4th Gen How did you catch Giratina?

[mervyn797]

did u ppl. use master ball or fought till the end and used any other ball?

 

[salmence33]

I used a master ball on my first try, I put it to sleep after it was down to 1 hp and still couldn't catch it

HUH :| That doesnt make sense.

I left the distor world, bought balls and returned + captured with Dusk Ball + Sleep + red health

 

[Anxiety.]

I used ultra balls, lots and lots of ultra balls.

 

[Eruption]

I battled him 5 times with ultra balls and couldn't catch so I just threw a master because I wanted to get on with the game.

a master ball catches any pokemon without fail. how couldnt u?

 

[Mages4ever]

I got like 40 turn freeze hacks with Gyarados, so I just kept throwing Ultra/Dusk balls until I caught it.

Also, salmence33 means that he/she couldn't catch it after getting it to one hit point and making it fall asleep, so he/she gave up and threw his/her Masterball.

 

[Desert Spirit!]

i wud use timer balls>>>there good

 

[Mistyy]

I ended up getting it down to very little health and used many many ultra balls...so many that it ended up killing itself with struggle after it had no pp. I ended up having to go buy dusk balls, did the same deal, caught it in a few tries :D I was happy. Untill I saw it's lax nature

 

[Alexstrasza]

My stupid Infernape burnt it so I was forced to throw my Master Ball.... but I have 1 more because I won the lottery at Jubilife City

 

[Skystrike]

A ultra ball...... My infernape had Shadow Claw! So it was pretty easy!

 

[ReyRey-Pyon]

fought to the end
can't exactly remember what i did
used quite a few ultra and dusk balls on it o3o

 

[D. Lawride]

It was late and my patience was done, so I chucked the Master Ball just as it began. I'm waiting for some five more of them from a friend, so whatever. xD

You have a huge amount of luck to win that :P
I've never won anything.

 

[Empty Pot]

Pokemon Diamond - Master Ball from Leaf Green
Pokemon Platinum - Master Ball from Platinum

It really never fails. I heard there was a glitch if you overuse Master Balls, there are slim chances that it may fail. But that is off topic I guess d:

 

[NarutoActor]

i got it to red parlized it trow 20 pokebals then 20 great bals then 20 ultra bals then i used some timer bals to seal the deal

 

[Terror]

paralyzed it then dusk ball.

Saving my masterball for Arceus.

 

[Nyu~♥!]

I attepmted like crazy, then I ended up getting it from the GTS... XD

 

[EJ]

I paralyzed and threw an ultra ball. It failed so I threw a dusk ball and caught it easily.

 

[Lady Berlitz]

I simply used a Master Ball to catch Giratina. I figured there was no point of using anything else, since I can just trade or migrate a ton of Master Balls from my Pokémon FireRed. ;D Ehm, using a cheat, of course. But it's not considered cheating as much if I cheated on another game and traded it, is it? ;3

I would have have used a bunch of Dusk Balls if I couldn't do that. But I could. 8D
