I spent ages trying to get to the top of Sky Pillar in Pokemon Ruby. And when I finally did get to the top (after 3 hours) I found out that I only had 4 Ultra balls (my sister spent most of my ultra balls on catching Absol and I used the Master ball on Latis)
So I tried to catch Rayquazaa, but after chipping down its HP with Metagross (Meteor Mash and Metal Claw), I tried chucking balls at it but I ran out of balls so I hit the off button and tried again.
After restarting several time, I gave up and went off to buy more ultra balls. After buying 20 max repels and 20 more ultraballs, it was time to climb sky pillar again.
In contrast to before, I mangaged to climb sky pillar easily, only falling through the cracks 4 times. But alas, Raquazaa was still escvaping capture. So I went off to mess with the computer and my sister had a shot at cathching Rayquazaa. Amazingly, she caught Rayquazaa easily with one Ultra ball. similar thing happened when I was catching Groudon.
Next, I'll probably go gor the three Regis.
I finally caught Rayquazaa!
