I just found this out while playing PC today. If you lower Raikou, Entei, or Suicune's HP into the red, it will take at least 15+ Ultras to go in or it won't go in at all. But if you lower their HP into the mid-yellow, you might catch them on the first try. It took me only 1 for Raikou, 3 for Entei, and 1 for Suicune.

Has anybody else had this happen?

My Rules for My Pogeys:
I reserve the Hidden Power attack to legendary Pogeys only; every one of them must have this move.
If a move has a base power of 60 or more, it's good. 55 is okay.
I only use uberish moves like Hydro Pump if the user's ATK/SP. ATK is less than 105.
I reserve the Fire Blast attack to legendary Pogeys that can learn it.
If you use anything I have above, copy and paste them into your signature.

Um, there is a Capture formula the game uses to determine the success rate of a capture.

C = ((((M x 4) - (H x 2) * R) / M) + S + 1) / 256

C is capture rate, M is opponent's max HP, H is their current HP, R is Rate
of Capture (for most it's 45, legendaries it's 3), and S is Status. (5 for burn, poison, or
paralyze, 10 for frozen or asleep) And multiply your rate of capture by your
ball's power. Pok Ball: 1, Great Ball: 1.5, Ultra Ball: 2, Net Ball (bug/water-type): 3. (Source: Serebii.net)

So Legendaries are literally 15 times harder to capture than ordinary Pokmon. Lowering the opponent's HP makes it easier, but this is the reason why Chansey is so hard to capture: it has so much HP as to make capturing nearly impossible. The number you get will be your chance of capturing the Pokmon...but there is a random factor in it too.

well, I just use the Master ball glitch for Raikou but for the others I just lower their health down and pray that it catches them, it usually does in around 6 to 8 balls.
But I agree with Zangooser and the skate board kid, they suck, they're the worst out of all the legendarys!

False, the Grand Solution is this.

False Ball Swipe

Any time you go to snag a pokemon, with the first move of the round, choose to throw the masterball at the poke. The second move go into the items screen, and change the position of the masterball in your inventory, I think you have to hit x to highlight it to move.

Then exit out of the screen, and do any move or use an item or call your pokemon, whatever.

The masterball will be thrown, the poke will be caught, but you will still have the masterball.

It's too bad you get the masterball so late in the game, it would have made life so much easier to catch all the pokes. But if you missed alot, like me, this is a great trick.

If you don't believe me, test it out, and see, if it doesn't work, don't save your game. But it'll work.

Yeah, that cheat is amazing. The writers made a glitch there, and, as usual, we must take advantage of glitches. ^_^ It will work on any Pokeball. Maybe other items, too?
