  • What Ball I Used

    I used the standard Ultra Ball to catch them both. However, I kept soft-resetting to get the natures I wanted so I wasn't too picky on which ball they were caught in.

    Ho-Oh was difficult and I took several tries before catching it. I waited until afternoon and caught it after five Ultra Balls and three Dusk Balls (remembering the trick with them, which made things easier). I did the same thing with Snorlax, who was almost as difficult to catch.

    As for Lugia, I still have yet to catch it, but I will get it at some point.

  • I just used a Master Ball. But this is because my friend told me to do so, i thought he was a Pokemon "pro", but no.

    Catching Ho-Oh was suprisingly easy. Only used a couple of Ultraballs and the job was done.

    Im playing SS, so I caught lugia easily with an ultra-ball.

    Had to use a Masterball on Ho-Oh tho. Who needs MBs anyway?

  • I have HG. I just caught Ho oh with Master Ball.

    I caught Lugia with Dusk Ball.


    ( I've caught all my legendaries with Dusk Ball except Mewtwo. And that took 1 Moon Ball at full health. )

    I went all bug catcher style on Ho-oh using a butterfly net! Then I used a fishing rod on Lugia!

    In all seriousness though I used a Masterball on Ho-oh and an ultra ball on lugia.

  • I caught my Ho-oh (HeartGold) with an Ultra Ball... I was hoping I could get it in a Poke Ball, like I did with Kyogre in Sapphire, but I ran out of 'em.

  • The pain!!! DX I caught my Lugia with the master ball... I'm lame, I know! It was my mistake for not save b4 I faced the beast and that time I wasn't very well-prepared didn't have that much ultra balls with me so my master ball was a bye bye. Sad, isn't it? Well at least I caught Ho-oh with a quick ball which was very lucky

  • By pure chance I managed to catch Lugia with the first pokeball I threw at it while it still had just under 1/4 of its hp left. Still to catch Ho Oh after having throw countless balls at it :(

    First time I seen lugia I battled the thing down to sleeping and 1hp left, just couldnt catch it. I then ran out of balls SR'ed and threw a quick ball and caught it first try. I was so pissed but happy.

    omg...Ho-oh was the hardest to catch. I used like a billion ultra balls on him and turned off and on my game so many times and one time i made an accident a made him faint =/.

    then i went after Lugia and had not much problems with him and i used ultra balls.
