6th Gen Catching Legendaries

[JADEN213]

Well i finished the game but havent caught all the pokemon yet. I am currently catching all the obtainable legitmate pokemon you can get in Omega Ruby

is what i currently have. Anyone else catching legendary pokemon lately?

 

[Nusdogg]

Yup, I haven't beat the Elite Four yet, but I'm on my hunt. So far I have Kyogre, Thundurus, Zekrom, Azelf, Lugia, Cobalion, and Terrakion.

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

Of the Legendary Pokemon that can be found in the portals, I have only caught two of them. The two that I have caught are Heatran and Zekrom. Of the ones not found in portals, I have caught Kyogre, Rayquaza, Latias, and Deoxys.

It's been a while since I caught a legendary without a Master Ball. I was pleasantly surprised that I caught Mesprit in 11 turns and used a Dusk Ball. I want to catch a shiny Zekrom/Cresselia at some point without using my Master Ball.

I've been posting these in the ORAS Travel Journal in case anyone wants to know.

Aka. this is practically what I've been doing the past few days. I've noticed the Legendaries are easier to catch in ORAS (I mean I caught 6 of my legendaries in 1x multiplier balls).

I managed to catch almost all of the legendaries (except Cressalia) in my Alpha Sapphire with matching poke ball types:

Kyogre - Great ball
Rayquaza - Nest ball
Deoxys - repeat ball
Regirock - dusk ball
Regice - dive ball
Regsteel - ultra ball
Regigigas - timer ball
Dialga - timer ball
Giratina - timer ball
Uxie - ultra ball
Mespirit - heal ball
Azelf - great ball
Suicine - master ball (originally wanted to catch it using dive ball but ran out)
Raikou - ultra ball
Entei -poke ball
Lugia - dive ball
Heatran - dusk ball (originally wanted to catch it using pokeball but ran out)
Zekrom - luxury ball
Kyurem - dive ball
Cobalion - ultra ball
Terrakion - dusk ball
Virizion - nest ball
Thundurus - luxury ball
Landorus - luxury ball

Rayquaza's catch rate has definitely been increased to Yveltal-like levels. Groudon and Kyogre's catch rates may have also icreased by a little, but I'm not sure. I've seen videos of people catching them at full health, but that's certainly not how it worked out for me. The rest of them seem to be the same, though I did manage to catch Ho-oh with a Repeat Ball of all things.

 

[Frostinite]

Is it just me or do these Legendary battles seem far to easy? and ... lacking.
Sure! there are lots of em! and making a special cut scene for each one would make the post game ridiculous but it just doesn't feel right catching Reshiram/Zekrom or Lugia/Ho-hO with such an Under-dramatic setting?

Am i the only one bothered by this?

You have to start questioning things when you caught a Giratina in 5 Luxury Balls. Or a Ho-Oh in 4 Pokeballs. I swear the legendaries at Kalos took longer than 30 Ultra Balls, so the thought of catching them in less than 5 1x multiplier ball is astounding.

Rayquaza gave me a better fight than them imo. Or maybe I'm just lucky right now? Dunno, haven't caught the musketeers, the pixies, the regis and Cresselia though, so this lucky streak might end soon.

I did find myself questioning if catching Legendary Pokemon has become easier yesterday when it took me two Dive Balls to catch Lugia. Then I realized that it had not become easier when it took me thirty one Ultra Balls to catch Thundurus. I still need to catch the Regis, the Lake trio, the Swords of Justice, Cresselia, and Dialga for the ones I can obtain in Alpha Sapphire.

It took like 10-15 ultra balls to get one of the regis, after what happened i started using timer balls.

 

[arinceo]

Yeah, I have noticed it being easier to catch legendaries, though maybe that's due to the fact that we have so many more to catch on this game. Some people may not want to be spending an hour on each legend this time around. I think XY and ORAS have been designed to make stuff like completing the Pokedex easier to make competitive play and shiny breeding more accessible to players.

 

[Spinosaurus]

So far all legends I caught were in a Poke Ball

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

 

[Kenchiin]

Wait, Deoxys can be caught? Am I late to the party!?

 

[esperance]

I've been catching all the legendaries within at most 20 turns with all ultra balls.
Heck, I managed to catch Deoxys full health with the first ball I threw!

And honestly, I feel like the legendaries aren't as special anymore when I see them popping out of the same generic portals. It takes part of the fun out of hunting for them that you don't get to at least see them before you battle them. It makes the development all feel a bit rushed.

 

[Pendraflare]

Well so far I have the entire musketeer trio and Mesprit. I tried to get Reshiram on Friday but I couldn't get one with the IVs I wanted, so i'll come back to it when I have more free time. Same with Ho-Oh a little while back.

 

[clbgolden]

So far the legendaries I have are (FYI the version I have is Alpha Sapphire) :
Kyogre
All four Regi Golems
Rayquaza
Lugia
Heatran
Latias and Latios
Mesprit
Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion
Zekrom
Raikou, Entei, and Suicune
Thundurus

 

[curiousnathan]

So far I have caught:

Groudon, Latios, Rayquaza, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Palkia, Ho-oh, Heatran, Tornadus and Deoxys.

Lucky for me I have all caught them in Pokeballs except for Deoxys which I deliberately used my master ball on. :)

 

[destinedjagold]

I'm not going to include the legends we get during the game's story (including Delta Episode).

So far, I've caught Mesprit, Tornadus and Ho-oh. Took me a while to catch 'em 'cause I kept soft resetting for better IVs and proper nature (since Synchronize only works 50% of the time, as far as I've heard). Tornadus had sucky IVs 'cause I got bored of catching him. xD

I'm currently in the process of catching Latias. Soft resetted a few times already 'cause I couldn't get better IVs for it (it hurts when I got that Modest one with the IV spred of 31/2/28/1/31/31 and HAD to soft reset;_; )...

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]
