mewtwo in blue, with full hp
 
Reshiram, 2 hits from Emboar brought it to 1-10 hp and 1 Ultra Ball sealed the deal!

Tornadus.
Finished the game, saw a storm on route 4, one Quick ball. Done.
(I think the Quick ball suits it! ^_^ )

Giratina, got it in the red and caught it with a Nest Ball, lol...

gone gently
My cousin caught his Dialga in a first-turn Quick Ball. I don't think I've ever been quite that lucky. I've pulled off some nice captures, like a Pokeball Uxie and my so far fave, a Premier Ball Ho-Oh (but GAWD that was expensive), but they're always long and difficult.

Anyway, moving this to Polls due to the abundance of one-liners.
 
I take it this MUST be without a Master Ball, right? I always use my Master Ball on my Box Legendary. It's a tradition. THAT is my easiest Legendary capture.

Otherwise... Suicune from the Legendary beast event.

If we;re really delving into specifics here and it must be captured, I honestly don't know. Apart from BW I've forgotten all my Legendary captures. If we're going by BW, Victini.
Cobalion was really challenging, I actually breathed a Sigh of relief when I caught it. Virizion was much the same as her fellow Musketeer.

SS Lugia. Lowered it's health with my Feralagatr's Ice Fang, and then a Dusk Ball. Caught it.

It's HP was in the yellow. That's a 3.137% chance. :p

Catching Regigas in Diamond. Believe it or not, the following is true - I threw a Pokeball (yes, a plain ol' Pokeball) at it on the first turn of the battle just for lulz. And there was "click, click, click, ding." :O I was totally shocked that it actually worked 0_0 And on top of that, it was an Adamant Regigas :D

Well maybe it wasn't the best capture I ever did but here it is: In SS I battled against Groudon (no SRing for Shiny). It had 1 HP left (False Swipe) and I tried it with Ultra Balls and Great Balls and also all the other ones. I think it almost used Struggle. So the only ball I had left was a Pokeball..yeah I think you all know what happened. I catched it in a Pokeball. :D It has a good nature (not the best) so that was my best capture. My easiest is probably, in Sapphire with Regirock, first turn also in a Pokeball :D

Bibarel's adorable.
Any that I use a Masterball for.

Other then that, Scuicine from SoulSilver.

Also, everytime I capture a legendary, I have a habit of humming the Rayman victory jingle. "YEAH!!!"
 

Tamaku

Catching 'em all.
Kyurem wasn't too hard. :D
Caught him earlier. Not as easy as reshiram and Terrakion.
Still have a masterball! (Getting the second one soon :p)

A Dialga, just last week. Got it into the yellow with Monferno's Close Combat and miraculously, the first Quick Ball worked. :D

Another one would have to be Rayquaza in Emerald. A single paralyzing Thunder from Manectric and an Ultra Ball was all it took.
 

flawlessazn

Spiffy ~ ^^"
It would have to be Raikou from HG.

It was already at orange health and only 1 quick ball did the job.

A Moltres in Pokemon XD, I caught it in one try with a Poke Ball

I can recall two that were overly easy. The most recent was Zekrom. I brought it's HP into the red and threw one ultra ball, caught first attempt. Before that was Giratina in diamond. If I remember correctly, I brought it's HP down into red with my Haunter, laughing the whole time because the legendary couldn't hit him and then tossing a single dusk ball and about fell over when the ball clicked closed. I for one prefer to have to work for my legendaries.
 

jstinftw!

hey trainer
Lugia in my SoulSilver. I knocked its health down to yellow, and chucked a Heavy Ball at it. Caught it on my first try.

Of course, my other Master Ball captures were SO much easier. @___@

Anything caught with a Master Ball, obviously. I also managed to catch Kyogre in one try with a Great Ball in Sapphire.
