Catch Latios/Latias. A good way to catch Latios/Latias is in Route 4 by Cerulean City.

This was in an event. If you have Action Replay, you can use the code listed in the Things You'll Need section. Get the Enigma Stone from the Pokemart. There is a green man to give it to you.

Talk to Steven and he will tell you to give the Enigma Stone to the Scientist. The scientist will give Soul Dew.

Question

What's that Pokemon following me (my companion) called?

Community Answer

The one in the picture is Arceus, the god of Pokemon. It's probably just an Action Replay hack, though.

Have Pokémon with moves that inflict status effects such as Sleep and Paralysis. Status effects will make it easier to catch them.
