Well, keep trying?
It won't be labeled as Legendaries if it's caught so easily (Yus' I'mma looking at you Dialga and Palkia)
 
Use Fast Balls.

Its' base speed is 100+, so Fast Balls have a high catch rate. I only used 9 on it when I caught it

K so i want to catch Ho-Oh on HG without the masterball... so what would you reccomend? What type of pokeball? Which pokemon? Sleep or paralyz? Right now i am using the pikachu colored pichu with endeavor (this works very well) and then constantly putting it to sleep with hypnosis from Gengar, but Gengar keeps fainting (its lv 47) and im using ultra balls (which isnt working well)... so what do you recommend?

Eye straining text. ;)

Anyway, my method was to wait until night time (in-game) and use Dusk Balls, which have a much greater catch rate overall, benefitted by night time.

No it's not.

To be honest no matter what you do it's not going to exceed a 5% chance by a whole lot. Just low health, Dusk Balls, and soft resetting should eventually get it.
 
This is going to sound completely newbish, but how do I find out my friendcode on SS?
 
Get the Pal Pad from downstairs in a Pokecenter. Connect to the internet. Afterwards, look at your Pal Pad.
 
I have a level 22 poliwag and I taught it Icebeam. Does anyone know where to train it. I'm trying to use it in the battle for clair. She's tough to beat without an ice pokemon.

Route 45 is quite good when training for Clair, IMO. That's where I got my Gyarados (Ice Fang) ready for the challenge, by battling Geodude and Graveler.
But seeing as you said your Poli is level 22, you might find route 45 too high-levelled for training, so I guess route 44 would be a better candidate there.

HGSS lacks good training spots, really :|
You'll just have to make the most out of it.
 
@ everyone - thanks, u rlly helped :-)... but should i paralyz or put to sleep? and ill use timer/dusk/fast/ultra balls. also i have another question... will there be a crown dogs event in america?

Anyone knows when the next pokemon HGSS event is? (For US)

There is the Enigma Stone event starting on July 31st, ending August 27th. In this event you get an Enigma stone that you can take to the Pewter City Museum, and you will get Soul Dew, and one of the Lati's from it (depending on your version; Latios - HeartGold, Latias - SoulSilver).

Too bad I won't be able to participate. Because I'm still in the blackthorn city and training my poliworil to battle clair.

I think you should be able to go ahead and get it; the Enigma Stone will be recieved as a key item and you should be able to get the Soul Dew when you get to Pewter.

You can still get it. The Enigma Stone is only a Key Item that won't get used until you reach Pewter City. But you can still get it so long as you have a Pokedex. It's the item, not the Pokemon, so you can get the event whenever you want.
 
I have a Shaymin that I think may be a fake, I have taken it to the Flower shop in Goldenrod but nothing happens.

I know the flower transforms Shaymin from 5am to 7pm but can I get the flower any time?
 
Save File

Right, last night in my SoulSilver game (English) I was going to have the Tag battle with my rival. I entered Dragon's Den and saved the game, I then proceeded to battle and then lost, so I turned the game off by the switch and left it for the night.

A few minutes ago I went back to it and got a blue screen with the message "The save file will be erased due to corruption or damage."

I've tried getting dust or anything out of the DS and the game card, but there's nothing. I've also tried a different DS but get the same message.

...Help?
