>>55842955Yes. And somehow, shortly after I complained, I finally got raikou! Nearly out of ultraballs and max repels so I'll have to restock for entei, but I did it!
>>55842958The general idea yes, the specifics probably not.
While the strategy for locating them holds true as long as their movement still follows the same rules, the rest would not. Since hgss are gen 4 games, you've got the addition of abilities, more moves, the physical/special split, some changes to pokemon availability, plus the newer iv/ev system to consider when preparing a catcher. A fast jynx, or any sleep trapper, should work but the numbers you'd be aiming for to make sure you've got something that'll outspeed them at a reasonable level before investing in training it would be different. Not sure if the catching algorithm has changed much, if so false swipe might make more of a difference and since apricorn balls actually work now fast balls might be worth it and there's newer balls that you could use if you wait until they're available.
