PC Ho-oh

[Bishopk]

I didn't play for two of those years now, give me a break :P
That is, I was never in to GameCube that much.

 

[Bug Catcher Nick]

Surely it can't be that hard?

and if you do 10 trainers per Colesseum session, then you won't have to do it all at once.

 

[KurosakiKun]

I think I'll give a go today. I'll post back with results.

 

[The Graceful Assassin]

after reading this thread i got the inspiration to do it. i have beaten MT.Battle before so that shouldnt be too hard. the hard part is purifying all those shadow pokemon IMO.

 

[Nashton]

yeah i did it

what i did was once every day over the summer when Colleseum first came out

i would battle 10 traniers a day and i would send over my team from sapphire cuz they were better suited for that

and BAM!! "you got ho-oh!!" i still have it today in my emarald now

 

[KurosakiKun]

Okay, I've given up.

It took so long to purify Yanma, and now I have a grand total of 15 pokes purified. Anyone got a speedy way (even a glitch...) to purify Pokemon?

Massage them with scents.
It's expensive, and doesn't do as good of a job as just battling, but if you only have two or three left, go for it.

What I did was I'd let them battle until they had reached the bottom. After that, I would put them in the box and rotate through. I'd have three shadow pokémon in my party at a time, so I could just switch.
This is an easy method if you're playing through the game the whole way. If you decide at the end that you want to do this, it's much harder.
That was another reason I restarted all the time, it's boring battling for hours on end without the storyline propelling you along.

It is boring but thats what you have the Colosseum matches for, i find that Pyrite works the best due to lower level pokemon. and possibly the only glitch that can help you in achieving ho oh is the infinite poke ball glitch but thats it.

 

[Kenshin5]

Just have the pokemon go into hyper mode then call out there name it takes a good deal off the gauge.

 

[Circuit]

I haven't done it. Couldn't be bothered. Sooo many pokemon to purify and 100 trainers to battle. might start again and try now. Post back one I have done it or given up.

 

[Haza]

I didnt get that Ho oh until a month ago. It was frustrating.

 

[The Graceful Assassin]

i just got it 2 days ago, MT.battle only took me 3 hours but like i said the hard part is purifying all the shadow pokemon.

 

[Rich Boy Rob]

If i got Colleseum and a Cube controller for my wii, would i still be able to transfer pokes over to Emerald or does't the Link cable work on a wii? Cause I borrowed Colleseum before and liked it this may have inspired me to buy it...

Yup, GBA - GC link cable works with Wii.

Interesting....Very interesting *Taps chin thinking*

A quick way to purify the pokes is in AGate village. Put one shadow poke in day care, have 6 in party. the edge/cliff near the entrance on the left, walk into it. then plug out your controller, push up on contoller and plug back in. IF the screen shakes, then it is working. leave on overnight and repeat till all are done.

BTW i've also gotten me ho-oh in double battke format. the only "hard" part was the 98th and 99th trainer because 98 has Groudon and 99 has Kyogre. the last guy is not that hard at all.

XD i actually used the Agate trick sped up the process big time, and as for MT.Battle i imported my kyogre so things were not to hard, but i did single format

 

[Moist Bander]

If I tried too attempt it, I would probably gather some EV'd legendaries, alike Kyogre, Mewtwo, and Rayquaza.

 

[Tony the Awesome]

I did this 2 weeks ago with:
Lv100 Rayquaza
Lv100 Lugia
Lv75 Pidgeot
Lv70 Arcanine
Lv70 Blastoise
Lv70 Raichu.

Never lost a match :D

The Agate Glitch they mentioned before is good but time consuming still. Itll purify about 7 Pokes in a day. Purification can be done in 5 ways: Battling, Calling, Walking, Daycare and Massaging and it's based on your pokes Personality. Just experiment with each until you find the one that works the best. Metagross, Tyrantitar and the Legendary dogs all have a difficult time purifying for some reason (probably because they are legendaries or psuedo-legends) so use the 3 time flutes on them. And be patient. I purify at about a rate of 7 in 4 hours this way.
