I wont to know...

I want to know how & where to catch Ho-oh. Can you tell me?
:classic: :laugh: :cross-eye :sleeping: :) :disappoin :'( :knockedou :cheeky: :embarrass :tired: :pirate: :badsmile: :paranoid:

 

[Kyosuke]

You have to catch and purify all the snaggable pokemon, and beat Mount Battle, plus you must use the pokemon that you used in Colosseum, not ones that were traded after you beat the game.

 

[Latios Master]

You have to catch and purify all the snaggable pokemon, and beat Mount Battle, plus you must use the pokemon that you used in Colosseum, not ones that were traded after you beat the game.

Actually, you can use Pokemon that you traded from r/s into the story mode in Colosseum in the Mt. Battle to get Ho-oh. Also, you get Ho-oh when beating the 100th trainer in Mt. Battle, but it must be in Battle Mode. NOT in the Story Mode Mt. Battle. You get a Time Flute there.

Just here to clear up a few things. :)

 

[awkwardsilencer]

u get time flute in story before 100... but if u caught all the pokemon and purified etc. then beat the last 10 in story mode you still get him.

 

[Dirks]

where do you find cologne? (i have case)

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

You can buy them from a shop somewhere... I think it's in the city/town where you got the case from... although I'm not sure.

[Raptress]

Do you ever get a second chance with the Remoraid?

 

[+el_pal]

I believe you get a second chance at every Pokemon. I'm not sure though...

 

[dqle]

At least one more chance for every Pok?mon. Most however have unlimited chances, but there are a few who only have two chances like the Gold/Silver starter Pok?mon. I don't know the complete list.

 

[Shadow]

You have unlimited chances of catching any Pokemon. The trainers just change positions sometimes. It ook me forever to catch Suicune and Croconaw. I tried about 10 times each (I kept forgetting Croconaw was at such a low level, thus leading to it fainting from 1 of my attacks).

[Shiney]

I really need help.

On action replay, I've snagged pokemon that can't normally be snagged with a ocde, resulting in them being shadow. They can't be cured the normal way, even if you get the heart gauge to its lowest, but they can be cured with time flutes. There are three time flutes in the game, and I've got the first and second, and used the first. Is there any way to get infinite time flutes with code/trick OTHER than the one on the action repay site? That code doesn't work, it says invalid data, and it's listed under key items codes, while the curing time flute is a normal item.

If you can help me, *please* post or pm me about this. Post is better, because of my pm limit, I need to delete a lot of my messages.

 

[Kyosuke]

Well if purifying even after clearing the dark bar dousen't do it, and you have to use time flutes all the time, plus the cheat dousn't work, your only real option is to wait until another cheat is found or maybe look to see if someone on the internet has discovered one.

 

[Toothache]

Or... get them the legal way... patience is a virtue after all :-)

 

[Shiney]

Or... get them the legal way... patience is a virtue after all :-)

You can't get a scizor with silver wind legally, same for a lot of other moves on non-snaggable pokemon.

But I managed to figure out how to do it.

 

[Silver Ball]

Is there any way to get Lugia in Colosseum? Fr & Lg wont hit Europe for a long time, i've already got Ho-oh, but i want my favourite pokemon, Lugia... :(

 

[Linksocc]

Short Answer: NO
Long Answer: There are only 48 snaggable pokemon in the game, and the list is up there.

 

[mknote]

You have unlimited chances of catching any Pokemon.

Not true. You only have ONE chance at getting Togetic.

MK

 

[Daniel-Son]

Is Team Snagem Hideout just a bonus stage for snagging shadow pokemon? Because I read somewhere that Realgam Tower is the last place you have to clear to finish the game.

 

[ashrival654]

LIsten you are wasting your money on this game. Pokemon Stadium 2 Has better graphics than this. And story mode is just plain BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING
