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

[mortisha]

I used my Master Ball on Ho-oh cause I wanted it REAAALLY bad XD
My next goal is to try to catch Mewtwo...without it. :P That will be interesting. I have no idea what i'll use on Lugia though.
I never knew people would reset and reset just to a shiny....thats crazy.

 

[Fire_Floatzel]

I had to catch lugia with a master ball.

ho-oh i wasted my 2 premier balls and 5 ultra balls on it so i had to start throwing 60 pokeballs at it until i caught it on my third pokeball

 

[Agent Clank]

I caught Lugia in a Master Ball like every other Mascot Legendary.
I have yet to catch Ho-Oh...

UPDATE: I just caught Ho-Oh with a Ultra Ball!

 

[TRMASCOT]

I have a huge stock of master balls from trades, so I'm using a masterball on all the legendaries. Besides, what else would you use the master ball for? I just think its best to use them, not like your gonna find a better pokemon than one of the legendaries. xP

 

[The_Lion]

After countless resets, I finally caught Lugia with a quick ball and Ho-oh I caught with a Ultra ball. Don't know why I caught them, I hate legendaries.

 

[Amew]

Caught Lugia in the Master Ball because...I ran out, and it was my last option. Tried Ultra with Low HP AND PRZ. I have horrid luck. I hope my friend will let me have my Mewtwo back that I traded from FireRed. I dunno why.

recently caught Lugia SS in a heavy ball after throwing only 10 dusk balls now it gets to set in my box forever!! muwah ha ha ha !!!

 

[Eon-Rider]

I used a Master Ball for each of them.

 

[Drake(Elite Four)]

I used an ultra ball to catch Ho-Oh on Heart Gold it was so simple

 

[AeonWolf]

every legendary that I own that I have caught myself have been with Dusk Balls...

 

[rndm.]

I used Dusk Balls to catch Ho-Oh. I caught it about ten times, just to get a good nature and IVs. Each time took 20 or more Dusk Balls. (It was at 1 HP and Asleep, of course.)

Didn't catch Lugia yet, but I'm planning to use Heavy Balls. (Dive Balls when I run out.) I believe Lugia falls in the +10 weight category, so Heavy Balls should work well.

 

[Tatsuo-san]

I've captured Lugia by Ultra Ball. I've done one Soft-Reset, because Lugia was burned and just faint by this thing xP
Don't wanna any shinies... i like only shiny Charizard...

 

[brownkidd]

Ultra Ball on the first try and he had at least like 15 HP. Kinda' regret not resetting for a better nature or shiny, but whatevs. Probably gonna' get HeartGold and try my luck again.

 

[Weavile05]

I can't remember what I used on lugia but I'm pretty sure it was an ultra ball and I know I caught ho oh with an ultraball because I just caught it this morning. It actually wasn't all that hard, but it did take quite a bit of struggle. I used my master ball on mewtwo (he's the god of all pokemon or at least was, so I figured it was appropriate, plus he was the hardest to get to.)

 

[tetrix1993]

I use Timer Ball to catch Lugia. Took a lot of pain getting the Timer Ball, because I have to get those balls from the lucky draw at Goldenrod City.

I use Dusk Ball on Ho-Oh. It is the best to catch legendaries with this ball as Timer Ball is out of option. I catch it at night.

 

[yaminokaitou]

Great ball on Ho-oh. Haven't caught Lugia yet. I'm a little less likely to get a great ball to work on Lugia since it's level 70. X_X

 

[redsaber5859]

Great balls were used, on mewtwo and articuno, POKEBALLS

 

[Droidz]

I used an Ultra ball to catch my Lugia. It took me about 15 shots.

 

[chella182]

I used a Dusk Ball to catch my Lugia. Got it in two shots.
Got my Entei with one, too, 'cause I caught it at nighttime.

 

[HugSomebody]

I caught Lugia in one lucky shot with a heavy ball. =D

Ho-Oh wasn't as nice; it took around forty chucks of Pokeballs to finally get him. xD
