Well the name says it all, What is going to be or was the craziest way of trying to recruit, capture or befriend a pokemon on any pokemon game? Mine would have to be trying to get a… let me think about this a little bit then ill post what mine was.
Hmm… Getting around… 300 Poke Balls to catch the three Legendary Birds of Kanto in Fire Red? :3
LOL mine would be getting about 200 to catch reshiram in black. I caught it on my first timer ball though. so it was a waste. v.v
I’d say when I was battling Reshiram.
Saved in front of it like I tend to do with legendary pokemon.
Caught it in a heal ball.
Realized it would be healed for N Battle anyways.
Turned game off and on, then wasted like 200 Pokeballs just so it would have a normal ball like everyone else //shot
Then afterwards I was going for Altaria, went “Screw this” and threw an Ultra Ball. //shot
Well, mine was using about 100 ultra balls to try to catch lugia in Heart Gold
All of them failed so the last ball i had was a moon ball V_V which crazily caught lugia
So I was walking in the grass above Pallet Town when I encountered a wild rattata in the TOP PERCENTAGE but I didn’t have any pokeballs yetttttttt. D8
So I delivered Oak’s parcel and got the pokeballs, but I couldn’t find that same rattata again. It took me three hours to find another rattata in the TOP PERCENTILE of rattatas. But boy, was it worth it…
Silly, TOP PERCENTILE Rattata is in JOHTO. /shot
Anyways. Probably…either Chimecho on Emerald or Zorua/Mawile on PMU.
Dat ebil Chimecho…it only appears on the top of that one mountain…It took me like 500 random encounters before one appeared…and I killed it. Then, I had about 700 more encounters before I FINALLY got one. -.-
And Zorua…it has a 500 recruit rate, but it didnt join until after slaughtering it 24 times.
And Mawile…my favorite Pogeymon after the turtles. I went on 69 Mt Barr runs for it. And I FINALLY got it X3
well my least crazy length was when i fought groudon in emerald all i did was throw a nest ball at it and caught it on my first try (nest balls work better on weaker pokemon)
my craziest pokemon i ever had to get was this shiny abra
i randomly found it in HG and by some stroke of luck i had a wobbafett as my first slot i couldnt switch to another pokemon to weaken it because it would just escape and i couldnt weaken it because wobbafett doesnt have any damaging moves only countering and abra didnt have and moves i could counter
so what i ened up doing was wasted all my balls untill i had 5 poke balls left and then got it while i had 2 left
at this point in time i was yelling at the game “GET IN THE POKEBALL YOU STUPID ABRA!”
long story short now i have a pink male alakazam <3
you welcome trev. :3
anywho…prob volcarona on pokemon white. had about 218 ultra balls and timer balls (168 and 50 respectivly.) sent out mah gangsta krook, EQ’d. red hp, threw a ultra ball,poof. caught it. GANGSTA KROOK IN DA HOUZE.
OK so my cousin has like this record for catching all of his pokemon in normal pokeballs so in Pokemon Diamond he’s trying to capture Darkrai and he saves in front of Darkrai.(he does that with every legendary)In his bag he had 500 pokeballs. He had a wobuffet so he kept using counter and he kept throwing pokeballs but Darkrai wouldn’t get in. He had to restart his game like 5 times and then on the 11th he had 5 pokeballs left and he threw one and he caught it.
Long story short,it took about 2,995 pokeballs to get a Darkraii.
It definately had to be getting Larvitar on PMU. Barricade runs ever since the dungeon came out. over 60 larvitars killed and over 100 mt barr runs of hunting.
It was me and a Claydol, I REALLLY WANTED CLAYDOl, but all i had a Master ball. you know it ended XD
capturing rayquaza using a small, weak pokeball (ultra balls do fail us sometimes though xD)
Catching Victini on White with my second Great Ball.
Weeeeell let’s just say that HT won’t have Eggs for a while.
runs around as a Tepig
-Is jelly of your tepig-
Probably either Mewtwo or Ho-oh; both in SS.
Mewtwo, I kept forgetting to save in front of; so, I ended up having to go through Cerulean Cave four times before finally remembering to save - then I caught it right after XP
Then Ho-oh… I don’t even know how many times I tried to catch it. I made the mistake of buying 99 Pokéballs instead of thirty Ultra Balls, when I didn’t need that many Pokéballs to catch it in the first place, since I could only throw about forty or so Pokéballs before it used struggle. I didn’t even need the extra Pokéballs, since I was planning on transferring all my stuff to Black right after I caught it. After about 16 tries, I decided I might as well try and soft reset for a shiny, and then realized that I probably wouldn’t be able to catch a shiny if I did end up finding one. Then, I tried to catch it again, and after a few tries, caught it with my fourth of the five Ultra Balls I had. -.-
Thus, after transferring my Pokémon to Black, I was left with a Rattata, a Hoothoot, and 99 Pokéballs.
…Ho-oh hates me, I guess. That’s okay, because I like Lugia better. (sorry, Ho-oh!)
Getting Cressilia on Diamond. Toke me 100+ times -.-
Oh! I caught Victini in Pokemon White with a poke ball while ultra balls didnt work .-.
Not to be off-topic, but shouldnt this be in Video Games ----> Pokemon?
Since this isnt really PMU game discussion.
