What are useful moves for capturing legendary Pokemon?

Jul. 17, 2016

What moves/ movesets/ for which Pokemon are useful for catching legendaries? (I don’t have Snorlax)

I would like to have a Pokemon that knows False Swipe to help catch legendaries in Soul Silver, but I would also like the Pokemon to be able to be otherwise “useful,” if you will, as well.

Sorry for the large amount of questions, but thanks in advance!

To me, the most useful moves are Thunder Wave, Spore, Stun Spore, Hypnosis, Dark Void (if you have a Darkrai), Sleep Powder and False Swipe. For Roaming Legendaries you can also try Block and Mean Look so the Pokemon doesen’t escape.

Here are also some recommended Abilities:Shadow Tag and Arena Trap. NOTE: These abilities won’t work if the opposing Pokemon is a Flying-Type or has the Ability Levitate.

Hope I helped :)
