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

[Momaster99]

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...

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!

 

[Shiva86]

I used dusk balls to catch both. I hate using the Master ball, I prefer to use the good old fashioned method of catching tough Pokemon.

 

[Shining Raichu]

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.

 

[Faolan]

Ultra balls, of course.:P

 

[SalamenceV]

I caught Lugia with an Ultra Ball and with Ho-Oh I used a Poke Ball (first time I ever caught a legendary with a Poke Ball.)

[Flame Mistress]

I'm pretty sure I caught Ho-oh with a Master Ball. I was a noob back then.

 

[Juzey]

Master Ball. I know, I'm lazy.

 

[Lord Varion]

I used a Great Ball for Ho-Oh and a Dive Ball for Lugia.

 

[Brendino]

I caught Ho-oh using an Ultra Ball, but I haven't caught Lugia yet. I plan on using either a Heavy Ball or a Dusk Ball to try and catch it.

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.

 

[Squirrel]

Used heavy balls and dusk balls (on various play thrus)

 

[cazzler]

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.

 

[Sector]

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

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

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.

 

[Zapperz]

i didnt. i killed them both off cause im so lazy! i just get them off gts. i killed them for the data

 

[V. Squirtle]

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.

 

[Halcyon]

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.
