Can You Catch SHINY RAYQUAZA in a LUXURY BALL?

  • Want to see my full analysis of the Luxury Ball and how you can go about capturing this elusive Shiny Rayquaza? Head on over to the main channel ‪@TheGameCubicle‬.
    The Luxury Ball was extremely rare in the third generation of Pokémon. It would take you an absurd amount of time to get yourself enough Luxury Balls to have any chance of capturing a legendary Pokémon in one.
    This is unfortunate since shiny Rayquaza is perfectly color coordinated with the Luxury Ball. Are you up to the challenge?

    There is a Japanese UA-camr called Suzuki Kenzo who actually caught it using the luxury ball. He played 10 (or 16) copies of the game simultaneously, failed two times due to Rayquaza’s PP depletion, and used more than 100 balls to catch it. He eventually managed to balance the recoil of struggle and healing effect by Soothe Bell to ensure that Rayquaza don’t feint.

    Just use the clone glitch with the one you found on the floor. Then proceed with sub, spore, bulk up, false swipe breloom. Sleep on first turn, sub second, bulk up third, at high enough level you'll leave Ray at one, sleep when it goes for outrage to avoid confusion but mostly at low health it will go for rest because of idiotic AI. Rinse and repeat until caught and there you go fellas. Unlimited Luxury Balls and a nice shiny Ray inside of one :)

  • @hellohi2516
    @hellohi2516 17 днів тому

    I have an idea of a team to make the fight slightly easier and the odds slightly better, but I’m not really sure if it would work.
    Step 1) Have an Insomnia Pokemon use Skill Swap to prevent resting. Hypno would work for this.
    Step 2) Paralyze the Rayquaza. Thunder Wave would be easiest for this, which most Electric types can learn.
    Step 3) Switch into a Shedinja with False Swipes and Protect (to block when Rayquaza uses fly, which is the only move that can affect Shedinja).
    Step 4) Get the Rayquaza to 1 HP and start throwing balls.
    There’s a trade off between being able to lower Rayquaza’s health and having to use paralysis instead of sleep. Paralysis only provides half the benefit of sleep, but lowered HP can provide up to 3x the catch rate, so theoretically, this method’s catch rate is 1.5x better at best. It is also better because the yawn method would have one turn without sleep applied after each yawn, whereas paralysis would never go away.
    The only issue is that I’m not sure how Outrage would act when the Pokemon is immune in gen 3. Since Fairy type doesn’t exist yet, it isn’t a common scenario. It’s possible that Rayquaza would still get confused, which would make this strategy fairly useless. Shedinja may still be a good pick, but without a way to prevent the confusion/self damage, it’s not really better than the snorlaxes. Regardless, Rayquaza would still be a ticking time bomb, since it will start struggling after it runs out of PP, though paralysis would help stall that a bit longer.
    If it were a newer generation, there are other tools that could help, such as skill swapping Rayquaza the harvest ability and tricking Rayquaza a leppa berry to prevent running out of PP. You could also use a persim berry to prevent confusion and some other method (such as heal block, imprison, or taunt) to prevent healing via rest, though since luxury balls are much easier to obtain in later generations, making the fight last longer is probably more important than increasing catch rate.

    I have a shiny rayquaza in a luxury ball. I used RNG manipulation for it. I had to try a couple of times.
    For people who don't know, you cannot encounter a shiny pokemon by soft resetting in Emerald. The battery thinks it's always empty so the RNG is always the same everytime you boot it. You have to either run away and encounter it over and over OR RNG manipulate.
    I chose the latter and I am making him a ribbon master alongside a shiny Giratina in a luxury ball, shiny kirlia (also in a luxury ball) and a shiny shaymin in a nest ball.
    In my experience, I caught the ralts first and then used sleep talk and rest to grind contest to pretty decent success. It was time consuming though.

    Level 100 smeargle with spore, trick, false swipe and swords dance/flash + leftovers. Get 12 X speeds + 12 X defenses and 12 X attacks if you got flash instead of swords dance. You’re also gonna need like 30 leppa berries lol.
    Put Rayquaza to sleep on the first turn then spam X items (speeds -> defense -> attack) and keep putting Rayquaza back to sleep when it wakes up. Once you reach max stat buffs, spam flash until Rayquaza is -6 accuracy. Use false swipe to get him to 1hp and spam balls until you catch him or has 1 pp left. Use trick to give him the leftovers and keep throwing balls until you hopefully catch it. I’d recommend around 250 just to be safe.

    Yes, first, get either a Scyther, Sceptile or Zangoose. All 3 Pokemon learn False Swipe naturally and are exceptionally fast. Getting Snorlax to use Yawn is a fantastic idea, but Body Slam also has a decent chance of causing paralysis. The most important thing is to get a status effect that won’t cause damage. Actually, this is where Electrode or Jolteon would work as well, exceedingly fast and can learn a paralyzing move.

      I cloned the luxury balls in emerald to get like 400 and then I'm pretty sure I paralyzed my shiny rayquaza, debuffed its attack, and used an iron defenced registeel to make damage dealt by its inevitable struggle down to 1, then just kept lobbing luxury balls until it stuck.

    For those who are unaware, there is an NPC by the name of "Selhpy" I believe it is who is unlocked in the FireRed/LeafGreen post game. She will ask to see a certain pokemon and when shown the requested Pokemon she will give you a luxury ball (the pokemon requested are derived from the Pokemon registered as "Seen" and if you don't have her requested Pokemon you can walk around to reset her request)

    @jedstanaland2897 19 днів тому

    The only thing that I could think of that might be more effective would be to have a few bug Pokemon with sleep Spore, stun Spore, and other similar moves/ abilities. Yawn is dangerous in many cases because the longer the fight goes on especially when they have more than one turn to use moves the more likely it is to either KO itself through confusion or run out of PP. Either way Yawn also does not have the same length of sleep time as other moves. These were things unique to Ruby/Sapphire/emerald. Though not not completely unique to all series.

    In generation 4 I caught a heatran with luxury balls by using a smeargle with spore, recover, and trick which held a leppa berry. I weakened the heatran into the red and lowered its attack and special attack with a random crobat. I eventually caught it after over 100 balls used. Looking back I could have also used heal pulse with smeargle but oh well

    I don't think I'm remembering this right, but there was another way of getting a Luxury ball in RSE. You would go to a shop in one town in the game, buy 10x regular poke balls, and the shop clerk would give you a Luxury ball for free.
    That's what I did and I had like 40x Luxury balls in my Pokemon Ruby game. I can't remember which shop and which town it was in the game though.

    Intersting Story: I somehow caught a Zacian in a Luxury Ball first try. I went on to do my rounds with Quick Ball grinding out Zacian just to say I caught him in one turn, but during one of my attempts I accidentally threw a Luxury Ball (because they're both close to each other in the menus), and miraculously it actually hit, so in addition to saying I caught him in one turn, I can also say I caught him with the stupidest odds imaginable, because to my knowledge, Gen 8 Luxury Balls are slightly worse than regular Pokeballs, making them the lowest on-average odds of ever catching Pokemon in them, let-alone Legendaries.
    I should pick up Sword and Shield again sometime, that Game was fun 😊
