If you do, beat Team Plasma and go to Dragonspiral Tower. On the 7th floor, you can try capturing the legendary Pokémon again.

You can have a Steel type Pokemon like Metagross when you want to start throwing Pokeballs at it. Zekrom’s attacks won’t do much against a Strong Steel type Pokemon and you’ll get more time to use more Pokeballs.

Question

Can I get both Zekrom and Resharim in the same game?

Community Answer

Only if you trade them over, otherwise you can only get Resharim or Zekrom in one game or the other. You can get Kyrem in both, though. Then in Black or White 2, a superior game in my opinion, you still only get one or the other, but you get the other one (if you got Reshiram in Black you'll get Zekrom in Black 2 and vice versa).

Yes. A Master Ball is able to catch any Pokemon, regardless of its level or whether or not it took damage.
