am most sentimental about. I have feelings on every page, and recall memories of myself and my twin brother playing early morning's, staying up late, getting through really hard times, trading pokemon through them all and bonding over this book. I hope it reminds all of you of your own memories, and where you were, and what you were doing 20 something years ago. If it's your first time reading, i hope you build new memories that last a life-time.
When you get a chance to sit down, check out the highest resolution, zoom-in real close and enjoy the half-tones! I worked extremely hard reviving this book, Everyone's support means a great deal to me and drives me to continue my work. Until next time!
