Arena Trap work? on Legendary Beasts?
 
hey all

just wondering if the ability "Arena Trap" would stop the legendary beasts from Fleeing. (Raikou in particular, if it makes a diff)

Satoshi Ookami July 17th, 2009 11:50 PM

Yes of course 'till they use Roar

KRAL July 18th, 2009 6:27 AM

isnt there some sticky item or something i can use.

Sweet Candace July 18th, 2009 10:27 AM

Try using Mean Look with a Golbat/Crobat/Umberon first. Then, you can switch to an Octillery who can have the Suction Cups ability, which prevents fleeing.

Doesn't Wobbuffet work too?

If your capture strategy is to "WTF?!" it into the Pokeball as it mercilessly slaughters you, then yes. If you possess any modicum of sanity, then no.

KRAL July 19th, 2009 4:29 AM

hey guys..

i got haunter to lvl 49
(BUT HE DIDNT HAVE MEAN LOOK and the move maniac didnt have it on the list >.<)

anywayz

i used Haunter with a max repel to run into raikou

i switch out my lvl 65 Dugtrio with Arena Trap ability...

and he flees >.<

-------------------------------

It didn't work because the ability only has effect if the Pokemon is in at the start of the turn.

KRAL July 19th, 2009 6:16 AM

damn

i feared that was the reason..

yes wobbuffet does work because of its ability

groudonlover July 19th, 2009 7:13 AM

A much better idea would be to train a new Diglett/Dugtrio/Trapinch/Whatever to level 49, and try it instead, or simply use Mean Look and Taunt, which would prevent Raikou from using Roar, or if you're feeling confident/suicidal, you could try using Encore instead.
If you can in some way manage to get a Pokémon with both Mean Look and Baton Pass, you could Baton Pass the Mean Look to an Octillery and have the Octillery take it out.
Or you could simply try using a Wobbuffet and hope you get your counter right...

Anxiety. July 19th, 2009 8:34 AM

Yeah. As long as the Pokemon with the arena trap is first out, it should work fine.

xxxLatiasxxx July 19th, 2009 9:24 AM

Yes unless they use Rorer.

Pekachoo July 19th, 2009 6:36 PM

Cradily > Roar
But the thing is they can still flee
So yeah you would need mean look, then switch to a pokemon with suction cups
wobbuffet is complete suicide and it's ability doesnt last when you switch

Charmandew July 19th, 2009 7:30 PM

The only real thing I can think of right now is Smeargle.

Use Mean Look. Hope for the best, and then use Ingrain.

Kanto_Johto July 20th, 2009 8:57 AM

NO!!! Do not do this. If Raikou uses Roar, you're ****ed. You'll never encounter Raikou again if that happens.

omi1790 July 24th, 2009 2:59 PM

if u want raikou so badly, just snag one in pokemon colosseum and transfer ir to ur game xD

Sydian July 24th, 2009 4:01 PM

-sighes-

Umbreon at 49 (maybe higher and with a good speed), Mean Look, Baton Pass, Octillery/Cradily. Go on from there. What ever happened to saving the Master Ball for the runners? -_-

^this.

Actually, if you've found him and he ran away, use Absol, since he is the fastest of the four MLook passers (Smeargle, Umbreon, and Ariados are slower) Bring in Cradily, since you'd have to be brain dead to bring Octillery in on a Raicou

Wrong!!! The encounters continue until Raikou faints or is caught.

Zowayix July 24th, 2009 6:29 PM

No, if it uses Roar, it will never appear again.

This is a glitch.

sanny the hedgehog July 24th, 2009 6:32 PM

yeah, i would think so anyway.
why wouldn't it work?
