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

Caught Mewtwo in Yellow Version on my 76th Pokeball. NOBIGDEAL.JPG
Lugia and Ho-Oh weren't as memorable for me. I just slept Ho-oh and caught him with an ultra ball. first try.
Never caught Lugia. too much islands, whirlpools, bleh

i caught them both with ultra balls.

and u know whats funny? once i was just walking randomly and i got into a fight with a shiny raikou or entei(cant remember which one) and i didn't know it was a legendary, because i never played gold/silver/crystal... and i had a master ball at that point. later i checked serebii and found out it was a legendary.. and it was shiny.. what a loss...
 
I used an Ultra Ball for Lugia and a Master Ball for Ho-oh. Both are shiny and I battled Lugia and was very afraid of fainting it. Thats why, I simply used a Master Ball on Ho-oh( I have three in Soul Silver that I hoarded from other games.)
 
I play the superskarmory game and catch all my legendaries in Poke Balls. So I wasted an hour catching Ho-Oh. But later, when I wanted a Pokemon to use in Ubers, I soft resetted for a right natured Lugia and caught it with a Master Ball.
 
Master. I think at that point in the game I had just gotten lazy and said...well I want ya so we can do this the easy way or the......eh.....lets go with the easy way lol
 
I think I just let them both faint... I've never really bothered with capturing legendaries unless I have to in order to complete the game (*coughReshiramcough*). At least they give off a lot of Experience! :D
 
Each one i kept chucking ultra balls hoping id catch but 50 balls lator i ragequit and caught them both with a pokeball

Hacked of course​

I'd either try my luck with Ultra Balls or simply use my Master Ball. I have a tendency to use the second option more frequently as the mascot above all else feels most suitable for the ultimate capturing device.
 
I find it hard enough to try and catch them with an Ultra Ball, let alone any of the others.
I could just make them faint or use the Master Ball to make it easier for myself, but I always feel like I should catch the legendaries, and the item hoarder in me keeps me from ever using my Master Ball for those "just in case" purposes.
 
lol a Great Ball for Lugia and an Ultra Ball for Ho-oh :P
 
Dusk ball, ftw. And it only took me a couple of turns to capture Lugia. I hope I can say the same for Ho-oh.
 
In my most recent playthrough of HeartGold, I just caught Ho-oh in a Dusk Ball. Funnily enough, I think a Dusk Ball has the same 'strength' of an Ultra Ball when used at night- otherwise it's just a standard PokeBall. So in effect I could just as easily use Ultra Balls for Lugia, but seeing as it's in a dark cave (and Dusk Balls are cheaper anyway), I'm just gonna go with Dusk Balls.
 
It's basically a personal tradition for me to stock up on 99 Ultra Balls whenever I have the spare cash in-game, and so when I have the opportunity to battle a wild legendary Pokemon (or other significant Pokemon) that is when I use them. So basically this time was no different and I caught both birds using Ultra Balls. XD

A trainer always comes prepared. ;P
 
I'm grinding my Togetic to a higher level so I can put Ho-Oh to sleep with it's Yawn. Will probably catch it by late tonight or early AM tomorrow. I caught Lugia with an ultra ball and plan on doing the same with Ho-Oh.
I am thinking of using my master on Mewtwo. I havn't decided yet...
 
I used a Dusk Ball to capture Lugia. Fortunately, it didn't take me as much turns. As for Ho-oh, I plan on using the same.
