Status effects and Captures
#1
Legendary Pokemon are a pain in the *** to capture. I just caught a Suicune. False Swiped to one and paralyzed. Took 34 Ultra Balls, 27 Dive Balls, and a Heal Ball...

When I tried poison, it seemed to come closer to capture, but if I didn't manage to do it in only one or two tries, he would faint, hence going with paralysis. 

So from your experience, which status effects are more effective when trying to capture a powerful pokemon? For me, freezing is excellent. I've never seen a pokemon, legendary or otherwise, escape an Ultra Ball while frozen. But of course, freezing is the hardest status to inflict. So what are your thoughts? Burn? Sleep? maybe something abstract like Curse! Let me know what you think!
