    Pokmon under Level 40, Super Repel on Route 36, if it runs out before you find one, go to Ruins of Alph, then back to 36.

    Forgot how hard this was. Catching legendaries back in the early games was hardcore!

    This was a hell, thanks WKgames, that guide was very helpful, still, it cost too much, if you use the bike, I think it's more rare that the damn dog changes places, as for the guide, you have to be very patient, especially with Suicune, i love this pokemon, but what a son of a thousand... it was the most difficult of the 3 by far.
    I was able to capture Entei the third time I found him, which is equivalent to the first, since, the 3rd time I used hypnosis and then I threw 1 ultra ball at him and i caught him, Suicune didn't want to sleep and, or he ran away dodging the hypnosis from Haunter, or used a roar after using Mean eye on it. A real nuisance.

    The only thing I found that works with this was to fly to Mahogany, search the grass west for 20 seconds and then go to Violet and search the grass west there repeating this over and over. Using a lvl 39 Haunter with Mean look, Hypnosis and max repels.

    I found next to no documentation on this aside from a single youtube video so I'll put it here: the game will prevent you from encountering the three legendary dogs if it detects you are moving back and forth between two routes. Try to have at least three different areas that you check.

    Suicune and Entei were quite easy to catch, Raikou on the other hand.....

    Lvl ball la última captura que logro más lindo

    In this game, X Accuracy causes all your moves to bypass accuracy checks, so your hypnosis/sleep powder/lovely kiss will hit 100% of the time. You’ll never be completely protected from roar, but you at least won’t lose turns from missing your attacks.

    Leaving this here after doing this for both Silver and Gold, the Jynx lvl 39 strat made this about as simple as it could get. Jynx with Mean Look, Lovely Kiss and Ice Punch. I start from the Twins on Route 37, run down to the patch of grass on Route 36 and finally down the first hallway of trees on the way to the Cut Tree that leads to Route 35. Each location I check the dex, Repel if they're there, Mean Look, Sleep, Ice Punch to lower their HP and then Ultra Ball and Sleep. If they aren't there, move forward or turn around and go the opposite direction. Master Ball should be saved for Raikou due to his speed. Once their HP is low, you can start saving and resetting to save Ultra Balls/Repels.

    Hey guys, I have found something that works really good:

    First of all, fly to the inidigo plateau and make your way down to new bark town. Dont use any repels or anything, just go through all grass patches possible and at least each 5x. Do that for each area follow this route -> inidigo plateau -> new bark town -> cherrygrove city -> violet city -> azalea town -> goldenrod city -> ecruteak city + route towards olivine city.

    This may sound dumb, but if you work your way up in this manner, then they appear like crazy. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but my friend did the same pattern and they appeared within 5-10mins. Switching between 2 routes is not as efficient.

    Again, try every grass patch at least 5 times and move on the next grass patch / area.

    This video helped immensely. https://youtu.be/o1uSbt75ks8?si=gSDIfd0bPDC13HAH&t=300

    Even got lucky and had two roamers on the same route. Managed to grab Raikou and Entei at once.

    My level 60 Fearow with 162 Speed (0 IV, 65535 EV) couldn't False Swipe before Raikou fled, but my level 44 Jumpluff with 122 Speed (9 IV, 14357 EV) could Sleep Powder it. I don't know how the game calculates who move first here, maybe base stat? Just stating this here in case anyone run out of Master Ball.
