Editing Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Completing the Pokédex

{{Header Nav|game=Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}

To truly beat the game you will need to complete the Pokédex. The regional Pokédex is the same as the Pokédex from the [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] games. Once you have 60 unique Pokémon registered in your regional Pokédex and beaten the Elite Four, Professor Oak will upgrade your regional Pokédex to the National Pokédex, which includes all the Pokémon from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], making it a total of 386 Pokémon.

==Pokédex Certificates==
To obtain the regional '''Pokédex Certificate''' you need to catch 150 Kanto Pokémon, excluding Mew.

To obtain the regional '''National Pokédex Certificate''' you need to catch 380 of the 386 Pokémon, excluding Mew, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Jirachi, Deoxys, and Celebi. Any Johto Pokémon not listed below will need to be [[../Gameplay#Trading|traded]] from another player to obtain them.

==Catching Pokémon==
Most Pokémon from the Kanto region are accessible in the wild as you progress through the game. However, there are specific Pokémon exclusive to each version of the game and you will need to trade Pokémon from the complementary version to complete the regional Pokédex.

===Kanto exclusives===
These Pokémon originally from the Kanto region can only be caught in one of the two games.

==Available from NPCs==
Although not available in the wild, certain Pokémon are available by interacting with characters in the game.

You can only obtain these Pokémon by trading with specific NPCs:

| [[File:Pokemon FRLG Farfetch'd.png|80x40px|Farfetch'd]]{{bp|Farfetch'd}} || [[../Vermilion City#Trades|Vermilion City]]

|-
| [[File:Pokemon FRLG Jynx.png|80x40px|Jynx]]{{bp|Jynx}} || [[../Cerulean City#Trades|Cerulean City]]
|}

During the game, you will collect an '''Old Amber''' in [[../Pewter City/]] and either a '''Dome Fossil''' or a '''Helix Fossil''' in [[../Mt. Moon/]]. Taking these to the {{s|Cinnabar Island|Pokémon Lab}} on Cinnabar Island will allow you to regenerate Aerodactyl, Kabuto and Omanyte respectively. As you can only collect Kabuto or Omanyte, you will need to trade with another player for the one you didn't obtain.

These Pokémon will be given to you as you progress through the game.

==Breeding==
These 9 Pokémon can only be obtained through [[Pokémon/Breeding|Breeding]].

* Pichu
* Cleffa
* Igglybuff
* Magby
* Elekid
* Smoochum
* Tyrogue
* Azurill
* Wynaut

You only receive either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan from the Fighting Dojo, and Hitmontop is not available at all. To collect all 3, you will need to breed the one you have with a Ditto to produce a Tyrogue. Once it reaches level 20, it can evolve into one of the 3 evolutions based on his stats:

{| class="wikitable mid-table"
! Evolution !! Stats
|-
| [[File:Pokemon FRLG Hitmonlee.png|80x40px|Hitmonlee]]{{bp|Hitmonlee}} || Attack higher than Defense
|-
| [[File:Pokemon FRLG Hitmonchan.png|80x40px|Hitmonchan]]{{bp|Hitmonchan}} || Defense higher than Attack
|-
| [[File:Pokemon RS Hitmontop.png|80x40px|Hitmontop]]{{bp|Hitmontop}} || Attack equal to Defense
|}

There are 5 possible evolutions of Eevee, so you will need to breed the Eevee you are given four times. If it's a female Eevee then you can breed it with any Pokémon in the Field Egg group, if it's male then you can only breed it with a Ditto.
