Just so you know, Take Down doesn't do recoil when the move fails.  Such as when it's used against a Ghost type.

Of course, then the problem is catching it before it struggles itself to death, which is not unheard of considering it has the catch rate of a legendary and you only have crappy balls.

I didn't even think about ghost types, but I managed to catch it- and name it accordingly after its mother

Also, for legendary battles, Timer balls are a godsend if you're able to keep it in a state where it just cant attack
