  • After getting Articuno down to about 5 HP and paralyzing him, I throw 24 Ultra Balls and he breaks every one of them.. I have 8 Great Balls left so I decide "What the hay? Might as well try these." After throwing 4 Great Balls he is suddenly caught by the 5th one after knocking out 3 of my L44 pokemon with Ice Beam. Yay for me I guess. :laugh:

  • I've caught Kyogre with a Pokeball (In Sapphire), Mew with a Pokeball (in Emerald), and Moltres in two turns (in LeafGreen). All depends on luck...

    And we may make some sort of legednary pokemon luck thread or something...

  • I second the motion for the bragging thread...I just hope I have something to brag about someday o_o;;

    Well it took me exactly two great balls to catch Zapdos in LG. Other notable achievements of mine include encountering Lugia on silver, then weakening it, paralyzing it, and then capturing it with a heavy ball, and...uhh...well, let's just say that my record on pokemon games for luck isn't too spectacular <_<;;

    I had a heck of a time with Moltres. I had 19 Ultra Balls with me and I threw 15 of them at him after getting his HP almost all the way down and then putting him to sleep.

  • In Colosseum, I threw Net Balls at all of them with half HP, and they all got caught on the first try.

    I also third, or fourth or any number the bragging thread. It would be very useful for braggers like ourselves. :D

  • Let's see...

    Entei, with a Pokeball in Yellow health
    Rayquaza in 3 turns.

    That's about all my bragging rights.

    BTW, Great Balls are better than Ultra Balls for catching the Regis, I found. I have 2 out of three of them in a Great Ball, the other being in an Ultra Ball. In fact, Ultra Balls aren't always the best for catching any Legendary, because they're more likely to break out of an Ultra Ball than any other.

  • i have terrible luck like that...mewtwo took my master ball :( :\ i tried to catch it with ultra balls. it was literally paralyzed so bad it could only move like, once every 3 turns, it had only a tiny thing of hp, probably about 3-7 hp, AND it had run out of usable moves and struggled it'self to death. it was at that point that i gave up on trying to catch it with over 50 ultra balls and just tossed the master ball at it. heck, i can always cheat and get the masterball again in ruby version when i restart it, give it to one of my pokemon and send it over to fr... :P
