I've been embarking on the very same mission but I've been on a hiatus for a while now. The LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG animations make it a chore more than anything else. And you don't have to purify it to know the nature, but you'll need to purify to test the Hidden Power (don't think you have enough RCs ingame to get exact IVs).Even if it wasn't such a bad hack, I'd still have my suspicions. You see, the only way to get a good Raikou, is to save before Ein in Colloseum, beat his whole team, catch his Raikou, purify it enough to see it's nature, reset and try again.
Doesn't sound too bad, but remember: there's no Synchronise in Colloseum, and at that point in the game, you don't have a Master Ball. And what's worse, Raikou spams Shadow Rush (a recoil move), so False Swipe is out the window. It would take a mammoth amount of commitment. I've been playing through Colloseum in an attempt to do it...just working on catching all the right Pokemon for the job first (i.e, sleepers, Electric resists etc). I'm not hopeful. ;\
Noooo don't do it! All the fun and pride in breeding an awesome legitimate Poke will be lost!I hate this... I wish they never introduced IVs and kept the EVs all maximizable like in GSC! I want to resort to hacking.
I never had fun breeding and I don't have pride since the only 'perfect' Pokemon I have is an UGLY WEEZING! I'm not gonna risk hacking but I'm just soooooooo frustrated! :cloud:Noooo don't do it! All the fun and pride in breeding an awesome legitimate Poke will be lost!
I am a good Raikou. :)I've been embarking on the very same mission but I've been on a hiatus for a while now. The LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG animations make it a chore more than anything else.

Oh, look it's been at least 6 months...=(
And I assume this (Timid, triple flawless, HP Ice) is hacked as well...
Lol Weezing can't help the way he looks :( I'm actually pretty frustrated right now too. I spent yesterday and today hatching out about 170 Sneasels and I still haven't gotten what I wanted. Got a great IV shiny, but the most horrible nature possible.I never had fun breeding and I don't have pride since the only 'perfect' Pokemon I have is an UGLY WEEZING!

does this mean that when you kill the dog it's nature and ivs will change and become SRable?Wait, nature is set the first time even if you kill it?
Well, I got incredibly lucky with my Bold Suicune then.
Really, keep it that way.. it's not worth the effort you have to put in. I actually did get a Raikou this way and it's definitely not worth the time I wasted.LittleGreenYoda said:I've been embarking on the very same mission but I've been on a hiatus for a while now
lol, the opposite. If you kill it then the next time you see it it'll have the same IVs/Nature every timeThe_Rider said:does this mean that when you kill the dog it's nature and ivs will change and become SRable?
That is genious, thank you for that bit of advice!I made it so my Umbreon had 113 Spd that way any Raikou that was faster than Umbreon had to be a +Spd Nature and have at least a 20 Spd IV so if Raikou was slower I could immediately reset for the next one
Woot. Surely the best Raikou here. If only you were willing to let people redistribute it... *envy*iirc, each try took like 7-10 minutes... you don't want to know how long it took me to get the result, which was 11/29/13/27/27/24 Timid w/ HP Ice 61 (yep, it was wrong =]). Not the best IVs, but I'd like to see a better one. 29 Atk and terrible HP/Def made me mad, but it was much better than the other ones I had gotten so I kept it.
Lol, I remember seeing a topic here which set was a Modest Celebi. It was pretty interesting, the only problem was, no one had a good Modest fairy.I set out to get a good Timid HP Ice/Grass Raikou a few months ago.. it helps that you can see the stats even without purifying, so you can guess the nature right away. I then just used the Celebi pipe to purify - took maybe 10 - 15 mins each time.
I got a Modest one with something like 25-29 in HP, Def, Sp Atk and Speed, and single figures in Sp Def.
Unfortunately it was Modest (I guessed when I saw the stats but thought I'd check it out anyway), but HP Ice 55. Probably the best legit one I've seen but despite that it's pretty much unusable.
I think you've inspired me to try again though.

There's no need to find exact IVs unless you're really obsessed with perfection. The IV ranges at levels 40, 41, 42, and 43 are quite decent with MetalKid's IV calc to get a good idea if it's worth keeping. As for Hidden Power? Purify Raikou with a Time Flute and teach it TM 10 (it's buyable in Colosseum IIRC). Then test its type in battle.Even if I did find a Timid one with decent IVs I'd have to put it in the Daycare for a while so it could level up without getting EVs since I'm pretty sure there aren't enough RC's to get the exact IVs. When I did finally get one with decent IVs I didn't want to waste time putting it in the DayCare and I think I was using Serebii's IV Calc (since in Metalkids it doesn't tell you HP unless the IVs are exact) and it said HP Ice 68, I was so happy that I assumed it was right then I saved, traded it to my Emerald, saved, and leveled it up to 100 there and.... Serebii's Calc was wrong about the Hidden Power.................... then I got a knife and stabbed my Gamecube.
Why can't kanto dogs have good ivs?The Dogs can only come from Three Locations, through Events (Hoenn), FR/LG (Kanto) and Colo (Distant Land)
Events don't come in Ultra Balls, and Kanto Dogs can't have good IVs, and the location says Hoenn meaning it's not Colo.
Meaning it's a pretty bad hack.
Some glitch apparently, all running legends will ahve 0-1 IVs. I checked with my Entei and Raikou, and both have really bad IVs. Likewise, my Latias from Sapphire is pretty bad too.Why can't kanto dogs have good ivs?
and so if I trade a poke from emerald to fire red and transfer it, it will say arrived from hoenn?
