What pokeball do you use to catch Legendaries?

I always use regular Pokéballs nowadays. In fact, i can't remember the last time i caught a Pokémon in any other type of Pokéball.

Usually Ultra balls - spend my spare cash on them with memories of catching Rayquaza in Ruby... The battle took about 300 hours and five million balls. The safety of Ultra balls is comforting. I tend not to use a master ball for Legendaries just incase I come across an even more legendary Legendary.

What ball did you catch Reshiram/Zekrom in?

As the title suggests what ball did you catch Reshiram/Zekrom in and how hard was it to catch in your opinion.


Personally I caught my Zekrom in a Luxury Ball. I caught it on my first go to! But after I looked it up this is probably because Reshiram/Zekrom have a catch rate of 45 (the same as Beedrill or Onix).

somehow i was able to catch Reshiram with just one (yes, ONE) ultra ball, i couldn't tell if it was fixed or i was just real lucky. and out of all the balls i threw, victini was caught with a regular pokeball...

I try to use Pokeballs, I like it when they come out for battle and you see the original pokeball.

But I tend to end up catching them in either a dusk or ultra ball, I only use the Master Ball on the roaming Pokemon.

I try to use pokeballs that match the pokemon's color lol.

I always use ultra balls to try to catch them, though I use ultra balls to catch every pokemon so it's not anything special.

For me, Ultra Balls are the most effective. But when it comes to legendaries, I also use some status effective attacks, and lower their hp. Like how they always taught you to catch pokemon.

I remember that one time, I didn't know I used my master ball on a Sigilyph. That's when I learned to save regularly.

well i dont have the odd normal ball thing!
i only try against legendaries
But i do have a tendency to use Timer Balls!

A lot of the mascot legendaries these days(Dialga, Palkia, Zekrom, etc.) EXCEPT Giritina have the catch rate of a chatot.

Which, in fact, is 45.

That would explain why I got Zekrom with one ultra ball. It was paralysed and its health was at red, but I still expected it to take a hundred or so ultra balls like the likes of legendaries in previous versions.

I caught Victini in my third Ultra Ball.

I don't plan on using my Master Ball for the other Legendaries -- Unless they happen to be Shiny.

Ultra Balls of course. That's most logical xD

I'm trying to use Pokeballs on all the Legendaries I catch as I want all of them to match (currently caught Victini, Zekrom and Kyurem with just Pokeballs).

I did use my Masterball on Tornadus, though as I didn't want to go through the bother (plus I was confident at the time that I could catch other Legendaries with Pokeballs).

Although, the Reshiram I got off the GTS (for my Tornadus) came in an Ultra Ball...
Annoying really...

I normally use ultra balls, but after a couple of tries (and the pokemon is still out) I'll alternate from what I have until I catch it xP
