    Please post all the guides possible or links to good sites on catching the legendary dogs.


    P.S:I already have Raikou so just help me with Suicune and Entei in gold version.
     
    My advice is use repels to keep away weaker foes then if your in the same area as one of the beasts you will encounter it within minutes. try to put it to sleep and chip down its hp,then throw your ultra balls and hope for the best. good luck.
     
    The easiest way to catch them if you have already seen them, but not caught them yet. is to save on a route (any route will do). Put a fast Pokémon with Mean look or Sleep powder/Hypnosis/Stunspore/Thunderwave in the lead spot. Then load from your save file and check the beast's location in the Pokédex, if it isn't on the same route as you, just reload (their position will change every time you load) untill it's on the same route as you. Remember to stack up on Fast balls and Ultra balls too.

    Stunspore, Mean look or Thunderwave wouldn't be effective, the dogs can use roar you know. But just go around the routes,(This is if you havn't seen them) and walk around a route for about 5 minutes while using a max repel, no luck? Next route, and keep doing that, it worked for me.
     
    If you have seen them before, buy Max Repel, Ultra balls, Great balls... Get 2 pokemon, one that has sleep powder and is below Lv. 40 holding a Quick Claw and a Goldbat from Silver cave... Make sure that the pokemon with the Sleep powder move is the first on your party... When you are in the route where the dogs are, use the max repel... Then, when Entei or Suicune appears, use your Sleep powder in order to make them sleep... After this procces, switch to Goldbat and use Mean look, weaken it until it reaches to red and try catching it with Ultra balls a few times... If it dosn't work use the great balls until you catch it... But beware, they may use Roar and your plan will be ruined... If that happens, use the same procces until you reach your goal...
     
    I ended up using my precious masterball on one of them, then duplicated it and traded it to my friends for theirs. Using a master ball means having to catch the level 70 bird with an ultra ball, but at least the birds don't run away. ^^
    Anyway, that's the easiest solution in my opinion. Just wait until you see one and throw the master ball. Of course, if you DO do the duplicate cheat you can always duplicate your master ball and catch all three with it...
     
    It's more better to be fare and square than to be a cheater... It's not fare to keep on cheating... Doing the hard way, makes more fun and enjoyable...
     
    i think if u have crystal, u can catch suicune at the towers.

    I agree with you on that. I usually put them to sleep and then lower their stats. Finally I just try to catch it but the Pokemon that is putting that legi to sleep has to be faster than the legi. Stock up on a lot of Poke balls and get the special poke balls that Kurt makes for you.

    True, true. Well, you could still do the masterball thing. That's fair since you will end up having to use an ultra ball against Lugia or Ho-oh.
     
    Well, in Gold you can duplicate items. Of course, you might not want to do it that way. :P In any case, Lugia is insanely hard to get at Lv 70 (for me anyways,) so you might not even want to use the legitimate Master Ball on one of the beasts.

    Anywho, to encounter them, I'd go to two adjacent Routes like the two West of Ecruteak by the Moomoo farm, or the two south of Ecruteak. Get twenty or so Max Repels and a Pokemon in the high 30s. Save on one side of the division between two routes, use a Max Repel, and walk around. Once it's used up, use another. When that one's sone, cross over to the next Route and use two more, then back to the Route you started on, use two more...ect. If you run out, just turn the game off and do it again. You should run into one of them within the fifth try.

    Now that you have data, you can encounter then again faily easily. Remember that every time you enter a building, leave a building, or enter/leave a route/city, their location changes. Go to Mahogany because it is surrounded by three routes that they tend to visit often, and two of the three routes do not have guardhouses that force their locations to change twice when you try to approach them. Check your Pokedex and if they're about two routes away, head toward them hoping that they'll move toawrd you and you'll end up in the same route. Or if they're only one route away, head to one of the other routes surrounding the town. This method worked immensely well for me.

    Get a buttload of Ultra Balls, at least 10 Heavy and Fast Balls, and if you've beat the game and have a Level 60+ Pokemon, some Level Balls as well. First get something in the level 35-40 range with False Swipe that is very fast (Scyther works nicely, but give it the Quick Claw just in case.) After several encounters, you'll get them to 1 HP.

    Now is the hard part. On your next encounter you could just toss a ball the second it shows up, but that doesn't work too well. Get a fast Pokemon under level 40 with a sleep move and give it the Quick Claw. The second you see the beast, use the sleep move. If you get the first turn and you can get it asleep before it runs away, start tossing Ultra, Heavy, or Fast Balls. OR, switch to a very high level Pokemon and use Level Balls. If it wakes up before you catch it, you may have another chance to put it to sleep before it runs away. Several times, Entei actually battled me for a few turns before running away. It's all luck though--if it leaves, just run into it again.

    Hope that helps.

    That hardly helps...

    Anyway, you could've just searched on Google or something. How hard can it be to find a guide?

    It is kind of hard if they aren't giving you the right advice. You should go on video game websites or you can find out your own method. If not or very desprite then get a cheating device, but that will be very bad and wrong

    I find that using Max Repels doesn't work. When I used them I didn't run into the Legendary Pokemon, but when it wore off they were about the 3rd or 4th Pokemon I ran into. What I suggest is to get a Gastly, Haunter or Gengar, teach it Mean Look, Hypnosis and some other move to drain Suicune or Entei's energy. When you run into one of them use Mean Look so that it doesn't run away (with the exception of if the first battle move it uses is Roar), and then use Hypnosis to put it to sleep before it uses Roar on you. Then drain its energy as much as you can. When you've done all of that, start chuckin'. I hope that wasn't too much of a long-winded explanation for you. My friends and I find that it is an effective way to catch them fair and square. Usually the hardest part for us is just finding them.
     
    If Max Repels don't work, then you are doing something wrong. The whole purpose of MR is to prevent encounters with lower level Pokes, allowing you to encounter the Legendary "Dogs" much quicker. In order for that to work, your first Poke needs to be a higher level than the regular wild Pokes in the area, but NOT higher level than the "Dog" you are looking for. If you have a Lv80 Gengar at the front of your team, and use MR, obviously the only Pokes you will encounter will be Lv80 or higher, which will happen NEVER. Use a Poke that is Lv39 and you will do well, not to mention the fact that it can then handle the "Dog" you are searching for.
     
    So while getting that level 39 Pokemon make sure that its fast and it has some type of spore to put to sleep (ONLY). Or that dog will run away.
