How to Get Level 100 Pokémon in Pokémon Red

Last Updated: July 2, 2020

Trying to train Pokémon to level 100 can be very tedious, especially in Pokémon Red. It may seem like there are few ways to train your Pokémon but, in fact there are many ways to get a Pokémon to level 100. Read on to find out how.

Steps

1
Teach your Pokémon powerful moves with TMs if its moves are not desirable. This will make training easier. Make sure that the moves enough PP (aim for 25+ among all offence moves), at least while you train.
2
Battle Pokémon that your Pokémon is super effective against. This will make winning battles faster. Aim for Pokémon that are slightly higher levels than your Pokémon.

3
Use an Exp. All and use a more powerful Pokémon to battle even stronger Pokémon. Keep only the battling Pokémon and the one you are training on your team, so as to not waste exp. points on Pokémon that don't need training.
4
Re-battle the Pokémon League when your Pokémon gets powerful enough to. This will gives lots of experience. For a change of pace, you may want to try training in Cerulean Cave (a.k.a. the 'Unknown Dungeon').

Question

Why is MISSINGNO in Pokemon?

Joshua

Community Answer

It wasn't intended to be in there. MISSINGNO exists because the game doesn't know which Pokemon to choose when you encounter one, so it randomly sends out a Pokemon that doesn't exist, called MISSINGNO.

It's a 1/8192 chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon. It's all up to Lady Luck whether you find one or not.

Every glitch Pokémon has its own effect and some can have disastrous consequences.

Upon seeing MissingNo. your 'Hall of Fame' listing, viewable in PCs, will become corrupt.

If you use a cheating or glitch method, many people will not want to battle or trade with you.

Not all people can get MissingNo. or over level 100 Pokémon to appear, but most people can. It depends on the name you chose for your player at the start of the game.
