I'll have you know that I'm a legendary beast-master!

What's the fastest you've ever caught a legendary? And what's the fastest rate in which you have caught hard-to-catch Pokémon?

Fastest I caught a Legendary was probably Entei in FireRed when I just ran into by chance and caught it immediately with a Master Ball. Though if I exclude anytime I caught a legendary with a Master Ball, I'd say Articuno in FireRed or Victini in White. Both only took about 10-15 minutes. Fastest rate I've caught a hard-catch Pokemon? Honestly I can't remember. Though yesterday in Black 2 I caught the Volcarona in Relic Castle and that catch done was pretty quickly, through I used an Ultra Ball instead.

Hetran in Black 2 with a luxury ball in 1 move, hypnosis. That thing apparently loves it some luxury balls.

Catching Zekrom in 3 Ultra Balls in Black 2.

But then again it has an easy catch rate compared to most legendaries.

thunderus full HP threw one pokeball and caught it first turn no status conditions or anything

I don't think that's even possible, prove me if I'm wrong :P

I don't exactly remember the details and exactly what legendary it was (it might have been Azelf, but I can't be too sure), but I do remember tossing a single Quick Ball right from the start of the battle and catching it with full health and all. That was one of my YESSSS moments. Best capture ever. (Y)

Oh easily.
I was doing a solo run and only had a pokeball. 1 POKEBALL!
I caught virizion.

2nd or 3rd turn capture with an Ultra Ball against Kyogre. I remember getting its health down pretty low with one move, then just tossing an Ultra Ball or two and being impressed with how fast it all happened. Then I boxed it and never used it.

oh I remember now Raikou in heartgold I just awaken the trio and the route heading to the ranch he appeared first. I just throw a great-ball and lucky caught him.

Kyogre in Sapphire with 1 Pokeball on first turn. I know its extremely lucky, but it was that or my masterball and I didn't want to use my masterball at that time XD

A Quick Ball thrown at Mesprit in White 2. Mind = blown that I caught it, and it even had good IVs with a Modest nature.

I threw a regular pokéball at Moltres in LG. Automatic catch ;)

My fastest was when I caught Mewtwo with a Masterball in one turn, END OF STORY.

My fastest that I could remember WITHOUT the o'mighty Master Ball was with a first turn Quick Ball on Mespirt on Diamond.

Not including masterball catching, my fastest would be Mewtwo. Lowered its health some (if at all), and threw a Dusk Ball. Caught it on my first try.

I also caught a Thundurus with almost full health using an Ultra Ball on White version. I knew it would flee if I tried to really lower its health any more, so I just threw an Ultra Ball and hoped it would work. I was pretty darn happy when I caught it.

Caught Mewtwo at full health with Master Ball.

After several retries I ended up catching Mewtwo on my Leafgreen file using just one Ultra Ball.

If only the first million attempts were that easy.

0.4% chance, according to Bulbapedia.

Caught a Palkia first turn with a Pokeball on Platinum. Felt like a boss after seeing it was a Modest nature.
