Dialga/Palkia
 
4 Ultra Balls, ridiculous.

Now I'm starting to miss the annoyingly hard to catch legendaries.

I caught Dialga in 3 ultra balls on red health and Palkia with my first ultra ball on orange health. (I usually get to red but I confused it by accident so I thought 'Toss away!'.

I'm sure Dialga was harder in Diamond.

Anyway, the point in this thread, who wasted their master ball on them? D:

Wichu September 7th, 2009 8:12 AM

Me, but I had loads cloned from Emerald. Besides, I was SRing it anyway, so I wanted to catch it as fast as possible.

mervyn797 September 7th, 2009 8:36 AM

i used the master ball, its for saving time, which is more important than masterball

AlphaMightyena September 7th, 2009 8:56 AM

They were so easy to catch in Platinum. But becouse i had the bus was heading tawards school and about to drop me off , (yes, i bring my Dsi to school) i used my Master ball on Palkia.

Has Anyone Noticed that in pokemon games (with a legend mascot) that that particular legend is harder to catch in that game?

I wasted my extra Master balls on them in Pokemon Platinum because I just want to catch them and get through the game

I just lobbed quick balls coz i had 6 strong pokes, who either OHKO'd them, or got pwnd, and lotsa weak ones.

But yeah, Dialga is harder in Diamond.Still never used my Masterball on it though.

Fenrir Reki September 7th, 2009 12:58 PM

I didnt. I caught Dialga with a dusk ball lol. I try not to waste my master balls on catching pokemon unless its my last one and im desperate.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 7th, 2009 1:57 PM

Dusk Ball for me. I would only use a Master Ball if I wanted to catch one for an uber wi-fi team. It beats whittling the thing down only to discover it has a Brave nature:/

Otherwise, I save the Master Ball for the wanderers. And import multiples of 'em over from my repeated playthroughs of Sapphire and Leaf Green.

Yep. I've had Diamond and Platinum and both were hard to catch.

I wasted my MB on Giratina but on Dialga I tossed some UBs.

not exactly. in my diamond game i caught dialga on my first Ultra Ball (4 hp remaining). Giratina was another story: 27 Dusk balls and 10 Ultra Balls

heheheh-heh-he-h I-i Use-ed a M-aster B-all heheheh-heh-he

Tudj September 20th, 2009 12:04 AM

I caught them quick as I had 148 pokemon on my Sinnoh Dex. Then I realised I had seen them so it was pointless.

LethalTexture September 20th, 2009 1:28 AM

It's because their catch rates are stupidly high. Their catch rate is 30, which compared to the normal legendary catch rate of 3, makes a huge difference to ease of capture.

I caught Palkia on my Pearl first turn with a Quick Ball.

Haza September 20th, 2009 1:38 AM

Yeah, they were easy to catch. Giratina gave me trouble though. Is his capture rate lower?

Queen September 20th, 2009 1:51 AM

I didn't waste my masterball on Diagla.
Easily caught it within a few ultra balls.

Polizard September 20th, 2009 3:04 AM

They have gotten easier to catch then legendary pokemon from not to long ago (Kyroge and Groudon) had catch rates of 5 which is very difficult to catch While Dialga and Palkia have catch rates of 30 which is still a hard pokemon to catch but not to hard so the facts say that Dialga and Palkia are much easier to catch then previous legendaries

SPEEDIE September 20th, 2009 3:10 AM

i didn't use my master ball on either i tossed a few ultra balls and went god that was easy

Gulpin September 20th, 2009 5:22 AM

I havn't wasted my masterball in Platinum yet, and I'm even going around catching all of the other offered legendaries (Regis, etc.)
