I got like 40 turn freeze hacks with Gyarados, so I just kept throwing Ultra/Dusk balls until I caught it.

Also, salmence33 means that he/she couldn't catch it after getting it to one hit point and making it fall asleep, so he/she gave up and threw his/her Masterball.

I ended up getting it down to very little health and used many many ultra balls...so many that it ended up killing itself with struggle after it had no pp. I ended up having to go buy dusk balls, did the same deal, caught it in a few tries :D I was happy. Untill I saw it's lax nature

It was late and my patience was done, so I chucked the Master Ball just as it began. I'm waiting for some five more of them from a friend, so whatever. xD

It really never fails. I heard there was a glitch if you overuse Master Balls, there are slim chances that it may fail. But that is off topic I guess d:

I paralyzed and threw an ultra ball. It failed so I threw a dusk ball and caught it easily.

I simply used a Master Ball to catch Giratina. I figured there was no point of using anything else, since I can just trade or migrate a ton of Master Balls from my Pokémon FireRed. ;D Ehm, using a cheat, of course. But it's not considered cheating as much if I cheated on another game and traded it, is it? ;3

I would have have used a bunch of Dusk Balls if I couldn't do that. But I could. 8D

I wanted to catch a shiny Giratina in a Quick Ball (blue and gold :P).
Ensue a series of unfortunate crits and Effect Spore activations.
Five shiny Giratina later, I finally got it :\

Nen caught it with a Master Ball. x.x
I put Giratina asleep, then struggled for about an hour whittling down the danged thing's HP
. After throwing at least a million Ultra Balls, I eventually just decided to get it over with.
Catching Pokémon
was never one of my strong points. xDD;

Easy:

• Weakened it
• Status infliction(sometimes)
• Timer Ball

I was hoping to use a Dusk Ball though, but oh well. :(

Got a link that can show that, AFAIK the formula never changes, and a Master Ball has a catch rate of 255x so it will never fail...
