I have the worst luck in Pokemon games. Using the Teleport/Fly in Cerulean it took me forever to get Mew. I had her down to 1HP and paralyzed but she still refused to be caught. On my third try, after six Pokeballs, I finally got her. I can't imagine ever being able to get a high level Pokemon.
Well, I'll just share my entire story of what went down.
In Crystal I was battling Suicune. So I did what everyone does, lower it's hp down to red and spam every single type of Poke'ball you got.
Well, I was down to my lv.23 Weepinbell and only had 1 Poke'ball left. 1 regular Poke'ball. My Weepinbell was at red and I figured I might as well just turn off my Gameboy and try again. Well...I decided to at least try and use the Poke'ball...so I did...and caught it! lol
A lvl 45 Goldeen/Seaking, I think was the highest level pokemon I caught with a pokeball, since as soon as you can get Great Balls in the games I usually just stop buying them.
first try on rayquaza: a ultraball. then I saw it was my only ultraball. so instead of going back and redoing the damn tower I throw a pokeball, at max hp, and end up getting him. :P
EDIT no one can beat this: lvl 148 MissigNo in the original Red!! 148!!!!
btw missigno can actually come in that level, so believe it.
