4th Gen Lati@s, the roaming pain

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Raikou was far tougher than Latios for me. With Latios, I kept chasing it around, lowering its HP with every encounter. Then, when it was low enough, I sent in my Mean Look Pokemon, inflicted something (can't remember if it was Sleep or Paralyze), and after three of Kurt's Fast Balls, it was mine.

Raikou was the one I used the Master Ball on, after wasting my first stock of Fast Balls and about six Ultra Balls (it used Roar).

I think it adds on to the fun of the game, plus I don't think legendaries should be caught so easily too!
I stalked my Latias in Sapphire and she's still with me up to these days cos' she's just, ah, more special like that.
Nowadays I just clone Masterballs (Sue me) to catch fleeing Pokemons.

I used a Ranch Mew that I had taught Block to for catching the roamers.

Mew @ False Swipe/Hypnosis/Block/Synthesis

Worked like a charm for catching the roamers, along with other less-annoying Pokes.

Get a Smeargle, guys....we really need somebody dedicated to breeding them like this:

Smeargle
@ Muscle Band (it's not very powerful)
lv.34 (lowest needed to catch ALL roamers so far existing.)
-Spore
-False Swipe
-Mean Look
-Softboiled (for recovery, as Smeargle ain't that strong)


I'll either get one, or use my Master Ball

I just said "Screw it" and used a Master Ball on Latias after I realized the only legendary I had left to catch was Rayquaza, if I can ever get someone to trade me the required Groudon for a bit.

You and I are in the same boat. All I have left other than Latias is Rayquaza and I am not too concerned about getting around to catching him seeing as I don't have a Groudon and my faince is too lazy to catch it on her SS.

Going through route 15... theres Latios!
Throw hyperball... catch!

For me there never was a problem with these roaming pokes since i usually got a masterball from emerald. But that with latios was luck.

OMG YES! >.< I have made several attempts and now when I go toward it or back and forth it basically avoids me... ;_;
