Help with Rayquaza!!

Dear lord I’ve been trying to catch the damn thing in Pokemon HeartGold for way too long! I’ve looked up all kinds of tutorials and videos and what not but it is just not happening and I’m honestly afraid I’m gonna break my start button from soft resetting so much -__-' …. Anyways, my question is this; HOW do I catch it? Or how best to catch it, is there a trick? a better pokeball?

Oh, and heres the catch… I’ve transferred virtually every Pokemon from this game to Pokemon y. all I have left are the following Pokemon and I’m really only trying to catch the damn legends to fill my PKMN Y pokedex so I’d like to spend as little more time on them as possible. So, here are the pkmn I have left (other then the other legends, I have none of them yet).

If the following is what you’re doing already, then unfortunately there’s no easier way to do it. Doing all of the following results in the highest capture rate possible for Rayquaza in Gen 4 (7.095% chance per ball), so you’ll have to keep chucking balls at it. If you aren’t doing this, great! This’ll help you out a bit.

After you’ve got this done, keep throwing balls at it. As stated before, each ball has roughly a 7.1% chance of capturing Rayquaza. According to the calculator below, you have at least 95% chance of capturing it within 41 balls.

The chance is so low because Rayquaza’s base capture rate is 3 in Gen 4 (the lowest capture rate in the game). As of OR/AS, it’s 45, which gives you much better odds.
