Congratulations!Riakou is really fast so it was very likely it could have ran away.Thats why you probably should use a Fast Ball on a Riakou(which you probably did).You're lucky!On my Silver I freed the dogs but I never encountered one.Plus like I said on your other thread in Crystal you need to catch all 3 beasts to battle Ho-oh at the Tin Tower so if this is on your Crystal then you have 2 more to go before you can battle Ho-oh.
EDIT:In Crystal after you've seen Suicune at Cianwood City, Route 42, and 35(you won't be able to catch him) when you get the Clear Bell you will be able to catch it at the Tin Tower but it won't run away.
Thanks!But I didn't use a fast ball :\ .I used my 1 master ball on him.I'll just use my 30 ultra balls for Suicune.But what should I go for??I checked Suicune and Entei's info and Entei has better attack then Suicune,but Suicune has better defense??Looks like I haven't decided yet.
I guess that it would be a good idea to use a master ball seeing how fast Riakou is.Plus it depends on which one of the other 2.Are you an offensive or defensive trainer?
Mean look would help you catch him.
Use your umby to do that, mean look it then baton pass to someone who can twave it, of course your umby will have to be at a high level in order to be faster than suicune.
