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.

Tanaki July 1st, 2010 8:13 PM

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.

Sylveon July 1st, 2010 9:51 PM

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.

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.

Pokestick, good times. July 2nd, 2010 6:50 AM

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

nm legend July 2nd, 2010 7:49 AM

so far i just caught ho-oh with 4 ultra balls.....it was harder to get a plain absol for some reason

hever July 2nd, 2010 11:00 AM

I utilized one Ultra Ball for Lugia and I haven't caught Ho-oh yet.

Faline July 3rd, 2010 7:45 AM

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.

mr0hks July 14th, 2010 9:45 AM

a ultra ball after like 300 of them lmao

Volumknappen July 14th, 2010 9:52 AM

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.

Rich Boy Rob July 14th, 2010 9:55 AM

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

Telekinesis July 14th, 2010 10:19 AM

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?

Iceshadow3317 July 14th, 2010 10:51 AM

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. )

§acred†Beo! July 14th, 2010 10:53 AM

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.

RaichuPwnsPikachu July 14th, 2010 5:17 PM

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

Lukar July 14th, 2010 10:11 PM

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.

pokemonloverXD July 14th, 2010 10:49 PM

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

X Latios July 14th, 2010 11:03 PM

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 :(

TanGone July 14th, 2010 11:11 PM

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.

Solodomo July 15th, 2010 1:00 AM

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.

Guillermo July 15th, 2010 1:15 AM

I've been doing a Pokeball only run, so obviously I caught both Ho-Oh and Lugia in a Pokeball.
