yup! cyrus is a real fool. he makes great plans but they fail. he could have kept the master ball for himself and catch giratina!

Tried to catch it with normal Dusk / Ultraballs for the first 15 times (which I only managed to catch 6 out of) since I was breeding - then I got really annnoyed and threw Masterball for about the next 40 soft resets or something instead

If you were wondering why, I wanted a good Natured Giratina with good IVs :D

I tried for a long time, many resets, and eventually just gave up and earthquaked it. XD

On Diamond? Got Dialga, Used Roar of Time, Dragon Claw and a Duo of Duskballs. On maybe like the 14th try. Before my game was trapped in Mystery Zone...

I used a Master Ball on it since I'm getting sick of trying to get an Adamant on it with good IVs and not trying to waste the Master Ball. .___.

I tried to catch him about 10 times but got bored of it so I left the cave and is not looking foward to go back. Infact, I am looking about starting a new game.

I got it low on HP and kept throwing Ultra Balls. Whenever it got ready to use Shadow Force,
I switched out to Staraptor.

I threw the Master Ball at it, 'cause Cyrus almost kicked my poke's butts, I'm not fighting a lv. 47 Giratina with a lv. 48 Houndoom and lv. 23 Bibarel (what I had left revived after the Cyrus fight) with the catch rate of 3, 3 Poke Balls 2 Great 12 Ultra and 1 Master to catch it with :/ so I chucked the Master Ball at it to catch it, its not like I'm going to use it or anything.

Lowered the HP down to red, put it to sleep, UltraBall'd that sucker and caught it. I think the the main legendary has a high capture rate anyways so I'd rather waste my MasterBall on some annoying running Poké like Mespirit or Cresselia.

I caught it with a normal Pokeball...took me like, maybe more than 100 balls. I don't like waisting my master ball, unless I can get it replaced.

Diamond - Beat him down with Staraptor, most of Gira's from D are completely uneffective, then threw Ultra Balls until I caught him, I actually crapped bricks when I did, funny story, I was looking at the TV when I heard the "You Just Captured A Pokemon" song.

Platinum - I beat him down with the Staraptor I had in this game, wasted 20 or 30 Ultra Balls, then decided to f*ck it and tossed my Master Ball.

Took me 2 Ultra Balls.

Maybe I was lucky, or maybe Giratina got tired of me taking like 2 HP from him every turn. XD

Either way, it worked.

I threw pretty much every ball in the game at Giratina at least five times. It took me 15 resets and much annoyance before I just thought "ah, whatever" and threw my only Master Ball at it, the same ball I was saving for Darkrai (which took me at least 30 resets). Rats.
