    Dude that's awesome, congrats on the lucky catch! I've become a bit of a legendary hunter on my HG game but I have never caught one at full health with an ultra ball.

    The catch rate of 30 was for Platinum, in Diamond/Pearl, Dialga and Palkia had lower catch rates

    No. It's 30 everywhere.

    Every other legendary catch rate is 3 or 5 but Dialga & Palkia's is 30.

    Not as lucky as some might have thought but still pretty lucky. :D

    It's the same as Chatot.
    So you'd consider catching a Chatot on the first try with an Ultra Ball to be lucky?

    Catching Dialga on the first turn with an Ultra Ball has 7.843% of success.

    So just now I was up atop of Mt Cornet, and after finishing the battle with Cyrus rather easily, I went into battle with Dialga. Here's what freaked me out :S

    I went into battle starting with a Pidgeot level 49, that had 12HP left, and seeing as I was planning to use the master ball, there was no point trying to keep it alive, when I had 5 others. But seeing as I had time to spare, and a few ultra balls left, I decided to throw one, to see what happens. Dialga was at full health, so I was surprised when the ball rolled once while Dialga was inside it. It rolled again, which confused me. It rolled a third time, and I was lost for words. Then it was caught. I didn't know what to say, I was so confused.

    However, I think this may be a glitch. I don't know how it could be, but it's not often you catch something at full health, with an ultra ball, that has a catch rate of 30. Last time I played this I was failing with ultra balls when it was in red health.

    Views and verdicts?

    • I do that with most of my catching (one ultra ball often does the trick) and yeah you got lucky. That once happened to me on Emerald, full health Rayquaza caught first try great ball.

    The chance of catching dialga/palkia at full health in an ultra ball is 2.80% chance,Rather lucky.

    • I think this happened to me in Plat.

    Being at lv. 70 both Dialga and Palkia were going to pulverize me, so I just threw balls at them. I didn't wear down hp, and I think I threw a max of 3 balls combined, and caught them both.

    You're not alone. ^_^

    • Yup, that was luck. I managed to capture Dialga and Palkia like that in Platinum. Well, I did hit them like once, but still.

    You got lucky, but don't be surprised really. Dialga and Palkia are the easiest to catch.

    Yeah it is said that Dialga(in Diamond), Palkia(in Pearl), Giratina(in Platinum) are easier to catch, but had nothing to do with high catching rate. The reason is those trio are programme to be easier to catch. Like Ho-oh and Lugia in Hg/Ss(respectively).

    You are just pretty lucky. A glitch wouldn't cause a catch rate for a single PokeBall or a Pokemon to go up (if it was a glitch every one of your PokeBalls would probably have a 100% catch rate). So stop being lucky! jerk :D
