Usually, I just chuck Master Balls at everything. Half the time I'm looking for a certain nature, so I don't want to spend 15+ minutes each time having to whittle down its HP and whatnot.
But some stories:
» In Platinum, I was stocked with 30something Ultra Balls when I went to go catch Giratina. She busted out of all 30something three times. At the fourth time, I just gave up and chucked the Master Ball at her.
» In HG, I went to battle Ho-Oh with every intention of just using a Master Ball on him (since I kinda wanted a Serious Natured one), but I really really liked Ho-Oh's battle music. So I thought I'd just waste some time battling him so I could listen to the music and once the first loop was over, I'd chuck the Master Ball. Well, by the time I got Ho-Oh down to the red, the first loop still wasn't over, so I decided to waste more time throwing out my stock of Ultra Balls. The bird was just going to bust out of them anyway. First Ultra Ball shook once before Ho-Oh broke out. No surprise. I threw the second ball. Shook once. Twice. Three times. CLICK. I had caught him on the second Ultra Ball of my first try. And the first music loop still wasn't over.
» In HG, I went to go catch Articuno. Similar story to Ho-Oh's, in that I decided to waste some time first. Got him Paralyzed and down in the red, then started chucking Ultra Balls. I wasn't quite paying attention, since I was watching The Fast and Furious as well. But with my very first Ultra Ball on my very first try, I caught Articuno. I was a bit surprised, since I'm so used to legendaries fighting tooth and claw and busting out of most of my Ball stock. :|
I also never once caught the beast trio in Gold or Silver (never once came across Suicune in Gold), but encountered and caught them easily in Crystal. My kid self was certain that they made it easier in Crystal.
