another good question, its because of trading, the original one is the one that counts

char-suicune
squirt- raikou
the other one-eltei

It is slightly unfortunate that only the Pokemon which you select from Prof. Oak's Laboratory is the one which causes a Legendary Dog to appear.

Some people say that these Pokemon are one-of-a-kind, yet they have appeared in THREE (or four) basic storylines, and have been captured each time...

yeah, what he said, and it doesnt matter if you have other beggining pokemon in your team

im in new york so sander is probably in canada.thare go my chanses of linkink with sander.

rofl! I traded Raikou, Entei, and Suicune to my Fr and I looked in the pokedex and my Legendary dog is... Suicune! I replaced my Vaporeon for it. I don't use my other Entei, Suicune, or Raikou because they're traded so their stats won't go as high.

Btw, I traded on Raikou first. Then Suicune, and then Entei.

The Legendary Dogs appear wild anywhere in kanto after you beat the Elite Four depending on you
starter. You can only find one pokemon in the game depending on the following starters
u select:
Suicune : Charmander
Raikou : Squirtle
Entei : Bulbasaur

hmm i have a gold bat but its in my pc should i carry it around when im in kanto?

quote Gamestar

Yeah, use Mean Look and it won't run away and then chuck ultra balls at it.

Yeah, so what you do is get an army of Wobbuffets, or Crobats.

Since the Wobbuffets have their special ability to stop the dogs from running, they could be very useful. And if there's a chance that the Dog uses Roar, then another Wobbuffet will come out. Also put Reflect and Light Screen on all of the Wobb's, that'll protect them until you can catch the Dog.

Works in a similar way with the Crobats. The Crobats are so fast, that they should have a chance to use Mean Look before the Dog runs. Same thing if the Dog uses Roar, another Crobat comes out and you use Mean Look again.

im saving my master ball for suicune coz once i saw it then i change my pokemon and the it said, "wild suicune fled" so i quickly dturn the game of and then back on and i went to the sam place and he was not there and i hate that *BEEP* suicune even though i wnat to catch it. oh yeah and is there such thing a shiny suicune coz the one i was it look in the shiny version or maybe these internet guys are just making it up?

why did so many people pick charmander it seems becuase there so many threads about suicune
raiku(spelling) is getting to be a pain a found him flamethrower now hes burnt

shiny suicune does exist

i dunno, but i found entei.... i turned it off..can i still find a shiny entei?? i hope so...

should be able to...
