How to catch Kyogre and Rayquaza without using a master ball

It is possible to catch these two legendarys without using your master ball on them. Kyogre you will find at level 45, and the way to catch it is to weaken it down to the red level, and either paralyze it, freeze it, or put it to sleep.

(NOTE: do not poison it, for it may faint and your chance of catching this Pokemon is gone). Then, grab an ultra ball (pokeballs, greatballs, and custom made balls such as lure balls will not work) and attempt to catch.

It may not work the first time, but a couple of tries will watch you a Kyogre.

Rayquaza you will find at level 70, and you will need a strong Pokemon to help weaken it. (Good Pokemon include Blaziken, Kyogre, Gardevoir, Claydoll, or a strong Pokemon you can trust with powerfull attacks.)

Like catching Kyogre (Or Groudon if playing Ruby), you must weaken Rayquaza down to the red level if you wish not to use your master ball. Putting it to sleep, paralyzing it, or freezing it makes Rayquaza easier to catch. (NOTE: WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT POISON IT!!)

Try using ultra balls. After about 4 or 5 tries, Rayquaza should be caught and safe in your ultra ball. If this does not work, or you run out of ultra balls, it is recomended that you buy at least 20 ultra balls for the next try.

(NOTE: you must save the game before catching Kyogre or Rayquaza; you might run out of ultra balls and want to start again) And so if you do "stuff up" your fight with Rayquaza or Kyogre/Groudon, you can turn your gameboy off and start again.
