How did you catch your Rayquaza?

A.K.A. myrandomness
well... thanks to pokemon box i had an altereria with false swipe, and my heart beat was racing cuz i knew it had outrage
but luckily altereia is faster and got a pretty good hit. then i had to change to my groudon and did some damage, then altereia again.
1 HP LEFT!
and an ultra ball did it.

By randomly throwing ultra balls on it whilst trying to Rayquaza's Hp in red, in Sapphire and Ruby anyway since I used the masterballs on Groundon and Kyrogre. In emmerald I saved the masterball for Rayquaza but battling it to low hp was still fun.

In Emerald,the first time I went through,I didn't catch it 'til after the E4.I just threw endless timer and Ultra balls at it while it had like 4 hp left. The secong time I threw a Masterball atit so I could wipe the E4 out.I forgot about Wallace,though. I had to use a few Max Revives for that battle.

I think in Emerald I caught it in a Dive ball. I didn't know you could buy Timer Balls in that Mart near the Rustborro-Verdanturf tunnel. 0_0 I got lucky because I switched to my last Pokemon (which was a Spheal) and I just chucked a Dive Ball then Shake...Shake...Shake...Click! I was so happy that day...(I was a n00b then XD)

Weakening with my entire party, paralysis from my Raichu, then Timer Ball. I believe I was underleveled at the time too.;;

I used a masterball because it took me forever to get to the top of the tower. I'm soo bad at bike riding.

Well. i Was On My Way To Capture Raquaza. But I Stumbled Into Latios On the Way. Caught It With The Masterball.

Got To Raquaza. Took Me Nearly 40 Ultra Balls To Claim The Beast
 
I don't exactly remember, but I think I used a lot of Ultra balls and one of my Pokemon used a sleeping ability to make Rayquaza sleep. But I do remember that it took a while to catch it; as well as getting to the top floor.

I sent it to sleep most definitely, but I can't remember the specifics. I definitely used Swellow and Swampert though, and I'm pretty sure I used my Manectric to catch the Pokémon in an Ultra Ball.

I just kept throwing ultra balls at it.
Didn't even narrow down its HP.
.....it worked... :D
 
In Emerald, I realized that I wouldn't be able to beat Wallace with the team I had. So I caught Rayquaza with my Master ball because I was too lazy to do more training.

I'm pretty sure on Sapphire I managed to be patient enough to catch it with Ultra balls.

Don't QQ =p
Emerald-Kept on using Spite on outrage so it doesn't confuse-kill itself.
Used all the balls I had until I finally caught it with a Premier ball xD
Oh how I hate Rayquaza now...

I used the Master Ball to catch Rayquaza. I didn't want to take the time to catch it with other ball types. I really regretted doing it later on while trying to catch Groudon and Kyogre......

I think this game I'm going to SR for a shiny, so I'll be using my masterball.

On Ruby I painstakingly got its health down into the red than just used loads of Ultra balls and Timer balls. Caught it with an Ultra ball. I would have preferred to use a Master ball, but I missed it in the enemy team's base. Never bothered finishing Sapphire and Emerald (due to FireRed) so I only got that one.
