  • Giratina was difficult on platinum, its moves didnt have much PP and so i'd get it to low HP and it'd use struggle & therefore kill itself >____<
    after 6 tries i just threw my masterball at it straight away.
    and azelf is so hard to catch :|
    its hard enough surviving it, after it uses nasty plot about 469747956 times then uses either uproar or future sight, you're done for.
    i caught it shiny in the end, cos i'd attempted its capture about 20 times and i put it to sleep the first turn and used a quick ball the 2nd :3
    (just realised how lucky i was to get that now)

    on my experience on pearl it was azelf, giratina, regigigas and heatran that almost drain out the pokeballs i have. catching legendaries is just mainly measure of luck you have, just my opinion.

    It had to be Mesprit/Cresseilia for me. Pretty annoying pokémon...

    Regigigas was really hard to catch for me. It probably took me around thirty ultra balls just for me to finally catch it.

  • For some reason, Azelf is being ridiculously hard to catch D: This whole week I've been trying to catch him in my platinum but refuses to be caught! I want to get on with the game already! haha

  • Giratnia was actually pretty easy for me got it second time, first time he struggled himself to death lol. For me it was Mesprit, took so many times of just resetting my game because he either wiped out my team from using so many nasty plots, or just wouldn't catch and I ran out. Took me a good 15 times lol. So ya my vote goes to that little guy :D

  • Pearl: Mesprit, took me two WHOLE months to catch, when I first caught up with it I nearly fainted it, but lucky it got down to around about 10 hp left, again tried catching it, finally caught it near Lake Vercity (I think).
    Platium: Azelf + Uxie, between them I have used like 100 dusk, ultra and timer balls on them, I finally caught them though (phew)

    I am sure most of you have had a hard time catching a legendary pokemon in Diamond, Pearl and/or Platinum. Which one was the hardest one for you to catch?

    I would have to say Giratina and Mesprit. Giratina was pretty strong for me to handle, and Mesprit just kept moving all over the place.
    mine too main because i didnt want to use the master ball on them

    Well I;ve only had the game for a couple days but in Platinum Mesprit is the hardest for me to catch. Just because it always runs when you fail to catch it :[

  • Diagla, it was really painfull for me, I had low amount of ultra balls and I was not going to go through all that again just to get more ultra balls and my pokemon where hurt from the battles against Team Galactic.

  • Argh. Romaing legendary. Mespirirt, Moltres, Zapdos. I haven't seen Articuno yet, but still.

    I don't have Pokemon with the Shadow Tag so I can't trap them. Argh. ;;
