4th Gen What Ball Did You Use To Catch Lugia/Ho-Oh?

ultra ball on lugia, actually i havent caught entei yet which is getting on my nerves... i saved my master ball for latios
 
First try: used all 35 Ultra Balls, fail.
Second try: used 35 Ultra Balls and a few Dusk Balls, fail.
Third try: used 35 Ultra Balls, Dusk Balls, and a Heavy Ball, fail.
Fourth try: "**** this." Master Ball, caught.
I regretted it after I realized Mewtwo was in the game.
 
I believe I used an Ultra Ball on both of them.
 
I caught Ho-Oh in a Premier Ball. And not just an ordinary Ho-Oh, either...
[PokeCommunity.com] What Ball Did You Use To Catch Lugia/Ho-Oh?

It had 1 PP left when I caught it :P

It took forever to get all those Premier Balls and actually catch it... I'm glad it didn't KO itself!
 
I always carry 50 Ultra Balls with me to such occasions, and every time it seems to be that I manage to catch them when I have just seven left. I think seven is my lucky number in Pokemon lol. So basically I used 43 Ultra Balls on each before they finally decided it wouldn't be so bad to come hang out with me and finally allowed me to catch them.
 
Master Ball. I know, I'm lazy.
 
I used a Great Ball for Ho-Oh and a Dive Ball for Lugia.
 
I snagged Lugia quickly from Master Greevil on Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. It's a 3rd gen game for the Gamecube with already 4th gen Pokemon introduced to it so I guess that counts. I was using only Poke Balls up until the Cipher Key Lair when I caught Arbok in an Ultra Ball. I caught Lugia in a Master Ball and trained him to level 100 although I regret myself because I could've at least trained him better so he could have 415 HP and survive better at Wobbuffet's Counter which is at level 63 on the 81st challenge of Mt. Battle.
 
I coudn't be bothered and never will be to soft reset, but I caight my Ho-oh in a Ultra Ball, I wasn't patient at the time to use a Pokeball, you were lucky though lol.
 
Ho-Oh with an Ultra Ball
Lugia with a Repeat Ball as I traded 2 Lugia's to my game. Took 7 of my Repeat Ball's to work too
 
I believe I caught both with an Ultra Ball in Heart Gold and caught Lugia with a Dusk Ball in Soul Silver if I remember correctly.
 
i didnt. i killed them both off cause im so lazy! i just get them off gts. i killed them for the data
 
I catch all my legendaries with regular pokeballs, like a boss. It took me only 3 to catch lugia, and 6 to catch ho-oh, also like a boss.
 
I caught Lugia with a Master Ball just to proceed on with the game (I didn't know that I could defeat it first so it would re-spawn at somewhere else and the Kimono Girls would have no choice but to let me go). I immediately regretted the decision. :(

For Ho-oh, however, since I had more time to spam it with Pokéballs, I caught it with a Dusk Ball.
