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

[PaxAmericana]

I caught mine around midnight one night with a masterball, cause i was about to go bed and i had to catch it fast.

 

[Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty]

Masterball on Lugia. I had him at 1HP and fast asleep, and ran out of Ultra Balls. I got another one sent up from my LeafGreen for Raikou.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Pokeballs... all my Pokemon are in Pokéballs...

 

[§1]

they were both pretty easy for me, pachirisu paralyzed em, and super fanged em til they were in the red; then used a couple dusk balls

 

[AceOfSpades0707]

Lugia - Dusk Ball
Ho-oh - Ultra Ball

Heavy Ball = Great for catching legendaries. They're mostly pretty heavy.

I still have my Master Ball and the only legendaries from SS I need are Entei and Rayquaza.

 

[solaris knight]

I caught Lugia on my second throw, with a heavy ball. Forget what I caught Ho-oh with, could have been an ultra ball, although I remember throwing a luxury ball at come point during the battle.

 

[mooglehunter]

I caught ho-oh with an ultra ball, but this brings me to mention my favorite legendary catch ever. i swear to god this happend. i caught all 3 of the regis using one pokeball on the 1st turn without soft reseting on the same file

 

[NickofTime]

i caught ho oh and lugia in a nest ball
you know the one that says WORKS BEST ON WEAK POKEMON
thus proving that lugia and ho oh are only useful fried and in my stomach

 

[Jasonpower]

I cought Lugia with a great ball and it was my first pokeball i threw at it:rambo:
I cought Ho-oh with a Dusk ball, it was night when i encountered it:nervous:
It just goes to show, if you keep trying, you'll catch it.:classic:

 

[redsaber5859]

As said earlier, I caught them with great balls, however found letter did this, happened in my HGSS challenge thread

Lol, he really spammed, but he caught 3 lugia, or lubia with master balls

 

[celebi72]

Ultra ball. It was just to easy for me.

 

[Charizard★]

Lugia Quick Ball (1st try)
Ho-Oh Master Ball

 

[Le Creep!]

With Lugia, I was stubborn enough to think that catching Ho-Oh would be a breeze without the Master Ball. So, I caught Lugia with a Master Ball.

Ho-Oh, on the other hand. I would rather not talk about it. FRUSTRATION. IT WAS PARALYZED, HAD A TEENY BIT OF HP LEFT AND I HAD ULTRA BALLS.

Obviously you people know where I'm getting at. -.-

 

[ShinyBill]

Lugia - Dusk Ball
Ho-oh - Timer Ball

 

[Turnabout]

I use dusk balls for like... everything now, but I love them <3

So most of the legends I catch are in dusk balls :B
Ho-oh and Lugia proved to be really nasty catches though..

 

[Natester]

In my HeartGold, I caught Ho-oh in my master ball because it was really late and my team was really underleveled. However in my Soulsilver, I caught Lugia in a great ball! XD XD XD

 

[Chaos Rush]

Dusk Balls. Ever since 4th Gen first came out, I catch all of my legendaries in a Dusk Ball because the animation looks epic when you send it out.

 

[Tanaki]

Ho-oh was always more of a pain, and I only caught him once with an ultraball. Although I've managed to catch lugia on several occasions with a heavy ball, ultra ball, dusk ball, and even friend ball.

 

[Cilerba]

For Lugia, I was really lucky. I had it's health about halfway, and then I threw a Pokéball and caught it.

For Ho-Oh, I used several ultra balls and finally caught it.

 

[Sylveon]

Caught both with master balls.
