i have a question. is there a easy way to find suicune as i have spent days looking for it and have wasted loads of max repels.

any help would be apresiated

Well, finding it is the hard part, now that you have found the Raikou all you have to do is encounter it again. To make it do quicker try flying to a centrally located place, such as Saffron City, and if Raikou is close, walk outside to the closest route, and see if Raikou moves to that route. If Raikou is farther away, just Fly back to Saffron City again. When you move to a new route, Raikou will only move to a route next to it, but if you use Fly, it will randomly appear at any route. When you finally get to the same route as Raikou, to find it quickly you could put a Level 50 Pokemon in the lead spot and use Repels. Try using a Wobbuffet as your lead Pokemon. I know that it is difficult to control how much damage you do with a Wobbuffet, but you should be able to get Raikou's HP down to a reasonable amount. Plus, Wobbuffet's Shadow Tag will keep the Raikou from running away. Give your Wobbuffet Leftovers for healing support if you have them. Also, it will help you to buy some Timer Balls, you can buy them on Island 2.
That post was two posts above yours. Look more carefully before posting a question.

Well, I managed to get it into the red with my Dragonite and Pigeot (flying does less damage against Electric, which helps me control my damage output), then paralyzed it with my Dragonite since I lack an actual sleeper. Now I'm chasing it around with Dugtrio as my lead. Arena Trap keeps Raikou from running, and its ground type makes only Quick Attack do damage. The only problem now is whenever it does use Quick Attack, since the Dugtrio is only lvl 29, and I have to save before fighting in case it uses Roar.

I swear to God, after I Dongle all of these Pokemon over and start again, I'm just going to use my Master Ball on the beast and take my chances against Mewtwo; level 70 or not, at least I don't have to track it down without the Map Marker Poketch app...

Q1: The slot machines? If so, it's based on luck. But some machines tend to pay out more than others (it just depends on your game. Also, you can save before you play and shut off if you end up with less than you started with.
Q2: I don't personally, I suck too much :p But I'm sure some people do.
Q3: In 3rd gen, Psychic, Thunderpunch, Fire Punch, and Ice Punch works great if you can breed.
Q4: In-game your team really doesn't matter. Just base it around what you like if it doesn't totally suck. If you dislike Pidgeot, just remove him for a Pokemon you like more. Just be sure to give it a logical moveset (take advantage of its natural stats, STAB, and maybe support moves if appropriate)

OK, I finally captured Raikou after being Roared away on at least 5 separate occasions, so now I have about 22 Pokemon to Dongle over to my Pearl Cart, which will take me 4 days or so. Now, my dilemma now is, which Starter should I pick for my next run through? I have baby Charmander and Bulbasaur on my Pearl cart already, so there's no real priority rush there. I'm leaning more towards Charmander right now, as I already raised Bulbasaur on my very first run through my Blue cartridge many years ago, plus I've never actually chosen the Fire starter before. What's everybody's opinions?

This thread for that, please. But you can just choose whichever you like best... ionno.

Legit?

Hi. I checked around and I'm pretty sure this is the right thread for this.

I was at the old Pokemon Rocks America (or whatever it's called) event a year or two ago, and someone traded me a Celebi. It was from either Fire Red or Leaf Green, and I want to know if it's legit. Here are the details:

Name: CELEBI (no nickname, I assume)
OT: KURT
ID: 32618
Came with a Lum Berry
Caught in a Master Ball
I think it came at Lv. 5.

It has the normal ability, moveset and stats for a Celebi. In fact, everything about it matches the description in the Dex entry on Serebii. However, since someone traded it to me, I can't be entirely sure whether it's legit or not; and I DID check the Event-Pokemon list on Serebii, and I couldn't find anything matching the description. Do you think it's legit?

It is not legit at all. The only legit English Celebi is the 10ANIV one.

Given that it's in a Master Ball, I'm quite sure it's not legit. IIRC most event Pokemon come in a Cherish Ball, and the OT is usually a special name (for example, GameStop Deoxys's OT is GAMESTP).

I believe it's set when you get the National Dex, so if it is, then you can.

Nothing affects your chances of getting a shiny in the 3rd gen. It's always 1/8192.
 

shiny bagon

<- OH **** YEA!!!!!
i know the odds but the numbers they chose are from 3 random and 1 from your trainer card then they either add all them and it has to be lower than 8 or all them have to be lower then 8 idk
