    • Master Ball, Ultra Ball, Heal Ball, Great Ball, and Poke Ball. I caught it many-a times, since I kept forgetting to charge my battery, or save. :/

    Master Ball was the last attempt, and the Heal Ball was the first.

    (Don't feel bad about the Great/Poke Ball, I used up dozens of Ultra Balls, and Dusk Balls, and it aggravated me each time. You should have seen some of the times we fought, and I lost, or it fainted.)

    I caught it with a Dusk Ball, I believe. I don't remember how many tries it took me to catch it, but I don't think it took me too long.

    • On my latest playthrough on Platinum, I've caught all the legendaries with a good ol' PokéBall, so yes, a regular PokéBall is what I used. However, first playthrough on Platinum I used a Quick Ball and an Ultra Ball on Pearl.

    • That was a Dusk Ball for the first time (but my battery died and I wanted to commit suicide)
    Then , unbelievably , I caught him in a PokeBall .
    Yes , it went like this :
    Abomasnow used Ice Beam !
    It's Super Effective
    Critical Hit ! (he had one single fricking line , so it was total luck)
    Giratina froze ! (now this ... this is LUCK)
    Seco threw his last DuskBall !
    Giratina broke free (oh sh*t ...)
    Seco threw Pokeball !
    *catching song* Giratina was caught !

    Yeah , I had a good laugh with my bro' afterwards ...

    • I kept accidentally killing him, so eventually I learned that Dusk Balls have a higher catch rate than Ultra Balls, so I bought a bunch of those and used them. It took a couple tries, but eventually I got it.

    At first I was trying to catch it with something other than a Master Ball. However, it started to not work out, so after about two attempts, I went and caught it with one of my few Masterballs, that my friend gave me. (legit or not, it saved me from throwing my already broken DS somewhere. =3= )

    • I restarted my Platinum. But I caught it with an extra Masterball that I got from my friend. He gave me like 10 xD.
    But this time, Im going to try to catch him with a dusk ball, or other than a Masterball.

    I used my Masterball in Platinum. Seriously, though. Giratina was being very difficult. I went through three! Three sessions! of using 70+ Ultra/Dusk balls with it having like four HP left. And It wouldn't let me catch it! >.<

    Same here! But oddly enough managed to get it in an ultra ball in Pearl Version.

    Since I don't have masterballs to waste... I actually managed to catch him in a normal Ultra ball. :P

    I kind of wished I's saved my Masterball in Pearl version for Crescellia and Mesprit, and although I ported more masterballs in from Fire Red, I still managed to catch crescellia and mesprit in ultra balls, by trapping them with mean look! I had dusknoir learn it from the tutor especially and then over-wrote it afterwards.

    Giratina was sooo much harder to catch in platinum than he was in pearl tho!

    • I only had like, 3 dusk balls, so after they ran out, I used about 40 ultra balls until I finally caught it.
