- Use Missingno to replicate Master Balls, Rare Candies, and Carbos.
- Use the Jr. Trainer on Route 24 (North of Cerulean City, West of Nugget Bridge) to activate the glitch, since the gambler is harder to get to.
- Initially avoid all trainers on Routes 14-15, since they are in the same areas as Ditto, and trainers are needed to re-enable the menu.
- Save-scum with Rare Candies and Carbos to better manipulate specials.
- Mew is the key, its specials tend to land on the most listed out of any other pokemon.
