I somehow managed to whittle it down to around 1 health, then chucked Dusk Balls at it. Surprisingly, it only took about three tries. :3

First I paralized it and then put it to sleep. Then I reduced it HP to 1 and ended up catching it with a timer ball after wasting a few ultra balls.

Got it's health down to about 20, threw a Masterball at it, and caught it just fine. It was surprisingly easy, actually.

I weakened it to around 10HP, put it to sleep and used about 4 dusk balls. Soon enough, it was all mine.

Oh yay! I love Giratina it's one of my favorites. ^^

I caught it in an Ultra Ball after battling it down to where it had only a few HP left, then putting it to sleep.

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

There was no way I could've whittle down a level 47 Giratina's HP with a level 65 Infernape without destroying it, so I was forced to use a Masterball. I also did not bring any Pokemon that could inflict a status condition against Giratina, and seeing how they were low-leveled, it wouldn't have worked anyway. I just wanted catch Giratina and move on.

Masterball. BAM. End of story. EV Trained. Now it's my primary competitive uber laying in my boxes gathering dust just because most tournaments don't like it :(

In Pearl, I lowered its HP, then twenty five or so Timer/Dusk Balls later, I caught it. In Platinum, I just threw the Master Ball right off the bat-I always use the Master Ball I so conviently find/recieve for the main legendary. :D
What I find odd is that Cyrus was aghast that I caught it-he's the one who gave me the Master Ball, for pete's sake...

For giratina-o I caught in platinum I only brought 10 ultra balls. I was too lazy to go back and get more ultra balls so I saved in front and lowered it hp. I tried at least 10 times, it struggled and koed itself every time. I eventually did it by switching in Staraptor for the attack lower and the immunity to ghost attacks (shadow force, ominous wind) and I caught it with my 8th ultra ball.
