Newmoon Island Darkrai Capture Speed?
I was just wondering how fast everyone caught the Newmoon Island Darkrai that was released over Nintendo WFC (August 3rd - Sept. 13). I just caught mine about 5 minutes ago in 5 turns with 3 Pokeballs used. 0 Failed attempts.
1. Electabuzz used Iron Tail. Darkrai used Double Team. 2. Electabuzz used Iron Tail Darkrai used Faint Attack. Darkrai was Paralyzed. 3. First Pokeball. Darkrai is gripped by paralysis. 4. Second Pokeball Darkrai used Double Team 5. Third Pokeball. Darkrai was captured. And yes, I do mean Pokeballs. Not great, ultra, etc. |
Greene used Master Ball. Darkrai was caught.
|
Rofl good job, Greene! True player! :D
|
I must admit that I also just used a masterball. ^^; I was lazy.
|
I just had dialga use roar of time, take his HP down to 1 and then I threw a ultra ball and caught him. Real simple and easy.
|
1. Giratina used Dragon Pulse
Darkrai used Double Team. 2. Giratina used Cut Darkrai used Hypnosis (What ever its called) Mespirit used Yawn Darkrai used Double Team 3. First Luxury Ball 4. Second Luxury Ball 5. Third Luxury Ball And this went on with me putting rai to sleep and then i caught him in my luxury ball (Same catch rate as pokeball) Dark rai was caught. Too bad i forgot to save so i used like 50 pokeballs total for nothing lol |
Nice job, Riggzyd :) But you didn't number your turns right, it seems. I figured it out though. How many Luxury Balls did you use?
Raging Lucario: Very nice. Pokéballs just look a lot nicer than Ultra Balls to me :) Good job to whomever else wasted a Master Ball on him. It was an incredibly easy capture. |
Well when you have 30 Master Balls and you are SR'ing for a good nature, why not use a Master Ball?
|
Well, I made a nice Smeargle to help me catch Pokemon so yeah.
1. Smeargle used Spore. Darkrai is fast asleep. 2. Smeargle used False Swipe. Darkrai is fast asleep. 3. Smeargle used False Swipe. Darkrai is fast asleep. (1 Hp) 4. -Insert Name Here- Threw a Pokeball. Darkrai was captured. I love my luck. Timid - 23/24/10/31/14/28 |
Umbreon used Toxic
Darkrai is now poisoned. Darkrai used Hypnosis. Darkrai's move missed. Darkrai was damaged by poison. Luis used a Dusk Ball. /shake shake shake ding Wild Darkrai was caught! Yep, that's about it. :t353: RickySlaughter |

i went through literally every ball i had on me and decided ot use my master ball,since i was transferring one from my ruby. |
@Greene: What's a good nature for Darkrai?
@Mages4ever: Dude, that's frikkin' lucky :P @RickySlaughter: Nice. I'd be afraid to poison him. Then again, you can always SR and do it over if you remembered to save lol |

@ 11Q: Timid |
Oooh... I think I got a timid one. I don't know though. Any other battle logs to share?
|
Hahaha i thought this would be hard but it was really easy. I used 2 dragon claws with Giratina and then i put him to sleep with Roserade Grass Whistle. Next thing i did was throw a pokeball at him and he didn't move. I threw a second one and bam caught easy as pie, he is rash nature i hope thats good.

