need help
 
is there any way to cath legendarys easy

Toadboy October 8th, 2007 3:28 PM

sure, throw a masterball at them.

Most the legendaries are pretty easy to capture.... quickball/duskball or a few ultraballs.

airconditioning October 8th, 2007 3:29 PM

Yeah, Master Balls are pretty much the only way to catch them easily.

Really, the only Legendary that was easy to capture was Palkia/ Dialga. I got my Palkia in a single Ultra Ball.

pikachoo456 October 8th, 2007 3:33 PM

shalashaska October 8th, 2007 5:42 PM

Not really, since the enemy will have full health.

quickballs have a high percent catch rate when used at the start of the battle, thats how i caught my palkia

pluslefan October 8th, 2007 5:53 PM

the quick balls only work on regular
pokemon not leganderies.

Shiraishi October 8th, 2007 5:56 PM

Use the rattata of death. Which is a lvl 1 rattata with this moveset.

Endeavor
Quick attack(DO NOT USE THIS)

If you wanna use quick balls, send in something you wanna let die, let it die and then set out the Ratatta of death. To use the Ratatta, you use endeavor when the (insert legendary here)tries to OHKO you. Even if they don't, it's ok because you will have 11-12 HP which is good enough.

quickballs CAN be used on legendaries, it simply doesnt work 50% of the time on them, like i said i caught my palkia with a quickball and know ppl who have caught some legendaries with quickballs too

and maybe because Palkia has a catch rate of a Skarmory.

Death-tata, I have named it. If you're level 1, it's really great since you'll drag them all the way down to 1HP.

Though, this simply doesn't work if your Pokeball fails and the Pokemon has Recover or some form of it or even if the enemy Pokemon doesn't try to OHKO you for 5 turns for some reason and you run out of Endeavor PP.

Skymin October 9th, 2007 3:47 AM

Uh, ... eh-what?

I don't get it, can you explain that process a bit better? I don't really get it, since if the Legendary has higher speed, it can easily kill it, or is there something I can't see? X_X

Toothache October 9th, 2007 4:36 AM

Yes, Focus Sash, cos even if the legend attacks straight off, you're still gonna survive to Endeavor them down to 1 HP, and if they don't attack that's 10 HP they are down to which still hurts anything without Recover or any other healing move.

Angelic Diablo October 9th, 2007 4:52 AM

It's a shame it fails against Giratina and the like

Could also use a level 100 with False Swipe

Gallade is great, Mean Look, Thunderwave and False Swipe is a sure fire way to make sure any non ghost legendary falls to your whim (even the runners thanks to Mean Look)

Yeah, you're talking about "FEAR". That's a good strategy, actually, never came to think of it myself.

I wouldn't personally use Master Ball on Palkia/Dialga/Uxie/Azelf, since they're relatively easy to catch by weakening them and using Dusk/Ultra Ball.

Lady Nicole October 9th, 2007 6:05 AM

I recommend Dusk balls for the legendaries in caves.
I caught my Uxie with a Quick ball...then I reset it because it had really bad IVs and the second time I caught it with a Dusk ball because I thought it looked cooler at the time lol.

MissMegano October 15th, 2007 5:59 PM

It seems that when I concentrate really hard on the poke ball getting tighter and tighter, it catches it. Or maybe I'm just retarded. :)

Lol no, I do that sometimes! When I'm really frustrated I imagine I have psychic powers to keep the ball shut XD

anuway how do u get darkia???????

pigeon315 November 12th, 2007 11:17 AM

all of the legendaries can be caught without a masterball, the key is to use a high level pokemon when throwing a ball (full hp) and weaken the foe as much as possible and start with quick ball, then ultra balls or special balls and finish with timer balls

OBJECTION!

Celebi and Jirachi cannot be "caught" without the use of a cheating device. instead, you can only "obtain" them via Events.
Also, you can't "catch" Manaphy, you hatch it from an egg or recieve it in an event.

Oh, and FEAR Rattata works like a charm.

DarkrAI was only available at a giveaway in Japan, which took place along with the Pokemon Movie. It's called Movie Darkrai.
Someone should be able to get you one in the Wireless Trade Center though.
