  • Cobalion and Terrakion both took around 40 of my Ultra Balls, compared to Virizion who only took around about 4. :L

    Cobalion Kyurem and Sawk, everything else was surprisingly easy. When I first found Sawk I ended up struggle killing the stupid thing using Great Balls. Cobalion took a good 5 struggle kill tries. Kyurem was also a loser about being caught. Oh, I might seems crazy for this but does anybody else yell/sweet talk legendaries and crap when you have trouble catching them?

    Victini was very difficult. Took me 20 great balls to get it. Everything else was surprisingly easy to catch though.

  • Zekrom (HP in the red + sleep) - 2 Ultra balls
    Cobalion (HP in the yellow) - 1 Ultra ball

    Now those were easy (probably lucky) but Victini was VERY annoying.
    Victini (False Swipe to 1HP + sleep) - all 30 of my Ultra balls then I threw a Timer ball just to see if it would work and it did :(

  • Reading through these posts I feel stupidly lucky as none have required me to reset. Each legendary I've only had to battle once before I've captured them. Victini and Zekrom took no time at all, weakened down, paralyzed and only one ultra ball for capture.

    The one that took most balls was Terrakion.

  • Easily Metang.
    I used all 75 dusk balls on it (at midnight)
    and 30 ultra balls, eventually it struggled to death.
    Caught it the second time, used 40 or so dusk balls.

    I know! it took me 3 tries and 3 return trips ( my pokemon fainted ) I finally caught with like one hp paralyzation and a great ball, it still took me more than 38 of my pokeballs
    ( 38 of my ultra balls ) and I got no critical captures.

  • @Onix161, How'd you bypass the 25 character rule?

    And my hardest to catch was Victini ot Thundrus.

    Thunderus is in Red health and Sleeping, iwait till night, use dusk balls, won't work. I can't friggin' catch it!

  • I can't remember it's name, but the one in the desert that floated with all the colors and the feather-things... took A MILLION POKEBALLS and I killed like three on accident >.<

    I caught Victini after two tries O.o

  • For me was a Sawk that I had encountered in the beginning of the game. Took 19 pokeballs, 4 heal balls, and 23 greats balls. Finally caught him in a great ball.

    For me, it was Metang. But it only took me 8 Dusk Balls though :)

  • so far, if we're talking successful catches, it would have to be my Timburr before the Nacrene Gym. Took all 15 of my pokeballs and the 2 great balls I found on my travels to that point.

    Unsuccessfully, it would have to be Sigilyph (sp?) in the Desert Resort. When it was in the red, i threw an Ultra ball, it broke free without rolling even once, and the sandstorm killed him. >:(

  • Not counting the legendary Pokémon, I suppose the hardest one to catch would be Emonga or Drilbur. I spent what seemed like hours running around the caves until I found that first disturbance in the sand for the latter. XD

  • I'm having a problem with capturing Victini, even when its status are lowered, at 1HP and asleep, it just does not want to stay inside of the ball (what is your problem Victini)

  • Drillbur, I hate looking for one in the caves and I found two, they were both female, sorry but Excadrill doesn't suit being female for me :(
