That is why your Wobbuffet should be Lv39. What that does is keep the regular Poke trash from popping up, but allows the Lv40 Lati@s to.

Why use Max Repel?? Would'nt that keep Lati@s away also??? This is weird... let me know? Very confused by that...

If I recal correctly, it keeps the weaker pokemon away, still allowing access to Lati@s

 

[brotlov]

Seen Latias for the first time... too bad I didn't have any pokemon with sleep powder... or something of that nature... I was walking around route 121... and all the sudden it popped up I was like omg!! I better catch this... but guess what! I didn't, It fled... I was so pissed... so now I'm walking around with Wobbufet as my 1st pokemon... so it can't escape from me...

And I also have a question... That way to catch Lati@s... that they have posted... using go to bike path, go into building.. use max repel... go to grass....

Ok, here's some thing to do, and it won't take more then 1 hour, catch 4 wobbufets and put them in your PC, then go to Mossdeep City, withdraw the 4 wobbufets, so your party should look like this: 4 wobbufets, 1 flying Pokemon, 1 surfing Pokemon. Now, surf south and you Should run in-to Lati@s, and because of Wobbufet's special abillity, Lati@s can't run.

You catch Wobbufet in the sarfai zone, and I don't know where the best one is.

For Walkthroughs try typing in 'Pokemon Ruby/Saphire Walkthroughs' into Google Search engine. I have looked and there are alot to choose from.

 

[Synchronize]

I'd say gamefaqs.com, but I wouldn't know since I never need walkthroughs =/.

edit: And I'm not sure just surfing will work, as you have to switch routes/towns or fly to another town before Lati@s moves from one spot to the next, and you might not even be in that same spot. Coincidentally, I caught both Latios and Latias near the Safari Zone in ruby and Emerald, lol.

 

[shanecdavis]

Actually, you only need one Wobboffet and a handful of Full Restore/Max Potion.

Personally, I caught my Lati@s (both times) by using Crobat at the front of my party. First you use Confuse Ray, then Shadow Ball, then switch to Wobbuffet and start chucking UBs. Crobat at LV35 or higher will ALWAYS go first against Lati@s, confusing it, then you need a little bit of luck that either the aforementioned Legendary will hurt itself or use a non-evasive move until you can get Wobbuffet out. If Lati@s does escape, well, you can now track it, AND you can start off with Wobba next time. Good luck.

edit: as for a walkthrough, I cannot help you either. I created one for my sons to use, but it is pretty rough.

Does anyone know the exact requirements to get an Effort Ribbon for one of your Pokes? I'm getting a few, but I can't figure it out. XD

 

[trjessie579]

You need to have maxed out your Pokemon's EVs.

Basic guide to EVs if you don't know what those are:

Where can i get a Metal Coat to evolve my Onix when i trade it? Maybe sometimes when an Onix is caught it comes already with a Metal Coat, some help please :laugh:

 

[shanecdavis]

No, a wild Onix will never be holding any items. That said, in RSE, wild Magnemite/Magneton have a 5% chance of holding a Metal Coat.

BTW - In FRLG, you can find a Metal Coat at the Memorial Pillar.

where can I get the special tickets to catch Lugia/Ho-oh Latias/Latios, and Mew?

 

[Shiny Meganium]

I'm sorry, they're not available in-game. I beleive you can recieve them at Nintendo events.

 

[Shiny Umbreon]

where can I get the special tickets to catch Lugia/Ho-oh Latias/Latios, and Mew?

All those tickets are received from Nintendo Events:
Mew only in Emerald
Latias/Latios in RSE
Lugia/Ho-oh in FRLG

You can still get Lugia and Ho-oh in Colosseum and XD, though

Okay, so my Beautifly's Smart Condition is already maxed, I have the Green Scarf, and I won the Master Rank Smart Contest. But the artist didn't come out. What happened?

Okay, so my Beautifly's Smart Condition is already maxed, I have the Green Scarf, and I won the Master Rank Smart Contest. But the artist didn't come out. What happened?

I believe you must get a certain number of points to get your poke's picture painted. Try the contest again, being sure to maximize the use of combos and such, doing whatever you can to raise your score; not just beat the other contestants.

I have somehow managed to loose/misplace my book for these games (I've been looking for weeks at this point.) and a I need the information on Natures, what stats they effect and how.

 

[Roxie Mika]

Also keep in mind that this is not the same Mystery Gift as G/S/C--you can NOT use it with other games, only with Wonderspots.

You're right about it being different to G/S/C (no Item trading, no Pikachu 2 compatability, etc), but you're wrong about not being able to use it with other games. (Check my attachments to see.)

 

[shanecdavis]

I have somehow managed to loose/misplace my book for these games (I've been looking for weeks at this point.) and a I need the information on Natures, what stats they effect and how.

Here is a list of all the Natures and what they affect:

Hardy: (no change)
Bold: +DEF, -ATK
Timid: +SPD, -ATK
Lonely: +ATK, -DEF
Docile: (no change)
Hasty: +SPD, -DEF
Brave: +ATK, -SPD
Relaxed: +DEF, -SPD
Serious: (no change)
Adamant: +ATK, -SP.ATK
Impish: +DEF, -SP.ATK
Jolly: +SPD, -SP.ATK
Naughty: +ATK, -SP.DEF
Lax: +DEF, -SP.DEF
Naive: +SPD, -SP.DEF
Modest: +SP.ATK, -ATK
Calm: +SP.DEF, -ATK
Mild: +SP.ATK, -DEF
Gentle: +SP.DEF, -DEF
Quiet: +SP.ATK, -SPD
Sassy: +SP.DEF, -SPD
Bashful: (no change)
Careful: +SP.DEF, -SP.ATK
Rash: +SP.ATK, -SP.DEF
Quirky: (no change)

Hope this helps you.

BTW - For the Natures that have a + and - after them, what that means is there is a 10% increase (+) in the first stat, and a 10% decrease (-) in the second stat. For example, an Adamant Nature would give a Poke a 10% increase in its Attack stat, and a 10% decrease in its Special Attack stat. This comes in handy because if you have a physical sweeper like Snorlax or Crobat (Pokes that should only use physical attacks instead of special attacks), and Adamant Nature would be very beneficial to them, giving them a 10% increase right off the bat.
