Roaming Legendaries

Ikr....when my golbat finally learned mean look everything became easier
For whatever reason in SS Entei refuses to be caught. It's very frustrating. Get into the pokeball already!
In my original run through of Crystal, I never caught any of the dogs... But the second time around I figured out how they moved around and it was relatively easy.
Latias and Latios were annoying... just hucked a Masterball at thems.
Cress and Mess (lololol) were easy because of the tracker thing on the Poketech. Annoying, but easy.

Ah the roaming legendaries... good times.. goood times.
Now, if you've ever read my post in the fav legendary thread, you'll know about how I encountered Raikou. But, I'll tell you anyhow 8D
Raikou was an odd one for me. He was the first legendary dog I met in Silver, then the first in Crystal, both within the routes between Ecruteak and Olivine. He was also the first I found in Soul Silver. I encountered him three times in Soul SIlver before Entei even came up. Afterwards, I captured him with a Fast Ball back in the same route I first met him in, which was, again, that route between Ecruteak and Olivine.
However, I have an amsuing story for the Latios in Ruby I dealt with.
In my Ruby, I encountered Latios right in the first route. Now, I wasn't exactly familiar with Latios yet, and I just thought he would stay there. So, I send out my Breloom to Mach Punch it. HOWEVER, it ran away after I hit it. Next time I encountered it was out in the Oceaninc routes between Pacifidlog and Evergrande, where my Dusclops managed to put it to sleep. IT FRICKEN' RAN AWAY!! Then, I encountered it in the forest route leading to Fortree. I managed to get Sableye to confuse him, but he ran away again! Finally, I encountered the fellow near the abandoned ship, where I cut him off with Crobat's Mean Look. I threw I don't know how many Ultra Balls with it on 3 HP. Then, I finally caught it with a Timer Ball. I wanted to nickname him "Scaredy Britches", but it wouldn't fit. So, I just left his name alone.

I've never found any of them particularly easy to catch, unless you're chucking a Master Ball at 'em. Out of them all however, Entei and Raikou definitely annoy me the most. Maybe it's because I never gave Mespirit/Cresselia or Latios/Latias the chance to be annoying, but being roared at by Entei/Raikou while they're awake and having 'em refuse to be caught while they're at asleep at 1 HP almost drove me batshit in SS.
For Entei in particular, I had a scarfed Snorlax with Block, a False Swipe Marowak, and a Smeargle with Spore... and the process of catching it went on for AGES. Tried all of my fancy PokeBalls from Kurt AND numerous Dusk Balls... The bastard just wouldn't stay caught. When it finally DID stay in the 'ball I bloody cheered.
Stupid roaming legendaries. I'm dreading Isshu's already.

Really the newer ones I had more problems with than the older ones. Mespirit was pretty challenging but not as challenging as Latias was for me, Cresselia was indeed the most annoying to go after. It's like trying to catch a Chansey in the Safari Zone but have that SLIGHT chance to do damage first.
