Hello everyone,

 

I talked with registeel in his location and before I could attack or do anything he did explosion and blew himself up...

I am confused here, he never had that attack in the games and did I lost my chanse to catch it? and what could I have done to not have this happen...

Hello @Frenzic010 ,

 

Registeel learns Explosion at level 78 in Generation 9, and PRO moved to those mechanics recently.

 

Luckily you can fight Boss Nikola at Unknown Place (Trainers Valley) to have another chance to catch your legendary. You can find more information about him on the PRO Wiki.

 

Here are some suggestions for the future to prevent something like that from happening:

• Use a Masterball.
• Use a Pokémon with the Damp ability.
• Imprison + Explosion (If your Pokémon knows Explosion and has Imprison, the wild Pokémon won’t be able to use it.)

I hope those information were useful to you!

 

Kind regards,

Lugario

Hello @Frenzic010 !

Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the delayed response.

 

I took a look, and it seems you’re not referring to the catchable Registeel from its quest. I believe you're talking about the one located east of Fortree City on Route 120 in the Ancient Tomb? If so, that Registeel is not catchable—it is only there to provide you with its seen data.

To catch Registeel, I recommend checking out this guide, which should have all the details for the quest.

 

I hope this answers your question! Since there’s nothing else to address, I will be locking this topic. If you have any other inquiries, feel free to reach out to us again.

 

Sincerely,

Bacchylides.
