4th Gen Raikou

[X75flames]

I'm in just below the city with the burned tower, training my pokemon after I beat that gym leader, and what do you know? Raikuo shows up. So I'm freaking out, my lv. 15 nidoran must of crapped him self. So knowing that they run. I decided, what the heck. I trow my only quick ball I got from Kurt for free. On the first time I catch him. I'm soooo happy now.
So, this happen to anyone else? Also, I sudgest trowing quick balls at them if you find them unprepared like I did.

 

[OceanBluue]

ROFL!
i bet you had to clean up your nidoran's pants at least twice after that!

lucky ... i havent seen any of the dogs yet, but i have chased down suicune once in Cianwood.

im totally drawing a blank but can you buy quick balls or do you have to make them with an apricorn?

Make 'em. But Kurt gave me a quick ball sample for free after slowpoke well. I'm sticking Raikuo in my walker to rub it in my freinds face ^-^

I've encountered both raikou/entei while my pokes were underleveld. It didn't occur to me to throw a quickball though x___x. Good stuff thar.

 

[DeathOfBlades]

You mean a fast ball?? A quick ball is something else but they both have the same effect.

 

[bobandbill]

Similar thing happened to me in Japan's version - not that early but still with pre-level-30 Pokemon in my team, heh.

 

[Panique]

I know a guy who has Raikou and Entei and he's only at the.. 2nd or 3rd gym or so.

 

[Pearls_Barf]

That is genius!!! I have just been trying to slowly cut back their HP and then hopefully try to catch them when there Hp is low yellow or red. I will try to fast ball thing.

Anyone else have this problem? I was able to track both Entei and Raikou on my map, but then all of a sudden they don't show up anymore. I haven't fainted or caught either of them. They just disappeared...

Nope quick ball. They have high speed, and I didnt have a fast ball. (Well Raikuo does)

Actually they are slightly different. Fast balls work better on pokemon more likely to flee from battle. Quick balls work best when used early in a battle. Also, quick balls can be bought in pretty much any kanto pokemart.

Immediately after I released the dogs from the Burned Tower, I went out west to train, and the first step I took into the grass was a Raikou.
I tried a Fast Ball, but it didn't work; what a surprise -_-.

SIMILARLY, when I started my game, the first step I took into grass was a shiny Pidgey. I was angry, because I couldn't capture it =X

 

[Chary]

My way of getting Raikou was cheap I think. I traded a Masterball just in case I ran into a shiny through my journey, and when I went west of Burned Tower,I ran into Raikou!
My poor Croconaw must of been really freaked out

Check your own face, when they're in the same area as you, their faces will be behind your face :D

 

[TheGearofWar]

I've seen Raikou three times, no Entei though.

I'm kinda disappointed, I think this Raikou might have a -Speed nature considering my level 30-ish Misdreavus outsped it? Still, I've just been hitting it with some random attacks every time I see it, so when it's low enough, I know a Quick Ball will pwn it ;)

It's just a new feature to the game. I guess they wanted it to make it easier for us, so no matter what, you can attack first in battle against Raikou or Entei. It doesn't necessarily mean it has low speed.

But if you do end up capturing it and you plan on EV training it and it doesn't have the nature you want, you can always make it faint and once you defeat the Elite Four, it will return to battle you again.

 

[Yusshin]

I found Raikou by accident and then tracked both Entei and Raikou down; they're now both roaming, around 5HP, and paralyzed. I just need to fast ball'em.

 

[Vindel]

I've ran into Entei a lot. Brought his health down to like 5 HP. I can't catch him with Quick Balls or Dusk Balls. :( (I play mostly in the evenings.)

I've only ran into Raikou a couple of times, and every time he flees before I can do any damage.

Right now, whenever I try to hunt one of them down (mostly Entei) he moves before I get to him. :/ Gets really annoying.

 

[Kirkland]

Uwah, lucky you!
I've seen him twice, but not had my gengar sorted out to the point where I can trap the darned cat.
He's my favourite of the three aswell! D:!!!
Now I need to go pester Kurt for some balls (ones that arn't INERT) and catch him. : <<<

Yes, when I encountered Raikou too... While surfing! ._.

I was on my way to Mahogany town that time.

I had only 1 quick ball, so I went "what the heck" then threw it.

Then when the ball was shaking, my eyes were slowly becoming huge. Then the ball turned grey. Click! ._.

I was like "wtf."

 

[Sneeze]

I saw both Raikou and Entei when surfing, just has this mental image of them doing a doggy paddle in the lake or w/e.

Tried thowing a ball at Entei but no avail, when I ran into Raikou I just paralysed it and let it flee, should make the job easier later on down the line. I'll might borrow my mean look haunter from Platinum.
