Its possible just use a status changer then use like 30 ultra balls. Ten is not going to cut it.

i always bring about 40 to 50 ultraballs and abotu 25 great balls/pokeballs just for back up but i like to either put them to sleep or paralyze them and then use some pokemon like scissor's false swipe to bring them down to 1 hp and then just start throwing ultra balls at them it might take a few tries or a few restarts but it saves ur masterball for the final legendary and yeah u can catch legendary without masterballs

Quick question for all those pokemon fans out there. All those Legendary pokemon out there... Ho-Oh, Kygouge, Mewtwo, Zapados, etc... have you EVER caught any one of these without having to use a masterball? I've tried OFTEN, but even at my best attempt, Groudon lost all its PP (no jokes please), and just struggled to death. I went through 10 timer balls and 10 ultra balls, and Groudon had as little power as it could have had, especially after it struggled. I've had this simular problem with just about every other legendary pokemon out there, so I'm just wondering has ANYONE ever caught one without masterballing it?

Masterballing? I hope there was no pun there either. I firmly believe it is possible to catch ANY Pokemon with any pokeball other than the Master Ball. After all, the way the game(s) was originally made there were only one or two ways of earning a Master Ball without cheating. Had Game Freaks intended that a certain Pokemon or a certain group of Pokemon couldn't be caught without using the Master Ball, then don't you think that there would be a way to acquire more Master Balls without cheating? The criteria, I believe, for successfully catching a Pokemon are that your lead Pokemon must have one or more attributes that are higher than the Pokemon that you wish to catch, the Pokemon that you wish to catch must be PARALYZED/SLEEP/WEAK or some condition that would render it impossible for the intended Pokemon to escape. The intended Pokemon must have a low evasion factor, etc. It is possible to catch a legendary Pokemon with an Ultra Ball or a Premier Ball, etc. However, the lower you get in quality of pokeball (towards the Poke Ball), the harder, if not difficult it gets to catch a legendary with one. However, do you really want to waste time with maybe going through 999,999 unsuccessful attempts to capture Deoxys with a Poke Ball, just to have a success with the 1,000,000th Poke Ball? If you really have that kind of time to do this, then go ahead and try. Most people prefer the more direct and quicker route.

i agree with that as well. there are instances where i get lucky and catch a legendary with only an ultra ball or even a great ball (well the great ball was mostly by accident lol).

I caught Articuno in Pokemon BLue without the use of a MAster Ball. I used a ultra ball and it was very difficult because my Venasuar, along with most of my pokemons, was struggling and I had to spend money on buyin 50 ultra balls and I have wasted 46 ultra balls just tryin to catch dat pokemon.

I had to catch Mewtwo with Ultra balls because I used my Master ball on Articuno. That was fun. Luckily it only took five or so.

the best GBA games are the sims series and DBZ RPG games and zelda minish cap. any rpg is good as long as it has simple but effective graphics good gameplay.
