The Simple Question & Answer Thread

[True Reign]

Hunk, I found my Relicath in the underwater grass fields by Sootopolis. Maybe it's a mistake?

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

Maybe, but I remember finding one in the water outside of Lilycove and Mossdeep. I wouldn't think that Serebii would be wrong.

[Aegis]

The Simple Q & A Thread was created just for this purpose :>

@ The Hunk's 2nd post: I appreciate the thought, but just stick to reports in the future instead of mini-modding, thanks~

Okay, we were both correct and incorrect. They are found in both places which rocks because that means we both were right.

I did find a Relicanth just five minutes ago so it isn't impossible. Keep trying, I am sure you will get it after a while.

And Aegis, remember, I was a mod at one point. It is natural for me to say things like that because if you go back in history a little that is all I said when I modded this forum. It will take me a while to get use to everything again. Thanks for your reminder though.

Good to see you again, Hunk. I took a sabbatical for a year or two myself, until my youngest son got us all back interested in it again. Still not interested in DPP though, and I don't see that changing. Weird not seeing you as a mod, you mini-modder. heh

BTW - I always verify any info I happen to get from serebii as you would be surprised how many times I found the info to be wrong.

I've pretty much finished FireRed and I'm trying to catch all the legendaries, all I have left are Mewtwo and Suicune. Mewtwo is easy, but I don't know what I have to do to get Suicune.

I know he's found roaming around Kanto, but I need to know what must be done before he start running. I've completeed everything to do with the storyline and I've got the National Dex, so is there anything else I've got to do or can I go and find him right now?

[DarknessSneasel]

i dont think there is anything else. Just walk do the route to town trick and every time check the grass and you should come across it.

[Ru-Kun]

Well it depends what starter you chose in the first place. If you wanted Suicune you needed to chose Charmander.

If u want to see Suicuine for the first time, I recomend the patch of grass just in front of the building that u go through to go into Viridian Forest. I saw Sucuine there. Use your master ball or put him to sleep. He'll run away.

[MetalMario]

1. Just keep playing the game until you've seen him.
2. After seeing him, you can track him down with the Pokédex. Since he moves to a different route each time you do, it can be a bit tricky to be on the same route as him, but you'll learn with practice.
3. Carry a strong Pokémon with the move, False Swipe. (You can use a stronger attack, but you risk KO, in which case you must reset your game without saving.)
4. Track Suicune down and False Swipe him. Repeat this process until he's at 1HP.
5. Track him down and use a sleeping move such as Spore.
6. Save your game.
7. Take a Pokémon with the ability, Arena Trap, or Shadow Tag.
8. Track Suicune down with this Pokémon in your lead slot.
9. Begin throwing the Pokéballs of your choice.
10. If Suicune KOs your lead Pokémon or uses Roar, reset your game and try again. (It's VERY important that you NOT save if it uses Roar. If this happens, it disappears from your game forever.)

[Ninja Caterpie]

There's no easy place to get him. Just because you got him/it somewhere doesn't mean they will.

Fly to a city with nearby grass, then go into the grass and use a Max Repel. Run around. If it doesn't appear, fly to the city and try again. :D

[JollyRoger25]

Okay well evidently this thread turned into a "Help me find the lengendary animals on Fire Red and Leaf Green!" so my suggestion is (And I highly reccomend that you do this)
1. Buy one, thats right one max repel.
2. Fly to Viridian City
3. Walk south to the edge of the northren most grass field, make sure not to walk into it.
4. Save game
5. Use max repel
6. Walk around in field of grass until it runs out
7. When it runs out, reset game and repeat steps 5-7 until found, now it might take a while, but it works.
Really this works, I caught Entei and Raikou this way, now I have to complete the game so I can get to look for Suicuine.
Oh heres a quick refrence chart for what your starters need to be to catch the animals.
Bulbasaur -> Entei
Charmander -> Suicuine
Squritle -> Raikou
Have fun.

[awsomedude30]

the easiest way is to use a master ball
or you can use a smeargle with the following moveset:
Mean Look
Swords Dance
Spore
False Swipe
If you chose to use the smeargle make sure the smeargle is lvl 60+

[Swift!]

I know how to catch him, all I wanted to know was what I needed to do to make him "findable".

[shanecdavis]

In order to get the Legendary Dog to begin roaming the region, you must acquire the National Pokedex.

BTW - Suicune doesn't know Roar, so you don't have to worry about it disappearing.

[Ninja Tree]

Has anyone tried to catch a specific shiny Pokemon before and succeed? How long did it take? And were there any tricks in FR/LG to help catch shinies?

[MetalMario]

Yup.

Porygon on Fire Red.
Dratini on Fire Red.
Poliwag on Fire Red.
Abra on Fire Red.
Treecko on Sapphire.

If you're also counting the 4th-gen, then add:
Dialga and Rotom on Diamond, which I no longer have.
Drifloon on Pearl.
Palkia on Pearl.
Many with the Pokéradar.

My main suggestion is to, after every fifty resets or so, walk around a few steps and re-save your game. This provides your game with a new set of random numbers so you don't keep seeing the exact same set of Pokémon over and over again.

And this probably should go in the sticky.

...well, there's the Emerald trick, but I didn't want a shiny Regi, so...

On Emerald (which says yea for the trick), I successfully 'hunted' a Swablu. It took afternoon after afternoon, I ain't gonna lie. But I did, however, feel a great sense of accomplishment after succeeding...even though I could chain a better one in an hour ...

[ckret2]

Hypothetical question: if a Pokémon is holding a Shell Bell and uses Explosion or SelfDestruct, will the Shell Bell restore HP to the Pokémon using the move and save them from fainting?

(I doubt it would, but since I'm going up against Tate and Liza, and my Wheezing is all but useless against Psychic-types, it'd be nice to know if I can at least have her go kamikaze a couple of times. She's holding the Focus Band right now, but I'd rather not rely on it.)

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

I am almost a hundred percent sure that no that wouldn't work.

How do you chain in Emerald?

[JollyRoger25]

Hey, can you soft reset for a Shiney verson of a pokemon that you have in a egg. Ex I have a eevee in a egg, and I really, really want a shiny Umbreon, can I save just before it hatches, then soft reset for it to be shiney (oh and how do you soft reset?)

[TwilightBlade]

JollyRoger25

Put the parents in the daycare, yada yada, and wait until the old man stands outside the gate with the egg. Save. Take the egg from him and hatch it and see if it's shiny. If not, reset and repeat.

It will not work if you save right before it hatches, as the pokemon will be the same every time.

If you have D/P, you can either chain for a shiny Eevee or soft reset the gift in Hearthome. If you have FireRed/Leafgreen, you can soft reset the gift in Celedon.

He must of made a mistake, or believes that seeing a pokemon multiple times is chaining.

Ya, it should work. You just have to be lucky and save at a good time.

EDIT: nevermind X33

And TwilightBlade, cool css in yor bost
