Back in the older games he'd dodge almost every single Pokeball other than the Master Ball if he wasn't asleep. Thankfully, they got rid of the "Pokeballs can miss" BS.

OT: Hmm tough one, I'd save it for Requeza because I like the name more but I think is a higher level and harder to catch
Well, I guess it depends on the game.

I caught MewTwo in HeartGold without spending more than 10 Ultraballs. Easy-peasy.

Save it! The master ball is really good. The only time I use it on the first legendary is in Emerald, because Rayquaza is level 70 then. And you can rape the elite four with him.

I remember the first time I ever played Pokemon Red I was 7 and used the Masterball on a Raticate...which I then never used.

Backstory: im at Lugia right now on heart gold, and i got a master ball left, should i use it or not?

I want to try to save it for Requeza, but i dont know if i should or not.

EDIT: thanks for you help everyone, i got him with a dusk ball with Swampert on the field, but to change the topic, when did you use your masteball and why?
Rayquaza isn't in SS or HG and never, ever, ever, ever, ever use a master ball on lugia, thats just stupid.

Save the game, try it, if it doesn't work, then load, and try again.
I spent hours doing this trying to catch the legendary birds in Yellow. It's frustrating, but you always get there eventually.

Yeah it is, you just have to get both Groudon and Kyogre first.

And no, don't use the Masterball on Lugia, save it for one of the wandering pokemon, like Raikou, Entei, Latios or Latias.
Mainly because you can save before you face Lugia, and just try over and over again, however with the wandering pokemon, you can never really anticipate when you'll come across them.

Once upon a time I cheated and got infinite masterballs. Since then I saw the error of my ways and never used a master ball in any game - they're still lying about to capture the all elusive Celebi (does it actually apear in silver/gold if you capture all the other pokemon?). Yeah I managed to capture all the legendary pokemon with ultra balls in gold, silver and sapphire :S don't even know how. The dogs are the most annoying though - at least Lugia stays put the first time and you have as many cracks at it as you want.

Use dusk balls. It's what they're for, and they are cheaper than ultra.

This is what I do, it's so fucking annoying because it carries from game to game. I never use the Master Ball because I like knowing no matter what Pokemon is thrown at me, I can always, always catch it with a Master Ball, but I'll never use it still. It's better to have a Master Ball and not need it, than to need a Master Ball and not have it.

Clichés aside I catch every Legendary pokemon with regular Poke Balls. Although, I never catch every Legendary pokemon, just every Legendary pokemon I come across.

I still have a Master ball from emerald that I transferred over to my platinum save, and then over to my soul silver game. One day it may be used.

A little off topic, but I traded for a Spiritomb over Wifi and it came in a master ball. I'm not really sure if it was hacked or not, but if it is can a hacked Pokemon that was traded cause the game it was traded to to crash? Is it possible to trade hacked Pokemon?
Edit: I use my master balls for Lati@s in Emerald. This is due to the difficulty of finding wandering Pokemon in Gen 3.

Even if it is a totally messed up one, no it won't crash your game. "Hacked" pokemon can be legit and run in the game fine, and if they are illegal, the most they can do is prevent you from using them in wifi battles. The easiest way is to just go and pick up the Pokemon battle revolution game for the wii, and upload your team to the game, ones that are illegal for use will show up as a bad egg.

-Pokemon Name, Gender & Level
-PokeBall Used
-OT Name & Color
-ID No.
-Moves Learned
-Any Ribbons
-Sheen (from poffins)
-Where it was met
-What land it came from
-What level it was met at
-IVs
-Nature
-Specify whether it is shiny or not

Give us as much of that as you can and either myself or someone else ought be able to tell you.


OT: You've already caught it so it doesn't really matter but if you've a copy of Fire Red or Leaf Green and a DS or DS lite then you can always use the pal park to transfer one over from there with the pal park. On a speed run it only takes about an hour and a half to get to get one.

I am pretty sure that it is Lucy/Nyu from Elfen Lied.
You would be correct, and congratz op on catching Lugia, 3 legendary dogs now! I'm pulling my hair out trying to get those guys haha
They were always HUGE pains to get. Especially since I never had the patience to catch them. Though personally I fell in love with Raikou (he's freaking awesome okay?)

And my very first masterball? I think I used it on one of the legendary birds. Moltern maybe. However in my defense I got Zapdos, Articuno and MewTwo with Ultraballs so I didn't "waste it."
