No both in the games and in the show a masterball can catch any Pokemon without fail.

It can fail but it is a 1 out of 65536 chance of failing to catch a Pokémon; this event being 8 times less likely than finding a shiny Pokémon in the wild. Plus it also depends on the catch rate. If there was a Pokemon with a lower catch rate than 3, it could fail.

How would you capture a legendary Pokemon?

Obviously, the easiest way is to use a Master Ball, but you can only get one of those per game. So, the next way would be to stock up on Ultra Balls (like 100, you need a lot) and get its HP down. Then just keep using the Ultra Balls on it. if you want to try to catch the legendary pokemon with a poke'ball, you must lower it's HP to red and give it a status problem (like sleep or paralyze) Warning: If you poison or confused the legendary pokemon and you fail to capture it, it might faint.


What pokeball is best to catch Ho-oh?

theres a cheat kill then save then wait aleast 2 or 3 hours then dnt go on until or u lose it the wen u go bak hes in ya PC your welcomeYou can catch it with any type of Pokeball. I will although recommend the Ultra Ball unless you are willing to use the only Master Ball you can obtain in the game. Since you can save before battling Ho-Oh I wouldn't use the Master Ball, just use Ultra Balls, Great Balls or Poke Balls and if you fail you can always restart the game. There are a ton of Pokemon that you can't save before facing and I would save my Master ball for those.

How can you catch latia''s if you have no master ball?

He is how you do so, I know because I used my master ball on kyoger but still caught latias. First you need, (this also is the exact same for latios) -Latias in your pokedex -a Pokemon with mean look or block (preflebly wobefet) have them holding quick claw -20 NEST balls, and 10 ultra balls - a Pokemon with sweet scent (could use trousous (the frut Pokemon) ) First look in your pokedex to see where she is. (if she is not in your pokedex you have to get lucky by trawling through the hoenn). Once you know where she is travel there ON FOOT, not using fly, and not using a bike. Once you are where you need to be, use sweet scent. There is an 85.7% chance if your in the right area that Latias will attack you. When she does use block or mean look first and it will Not work if the Pokemon is not holdin quick claw.Once it says that Latias cannot escape attack it with wak attacks until it is in red. Because nest balls work best on weak Pokemon, just keep on throwing them first. If you run out throw ulrta balls. As soon as you caught it voila! You have Latias!!

How do you catch pokemon all the time?

I would recommend using a Quick Ball on the first turn, it has a likely chance of catching a Pokemon, but it won't always guarantee it. Master Balls also can catch a Pokemon without fail, but they are meant to be used sparingly and wisely, primarily on a roaming legendary or a difficult Pokemon with a much higher level. Aside from the Master Ball, every Pokeball has a chance of failing, so there's really not much of a way to catch every Pokemon 100%.
