I just caught Raikou in Fire Red, and I am very mad. Let me just say that the IV that ISN'T 1 is HP. Why would the game **** me over this much? Unfortunately, I saved after seeing it, so I'm stuck with the crappiest Raikou ever created.
 
For some reason, the running legends have a habit of having horrific IVs.

Most people catch the Colleseum one repeatedly.

oh well why didnt you check the iv before you saved?
 
Actually, the IVs and nature of the runners are preset the moment you start the game.

I know this, because I caught Latios about three times, checking his stats each time, and resetting, as he had a bad nature, and horrible IVs. He had the same IVs and nature every time, and I had never spotted him previously.
 
Yeah
get Collouseam and get them there.
Pretty easy if you ask me.
My Suicune's IV was stupid too. >.<
 
Well, I just needed to get that off my chest. I'm happy now b/c I just hatched a Staryu with near-perfect IVs in 4 stats (HP, Sp Att, Sp Def, Spd) :D. Unfortunately, it's Docile, but I'm breeding it with a Ditto to hopefully get a Modest Staryu with good IVs.
 
Rakurai, I am pretty sure that only the shininess of the Pokemon are preset.

Well, I fail to see why you seem to care so much? I mean, maybe if you used a bit of talent (granted that you had some) and, trained it a bit, it would still be pretty strong.

I mean, I wouldn't throw a huge fit over it. Infact, had it happened to me, I wouldn't even be surprised due to the fact that it's a legendary. And, since it happens to be one, the odds of it being a 'good one' is pretty slim considering how the entire chance of being lucky in the game is very slim itself.

So, I don't know. I would just be pleased that I caught it. :/

By the way, you ask "Why would the game **** me over this much?". Well, I don't know, but, to me, it seems like the game makes a priority in doing this... Just for the sake of challenge maybe? I don't know. Or maybe they just like to toy with our emotions, because, they know it's easy to do.
 
I always get a ;243; with bad DV's whenever I look for it in Fr/Lg. Once I got a Timid and I was hoping for good IV's and then they were all 10 and lower!
 
I don't freakin' care about IV's. Just natures. It's fine if it has a good nature. It can be an Adamant Gardevoir with perfect IV's and... I'll settle for a Modest one with all of its IVs at 1. So just be happy. You don't have to train it.
 
Dogs always have bad natures, IVs.... My friend cought an Adamant suicune. He likes them so much that he started new game in fire red and cought a lax one, they both suck.
 
I'd rather restart over to get a decent legendary I want. I'm restarting FR so I can actually get a decent Suicune with Bold (hopefully) nature and decent IVs. If I can't get Bold I'll settle for anything that reduces Atk, or even worse, neutral natures.

The Modest Raikou I caught on LG got pretty crappy IVs: bit of a disappointment, but still usable ingame.
 
You'd have to have a lot of time on your hands, if you restarted the whole entire game just to get a certain Pokemon that may not be what you've wanted. To me, it's never made a difference. I've never looked at IV's or natures, or any of that, so... I don't know.
