4th Gen Hardest Legendary to catch?

[Squirrel]

I've never caught Shaymin, Darkrai or Arceus due to them being event only, so I guess it'd have to be all three of them? But from the in-game legendarys, it's probably Regigas, that dude is strong and stubborn! It's like trying to catch a child throwing a tantrum... >.>

 

[Hikamaru]

I had trouble catching Suicune in SS, I had to stock up on 40 Dusk Balls and I eventually caught it.

 

[(=Nemesis=)]

Not counting the roamers, Azelf is the hardest legendary to catch IMO because each time it breaks out, you'll either eat something off of base 125 Special Attack or risk letting it set up a Nasty Plot to make its attacks more potent.

-THIS-

I spent hours trying and failing to catch Azelf. Smokescreen was my only real ally in that fight. And even then my Mewtwo had to make a special guest appearance.

 

[LéDerp]

Uxie imo, I've spend hours on that bltch

 

[lucariolugia]

That. That THING over there. *points to mesprit*
You were roaming for over a year on my game. >:I
/Raeg

 

[Aglid]

Arceus is the hardest.

First because you can't reach him without cheat. Have to share hacked wondercard if you don't want to ruin your game with action replay.

And also... he heals and he regenerates. I spent more time getting him to 1hp and paralyse him than launch balls.

 

[Beaute]

Well, the only pokemon I didn't catch was Arceus, but a friend gave me a legit one...

So, I guess I would have to pick Cresselia since I had to use my masterball to catch it. I can't remember why I used a masterball, I guess I was most likely fed up with it.

 

[DiabloMask]

I think Arceus's the hardest to catch, but Regigas is the hardest to find
i'm still playing the game till now, but my friend told me about it
so i'm not gonna vote yet.

 

[AquaticWartortle]

Mesprit was the hardest for me, it kept on running away! :(

 

[cazzler]

Cresselia gave me a hard time, not only tracking it down but also keeping it inside the ball!

 

[vaporeon7]

Mesprit was super annoying because I had to go find it. Acreus would've probably been if we got the event. I hate having to catch roaming Pokemon.

 

[Snivy063]

Cresselia was definitely the hardest one to catch, it just won't back down! D:

 

[miltankRancher]

I had a particularly hard time to catch Regigigas. It took me a long time to import the three mineral kings (aka golems) and then make my way through the temple, and catching him. Even at 1 HP, and asleep, I couldn't catch it. Only I only have 40 Pokeballs remaining, (from my 15 great ball, 20 Ultra Ball, and 50 Pokeball) when I caught him. In a Pokeball.

 

[idlemino]

Cresselia, I had to chase it around

 

[.Scream]

Azelf, it was such a pain!

 

[Ciax]

Mesprit, I hate roaming legends and I used my master ball on giratina

 

[Blizz]

Mesprit was hardest to catch just like Suicune at Soul Silver.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

I'd have to say Giratina on Platinum although Mespirit, Cresselia, and Regigigas come in very close too.

 

[Ikonmelee]

I don't know if it was the absolute hardest but in Platinum I found Heatran pretty hard. Otherwise, the emotion trio was hard.

the emo trio and cress where just a pain in the butt... heatran and giratina were actually hard to catch

Please don't bump threads over a month old since the last post, please.

Closed, but if someone wants to remake this go ahead (although for 4th gen rather than just DPPt would be an idea).
