This method is based almost entirely on luck, but may be the most efficient way of obtaining a Celebi in Pokémon Emerald (it does mean spending money and the purchase of goods online, so be careful).

  1. Search websites such as eBay.com and Gumtree for a used copy of Pokémon Emerald.
  2. Check to see if the save file on the copy has collected the special Event Pokémon Celebi, and has it in either their box or in their party ready to trade.
  3. Purchase the used copy of the game and wait for it to arrive. From there, you can either choose to trade the Celebi within the bought copy over to your own personal copy of the game or continue to play on the other instead.

      Warnings

      • Be cautious of dodgy deals, and always make sure you can trust the person you are buying off either online or in person. One recommendation is that the person has many great reviews and high ratings on their account. Also, don't meet up with any strangers in real life. You never know who they could be or what they could be trying to achieve through their 'transaction' with you.
      • Be careful with malicious website links and viruses when looking online for "Gameshark/AR Game Codes"; only use websites that you can trust.
      • Don't go bragging about your Celebi both online and in real life unless it was legitimately obtained. Otherwise, you could get called out eventually and then frowned upon rather than being envied.
