Hey! So first of all, I am 100% aware its all RNG, but at one point im starting to get paranoid im doing something wrong. Im coming back after about 4 months away from the game. before i took a break I managed to catch both Raikou and Entei within about 1000 encounters each, so I know I can find the legendary beasts.
However, since ive been gone I see they've introduced the birds in Gen 1 aswell but to my understanding both the beasts and birds are both available just in different regions. I wanted to finish off all 3 beasts before moving to the birds since im only missing Suicune and he is available this month. I am now 9000 encounters dry, which seems like quite a lot based on other peoples experiences (And my own with raikou and entei!) so im just really paranoid something has changed since i've left?
Am I just unlucky or am I doing something wrong here? As I said i have beaten Ho-oh and I have caught the 2 other beasts before. I am 100% determined to keep going, the motivation is high, but im afraid im wasting my time here if im missing some new prerequisite or something to find them since its been months since i caught the other 2 beasts
Thanks!
