    took me a week of attempts. start with Tauros would be my advice, as it's prone to fleeing turn 1. Chansey is two rocks and balls, others are single balls. bring your best RNG.

    Yes, it is a pain, took me 1 hour.

    - Scyther/Pinsir, Tauros and Kangaskhan: Just keep spamming pokeballs (Tauros was the hardest for me for some reason).

    Chansey: I've read several methods. Some say that you must use 1 rock + 1 pokeball, others say that you need 2+ rocks + 1 pokeball, and others simply use pokeballs and pray.

    1 rock + 1 pokeball worked for me, but it took a while.

    Over 100 balls in no Khangaskhan AMA

    why did my kangaskan encounter only allow itself to be captured when i decided to go after tauros instead where it happens to have a 1% appear rate instead of 4, like its not even a good pokemon it doesnt have the right to be so finicky

    Just when I was about to type a rage comment about Chansey being impossible to catch, I catched it. did the 1 rock, 1 pokeball combo in Area 2 (north from the start); but hells, this is by far the most RNG-heavy achievement in this set.

    Caught 3 in 10 minutes then took over an hour to catch Chansey. That was awful

    If you go through the comments, some of them are saying SR doesn't work. But there are just enough people (myself included) who soft resetting works for just fine. That is SOFT resetting though, start+select+B+A. Resetting through retroarch is HARD resetting and WILL NOT be treated as the same session.

    The cheevo is capture the four in one hunt? or you can capture separaly
    GoldenYears 22 Sep 2024 18:19
    Use can use soft resets to make this achievement way less horrible!
    chutopic 28 Sep 2024 19:33
    @PilarZone it has to be in one EMULATOR session, basically you can get them across multiple hunts aslong as you dont close out of the emulator between them

    Without turbo, this would take over a day to accomplish
    lelaneth 4 Oct 2024 15:01
    Completed this in like.. 30/45min.
    Actually it's not that hard, here's some tips:

    -Start with Tauros, then the rest. Maybe save Chansey for last. Tauros seems to run first turn more often.
    -Tauros (Zone 3, 4%), Pinsir/Scyther (Central Zone, 4%) & Kanghaskan (Zone 1, 4%) only throw balls.
    -Chansey (Zone 2, 4%) is one rock, and then balls.
    -Save game and use soft reset (SELECT+START+B+A). As long as you don't close the emulator, the cheevo still count. So you can load and soft reset for faster catching.
    -Use Fast Forward/Frame Throttle to speed up the searching.
    -Also use various Safari Hunts, so you have lots of steps and combine with FF and SR to maximize your time.

    This tips are a collection of the comments in this section, so thank everybody, GL HF.

    Thanks guys I managed to buckle down and eventually do it.

    Hardest achievement at this point in the game so far. Save up a bunch of money, choose an empty box and save a couple hours of your life, because you need to be thorough with this one. I found just throwing balls faster than bothering with rock and bait. Took me 3 hours and 15k. Earned in Pokemon Red.
    Loran 14 Oct 2024 10:23
    Soft resetting with START+SELECT and then A + B combo works just fine , no need to waste money.
    Just catch one of them , save and soft reset.
    Quick tip, ALWAYS throw balls! Don't waste your time using rocks or baits, it's 100% luck based so save yourself an headache and just spam balls every single time.
    Use this for the optimal area for each Pokemon :

    Good luck!
