Catching Legendaries
 
Well i finished the game but havent caught all the pokemon yet. I am currently catching all the obtainable legitmate pokemon you can get in Omega Ruby http://i.imgur.com/eCY7B4b.jpg is what i currently have. Anyone else catching legendary pokemon lately?

Nusdogg December 7th, 2014 4:52 PM

Yup, I haven't beat the Elite Four yet, but I'm on my hunt. So far I have Kyogre, Thundurus, Zekrom, Azelf, Lugia, Cobalion, and Terrakion.

Judge Mandolore Shepard December 7th, 2014 5:02 PM

Of the Legendary Pokemon that can be found in the portals, I have only caught two of them. The two that I have caught are Heatran and Zekrom. Of the ones not found in portals, I have caught Kyogre, Rayquaza, Latias, and Deoxys.

TwilightBlade December 7th, 2014 5:24 PM

It's been a while since I caught a legendary without a Master Ball. I was pleasantly surprised that I caught Mesprit in 11 turns and used a Dusk Ball. I want to catch a shiny Zekrom/Cresselia at some point without using my Master Ball.

Candela's Legendary Hunt Journal
Spoiler:


I've been posting these in the ORAS Travel Journal in case anyone wants to know.

Aka. this is practically what I've been doing the past few days. I've noticed the Legendaries are easier to catch in ORAS (I mean I caught 6 of my legendaries in 1x multiplier balls).

Sebastian_Sommer December 7th, 2014 7:16 PM

I managed to catch almost all of the legendaries (except Cressalia) in my Alpha Sapphire with matching poke ball types:

Kyogre - Great ball
Rayquaza - Nest ball
Deoxys - repeat ball
Regirock - dusk ball
Regice - dive ball
Regsteel - ultra ball
Regigigas - timer ball
Dialga - timer ball
Giratina - timer ball
Uxie - ultra ball
Mespirit - heal ball
Azelf - great ball
Suicine - master ball (originally wanted to catch it using dive ball but ran out)
Raikou - ultra ball
Entei -poke ball
Lugia - dive ball
Heatran - dusk ball (originally wanted to catch it using pokeball but ran out)
Zekrom - luxury ball
Kyurem - dive ball
Cobalion - ultra ball
Terrakion - dusk ball
Virizion - nest ball
Thundurus - luxury ball
Landorus - luxury ball

Rayquaza's catch rate has definitely been increased to Yveltal-like levels. Groudon and Kyogre's catch rates may have also icreased by a little, but I'm not sure. I've seen videos of people catching them at full health, but that's certainly not how it worked out for me. The rest of them seem to be the same, though I did manage to catch Ho-oh with a Repeat Ball of all things.

Frostinite December 8th, 2014 7:58 AM

Is it just me or do these Legendary battles seem far to easy? and ... lacking.
Sure! there are lots of em! and making a special cut scene for each one would make the post game ridiculous but it just doesn't feel right catching Reshiram/Zekrom or Lugia/Ho-hO with such an Under-dramatic setting?

Am i the only one bothered by this?

You have to start questioning things when you caught a Giratina in 5 Luxury Balls. Or a Ho-Oh in 4 Pokeballs. I swear the legendaries at Kalos took longer than 30 Ultra Balls, so the thought of catching them in less than 5 1x multiplier ball is astounding.

Rayquaza gave me a better fight than them imo. Or maybe I'm just lucky right now? Dunno, haven't caught the musketeers, the pixies, the regis and Cresselia though, so this lucky streak might end soon.

Judge Mandolore Shepard December 8th, 2014 3:24 PM

I did find myself questioning if catching Legendary Pokemon has become easier yesterday when it took me two Dive Balls to catch Lugia. Then I realized that it had not become easier when it took me thirty one Ultra Balls to catch Thundurus. I still need to catch the Regis, the Lake trio, the Swords of Justice, Cresselia, and Dialga for the ones I can obtain in Alpha Sapphire.

It took like 10-15 ultra balls to get one of the regis, after what happened i started using timer balls.

arinceo December 8th, 2014 5:39 PM

Yeah, I have noticed it being easier to catch legendaries, though maybe that's due to the fact that we have so many more to catch on this game. Some people may not want to be spending an hour on each legend this time around. I think XY and ORAS have been designed to make stuff like completing the Pokedex easier to make competitive play and shiny breeding more accessible to players.

