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.

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.

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.

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...)

Cyclone February 10th, 2015 5:26 PM

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.
