Pokemon Stadium

Amnesia Psyduck
Get all 151 Pok?mon in the hall of fame.

Surfing Pikachu
Successfully complete the game.

Surfing Pikachu
Successfully complete the game to unlock Surf for Pikachu. To teach your Pikachu Surf, unlock Round 2. Then, get up to the Masterball setting on either the Pok? Cup or Prime Cup (in Round 2). Complete the Masterball setting with Pikachu as one of your active Pok?mon each round (he must be one of the three you choose to battle with). If you lose, you cannot continue (it must be a pure win and the Pikachu may not be part of a registered team or a "Rental"). If you succeed, the game will congratulate you and ask if you would like to replace one of Pikachu's moves with Surf. Select "Yes", then choose the move to be forgotten. The Pikachu will now pull out a surfboard and ride the wave whenever Surf is used.

Talking Pikachu
Upload Pikachu from the yellow version of the game to Pok?mon Stadium. When battling, Pikachu will say its name and have different motions for certain moves. Note: You must go to battle for this to work. Do not register Pikachu.

Surfing Raichu
Get a Raichu that knows SURF (as seen by Surge's Raichu). It will put its tail under itself and use it as a surfboard.

Mew
Mew will become playable, as a "Rental" Pok?mon, in the Round 2 version of the game. He can only be played in the Prime Cup tournament, Gym Leader Castle, Free Battle, and Mewtwo Battle modes.

Mew in Prime Cup
This trick requires a Game Boy Game Shark and Pok?mon Yellow. First start the game and enable the Game Shark code to catch Mew. Put it first in your line-up, then save the game. Go to the Game Shark screen and enable the code for the first Pok?mon in your line-up to be any desired Pok?mon. Check your stats and it should display your selected Pok?mon's picture, but with Mew's name and information. Save the game. Place the game in the transfer pak and go to the Pok?mon Stadium building. When prompted to select Pok?mon, choose the one that was Mew. When you start the match, the Pok?mon will be Mew.

Mewtwo Battle
Successfully complete all Cups in Stadium mode, and defeat all opponents in the Gym Leader Castle. Mewtwo is the last opponent you will face in both Round 1 and Round 2 versions of the game.

Round 2
Successfully complete the game to unlock a much harder version of the Stadium, Gym Leader Castle, and Mewtwo Battle modes.

Kids Club Hyper mode
In one player mode with three CPU controlled opponents, successfully complete "Who's the best?" five consecutive times on the hard difficulty setting within one match. Hyper will be unlocked as a new difficulty setting for CPU controlled players.

Alternate Pok?mon colors
Pok?mon that you upload from the Game Boy version can have alternate colors. Giving your Pok?mon various nicknames will change their colors. Switch syllables, such as calling a "Mewtwo" to "Twomew" (blue color). Separate the syllables with a hyphen, such as "Mewtwo" to "Mew-two". Also try naming the Pok?mon in all lower-case characters. To find out more methods, note the color of the opposing Pok?mon and look at their nicknames.

Alternate title screen
Successfully complete Gym Leader Castle and Stadium modes. Then, Pikachu, Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur and Mewtwo will appear on the title screen.

Play Pok?mon faster
Successfully complete the entire Pok? Cup to get a sticker on the GB Tower. This will allow you play Pok?mon on the Nintendo 64 twice as fast. If you beat the Masterball in the Prime Cup, a "Superfast" setting will be unlocked in the GB Tower. The title will change to "Doduo GB Tower". Press C-Left to activate it.

Get Pok?mon presents faster
Successfully complete the Gym Leader Castle. Then when you want to complete it again, go to the Gym Leader Castle, go directly to the Elite 4, and defeat your rival.

Bonus stickers
Successfully complete R-1 mode, defeat Mewtwo, complete R-2 mode, and defeat Mewtwo again. Enter the gallery screen, then hold L + R and highlight the "Print" option. Keep holding the buttons until "Print" changes to "Bonus" to access sixteen more stickers.

Start with all three beginning Pok?mon
When you start a new game, you can start with all three beginning Pok?mon by starting over and choosing one of them in the Game Boy Pok?mon game. Then, capture a Pidgey or Rattata. Save it to the boxes on Pok?mon Stadium. Repeat the steps with a different Pok?mon until you get all three. You can also save and keep Pok?mon from your old game that you still want before starting over.

Unlimited number of same Pok?mon
Note: This trick requires the Mega Memory Card from InterAct. Save your file on the Mega Memory Card. Go to the Pok?mon Lab and put the Pok?mon to be duplicated in a 64 Box. Reload your game on the Mega Memory Card and receive your Pok?mon in the 64 Box. Repeat as many times as desired to create an unlimited number of the same Pok?mon.

Avoid recoil damage
If you use an attack that you know will kill the opposing Pok?mon, but will hit you with the recoil, make sure that your Pok?mon has at least 20 HP left. Use the attack and you will not suffer the recoil damage.

Take less damage
Use the following trick when your Pok?mon is receiving a fatal attack, such as when Thunder is used on a Water Pok?mon, to leave you with enough HP to attack your opponent once. When your opponent's Pok?mon begins to use their attack, hold Down + L + B until the energy takes its affect. When the energy leaves, you will have a chance to strike your opponent's Pok?mon. Note: This trick only works between 70% to 80% of the time. This will not work if Pok?mon are totally mismatched, such as when a level 50 Pok?mon is fighting a level 100 Pok?mon.

Inflict greater damage
While your Pok?mon is doing their attack, hold Down + L and repeatedly press A. Then when your Pok?mon attacks, hold Down + L + A until the damage is taken. This is very effective when you attempt a fatal attack. Note: This trick only works between 80% to 90% of the time.

Attack first
Immediately after you choose a move and you want to go first instead of the CPU, hold L and press A. Note: This trick only works about 50% of the time, mostly in the Pika Cup.

Trade without a second transfer pak
Put a box on the game, then put the Pok?mon from a different game or the same one in the box. Then, go back to the lab and put the box back on the game that you are trading to, go to the box, and withdraw the Pok?mon when you want or need it.

Give Pok?mon to another Game Boy pak without getting one back
Place the desired Pok?mon in a separate box from which you have your regular Pok?mon. Transfer that box to the 64box on the Nintendo 64. Shut off the system (if you only have one transfer pak) and insert desired Game Boy pak. If you have two transfer paks, then just switch the Game Boy pak with the one you are going to trade to. Then, transfer the box with the Pok?mon in it to the other Game Boy pak and you will have the Pok?mon without giving one in return.

Game Shark codes without a Nintendo 64 Game Shark
The "Import" feature and import pack can be used with Game Boy Game Shark codes while playing the original game or codes designed for it.
