Lugia must've had like 1 HP since I caught it with the first ultra ball I threw after whittling down its HP and paralyzing it into a coma. Feels good man.
|
Ho-oh in a dusk ball and wasted my masterball on lugia :)
|
Ultra Ball for both. Both killed me or itself (in the lvl 70 Lugia's case) several times before I caught it on my first try.
The odd thing is that the Lugia killed itself, and it was 20 levels stronger than my team (and I had a lvl 10 Psyduck) and the Ho Oh was 2 levels stronger, and it wiped me out. |
I used my master ball. I'm suck. :p
|
I used my Master Ball on Lugia, thinking I wasn't gonna attempt to catch Raikou/Entei/Latios. Now, I regret it. I haven't attempted to capture Ho-Oh yet.
|
It took me about four tries to capture Lugia when I confronted it. The fourth try being the most successful of course. I had kept going with the same tactics I had kept in mind, which was lowering Lugia down to 1HP with False Swipes by my Scyther, placing it to sleep with my Poliwhirl's Hypnosis and then just throwing Ultra Balls until I caught it.
Well, this turned out to be more difficult than thought out, because Lugia kept haxing me with Critical Hits and actually hitting my Pokémon even though some of his moves were not at full accuracy. Luckily, it didn't take too long to capture it after I placed Gyarados up front, which wore Lugia down for the first set of the battle. This ended up saving me time, my Pokémon and items. At the end, I caught it with an Ultra Ball. Sadly, it's a Brave Nature, which sucks. :\ Good thing, I have no real plans to use it though. |
After like six tries of repeating: "Feraligatr used ice fang! Lugia was frozen. Lugia thawed out!" I got lucky and caught it in an ultra ball.
|
dusk ball for lugia after countless pokeballs and resetting, I capture Ho-ho with full health using a quick ball,lol ( I own SS).
|
I'm not done yet all the requisits to catch Ho-oh on HG but (as always do) i'll use normal Pokeballs to catch it and the same with Lugia =)
|
With Ho-oh, I caught it with an Ultra Ball after knocking down its HP and paralyzing it. For Lugia, I used a Heavy Ball after weakening it because I got sick of throwing Ultra Balls. xD; I didn't think it would actually work.
|
I got my Lugia in a Masterball...Wanted to continue the story really bad
|
Ultra ball, took me 36 of them but i got a ho-oh
|
i bought 30 ultra balls for caught lugia... but i waste all balls and i reset the soft... and when i fight again i fight with a shiny lugia (who really sucks) and ME: Lol? after that i hit him and when he got red life i used the first ultra ball and lugia get caught :B
|
I KO'ed it a few time by accident, but other than that no resetting, I only use moon balls and Dusk balls, but I don't remember how many I used in the end caught both with Dusk Balls(Love the shadow portal effect of them).
|
i traded a master ball from platinum, and now i have adamant ho-oh and rash lugia both in master balls :D
|
I used an Ultra ball on Lugia. Was the fifth or the sixth... Of the second battle. I knocked him out first time and had to reset. D:
|
Don't get all jiggy because you caught Lugia in a Poké Ball. :P I caught Lugia, Entei, Raikou, Suicune and Ho-Oh (in order of capture) in Poké Balls.
|
I wasted my master ball on Lugia -____- after I ran out of ultra balls. Lame.
|
Is he /actually/ possible to catch? He was burnt, down to a sliver of health (you could barely see it...) and I threw and Ultra Ball, and it didn't even shake. Not once.
Isn't there some A+B masterball trick that apparently helps? |
I always use a poke ball. I have only had to reset 4 times.
|
I kept trying to catch Ho-Oh in either a Poke ball or a Great ball, but of course that didn't work out, so I ended up having to chuck my Ultra balls.
