QUESTION: how to catch suicune.its not in a definite place it appeared once and fled.when i searched for it to see its location in dex it was moving.after catching suicune is the game over i have 145 pokemon seen and 112 owned.now vat to do.pls help me.

ANSWER: Suicune is tricky to catch, because it keeps moving and there is only one. However, there is a pattern to its movements, which helps you catch it.

Whenever you go from one route to another, or from a city to a route, Suicune moves by 1 route. It will never be in cities. So, to increase your chances of seeing it, use Repel and have a Pokémon at level 49 at the front of your team. This way, only pokemon at least level 50 (which means only Suicune) will appear. Go to route 2 (north of Viridian). Check Suicune's location in the Pokédex. If it's in the same place, go around in the grass, if not, go in the building and leave. Repeat until Suicune is in the same area. Then go in the grass until you see it.

Suicune flees as soon as it can, so you'll want to make it fall asleep (or use a Master Ball if you still have it. If you want to, use it right away, as it never misses). A good Pokémon to use would be Haunter or Gengar with Hypnosis. Once it's asleep, bring down Suicune's health with Night Shade. Careful, because if you knock it out, you won't have a second chance. Night Shade always does 49 damage (when used by a level 49), so it won't do too much. Use 2 or maybe 3 hits on it, but never more than that. After that, use False Swipe to take Suicune's HP to 1 without knocking it out. Use a Cubone, Scyther, or Farfetch'd that knows the move.

When Suicune has 1 health, don't use any damaging attack, just try to make it fall asleep. Or you can just try to throw ultra balls at it until it's caught.


To answer your last question, catching Suicune does not end the game.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

QUESTION: how does evee evolve into espeon and umbreon.i dont have a masterball to catch suicune but ihave got hundreds of ultra balls how many will be enough.

Answer
To make Eevee evolve into Espeon or Umbreon, it has to be very happy. When it's happy enough and goes up a level, it will evolve. Eevee evolves into Espeon in morning or daytime, and evolves into Umbreon at night. You can make your Eevee happy by using it in fights, levelling it up, using potions on it, and never letting it faint or get low health.

Hundreds of ultra balls is plenty for catching Suicune once you bring its health down. Remember the tips I used for lowering its health.
