where can I catch Latio or Latias?

[pokecenter]

hey all
I heard rumors that I can catch Latio and Latias in one of islands south of the city where the harbor is (the first barbor city you meet)... I have the code and I use cheat to get there, but because it's a cheat so the screen doesn't show up right, for example, I can walk in the water, but I can't walk in the grass, because of the screen shifted!
now, Pokemasters.net states that Latio and Latias can be caught randomly in the game after beating the Elite 4, but I haven't seen one so far, so does anyone have any tip?
thanks:D

It's the same as the dog/cats in G/S...They'll find YOU. So you have to be patient at first.

[pokecenter]

I don't think so, this is what I heard:
There is a small South Island DIRECTLY under Route 133 and 134, you can't Surf to there, because it's far under the route (just like Battle Tower), but I heard that you can ACTUALLY catch Latios/Latias in that island, when you meet certain requirements, which I am trying to get to, you will be able to take ship to that island, and enter a small forest, where there is a stone, use pokemon #123 talks to the stone and Latios/Latias will descend... it's level is 50!
I actually have been that island (by using cheat), this web site has some info about it
http://www.pokemonstation.tk
so I would like to know if anyone really meets Latios/Latias WITHOUT using cheats!
thanks!:D

I think one of them is obtained randomly while the other is obtained through infinity ticket (only legal way to get it is at a convention).

[pokecenter]

so does anyone ACTUALLY catch or meet one of these?:D

[EspeonGuy]

d'oh :rolleyes:

I caught Latios already. I met him and caught him in the same route :D that was a LONG chase tho. ;\

wow.. so that is da way you catch other Lati's! I'm oughta check it out. XD

[SiyKo75]

why must you use #123 as Zanguusu only appears in the Ruby games unless you trade or cheat.

I read wanna get to those islands. I also want to ask how often Latios appears in Ruby as I met him and as soon as I tried to fight he fled. I hope I haven't lost him and have to cheat to get him. I was also dissapointed by his level (40). After campturing a Level 70 Rekuuza not long after beating the Elite 4 I was expecting something rather special.

Oh well

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: to the max.

LATIOS/LATIAS ARE LIKE SUICUNE/ENTEI/RAIKOU IN GOLD AND SILVER!!!!!

heard me? That means: You found Latios. And he fled. Now he's hiding somewhere else in Houen. (see @ your Pokedex)

You have to chase him down, beat up until he is barely alive and has a status condition (SLP recommended, PSN/BRN unrecommended). Then, get him.

Or just get him down with a Master Ball if you please. :I

[Azura Stardust]

Yeah, and the thing is it's harder now because you can find Latis on water! I found my Latios while on the way to Rekkuzza's tower...

If you ask me keep your Masterball for the Lati's. Rekkuzza is easy enough if your pokemon are lv 60+ and one of them has Hypnosis or Thunder Wave. get an ice move and lower it down to low HP... and always keep trying to throw Ultra Balls etc :] because Lati's is harder, there's SO MANY PLACES TO SEARCH! might as well throw one masterball and get done with it, right :D?

[SiyKo75]

unfortunatly I used my Masterball on Groudon as I never knew about the rest of the things in Ruby, I thought the Elite 4 was the end. Also I've never had the patience to play GSC/RBY past the Elite Four to discover all the extra's and stuff as I guess the graphics and sound got on my nerves and I never really bothered with the Legendaries in GSC.

Right, must dash *runs off to kick Latios' behind*

*also not that I couldn't catch Rekkuuza using Ultra Balls and after about 200 attempts or reloading I just used 2 normal Pokéballs and caught him :P *

See this movie (http://members.lycos.co.uk/pokefor/meowth346/clips/SouthIsle.zip)

[EspeonGuy]

hahe good idea. for me all legends r sitting and dying of boredom in Ultra Balls. ^^;

except for Latios who is having fun @ Battle Tower hahahahaha!

I missed my Mball, I could of save it on Latios.. but this makes it fair XP

[vitortomita]

Does Latias learn whirlwind/roar/something with the same effect?

[Powarun]

Well I caught Latias in my Saphhire. I was just wansering around. Then I restarted and after I caught Rez i saw her again am i lucky.

[Azura Stardust]

No I believe they come with Psychic, Refresh/Raster Purge and some attacks. No WW or Roar. So if you see em once, you can ready a Mean Looking Something the next time and as soon as they pop out, Release Monsterballs Like There's No Tommorrow, Yesterday or Today.

[Strider Azure]

The best way, is to forget about them, and they'll come to you when you expect it the least. Just make sure you bring enough ultra ball though.

[pokecenter]

again... I still believe that you can't catch Latios and Latias just like Suicune, Entei, and Raikou in Gold/Silver... Here is the correct proof to my theory
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/event/mugen2.html
I found this in Pokemon Japan Official site, I believe the information is correct (because it's from the official site)
I bet this page will surprise you all!
enjoy!:D

[LatiasLover]

Well what does te site say?

[pokecenter]

well... I don't read Japanese... but I know Chinese so I have ability to understand a little bit!
I think the screen shots should be enough to convince that Latios/Latias can be caught in the way I desceibe... Also I notice that when you take the ship in the harbor... it used to be a female receptionist that let you go to the ship... but in the screen shot, it's is a male!
I mean it's true that Latios/Latias can be caught only this way... others that states that they catch Latios/Latias probably use cheat to catch these legendary Pokemon to show how great they are (sorry, I mean no offerse)...
I think people here should accept the fact that what I said is correct!!! because it's base on the most accurate Pokemon information from Pokemon Japan OFFICIAL site... and the person who creates Pokemon is Japanese not Americans:D

[LatiasLover]

Yah I don't like using cheats to get Pokemon. Well, I'm working on getting Latias now.
