Catching Raikou and Entei

Catching Raikou and Entei

I've tried many times catching Raikou and Entei, but they won't stay in a single pokeball I chuck at them! They're currently at 1 HP, and are Paralyzed. I use my lv. 90 Wobbuffet to prevent them from running,but they keep using "Roar" to scare me off. Plus I've tried the Quick Ball, Fast Ball, Heavy ball, Level Ball, Ultra Ball, Great Ball, etc. But they keep breaking out of it without even shaking. Raikou and Entei are lv. 40, and my Wobbuffet is Lv. 90, so the level ball should be working, but it always fails. Any tips on how to catch these guys?

go to any city that has a route like ecutreak and run in and out the city and route and entei and raikou might be close so take your bike and ride in the grass to encounter them if its possible if their roar misses then use disable and keep throwing any pokeball at them and it might work.

you can only catch them with a master balls i have suicune raikuo and entei a seceret to getting them is to store all your pokemon in another persons pc box then restart the other person has to allow it though and a warning before you do your pokemon will disobey you till you have the right gym badge good luck!!!!

If you've already seen Raikou and Entei, check the map on the pokegear to find where they are. Also I hold down B select to help catch pokemon most of the time.

first, you have to get all 8 badges, then go to new bark city, next, go into the lab, talk to proffeser elm, he gives you a master ball, now you can choose to go to etreak city and fight ho-oh in that tower, and the guy next to the tower will let you through, go up all levels, reach the top, theres ho-oh. or u can use it to catch enti.(remmber, master ball does not fail, at all, so you have on chance and one chance only)

You can use a masterball like they say or you can take your time use the masterball on mewtwo (I highly recommend) go for more of the sleeping method as soon as you see them. once they are asleep then weaken and them keep them asleep and use balls like timer balls from Kurt those will help

if this help just let me know with a comment

It's all about chance and luck. Trust me. I've already caught Raikou and he had full hp!

with time and luck i cought entei and latias with a poke ball no cheats full hp

Try to put it to sleep first whith a drowzee and use a net ball but if that dosent work gel an electric type and paralyze raikou or entei

Ive got entei with a ultra it's just raikou now DO NOT PARALYSE RAIKOU he will get stronger because he is an eletric type I paralysed him by accident do not make the same mistake oh and I heard throwing a luxury ball and rapidly pressing A works

You can weaken them slowly over time, get down to a slice of RED on the health bar, then use Ultraball

I figured, just buy like 100 ultra balls and keep trying until you get them. Its all in the luck of the draw

I recommend a lv 39 dugtrio with arena trap ability, keep throwing ultra balls when it's at low hp and pray it doesnt use f***ing roar.

Use mean look so they carn't escape then use hypnosis so they carn't use roar then just keep using a ultra ball and you will catch them and trust me it works I have both of them including suicune, latias and latios

I used block with my snorlax changed to dratini and paralyzed it then it fled.. But the next time I used block again, lowered enteis hp to yellow and caught it one shot with fast ball.. But in all the times I've played heart old and the older gold and silver I never had any dramas with catching entei.. It was the other two I usually cbf like right this second suicune is not staying in any of the balls I throw at it >:Z lolol and id agree with using master ball for mewtwo.. Wish I hadve!!

Woo!! Just caught suicune with a pokeball.. After using 3xfastballs, 6pokeballs, 8xgreat balls, 12x ultra balls and a bunch of dusk net and quick balls hahaha.. Cheering.. So I actually do believe in chance and luck in what ball you use to catch them with.. In running into them in the first place, I basically stayed in ecruteak taking one step out of it n back in works for me.. Its the town that has better access to olivine n goldenrod routes.. And it also seems with everyone you catch the other (obv.not suicune) seem to move ALOT faster!!

all you need to do is have a party of strong Pokemon (I recomend levels 80 and up) that have a move that just adds your attack or something. Keep using that move until you only have 1 Pokemon left and then use a timer ball. Works like a working charm.

Umm I think it works if you use a quick ball on raikou it took me one time

Every time you move to a different route/city they will move to different ones to hope this helped

Every time you throw a pokeball a number between 1 and 265 is.generated. If rhe number is higher than the catch rate then the catch fails. If the number is lower than the catch rate then the pokeball shackes

Use the ar code for unlimited masterballs and run in to it and throw one or use meanlook and throw pokeballs (ultraballs) I reccomend you do the the second one because if you don't have ar the first one is kind of hard. Hope I helped !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was riding a bike in grass and entei appeared. It didn't have full hp, so I just threw one ultra ball and entei stayed in. I´ve been trying to catch it like forever! I guess I was just lucky.

I caught Entei with a fast ball on full health the first time I encountered it. Heartgold was my first Pokemon game so I didnt know whan it was. When I realised what I did I was like :D try fast balls

I put entie to sleep and he has 1 hp left and fleds after I attack him my feraligator is at lvl 100 and I used lvl balls but they don't catch him.

If you want to really catch them then get one of your Pokemon to learn mean-look and make sure you have plenty of poke-balls.

In heartgold it's really simple to catch them. I have caught Entei and Raikou with only 4 badges and 'weak' Pokemon, without any problems.

1) The best way to encounter them is from Ecruteak City. Go there. If Raikou/Entei are at route 38/42 you can go to that route without they will switch routes themselves. If they are not, just walk between route 37 and Ecruteak City until they are at route 37/38/42.
2) First make sure they have a good nature (Raikou: Timid/Modest - Entei: Timid/Modest/Adamant). You can only catch them once so they have to be good! You can do this by obtaining 'Synchronize Abra' in Goldenrod City Game Corner (for 200 coins). It costs a bit of time but is really usefull! Collect 1000 coins, save and turn off the power until you've got the right Abra nature and ability.
Make sure your first encounter with Raikou/Entei is with the right Abra. So they have a 50% chanse of being the 'right' nature
3) After that, make them weaker (reduce HP) and make sure they have a status problem. Best option is making them sleep. (Gastly: Hypnosis - Other: Sleep Powder - ...) They will flee after each attack but from Ecruteak you encounter them a lot so this don't cost you much time.
4) Catch a Wobbufet with ability 'Shadow Tag'. You can find him in the Dark Cave. You can catch him from Route 31 when you have 'Surf'. Now Raikou/Entei can't flee anymore. When the're asleep, you have a lot of chanses to catch them. Alternative: Gastly/Haunter/Gengar: Mean look.
5) If you haven't catched them with Wobbufet, turn off the power and retry. Use Great/Ultraballs are special balls to catch them.
6) Bit of luck