Spinosaurus December 8th, 2014 5:43 PM

So far all legends I caught were in a Poke Ball

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Kenchiin December 8th, 2014 5:46 PM

Wait, Deoxys can be caught? Am I late to the party!?

esperance December 8th, 2014 6:02 PM

I've been catching all the legendaries within at most 20 turns with all ultra balls.
Heck, I managed to catch Deoxys full health with the first ball I threw!

And honestly, I feel like the legendaries aren't as special anymore when I see them popping out of the same generic portals. It takes part of the fun out of hunting for them that you don't get to at least see them before you battle them. It makes the development all feel a bit rushed.

Pendraflare December 8th, 2014 6:23 PM

Well so far I have the entire musketeer trio and Mesprit. I tried to get Reshiram on Friday but I couldn't get one with the IVs I wanted, so i'll come back to it when I have more free time. Same with Ho-Oh a little while back.

clbgolden December 8th, 2014 6:36 PM

So far the legendaries I have are (FYI the version I have is Alpha Sapphire) :
Kyogre
All four Regi Golems
Rayquaza
Lugia
Heatran
Latias and Latios
Mesprit
Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion
Zekrom
Raikou, Entei, and Suicune
Thundurus

curiousnathan December 8th, 2014 9:51 PM

So far I have caught:

Groudon, Latios, Rayquaza, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Palkia, Ho-oh, Heatran, Tornadus and Deoxys.

Lucky for me I have all caught them in Pokeballs except for Deoxys which I deliberately used my master ball on. :)

destinedjagold December 8th, 2014 11:21 PM

I'm not going to include the legends we get during the game's story (including Delta Episode).

So far, I've caught Mesprit, Tornadus and Ho-oh. Took me a while to catch 'em 'cause I kept soft resetting for better IVs and proper nature (since Synchronize only works 50% of the time, as far as I've heard). Tornadus had sucky IVs 'cause I got bored of catching him. xD

I'm currently in the process of catching Latias. Soft resetted a few times already 'cause I couldn't get better IVs for it (it hurts when I got that Modest one with the IV spred of 31/2/28/1/31/31 and HAD to soft reset;_; )...

Judge Mandolore Shepard December 9th, 2014 7:14 AM

Well I can now add Verizion and Uxie to my caught Legendary Pokemon list. I also forgot to add Diancie to that list as well. (Yes, I do have an event Legendary on that list). I realize that I forgot add the Legendary beasts to my to be caught list.

So here is my current lists for Legendary Pokemon I have caught or not yet:
Caught:
Diancie
Latias
Kyogre
Rayquaza
Deoxys
Heatran
Zekrom
Lugia
Thundurus
Verizion
Uxie

To be caught:
Regirock
Regice
Registeel
Regigigas
Mesprit
Azelf
Dialga
Terrakion
Cobalion
Raikou
Entei
Suicune
Cresselia

skyburial December 9th, 2014 11:00 AM

It used to take me a whole day to catch some of these legendaries, but now I can do it pretty easily with a few repeat balls and an appropriate trap. There's definitely been an increase in catch rates across the board, and I'm all for it, because this was done with the intention of changing playstyles in VGC.

Mesty92 December 11th, 2014 8:51 AM

How/where did you find all those? I'm pretty new to the newer games.

SaniOKh December 11th, 2014 10:57 AM

I have all of them in Alpha Sapphire, and all except Cresselia in Omega Ruby.

During the story, you will get an item called the Eon Flute. With it, you'll be able to access new locations with legendary Pokémon waiting to be captured. Some of those locations are only accessible when you have on your team Pokémon that meet special requirements, such as full EVs, full happiness, level 100 or specific species.

Two of the legendaries don't require the Eon Flute, but IIRC do require you to have the National Pokédex.

