THe Regi's in Ruby Ver.

[Kabuterimon]

I can't seem to cath the regi's in Ruby.They always Break out of the ball.Is there a certain kind of ball I can use Besides Masterball?

[Barboach]

The certain method is to use ultra ball and get them down to yellow health, just about red. Then try to catch. There is no particular ball to catch them with, but the most used is ultra ball.

I would say weaken them and catch them, simple. They are legendarys so it is common that they will break out once in a while.

[Tw1tch]

I used about 40 Ultra Balls on Registeel, 20 on Regirock, and 15 on Regice. It may take more or less for you, but it will take a lot no matter what.

[Kabuterimon]

Hmm...I find it hard to do when They run out of PP and use Struggle and get hit with recoil. I Killed Registeel and Regice like this.So besides that, i just weakn it to a red and use ultra balls?Would Slp/psn/par help?

[Barboach]

Yes sleep poison burn etc would help enormously But when you get it to red it enrages the pokemon, thus making it harder to catch

[Kabuterimon]

Ok, I'll try it.Well, i do have one more question.How exactly do i get a Masterball agin?Or was there only one?

[Barboach]

Theres only one masterball in the game and you get it in the Magma base, if your too late the base has been closed up.

[Kabuterimon]

Oh...I was told if you won the lottery in Lillycove, your reward would be a master ball.

[Barboach]

Nope thats just a myth. Never happens unless you have a gameshark (not recommened it can seriously mess up your game)

DON’T Poison or Burn them. They’ll be killed off by the damage they take. The only status moves you should use are Sleep and Paralysis.

Also, that last sentence is wrong. Like most Pokemon in general, the Regis don't get enraged when you get them to the red zone. They are EASIER to catch that way. But of course, legendaries have such low catch rates that you'll still need a ton of Ultra Balls to catch them.

The Ultra Balls Aren't REally on my side....Hey, Is the way you unlock regirock steel and ice diffrent in emerald because i cant seem to unlock regice or rock

[aragornbird]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Yes, in Emerald, you need Wailord in the first slot and Relicanth in the sixth. The cave locations are the same, but unlocking them is different:

Regice: Walk up to the braille, then walk right and along the wall for one lap.

Regirock: Walk up to the braille, then take two steps left and two steps down, then Rock Smash.

Registeel: Stand in the middle of the room and use Flash.


~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

[Kabuterimon]

I see....Is it just me or are legendaries much easier to catch in Emerald?
Latias-3 Ultra balls
Rayquaza-15 Timer Balls
Kyogre-11 Timer balls
Groudon-12 Timer Balls
In ruby these same pokemon took about 3+ as many balls as in emerald.

It’s just luck.

Well, to be more precise, it’s just a random number generator.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

[Kabuterimon]

Thats what the trainer ID is?Woah.What really baffles me is that you can only get to certain places with a certain ID.I guess thats what trading is for now huh?

I got really lucky then, I caught Kyogre with a dive ball on my first try =/

[Toothache]

Net Ball > Dive Ball for Kyogre, since he's not underwater when you meet him.

BTW, the prize for matching all five ID numbers at Lilycove is a Master Ball. It's not a rumour, it's true. I usually only seem to match two numbers though for PP Up.

Timer Balls are a good investment, although it's best to wait til they are about to struggle before using one. Change your ball every so often, since I've noticed if you keep using one type of ball they get used to it.

[Drifblim]

Oddly enough, I've had quite a lot of luck with Kyogre. On both Sapphire and Emerald I only needed to use one Ultra Ball to capture it — both times it was on yellow health. As for Groudon it'd take me four tries, the fourth with four Ultra Balls or thereabout, on Emerald. Rayquaza would usually take about 5 tries. Registeel on Sapphire, I used just one Ultra Ball on it when it was on yellow health. Ohter times for the three Regis, it'd take about ten or twelve tries apiece. Latias and Latios...screw it, I just used the Master Ball on them.

