Use Surf and go to Seafoam Island and surf up and down (while in the water) until Clefable appears. It should be at level 137.

Mankey
To get Mankey, talk to the old man that tells you how to catch Pokemon. Then, go to the first patch of grass on the way to the Pokemon League. There are many Mankeys at that location.

Mewtwo
To get Mewtwo, the rarest of all Pokemon (#150), defeat Pokemon League, and enter the cave in Cerulean city. Mewtwo is located deep within the cave.

Pikachu
You can only catch a Pikachu in Viridian Forest and the abandoned power plant.

You must have a Haunter at level 60 to capture all of these Pokemon. Put the Pokemon to be captured to sleep, then use Night Shade to weaken them. Finally, use an Ultra Ball. Hold A until the ball opens, then let it go to capture them. If it fails, try the Ultra Ball again at least three times. Note: Articuno is very difficult to capture.

Hints, tips, and tricks

Missingno Pokemon
The North American version of the game contains the following glitch Pokemon, which is obtained by using these steps. Go to Cinnabar Island. Enter into the building where the man makes Pokemon out of fossils. Enter the first room in the building with people that want to trade Pokemon. Trade with one of these people; it does not matter which one. Go back outside and move to the far right side of the building. Then, surf up and down the side of the island while half on land and half in the water. Keep surfing until challenged by a glitch that resembles a microchip or barcode. He is part bird and part water type and starts on level 80. Note: Obtaining Missingno can keep the game from continuing correctly, including preventing linked battles, and other bad effects. It is recommended that Missingno be released unless you are just experimenting with the game. Store the Missingno Pokemon in Bill's PC. It will eventually turn into a Rhydon.
