How do I know where a roaming Pokemon is?

Question

I just beat Pokemon emerald and got the national pokedex. apparently now I can catch roaming Pokemon. the thing is, I read that every time you enter a new area, the roaming Pokemon move to a new location. if that is the case, how am I supposed to know where to go or what to do to find a roaming Pokemon? do I need to just keep going in and out of an area until I get lucky, or is there some sort of tracking system?

Answer 1

After you’ve seen the roamer once, it’ll be registered in your Pokédex and its current location will be visible there.
In order to find the roamer for the first time, you’ll want to find a route where you can go in and out of a route quickly while going through tall grass or water, like this video demonstrates (the video uses HGSS, but it’s the same principle). If all of the Pokémon that naturally appear on that route are less than level 35, then leading with a lv 35 Pokémon and using repel will make it so that you can only encounter the roamer when it appears on that route.