[Flamman]

i caught kyogre in my first try, in a net ball! i couldn't believe my eyes, when all my timers were gone, and i thaught like: what the heck? the only balls i have left are nests! i threw 3, and caught it, my eyes popped out of my face when i saw that.
rayquaza: this time i took 50 timers with me, i caught it in his rest, endeavoured, and then timered.
regirock: same story as kyogre, but i caught this one with a dive ball :S
registeel: this one's a bugger: 7 times, and caught in a timer, while sleeping and false swiped.
regice: the hardest: 19(wtf!) times, and caught in a premier ball(whaaaaat!?), cause my timers where gone, i only took what was left from rayquaza, so there weren't much left.
and latias? what the heck: masterball.

[ZoFreX]

I caught Regirock with one ultraball it was easy, I also caught a shiny Claydol in Sky Pillar with one ultraball as well. Good luck with the Regis though.

[Demonta]

Its just luck basicly, what else can you say?

Keep trying and you'll get it, I had the same tough fight with the regis.
Good luck basically XD

[Kraka-chan]

It can be really annoying that you only get one Master Ball. They should've at least made two; one for Latias/Latios, one for Rayquaza.

For me, it usually takes about 5 or more Ultra Balls (after I've chipped down their health). I'm lucky if it takes two.

[markster91]

use ultraball and have it at red or low yellow HP and a status effect like sleep,frozen,ect

[Levski]

You should paralyze/sleep them and try with Ultra Balls. If you let them Curse too much, they will become harder to catch.

[Kabuterimon]

You should paralyze/sleep them and try with Ultra Balls. If you let them Curse too much, they will become harder to catch.yeah i tried to use spite on cure but i ended up making it struggle then die...i finnally caught them though, it took me like a day for each one.
in the lottery i won with an Altaria the lady sai 'Conragulatonis!Your PC boxed Altaria's ID number Matched with 3 of the loto Numbers!Please take this EXP.Share as your reward!' i didnt really notice this but, why are the pokemon ids diffrent and by the item its Holding it says "OT" then my freinds name. is it because i traded for them or sumthing?oh and does it have to do with only certain trainers winning and stuff?

[aragornbird]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Um, yeah, every trainer has a different ID number that is randomly generated as soon as you start the game, so Pokemon caught by a friend and traded to your game won’t have the same ID as your own Pokemon.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

[Kabuterimon]

oh. um what else is only obtanible with certain id numbers?

[adeebsworld]

I am pretty darn lucky in colloseum i got Entei in one try with a great ball then with Suicune i got that with one great ball to and for Raiku got it with three great balls

[Jenvy]

Can Pokemon really "get used to" the same ball, since they have AI?

[willypiggy]

although it's best to wait til they are about to struggle before using one. Change your ball every so often, since I've noticed if you keep using one type of ball they get used to it.

I agree I used about 20 ultra balls on Kyogre and then I threw a premier ball and caught it :D I was like OMG OMG and I caught Gouradon with one ultra :)

[RoMeRz]

I dont know if they actually get used to the balls, or its just one of those things you think - kind of like hammering a button when they are in the ball to see because it feels like its doing something.

I Feel Like I need To Roar at the Pokemon if it does that. Once i did that with mew because It kept Breaking out and then I accidentaly Saved the game ...X.XThat sucked

[~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~]

In my opinion they are the hardest to catch. Out of those 3 Registeel has always been hard for me to catch.

:t093:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

[what?]

You should paralyze/sleep them and try with Ultra Balls. If you let them Curse too much, they will become harder to catch.

the formula for catching pokemon doesn't take into account attack stat nor defense stat.

and uhhhhhh, i planned to keep the regis where they were because their music sounded cool and so that i could visit them at any time. but in the end i caught them because i also caught rayquaza and latias. and the experience didn't seem complete without them.

so next time i start over with a file, i'm going to leave those 5 legendaries alone. you know, just for fun.
