How I Caught Miraidon in a Beast Ball

So I found out you technically can get extra Beast Balls, but it's a random reward from the Academy Ace Tournament and the chances are pretty low. Still, might help someone else who wants to do this for some reason

Beast ball really does compliment miraidon

For more general catching, Breloom has Spore (100% Accurate Sleep) and false swipe. Use a pokémon with Soak to sleep grass types and swipe ghost types.

Having a pokemon in your dex increases crit capture chance btw.

I couldn't imagine going for legendaries with only 1 beast ball. Even with the item glitch, it took me multiple attempts because Mira and Kori would struggle KO themselves. Hopefully they have a Beast Ball seller like USUM in the DLC. It's a pain for me personally because the Beast Ball is my favorite ball to catch everything possible in it.

Watched this since I'm planning to do my own hunt, really great info! I knew it was gonna be tough, but I completely blanked on the electric terrain needing to be dealt with, but I still need to catch a Chien-Pao, so it'll be fresh by the time I get to attempting the catch. Lucky me :)

Miraidon on the thumbnail: Just give up all ready there’s no chance of catching me the evil miraidon! Your/arven’s miraidon: NO DONT CATCH IT! You: I all ready did Your/arven’s miraidon: NOOOOOOOO!

This is actually a great idea. Maybe I'll do two speedrun through Scarlet and Violet once Home comes out to try this myself. I still have my Beast Balls from both of my save files.

I managed to catch Miraidon in a beast ball using the same techniques, but i used Urshifu for false swipe and Amoongus for spores to put it to sleep and some backup pokemon that don't die easily to Miraidon along with Max Revives, i forgot which they were, but here's what i did: I turned off auto save so if i accidentally kill Miraidon or if i run out of beast balls i just close and reopen the game, i set my save point in "Zero gate" so i can place the picnic and make the sandwich (i used the same sandwich recipe #69) to increase my chances then walk inside the building to teleport to "Research Station No. 4" you exit the research station and just walk straight where Miraidon is, then the loop began of instant break outs and running out of beast balls, for me it took five resets before i got a crit capture. Trust me when i say this you will eventually get Miraidon in a beast ball if you want to do this, as long as you're patient and willing to go through resets and the pain of instant breakouts, you'll get your crit capture eventually, don't give up.

Congrats on the caught!

I caught mine in a Heavy ball. The animation fits well

Most of all my mons are in beast balls. The animation of the ball when the mon comes out is the best.

Currently doing this with Gouging Fire and then Raging Bolt next, already caught WW in a Beast Ball on the raid.

If i knew this earlier i wouldve tried getting that beast ball for miraidon

I’m currently on this dreaded path. I’m using scizor holding a normal gem it gets miraidon down to 1 in 2 turns and for the terrain I’m using indeedee with psychic surge but you gave me the idea to use eject button to switch it out on Power Gem on it that should make this go a little faster! I almost raised another indeedee lvl 1 and used another ability patch for the same result. Good to know a crit is possible that gives me hope. I feel like I’ve only caught Pokemon in crits this whole game.

I don't mean to brag but I got very lucky on a recent playthrough of Pokemon Scarlet catching Koraidon very easily in a Beast Ball

an X accuracy will boost Hypnosis to 100% accuracy.

nice bro, in pokemon sword i used a beast ball on the regigigas after beating the tera raid

I got both box legends in beast balls. :3 X items, and catching power 3 sandwiches helped me out. Also fun tip, you dont need the bread to get a sandwich full effects.

I planned to catch it in a beast ball too, so i prepared a dragon catching power lv2 sandwich, flew down to Miraidon, weakened it with a fairy move, and caught it first try.
