I've decided to go and snatch Cresselia. A while ago, somebody here commented on some reply to some post of some sort, and described a (supposedly) fool-proof method to trigger an encounter during normal gameplay which works for all roaming legendaries. (Please raise your hand if it was you ( Read more... )

legendaries, marking map, cresselia

Yup. The marking map is the app on your Poketch with the map and some symbols at the bottom (star, triangle, circle, etc)

A face thing will appear on it and flash, showing you where Cresselia is at.

What you do is just run back and forth between two maps (I used Sandgem and the route above it) and wait for the face to show up in the route with you.

Ah, right... I thought you could drag one of the symbols onto the map and then it would move when she moved. If I get this right, you just keep the marking map app open and the face will appear automatically while you move back and forth?

Gonna give it a try, thank you!

Try doing so in Jubilife City. There are 4 routes around Cresselia can appear in and if she appears in Route 218 while you're in Jubilife, you can just walk through the house and use surf in the route, because Cresselia won't change places when you enter a new route that's seperated by a house.

And, if you use a repel it'll guarantee you encounter the Cresselia, and not some random encounter Pokemon. Don't use the repel until you're on the same route as the critter, though. :)

Oh, and something else. I read this somewhere, but can't vouch for the validity...

Supposedly, with Legendaries, you don't want to completely knock down their HP like you would a "normal" Pokemon. Ideally you hammer it down between 2/3 and 1/3 of their full HP, and they're significantly easier to catch.

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure wether I should use one (might repel her as well) so I didn't and I was lucky enough to encounter has instead of a bidoof. :D

So how tough was it to catch?

I had a hell of a time when I went after it...
