Which of the legendaries is it best to use the master ball on? Or, even if i obtained a couple more through trades which legendaries is it harder to catch using ultra balls. (I want some challenges ;)
 
Well, the best to use them are on fleeing Legenday ones. Such as Cresselia, The 3 Beasts, Mesprit, etc.
But of course, you could just train a Golbat or any PKM with Mean Look, so they don't escape, and weak them (With the same pokemon). It might take a while, so I suggest you take a load of Ultra Balls or Time balls. And Dusk Balls if it takes place during
night-time. I have 3 master balls. I have all legendaries (Except Lugia, Ho-Oh, Mew and Manaphy) in Ultra Balls. So, really, it's your choice :p
I expect to use them (Some day) to catch Arceus. Although...it's kinda impossible for me, living in Mexico and all.

For me, the most difficult to catch on Ultra Ball was Regigigas. Used 35....
 
What about darkrai and shaymin? Yeah i was thinking for the fleeing ones as well, the rest I might as well sit it out if I have enough ultra balls....
 
Darkrai is usually given in a Cherish ball. In events, of course. It's supposed to appear and available to catch with a glitch. The same with Shaymin and Aerceus. You go to a PKM event, they pass you a special ticket, and with that you got to a certain island and given the opportunity to catch them.
If you have read the news, Darkrai was downloadable in cinemas in Japan during a movie.
Manaphy was recently given out too. No news about Shaymin and Arceous. They are supposedly "Secret" for the rest of the world. Yeah, right. Tell that to hackers :p

Click to expand...

However, surely if you got the member pass by action replay and then travelled to the island (Newmoon right?) you could catch it in whatever ball you like (I don't see the point of the Cherish Ball it just looks special =P).
 
The Cherish ball is only proof that its legit. And when it comes out, starts shine around him :O
Lol. Dunno, really. I guess you can trap them too in Ultra Balls, just like Mewtwo. Of course, it makes it easier if you use Master Ball. It makes it easier too for those who seek a special nature. If you don't get the one you want, just turn it off and throw the Master Ball again.
Also, if you do it with action replay, the PKM turns to semi-legit, for using a not normal method. But, depends if you want that or not. If you are not sure, just save the game before you "Talk" to the PKM in question.
 
Well I guess semi-legit is the only way I'll be able to get them for now anyways...

So I may as well capture them that way and if an event comes up, get the cherish ball version.

Without the Cherish Ball there's no difference anyway (except the 2 moves the Japanese Event version had)
 
Sure, I don't see why not.
But, to tell you the truth, I battled the Cherish Ball version, and although I beat it, it was VERY powerfull :p
 
Haha now I really want it....

Ah well I'll probably have to wait a year like I did for Latios on Sapphire...
 
At least you'll have to wait. Ill probably never have it, since they have only given out Deoxys once in a Game Expo here in Mexico.....3 years ago! I didn't know...and didn't bring my DS.... ;_;
 
Seriously?? =[

Well my Dioxys is erm..well...lets just say not entirely legit =P

I suppose but knowing my chances, when it is released in the UK itll be nowhere near me or I just wont hear about it...
 
Those kind of news appear on the front page of Bulbapedia, or Pokemon website. Good luck! :p
 
I keep my Master Balls just in case I need them for something that I have a high chance of losing... like, for example, a poisoned/burned shiny wild Pokémon.
 
I used the one in LeafGreen on Suicune, the one from D/P on Mesperit, and a second one from replaying LeafGreen on a semi-legit Arceus. I also have a Rayquaza in a Master Ball, but I didn't capture that one.
