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...

brownkidd June 23rd, 2010 5:10 PM

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

redsaber5859 June 25th, 2010 7:56 PM

Great balls were used, on mewtwo and articuno, POKEBALLS

Droidz June 25th, 2010 11:02 PM

I used an Ultra ball to catch my Lugia. It took me about 15 shots.

chella182 June 26th, 2010 4:20 AM

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.

HugSomebody June 26th, 2010 12:04 PM

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

PaxAmericana June 26th, 2010 7:32 PM

I caught mine around midnight one night with a masterball, cause i was about to go bed and i had to catch it fast.

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty June 27th, 2010 5:26 AM

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.

Azure-Supernova June 27th, 2010 5:29 AM

Pokeballs... all my Pokemon are in Pokéballs...

§1 June 27th, 2010 12:53 PM

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

AceOfSpades0707 June 27th, 2010 6:32 PM

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.

solaris knight June 28th, 2010 7:48 AM

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.

mooglehunter June 30th, 2010 7:01 PM

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

NickofTime June 30th, 2010 9:18 PM

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

Jasonpower June 30th, 2010 9:20 PM

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:

redsaber5859 June 30th, 2010 9:49 PM

Ultra ball. It was just to easy for me.

Charizard★ July 1st, 2010 5:14 AM

Lugia Quick Ball (1st try)
Ho-Oh Master Ball

Le Creep! July 1st, 2010 3:35 PM

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. -.-

ShinyBill July 1st, 2010 3:39 PM

Lugia - Dusk Ball
Ho-oh - Timer Ball

Turnabout July 1st, 2010 5:46 PM

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..
