4th Gen Is this rare?

[Shiny Umbreon]

not necessarily with palkia, but yeah. in silver i caught ho-oh [lvl 70 in silver] 1st turn with quick ball. otherwise i just put em to sleep and spam ultra balls like crazy...

Except that Quick Balls appeared in Diamond and Pearl, not Silver.

i heard there is a glitch that if you press and hold A at the highest point of the balls throw that it will catch the pkmn with no fail..by any chance that you guys did that?

There is no such thing. Pressing buttons doesn't affect what the ball will do.

meh, i managed to catch dialga with a pokeball, after i'd false swiped it to 1 hp, hynotised it, and lowered all it's stats down to the point were you can't lower them any more.=)

Just for the note, lowering stats doesn't affect the catch rate.

Anyway, this thread has really no point. We've all been lucky sometimes but that's not something you can actually discuss. And, no, Dialga and Palkia are the easiest legends.
