    Some players will use their master balls to catch other legendary pokemon to pick their favourite nature and high IV at their pokemon 's stat ( Ex : Sp.atk for my rayquaza with modest , Ev train , and high IV , 456 sp.atk at lvl 100 , Gameboy )

    Or some players will finish the game as soon as possible ( Catch good nature groundon with master ball , and end the game , my record 4:21 beat the game with blaziken solo , Gameboy )

    AFTER BEATING ELITE FOUR , DON'T TALK TO ANY TELEVISION FIRST ! ( BECAUSE TALKING TO IT WILL ACTIVATES LATIOS 'S APPEARANCE )

    Most players thought they can't choose latios 's nature ?

    There is a way to choose nature of latios you like . I will explain later , just don't talk to any TV !

    To catch latios without master ball , get 2 to 4 Golbats from Skypillar

    The higher the level , the easier , you may also evolve one of them into Crobat ( But takes long time to make happiness max , it is ok if you don't want to)

    Prepare at least 30 hyper potions , 10 revives , 50 ultra ball and 25 timer balls ( Timer balls are VERY GOOD AT CATCHING LEGENDARIES AND TWICE BETTER THAN ULTRA BALLS WHEN IT REACHES MAXIMUM POWER OF CATCH RATE , and it is cheap )

    Teaches the bats weaker move with no high critical ratio so you won't kill latios accidentally . ( Aerial Ace , Secret Power )

    Get mach bike .

    Get your bats and have a pokemon with you that has fly ( Crobat can fly )

    Save infront of the Television at your home ( Littleroot City )

    Talk to the TV , ( Notice : Before catching latios , NEVER SAVE THE GAME ! )

    Go to Slateport City 's upper route , route 110 and get into the bike road shop , enter and come out , then encounter 5 times wild pokemons at the grass nearby the bike shop . ( It is close , I see other spots and other styles to meet latios from other players , as your wish )

    After 5 times encounter , no meet latios , go in bike shop , come out again , do it repeatly . ( Patience and Luck are required )

    Once you encounter Latios , mean look him , then hurt latios ( BE CAREFUL OF DAMAGING LATIOS , CAUSE HE IS NOT TOUGH )

    If you are damaged , eat hyper potions , and keep throwing balls when you have a chance .

    If your sp.def has been decreased , sacrifice that golbat / crobat you are using , let it dead .

    Once you switch other golbat , MEAN LOOK AGAIN .

    Revive the dead bats , eat hyper potions , then keep throw balls ( Use timer ball when the battle lasts for many turns )

    You can also switch bats , even the first bat did not dead , he will try to escape the next turn , use the second bat to mean look him , then he can't escape again .

    Latios 's catch rate is low , so keep throwing balls .

    If latios is struggling and you still didn't catch it , escape before latios die ! ( Latios struggle 's damage are compare to the damage it deals to you , his attack is low , so only takes a little )

    Confusing too , compare to a pokemon 's attack and defense ( Rayquaza hurt itself more because attack high , defense low , while latios didn't )

    Escaping to try meet latios again , enter and out the bike shop and check pokedex to confirm his spot .

    His pp will recharge after latios fled or you run away so you don't have to worry about it struggling to death .

    Dusclops are good at catching latios but speed may lower than it , latios will escape ( If your dusclops speed are faster than latios , cast mean look , and latios can never damage your pokemon , cause ghost is immune to psychic )

    Once you catches latios , check it's nature , if it is bad , reset :( , and do all the things above again , speak to the TV , bla bla bla...... ( Normal players won't mind pokemon's nature )

    If it is Sp.atk nature or natures you like , Gratz !

    Did you join PokéCommunity just to post this?

    Anyways, this is about the games and the Hoenn games specifically, so it should go in Advance Generation Gaming section instead of in Pokémon General (since it has a section where it somewhat fits).

    Lovely. We have a post about this in the FAQ already if anyone needs it. And if anyone needed help with finding Lati@s, they could ask in the Q&A thread.

    Locked.
