Hey J - when do you wanna trade today? I won't be home until 4 and (right niw it's 12:40) and I need to install it at my dads, so....4:30?

Let's see... 4:30 your time would be 2:30 here I think. That should work. How about you jump on MSN once you're ready and I'll try to be on MSN around then too, just to make it easier to coordinate.

Ok - we can do that

Great. See you then. Oh BTW, I have three pokémon I need to trade evolve so if you wouldn't mind I'd like to trade them back and forth.

Okay, how the BLOODY HELL do you catch Azelf? I get it down to like 10 HP and toss an Ultra ball while it's asleep. IT DOESN'T FREAKIN' WORK!!! It's the same deal with a Timer ball 10 turns into the battle!

Can someone PLEASE tell me the secret to catching this thing?

Post by **Celebifly** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 9:17 am

There is no secret. You just have to try over and over. They make it harder to catch ledgendaries this time round.

It's just luck. Took me forever to catch Uxie, and don't get me started on Mesprite....

Strange. It took me 2 Ultra Balls to catch a yellow (almost red) zoned Palkia who was posioned.

It took me only one ultra ball on a red zoned, sleeped Palkia. That's why it's so frustrating!

How I caught my ledgendarys:

Palaki: 1 Quick Ball (HAHAHAHHAH)
Alzelf:10 or so HP, Sleep, 30 turns, timer ball.
Uxie: 1 HP(False Swipe), Sleep, Luxury Ball.
Mespirt:Master ball. Just randomly found it while wondering around.
Shaymin: Non-Wi-Fi Trade
Heatran:False Swipe'd, Sleeping, Ultra Ball.

It's a bit random. I've had legendaries that I caught almost instantly and ones that literally took about 60 balls (while red and asleep or paralyzed). Heck, I've had legendaries KO themselves because they broke out of so many balls that they eventually ran out of PP for all their moves and used Struggle. Also, for the record, Timer Balls kinda suck. No matter how long the battle lasts, Ultra Balls always seem to work better.

I caught Uxie with a Timer Ball. It escaped from ALL 27 OF MY ULTRA BALLS with next to no HP, then I caught it with the first Timer Ball I used. Of course, this was on like my twentieth capture attempt... I had been trying to use my Dialga, and thanks to its Pressure, Uxie ran out of PP really fast and KO'd itself. Not to mention all the times Chrono scored a Critical Hit and knocked the darn thing out... It then occured to me that Zabuza also knew Metal Claw but didn't have the Pressure ability. Needless to say I felt rather stupid.

And I caught both Dialga and Mesprit with a Master Ball. Used the one you get in-game on Dialga, then imported another one from Emerald that I had imported from Ruby because I restarted before using it.

Meh, Timer Balls hardly every work for me. I think I've only ever caught one pokémon with one. Not that I haven't tried, they just keep breaking... I've been having really good luck with Dusk Balls though...
Thanks to importing, I've got several Master Balls in Diamond now. That's cause the only time I ever really use them in on the legendaries that run away as soon as the battle starts (in Diamond that'd be Cressilia and Mespirit).
