On my platinum, I was extremely lucky and caught it with a pokeball. I had like 999 pokeballs cause I kept buying them. I had a lot of ultra balls to, but I used the poke ball and I caught it. I was shocked!

The Distortion World greatly annoyed and frustrated me until I suddenly realized that it was pretty simple so by the time I got to Garitina I just thought stuff it and used the Master Ball.

I used the Masterball on it in Platinum, by the time I got to him I was so bored of the Distortion World I just wanted out of there as fast as possible.

Caught Giratina with a Dusk Ball, no sleep, no paralyze, no status effects, just damage, nearly killed it too, I got a critical with bite, and I was like NOOO! Then I got saved, so I threw my Dusk Ball and caught it, then I relised that all my money got put to waste, cause of that fail Giratina.

I caught it with a Master Ball because I didn't have any Poke Balls better than standard Poke Balls and I didn't have my False Swiper on the team. :\

First turn Quick Ball.
Out of habit, though it was the first time it actually worked on a Legendary.

Second time it worked was on a Palkia.

I caught it with an Ultra Ball. I tried about 25 balls, and killed it three times. Had to reset, of course.

I haven't caughten it in Pearl and Diamond yet. Haven't been playing Pearl at all lately, anyway. xDD

Platinum: It either kept Struggling or I knock it out with a critical hit; finally caught it in an Ultra Ball.

Diamond: I forgot how the battle went (too long ago), but I caught it in a Timer Ball.

Ultra Ball, it took some time though (but not nearly as bad as the Lake Trio and Heatran x_x). I didn't remember at the time anymore if Dusk Balls worked in Torn World or not, and it wasn't technically night time yet when I fought him so I didn't bother.

Master Ball on Pearl.
Platinum, first go-'round, I used a Timer Ball after about 25 ultra balls and 25 dusk balls.
Second time through, it took me five tries (kept accidentally fainting it, or the other way around), and then finally I got lucky. I had my Empoleon out, used Blizzard twice to get its health in the red, and it got frozen. I used two quick balls (the second one caught it of course) and it was finally mine!

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 (however, I do build competitive movesets and do minimal EV training, just not ignore the Pokemon based on stats ;)).
