This is a very big problem for A LOT of people but no worries! I got a good idea. Okay lets say you got Pokemon Platinum and Mesprit is your 1st one to get catched. Take some time to look at where it appears whenever you turn off your DS. I don't know if its gonna be like this for platinum but in soul silver they change routes,cities,etc... every time you reset your DS. When you see a spot it will appear sometimes or a lot go there and save your game there. MAKE SURE you have a Pokemon that knows a move to make the other sleep and a move to block it from escaping. Recommended Moves and Pokemon- Gengar- Hypnosis and Mean Look + Block. Then reset your DS until it appears to your route,city, etc... and when it does show up go catch it. GET A LOT of Pokeballs cause the battle will be tough! Good Luck hope this helped.
Trapping the Pokemon isn't the only way to do it, it just makes the battle more like a normal legendary battle. I find it easier to exploit the fact that it escapes because roaming Pokemon carry their HP and status to the next encounter. This means that so long as you are faster than the legendary (or get lucky with a quick claw) you get a free hit and they don't fight back. Sure you have to find them all over again but it's not that bad, since if they leave the battle asleep with 1HP you still find them asleep with 1 HP (and because they never attack they can never wake up).
Then you just need some quick balls. Quick balls have a x4 catch rate, that's as good as a timer ball after 40 turns and twice as good as an ultra ball but it only works on the first turn.Using this method every turn is the first turn.
You will have to be on Route 7 during a storm to catch a roaming Pokemon in Pokemon White 2.
cresselia is a roaming Pokemon, to catch it you have to follow your marking map on poketch this way it will help you find it or some other roaming Pokemon. hope this helped :) PS: the roaming Pokemon are... Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mesprit, and Cresselia
After defeating the elite 4 and obtaining the national dex, talk to prof. oak in eterna city. He'll give you an upgrade and talk about the birds. Then you can track them down with the poketch (they're roaming pokemon)
1. use a master ball. 2. use the poketch map app to track the Pokemon and weaken them then use any pokeball to catch them (this takes a while)
you cant without trading. and which dog you encounter depends on which starter you choose. but you only get to catch one out of the three in the game by yourslef
you can't catch it because you already beaten the legendary
You cannot catch the legendary palkia on pokemon platinum but however you can use action replay to get it (most likely cheating)
no
try to catch your legendary. It varies on which legendary depending on what starter you chose.
you have to either catch a legendary or raise a Pokemon
cresselia is a roaming Pokemon, to catch it you have to follow your marking map on poketch this way it will help you find it or some other roaming Pokemon. hope this helped :) PS: the roaming Pokemon are... Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mesprit, and Cresselia
The only way to get Zapdos is Pal Park or Cheating-Device or a newer option is if you or someone you know has Pokemon Platinum Version then you can catch it in there. It is roaming around Sinnoh so in order to get you are going to have to catch it. An easy way to catch a legendary that is roaming is use a Max Repel when you are in same area as it because it is one of the only Pokemon you will see. Hope I helped!!!
Just catch them,you dummy!
NO you need action replay
yes. you need the national pokedex from Prof. Oak. Then you go to his house in Eterna City (it was empty before) and talk to him. by then, the legendary birds are roaming sinnoh like mespirit, and you can see them on the poketch app, marking map
you cant. You can only do that on platinum):
trade from other Pokemon games u cant catch it other wise
You can catch more legendary pokemons on platinum. So you can catch more on Platinum, then the other games :)
