FINALLY caught Ho-Oh. Geeze, what a butt. With the amount of money I spent on revives and pokeballs I could have just BRIBED the fucking bird to join me. The strategy that ended up working was hitting it with as many smokescreens as it takes to knock him down to minimum accuracy and having my kadabra take him down to as low as he can before he gets one-shotted, then switch over to a low-level sandslash to use non-effective moves to whittle him down as much as possible before switching over to my poliwhirl who hopefully is able to hypnotize him to sleep before getting killed. Once he's asleep, spend 2-5 turns chucking every ball you've got. Apparently dusk balls weren't that useful, since an ultraball ended up doing the trick just fine.
Still, with a plan like that it took QUITE a few tries to get it to work. The most frustrating was a battle that took so long, ho-oh actually used up the pp for all 4 of his moves and killed himself using struggle.
And, like all legendaries, now that he's caught I'll stuff him in the pc and never use him again because legendaries are goddamn boring to play with.
So now I'm off to throw my broken corpse against the elite four enough times to level up and beat them.
