>Catch xerneas in 1 ultraball

For that manner
>Caught 3 pokemon having the ball only wiggle once before being captured
Is that a new thing? Are the catch rates higher in this game or should I just buy a lottery ticket?

Catch rates most likely aren't higher on old mons, but who can say on X/Y legends? And the 1-roll thing is critical capture, a mechanic introduced in the 5th generation.

That said, I caught my xerneas in a net ball (after many failed better balls) and mewtwo in a luxury ball (that bastard took like an hour).

It's called a critical capture, and it isn't new.

Yeah, how it works is that the more Pokemon you have caught, the more of a chance you have of getting a critical capture.

I caught Xerneas in a luxury ball after like two tries. I used my master ball on Mewtwo because it's purple and has an M on it.

I really wanted to use my masterball on mewtwo since it seems to fit him and all, but I wasn't sure if I'd find something harder to catch or not.

maybe I was imagining things but, since we're talking about critical captures, is it possible to break those? I'm pretty sure my volcarona broke the critical capture when I first tried to catch her, only to stay in the next ball I threw.

The more you have caught literally? Or just caught according to the pokedex?

Yeah, they can be broken out of like any other throw. Back in Black 2 I had more things break out than stay in. So far in X it's been better.
