how do you determine a pokemon's IVs? do you guess away?
also,
when I was reading on serebii about how characteristics affect IVs
the first value was always zero, if not in ascending order
whats up with that?
Bulbapedia said:Characteristics are a new feature in Generation IV that indicates which stat contains a Pokémon's highest IV. It is displayed on the Pokémon's profile screen where its nature, date met, place met, and berry flavor preference are shown.
Bulbapedia said:Roaming Pokémon are a type of legendary Pokémon that, instead of remaining in one place as a special event, run around the region they appear in, seemingly randomly.
In addition to their changing of routes, something that happens every time the player enters or leaves a separate location, they also, on the first turn of battle, will attempt to flee. The only way to prevent this is to use a move such as Mean Look or have the Pokémon sent out have an ability such as Shadow Tag.
Most often, a trainer can use his or her Pokédex to check the ever-changing location of their target.

After encountering it once you will know its exact location by the info given in your pokédex. However as soon as you move from one route to another its location will change, so the best solution is to place yourself on the border of two routes and move between the two while checking your Dex to see where it currently is. Once it appears on the exact route you are currently on you should put on repel and wander through the grass or whatever squares that will cause random encounters.
do you have to fully train a pokemon before you calculate it's IV's?
Well Latios is at level 40, so if you're using the repel trick, you need to make sure your lead pokemon is at level 39 or lower. To see Latios the first time, just do pretty much what Woingeanau suggested. Use repel and keep exiting and entering a route with pokemon at lower levels than your lead pokemon (so 38 or less), and run around in the grass a few times. Latios will show up quickly if he's there. If not, exit the route and try it again.
Why don't Quick Balls and Timer Balls seem to work on legendaries? Would that make it too easy or something? Because Heatran's being a little asshole right now and not being caught, and the Timer Balls I'm using don't seem to have any effect
