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 don't have to use master ball. you cannot expect to capture it when you see it so stfu please. relax and be patient. they will always run on first turn if you dont use mean look. next step would be to make it sleep with red bar hp. you can use any ball but the best would be better like ultra ball. i prefer to save masterball. i actaully used fast ball on them and it took like 5-15 balls and involving more than 1 battle. and this will work on any legendary pokemon , they ARE VERY hard to catch. so dont think 1 ultra will work. you should make it sleep and/or other symptoms for the BEST result and if you dont wanna do that all then use masterball
I caught Raikou on Heart Gold with a great ball, full status and HP. Encountered him by accident and thought what the hell, hes just gonna run anyway. So I threw it and it caught him, legit. I had heard of a 'cheat' back in the Red and Blue days that holding 'Down' & 'B' when throwing balls and acts as masterball, doubt its true but its just become a ritual for me now when throwing balls. Good luck.
I caught Entei on my first try with an ultraball, but I would reccomend reducing their hp first, then flying to eucreak city until it appears nearby. if its hp is low, then start spamming ultraballs whenever you see it. It's all just a matter of luck, so just hoard ultra balls. Or quickballs. Or fastballs.

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!!!!
Just so you know a Ghastly evolution would be a Haunter. Ghastly, Haunter, then Gengar. If you are in Ecruteak City and you use fly wait for Entei or Raikou to be on the left or right of the city. Routes 38 and 42. Keep flying back to the town til they are on those routes and they wont switch until you go south. or fly to another town or battle them. Just a little easier then some of this stuff I've read from others. I have had better chances with Fast Balls. I caught my Entei that way.
You CAN catch them without masterballs. I have Entei and caught him with a fast ball.
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 dont have to use a master ball cause i caught it on a ultra ball thanks to my ampheros that got it paralyzed it takes 3 ultra balls unless you do a glitch that you tap on the pokeball on the skrenn 2x before a rock
Actually, it is possible for a master ball to fail. It happens, but it is extremely rare, even rarer than finding a wild shiny!

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
I've tried that. They both have about 1 HP left, and they wont shake in any kind of ball I throw: poke ball, great ball, ultra ball, heavy ball, nest ball(with my level 75 ace, of course), net ball, and many more. None of them shake once.
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!!
I used my master ball on HO-OH. I had a harder time catching Articuno. Mewtwo was hardly a problem for me.

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.
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
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
The way I caught both follows: 1. Catch a good level 13 gastly and leave in the daycare. 2. Plug your DS in over night and leave it open. 3. That Pokemon should be about level 30. 5. Buy about 15 ultra balls 6. Open the pokegear 7. Find one or the other 8. Make sure that Gastly is first in your party 9. Use curse 10. Wait a day before going back to the same one 11. Encounter it again 12. It will be on red health 13. Use hypnosis and chuck some balls 14.totally dominate with your new legendary.
I do recommend NOT using fly, because they will literally be on the opposite end of the map...but what I do is look at your map...if they are way away from you, take your precious walking time (Or biking time, whatever works.) to Ecruteak City (The city with the Geishas and the radio tower.) and walk to either 38 or 42 routes! If they don't show up close or there at all in those areas, run back and fourth between them until one of the two show up...now for catching, what I did was level up my Misdrevus and use mean look, then confuse ray, so they have a chance of harming themselves rather than your pokemon. I used every pokeball type in my inventory so I can't really help you with that....
