Is Giratina worth catching?
 
I just got to Giratina, and I'm trying to catch it with a luxury ball. (it matches with Giratina!) But I'm having a hell of a time catching it. I wanna give up, but It took my a while to actually find it.

Should I waist my time trying to catch it, or just give up? Is it a pretty strong Pokemon?

I don't even have a master ball.

Budgie March 1st, 2008 1:56 PM

I havn't caught him, but I could imagine him being a strong pokemon. Perhaps try put the pokemon to sleep at a low HP or perhaps posion him - Don't give up

Silhouette March 1st, 2008 1:57 PM

Well, it isn't worth a Masterball (but no prob: you don't have one.)

I have one that just sits in my PC, and I don't even know where it is due to so much reorganizing.
It's def. worth it if you are trying to fill the pokedex, but it is not as good as it seems.

But it is about the strength of an OU poke. Maybe you could use just for the type and what stabs it gets.

I think its impossible to catch it with a luxury ball. Otherwise catch it, and train it because its really strong and has cool moves. ;)

Le_Avatar March 1st, 2008 2:00 PM

IMO, you can get a pretty good phys.wall out of it with a Impish or Bold nature...
Or an average Uber phys. or spec. sweeper, be it either adamant or modest...

I've actually gotten really close. It rocked 3 times, but it came out.

ShadowofTime01 March 1st, 2008 2:17 PM

It took me a couple tries to get it, but hang in there! I've never used it in a battle, but a ghost dragon could be useful. It took me a lot of ultra balls to get it. It's definitely not a bad pokemon.

Silhouette March 1st, 2008 2:19 PM

Not bad, but there's better pokes out there.

Do not give it off in the GTS. You'll regret it.
Man.. I miss my Regigigas..

El Gofre March 1st, 2008 3:27 PM

In game: Yes. As with all legendries it rocks
Competetively: Again, this thing rocks. It's uber tier though, you wont be able to use it in regular games. But I use it as my uber physical wall and it does the job well :)

Psykotik March 1st, 2008 3:56 PM

his HP isnt too bad, i cought mine with a great ball (freezing does wonders ^^)

it depends on your play style, some people like offence more, some viceaversa, and some like it to be evened out :\

El Gofre March 1st, 2008 3:58 PM

Its HP isnt bad??? Its base 150!
Thats pretty damn good to me.

Silhouette March 1st, 2008 3:59 PM

He used a swear word. It's gotta be good.

Psykotik March 1st, 2008 4:02 PM

lmao... i ment it in a "very nice" manner :P

yea... it took me 3 rounds for my lvl 60 infernape to get him to his "red zone" XD

Psykotik March 1st, 2008 4:12 PM

he made a nice addition to my little dragon collection... im gonna get 6 dragons best i can, and go online and get owned by everyone :D

but if you go against say... bunearry... or anything with mostly normal attacks, it would have a snowballs chance in hell XD


(thats not a set fact, thats just from personal experiance... so please dont quote me :D)

Azonic March 1st, 2008 4:46 PM

Please, I advise you to use a Dusk Ball to capture it. It is four times as reliable as a Luxury ball.

Oh and use Drifloon and a Normal Pokemon to catch it. Shadow Force takes two turns so you know what turn its going to hit, so switch into a Normal Pokemon. Drifloon is immune to all its other attacks. XD

And to answer the question: Yes! Giratina is one of the most popular Uber Walls, along with Lugia and [email protected] It can wall especially well. Its HP is enormous, along with its defenses, it can make a heck of a wall. So please, catch it.

LastExtacy March 1st, 2008 5:26 PM

Kind of why you DON'T use luxury balls to catch ubers.

umbros March 1st, 2008 5:41 PM

Don't listen to the nay-sayers. Catch it with whatever you want. I went to great lengths to catch my Regigigas with a premier ball (same chances as luxury ball). The Drifloon thing works wonders, by the way. Using my Rotom and Bibarel (Rotom's levitate subs for Drifloon's flying type), I caught Giratina without really having to worry about it at all. And it's totally worth catching. It's an unusual type combo, the first legendary ghost type, and as everyone has already said, a fantastic wall. I don't even use legendaries and I like the thing.

LastExtacy March 1st, 2008 5:48 PM

The closest thing i have ever seen was my neighbor catch a regirock with a pokeball.

umbros March 1st, 2008 6:00 PM

False Swipe and Sleep Powder. Shyeah. Takes forever, though. And I had to buy a lot of sets of ten pokeballs to get that many premier balls.

☆Stardust☆ March 1st, 2008 6:31 PM

Well, I like to catch my Pokemon with a Pokeball that goes most with them. (don't know why)

I'll try and catch it then. I know I might regret it later on..

Thanks guys!

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 1st, 2008 7:15 PM

yes every Pokemon is worth catching don't you want to complete your pokedex?



:t354:TG

Katastrophy March 1st, 2008 10:08 PM

He's ok but not worth capturing in a Luxary Ball i'd go Dusk Ball it looks pretty cool I think and would be a heck of a lot easier than the power of a standerd pokeball.

lostprophetsown March 2nd, 2008 3:58 AM

to be honest i just like catching all pokemon and having their data in my pokedex on my other pokemon pearl not 1st one 2nd 1 i have completed kanto johto and sinnoh dex cba to do the hoenn dex but trust me its just nice to have the dex data

*LuckyStarIsLucky* March 2nd, 2008 4:09 AM

believe me, giratina's are AMAZING. mine at lv.100 has every stat above 200 and 450 hp!

Vexar March 2nd, 2008 7:24 AM

It can turn the tied if legends are allowed in battles.

Those extra ghost moves come in handy. I haves one, he rock ^^.

Anyways.. Yeah if you can get it, it's worth having.
