5th Gen Help with Victini Please!

[timiscute]

So I'm having trouble catching the Victini. I got him down to like 1HP and I throw all the pokeballs I have at him and he keeps breaking out. When I tried to go back to the pokecenter in town to get more great balls or a pokemon who can put him to sleep or something I can't get on the boat to go back to the island. GRRRRRRR am I missing something? PLEASE help. i hope i don't have to start the game from the beginning again just so I don't miss out on Victini

Not too sure. After the event is over I can't go back there myself. But i just caught mine with a great ball. Took 20 Pokeballs and 10 Great Balls myself though.

I caught Victini after the last gym because I wanted some Timer Balls to make the capture easier (It becomes more effective if the battle lasts long time). I also bought 30 or more Ultra Balls, just to make the battle last long enough.

I hope this helps...

My problem is that I'm already in the lighthouse and I saved in there so I believe there's no way of me getting better or more pokeballs without leaving the island and I can't get back on the island if I leave it. Soooooo am I going to have to start the game from the beginning if I want this dude?

I was able to leave the island and go back (But I flew away. Does that matter??).

you will just have to try your best!

I left the island to stock up on Great Balls (which I inevitably ended up barely needing, but that's another story) and sailed back with ease. The sailor says something along the lines of:
"You're just in time! We're just about to sail to Liberty Island."
I can't remember whether he says that first time as well or not though.

Regardless, it's definitely possible. Are you sure you've gone to the right dock? I know I had to check a couple before I found it the second time round.

So I fought him again and I catch him after only 2 Great Balls. Last time I threw like 6 great balls and a million other balls and nothing. Oh well at least I gottem!

I had him paralysed and on 1HP and it took 10 great balls. I got him on my very last ball.

Glad to hear you got him! He's a good little pokemon. Never had a strong fire type before so I've been training him like WHOA!

For those who are having trouble catching Victini, here's what I used to catch it. First have a Pokemon that can faint Victini in one move. Just keep beating it with that move(once Victini is defeated, you can leave the room, then come back and it will return), until it uses endure. Then have a pokemon like Patrat to use Hypnosis or Yawn on it, then it's an easy catch. I was training my Pokemon by beating it over and over again, so when I wanted to catch it, I just got bored and caught it with my first Ultra Ball. XD

I caught Victini as soon as I got to Castelia City in a Great Ball. I had to restart that battle like 5 times because I kept running out. Victini has the same catch rate of 3 as Pokemon like Rayquaza, Regigigas, Metagross, and so on. So it's very hard to catch, even at a low level.

 

[Pretz]

Its on the last dock and take a pokemon with false swipe and spore/sleep powder toss quick balls untill you have taken 15 turns then throw timerballs, I belive it has the same catch rate as a legendary.
