Not all of us can catch Legendary Pokémon. With newly added Legendary trios in games proving harder to catch than your average cover Legendary, here is how to catch the coolest Pokémon trio around - Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion!

Steps

Assess whether or not you're ready. To stand a chance of catching these Pokémon, you will need : Pokémon of lv.50 or higher, with at least one knowing False Swipe. False Swipe can be obtained from Professor Juniper, as long as you have seen at least 30 Pokemon. Several Revives, Potions and Ultra Balls, all of which can be obtained from any Pokémon Center 50-100 Dusk and Timer Balls for each Legendary. Both can be obtained from Opelucid Cities Poke-mart. The HM's Strength and Fly.

Capture Cobalion. Before you can catch Terrakion or Virizion, you'll need to capture Cobalion. To catch him, on Route 7, near Chargestone Cave, surf to Mistralton Cave.

Travel to the top floor, pushing boulders using Strength when needed. When at the top, an old man will explain the legend behind Cobalion. Walk on, and you will see Cobalion. Walk up to him and speak to him to battle him.

Wear him down and try to capture him. If you catch him, great! If you defeat him, great! If he defeats you, it doesn't matter, you'll see him again soon. Now the other two will appear.

Head off to Victory Road to catch Terrakion. It would be easier to Fly to the Pokémon League, then head into the cave at the top. Take a left once inside.

Walk straight ahead until you reach a funny looking cave, different from others, such as Mistralton or Chargestone Cave. Go in, and you will find Terrakion. Fight him.

Capture Virizion. Even if you made Terrakion and Cobalion faint, you can capture Virizion. To do this, go to Pinwheel Forest.

Find the area called Rumination Field, and Virizion will be standing in the clearing. Well done! You've seen them!

Use the right technique. When trying to catch them, whittle down their health with any type, just not four time effective moves as they will usually kill before you can get the health bar down to yellow. Once the health is in yellow, use false swipe to get down to one health. Once their health is at one, use forty Dusk Balls, as they have max effectiveness, until turn 41ish, when Timer Balls gain a better chance.
