    I'm up to Dialga finally! But should I use the Master Ball or try to catch him manualy?

    Poke Balls = 7
    Great Balls = 8
    Ultra Balls = 17
    Master Balls = 1

    These are the Poke Balls I have right now. Should I use the Master?

    Rosilia Lv40 - Use to parylz Dialga. And yes it does survive.
    Bronzong Lv41 - Use to Confuse him and Keep the flow of Poke Balls going.
    Empoleon Lv44 - Use to hit heavy Damage on him and drain health.
    Staraptor Lv 39 - Yes he does do massive damage. He knocked him out in one hit but luckily I saved before battling. ;D

    Got any Ideas? Master Ball or Manualy? Kill him and get him from my friend maybe? But he probably won't trade it. :P

    Help!
     
    he's not but i caught him with it because my only pkmn i had left to fight him with was a bibarrle with about 5hp and i never saved

    I Think...

    I think you should have brought more Ultra balls, Lol I caught mine with a Dusk Ball at 3:16 AM I think it was lol. You shouldn't waste your Master Ball here, but If you use up all of your other balls, then dont kill it. Thats just my 2 cents though.
     
    he really isn't worth the master ball, you might be able to catch him using the other types of pokeballs you have, if not you can always save right before battling it and if those pokeballs don't work, restart it and try again. When i was trying to catch regiice on my sapphire version the 1st time I tried I kept throwing ultra balls at it and it wouldnt get caught! but then i turned off my gameboy and retried and caught it fairly quickly!
     
    keep the master for one of the legends that run away, otherwise they are hard little buggers to catch
     
    Dialga/Palkia aren't worth wasting a Master Ball on. They have a catch rate of 30/100, while the other legends have one of 3/100.

    Heck, I caught Dialga in a single Quick Ball.
     
    use it... I will give you another masterball if you want it...
     
    Yeah, I agree, you should save it for the Runners or for (if ever) the event Pokemon. I caught my Dialga in a Great Ball as well. I caught all my Legendaries, and without the Master Ball.
     
    Nah, save the Master Ball for Mesprit. Dialga/Palkia are very, very easily caught with Ultra or Dusk Balls. I only used one Ultra Ball to catch Palkia after whittling his health to a sliver, no status conditions needed.
     
    I caught Palkia with my first Ultra Ball. I was quite suprised too.

    You have to actually catch the event Pokémon ?
     
    I'll never know.

    I used it on him because I wanted to make the capture of my favourite pokemon (at the time) special.
     
    Caught on Second Ultra Ball :p. Unfortunatly here in Australia with all the little bouncing Kangaroos and what not there aren't any Event Pokemon. Everyone just goes "AWSOME!" over a Groudon on Ruby Version or a LV100. I don't though... I heard you can use Mystery Gift to get the events with WFC though.

    Not always. It depends on the event that you're going to. Some events just hand you the Pokemon straight away, some... force you into a story like the Darkrai one and then you have to catch them. But Darkrai can also be given straight out now...

    Well at least Aus has more Pokemon based things, like tournaments, than NZ ever will...

    Mystery Gift is Local Wireless Events I believe... not 100% certain on that though.
     
    I catch Dialga with yellow/orange HP, and one Ultra Ball... x3

    - Nicku
     
    Dialga is too easy to catch, yellow health and i caught him with a great ball! >.>
    I expected it to be harder. So NO do not use it. keep it for the running legends!
     
    You could easily catch him with an Ultra Ball.

    Does anyone else feel all the legendaries are easier to catch in D/P?

    I mean I caught Cresselia yesterday with 3 quick balls...
