So here's day 2's update! Day 1's valiant fighting culminated in this:
And many ultraballs later, this: + Show Spoiler +if you don't know what roar is, it makes you flee
For full account of the business (very exciting adventures too with live captoins) visit day 1: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=74984
I've gotten Suicune to sleep w/ 1hp when battling yet I still used like 30 balls, so by analogy, Raikou would be just as much as a bitch to catch. And if I can only throw maybe 2,3 balls at him per battle, it might be a good idea to just try to figure out exactly how Raikou runs around the map. Once I had that figured out,I can just battle him one after another.
edit: Just to get u guys up to date. I do not have a master ball(used on Entei), I do not want to use stat save cheat, and I do enjoy chasing Raikou all over the place (a more realistic feel, makes game fun. I intend to play the game as the designers intended). I've had Raikou to 1hp on false swipe, now only need to catch it.
|
Glitch Master-balls, thats all I did, and look how i turned out to be
|
Damn I don't think there is a parttern to this lol... I keep using fly to Mahogany town over and over and here's the trace....
|
holy shit.. isnt this like pokemon gold?
|
Wee!!
Aha! I bet he's gonna flee...
yepe it fled as usual
|
Yeah apparently I need meanlook and thundershock on the SAME pokemon... Raikou recovers from status ailments each new battle so I can't keep him thunderwaved for more than 1 battle which is useless!
Anyways I got him again
Ah fucker poped the ball and roared me.
|
Have you tried using a Fast Ball? I don't know if those help or not, but I caught a Suicune with only 2 lure balls (after false swipe and sleep)
|
i remember when silver came out ... i made an excel spreadsheet to determine their roaming pattern
it's nearly random -_-

I'm trying to see if my old Haunter is up for it now, he has a mean look and hypnosys so I think it's actually better as paralyze won't last till nxt battle...

it's nearly random -_- You did! That's very admirable. Any tips though?
Only pattern I thought about is this: If it's on route 43, head toward lake of rage or route 42, and vice versa. Never go toward it. Go to the route nxt to it maybe works.

it's nearly random -_- lol that was foolish. you know its random (or no chance in hell), when you turn on/off the game and its at a different location.
|
ya i just know that they go to a place very close to their last position every time you change 'maps'
and i made that spreadsheet for any any ANYYYYYYY hint haha
|
The fastest way to encounter Raikou is to be next to two routes or a city and a rout. Once you take a step to on side, they dog will move position. Once you take a step to the other side, it will move again. Continue doing this until both you and the dog are in the same route.
Isn't there like a pokemon not affected y roar? must suck not to have Poke Abilities, but its worth it.
|
^ Yeah that's bout the only trick I know too... So far if I can force him to go to lake of rage's route I can dart either lft or right and chances are I'll see it. I've met it like 10+ times on route 42 w/ this method but still no catch lol T_T
|
Alrite! the chances are as good as ever! SLEEP AND MEAN LOOKED!
Now time to throw mah ball(i'd have to wait a day for fast ball)!! HERE GOES!~!!
|
LOLOL it woke up and used quick attack ofc to no effect!! And I put him back to sleep again! gogo balls!
UGH! He won't get in dammit!
|
|
Oh shit, this was an epic tale of a boy and his pokemon.
