Caught Rayquaza in a Nest Ball
 
It's supossed to work better on weaker pokemon. But it was the first ball i through, after it fell alseep. It was facing a level 21 tentacool.....weird

Just a simple pokéball could have done the trick too.... just go in with a lots of balls, you just have to get lucky!

Shinin May 10th, 2005 11:31 AM

Once I caught Regice with a pokeball. It's all a matter of luck.

C Sherbii S May 10th, 2005 2:22 PM

Wow. That is lucky. I never get lucky like that when it comes to catching special Pokemon!

raquaza12345 May 23rd, 2005 4:23 PM

i cauight rayquaza wit a pokeball

Champion Taylor May 23rd, 2005 4:24 PM

I had to use a Master Ball...

Squeegee Beckenheim May 23rd, 2005 4:44 PM

I made my big mistake in Emerald by catching Rayquaza with a Master Ball. Luckily in Ruby I have a Master Ball I can give to Emerald to catch Latias!

Dragon-Chan May 23rd, 2005 4:55 PM

I just used my Master Ball....A while ago I ALMOST caught Groudon with a Timer Ball but I needed to wait a few more turns...

Happy Dude May 23rd, 2005 10:14 PM

Yeah it's all on luck.

I caught Lugia with a pokeball.

Eon-Rider May 23rd, 2005 10:16 PM

Just like what everyone else said, it is mainly on luck.

Lord Jaws May 23rd, 2005 11:23 PM

By weaker they mean health wise. I was out of other balls so I caught my Ray the second time around in a Nest Ball too. XD From then on, whenever my big bad Rayquaza came out, it had a pretty ring of hearts around it. XP

i caught mine with a pokeball yup a pokeball but i had to use 20 ultra balls and 32 pokeballs before i didn't use any great balls. I didnt try to catch it with a great ball because i dont like the way the great ball looks like do u?

Squeegee Beckenheim May 24th, 2005 10:09 AM

No, the Great Balls are kind of tacky. I can't stand them. They are good for the period of time you must use them, but once Ultra Balls are available I throw mine out the window!

Dragon-Chan May 25th, 2005 1:24 PM

I caught my Ruby Rayquaza (the master ball was in my Emerald) in a Great Ball. I've tried everything except great and poke balls --- dive balls, net balls, confusion, paralysis, wasting all its rest PP, poison, burn, etc. except great balls. I caught it today (after a painfully long time of using Timer and Ultra balls), just by having it whack itslef down to red with confusion. I went to the sky pillar just to see it again, then I thought maybe i'd battle it. So I ended up confusing it down to redness and just throwing a great ball at it. Presto -- it was caught without a status problem and only one Great Ball. Apparently legendaries are resistant to Ultra and Timer balls.

As others said, it's a matter of luck. I caught Kyogre with a Great Ball, but I didn't even attack it or anything beforehand.

Dragon-Chan May 25th, 2005 1:41 PM

Excuse me if I sound sarcastic...i'm trying to be polite, though..anyway, i'm a little sceptile (skeptical) that it's all just luck if i've been trying in vain to capture Rayquaza with every strategy possible and then, one day, just catch it, with no status problems, false swipes or anything fancy with a Great Ball. I'd say that Rayquaza is immune to Ultra Balls.

I've caught Rayquaza with an ultra ball before. ;) There's no such thing as immunity when it comes to Pokeballs. It's all about luck. You have a set percentage chance of catching a pokemon based on a ton of factors - level of pokemon, pokeball type, amount of health on pokemon, status problems, etc. But even if the pokemon is at full health, and you just throw a dinky little nest ball at it, there actually is a chance it will work. It's so miniscule it's laughable, but the chance is there every turn. So don't think your ultra balls are jynxed. Trust me; it's all just a matter of odds.

I caught a Registeel for my friend with a Great Ball. After 20 Ultra Balls, 2 Nest balls, and 1 Timer ball...I tried a Great Ball...and I caught it...

DeoxysOwns22 May 29th, 2005 7:47 PM

Just a few hours ago I caught rayray on the 3rd ultra ball I threw. Didn't even touch em so it was onkly the third turn...

Gyardosamped May 29th, 2005 7:53 PM

Sometimes it happens and that was a lucky day!

Alistair May 30th, 2005 6:29 PM

I caught Registeel with a Premier Ball, and I caught Suicune (in Colloseum) with a Pokeball.

Datriot May 31st, 2005 4:04 AM

that's not fair! whenver I get to fight legendarys I takie ages and have to try millions of times!
the only lucky catch I've got is catching Mewtwo on FR/LG at half health and not asleep, but that was with an Ultra Ball.*sob* I always have bad luck!

Dragon-Chan May 31st, 2005 6:08 PM

If a Premier ball is the first ball you use, it acts like a Great Ball.

Rikku-chan May 31st, 2005 6:44 PM

That is just plain lucky. I caught it with a plain ol' Pokeball.
