    My hardest catch had to be Metang. It REFUSED to be caught! I'm not even sure how long that battle lasted, but I know I used about 30 Ultra Balls. Luckily, my Timer Ball was put into good use. I only had one.

  • I haven't gotten to the major legendaries yet but I had a really hard time catching a Sawk O.o I lowered its HP to almost nothing, paralyzed it, and continuously lowered its defense and it still used up all of my pokeballs to catch it.

  • Well, okay, I won't give the answer of any legends because, well, they are supposed to be hard to catch!
    My answer would be Darmanitan. It kept on dying because of the freaking sandstorm!! It was paralyzed, had red health, and still would not stay in the ball! So it dies... ;;

  • Most were pretty easy, Like for Kyurem and Zekrom I just threw ultra balls and dusks at them for awhile..And then just threw one timer ball and caught them ^_^. Victini was annoying, finally got it with a heal ball (lolz, was my last ball too) Cobalion and the Visi guy werent too much of a challenge though...I think the hardest was Thundurus. Took me an hour to find the route he was on, cuz everytime I got to the supposed "storming route" he had moved..When I finally found him, he ran, spent another 15 minutes tracking him down, and just said "screw this, master ball time!" XD.

  • Even though I've vowed to do a Premier Ball challenge for every Legendary I've met, it surprisingly isn't as tough as I'd imagined. o_O Albeit, it takes a few resets, but eventually the Premier Ball just manages to click its way to victory...

    Critical captures always fail for me, ironically. ;_;

    Anyway, with that being said, I think the toughest legendary one was Terrakion. It pretty much took the longest, but, to my recollection, I had a Fraxure or something, and False Swipe wasn't to my favor.

    Otherwise, it'll have to be Volcarona. My Pokemon were severely underleveled when I met this beast, so I just relied on chucking Quick Balls and resetting when things got ugly (In other words, after the 2nd Quick Ball). It took over 10 retries, haha. xD

    31 Ultras
    12 Greats
    43 Poke ball
    1 Quick ball

    I think was all had trouble catching those rare Pokemon. Lol, it's the not-so-rare ones that get frustrating when hard to capture. Haha.
