ever caught a legendary with a regular pokeball?

[Ev Trainer X]

I've caught Rayquaza in my last pokeball after chucking 30 ultra balls at him. I had never felt such a strange combination of sheer, unrelenting anger and total relief.

I caught Registeel in a Premier Ball and Regice in a Dive Ball. Also Cresselia in a Heal Ball.

 

[Ekans Elttar]

Best I've ever done is Lugia in a Great Ball. I caught Snorlax in a pokéball in RBY once though...

 

[BHwolfgang]

I caught Giratina once with a Luxury Ball. Does that count?

At other times, I had to relied myself on Timer, Ultra, and (finally after an exasperated battle) Mater Ball(s).

[zach(kitty)]

Merged the "Have you ever caught a legendary with a normal Pokeball?" thread with the earlier (but still active) "ever caught a legendary with a regular pokeball?" thread. I think you all can guess why based on the titles.

Freaky, try to search your thread topic before jumping to that submit thread button. d(' 'd)

As for catching legendary pokemon with a regular pokeball, if I recall correctly, I may have caught Moltres way back in the day with it, that was Red version. :x

I caught my first Groudon in a Luxury Ball, which has the same catch rate as a Poké Ball. I think that's the only time I've ever been so lucky though.

 

[Brendonwii]

Yes mewtwo on pokemon red and on the ds ones i have almost ever legendary caught with a pokeball :b

 

[Tommmy]

I belive I caught a lugia with a great ball or something once. But that was a looong time ago!

 

[BartCiao]

Well, I have caught Darkrai with a Quick Ball, but it was already the 20st turn, so it had the power of a normal pokéball. I was really amazed:D

 

[Medli]

I literally just caught Palkia with just two Pokeballs. Yeah, his catchrate is a bit high compared to other legendaries. Ah, whatever. I laughed pretty hard.

I was just going to defeat it with my Empoleon for the experience, but I accidentally got it down to about 1-2 HP. I figured, "Why not?" and started chucking Pokeballs. No status afflictions either.

I nicknamed him "Win."

In Fire red I caught Articuno with one, I also caught Registeel in ruby and Dialga in Diamond in one. My brother caught Rayquaza in one lol.

 

[Glitch.]

i caught all the legendarys in pokemon yellow with normal pokeballs being a kid and not knowing there were better ones :P
