How long did it take you to catch a legendary pokemon?

[YugiMotoGoesEmo]

I remember catching Mewtwo and I used like 200 ultra balls just to catch it. :mad: At least he is in my collection now.:bidoof:

[Veena]

If it takes too many attempts, I reset. I like to save money =P


I once chucked a quickball at Rayquaza and got her first time though!

I had the most trouble catching a Skarmory, and nicknamed it Stubborn as a result.

[DARKCHAOS]

It took me about 30 ultra balls to catch ho-oh, and it took me and about 24 ultra balls to catch suicune I caught mewtwo ina master ball

[Illithian]

Giratina-O. I reset like five times, in total probably 200 dusk balls thrown (although I only used 10 on the last try).

[ultamatedragon]

It took me 1 net ball to catch kyogre.(It was my first try.)

[PKMN_trainer]

It took 20 pokeballs to catch both dialga and palkia... guess i was lucky.

[Zekrom91]

One PokeBall to catch Arceus! Without an AR, too!

[Shiny Phoenix]

it took me a week to catch a lv. 40 lugia. but then again I was using a lv. 20 staryu and trying to catch him in a basic pokeball. Finally did but only after the lugia KO'd itself with struggle 50 times.

[jordsters]

I once had a really had a hard time catching a lv 70 Lugia. I used about 5 Poké Balls, 7 Dusk Balls and about 60 Ultra Balls. I needed to reset a lot of times too. Stupid thing kepped KO'ing itself with struggle.

During spring break, i was able to get the Jade Orb to get Rayquaza but for some odd reason I was struggling to capture it for what ever reason (night time chucking dusk balls then timer balls but no give). Then out of no where my friend just needed to throw ONE great ball and rayquaza was caught.

Ooh, that's what you call tough luck.

[r3l3nt1355]

my easiest was on emerald i threw one poke ball at raquaza and caught it, my hardest was zapdos which took 300+ ultra balls and alot of resets

[Galdr]

Longest running is Mewtwo at 1 hour and 13 minutes. Dx I tried every Dusk and Timer Ball at it, and tried a Moon Ball for lulz and it stayed. >_>

I'm also annoyed my Raikou stayed in the first fast ball I chunked at it, but Entei's like "uh-uh-uh! *flee!*"
Rayquaza took one Ultra ball... in HG. In Emerald, I had to struggle with that thing. :/ I despise that 3% catch rate.

[Aracil]

My Easiest - When I threw a regular pokeball and caught Lugia in Crystal (I was like 0_0)

My Hardest - Rayqyaza on Sapphire. It took 85 of my 99 timer balls to get that thing when it was on red and sleeping.

[Administrator]

i used 50 ultra balls i was so darn angry omg i was getting annoyed i was soooooo close to throwing the game out the dang window.

[VanFanel]

I just went to capture Lugia on Soul Silver, he got caught after I took down its HP and put it to sleep, only one Heavy Ball was used. =)
EDIT: again? I reply and suddenly no one wants to post? this can't be a coincidence, someone tell me what did I do to make you stop posting in every other thread I reply!

[ElveGale]

Easiest was Giratina : 2 dusk balls
Hardest was : all other legendary Pokemon :(

[stab244]

Game time or real life? In real life I can spend nearly a day. In game time only a minute. That's because I use Quick Balls for all legendaries and that sometimes takes forever.

Well, if we get all technical I took me 3 days after I got the game, being that the week when I got Soul Silver, Nintendo started handing out the shiny legendaries from johto, so I got a shiny Raikou almost instantly.

If you want to get more technical, I caught Suicune on my second week of playing the game, I used a Masterball(naughty me, I've been using pokégen to get MasterBalls for a LONG time), so it was easy.

I have all the in-game legendaries in my box, plus a shiny rayquaza and some wi-fi event pokémon.

P.s: If you hadn't noticed yet, I'm that kind of guy that actually does catch them all... xD

[Matt the Pokemaniac]

My best friend somehow caught all the
legendary with just one pokeball for each
one. He dosen't own an AR, so he couldn't
have hacked the game.

I personally prefer to use an AR because I like
to glitch my game.

I used an AR to get all the legendaries.
Including event only pokemon.

[Haxorus]

Took me 1 turn to catch Ho-Oh. Having problems with Clair and that bloody aerodactyl. All the others are easy. Had to reset because I ran out of every ball except masterball, so I decided it was not worth it. Save before battle, fail, switch off, switch on, use 1 masterball...there. any Idea how I can get any masterballs? Think I will need them if Ho-Oh was this hard


Any help?