Nice job Larock. Same amount of turns as me and 2 less Pokeballs :P lol
|
Thanks man i just wished i could get him ev trained from someone since i cant do it for crap i suck i would trade anything to have this guys fully ev trained.
|
Lol I'm sure someone on this forum wouldn't mind doing it for you :) Or study up on your EV's and do it right yourself, but practice on something else first so you don't nurf it :D
|
Are you any good at ev training bro?
|
Nah man. Never really bothered with it since I'm not into competitive battling.
|
Damn well me neither man but i love this pokemon and i want him to be perfect so if anyone is willing to do it for anything from the game plz let me know.
|
I SR'd trying to get Max Sp.Atk IV and others but I couldnt so I only went for max Sp.atk I would have been lucky if it was a shiny.
|
Yesterday was my greatest Pokemon day ever. My team on Platinum was infected by Pokerus and on Diamond I managed to Void Glitch (completely accidentally, I wish I knew how I did it T_T) to Newmoon. Bad thing was Darkrai wasn't there!!!!
So it went like this 1) I walk to where Darkrai should be 2) Darkrai isn't there 3) I shoot myself in the forehead. |
Mine started out well, but ended up rather anticlimatic.
Basically, I found a shiny Darkrai, and expected a long, drawn-out battle. After paralyzing it, and False Swiping twice, I caught it with three Dusk Balls :\ But at least it's shiny, and IV-wise it's pretty good. A 31 Speed IV is better than 31 Sp. Atk any day :P |
I lost my copy of Platinum. TT -TT
...If I hadn't, though, I would have sent over one of my three Master Balls from Diamond and caught it all anti-climaticlike (I need all the Pokeballs I can get for Mesprit). |
I had a shiny Darkrai, so I just got this one for the heck of it. But I retaught my level 100 Marowak False Swipe, he used it and then I put out a seeping inducing Pokemon with a Quick Claw, put Darkie to sleep and then I threw 5 Ultra Balls at it and caught it
:t354:TG |
Masterball. It took maybe five seconds. It was timid, had really bad IVs, but I didn't feel like SRing any more so I kept it.
|
quick ball. twice. then done.
|
i just used the masterball that i surprisingly didnt resort to using when catching mesprit

excluding AR's... |
*after 100 or so resets*
*sparkle sparkle* Wild Darkrai appeared! Rachel used Masterball. Darkrai was caught! Me- YES. SHINY DARKRAI. |
Quote:
Well... once I get through my other Platinum. |
Good job on Shiny Darkrai, glace :) But I've heard it's harder to trade off shiny events if they're in a masterball? That may just be me. Idk. Also, good job to everyone else who did it really fast. The 2 quickball thing by MiniEggs is pretty funny imo.
|
i just threw about 200 pokeballs until i finally got it...
|
I had one from Diamond so I didn't care about getting Darkrai in Platinum.
|
Lol nice ThisIsJust. I don't have the patience to do that.
Chrono, I have 5 Movie 07 Darkrais on my Pearl, but this is a totally different event, which is why I bothered to get my National, see Cressellia, and waste 10 minutes on the initial event for it before Sept. 13. lol |
Scizor used false swipe.
darkrai used hypnosis missed Scizor used false swipe Darkrai used double team Scizor used false swipe. down to 1 Darkrai used Faint Attack switch to Gardevoir Darkrai used Faint Attack! Gardevoir used Thunder Wave! darkrai is paralyzed! Anon used Ultraball! then my battery died |

It took three tries to get the right nature,and many more tries to actually catch the blasted thing, but it pretty much went down as:
-- PORYGON used Tri-attack! DARKRAI fainted! *Reset* PORYGON used Psychic! DARKRAI fainted! *Reset* PORYGON used Discharge! Critical hit! DARKRAI fainted! *reset* PORYGON used Discharge! Critical hit! DARKRAI fainted [from laughter]! *Twelve resets later* *ding* *Dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun!* "... ...Relaxed nature! Gah!" *slams head against wall* *Many more resets later mixed with tears and sweat* *Dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun!* -- And that's how it happened. The Dusk Ball complements Darkrai perfectly. |
I used my Dusk Balls when I caught my Giratina. It looks really cool. Am I the only one who uses Pokeballs that would look cool with the Pokemon that is caught?
Anyways how do you catch legendaries like Mesperit that just ran away every time you throw a ball at it without the *shudders* Master Ball? And what does RNG stand for? My head is spinning O.o |
I threw two quick balls at it and I owned it. :l
