Houndour Blues

Hello all, I'm having trouble catching ;228; Houndour in the Safari Zone in Emerald. It is rare and when I do find it, it runs away after throwing two Safari Balls at it. I need help catching it, because I want to use it in my new Sapphire Team, which if I catch it, I will use in my Sapphire. So any tips on how to catch him, since he is so hard to find and catch. I appreciate any help.

same thing as with chansey on fr/lg
although houndours arent as hard to snag..
butyeh. id just keep throwing balls until it finally gets caught.

I like mangos!
Throw some pokeblocks. They make it less likely to run.

Thanks for the advice all. I have trouble with ;113; Chansey too and also ;128; Tauros on my FR. I'll try later once I've done my homework.

Sorry to double post, but just an update, I caught ;228; Houndour. After five Safari Balls without pressing any buttons to try and make the ball catch it, I caught it. Thank you all and Mods can close this topic.
