Eon Pokémon encounter suggestion didn't make sense; substituting a more sensical strategy.

 Once you start your save file again you should be in your room at your house in [[Littleroot Town]]. Go downstairs and your father should be there. He gives you a present from your old friend [[Mr. Briney]], the S.S. Ticket for the [[S.S. Tidal]] and suggests you go to the Battle Tower, before leaving for the [[Petalburg Gym]]. Also look at the TV and it states their is a flying Pokémon traveling around Hoenn which is {{p|Latios}}{{sup|Ru}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup|Sa}}. From this point on you have a chance of finding one of these [[Roaming Pokémon]], whose primary color is the opposite of the game color of the version you are using (Blue for Ruby and Red for Sapphire). To get the other one you must use either the other version or get the event-exclusive Eon Ticket to [[Southern Island]], a special Nintendo event-only island.
-It is recommended to use {{m|Fly}} around a city that doesn't have too many exits and use it as often as necessary and bring plenty of {{DL|Repel|Max Repel}}s with a Pokémon that is slightly under level forty to be able to encounter it so your Pokédex is capable of tracking it afterwards if you do not wish to use the {{DL|Poké Ball|Master Ball}}.
+Since the Pokémon change locations when a boundary is crossed (such as entering or exiting a building), one viable strategy for increasing encounters with the Eon Pokémon is to find a grass patch near a building, such as [[Route 117]] near the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or the southern end of [[Route 110]] near the entrance to [[Seaside Cycling Road]].  Use a Repel (of any strength) and bunny hop on the Acro Bike in the grass.  If the Eon Pokémon doesn't appear within a minute or so, enter and exit the nearby building to change the area the Eon Pokémon is currently visiting, and repeat the process.  Once you've encountered the Pokémon the first time, its current location will be visible in your Pokédex.
