    On my Leaf Green I entered the battle against mewtwo with my articuno to try and freeze it, it died so then I sent out my Sandslash, I weakened it down to red health and it then used recover several times until it reached full health , annoyed I wanted to switch my pokemon with it being hit as soon as I sent it out so I went to waste a Poke' Ball on it so it would kill my sandslash but it actually caught it, I was suprised because it was at full health with no status ailments.

    New rare find-ok so it's more of a catch than a find, but I caught the 3 legendary birdies from Fire Red with Poke Balls... and they weren't asleep, poisoned, etc... no special conditions. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the Poke Ball on this game works like an Ultra/Master Ball lol

    Those aren't my proudest moments. Mine was catching a shiny Whismur in Emerald. I was quite gleeful when I officially caught my first shiny. (and yes, in a Pok?ball!)

    This exact same thing happened to me! Shiny Whismur, met at Rt. 116, caught with a Pok? Ball. (only thing I had ^^;) I've also caught a Shiny Natu in Sapphire's Safari Zone, and had the utmost luck of running into Latias about 5 minutes later, while I wasn't even looking out for it! =D

    This isn't supposed to be your *proudest* catch. It could be, but what I'm looking for is the "rarity" of the Pokemon catch. For all I know, it could be a Shiny Latias, or even a plain 'ol shiny Zigzagoon. Heck, it doesn't HAVE to be shiny; I'd just like you to post your rarest catch-that's it.

    Mine=Entei with a Pokeball, and Rayquaza with a Great Ball. The only other "rare" catch would be Chimecho and Feebas, but Feebas doesn't count once you find it, and Chimecho... I have not seen one since my first copy of Sapphire *I'm on my 5th or 6th btw, and I own two copies now lol*
    Well. Shiny Swablu, Lv18, met at Route... I dunno, but near Rustboro. And I caught Articuno in LG after 15 times of restarting the game and using Ultra Balls, and catching it with a Great Ball. O_O;

    I guess it counts if you're trying to catch Groudon for your friend and do it with a Poke Ball.

    Shiney Ledian.
    Latias (regular)
    and a Feebas would have to be my rarest catches.

    One time I cought a Snorlax lvl 50 with a ultra ball and it had full life. I was just messing around when I threw a ultra ball real quick and I cought it!

    I don't really know if this counts as me catching it, but...

    I was trying to get Rayquaza from Ruby. I had tried for at least a week, off and on. My little cousin Kris picks up the GBA and gets the darn thing in 5 minutes! I don't get it!

    I was just wandering which pokemon i could catch with all the rods on the right side of cinnabar island, next to the lab, and I used old rod - Krabby level 5- I don,t need it !!! next good rod- Krabby level 10- what,s going on I thought I like krabs but isn,t there something much more exiting? O.K. next - Super Rod- Krabby level 15 - GOLDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE !!!!!!!!!!!!
    I Stood like frozen for 12 min exactly !!!! That is the first time I understood what a shiny was !!! and then,after louering its health I cought it with a pokeball and it had only 1 HP lefh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    after that I believed that if i encounter the same pokemon 3 times and it,s level increased with 5 the last must be different colour :) but after 3 hours trying to repeat it i went in the internet and I got info :)
    another is my latias with a great ball from the firs time with full health when I was searching for the key to the regies :)

    I caught both Kyogre and Groudon first time thankfully!