|
On my SoulSilver, I Ultra-Balled Both. Lugia took exactly 7, Ho-Oh took like... Err... 17-20 par example? Anyway, caught them both on first trial, minus Ho-Oh, I killed him accidentally once... Or was that my friend's? My friend wasted his Masterball on Lugia and Ultra-Balled Ho-Oh. Of course, this involved me adjusting Ho-Oh's HP. Such a lameo. |
Lugia & Ho- Oh Stories (Screen shots Welcome)
Share your most wild, crazy, or just plain Lucky battles against the mighty birds ^_^
I JUST caught (not even 10minutes ago(from when i post this) Lugia, and boy was i shocked, i loved the new battle music to it the fight, and i used a combo of thunderwave& flash (from my ampharos) and dragon rage,& wing attack (from my red gyrados,& crobat) to bring it into the red. i used my heavy balls, my heal ball, and my dusk balls and all failed miserably, so for a laugh i threw a pokeball and i caught it O_O Heres my screenshots ^_^ (this is my first legendary EVER caught with a normal pokeball lol) http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5771&pictureid=42226 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5771&pictureid=42227 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=5771&pictureid=42228 |
awh that's awesome. i wish i could have something cool happen |
Cool story, bro. You seem to have put in some nice effort in your post. So instead of closing, I'll just merge this with another Lugia/Ho-oh thread we have already. It's back a few pages, so it'll give it a nice bump back up so people can see it and continue its discussion.
|
Caught Lugia with a Dusk Ball and Ho-oh with an Ultra Ball.
|
Brah brah...I used a Master Ball.
I'm so stupid -_- Well, i can blame my laziness. Hehe, but it's okay. |
Ultra Ball and Dusk Ball respectively for Ho-Oh and Lugia.
I kept killing them sometimes....critical hits psh. |
Dusk Balled HO-OH - Palkia took it down to 1% in one shot and then caught it on the second ball
|
A masterball, due to the fact I have horrible luck outside of the safari zone for catching Pokemon. I'm too impatient to keep resetting, and too lazy to do so anyways.
|
Pokeball on the 3rd try. :)
|
Lower his HP to the red area... and use a master ball if u still have it from Prof Elm
|
i am soft reseting for shiny lugia in pokemon soul silver
if i found it i will throw masterball cause i can midgrade from emerald ( batlefrontier clone glitch ^^) |

I'm on vacation and after trying 6 hours yesterday and 1 hour today, I gave up and used my masterball. I mean Lugia is the reasons I got the game because he couldn't be obtainible in any other game.
|

|
i caught lugia in a ultraball and i caught ho-oh in the masterball because it refused to be caught so i gave up after about 2 hours of trying.
i didnt attempt to catch them shiny because im to lazy to soft reset. |
I used an Ultra Ball on Ho-Oh. I wasted my Master Ball on Raikou -_-...
|
well i caught lugia level 70 with a greatball. that was in the first pokemon gold.
|
I used an Ultra Ball on both.
|
I used my Master Ball on Ho-oh cause I wanted it REAAALLY bad XD
My next goal is to try to catch Mewtwo...without it. :P That will be interesting. I have no idea what i'll use on Lugia though. I never knew people would reset and reset just to a shiny....thats crazy. |
I had to catch lugia with a master ball.
ho-oh i wasted my 2 premier balls and 5 ultra balls on it so i had to start throwing 60 pokeballs at it until i caught it on my third pokeball |
I caught Lugia in a Master Ball like every other Mascot Legendary.
I have yet to catch Ho-Oh... UPDATE: I just caught Ho-Oh with a Ultra Ball! |
I have a huge stock of master balls from trades, so I'm using a masterball on all the legendaries. Besides, what else would you use the master ball for? I just think its best to use them, not like your gonna find a better pokemon than one of the legendaries. xP
|
After countless resets, I finally caught Lugia with a quick ball and Ho-oh I caught with a Ultra ball. Don't know why I caught them, I hate legendaries.
|
Caught Lugia in the Master Ball because...I ran out, and it was my last option. Tried Ultra with Low HP AND PRZ. I have horrid luck. I hope my friend will let me have my Mewtwo back that I traded from FireRed. I dunno why.
|
recently caught Lugia SS in a heavy ball after throwing only 10 dusk balls now it gets to set in my box forever!! muwah ha ha ha !!!
|
I used a Master Ball for each of them.
|
I used an ultra ball to catch Ho-Oh on Heart Gold it was so simple
|
every legendary that I own that I have caught myself have been with Dusk Balls...
|
I used Dusk Balls to catch Ho-Oh. I caught it about ten times, just to get a good nature and IVs. Each time took 20 or more Dusk Balls. (It was at 1 HP and Asleep, of course.)
