How can you make it to where Articuno spawns at Route Four if you messed up the first time?

Question

My question is the title pretty much but in case you guys would like to know why I messed up, read below.

I did the “trick” at Route 4 but, I did it too fast and he never went back I’ve spent hours cycling and chasing him but he NEVER lets me.

Example: I'm four routes away I get in my back and go next thing I know he's four routes BEHIND ME and he loops so I try to go the the routes the loops AND HE CHANGES AGAIN THE PATTERN!

Any help is much appreciated, after all I didn't get event legendaries only the ones in game (I'm lazy and don’t get up to date)

0~0 how does that even work?!

Your character chases an AI and each time u meet it it counts the timer when u see it 10 times it teleports the bird to sea den and the AI ( aka Pokémon ) is interactible where you may catch it well I have seen it 3 times and it’s leading me on a chase that I need help with.




If your question was how the route four thing works the read below

Go to camphire town ( town new to route four )
Go to the entrance to route 4 ( there’s yellow tall grass right above )
Go in the yellow tall grass and see the bird
Go immediately back to camphire town and wait 5 sec ( or longer to be safer )
Repeat

Note: the first time you do this [b] [u] MUST BE THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE THE BIRD ALSO


finally the starter you choose is the bird you see ( look at other pages for more info on this )

This is just how the roaming encounters work, they are random. If you move to one area, they may switch to another. You can try going back and forth across a route/town boundary until Articuno is in your area.
