Well.. Why wouldn't it?

I caught my first Dialga in a Timer Ball, and plan to do the same with my second when this one i'm looking at decides to Shine ':<
During a few "test captures", it usually caught within the first 10 turns. Soo it would have been no more effective than a Poké/Premier/Luxury/Heal Ball.

Personally I think GF should have given the player the Master Ball after you meet Dialga/Palkia, 'cause it's predictable that most people are going to use it on them due to the automatic notion that they will be insanely difficult to capture, yet in reality, it being by far unneccessary and could be better used on one of those Legendaries with the dismal catch rate of 3.

And to the original poster, I only see the question "what Ball did you use to catch Dialga in?", what about those who are playing Pearl and are up against Palkia? xP

I can't believe I wasted a Master Ball for a Pokémon that's catch rate is 45. I'm so disappointed in myself.

I used my master ball. Now I am kicking myself for it. I really want that one in Turnback Cave! I can knock it down to the red zone with dialga's supereffective Draco Meteor, but I still can't seem to catch it... Usually I just put it to sleep and chuck ultra balls at it until it knocks out all my pokemon in between naps, or I run out of ultra balls. Whichever comes first.

Dialga has a much higher capture rate than most legendary pokemon, so you can probably catch it in any ball you have without much trouble. Both Palkia and the Shaymin that you find in the Flower Asylum have the same capture rate.

Dialga I caught in the Ultra Ball, nothing special there. Palkia I caught in the Net Ball. It is a Water type, after all.

My first time playing diamond I caught it in a master ball, kick myself after doing that. Then I restarted, caught it in a dusk ball, plus it shiny and then on my third restart I caught it in a timer ball.

I caught mine in a Dusk Ball. I had a very tough time with my Dialga actually. It turned out to have high IVs. BTW, I was on the GTS and Palkia seem to be comodoties (SP?). There are like only 3-6 online whenever I check and they never have Lustrous Orbs, while Dialgas are diamond dozen (no pun intended).

More people have a copy of Diamond than Pearl, so Palkia, which is available only in Pearl, is sought after.

I think you're right, though. There's no reason for people to be so stingy with Adamant/Lustrous Orb. It's not like they will do anything for any other pokemon.

I used a Masterball because i thought because it is like the pokemon of the game i guess, it would be uber hard to catch and i didnt know there were umm mespirit? i think thats it, and the other 2. So i used loads od Ultra Balls for the first 2 that dont flee and got a Mespirit from the GTS cause i cant be bothered catching it. :)

P.S i probably got those names wrong. i dont play Diamond Much, im more a 1st+2nd series fan. :)

I caught Palika with an Ultra Ball in one throw. I was amazed. Of course, I did lower its health first.
