Would you rather have 50 Poke Balls and 2 Great Balls, or 10 Ultra Balls if you had to catch a Mewtwo? And your life depended on it.

Depending on the generation, isn't the Great Ball better than the Ultra Ball? I think that's true in Gen 1 or 2, but I cannot remember which. Either way, if it's anything recent, I doubt either of those will ever catch Mewtwo, but I'll go with the Ultra Balls..

Why would the great ball be better than the ultra ball in gen 1/2? Lol. I think I’ll take 50 pokeballs. And 2 great balls.

Why 2 great balls or 10 ultra balls? Ultraballs are better than great balls

I said 50 poke balls and 2 great or 10 ultra. Because 10 is limited to 52 but better quality

Ultra balls are better for some pokemon, but not always better as it implies.

>needing balls to catch a mewtwo... cringe
1) Just tell it you exposed & destroyed/disbanded team rocket.
2) Explain they are bound to return under a different name or in another form & you'll need its help to do so again.
3)Vow to help it murder all of team rocket ex-members and any other poke gangs you find & will release all your pokemon
4) travel the world stopping gang violence & evil organizations with your living superweapon bff
5)profit

You'd probably be best friends for life & not ever have to throw a ball. Mewtwo is hyper intelligent they would be logical & reasonable given the chance to destroy its nemesis but eventually realize that's not the sole purpose to life.

I was never able to catch a mewtwo with 50 pokeballs because it kills itself before I even throw them all. Anyway, 10 ultras are also not enough.

>:OP:O-Okay...I am clearing up that it has to be on the same attempt...
Okay. Then give me 10 ultra balls.

It is, but only for certain health percents (like 33-45% I think).
>>50502139
>Why would the great ball be better than the ultra ball in gen 1
Because they over engineered the catch formula and it uses logarithms.

It took watching Ash die, Pikachu desperately try to revive his corpse, and witnessing a miracle for it to have a change of heart

You could easily capture him in a pokeball. Because I am autistic, I used Pokeballs on to catch all my pokeballs. I know this because I caught Deoxys the other day and I only used like 10 balls*
*Note: I said balls! hahahahahah that's funny

Third, Great Balls are actually better than Ultra Balls in many cases - specifically, if the Pokémon is at around half of its HP or more, and either there is no status condition in play or the Pokémon has a high intrinsic catch rate. However, if you lower the Pokémon's HP down below one third, Ultra Balls will always be at least as good, and for lower catch rates with a status condition, the Ultra Ball's advantage on the status baseline will outweigh the Great Ball's even at full HP.

Ultra Balls are just twice as effective as regular Poké Balls, so it's like asking if you want 53 tries or 20 tries. Of course the first option is better.
