Need Help Catching Azleaf

[Ello Govnr]

I've already caught Uxie and Mesprit, but when I paralyze Azleaf and bring it down to 1 HP, I've at least thrown 45 dusk balls at it and had no luck whatsoever. I've also used a total of 30 Ultra Balls, and still had no luck. I've also tried sleeping it and had no luck...what's the way that you've guys caught it, if you had?

Don't bother with ultra balls. They suck compared to dusk balls. Sleep+1 HP+Dusk ball is your best chance for catching it. That's all I can really say.

I brought it down to the red zone, and threw about 15 Ultra Balls (which give x2 chance) before I caught it with no status condition on it. Dusk Ball give a x4 chance of catching, but Azleaf's catch rate is 3%. You just have to be patient and lucky.

Well , honestly, Azelf was the frist one of the legendary trio I caught, so just bring a Strong steel type and use that while trying to capture it.

I caught my Azelf after about 5 dusk balls. I caught it when it was nightime and it was inside a cave, though. =P I had it down to barely ANY health left, and it was paralyzed, so that may have helped it a bit. Like Rockettrainer said, you just have to be patient and lucky. Azelf, in my opinion is the best of the legendary trio, just for it's attack power, so it's all worth it.

Yo, that's the same thing I did and yes, it's powerful, because of its attack, Nasty Plot.

Ah, i prefer time balls and quick balls. Pokeballs ALWAYS seem to work much better also. I caught Mesprit with a quick ball at full health...So i say go with one of those.

timer balls never work fo me. i caught azelf with an ultrar ball on my third try, cuz i used two dusk balls first. gotta change 'em up.

Timer balls have a x4 multiplier after 40 turns. Dusk balls have a x4 multiplier throughout THE ENTIRE BATTLE. Dusk balls>timer balls.

I don't know the catch rate on quick balls, but they're probably pretty high if they can catch a full health legend. IIrc they drop in effectiveness after 5 turns (or it might be a little bit every turn, dunno).

And in these 7 turns you never healed it? A 7HKO, especially with boosts, takes a while. You should've just healed it when it was near fainting lol
