Caught Lugia in hg!
 
So get this i caught lugia in hg with one poke ball!! Anyone else have this kinda luck (also to find luglia in hg go to whirlpool islands first then look up the rest online srry cant remember off the top of my head) Lugia is level 70 it knows safeguard,aeroblast,punishment,and ancient power.You might also want to bring a fast pokemon that can paralyze,poison,or make it sleep ;)

^Well we have a thread asking what ball one used to catch Lugia/Ho-oh, so merged yours with that one.

Seki December 10th, 2010 6:13 PM

pokeball after my... 59th try? for lugia. As for ho-ho, 21st/22nd(cannot remember) try?

L5Animations December 10th, 2010 6:21 PM

Yeah, I SR'd for shiny Lugia. Only took about a week. But, I failed to realize I was low on good moves to use on it and Poke Balls. So, well, go Master Ball! Not happening for Suicune, though.

light_umbreon December 10th, 2010 6:23 PM

I caught them both with ultra balls very annoying

milk121 December 11th, 2010 12:26 PM

9 ultra balls for lugia
??? ultra balls for ho-oh

mrunner4home December 16th, 2010 1:14 PM

luxury ball :D I hate using ultra balls on legendaries, they're such a waste. quick balls are usually the best but I threw a quick ball at ho oh and it didn't catch. so I threw a luxury for the heck of it and it was caught. **full health

sirindair December 16th, 2010 3:31 PM

Heavy ball for Lugia. Ultra ball for Ho-oh. Ho-oh took only 3 tries too. :]

I used a MASTER BALL on Ho-oh. I don't mind, I don't care, and the following paragraphs will explain why:

You see, I bought HeartGold because of the new breeding mechanic that helps in IV Breeding. I told myself that once I beat the Elite Four, I'll start breeding. I really wanted to get my Water Team ready as soon as possible, especially since I stopped breeding for a few months so that I could go wait for HeartGold.

... Sure, when I played HeartGold, I took my time. I rushed Gold version back then, so I wanted to savor the adventure this time with HeartGold. I even spent some time trying out that card flip game in the game corner. Managed to get to the highest level, I think. But anyway, I lost all my patience when I got to Ho-oh. Seriously, it wouldn't stay inside the ball! So there. I used that Master Ball on him. Do I care? No. I've kept my patience ever since I started the game. Using that Master Ball was a small price to pay for everlasting sanity.

Did I ever finish breeding my Water Team? Yeah. Pretty much. (Now, if only the 5th Gen came later... But oh well...)

I was lazy and used a Masterball. I also didn't soft-reset. I like Ho-oh as it is.

Jeville December 18th, 2010 2:23 PM

I catch them with a plain Poké Ball. I just paralyzed it, dwindled its HP to red, and reduced its accuracy. I don't soft-reset for a shiny and I don't plan on using a legendary in any battle.

Pokemaster483 December 18th, 2010 9:06 PM

I was lazy, just used the Master Ball on Ho-oh, and I think I caught Lugia in an Ultra Ball.
I have never soft reset to get a shiny legendary... I wish I had the patience to though.

solarowl December 20th, 2010 12:31 AM

The first time, I caught Ho-oh in a great ball, second time, I just used a master ball because I was lazy. I caught Lugia in an ultra, because it was a higher level for me than Ho-oh.

Le Creep! December 20th, 2010 1:41 AM

I used Masterball on Lugia, but I've not used any ball for Ho-oh.. I can't catch the damned thing..

What a wretched Pokemon.

otaku-dono December 20th, 2010 11:22 PM

Master Ball since I hate it how you are forced to battle it, and forgot about the rematch thing and just wanted to get to the e4 asap.

beedy December 20th, 2010 11:48 PM

i tried using my ultra balls but i got too sick of waiting and used a master ball instead. i reset the game like 10 over times trying to get lugia wasting about 1hr

Kitrigar December 25th, 2010 11:55 PM

A large amount of Pokeballs as I was being too cheap to buy others. Haha.
Probably was more than 50 Pokeballs trying to catch Lugia.

Le Creep! December 26th, 2010 1:17 AM

I got Lugia with a Masterball, and Ho-oh with a Great Ball.

`Sean` December 28th, 2010 10:24 PM

I caught my lugia in SS recently with a pokeball, YES A POKEBALL. I literally just went down the list of different "balls" after I ran out of ultra and luckily I caught one with a pokeball.

Emperte December 28th, 2010 10:34 PM

I didn't feel like any long battles and caught them both in Master Balls

LuVrDiSC December 29th, 2010 12:56 PM

caught a Bold Lugia in a Master Ball level 40 or 45 whichever it is the 1st encounter. the Master Ball seemed like a good idea at the time... at the time hehe

RAWR ^_^ December 29th, 2010 2:11 PM

Caught Lugia about an hour ago on my first turn using a Heavy Ball ^_^ Was dead happy that I got it on my first turn and without using a Master Ball.

GlitchCity January 24th, 2011 5:30 PM

Um lets see, I used my masterball to catch Ho-oh, the one you get from Professor Elm. Then I cloned a few (alot lol) of masterballs on emerald and transferred them to Heartgold to catch the rest of the legendaries. NO THIS IS NOT CHEATING! It was a legit glitch in emerald. sue me. xD But I did manage to catch Suicune in a great ball!

Mozarch4 January 24th, 2011 5:33 PM

in ss i used tons of ultra balls to lugia and then with my first dusk ball he was caught for ho-oh i bought 70 ultra balls but he was caught with fourth or fifth ultra ball

vaporeon7 January 24th, 2011 5:36 PM

Let's see I used a Dusk Ball to catch Ho-oh because it was night time and a Heavy Ball to catch Lugia.
