{{bp|Scyther}} is a good Pokémon to use, because its False Swipe attack will take down enemy's health to 1HP, then miss every attack thereafter. You can find a Scyther in [[../National Park/]]. You can also use a low level Pokémon and the normal Tackle skill. Use level 20 to 25 Pokémon, because their Tackle skill will bring down the enemy's health from 1HP to 10HP per attack. You don't know how much HP the Legendary Beast has, so just get its HP down into the red. If you can leave just a little red on its health bar, it will be much easier to catch it. | {{bp|Scyther}} is a good Pokémon to use, because its False Swipe attack will take down enemy's health to 1HP, then miss every attack thereafter.

You need few Ultra Balls as well. It's hard to find these balls, but you can buy them in [[../Blackthorn City/]]. You can get to Blackthorn City by following the [[../Ice Path/]]. At Blackthorn City, buy 20 to 30 balls before trying to catch a Legendary Beast | You need few Ultra Balls as well. It's hard to find these balls, but you can buy them in [[../Blackthorn City/]].

Before you go into battle, make sure you line up your Pokémon party. The first Pokémon should know the Flash skill, like {{bp|Magnemite}} or its second evolved form, {{bp|Magneton}}. Use either Weepinbell or Tangela for your second Pokémon, either Scyther or any low level Pokémon with Tackle. Save your data at [[../Tin Tower/]] on your way to the fight. | Before you go into battle, make sure you line up your Pokémon party.

During the fight, use Flash first to reduce the Legendary Beast's accuracy. Do this up to five turns until it says its accuracy won't drop any further. Then switch to your second Pokémon and put it to sleep. At this point, your goal is get the Beast's HP down into the red with your third Pokémon. If you get its HP down this low and it's asleep, it will be much easier to capture. | During the fight, use Flash first to reduce the Legendary Beast's accuracy.

Then start chucking Ultra Balls. They're your best bet, in lieu of using the Master Ball (which you SHOULD use on at least one of these Beasts, to save yourself at least one hassle). | ||
