Pokemon Crystal Pokedex - All 251 Gen 2 Pokemon

ALL CRYSTAL POKEMON

Crystal shares Gold and Silver's 251 roster but changes where you find certain Pokemon. New encounter tables mean some species show up earlier or in different locations. Suicune is no longer a roaming legendary; it waits for you at Tin Tower as a guaranteed catch. The Move Tutor on Route 25 teaches Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, or Ice Beam once per week for free. Same Gen 2 Pokedex, slightly better access.

What's different about the Crystal Pokedex

Crystal shares Gold and Silver's 251 roster, but several encounter tables changed. Suicune is no longer a roaming legendary. It gets its own storyline and waits at Tin Tower as a fixed encounter, much easier to catch than chasing it across the map.

The Odd Egg from the Day Care has a roughly 14% chance of hatching a Shiny baby Pokemon (closer to 50% in the Japanese version). The Time Capsule lets you trade with Red, Blue, or Yellow, but only species and moves that existed in Gen 1 can go through.
