Ashamed to say Reshiram. I caught every other legendary using Ultra/Poke Balls!


75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.
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 ;)).

I'm going to go for Landorus, Thundurus or Tornadus. The Roamers are always a complete horror to catch, so one down can't be a bad thing.

I didn't use my masterball, I'm saving it incase I encounter a shiny Pokemon. If I am overleveled, I don't want to risk killing it.

I haven't used my Master Ball yet, and I doubt I ever will. Unless I come across a shiny Pokemon that knows Teleport or Selfdestruct or any other suicide move.

I used it on Tornadus in Black, and Thundurus in White. I always use my Master Ball on a roaming Pokemon, because it is a real pain to catch them otherwise. They're the hardest to catch in the game. Oh, and for all of you who used it on Reshiram or Zekrom, bear in mind: Reshiram and Zekrom have the same catch rate as a Deino.

Why do people waste it on Reshi and Zekrom?

their catch rate is ridiculous

Orange health, tossed an Ultra Ball, caught it
Reshiram: Catch rate is 45 (5.9% with a Pokeball at full health)
same goes for Zekrom

save it for pokemom with catch rates of 5 or under (which are most legendaries)

Caught Tornadus w/ a quick ball (after catching a Golbat w/Mean Look and bringing its health down to red), caught Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Volcarona w/ Ultra Balls and Quick Balls, used the Masetr Ball on Kyurem. However, in Volt White I still have my master ball. Caught Kyurem with an Ultra Ball.

I MIGHT use it on Metang in VW weird as that sounds. Metang have a horrible catch rate and I remember wasting a lot of time and ultra balls trying to get it in normal Black version. I still don't have one actually. I ended up killing it by accident.

I played Black, caught Reshiram with an ultra ball.
I traded my Pokémon to a friend, Reshiram holding the masterball, and restarted Black.
I caught Reshiram with a Pokéball on the first try. My friend traded back my Pokémon. I caught Kyurem with a dusk ball. I have two masterballs and nothing worth capturing with them so far.
I'm playing White. I think I'll try to catch Zekrom with a premier ball. I love those things almost as much as I love timer balls. <3 (•)