Ohhh okay. I want to try and finish my Dex and have every Pokemon including the legendaries. does it take a long time?

bigheadfrankie December 24th, 2014 1:44 PM

legendaries are awesome

My favorite is lugia

or ho oh

or entei

Wolvie56X December 31st, 2014 9:20 AM

i have every Legendary in ORAS so far minus Kyogre, i GTS traded to get the ones from AS since i have OR

i traded for Latias, i traded for Lugia, i traded for Zekrom and traded for Dialga, the good news is i did not trade ANY legandaries away, so i have all of them still haha

and 2 Kyruems to boot, so i have black and white Kyruem hanging out in my bank

Camzabob January 4th, 2015 11:47 PM

Just finished catching them all today, the feeling of having a box full of legendaries is amazing, and watching them all in the pokedex

Geoffrey January 5th, 2015 6:20 AM

Only one I've caught so far is Terrakion, Groudon and Rayquaza. In the process of training a Gallade with False Swipe/Hypnosis/Thunder Wave/Shadow Sneak, per someone's earlier suggestions. Just bred the Ralts this morning, and it's currently a Lv. 55 Gallade thanks to the Blissey bases (seriously the best addition ever). Going to use the Gallade as my legend catcher. Named him Bandit.

Foamster-Whiskey January 7th, 2015 3:00 PM

Ive only caught Kyogre, I nearly caught Cresselia and Azelf but ran out of balls, does anyone know an easy way to catch legendaries

pvnk-as-fvck January 7th, 2015 4:41 PM

I'm currently catching the dogs *I'm being lazy since I haven't played the game in two days*.
I've caught Entei & am going to catch Suicune & Raikou when I feel like it lmao
So far I've caught Kyogre, Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, Heatran, Dialga, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Lugia, Entei, Latias, Rayquaza, Deoxys, & Thunderus.
I'm currently looking for people who will trade with me for a Tornadus & Palkia so that I can catch Giratina & Landorus.

Geoffrey January 8th, 2015 5:30 AM

I got my Gallade at lv 100 so I've caught a few more.

Adding to the list: Virizion, Mesprit, Azelf, Ho-oh, Suicune.

Completely spaced and missed the chance to get Cobalion yesterday (Wednesday), didn't even play yesterday. Oh well, I'll get it next week. Really excited to get Entei and Raikou now though, will probably actually use them because I love them so so so much.

Pendraflare January 8th, 2015 7:54 PM

And not long ago I got Reshiram, Palkia and Ho-Oh as well, the very latter with four 31 IVs and 30 Speed, and the other two had decent stats all-around. I'll go for Kyurem once I have another Master Ball, and something with the proper amount of Speed to check against it.

Evening January 10th, 2015 11:50 PM

My hunt is paused because I don't have the Alpha Sapphire exclusives. >:(
Anyway, I've caught almost everything you can get in OR.

James169 January 13th, 2015 7:47 AM

So far I have these:

Latios
Latias
Suicune
Entei
Raikou
Ho-oh
Groudon
Deoxys
Cresselia
Mesprit
Uxie
Rayquaza
Tornadus

All pokemon I have caught have been with either pokéballs or premier balls, the only great balls, ultra balls etc that I have in my bag were items i picked up

skyburial January 13th, 2015 10:00 AM

So a couple things I learned yesterday:

- Regigas is only available before 6 PM, even if you have met all the other requirements. Not a lot of the guides mention that delightful tidbit.

- The rule about legendaries being unavailable for 48 hours after you've changed the time on your system clock is not restricted to Mirage Spots.

I'm sure you guys can fill in what happened from there -_-

I'm going to 4-Up you here. Easy catching guide for the Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf trio: use Dark types due to Psychic immunity. All moves available to them are, by who uses them, Future Sight/Extrasensory (all three), Yawn/Amnesia (Uxie), Lucky Chant/Charm (Mesprit), and Uproar/Nasty Plot (Azelf). My premium choice was a Crawdaunt with False Swipe; it was immune to Future Sight and Extrasensory, and most of what was left (Yawn, Amnesia, Lucky Chant, Charm, and Nasty Plot) had no impact after I got the subject down to 1 HP, leaving only Azelf's Uproar to worry about.

Uxie, at 8 PM, was my first attempt yesterday. It went into a Poké Ball without much trouble.

Azelf was a pain and took several attempts to get down to 1 HP. Once I got it there, I lost all my Pokémon and dropped over 5K, so reset and retried. This time, my Lv.46 Crawdaunt stood up to Azelf's Uproar long enough to get its HP down to 1, and I had a few knockouts. This caused the Nameless Cavern to disappear from the map as the KOs temporarily reduced friendship.

