Master Ball, Ultra Ball, Heal Ball, Great Ball, and Poke Ball. I caught it many-a times, since I kept forgetting to charge my battery, or save. :/

Master Ball was the last attempt, and the Heal Ball was the first.

(Don't feel bad about the Great/Poke Ball, I used up dozens of Ultra Balls, and Dusk Balls, and it aggravated me each time. You should have seen some of the times we fought, and I lost, or it fainted.)

I caught it with a Dusk Ball, I believe. I don't remember how many tries it took me to catch it, but I don't think it took me too long.

On my latest playthrough on Platinum, I've caught all the legendaries with a good ol' PokéBall, so yes, a regular PokéBall is what I used. However, first playthrough on Platinum I used a Quick Ball and an Ultra Ball on Pearl.

That was a Dusk Ball for the first time (but my battery died and I wanted to commit suicide)
Then , unbelievably , I caught him in a PokeBall .
Yes , it went like this :
Abomasnow used Ice Beam !
It's Super Effective
Critical Hit ! (he had one single fricking line , so it was total luck)
Giratina froze ! (now this ... this is LUCK)
Seco threw his last DuskBall !
Giratina broke free (oh sh*t ...)
Seco threw Pokeball !
*catching song* Giratina was caught !

Yeah , I had a good laugh with my bro' afterwards ...

I kept accidentally killing him, so eventually I learned that Dusk Balls have a higher catch rate than Ultra Balls, so I bought a bunch of those and used them. It took a couple tries, but eventually I got it.

At first I was trying to catch it with something other than a Master Ball. However, it started to not work out, so after about two attempts, I went and caught it with one of my few Masterballs, that my friend gave me. (legit or not, it saved me from throwing my already broken DS somewhere. =3= )

I restarted my Platinum. But I caught it with an extra Masterball that I got from my friend. He gave me like 10 xD.
But this time, Im going to try to catch him with a dusk ball, or other than a Masterball.

Same here! But oddly enough managed to get it in an ultra ball in Pearl Version.

I kind of wished I's saved my Masterball in Pearl version for Crescellia and Mesprit, and although I ported more masterballs in from Fire Red, I still managed to catch crescellia and mesprit in ultra balls, by trapping them with mean look! I had dusknoir learn it from the tutor especially and then over-wrote it afterwards.

Giratina was sooo much harder to catch in platinum than he was in pearl tho!

I only had like, 3 dusk balls, so after they ran out, I used about 40 ultra balls until I finally caught it.

Master ball.

I suck at catching legendaries, and I was struggling so much to catch it (failed like, 20 times) that the person I was talking to at the time pitied me and offered me another one. xP (MB)

A Pokeball =D My Staraptor hit it with Fly, Aerial Ace, Aerial Ace and then I chucked a Pokeball. I caught my Mewtwo in LeafGreen using a Pokeball too. I always get lucky with my Pokeballs in the end.

I got really pissed off at it. I already threw like the only Pokeballs in my bag, which was 6 Pokeballs. Yeh I was pretty unprepared, but, I found out that I had a Master Ball in my bag, so I really didn't care if it was gone and I captured Giratina with it. :)

I caught Giratina in my diamond recently. All I had to do was weaken it. I caught it in a dusk ball, first try. Why did I choose a dusk ball? It's kinda obvious, actually. Afterwards, I called it... Li'l Paco, after my Giratina Plushie! :D
