Giratina ♀ August 11th, 2009 3:48 AM

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

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.

MiniEggs August 11th, 2009 9:53 AM

quick ball. twice. then done.

Togetic09 August 11th, 2009 10:19 AM

One word my friend: RNG. That's how we get them. I'll show you. Without hacking, I'll get a Timid Darkrai with the IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31
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.

Zodiac Realm August 11th, 2009 11:10 AM

i just threw about 200 pokeballs until i finally got it...

Chrono August 11th, 2009 11:12 AM

I had one from Diamond so I didn't care about getting Darkrai in Platinum.

Zacceh August 11th, 2009 11:18 AM

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

Calvo819 August 11th, 2009 12:41 PM

Scizor used false swipe.
darkrai used hypnosis

Scizor used false swipe

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.

Did you read the forgot to save part? i cant catch him now -.-

Mespirit was so easy it only took me 2 Dusk balls at half life O.o

Niprop August 11th, 2009 2:22 PM

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.

harig07 August 12th, 2009 3:52 AM

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

MiniEggs August 12th, 2009 4:02 AM

I threw two quick balls at it and I owned it. :l