This morning, I wandered the waters around Mossdeep to regain friendship with a few levels and chanced upon a Shiny Pelipper, and thankfully I had Crawdaunt handy for the catch. Following this battle, I got the Nameless Cavern back on the map, and Mesprit was another easy battle. However, I used 47 Poké Balls, then had to reset because I ran out; I did test and catch on the fifth Great Ball, but with such an easy battle I was using the regular ones as my money is short after buying some Revives (I need to do some rematches or clone my expensive Comet Shards). The second attempt went on the 22nd toss.

So, to sum up, all three in the trio in regular Poké Balls, and a Shiny Pelipper as a bonus. That's a pretty good 24 hours! As for why I used regular Poké Balls: I did the entire Safari Dex from X/Y by catching every Pokémon with every ability in the Friend Safari (did I mention they're all female except for male-only and genderless species?), so I'm continuing the old-school methods with everything except the storyline Groudon, which I sealed on the 10th Ultra Ball very early Christmas morning (Rest is too much to deal with at the level you likely encounter it at). I made an exception for a Poochyena with a good Egg Move when I ran out of Poké Balls in one game.

Maggs January 15th, 2015 12:36 PM

I've been really lucky with my legend hunt up until now.
Caught Kyogre after like 5 ultraballs and caught Cresselia (got the Crescent Isle right before going to the League) in a premier ball after 2 quick balls.
The natures have not been on my favor, Kyogre and Latias have booty natures, but Cresselia is Calm, i guess it's good

Tetra January 15th, 2015 12:55 PM

I haven't caught any Mirage spot/Regis yet. I want to shiny hunt one of them, and I haven't really decided on which one I'm going to hunt, so uh yeah. I do have Kyogre and Rayquaza though!

Yeah I utilized that strategy already. Sharpedo and False swiping Poison Heal Breloom were on my Nuzlocke team. Breloom is surprisingly bulky, too.

I'm glad I got the shiny Zekrom in a Luxury Ball since then, but I've yet to find Cresselia. I'm planning on using Endeavor Staraptor and Spore Parasect to catch her leaving the Master Ball as a last resort. I've wanted a shiny Cresselia since 2007.

Cresselia is the one you have to keep an eye out for because her island is as random as other Mirage Spots. It's near the Pokémon League (south, I think?), but I have yet to see her island. I'm making note, when I do, that I need to bring my Lv.100 Haxorus in to assist with the task just to be sure I get it when the opportunity comes.

I might then use that Haxorus to access the Trackless Forest and take down the legendary dogs in turn (Raikou/Entei/Suicine). Right now, they aren't a concern. I just felt like taking care of the Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf trio since I had a lovely Crawdaunt ready to assist with the relatively easy task. I should have done Mesprit first and Azelf last, however, though I would not have known that the area they come from still appears on the map without an indicator if I did because Azelf caused the most trouble with a 90 base power move, and actually caused the area to vanish after I caught it. Easily remedied, however. Cresselia will be my next target.

I kinda wish an in-game Darkrai was available with Cresselia on your team, but there was the event one, so I guess I won't argue that.

PokéMew January 16th, 2015 2:41 PM

I'm moving slowly but surely on Alpha Sapphire. So far I've captured Kyogre and Ray Ray. -_- But hey, on important games like these, I like to take my time and make sure I don't miss any important events, any items, and that my Pokémon are perfectly up to date, level wise.

jombii January 17th, 2015 7:06 AM

I go Azelf the other day. Encountered Cobalion but got too bored to actually catch it, so I didn't. Will probably hunt for all of them once I am done with the Elite Four.

Circuit January 17th, 2015 11:39 AM

I haven't caught that many on my AS yet (I seriously lack the motivation atm) but the ones I have caught were disappointingly easy. I mean, Rayquaza you HAVE to catch, but when my ultra ball only rolled once before clicking shut, I was amazed. I remember a six hour coach ride, several resets and over 300 Ultraballs (in total thrown) to catch Regirock, but now, it's not even taking 50. And the animation for the legendaries coming from Portals is also a bit... lacking. I mean, Lugia dropping from a hole into a disappointingly lack-lustre stage is anything but inspiring. But hey, they wanted every Pokémon to be catchable between X/Y and OR/AS. So they had to find some way of getting all these legendaries on one stage.

