Nien! this is a lie you are a liar timer balls are horrible and make we want to punch babies... I battled with rayqauza till it ran out of pp in every move and i use a timer ball every turn and i couldn't catch it even when it struggle down to almost no hp and paralazed from outrage...

youre just not patient enough(i caught rayquaza with one ultra ball & inflicted him with a burn...)

Well just keep on trying. i know that regeice has a catch rate of 3. just use timer balls ultra balls or your master ball if you still have it. go to Serebii.net to find catch rates of pokemon. i hope this helps.

I'd also suggest Paralysis instead of Sleep since the Sleep condition heals over time while Paralysis is permanent with a wild Pokemon unless it has Refresh / Heal Bell / Aromatherapy, which Regice clearly doesn't.

Isn't Sleep better? I've heard it gives you a much greater chance of catching the Pokemon than the other Status ailments. It might not be permanent, but its more or less better, although the only Legendaries I've caught using Sleep are the runners. The rest I used Paralysis, since I had a Roserade.. and I wasn't willing to train that Gengar up.. *cough*

Sleep does give you a higher chance, but, yeah, not permanent, so I usually use Paralysis just because it lasts the whole battle. >_>

Just be patient, I had many "fun" "adventures" catching the Regis too. >_>
