It is Tuesday and the one it says won't appear, why?

Check the Pokémon you are using have maxed out EVs and that you have not altered your date and time recently.

Question

How many times do these Pokemon appear? If I kill one, do they come back?

Community Answer

These Pokemon only appear once. If you kill it you could soft reset (press L+R+Start/Select). You must save before fighting the Pokemon so soft resetting is helpful. Another thing you can do is beat the Elite Four again and all legendary Pokemon that have fainted can be fought again.

Question

How do I catch rare Pokemon?

Legendary Pokémon depend on the game, and can be found in different specific locations. Shiny Pokémon have a 1 in 4032 chance of encounter (1 in 8064 in older games), and this can be increased with other methods. Other rare Pokémon, such as Chansey, can be found via means such as the Safari Zone.

Tips

Save before battling. If you accidentally faint them or run out of Poké Balls, you can restart the game and try again.

Stock up on plenty of Ultra Balls. You'll also want to stock up on Dusk Balls if you're playing at night.

They're at level 50, so make sure you have Pokémon of at least that level.
