Please tell me if there's literally anything I can do here more than what I'm doing or if I'm making a mistake

-Suicune is level 40, gonna use his Whirlpool to trap Entei
-I don't mind not catching it first time as long as I see him and get him on the dex, then I can focus in
-I'm going between routes 36/37 because they have grass close to where the route changes, using repel obviously with Suicune at the head of the party

This and then Ho-oh are the last two things before I'm done with the game.

I guess my questions are:

-Repels work on Pokemon of the same level, right? I'm 99% sure they do but it'd be pretty funny if I had that wrong at this point
-Is there anything extra I'm missing here? I tried for hours.
-Anyone know if Entei and Raikou run on a particular set route? If they do, then I have to keep buying repels. If they don't, I can just reload my save.

Roar. One Roar, Entei is gone forever.

Entei at your own risk.

I mean, it's not gone forever? I can just find it again?

Dunno about Save/Reload, but it'll be randomized and reset every time you, fly/teleport, so yeah if you're having bad luck just reload and do that.

If Entei used Roar while trapped in the Whirlpool, he is gone forever.

I did a google and it looks like that is indeed exclusive to FRLG but if you know otherwise let me know

Do you not have anything with sleep powder? Or hypnosis? I know it's not 100% accuracy but if it hits it's still a couple free turns to do damage/try to catch

Don't they still run even if they're asleep?

I'm not training a Gastly to the appropriate level

Like I said I'm fine with him just appearing one time

You could catch a noctowl with hypnosis. I don't think it would make sense for them to run while sleeping, I think it's the status like burn/prz/psn that they can still run from.

But if you're just trying to see it, well...good luck.

No idea on the "running the same route" but for repels, pokemon of teh same or higher level will still appear.

I did find this on the internet but I don't know of its validity: - Do NOT use repel as stated in other tip methods and manual. A legendary's sighting is based on battle percentage (e.g. 1 in 20 chance of appearing). If you use a repel, you lower the chances of a battle itself, so the chance of seeing a legendary is lower. In 6 years of having the game, I have seen these two Pokemon loads. I mostly see them around these areas:
Entei - Frequently hangs around Route 34 (Goldenrod), Route 29 (New Bark Town) and Route 38 (Olivine City)
Raikou - Tends to hang around Route 34 (Goldenrod), Route 30/31 (CherryGrove City) and Route 29 (New Bark Town)

That sounds vaguely familiar, and I definitely remember Route 38 being a key spot on my finding of them back in the day

That advice sounds like mumbo-jumbo, but really all strategies are probably equally effective and so I wish you luck.

Yeah, for me it was Routes 37 and 38. Them being connected to Ecruteak helped a lot.

More of a coding oversight, whoever did it forgot that there are other ways for a wild Pokemon to escape.