They still have a few who are not catchable. Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo (it lived with the others in the movie, why exclusive?), Meloetta, and Genesect come to mind, but they are all among the Mythical category and thus will likely be Event exclusive (and there are Victini, Keldeo, and Jirachi events out). Everything normally catchable and in the Legendary category is available.

The reason they made everything catchable is simple: the hexagon. That thing that confirms it was found in Gen. VI. Some use that as a Bible to whether the Pokémon is legit. or not; if it's not from Gen. VI, it's not allowed or wanted in cases. In others, if someone wants a certain Transfer move, they know one with a hexagon can't have the Transfer move and is hacked.

Circuit January 17th, 2015 2:19 PM

It's a hexagon? I thought it was a pentagon XD

But I didn't realise people based their opinions of a Pokémon so heavily on if it was caught in Gen VI or not. And yes, now you mention it I realise those Pokémon are event exclusive still, which seems a tad unfair as the only Pokémon uncatchable in either set of games I had was Darkrai (And I lost that when all my DS games were lost, presumably stolen since I haven't found them).

Skip Class January 17th, 2015 11:36 PM

I've been lazy with AS recently so I haven't been able to train up a Pokemon to level 100 since I don't have Zekrom yet. Apart from that I need to get all the pokemon that need their other version exclusives like Kyurem, Landorus and Giratina which I'll probably get sometime this week.

Firox January 18th, 2015 2:15 AM

So far I only have - Alpha Sapphire completed Delta episode have National Dex - Latios (I think it's the right one), Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys

Then again not interested yet in catching the others, mainly since Mew (it's the main legendary I would love to have and not been able to obtain) isn't in the game and most other legendary don't catch my attention, sorry to the legendary fans, I just don't like them (based on their design).

CuteLittleBlack January 18th, 2015 3:31 AM

I currently shiny hunting my Eon Ticket Latios and after that I'll go after the 4 Regi's and a Shiny Cresselia. Have every other Legendary caught, all non-shiny though

Emboar January 20th, 2015 3:27 PM

I haven't gotten to the point where you catch legendaries on my current save files, but when I did go on a legendary catching spree on Alpha Sapphire, I caught Suicune, Lugia, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Deoxys, Latias, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion.

Pendraflare January 20th, 2015 3:44 PM

As of this typing, the ones in Omega Ruby that I still have yet to get consist of Heatran, Giratina, Kyurem (which I can get since I migrated a Zekrom from White), and Cresselia. If I end up feeling really, REALLY daring I might go for a shiny Kyurem... Dx After I get the Shiny Charm, of course.

Howmander January 20th, 2015 6:25 PM

Interesting thing I came across while hunting for the Regi Trio, looking online, asking on message boards and Facebook groups for help everyone just tells you how to get the trio and the requirements and all this other stuff and all I kept asking for was information on how to start the quest, but almost instinctively everyone just tells you all the requirements and everywhere you have to go because I guess it's so ingrained not to have to look for anything but rather just google the answer that no one really tries anymore, but in the first chamber it actually gives you the entire alphabet (which NO WHERE online anyone ever mentioned, no online strategy guides, not answers on pokemon boards, all anyone ever says is "Get this pokemon and that pokemon and put them in this order and do this" but figuring out the alphabet was actually in that first chamber actually makes this whole quest WAY more fun than just being told what to do. (like, rather searching for a pokemon instead of just being handed one by one of your friends) I wish someone would have mentioned that, cause it makes it SO much better to know how to solve the puzzle in game rather than just be told how.

Pendraflare February 1st, 2015 7:24 PM

So after I beat Alpha Sapphire on Friday, I decided to do a mad dash for the legendaries in that game, most notably the ones that are version exclusives, before I wipe it. I've been keeping a checklist of the ones I haven't already got, and I still have yet to get Landorus, Dialga (who i'm gonna get next) and Giratina before I wipe the save I have. I got Thundurus and Lugia today, so those two are taken care of. I won't get all of them, at least not the ones I don't care for enough.

I also got Cresselia in Omega Ruby the other day, which is good because Crescent Isle can be really rare.

TCB February 1st, 2015 11:05 PM

It took me a bit to have someone help me trade the other version's Legendaries so I could catch Giratina, Kyurem, Landorus, etc, but I done it. Thank GOODNESS that there was some challenge in actually trying to catch them this time around; honestly haven't had to soft reset my game to catch a legendary since White.

