How did you catch your legendary pokemon?

[misplaced_left_sock]

In leaf Green I caught mewtwo with the Master Ball.
Emerald I caught Rayquaza with a masterball.

In XD I caught Articuno, Zapdos(2), And Moltres with ultra balls all during the same battle with Greevil. I had used my masterball previously to snag shadow Lugia.

I caught Giratina in Platinum with a masterball after it broke out of 50+ ultra balls. I also caught Zapdos(My first one) with a masterball I brought in from a replay of leaf green.

In Soul Silver I caught raikou with a masterball I transfered in from leaf green.

I got Jirachi from an event. And i'm planning to use an ultra ball on Kyogre on my sapphire version.

Just today I cauth the 3 legendaries in pokemon leaf green here's what happened.

Moltres:It took me 8 ultraballs to catch it.

Zapdos:Without restocking my ultra balls I still had 8 ultraballs left.Not bad huh?

Articuno:I wasted 30 ultra balls,28 great balls and in the end it was a pokeball that caught it.Not the first one,the 3rd one.
This is me:
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

I just caught Mewtwo on the first try _NO RESETS_ in HG, with the first ball thrown, with no status effects on him, with a great ball! xd I couldn't believe it at first, I'd just been throwing the GB so that I could wait till he killed off my dragonite so I could switch to parasect without risking him getting a free hit, then use spore and false swipe to make sure he is asleep and at 0 HP before starting to throw Ultra Balls, but the one Great Ball I threw at that point, first ball, caught it.

I also caught Zapdos in the same game about half an hour ago, also with no resets. It wasn't the first ball, but I'd gone through all my ultra balls and great balls, and was burning through the remaining balls, and was shocked to catch it in a luxury ball. Goes good with my Ho-Oh in the friend ball I guess. heart
