4th Gen How did you catch Giratina?

[xxChazxx]

I weakened it to around 10HP, put it to sleep and used about 4 dusk balls. Soon enough, it was all mine.

 

[IcyArceusRider]

Oh yay! I love Giratina it's one of my favorites. ^^

I caught it in an Ultra Ball after battling it down to where it had only a few HP left, then putting it to sleep.

 

[Psittaciformes]

There was no way I could've whittle down a level 47 Giratina's HP with a level 65 Infernape without destroying it, so I was forced to use a Masterball. I also did not bring any Pokemon that could inflict a status condition against Giratina, and seeing how they were low-leveled, it wouldn't have worked anyway. I just wanted catch Giratina and move on.

Got it's health down to about 20, threw a Masterball at it, and caught it just fine. It was surprisingly easy, actually.

actually, if u had to use the master ball, there was no need to weaken it. master ball catches nay pokemon without fail!

 

[Bosch]

i used a Dusk ball as soon as i battled him, and catched him on first try without damage him.

 

[Jordan]

Paralysis + a stock of Duskballs. Standard issue.

 

[Spinor]

Masterball. BAM. End of story. EV Trained. Now it's my primary competitive uber laying in my boxes gathering dust just because most tournaments don't like it :(

 

[Twisted Cuteness]

put it to sleep and poisoned it. then after I wore it down to where it almost fainted, I used a great ball

 

[Trap-Eds]

In Pearl, I lowered its HP, then twenty five or so Timer/Dusk Balls later, I caught it. In Platinum, I just threw the Master Ball right off the bat-I always use the Master Ball I so conviently find/recieve for the main legendary. :D
What I find odd is that Cyrus was aghast that I caught it-he's the one who gave me the Master Ball, for pete's sake...

 

[FunFight]

For giratina-o I caught in platinum I only brought 10 ultra balls. I was too lazy to go back and get more ultra balls so I saved in front and lowered it hp. I tried at least 10 times, it struggled and koed itself every time. I eventually did it by switching in Staraptor for the attack lower and the immunity to ghost attacks (shadow force, ominous wind) and I caught it with my 8th ultra ball.

yup! cyrus is a real fool. he makes great plans but they fail. he could have kept the master ball for himself and catch giratina!

 

[Jad]

master ball =D
quick and fast

 

[HirakuNoShadow]

Tried to catch it with normal Dusk / Ultraballs for the first 15 times (which I only managed to catch 6 out of) since I was breeding - then I got really annnoyed and threw Masterball for about the next 40 soft resets or something instead

If you were wondering why, I wanted a good Natured Giratina with good IVs :D

 

[Magnetic]

I tried for a long time, many resets, and eventually just gave up and earthquaked it. XD

 

[NatureKeeper]

On Diamond? Got Dialga, Used Roar of Time, Dragon Claw and a Duo of Duskballs. On maybe like the 14th try. Before my game was trapped in Mystery Zone...

 

[donkeyman]

Meh I really couldn't be bothered so as soon as the battle began I just chucked that master ball.

 

[D.xCharLx.B]

I used a Master Ball on it since I'm getting sick of trying to get an Adamant on it with good IVs and not trying to waste the Master Ball. .___.

 

[TheSpaceKnight]

I tried to catch him about 10 times but got bored of it so I left the cave and is not looking foward to go back. Infact, I am looking about starting a new game.

 

[Megaman765]

I used a timer ball on him. Lucky for me this giratina had a bold nature :D And on my first try also

 

[Dialga911]

It wasn't hard

I got it low on HP and kept throwing Ultra Balls. Whenever it got ready to use Shadow Force,
I switched out to Staraptor.
