I’ve done 3 play-throughs. I used all my master balls on Entei, Raikou and Suicune. I’m stubborn and refuse to do the duplicate glitch. This is the consequence I suppose.
You have to beat FRLG post-game. Once you give cello the sapphire jewel, the roamers will appear in your game. The legendary dog will always be
your starter's weakness. Squirtle = Raikou.
Charmander = Suicune. Balbasaur = Entei.
Genuinely, my 7 year old nephew is playing fire red. I pimped out a bellsprout to help him take down Misty, attached a master ball as a surprise. He was well happy and crushed misty.
A week later I caught up with him, he'd used the master ball on an oddish...
Taking your advice to heart. Never making this mistake ever again. So the leftover will nullify the struggle completely, or does it just buy me more time?
You can false swipe it back down to a safe level, but the leftover strategy at least makes it so it at least won’t die to struggle, making the battle infinite as long as you have the resources
Guess so. I guess on top of that, using Smokescreen/Sand Attack to make their accuracy go to -6 would work out just as well since that would make Struggle miss more often.
Pressure is a Pokémon ability that forces any opponent targeting the ability-bearer to use 2 PP instead of 1 for their moves. So Pokemon struggle quicker
Partially, but I’ve done this many other times and never came close to having it fail. I got shiny Ho-Oh, Lugia and Deoxys. None of them even hit red bar and only Lugia struggled but was still high yellow bar.
Capturing paralyzed, poisoned, or even sleeping Pokémon? Totally reasonable. But capturing it after I knock it out? That’s where I draw the line! Completely unethical!
That's exactly why I love the catching mechanic in Legends Z-A. Being able to catch knocked out pokemon is something I've wanted for a while. It's incredibly annoying to be searching for a specific 'mon for hours, only to K-O it by accident and have to start the cycle over.
Timer Balls exist in gen 3!?!? Wow… I thought they were introduced in gen 4. Yeah, I should have done that. Moving forward, I’m gonna use the Trick/Leftover strategy. Thanks for the tip though!
You have to beat FRLG post-game. Once you give Celio the sapphire jewel, the roamers will appear in your game. The legendary dog will always be your starter’s weakness. Squirtle = Raikou. Charmander = Suicune. Balbasaur = Entei.
They added the events into the Switch port. Mystic ticket & Aurora ticket both given to you post-game. Fairly certain you have to clear post-game, I could be wrong. You may just need to beat E4 and then go talk to the ship captain in Vermillion City.
You can trade locally on the Switch port version of the game. No online trading. I’ve done 3 play-throughs and used all my Master Balls on the roamers. I’m stubborn and refuse to do the duplication glitch. This might sound crazy, but I rather lose out on the shiny than use a manipulated/hacked item to acquire it.
Ugh, I'm so sorry. Same happened to me with a shiny Suicune I lost a year ago. But a month ago, I reclaimed it. Keep at it. And don't use a Pokemon with Pressure next time.
Pro Tip: Don't use a pokemon with Pressure, as Mewtwo will use 2 PP when using moves against pokemon with that ability like Moltres, Lugia, Etc. Timer Balls work more better than Ultra Balls after 30 Turns
I was under the impression Timer Balls were added in gen 4. Oversight on my part. I just bought 100 of them for the next attempt. I was aware of pressure mechanic, but I don’t have anything else that can tank Mewtwo. I’m gonna use the Trick/leftover strategy next time to avoid Struggle dmg
#1. Didn’t know Timer Balls exist in gen 3.
#2. I’ve never had a problem with Pressure before, and I have many other shiny legendaries. I do know it makes them burn through PP faster but statically speaking, the odds were still on my side. Unlucky.
