Should I just use my master ball on this dude? I've reset like a dozen times trying to catch him with dusk/ultra/timer balls and still haven't got him.
>>
>>728593582
quick ball, dude
>>
>>728595394
>quick ball
4x multiplier (first turn only so full health/no status)

>dusk ball
3.5x multiplier but you can chip off some health and add a status before throwing
>>
Ultra ball FTW

>>728598167

>>728593582
If you ain't catching the demon pokemon in a dusk ball for aesthetics you ain't playing pokemon right.
>>
>>728593582
Wtf is that
>>
>>728593582
Just stall for 50 turns then spam timer balls, though your opponent might be dead from struggling by that point.
>>
>>728593582
why are you resetting? do you have only one dusk ball or something?
>>
>>728600640
The Dusk ball looks terrible with him, even if it's thematically appropriate.
The Ultra or Timer match much better.
But really, why doesn't OP have a hundred Ultra Balls so he can hunt the Shiny?
>>
>>728601487
I don't think he's trying to get a shiny giratina. He's resetting the game because he fails to catch him
>>
What's the point of doing it with resets? Just use cheats and force the capture.

The only way to correctly capture a Pokemon with a Master Ball is if you encounter a Pokemon that likes to run away like Entei.
>>
>>728601747
>>728601690
I ironically use cheat engine in every game now, especially if its for tedious stuff.

like for example some autistic devs have this insane idea about what should be allowed etc so they impose some weird ass grinding restriction or force you to walk back all the way to do something.

its like I remember playing underrail and even seeing in the forums when people asked about fast travel or the ability to stockpile items in some kind of area or increasing inventory capacity, the dev just chimped out, and was like "NOOOOO YOU HAVE TO SPEND 500 HOURS WALKING BACK AND FORTH IN DIFFERENT AREAS REMEMBERING EVERY SINGLE ITEM YOU DROPED ON THE GROUND SINCE I AM NEVER LETTING YOU HAVE EASY STORAGE OF YOUR ITEMS" like the game forces you to store items in random trash cans since your carrying capacity is shit the whole game. and im like fuck that shit and used cheat engine.

its also the same for some games like risk of rain or the binding of isaac games that force you to grind for hours doing weird fetch quests to unlock certain conditions for items and characters etc. its fucking stupid and specifically designed to not respect your time
>>
>>728601910
>a Pokemon that likes to run away like Entei.
or just catch a pokemon with an ability like sand trap so it can't run away?

I bet they saw people making racial slurs with them and decided to scrap the concept from future games
it also could be because of their stupid philosophy of "every pokemon game must be unique" so that's why they don't bring features back in other games, even if they're beloved by the fans

I remember spending a whole hour throwing balls at the Spear Pillar Palkia because I was insanely unlucky. Quick Ball failed turn one, had it asleep and threw tons of ultra balls and nothing caught. Then used my ten timer balls, they didn’t work either. Went back to ultra balls and got it. Then I caught Dialga with the first quick ball.

can't you save before giratina? cyrus was a pain in the clitoris to fight, but actually keeping pokemon anymore is pointless if you can't save them.
>>
>>728611021
Yeah you can also just run away from Giratina and it will respawn after you beat the elite 4 and Cynthia. That's how you set up for rng abuse or shiny hunting too
>>
>>728593582
I only used my master ball on roaming and shinies that I liked, everything that I could save before I did with quick timer dark and a billion ultra balls along with whatever random shit I had left

That is what you've been conditioned to do. I did the whole "kill 500 of them to make a shiny more common" thing on Registeel in Sword version, until I found out that this doesn't actually work on static encounters. Then I found a shiny Registeel anyway

Shiny hunting Drapion in Platinum was one of the worst experiences of my life. Fucking Skorupi is an extra slot mon for the Great Marsh, meaning it's not guaranteed and you might not even know if it's there or not, as some extra slot mons are the same as the regular encounter table mons too. And time traveling to reroll the marsh is a crapshoot, the game may trigger the time travel penalty on you without telling you, so you could be rerolling and genuinely get the same extra slot mons, or you could be locked in to what you have today for 24 hours.

AND on top of that, it's a fucking Safari Zone with wacko mechanics different than the Safari Zones before it. AAAAAAND it's also filled with trainers that walk around, which advance frames, so even if you somehow get a day where Skorupi spawns in, you better hope it's in Area 5 or Area 6 so you can minimize frame advancement to get it.

I got a Skorupi in Area 6 through sheer luck and rerolled to get a shiny and then fucked off forever from that horrible place.
>>
>>728620242
>AAAAAAND it's also filled with trainers that walk around, which advance frames
Ouch, I think I've seen you post about that Skorupi before. The NPCs advancing frames also makes egg RNG a bitch
>>
>>728620242
>Shiny hunting
Whats even the fucking point, I haven't seen a shiny in almost 10 years
Also Drapion isn't really a pokemon I'd want on my team anyway
>>
>>728620461
Yeah, it's probably been me. I did get it, so I'm glad I don't have to do that hell again (unless I want the other marsh shinies (which I don't)).

My favorite shinies to get in gen 4 though are the HGSS roamers. Those are actually fun because of the bullshit you have to do. Suicune, Entei, and Raikou generate on different frames when they're released from the Burned Tower, so you can't guarantee they're all shiny at once. And in that game you can respawn defeated legendaries by beating the Elite Four. Only problem is that the reroll happens the moment you step onto the tile to challenge Lance, and the game saves afterwards, so if you fuck up rerolling is a bitch. Also, you can't call trainers while you're in the Elite Four buildings, so you can't verify your seed or advance frames normally through Professor Elm or Juggler Irwin. You CAN bring two Chatots, but I found the upgraded League to be a super ballache that I couldn't give up any party members for those birdbrains.

So the solution I found to this was a more obscure program called RadioSeed. It uses the Pokegear's radio stations to both confirm the frame and to advance it. With that I got all three roamers shiny, then snagged them. Entei was an absolute bitch because it knew Roar and I wanted to catch it in a Heavy Ball, which I get the Heavy Ball penalty for because Entei doesn't weigh enough.

>>
>>728622820
No man, that's boring. There's basically no work or game even played, you're just skipping to the end. Sure, RNG manipulation shortcuts the process, but you're still playing the game and dealing with its eccentricities, all without any hardware or software actually touching the game itself. And that's the real fun part.

It's like using the Poke Radar. Does it require a learning curve? Yes. Does it shortcut the way to get shinies? Yes. Is it still fun cause you're playing a minigame within the game? You bet.

I see, you've conflated autistic number obsession and collectathon behavior with gameplay. I'm glad your brain rewards you for such useless retarded behavior but please, don't explain yourself to anyone ever again without acknowledging that you have mental issues.

I hate to tell you this anon, but 4chan is for autists. Somehow failed normalfags thought autists made for good company, then rejected them when they didn't like the hyperfixation autism.

My brother caught all his legendaries with a quick ball unless he got caught lacking. Save in front of the legendary, one quick ball, fail? reset. fail? reset. fail? reset. Success? Success.
One time in Ultra Sapphire or some shit he got caught lacking during the storyline he had to battle Rayquaza, in my memory it's the only time he had to play regularly inflicting status and downing HPs, spamming hyper balls.
