====Introduction====

     This is my first FAQ so I decided to start off with something simple.  
Some believe that they are cats and some believe they are dogs but my 
interpretation of the pokedex is that they are dogs.  I hope you will find this 
FAQ useful.  Feel free to send in any constructive comments and/or 
contributions.

====Preparing yourself=====

First of all you will have to have certain items.

x1 Quick claw, x25 Ultra balls, x5 Heavy balls, x1 TM 08, x1 HM 02, x30 Super 
or Max repels.

(You might need more or less Pokeballs than I have recommended.)

====Preparing you Pokemon====

     Your Pokemon play a very important role in obtaining the legendary dogs 
Suicine, Raikou and Entei. You will have to have at least one Pokemon under 
level 40 (meaning he has not yet reached level 40) with sleep powder or another 
attack that can put a Pokemon to sleep.  Next you will have to put the Quick 
Claw on that Pokemon.  Also, you will need a Pokemon that can learn Rock Smash 
(TM 08).  Next you will need a Pokemon that can learn Fly (HM 02).

Summary:
Level 29-39 Pokemon + Sleep + Quick Claw
Level (any) Pokemon + Fly
Level (any) Pokemon + Rock Smash

     You can have a Pokemon with any or all of the attacks mentioned but it 
does not really matter. 

====Releasing the dogs====

     Now that you are ready, fly to Ecruteak City.  Head to the top left corner 
of the city, there you will find a small tower, someone in the town will tell 
you that their was a fire that burned the top of it off years ago if.  Once 
inside, head towards the top left corner of the room, you will need to use Rock 
Smash on the cracked rock.  If you continue, you will have to face a trainer (I 
don't have information on his Pokemon yet, feel free to contribute).  Once he 
is defeated, heal at the Pokemon center if you have to, then go into the hole 
in the floor.  Continue towards the three "statues", once you reach the top of 
the small stairs leading to them, the statues will come to life then they will 
flee.  Copy their lead and leave the tower.

====Hunting the dogs====
     
     Next, heal at the Pokemon center if you need it.  At this time put the 
Pokemon that is Level 29-39 at the top of your Pokemon that you are using, then 
head towards the left of town, through the gatehouse and then to the patch of 
grass.  Before you reach the patch of grass, save then use one of the repels 
you bought.

     Keep on going back and forth, using a new repel every time the old one 
wears out.  When you encounter one of the dogs, I suggest using your attack 
that puts Pokemon to sleep, you may not be fast enough but eventually you will 
get the first attack during one of your encounters. Once you do attack first 
and that the dog is asleep, attack it until it is low in hit points (HP) and 
now use your poke balls (I randomized my use of balls).  Most likely the dog 
will run if you have not caught it before it has woken up.  But because you 
have seen the dog, your job of tracking that one dog will or should be easier.  
Save your game and fly to a town close to a patch of grass.  Head towards the 
patch of grass then go into your pokedex to see where the dog that you have 
seen is located.  If he is where you are, use a repel and go back and forth in 
the grass.  If he is not, fly somewhere else and do the same thing over and 
over again.  Once you have caught one of the dogs, keep on going back and forth 
in any patch of grass until you find one of the two other dogs that remain, 
unless you encountered more then one of them already.  And of course, do the 
same thing for the last dog.

====Building Entei, Raikou and Suicine into fighters====

     I have had the dogs for a while now but have not yet built them up.  
Meaning, that I will include more in this section later.  All of the 
information on the different attacks is written as it is written in the game of 
Pokemon.

====A little easier way to catch the dogs====

    If you want to cheat and save a little bit of time, all you do is copy your 
Master ball three times.  So when you encounter any of the three dogs, you can 
just throw a master ball for an automatic capture.

     To duplicate the Master ball (or any other item for that matter), you will 
need to give any of your Pokemon your Master ball.  Next save.  !!!WARNING!!!: 
If you are not sure if you want to risk the erasure of your saved file, do not 
attempt the next steps. ~~~~~Next steps will be in the next update~~~~~
