did u find it easy or hard to capture Palkia/Dialga/Giratina

**FrodoBagz** · 20th November 2010, 2:16 AM

Giratina took me about 10 dusk balls while asleep with low health.
Then Dialga i got first try with dusk ball,
and palkia i got first try with a poke ball!

I caught Palkia easily in Pearl with an ultra ball.
Giratina in Platinum, on the other hand, was only hard because I wanted an Adamant one. I had to walk all the way out of the Distorted World and Mt. Coronet to get a Ralts from my PC, and back again. Then I had to catch it multiple times before I got decent IVs.

This is in Platinum:

Dialga - Haven't encountered it yet
Palkia - Haven't encountered it yet
Giratina - Used a Master Ball (I was planning to catch it with my Master Ball right from the start)

Might as well quote this, since this is pretty much what I was going to say anyway.

Pearl Version: Palkia was easy to catch, due to that 30 catch rate it has. It just took one try and two poke balls after I lowered its health to red (which wasn't too hard to do). It broke out of the dusk ball instantly, for it was only around 5:00 PM, and was then caught with a net ball.

Platinum Version: Giratina was HARD. Not only does it have a catch rate of 3, but I only had about 15 ultra balls and less than 5 dusk balls. Took multiple restarts to catch that thing. Weirdly, my Platinum Giratina has the same nature as my Pearl Palkia: Naive.

On pearl palkia was so easy, I caught it at about a third of its health left using a graet ball. Giratina was a pain though

**Purple_BlitzXD** · 9th December 2010, 1:35 AM

I didn't really find it hard to catch dialga/palkia/giratina, used my master ball in all three games lol....perhaps I shouldn't have.... :C

**ExeDivinus** · 10th December 2010, 4:11 AM

Dialga - Lowered HP first, then on the 3rd turn I used the Luxury Ball. Yep, caught it with the Luxury ball
Palkia - Lowered HP first then, on the 3rd turn used Quick Ball. Palkia was caught(music plays)
Giratina - Caught it on the very first turn. Rash Nature with 31 IV's on Sp.Atk. Used Masterball.

**Serebii!** · 10th December 2010, 4:59 AM

Palkia - Yes easy with a masterball

I catched them three with pokéballs in platinum.Giratina was way easier.Needed three pokéballs in the 2nd try(killed him in the first).

For me, Dialga and Palkia were very easy in both D/P and Platinum. Giratina was not, as it has a lower capture rate and it is immune to False Swipe (I was too lazy to bring something with Foresight or a similar move).

**Pokémon Trainer Xande** · 22nd March 2011, 12:46 AM

I used my Garchomp, I think. He was at a lv over 50 and killed him with Dragon Claw

**Aquarelle** · 23rd March 2011, 2:02 AM

I always caught the legendary on the box with a Masterball, so those were always easy.
I found Palkia and Dialga to be surprisingly easy to catch on Platinum. It only took a couple of balls for each, IIRC.

**Invader Zim** · 26th March 2011, 1:51 AM

Easy, i caught them all with Quick ball's.

Laugh. I did this to Uxie. Dialga was simple to catch on Diamond, a few Timer Balls and that was it. On another note, Quiet synch worked!

**DasBoot** · 26th March 2011, 2:24 AM

Palkia and Dialga were easy because of there catch rate being of a Chatot. And I got them within one try with Ultra Balls.
Giratina was harder, it took me 4 resets to get it with a Dusk Ball and 1-12 HP left with Paralysis.

**DarkXWolf12** · 26th March 2011, 6:39 PM

Dialga was pretty easy but catching Giratina was a bit of a challenge for me. I almost ran out of Pokeballs and luckily I didn't use my Master ball.

**LanceTheDragonMaster** · 30th March 2011, 12:25 AM

All three were caught in pokeballs XD

**Hikari Paradise** · 10th April 2011, 11:14 PM

Too easy, especially giratina who I caught with my 2nd dusk ball.

**Painkiller2001** · 11th April 2011, 9:16 PM

I don't remember at the moment, but I think I caught both Dialga/Plakia in ultra balls.

**battle171** · 11th April 2011, 10:01 PM

The Ghost typing Giratina has nearly made me rip my hair out after softsetting for natures and stats... Dialga and Palkia was easy, just because of the lack of a ghost typing... Also they have a catch rate of 45, while Giratina has a catch rate of 3... Yeah...

**webmaster.97** · 8th May 2011, 10:18 AM

i used my master ball on giratina but it took me like 3 ultra balls for palkia and dialga in my platinum

**Toxicated92** · 15th June 2011, 10:04 AM

Quickball = 1 turn catch on Dialga!
He was ridiculously easy!
But then on the other hand, for Giratina it managed to feint 2 of my pokemon, but about 16/17 turns went by used a timer ball....no problem :P

**Hilijix** · 15th June 2011, 7:52 PM

Dialga and Palkia were nothing compared to Giratina!

...I still caught all three in Pokeballs, though.

**Moneyy** · 16th June 2011, 9:55 PM

Palkia and Dialga are supposed to be easy to capture, too bad I used a master ball on Palkia on my first play through. Giratina was hard to catch even after I put it to sleep.
