Pokémon Yellow Pokédex CoolTrainer?

This trick which makes use of both move 0x00 and the Pokédex glitch item might be an alternative to LOL glitch.

TheZZAZZGlitch has stated you can't bring screen data from outside of battle into battle with CoolTrainer in Yellow in the same way as Red/Blue, but if you use the Pokédex and exit it the game will bring up tiles in battle (where we can proceed to flash the items menu) based on where you are (you may need to flash a menu before battle to update it first).

In theory then having the Pokédex glitch item print a 0x15 at BGB coordinates x=01 y=06 may allow you to get a Mew using a Yellow CoolTrainer.

I'm unsure how it brings up the tiles at the moment though as they aren't arranged in the same way as before battle.  Hmm.

Edit: I confirmed it worked (but with Hitmonchan and a Route 1 setup). This means Yellow CoolTrainers are a thing now, yay! :)

Oh that's pretty cool! I will test asap in french games. LOL Glitch is fine but a bit messy (especially in Yellow games); using only the Pokédex is better.
However still, Cooltrainer Ditto has to be traded from R/B, right?

Thanks!

That's right, or you could also possibly use any of these glitch Pokémon that learn it, such as . (hex:C1) at Level 16, 22 (and can be obtained with the Trainer escape glitch) or the Q (0xFF) with no moves from the Pokémon Bank glitch.

Hello Torchickens,

I'm coming back on this as I have some time, now. Can you give me the exact process on how this works to get the Hitmonchan for example? Thanks :)

Hello Torchickens,

Sure!

Unfortunately I don't know the exact requirements to identify a normal overworld that would convert into a suitable Pokédex CT overworld, however this image shows where I got an encounter on Route 1 to get Hitmonchan.

When you get in battle,
1. Use the Pokédex
2. Close the menu to corrupt battle tiles
3. Open and close the items menu
4. Scroll on the Fight menu until the corruption occurs

More examples are detailed in this video

Additionally using a RAM Glitch City, you can get various Pokémon including Mew and 3TrainerPoké:

The steps are detailed in this thread:

Hope that helps!

Hello!

Somehow I missed that you replied to my message. I'm very sorry  :-[

Thanks for this explanation, unfortunately I don't seem to have a working cooltrainer corruption in the french Yellow I was using, so I need to find another save file. That said, I'm pretty sure it works also in french games, since everything else that is cooltrainer/LOL related behave exactly the same :)

That's OK! :)

Ah. Hope you find a save file soon where you're able to get it to work.
