Training
[Beginner\Intermediate\Advanced]

Starting off in Pokemon Creed not too long ago myself, I know when I first joined I was constantly slacking and it didn't seem like I was making any progress. Trust me when I say this, if you look around on the forums there are plenty of people willing to help out new players with free hand-outs of pokemon with a level of 1,000. This first method of training is the slowest, but by far the most profitable when it comes to collecting coins[from gaining clan credits, which will be explained later on in this guide]

First thing you want to make sure of, is that the pokemon you are training knows the move "Bolt Strike" To change your moves, click [Your Pokemon] which is located under main menu. From there you can simply click [Change Moves] on the pokemon you are training.

Now that your pokemon knows bolt strike, it's time for our first approach. Click on [Npc Fights] in the Battles menu. If you are training a ghost type pokemon(e.g gastly, gollet, golurk, gengar, etc) choose the Bird Tamer. If the pokemon is not ghost typed, choose Swimmer Richard.

Always use bolt strike, if you are using a ghost type pokemon, the bird tamers pokemon will never hit you. If you are training on Swimmer Richard, then you will only need to use bolt strike twice, maybe three times.


In this next method, you will likely need the moves "Toxic" and "Fly". These moves aren't REQUIRED to beat Zapmolcuno, but it's very likely you will lose without them. In order to get Toxic, you will need to either purchase it yourself for 4,500 Coins and 75,000,000$, or have somebody loan it to you. I'd suggest asking around in the [Chatroom] if you can't afford it and would like to loan somebodies pokemon. In order to teach your Pokemon Fly, you will have to loan your pokemon to somebody who can beat Zapmolcunos. Most people will charge you for this, but sometimes you will find a nice person who will do it free of cost.

My personal strategy for beating Zapmolcunos is having all your pokemon either Goletts or Golurks, as 3\4 of Zapdos moves are ineffective to them. Have your pokemon that knows toxic in first slot. Start the battle off with toxic, once zapdos is poisoned, switch pokemon and when Zapdos faints, pull out your toxic pokemon again and repeat the process for moltres. Articuno can be difficult sometimes, but mostly you should have no problems over coming this trio.
Note that this is just my method, there are many other ways to do this, and you should play around with your team\move setup until you find comfortable battle conditions.


In this last method I am going to show you, your pokemon will need to know toxic, it will also need to know fly and\or megahorn. You also must have every Gym badge[Described later on in this guide]. Once you have said conditions met, you are ready to face the Mysterious Trainer, who can be located in [Dark Alley].

When battling his mew, You must always use toxic until mew is poisoned, then just keep attack mew until it faints. This is the best amount of EXP you will gain per battle.

Obtaining Currency
[Cash/Coins/Points]

I've found that the best way to make Cash is to train a random pokemon, and then auto-sell it to the shop. If you can train a Pokemon to level 900, it will be worth the max amount of cash you can currently hold in-game. Obviously there are many other ways, such as from winning battles, 50\50, Lucky Dip, Daily Raffle, Fishing Contest, e.t.c.

Coins, are probably the most used-currency in-game when it comes to player trade. They are used to buy Promos, legendary pokemon from Game Corner, they are used to fill the need of gambling to some players. I've found that the best way to earn coins other than winning 50\50 or Daily Raffle\Fishing Contest is to join a clan. When your in a clan, every battle you win, you will gain a certain amount of clan credits. 10,000,000 clan credits along with 1,000,000$ cash will exchange for 10 coins. If you are a dedicated member, you can easily gain 500-1k coins a day, sometimes more. Also, being an active member of the forum community could rack in the wealth for you, each genuine post you make you will earn one forum credit. The more credits you save up, the more coins you can redeem. When it comes to 50\50, do not gamble unless you've got the coins to do so. Always start small, 100 bets of 10 coins is likely to be more profitable then 10 bets of 100 coins.

At the moment, points are not used for much. Some games at game corner require points to play, and eventually points will be used to purchase VIP days. The best way to earn points is by Unscrambling words, Winning battles at the Battle Tent, and playing other games. Most of which are self explanatory.

Catching Pokemon
Pokemon Locations

Catching map pokemon is vital to your pokemon experience. It's all about catchin' em all after-all! You will need to purchase Poke-balls from [Mart Co], refer to Obtaining Currency above for methods on getting cash to buy pokeballs. You cannot purchase masterballs from the Mart co however, you will need to purchase them at Department Store for 500,000$ and 5 Coins. (Should stock up on a few in-case you run into a shiny pokemon) Travel the maps, and catch all the pokemon you desire :)!

Collecting the Badges!

You will need to collect all the badges in order to do the most advanced form of training[refer to above]. In order to travel to the next region, you must first beat the one that came before it. E.g, you need to defeat all Kanto Region badges, then you can travel to Johto region[Via Airport] and defeat those gym leaders. Traveling to new regions cost money, but it's not too expensive, and you can refer to above cash guide to make said money in order to travel :).

Colored Pokemon!
Shiny, Cursed, Rainbow, Golden, Shadow

Colored pokemon are cool looking alternative(re-coloured) Pokesprites. There are tons of ways to obtain these pokemon. If you would like to find shiny pokemon, you can search maps, or use the "Random Swap" feature, located in the [Trades&Misc] Sidebar[If you want the shiny you find to be base, make sure you are swapping a level 5 pokemon]. If you want to collect any of the other colored pokemon you will have to either buy them as a promo, buy them off of other users, or win some sort of competition or contest. If you go to the [Laboratory] in the Main Menu Sidebar, you can complete Lab Tasks, earn lab credits, and buy either a Rainbow Ball or Shadow ball, which can be used to catch a random encounter rainbow or shadow pokemon.[This encounter will not be on a map, it will be while you are browsing through creed [E.g, Games Corner, Main Menu, etc].
If you want to find prices on each colored pokemon released, you can view the official Rate list!
[Colored pokemon rate less(cost less) when it's not level 5 or is evolved, people prefer them at base(level 5) and un-evolved]
