How to Catch Legendary Pokémon Easily

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 2: evolve it into a Weavile/Scizor and teach it False Swipe.

   Hypnosis sends the Pokémon to sleep, making it incapable of attack and easier to catch. (Although Pokémon roaming around the map may still flee.) If you are planning to catch a roaming Pokémon (Mesprit, Latias, etc.) teach Gastly Mean Look, which prevents wild Pokémon from escaping. ,, (Although some Pokémon may be better caught with others.
   
   Case in point, Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon ever so will be most vulnerable to Heavy balls.) ,,,
