Inside Bell Tower Barrier Station

Once you have selected to help Scientist Rey, follow him inside of Bell Tower Barrier Station and speak with him again. After speaking with him, head down the stairs and fight your way through the basement floor. 

 

After you make it through the basement, you will be in the Bell Tower. Interact with the legendary beasts on the East (right) side of the building. This will trigger them to flee.

Legendary Beasts

 

Once the legendary beasts flee, speak with Scientist Rey. He will request that you go out and find the legendary beasts and battle them to get their seen data.

 

Entei Battle

To battle Entei you will need to go to the Johto Safari Mountain Zone (do not forget your Rock Smash Pokémon or tool). To enter the Johto Safari, it will require 5,000 Pokedollars. In the Mountain Zone, Entei can be found on a pillar surrounded by lava. Once you have defeated Entei, it will run away injured.

Raikou Battle

To battle Raikou you will need to Mt. Silver (found on Route 28 and West of Victory Road). Raikou is on Mt. Silver 3F. In order to get to Mt. Silver 3F, you must defeat the Karate Master in the Expert Belt Room and Jackson on Mt. Silver 2F. 

 

To access the Expert Belt Room you will need a Pokémon with Rock Smash or the Pickaxe tool. NOTE: If you lose to Jackson, there is a 2 hour (real-time) cooldown.

 

Once defeated, Raikou will run away injured.

Getting the Bell

After defeating all three legendary beasts, return to Ecruteak City. Go into Bell Tower and talk to Scientist Rey who will thank you. After the dialogue, speak with him again to be able to select your bell. They correspond as follows:

 

Zap Bell - Raikou

Lava Bell - Entei

Water Bell - Suicune

 

If you select a bell and decide that you wanted to change it, speak with Assistant Davis who is in the top left of the Bell Tower Barrier Station 1F. This can be done as many times as you would like as long as you have not encountered a legendary beast yet. Once you are happy with your bell of choice, you are ready to battle and catch the Legendary Guardian. 

 

Catching the Legendary Beast

Once you have your bell, you will need to beat the Legendary Guardian Boss NPC (You can find more information on Boss NPCs here). Winning against a Legendary Guardian has a 16.6% change of spawning the Legendary Beast that corresponds to your bell. After the 3rd consecutive win, you can choose to spawn the legendary beast with a 100% chance (instead of getting the standard rewards for the boss).

 

Once your beast has spawned, you can leave the area to get your sync Pokémon, False Swipe Pokémon, and Pokeballs. If you fail at catching it, the Pokémon will respawn with the same Nature, Ability, and IVs as in their first encounter.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: After you catch your first Legendary Beast, the other two are obtainable through Birth Island.
