Which Pokeball Do You Use To Catch Legendaries?

[Smashley]

I just use whatever's in my bag. I have no way of knowing which one will work.

I'll use Ultra Balls for the vast majority of them. I generally use the Master Ball on the game's mascot, since I never feel like battling them. Before anyone asks, I don't have Black/White. IMO, there are too many games and pokemon now.

I used to be a bit of an idiot and use master balls on every legendary. These are the legendaries I have caught in order:
Dialga (Diamond)-Master Ball (Then I realise it has the catch rate of a Chatot. THEN I REALIZE.)
Azelf (Diamond)-Dusk Ball
Zekrom(White)-Master Ball
Giratina(Platinum)-Master Ball
Uxie (Platinum)-Dusk Ball
Azelf(Platinum)-Ultra Ball
Ho-Oh(HeartGold)-Master Ball (I had no other balls left.... )
I forget which Ball I cought Thundurus with.

Yeah some legendaries have higher than normal catch rates, but if you want to have one with the right nature, and good IVs for the right stats, you pretty much need to use that Master Ball. It's a shame that legendaries can't be bred though.

Is it true that ceratain pokemon can make a masterball fail.

From what I've gathered, the Marowak ghost in FireRed/LeafGreen can't be captured at all. Additionally, the ghosts can't be captured, unless you can identify them.

My brother said that Meloetta, Genesect, Keldeo and Victini's catch rate is so low even a masterball may fail.

A catch rate of 3 is very low, but not impossible. The Master Ball ensures that all catches are successful, but again, the things that I've stated earlier are the main exceptions.

Really?

It's catch bonus is 255, while on the other hand, an Ultra Ball has a mere 2.
