Help and Advice on catching a Tarous!

[Psydaquil]

Ok, Im in the Safari Zone, and it takes liek a half hour to come across one(area 3).

I came across it 3 times!

1st time- threw Bait, it fled immedientaly.

2nd time- threw safari ball, broke out instantly and Fled.

3rd time- Threw Rock and it fled immedientaly.

So how the heck do i catch it if ever time i met it i did the something it and ran before i got another turn with it!

Please i need your help and advice, anyone who caught one, can u please tell me what method you used!

Thanks!

Well I usually just throw a ball.I don't waste my time on rocks and bait.I caught a chansey on my 4th encounter by just throwing one ball.
All it takes is luck and patience.Just be patience and you will catch it.

I also don't use rock/bait thing because I find it very unreliable. I just threw one ball and caught the Tauros.

>>now if only I could catch Kanghaskan...

Yeah, the problem with rocks and bait is that they also mess with the catching/fleeing rate. Bait makes the Pokémon less likely to flee, (but it won't stop it from fleeing) but makes it harder to catch. Rocks make the Pokémon more likely to flee, but easier to catch.

Personally, I just throw Safari Balls all the time and I don't mess around with the Bait or Rocks. I look at it this way: Bait and Rocks both have disadvantages as well as advantages, and the Pokémon may run away before you even have a chance to throw a Safari Ball. At least if you throw a Safari Ball, you will always be giving yourself a chance to catch the Pokémon.

Patience is the key with the Safari Zone, it can be very frustrating. Kangaskhan is another Pokémon that can be pretty tough to catch, as well as Chansey.

Be patient and don´t give up. Just throw Safari Balls when you see one.

You can also get one in XD BTW.
Good luck.

Thanks, I met one again the 4th time and threw a coupel balls before it fled. Then I met another and i threw one ball and caught it! I was thrilled! I guess patience is a virtue!