Didn't catch Lugia yet, but I'm planning to use Heavy Balls. (Dive Balls when I run out.) I believe Lugia falls in the +10 weight category, so Heavy Balls should work well. |
I've captured Lugia by Ultra Ball. I've done one Soft-Reset, because Lugia was burned and just faint by this thing xP
Don't wanna any shinies... i like only shiny Charizard... |
Ultra Ball on the first try and he had at least like 15 HP. Kinda' regret not resetting for a better nature or shiny, but whatevs. Probably gonna' get HeartGold and try my luck again.
|
I can't remember what I used on lugia but I'm pretty sure it was an ultra ball and I know I caught ho oh with an ultraball because I just caught it this morning. It actually wasn't all that hard, but it did take quite a bit of struggle. I used my master ball on mewtwo (he's the god of all pokemon or at least was, so I figured it was appropriate, plus he was the hardest to get to.)
|
I use Timer Ball to catch Lugia. Took a lot of pain getting the Timer Ball, because I have to get those balls from the lucky draw at Goldenrod City.
I use Dusk Ball on Ho-Oh. It is the best to catch legendaries with this ball as Timer Ball is out of option. I catch it at night. |
Great ball on Ho-oh. Haven't caught Lugia yet. I'm a little less likely to get a great ball to work on Lugia since it's level 70. X_X
|
Great balls were used, on mewtwo and articuno, POKEBALLS
|
I used an Ultra ball to catch my Lugia. It took me about 15 shots.
|
I used a Dusk Ball to catch my Lugia. Got it in two shots.
Got my Entei with one, too, 'cause I caught it at nighttime. |
I caught Lugia in one lucky shot with a heavy ball. =D
Ho-Oh wasn't as nice; it took around forty chucks of Pokeballs to finally get him. xD |
I caught mine around midnight one night with a masterball, cause i was about to go bed and i had to catch it fast.
|
Masterball on Lugia. I had him at 1HP and fast asleep, and ran out of Ultra Balls. I got another one sent up from my LeafGreen for Raikou.
|
Pokeballs... all my Pokemon are in Pokéballs...
|
they were both pretty easy for me, pachirisu paralyzed em, and super fanged em til they were in the red; then used a couple dusk balls
|
Lugia - Dusk Ball
Ho-oh - Ultra Ball Heavy Ball = Great for catching legendaries. They're mostly pretty heavy. I still have my Master Ball and the only legendaries from SS I need are Entei and Rayquaza. |
I caught Lugia on my second throw, with a heavy ball. Forget what I caught Ho-oh with, could have been an ultra ball, although I remember throwing a luxury ball at come point during the battle.
|
I caught ho-oh with an ultra ball, but this brings me to mention my favorite legendary catch ever. i swear to god this happend. i caught all 3 of the regis using one pokeball on the 1st turn without soft reseting on the same file
|
i caught ho oh and lugia in a nest ball
you know the one that says WORKS BEST ON WEAK POKEMON thus proving that lugia and ho oh are only useful fried and in my stomach |
I cought Lugia with a great ball and it was my first pokeball i threw at it:rambo:
I cought Ho-oh with a Dusk ball, it was night when i encountered it:nervous: It just goes to show, if you keep trying, you'll catch it.:classic: |
As said earlier, I caught them with great balls, however found letter did this, happened in my HGSS challenge thread

Ultra ball. It was just to easy for me.
|
Lugia Quick Ball (1st try)
Ho-Oh Master Ball |
With Lugia, I was stubborn enough to think that catching Ho-Oh would be a breeze without the Master Ball. So, I caught Lugia with a Master Ball.
