Ranger Tips

This is a thread giving tips on the Pokemon in Ranger. Each tip I will put on this post, and credit the person that gave the tip. I hope this helps a lot of people!


Mew
by me
Use the Shedinja from the outside of the Jungle Ruins. Mew won't teleport, or do any of his tricks so quickly due to Shedinja's ghost assist.

Rayquaza
by me
Use a Gengar from the place housing Espeon and Umbreon. Rayquaza will use his wind attack, and sometimes the mouth bombing attack, but with enough speed and the ghost assist, you will win in a few tries.

Any Pokemon
by the Thrashmeister
When a Pokemon is affected by a Poke assist (anything that stops it from moving), when you attempt to capture it, don't lift your stylus from the screen. It'll void the effects of the Assist and you'll have to do it again, and it can end up being a waste of Poke Assists. Once you start circling an immobile Pokemon, don't stop until it breaks free or until you capture it.

Charging Pokemon
by Lord Umbreon
if a pokemon is a charging one ex(donphan) tap the screen so it charges at nothing then before its attack ends start to circle it

Groudon
by me
Use a Poliwrath to form bubbles, trap it in one, circle him until captured, and viola!

Kyogre
by me
Shock it with Plusle/Minun when the waves stop, so it can't summon any more, and it will have a longer paralysis time due to Electric > Water. Capture it in this time

<-- Made of awesome.
For any Pokemon (does this count?): When a Pokemon is affected by a Poke assist (anything that stops it from moving), when you attempt to capture it, don't lift your stylus from the screen.

Thanks for the tips. I have some more as well:

Groudon:

Kyogre:
