Has anyone had this happen to them yet? For those that may not know, critical capture is a once in a while thing where when trying to capture, the pokeball acts like a master ball and catches the pokemon without fail. I haven't personally had this happen to me, sadly. I wanted to see it in action.

This has happened to me in all the other games but not in Black so far.
Critical Capture wasn't available until Generation V.

To be honest, I haven't done many captures during this game; I've only caught eight Pokémon and six of them are on my team, with the other two being released afterwards because it was only for that challenge with Cheren and Bianca at the beginning.

I've had it multiple times, but I've also had my game for longer (I imported it). There is still a tiny chance the Pokémon can escape though, but the most time it works quite nicely.
It doesn't really look anything special, you just hear a certain metallic sound and the Pokéball wiggles only once after capturing the Pokémon.

Yes, I've had three.
Remember those three repeat balls some guy gives you?
All three critical captures were from using these balls.

Once or twice, but I missed it the first time, but I heard the sound. Basically, it makes a different sound when you thow it, rolls once and it is then caught. I used a Ultra Ball, but I can't actually remember what I caught. XD

So, funnily enough, after making this poll I had 2 crit. captures in a row (poliwag and goldeen). I knew it wasn't going to be too exciting, but it makes me wish it would happen when trying to catch legendaries XD

Since I capture 65 Pokemon and seen 121 pokemon. I gotten the critical capture more than 10 times on my adventure. I also got a shiny pink Deerling that happen to be my first shiny in the game. It also was a critical capture with a ultra ball. (I don't believe in luck...)

It's happened to me a few times in Black, hasn't happened yet in White for me. First time I saw it I thought it was some sort of glitch! haha.

For anyone who doesn't know what happens, when you throw the Pokeball it'll do a different sound. Then it shakes once in mid-air, and just locks. It's pretty cool. :D

I absolutely love that they added this feature in, but to be honest - I don't really think I have had any Critical Captures, well at least I haven't noticed...
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

It happened to me once when I chucked an Ultra Ball at an Emolga. It's a cool feature, at least now I have something to pray for when blowing Ultra/Dusk Balls on a Legendary :)

Come to think of it, this is probably going to be my method of catching Zekrom. No battling for me, I'm just gonna stock up on Revives and balls and keep chucking them while making sure there's someone out to distract him.

I'm not completely sure whether i've gotten one. Yesterday I caught a Deerling and i'm pretty sure it only shook once, so maybe.

It seems like a nice feature though.