It was only like yesterday that I caught Cresselia on Alpha Sapphire, and it didn't even go too rough on me when I was throwing Timer Balls like crazy, and it was a successful capture after what was 2 Ultra Balls and 4 Timer Balls.

I did a combination of Thunder Wave + False Swipe before getting my Gardevoir to sponge any hits if it was attacking me.

Starry Windy February 9th, 2015 2:08 AM

I managed to catch several Legendaries, except for Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Cresselia, Thundurus, Landorus, Kyurem, Dialga and Giratina, so far. I have been catching most of them with the help of Capture O-Power Lv. 3, my Breloom's False Swipe and Spore combinations, and mainly used Ultra Balls for the catch.

I've yet to catch Heatran and Regigigas in my OR game. I'm going to try to catch and SR Heatran for better nature and IVs, but I'm not gonna catch Regigigas, because, I don't like its requirement of needing to rename my Regice. -,-

Make sure you have a Synchronize pokemon. And why do you not want to rename Regice? You can change it back afterwards, and it actually counts as it's original name. (I know because I thought I could trick the system by naming my pokemon Regice, but it wouldn't activate the battle, so I HAD to rename it to anything else and the event finally triggered, so naming it Regice and not naming it at all counts as exactly the same thing in the game)

I am aware of Synchronise. :3 I actually have a lot of Synchronise Ralts with different natures. xD And about the "not renaming Regice", well, blame my laziness. I'm too lazy to rename my Regice and then rename it back. :P
(and I already have a Regigigas anyway, so...)

I have plans to resume the Legendary hunt. I will use a Blissey secret base boss to get myself leveled up fast, then I'll try False Swipe combined with a Shiny hunt. Cresselia will be the difficult one; I have yet to get the island, AFAIK.

Pepperton February 12th, 2015 10:06 AM

I don't really spend much time hunting legendaries. I'll catch them if they're cool and I like them, like for example in DPPt I caught Azelf and Uxie, but not Mesprit because I didn't like its design as much.

Cyclone February 12th, 2015 11:07 AM

They all get 3 IVs now, so worth catching again.

Also, pursuant to my last post, Crescent Isle appeared a few hours later. I'm camping in front of the Mirage Spot there now. Seeing if a Shiny Cresselia comes along.

Venitardus February 13th, 2015 11:32 AM

I caught all of them except Regice in alpha sapphire.

destinedjagold March 7th, 2015 12:54 AM

I might as well show off post the legendaries that I caught here. At least, the ones that I've spent a lot of time SR'ing to get good IVs. :3

A few weeks ago I managed to catch Zekrom, even though it was a pain given it took me way more balls to catch than Cresselia. But I did get a really good nature (Jolly) and perfect IVs in Attack, Defense and Speed so it was something nice.

JJ Styles March 8th, 2015 5:50 PM

It really helps that False Swipe comes out as a TM in the game so catching those legendaries becomes a lot more convenient.

Aside from AS Mascot(s) Kyogre and Latias, I've gotten Cobalion after a hard fought struggle, SEVERAL TIMES, since it always came out with useless natures (Neutrals or Wrong Natures like Careful or Relaxed (LOL) ) but i decided to stop and settle for whatever nature (and IVs) with came up with since I'll be using it mostly just in-game, as I don't plan on using it in Wifi/Competitive/PvP as there's a lot of better choices for a Steel or Fight type (or the said type combination in Lucario/Mega Lucario). Then again, I may be wrong about Cobalion. He is the coolest looking of the musketeers in my opinion and probably has some potential given its movepool.

Sheep March 10th, 2015 11:39 AM

I haven't been. There are just.. so many to catch and knowing me I'd want to SR for good IVs/a possible shiny which would take ages. Not to mention I already have these legendaries from transferring them from past games. Maybe eventually I'll get to catching every one but for now it'll be on the backburner for a while. ];

Altairis March 11th, 2015 12:23 AM

I don't have the time or energy to soft reset for a shiny or good IV legendary, but I've been saving them for when I feel like doing so! The thing is, I just spent a lot of my time completing the Pokedex so I guess I just need an AS break xD

I-I have more excuses but I wont make them ;A; terrible

Oblox March 12th, 2015 5:29 AM

I SR'ed for a perfect Mewtwo in X, that took ages (but hes one of my favourite legendaries) but I cant be bothered otherwise.
