Pokemon: Your most epic capture

[Leemaster777]

So, I was playing Pokemon White today, and I think I may have had my most epic capture to date.

I was in the Giant Chasm, ready to capture Kyurem:

Yes, that's a level 75 legendary alien dragon.

I started the battle, had one of my pokemon use Will-O-Wisp to burn him, and it got beaten in one hit.

I sent out my next pokemon, and just for fun, threw a normal Pokeball at him.

Oh, and to top it off? When I got back to the Pokemon Center, I found out that he had given me Pokerus as well (the best STD ever).

Anyone else have an epic capture moment like that?

Mewtwo in the original Yellow version. Brought a random Jigglypuff and put it to sleep (full health) 3 Ultra Balls later and he was mine. Most recently caught a Volcarona with a few net balls.

 

[LeonLethality]

I critical captured a Lillipup, it was awesome.

 

[fishy009er]

I went to battle Dialga in Pokemon Diamond, threw 1 quick ball and, BAM, he was mine

 

[silver wolf009]

I pegged all three birds, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, along with Mewtwo and freaking KENGASKAN!! in one go with regular poke and safari balls. Boo...yeah.

 

[Radoh]

Probably in Pokemon Blue, my first ever legendary catch. Got a Zapdos with my last poke ball. It was pretty sweet considering I had not yet learned to save before fighting legendaries.

 

[Mittens The Kitten]

Kyogre 1-shotted one of my pokemon that was 20 levels higher, and it wasn't even super-effective. I was impressed.

Running around in Pokemon...Silver?(can't remember which one specifically) just in a random patch of tall grass, and all of a sudden.

ENTEI!!

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. Take him down. Good, good... now throw an Ultra Ball. YAY!

Ah yes, the roaming legendaries. I remember them, WAAAY back in Gold, when they were totally new. Imagine MY surprise when I was running around in a random-ass patch of grass, only to stumble upon a Raikou.

Double-takes did insue.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

I actually have a similar story with Kyurem. I caught Kyurem in five turns, with two attacks, two healing items, and a turn of throwing an Ultra Ball. It's not quite as epic, but it made me happy.

The best part was I triggered the event by accident. I was just trying to grind a Vullaby into a Mandibuzz and catch an extra Ditto, I found the spot to start the event, and then went and caught him. BEST. DISTRACTION. EVER.

(Just look at the first couple seconds, I unfortunately couldn't find just a video of that. The rest of the video is a Youtube poop.)

In Pokemon Ruby, I caught Regirock with a pokeball after I think 3 turns. He was in the orange and my friend had bet me lunch that it wouldn't catch. I dont know why I took the bet, but I'm glad I did!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Fucking Net Ball for the new Fire/Bug lvl 70 thing. Always forget that Net Balls are good for Bug, instead of just Water.

But my best?

Quick Ball Zapdos in D/P/P.

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

My bro got Lugia with a pokeball on the first turn back in the day and I did the same on my first shiny which was a hoot-hoot I think so not as epic but still cool

 

[volcanblade]

I was playing around with a loose tooth trying to catch Rayquaza, got really frustrated and pulled at the one point and the tooth came loose so I left my room to wash my mouth and stop the bleeding. I come back to see the screen telling me I caught him.

Same here. (I utterly freaked)

Uhh, best capture... well, all I can think of right now is finally capturing all the three legendary dogs in SoulSilver.
Other than that, I can't really think of anything else.

 

[mirror's edgy]

In my five or so years of probably dozens of files in half a dozen pokemon games, I have stumbled across exactly ONE shiny pokemon. A Venomoth in Gold. And I still have that sparkly blue bastard.

 

[Andothul]

I almost crapped my pants when i caught Mewtwo in the original Red with a regular ultraball

 

[Terminate421]

I threw a quickball and instacatched Volcarona, turns it out also came with a Timid Nature, exactly what I needed

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I got Suicune in Crystal with a Friend ball because I had run out of other things to throw at it. I was ecstatic.
