What was your most insane catch?

Miens was when I tried to catch articuno yesterday. Throwing 46 Ultra balls at it. And ending up capturing it with one greatball :l

I was against Groudon in Pokemon Ruby, I'd killed it last time round so I turned it off and then back on again, when I battled it for the second time I threw 1 GreatBall at it, no health lost and no status problems, and 1,2,3 caught:paranoid:

CATCHING A MEWTWO IN A MASTER BALL I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAPPEN

nevermind.

I did catch Dialga in a luxury ball.. no wait, that doesen't count due to Dialga and Palkia's ridiculous catch rates.. it's like they want to be caught XD

Catching Uxie in a Pokeball after throwing 10 dusk balls is the only one I can remember =)

My most insane catch, and I'm serious is when I caught all 3 Beings of the 3 lakes.
That's right! I caught Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf all in a Pokeball first shot but they were asleep. I was so stunned. I was literally frozen for a couple of moments!

This is a little out of the flow, but I once caught Groudon with my level 15 Swablu.

Admittedly, Swabbz wasn't all that I used. But my numerous attempts at fighting Groudon either wiped me out, or wiped out Groudon, since two of my main party Pokemon were good against it. So I decided to put sneakiness into the procedure.

I sacrificed Mightyena and Swellow toward blinding Groudon. When they fainted, I threw out my Swablu. Groudon tried to KO it in one go, but since its accuracy was so lowered, it missed! I was like "OK SWABBZ YOU BETTER NOT MISS THIS" and commanded she use Sing.

She didn't miss.

Groudon fell asleep, and I quickly switched out Swabbz for Swampert. Swampert lowered Groudon's accuracy, and I threw an Ultra Ball. It worked.

Me: O_O

And this, dear fellows, is how you pwn a level 40 legendary with a level 15 Swablu.

I accidently had an team of 35+ while I was planning on catching girantina. Luckily I had lopunny in my team. (girantina kept on shadow forcing at it which is unaffective against normal types XD) I stil was able to catch it. :>

I don't have many of these myself, besides the increadable Savestate abused capture of Lugia (It never got an attack off, first turn was a Pokeball catch.)

However, I can think of various different LPs where the LPer had something CRAZY happen. For instance, Redchocobo's Screenshot LP of Crystal had the capture of a Weezing in a Lure ball, and Slowflake's videos of Red included a capture of Zapdos in 1 ultra ball (with it asleep and at low health, but it was still a 20% chance or something.)

Catching Azelf in a Premier Ball. Deliberately, for bragging rights.

Ah, I remember the days when myths like Mewtwo can only be caught with a Master Ball and the legendary birds can only be caught with Ultra Balls (or Master Balls) were widespread. So much so, I restarted to catch Mewtwo, because I'd wasted my Master Ball and thought it was senesless to even try without it. So much so that when I caught a Zapdos with a Great Ball, no one would believe me.

Off to catch the legendary birds in Platinum for the first time, planning for my Floatzel to hurt them bit by bit with Aqua Jet before they escape. Wild Encounter with Moltres: "Oops, I forgot I was training my Lv. 23 Roselia. Now it'll just escape." *uses Quick Ball* "HOLY MOLY!" It was caught first encounter, full health. Kinda had a rubbish nature, though. Calm. :P
