I only have 6 badges! aha. :p

But on my last reset ; Gengar used Shawdow Ball! A critical hit! (Ho-oh is down to around 2-5 hp)
Ho-oh used Sunny Day!
Gengar used Hypnosis!
Ho-oh fell asleep!
[player] used a Ulrta Ball!
...
Ho-oh is caught! My first try. :'3
Then I caught Lugia with a heavy ball.

This time, I'm not planning to use those two. I'll prob catch them then release them.

I use what I always use.

I always use my dusk ball, since I always play at night. I also like the dusk ball. I probably could have caught Lugia with an ultra or a great, but I wanted to use a dusk ball for some reason.

Ultra Balls mostly, though in my English SS I caught Lugia in a Heavy Ball.

To all those who desperately cannot catch a Lugia/Ho-Oh I have to key.. It's called...


A Heavy Ball

DualGaming August 8th, 2011 7:11 AM

Ultra and Dusk balls mostly.

abhi123 August 16th, 2011 10:07 AM

i caught lugia in the first quick ball i chucked :D

Super Red August 17th, 2011 6:17 AM

I used an Ultra Ball on both of them. I had to save my Master Ball on the Legendary Dogs like I usually do. It didn't take so long to catch Lugia (It took me maybe 5 minutes with 10 Ultra Balls) but Ho-oh was terrible. I had to reset about 10 times before I finally caught him. After I caught Lugia I started training him with the three Pokemon I usually train in the game. I never really use Ho-oh. I will probably use him to defeat Red.

AtomicRebirth August 17th, 2011 10:23 AM

I don't even remember. I'm sure it was either a dusk ball or ultra ball. I'd have to check.

...............

Nevermind, I guess I used a heavy ball.

123wert50 August 17th, 2011 10:31 AM

I caught it in an ultra ball, cuz I don't wanna wast my Master Ball on a bad poke. :P

Blizz August 17th, 2011 10:56 AM

I used Master Ball. ;) Then the rest of legends are very hard to catch. Specially Suicune. :P

Buttered Coat August 19th, 2011 4:16 AM

I had already caught Entei and Raikou and they were damn hard to catch, and I knew Ho-Oh had the same catch rate, so I just did the lazy thing and threw my master ball. I had nothing else to catch with it anyway XD

TheFred August 19th, 2011 5:30 AM

I'm more a Timer ball... took 5 hours to catch...

funrush August 19th, 2011 6:54 AM

I have HeartGold and I used the Ultra Ball to catch Ho-oh. I'm saving my master ball for either Lugia or Mewtwo.

Vectron August 19th, 2011 7:17 AM

I used ultra balls on all but latios, which I used a master ball. (Gotta love latios!)

Momaster99 August 19th, 2011 8:55 AM

ultra ball on lugia, actually i havent caught entei yet which is getting on my nerves... i saved my master ball for latios

PokemonLeagueChamp August 19th, 2011 9:39 AM

First try: used all 35 Ultra Balls, fail.
Second try: used 35 Ultra Balls and a few Dusk Balls, fail.
Third try: used 35 Ultra Balls, Dusk Balls, and a Heavy Ball, fail.
Fourth try: "**** this." Master Ball, caught.
I regretted it after I realized Mewtwo was in the game.

Westie7 August 19th, 2011 1:00 PM

I believe I used an Ultra Ball on both of them.

Awkward Squirtle August 22nd, 2011 3:01 AM

I caught Ho-Oh in a Premier Ball. And not just an ordinary Ho-Oh, either...

It had 1 PP left when I caught it :P

It took forever to get all those Premier Balls and actually catch it... I'm glad it didn't KO itself!

Shiva86 August 22nd, 2011 3:21 AM

I used dusk balls to catch both. I hate using the Master ball, I prefer to use the good old fashioned method of catching tough Pokemon.

Shining Raichu September 16th, 2011 2:11 PM

I always carry 50 Ultra Balls with me to such occasions, and every time it seems to be that I manage to catch them when I have just seven left. I think seven is my lucky number in Pokemon lol. So basically I used 43 Ultra Balls on each before they finally decided it wouldn't be so bad to come hang out with me and finally allowed me to catch them.

Faolan September 16th, 2011 2:15 PM

Ultra balls, of course.:P

SalamenceV September 25th, 2011 1:08 AM

I caught Lugia with an Ultra Ball and with Ho-Oh I used a Poke Ball (first time I ever caught a legendary with a Poke Ball.)

Flame Mistress September 25th, 2011 1:24 AM

I'm pretty sure I caught Ho-oh with a Master Ball. I was a noob back then.

Juzey September 25th, 2011 2:00 AM

Master Ball. I know, I'm lazy.
