4th Gen NEW UNBELIEVEABLE RECORD :D

[Ger Japa]

I've just caught Giratina, before talked to it i saved the game in case i miss it i can try again.

But guess what, just when the battle started i threw Quick Ball and after 3 shakes, 3 stars splashed then i unbelievably caught it, with only one ball!!!

UNTIL NOW I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT :D

Hope catching Dialga and Palkia and Arceus will be the same :P

 

[zommy08]

my battle with groudon:
wild groudon appeared! go meganium!
meganium used body slam (1/4 of groudon's hp)
wild groudon used eruption O_o
(I knew that groudon had rest so i was waiting for it to use it to get a higher catch rate)
used one pokeball!
(listening to ds speakers)
shake... shake... shake... click.
gotcha! groudon was caught! LOL

This is me VS. Suicune in HG !

Wild Suicune appeared !
Go ! Typhlosion (Lv. 51) !
Typhlosion used Lava Plume !
3/4 HP !
Suicune used Rain Dance !
Seco threw a Quick Ball !
Crosses fingers ... click ... click ... click ... ... ... ... .........................
BAM ! SUICUNE WASN'T CAUGHT ! EHEHE !!! Gotcha ! Suicune was caught !

On my friend's game I tried so hard that when I caught Suicune I nicknamed him "I Hate You" !

 

[Flare Riqueza]

Lol. I got 3 shakes on Raikou with a Timer Ball in the first turn (no Mean Look, my pokemon were lv.25, but Raikou stalks me), but then it broke out

Dialga and Palkia on Platinum were unbelievable. I just hit Dialga with Fire Blast, then Ultra Ball, and Palkia with Thunderbolt (Raichu ftw!) then Ultra Ball, and voila!

Lucky you :p
When I was about to catc Giratina, I used 17 Dusk Balls and 4 Timer Balls.

 

[dozo]

I never have these fun things happen to me

maybe some day.

 

[Pearlone]

I had that happen to me twice in my life time.
1st Time was on Cresselia, I was hunting it down, but i forgot to put Wobbuffet in my team, so when I saw it I was like, eh what the heck i'll just throw a Quick Ball. AND I caught it.
2nd Time was on my friend's Heart Gold Ho-oh, it had i think half of its HP, and didnt have any status, and he had like 5 ultra balls, I threw the 1st one we both started praying, WE CAUGHT IT, we high fived and he gave me a dollar xD

 

[TheReal]

I caught all legendaries in Red with Pokeballs, good old times.

 

[jle1076]

what a waste of a thread, and twilight you KNOW this is necessary

 

[PiPVoda]

Wow, impressive. It took me about 30 minutes to catch my giratina on platinum. Pearl it only took around 5-10. You just got your easy one earlier on, so I predict that Arceus, Dialga, and Palkia will be harder.

 

[jle1076]

if they catch an Arceus in their games, theyre cheating

 

[pieguy259]

I Master Balled Giratina, so he wasn't a problem. Zapdos though, yikes. I lobbed more than fifty balls at the miserable blighter and he just would not stay in.

Arceus can be caught, isn't it :/

 

[Leophard]

I'm currently playing my first run through Platinum, and I encountered a Shiny Shellos.
But unfortunately I'm playing on Nuzlocke mode, so I couldn't catch it. Stupid thing killed my poor Prinplup as well... I hate Bide sometimes. :(

 

[jle1076]

No, theres no legal event to obtain the azure flute to obtain arceus, its obtained via cheat code

 

[Okami Chi]

Lucky. I wasted over 100 balls for every one of them. (Well got Arceus on an event, but the rest...stupid hard.)

OMFG, you caught GIRATINA that fast? it seems like i read somewhere that Giratina had a slightly lower catch rate than Dialga or Palkia, or maybe i'm thinkin about arceus...

 

[Blackhebrew2]

refering to an eariler poster who said this
Zapdos took me so long with and I wasted so many balls I threw about 45k down the drain I even brought out like a lvl 7 to hit him with small hits to get him to the ultimate minimum possible ultra ball after ultra ball (this is on LeafGreen,so I do not have the fancy balls from GenIV) but the dang bird would not cooperate. I felt like crying I shut the game off and never returned. until today,I started again though,this time with revenge in sight.

 

[Droidz]

I remember in my pokemon silver game i caught Lugia with a great ball without attacking or anything. It was pretty funny.
