2.how long do you have to keep on walking in the grass? until the max repel is out or 5 mins? how long?

Heres how I did it,

Flew to Viridian city, Put on max repel, Ran to route two, and ran in the grass, about 10 secs I ran into the building came back out and ran around again, I did that like 20 times, didn't find it then flew back to Viridian city

Repeat Until Found.

Make sure you use your masterball on it, as they always flee.

Ahah, Lol when I was writing that I knew you used it, I did the very same thing, Well you want to catch it then, get a zubat or golbat, at Level 42 it learns mean look, teach it that, then level it up to level 49 then go find the legendary dog, use mean look, it'll be stuck there and won't run. BIG problem is if it's Raikou or Entei, it might use Roar, this makes you run as well as loose sight of it, as in you can't track it in the pokedex and you'll have to search for it all over again.

shanecdavis April 6th, 2007 6:47 AM

Not if you are planning on using it as your lead Poke and using Max Repel.

ltr_17 April 6th, 2007 7:25 AM

♠Shiny♠Mr.Mime♠ April 9th, 2007 10:45 AM

but wait theres more lol

you can sr for shiny dogs or different natures by using the method the thread starter posted but with a twist


make sure the dog is in your dex
to get in your dex trade of course
ok save before giving sapphire to celio
go to a route with a building or underground tunnel passage
and walk in and out until it is in your area{to do this you have to have it in your dex and also be able to track it by checking your dex}
when i is in you area find and catch it with a masterball and check its nature and shinyness or evs/ivs or whatever it is you like
if it is not what you like then soft reset by pressing a, b, select, start at the same time and proceed all of the steps over again until you get the one you like

The thing is that if you keep searching on the same route it will appear at some point. If you try different places, you'll take more time so it's better to go into the building, then go back to Route 2.

i found my Entei at sea route first time. i used 67 lvl Raichus thunder wave, it fled, and i found it again, but now i had 100 lvl wobbuffet in first.it used stomp, i counter, safeguard and throwed three Ultra Ball. I caught it,because it goes like this:
1-3:
Entei: finding rate:1 Catch:3
Suicune: Finding rate: 3 Catch: 0
Raikou: Finding rate:2 Catch: -300%!!!

thepog May 5th, 2007 3:59 PM

SWEET! IT WORKED ty ty ty ty I was looking for entei for 2 mounths thankyou so much!

I might be wrong, but I thought the dogs' characteristics were set from the start of the game. Or is it when you give the Sapphire to Celio? Have you tried this to check?

When the dog uses roar can you find it again?

This method is to find them for the first time. If you have seen them, you can use this, but checking your Dex every time so you don't waste repels.

RYOUKI May 13th, 2007 7:30 PM

um...who exactly of the dogs use roar????
i hope its not suicune XD
(and when they use ror repels is a waste of time)

Unown Trainer May 14th, 2007 12:06 AM

nice
 
it works i found entei

really nice

CowFreak5 May 14th, 2007 4:18 PM

I just ran around randomly everywhere until I found it...

ethernet May 14th, 2007 9:32 PM

I have did this with my suicune its worked like a charm

XxSilentxDeathx May 15th, 2007 7:41 PM

Okay so what do i do since he used roar? Can i not find him anymore, and now i have to restart to just get a riqou? Or is he still randomly around but repels dont work now..?

I think you've got the wrong idea... Since he used the move Roar, he forces you to flee and he won't appear in your PokéDex (or so I've come to understand in this thread). You can still find him and you will not have to restart your game. He's still around and repels will still work. He's just not in your PokéDex now. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I hope this helps you,
~nguyende :)

becky92 June 26th, 2007 1:27 PM

Thanks for this, i'll have to try and see if i have any luck finding Suicune. :]

Prons June 26th, 2007 5:38 PM

I couldn't help but notice a lot of folk in this thread are mentioning Wobbuffets, do they have an attack or skill that prevents the epic pokemon from running? I'd definetley want to save my master ball for Mewtwo.

IPanda June 26th, 2007 5:59 PM

Awesome, thanks for the info, ive been trying for so long. i hope it works!

The Pokémon Wobbuffet has the ability Shadow Tag, which preventsthe foe's escape. Although, I believe that the Wobbuffet must be sent out at the start of the battle for the ability to take place, so switching to a Wobbuffet would not work.

I hope this helps you,
