Pokeball or Ultra Ball?

[Fire_Floatzel]

Do you think the ultra ball or just a plain old pokeball is better for catching legendaries.

in my opinion i would have to say pokeball. I NEVER caught a legendary with an ultra ball in any pokemon game, but yet, i caught articuno and ho-oh and groudon with a pokeball in my ss. my brother was also able to catch dialga with a pokeball on his first try in platinum.
also, what is your opinion on premier balls

Ultra Ball > Poké Ball, I caught a lot of legendaries with Ultraballs, expecially in the III gen (in the IV we have dusk balls, timer balls, quick balls, etc)

Premier Ball is good to.. to.. (...) be in your bag for the style.

Poke Ball, never failed catching a legendary before

Ultra Balls have a better catch rate than Poké Balls so naturally I'm going to choose them when facing off against a legendary. Money usually isn't a problem as they don't cost so much in the first place so I'll get about fifty and if I'm lucky I'll catch it.

Ultra Ball. I have caught most of my legends using it. I never caught a legend using a Pokeball though :/

Ultra Ball. The chances of catching some legendary Pokémon are incredibly low even with an Ultra Ball. I wouldn't dare try it with a Poké Ball, even just for a laugh.

Premier Balls are good for firewood.

Pokeball. It's lulzy that I catch the majority of my legendary Pokemon in those.

it actually doesnt matter. I've done the math and unless you use a false swipe/Sleep combo so that the math is maxed out, UltraBalls are just as effective as Pokeballs because any higher than 2 hp and not being Asleep/Frozen, the catch equation will default to the secondary equation where the ball type doesnt matter. So quite literally, catching legendaries is mostly up to luck.

Bulbapedia, type in poke ball, it will bring up the catch rate of each ball

Ive caught pretty much all my lengends with ultra balls THERE AWESOME especiallly in plat when your catching Dialga and Palkia i caught them both 1 shot with an ultra. but ive never really tried catching a pokemon with a premier ball

 

[BillySwane]

I use Pokeballs.

Why? They're awesome.

NEST BALL, MF

best ball ever
though the coolest is the park ball, its gold

 

[Le Creep!]

In the Diamond game, I seemed to have caught all the legendaries with a Dusk Ball.

However, using the Ultra Ball, I usually got about 3 shakes out of it, the Pokéball = fail.

For the first two generations I used to rely on Ultra Balls. After Generation 3 I caught most things in Pokéballs.
Also, Premier balls are awesome. xD

 

[RivalGator]

I always catch Pokemon with Ultra Balls. Always have, always will.

 

[Ruin Maniac]

Dusk ball all the way, I think it's deffo better than an ultra ball in a cave. I just hate it with an ultra ball when it shakes three times and releases, takes the biscuit.

 

[Hibernator]

legendaries? either ultra balls or dusk balls, others? balls what i feel like using but mostly either pokeballs or premier balls, idrc about catch rates

 

[Malachia]

I always use a pokeball. I think it just looks the best and it is nice seeing a strong pokemon come out of one.

 

[Heart's Soul]

Ultra Ball > PokeBall > Master Ball

You know it's true.

I agree, it has to be Pokeballs. Ive seen people use Dusk balls, Timer Balls, Quick Balls, Ultra Balls, everything, and fail. But they throw one Pokeball and they catch it. Its hilarious. Its like they say, the original will always be the best :D
