I caught it with a Preimer ball. Luuucky. It's like catching Giratina in a Poke-ball...but you only get one of these every game. O.o

I threw it by chance. And I think it fits him well, probably just as well as any Dusk Ball would. Giratina pops out with 6 or 8 red-and-silver orbs floating around him. It's cool. :D

Dusk Ball... It works great when your playing at night... Since giratina was in a cave it was easier to catch night time or not :)

Dark Ball- or the Dusk Ball. Whatever you want to call it

I was lucky, I got it paralyzed and only caught it after a few throws

The lake trio however, is a different story entirely

Btw, did anybody name him Lucifer like me?

Probably an Ultra Ball, Dusk Ball or Timer Ball. I can't remember, since it's been so long.

I never played my Platinum properly, I just played around with it, so...

I battled the thing, listened to the epic music a couple of times, and then used Master Ball XD

Call me stupid if ya want, but that's how I did it...

Okay, I checked it and I caught Giratina with a Dusk Ball.

Same with Dialga and Rotom.

Giratina? Oh god, was that ever annoying. I had the pinnacle of luck that day: I caught it with a Luxury Ball, and I was extremely lucky, because I was just about to K.O. it.

Foolishly, I used my Master Ball to capture Giratina. I know I should have used either the Dusk Ball or an Ultra Ball but I was kind of desperate. Plus, I'd already captured the other legendaries and this was the final one.

You get a free Premier Ball with every 10 Pokeballs you purchase.
(If you buy 10, you get 1, if you buy 99, you still get 1... if you want more than one, you need to buy in increments of 10)

I caught the SHINY Giratina with a Primer Ball, I wanted a shiny one for so long, and I happened to catch it in one throw. (1 HP remaining on it, lol)

I saved in front of Giratina and fought it, if it wasn't shiny, RESET, try again... I resert my sisters DS over 4000 times I think... took me 5 days... lol.
But I NEEDED a Shiny one... I'm going on a shiny run, Shiny Pokemans only. (Except my starter...)

Poké Ball (without AR). No joke. I caught Giratina, Rotom, Azelf and Uxie in Poké Balls (in my Diamond I caught Dialga, Azelf and Uxie in Poké Balls). It seems funny when you can look at other AR newbies using Master Balls on everything they catch and then looking at your own noticing "Pfft. I caught 'em in Poké Balls. Eat that."

Master Ball. Got like 9, so I used one on almost every legend. Easy capture.

I'm pretty sure I caught it in a Dusk Ball. I think it fits Giratina quite well, being part Ghost and appearing out of a dark-colored ball. It was a pretty easy capture, all things considered.
