Then how come multiple Pokémon Trainers have always had an issue catching Pokémon Legendary or otherwise?
There is footage all around of the Poké Ball Catch Rate being completely luck based and random defeating the purpose of different Poké Balls.
If this was Subjective just to this post, how come there are Pokétubers that refuse to go after multiple Legendary Pokémon in Let's Plays?
I've read Bulbagarden's Catch Rate theory, it's not one hundred percent.
- NOTHING is 100%, including your original post. by your logic, if something doesn't happen ALL the time it therefore must NEVER happen.

- do you genuinely not understand legendaries are SUPPOSED to be hard to catch? Do you genuinely think there's some glitch in the game because the legendaries are actually challenging to catch? Ofcourse they're difficult they have an intentionally programmed lower catch rate so that there's some level of challenge to it. What would be the point of catching pokemon (legendary or otherwise) if there's no challenge to it and you can just throw the ball and it always works 100% of the time? Why would there be need for ANY other pokeball other than just the one if they were supposed to work every time? In fact, why bother catching any pokemon at all? Why not just get a brand new game out of the package with every single pokemon all at level 100 and perfectly EV trained?

- I don't think you understand how the mathmatical formula works. EVERY pokeball can potentially catch any pokemon, the POINT of the different kinds of pokeballs is that different pokeballs have higher catch rates than other balls (so a Repeat ball has a 3x easier chance of catching a pokemon that is in your pokedex than a regular pokeball would, for example) you seem to think that pokeballs are meant for different types of pokemon, but that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. All the different kinds of pokeballs do is give a higher catch rate in specific circumstances (so a dive ball works better in the water, but on land it has the same catch rate as a normal pokeball) and where exactly is your evidence that the balls are "completely luck based"? The videos show the ball either working or not working, the formula (outlined in the link) is not disproven in any way because every formula for every ball has a chance of working, how has any video ever proven that it's luck based when every pokeball COULD catch any other pokemon? That's what they're designed to do and there's no pokeball that can't work on a certain pokemon (unless it belongs to another trainer)
- and as for your comment about the poketubers you sound like you've never actually tried catching pokemon yourself and just watch others do it because if you had tried it yourself you would know that you could catch a legendary on your first try or it could literally take 20 minutes (particularly if the legendary knows a healing move) why on EARTH would a LEt's Play poketuber dedicate an entire 20 minute video (or two 10 minute videos, depending on the poketuber) to one single battle? That's just poor entertainment.
I have chucked literally 40 Ultra Balls at a sleeping, 1 HP Kyurem before I caught it, and I have caught a 1HP Sleeping Giratina in a single Ultra Ball. I've caught a Raikou on the first turn in a Quick Ball, I have caught an Entei in 5 tries with a repeat ball, everything can be caught in anything, it's just that different balls have different catch rates, but all are governed by various mathmatical formulas to determine if they will work on the turn they are used in (except for the Master Ball ofcourse) how are you getting that it's luck based exactly? There's all kinds of multipliers that increase the chance of a pokeball working (including simply having caught a lot of pokemon in the pokedex, as the more pokemon you catch, the higher the overall catch rate of all your pokeballs goes up) but that doesn't mean your pokeballs suddenly work all over the place with no effort, there is still a huge chance of them not working, and getting Hp down and inflicting status ailments increases those chances, as well as using better or situational pokeballs.
