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.
