    Used False Swipe until it had 1 HP, and caught it in a Poke Ball for laughs. After making it asleep, of course.

  • I have a somewhat unlimited supply of Master Balls because I play through my GBA games so often. I've used four so far, all on Pokémon I just didn't have the patience to dwindle down to 1 HP and a status condition. Those Pokémon were Mesprit, Cresselia, Heatran, and, just a few minutes ago, Giratina. I tried Dusk Balls at first but I only had 3 with me, so after a couple Ultra Balls I decided it would be easier to just throw the Master Ball.

  • I caught it with a Preimer ball. Luuucky. It's like catching Giratina in a Poke-ball...but you only get one of these every game. O.o

    I threw it by chance. And I think it fits him well, probably just as well as any Dusk Ball would. Giratina pops out with 6 or 8 red-and-silver orbs floating around him. It's cool. :D

  • Dusk Ball... It works great when your playing at night... Since giratina was in a cave it was easier to catch night time or not :)

  • Dark Ball- or the Dusk Ball. Whatever you want to call it

    I was lucky, I got it paralyzed and only caught it after a few throws

    The lake trio however, is a different story entirely

    Btw, did anybody name him Lucifer like me?

  • I never played my Platinum properly, I just played around with it, so...

    I battled the thing, listened to the epic music a couple of times, and then used Master Ball XD

    Call me stupid if ya want, but that's how I did it...

    i was pretty lucky and caught it with my first dusk ball, the same with rotom, the three lake pokemon are a different story although i did get one with a pokeball eventually.

    Foolishly, I used my Master Ball to capture Giratina. I know I should have used either the Dusk Ball or an Ultra Ball but I was kind of desperate. Plus, I'd already captured the other legendaries and this was the final one.
