ever caught a legendary with a regular pokeball?
 
have u ever battled against a legendary pokemon and caught it with a normal pokeball, and not an ultra,great,master,net, or any other ball?
for me i tried to catch rayquazza with a regular ball but failed, but..i succeded in catching lugia with a regular IN THE FIRST TRY BABY!!!!!!!!

SacredMiKeY December 12th, 2009 9:23 PM

i went through pearl only catching legendaries with pokeballs
BTW mesprit and cressilia were the roughest lol

Pokeyomom December 12th, 2009 9:33 PM

Never actually. Haven't even attempted such a feat:p I did catch Lugia in a great ball the second or third try!

thedestinedblade December 12th, 2009 9:49 PM

That's some luck. I would usually just throw regular pokeball till I ran out, and then follow with great, and ultras.

I caught my very first legendary. I caught my Mew with a Pokeball. I think my Charizard went and burnt it and I just waited until it got to the red and I threw it.

i have caught a moltres and a articuno in leafgreen both with a regular pokeball no great,ultra or master.

Moltres111 December 13th, 2009 4:19 AM

Never in RSEFRLG.

I did catch Regigigas in a Poke Ball in Platinum, though. After chucking a billion Dusk and Ultra Balls. <_>

I got extremely lucky back in my old blue version, first turn, threw a pokeball and caught it. i remember dropping my Gameboy in shock and yelling in the car as it was on our way to vacation :p

I caught Rayquazza in a premier ball if that counts.

I have a firend kyogre and groudonn with normal pokeballs in emerald. He wasted about 2 hundred ultra balls on each of them. I caught deoxys and mew in emerald with normal pokeballs (after using an ar to get there) but only using the masterball glitch. aka. press a+b at the right time and it will be a master ball. It works to make you more likely to catch a pokemon but by no means does it make normal balls act like masterballs.

I caught Snorlax in Pokemon Blue with a single attempt from a Pokeball, but that's the only time I've ever been able to do it in my nearly twelve years of playing.

Sand Alchemist December 13th, 2009 1:43 PM

The Mt Ember Moltres. After 18 Ultraballs, I throw the Pokeball I had and catched it.

Sydian December 13th, 2009 5:27 PM

I've caught Entei, Giratina, Heatran, and Palkia in a PokeBall before. Moving to GPG since this applies to more than the advanced generation.

Ayselipera December 13th, 2009 6:01 PM

No I've never even tried. I think the closest ball to a poke ball that I ever caught a legendary with was a quick ball.

GlitchCity December 13th, 2009 6:11 PM

xDD on platinum I caught all the legendaries with pokeballs, I still have my masterball but now I have a problem. WHAT AM I GONNA USE IT ON NOW?

Klofkac December 15th, 2009 12:02 PM

Yep, I caught moltres and mesprit.

jamieh6621 December 15th, 2009 12:08 PM

No, I have tried it on Palkia and Giritina, sadly to no avail.

Tears In The Rain December 15th, 2009 5:46 PM

Nope not with regular balls, but I did however in my late Silver catch Lugia with a great ball. I had stupidly not bothered to check my stash before I went into the whirl islands, I thought I had plenty. After annoyingly stumbling around I finally found him, battled him until he was ready and then discovered that the only ball in my stash was a single great ball. Since it has been so annoying getting there however I had just decided I would keep using it until it worked(I had saved in front of lugia). So I throw the great ball that first time and.....SWEET VICTORY! Caught him, and named him Great/one after how he was referenced in pokemon 2000.

I then used an escape rope to get out, FOR THAT I was prepared lol. Boy I missed that game. :(

Shadow December 15th, 2009 7:20 PM

I nabbed Kyogre in Sapphire with one. Luck had been horrible to me and Kyogre was Poisoned, so it was the turn before I was about to have to reset the game.

Kudo December 15th, 2009 7:45 PM

Well, not a regular old pokeball, but in SoulSilver I DID manage to catch Zapdos with a Heal Ball (after wasting around 10 ultra and 20 dusk)

Same here. I had only stocked up on about 5 Ultra Balls, being such a seven-year old idiot.

I did that with Groudon, but luckily caught it with one ultra ball xD
Since then I've never ever caught a legendary that easily.

Freez December 19th, 2009 2:31 AM

I have never had good enough luck to accomplish such a feat, I've certainly tried though :/

~Trebuh~ December 19th, 2009 2:58 AM

Yeah,Actually i caught all legendaries in all 3rd Gen Games using pokeball,Exept those event pokemons,Lugia,Ho-Oh and mew and the other non catchable legendaries,celebi,jirachi and deoxys cause i dont have any gameshark or action replay,my mom wont let me buy one on Ebay :(
Its like a SUPER FLUKE xD

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 19th, 2009 3:28 AM

Nope, because usually at that point in the game I don't have any regular Poke Balls with me anymore. I upgrade my hardware as it becomes available in stores. I just don't have the patience, lol
