This is part 72 of my ongoing walkthrough for Pokemon Sapphire. In this video, we hunt down Latias, a Dragon/Psychic legendary. Latias and Latios are the toughest Pokemon to catch in this game. You want to use your master ball on this Pokemon. Here’s an overview of the steps to catching this legendary: 1) Put a Pokemon at level 40 or under in the front of your party 2) Go to any route where there is grass (I used Route 110) 3) Spray repel, and run around in the grass 4) If you don’t find the legendary in about 20 steps, leave the route 5) Enter the route again, and repeat steps 3-4 until you find it Eventually, you will find Latias/Latios. It all depends on how lucky you are, don’t get discouraged if it takes a long time. Once you find the Pokemon, throw your master ball right away. If you don’t have a master ball… If you are trying to catch Latias/Latios with an Ultra Ball, it’s going to be a million times harder! Latias/Latios will run away from battle on its first turn, so you will want a move like Mean Look to prevent it from running. If you are using the Mean Look method, you will have a very hard time because Latias can still outspeed you and run away. Crobat is the fastest Pokemon that can learn Mean Look, so that’s my suggestion. I will be recording more so stay tuned and subscribe!
For extra good info on how to EV Train a Pokemon, look at the info bellow! The following is my most frequently asked question. “After I finish EV training, do I have to keep on the -ITEM NAME- and keep fighting Pokemon that give the same stats? Are the EVs replaced?” No, they are not, so don’t worry. As long as you save right away after EV training, you’re done. You can do whatever you want with your Pokemon. Fight other wild Pokemon, trainer battles, Elite Four a million times, be cheap and use Rare Candy… doesn’t matter. As long as you don’t use stat reduction berries (see lower in video description), you’re Pokemon’s EVs are set in stone. The following are lists of Pokemon from Serebii.net that detail what Pokemon give what EV Points. If you want to train against a specific Pokemon for specific EV Points, click the following links.

Defense: tinyurl.com For Speed: tinyurl.com POKEMON CANNOT GO OVER 255 EVs FOR A SINGLE STAT POKEMON CANNOT GO OVER 510 EVs OVERALL TOTAL Pokemon can only be EV trained if they get experience points in battle. This means a Pokemon that is level 100 can not be EV trained. This also means you can’t EV Train when you fight other people or are in the Battle Frontier or other such places. You are able to get the Power items at the Battle Frontier for 16 BP. In D/P version, it is the same area, where you exchange your BP for items. You can …
