Sorry if I'm digging up an old topic and sorry if this is against the rules but I just made an account to this site for the soul purpose to express my frustration with this glitch. My first time through fire red i chose blastoise and therefore was able to catch a raikou... got all excited and checked his iv's they were:
25 - hp
3 - att
0 - def
0 - sp. att
0 - sp. def
0 - speed
of course i was pissed off and couldn't believe my incredibly bad luck. Therefore knowing that i could choose which dog i was able to capture and my favorite being suicune, i restarted the game over again this time picking charizard. Beat everything spent around 100 hours of play time and finally my opportunity arose to catch suicune. I had already used my master ball so he was a pain in the ass and for some reason he could run under ANY circumstances no matter what i did. (paralyzing, sleep, no flinch from fakeout, i even tried using a wobbuffet's shadow tag and no luck!!!) so eventually i did a hail mary and threw 1 ultra ball at him and to my delight i caught him with the first one!!! then i checked his IV's:
18 - hp
7 - att
0 - def
0 - sp. att
0 - sp. def
0 - speed
And there's your proof folks, the glitch is real and AWFUL, in fact i do warrant the use of "something" to modify this tragedy. please try to tell me its wrong to "fix" something that cost me 100+ hours of play....
