Got to Regieleki in Crown Tundra, slapped him down and started throwing balls. At first, 30-40 balls in, I was like whatever it's a legendary. Then it just kept going. Dozens of balls and I ended up running out of ultra balls, resorting to whatever the fuck I had on hand.
>Regieleki used Struggle!
>Regieleki was defeated!
>reset
>get it in the first turn quick ball
I both love and despise this spastic bastard. It made me appreciate him more, in a weird way.

I had Balltism and tried catching Fezandipiti at 1 HP in Teal Mask.
I wasted 80 of them.

This wasn't bad, just disappointing.
>Never really went shiny hunting, but have yet to find a single random encounter shiny despite playing since GSC
>Suddenly find a shiny Salandit in Violet during the midgame
>Catch that shit immediately
>IT'S MAAAAAALE
>Was gonna name it Ursa to match my other Salazzle named Azula
Now it's just rotting in my box.

Does sneak attacking them even raise the catch chance? Sure doesn't fucking feel like it

for some fucking reason, the heal ball has a 100% catch rate, but with the downside that you have your mon caught in the ugliest fucking ball ever
anyone else had this or just me

I catch UBs in anything except beast balls and use beast balls on regular Pokemon whenever possible. They need more balls with low odds, it's fun.

>mfw I find out that pokemon with levitate just ignore arena trap

I don't think I finally caught that fuck until I later got pokemon ruby and started using it to farm masterballs by just rushing through the game up to the magma hideout with an overleveled pokemon I traded over.

Trying to catch Giratina. The fucker would NOT stay in a ball. Had to reset like 5 times before I simply gave up an used the Master Ball because the fucker actually struggled to death. I was even putting it to fucking sleep!