Ho-Oh, on the other hand. I would rather not talk about it. FRUSTRATION. IT WAS PARALYZED, HAD A TEENY BIT OF HP LEFT AND I HAD ULTRA BALLS. Obviously you people know where I'm getting at. -.- |
Lugia - Dusk Ball
Ho-oh - Timer Ball |
I use dusk balls for like... everything now, but I love them <3
So most of the legends I catch are in dusk balls :B Ho-oh and Lugia proved to be really nasty catches though.. |
In my HeartGold, I caught Ho-oh in my master ball because it was really late and my team was really underleveled. However in my Soulsilver, I caught Lugia in a great ball! XD XD XD
|
Dusk Balls. Ever since 4th Gen first came out, I catch all of my legendaries in a Dusk Ball because the animation looks epic when you send it out.
|
Ho-oh was always more of a pain, and I only caught him once with an ultraball. Although I've managed to catch lugia on several occasions with a heavy ball, ultra ball, dusk ball, and even friend ball.
|
For Lugia, I was really lucky. I had it's health about halfway, and then I threw a Pokéball and caught it.
For Ho-Oh, I used several ultra balls and finally caught it. |
Caught both with master balls.
|
What Ball I Used
I used the standard Ultra Ball to catch them both. However, I kept soft-resetting to get the natures I wanted so I wasn't too picky on which ball they were caught in.
- Jirachi² - |
I just stocked up on a lot of Pokeballs. sure it took a while but it was cheaper.
|
First I used 10 Dusk Balls. Then my Weepiinbell outspeeded Ho-Oh and used Sleep Powder. Captured it with second Ultra.
|
Lugia - Dusk Ball
Ho-Oh - Ultra ball It wasn't too hard, really. It was really fun! I love catching difficult Pokeymans, that's what I play the game for >:D |
so far i just caught ho-oh with 4 ultra balls.....it was harder to get a plain absol for some reason
|
I utilized one Ultra Ball for Lugia and I haven't caught Ho-oh yet.
|
Ho-Oh was difficult and I took several tries before catching it. I waited until afternoon and caught it after five Ultra Balls and three Dusk Balls (remembering the trick with them, which made things easier). I did the same thing with Snorlax, who was almost as difficult to catch.
As for Lugia, I still have yet to catch it, but I will get it at some point. |
a ultra ball after like 300 of them lmao
|
I just used a Master Ball. But this is because my friend told me to do so, i thought he was a Pokemon "pro", but no.
Catching Ho-Oh was suprisingly easy. Only used a couple of Ultraballs and the job was done. |
Lugia - Heavy Ball, took 1 soft reset as I only had 3 and I caught it on the 4th
Ho-oh - N/A, Haven't reached that far into the game yet |
Im playing SS, so I caught lugia easily with an ultra-ball.
Had to use a Masterball on Ho-Oh tho. Who needs MBs anyway? |
I have HG. I just caught Ho oh with Master Ball.
I caught Lugia with Dusk Ball. ( I've caught all my legendaries with Dusk Ball except Mewtwo. And that took 1 Moon Ball at full health. ) |
I went all bug catcher style on Ho-oh using a butterfly net! Then I used a fishing rod on Lugia!
In all seriousness though I used a Masterball on Ho-oh and an ultra ball on lugia. |
i caught ho-oh in a fast ball (the only pokeball i had) and i caught lugia with a heavy ball i had a love ball 2 when i caught lugia
|
I caught my Ho-oh (HeartGold) with an Ultra Ball... I was hoping I could get it in a Poke Ball, like I did with Kyogre in Sapphire, but I ran out of 'em.
|
The pain!!! DX I caught my Lugia with the master ball... I'm lame, I know! It was my mistake for not save b4 I faced the beast and that time I wasn't very well-prepared didn't have that much ultra balls with me so my master ball was a bye bye. Sad, isn't it? Well at least I caught Ho-oh with a quick ball which was very lucky
|
By pure chance I managed to catch Lugia with the first pokeball I threw at it while it still had just under 1/4 of its hp left. Still to catch Ho Oh after having throw countless balls at it :(
|
First time I seen lugia I battled the thing down to sleeping and 1hp left, just couldnt catch it. I then ran out of balls SR'ed and threw a quick ball and caught it first try. I was so pissed but happy.
|
omg...Ho-oh was the hardest to catch. I used like a billion ultra balls on him and turned off and on my game so many times and one time i made an accident a made him faint =/.
then i went after Lugia and had not much problems with him and i used ultra balls. |
I've been doing a Pokeball only run, so obviously I caught both Ho-Oh and Lugia in a Pokeball.
