Pokemon Gold and Silver - Mystery Gift
You can obtain various items and decorations in Gold/Silver/Crystal by using the infrared ports on the top of the Game Boy Color.
There are several items that can only be obtained via Mystery Gift. Additionally, many of the room decorations for your house in New Bark Town can only be gotten via Mystery Gift.
You can use Mystery Gift five times a day, but only once a day when interacting with the same cartridge.
Mystery Gift is not on when you start a new game, but is activated when you talk to the green girl in the fifth floor of Goldenrod's Department Store.
Mystery Gift is also possible by activating it and playing Pokémon Stadium 2.
Chances of obtaining items (Game Boy)
- The game chooses between a list of items or room decorations (50%, random).
- The probability of each item chosen is decided in the list of items or room decorations.
- If the game chooses the room decoration list, and chooses a decoration that you already have, then it chooses from the list of items instead.
