    I found it rather simple. Though I used a Master Ball on Dialga, I used a Dusk Ball on a red hp poisoned Palkia. Caught it first try.

    Easy on my end as well. Got Dialga down to the red and it only took one Dusk Ball.
    I had bought about 50 of them too. xD

    I haven't caught either of them yet in my Platinum version but I did find Dialga very easy to catch in Diamond. It only took me 1 Dusk Ball to catch it at night after I got its health to red.

    Yeah, they were easy. Only took like maybe around 5 minutes for each of them, but that's including weakening them down and catching them.

    Same for me.-Dialga was 2 Dusk,-Palkia 1 Ultra 2 Dusk Balls, both were caught at night, of course. Yet Giritina took me 28 Dusk Balls...


    (According to the Chatot thing, Dialga and Palkia DO have a Catch Rate somewhat like a Chatot's)

    This is in Platinum by the way.

    I have just recently got dialga and palkia, and for both of them i captured with my first ultra ball:p i was hoping they would be hard to capture like darkrai was and the threee fairies.

    Also i wish we could of gone to their lair and have to search to find them.( But i guessed that they live in space so yeah:p)

    Anyone have trouble capturing them?

    I utilized my Master Ball, so I had no trouble catching him. I made a bad mistake using the master ball. I probably could've used it on more powerful foes...

    Diagla - x1-3 Utra Balls
    Palkia - x1 Dusk Ball

    They weren't that difficult. I caught Dialga and Palkia with several Ultra Balls.
    What was most difficult for me was Mesprit.

    I didn't even bother with any effort in Mesprit. I didn't have a Pokemon that could trap him in battle. I just used my Master Ball and had my Mewtwo from LeafGreen transfer another one to me.

    Problem solved.
