In just 20 minutes, I just caught two roaming Pokemon which have eluded me for the entire 2 years I've owned HeartGold, and I did it with just one Pokemon: Gallade. It's the only Pokemon that, to my knowledge, can learn False Swipe, Hypnosis, and Mean Look. So when a roaming legendary shows up, lock it in with Mean Look, put it to sleep with Hypnosis, and almost-kill-it-but-not-really with False Swipe. It made catching them so easy! So just wanted to share my newly discovered method of catching legendaries (it also works pretty well with catching all Pokemon since Gallade has such high attack,so it doesn't need to be at that high a level to bring it down to 1 HP).
If this is common knowledge, please let me know so that I can proceed to feel silly xD
