I paralyzed Lugia and then brought his hp down with by using discharge, once he was in the red I used flash repeatedly so it's accuracy fell and then kept tossing ultra balls till it was caught after maybe 16 of them being thrown.

If I remember correctly, I caught my Lugia in a Heavy Ball, and for Ho-Oh, I used a least 45 Pokeballs, just to catch that darn bird.

The dusk ball always seems easiest for me but I have been forced to use the master ball on occasion.

Ho-Oh in HeartGold: Ultra Ball
Lugia in HeartGold: Heal Ball

Lugia in SoulSilver: Poke Ball
Ho-Oh in SoulSilver: Have not bothered to go catch it.

Yeah... xD

Lugia: Ultra Ball
Ho-Oh: was cheap and used my extra masterball.

Heavy Ball for Lugia Dusk ball for Ho-oh

Linkdude231 January 26th, 2011 10:03 AM

it took me a while, but i used dusk balls and ultra balls, i just can't remember which one i caught it with in the end.

Comedic-Sidekick January 26th, 2011 5:41 PM

Gave up on Lugia so I threw the Masterball.
Took a while but got Ho-oH in the Ultra Ball. Twas quite the capture. :3

Hypno January 26th, 2011 7:09 PM

Both of them in Pokeballs. It took me a while but in the end, I was able to.

333Bl4ck January 27th, 2011 2:20 AM

a premiereball made it after i used all my hypers XD

Intaglio January 27th, 2011 3:47 AM

I'm playing HeartGold only, soo:

Ho-oh: Master ball, just because I love the ball's effect.

Lugia: Funnily, I caught it with a Dive ball. It only takes about 9 toss with its health down to half. Yet on my 1st encounter it took nearly 50(!) Ultra balls, before it struggled and fainted himself.

I used a Master Ball to catch my Lugia in Soul Silver. It was embarrassing when I think about it.

infernaperoxx January 28th, 2011 9:08 AM

I used a master ball on lugia and a master ball on ho-oh(yes i cheated)

Sesen January 28th, 2011 10:52 AM

Masterball...

I fought him over and over again using my Ultras but it just never happened because my luck sucks. So instead of keeping it up I finally got frustrated and restarted so I could stuff him in my Masterball. Then I put him in a PC box by himself and told him he could sit there for the rest of the game and suck it.

I used Ultra Balls. I save my Master Balls for running Pokémon (or I just don't use them and stockpile them--I think I have about 5 or 6 from various games xD).

jab2033 January 28th, 2011 11:21 AM

Caught Ho-oh in a Dusk ball after wasting about a dozen. I had used up all 50 of my Ultra Balls. It's HP was in the red and it was paralyzed.

I reseted, weakened and Paralyzed it, and caught it after about 10 Ultra Balls.

Kamitsure-chan January 28th, 2011 12:23 PM

Master Ball on lugia cause i"m lame. I forget what I used on Ho-Oh, I think it was a Friend Ball XDDDD

Lareske January 28th, 2011 3:20 PM

I caught it at night with a dusk ball...went in after my second try so naturally I was quite pleased with that :p
I don't keep restarting to get shinies...I don't have the patience for that and I would just get frustrated ;p

olih January 28th, 2011 6:06 PM

I used Master Ball. Did you know you don't even have to battle the Pokemon if you use a Master Ball? I tried it with my Kyrogre in Sapphire. Anyways, I did not Soft-Reset, don't really care about shinies...

Nice way to show him who's boss

I've bought a lot of Ultra Ball and catched both with those.

Elsword January 29th, 2011 4:59 AM

An Ultra Ball.
The classic.

Pokemon Trainer Touko January 30th, 2011 3:15 AM

xEoNx February 1st, 2011 12:06 PM
