Which was the hardest pokemon to catch?
 
Ok...you all know in Diamond and Pearl there are some new legendary pokemon to catch like...Giratina, Palkia, Heatran, Mesprit, etc. Which was the hardest to catch for you? My hardest was Giratina...but that's the only one that gave me trouble. Anyways, what was your hardest catch?

elmo534 September 22nd, 2008 7:31 AM

darned giratina used like 40 dusk balls lol

Milke September 22nd, 2008 7:41 AM

I used an imported master ball on Giratina but it took me like 50+ balls to get heatran

I caught all of my non-event legendaries in D/P with Luxury balls except for Heatran. He's really hard to catch with a Luxury Ball!

Pave Low September 22nd, 2008 7:54 AM

i really found it hard to catch heatran, my weavile with false swipe got it to 1hp and then 50 and i mean 50 ultra balls

Serrah September 22nd, 2008 7:58 AM

Looks like so far Heatran is the hardest to catch between you guys...yeah, Heatran was my second hardest to catch.

My hardest to catch is between Heatran and Azelf.

Saud-Blaziken September 22nd, 2008 8:02 AM

my first hardest is mesprit cuz you have to chase him around second was crisalia 3rd is giratina

Haza September 22nd, 2008 8:08 AM

Mesprit was hardest to me but I just used my masterball out of frustration.

Serrah September 22nd, 2008 8:14 AM

I caught Mesprit with Ultra Balls and it couldn't run becuase I caught a Golbat and it new Mean Look...it was a simpler way for me!

BrandoSheriff September 22nd, 2008 8:17 AM

i know Azelf isn't up there, but it was the hardest to catch. i got it to the red, and started throwing dusk and ultra balls. it didn't seem like getting it to the red was helping! finally after what seemed to be 40 dusk balls and 57 ultra balls, i finally caught it. Azelf was so hard to catch.

Serrah September 22nd, 2008 8:25 AM

Azelf may not be up there but it still is counted on this thread...so feel free to put any legendary in the sinnoh region that you find hard to catch.

Mine isn't listed; Uxie was the hardest for me; especially in the Type-Duo Challenge I took part in, but was never able to finish. I think the battle is in my Profile; in the description, I highlighted that it took me about 10 or so tries to actually catch it. Granted I was only using Pokeballs, at the time, but regardless of my methods, it was still a harsh catch; especially when compared to Palkia, Azelf and Mesprit; they didn't take half as long as Uxie did.

But of course, the Masterball makes short work of any capture... XD

Blk_Ducky September 22nd, 2008 9:31 AM

I voted Heatran. A LOT of ultra balls and a few dusk balls later, I finally caught it.

Giratina = Easiest: barely damaged it, Paralyze and threw 3 dusk balls. Quickest of all my legendary catches (excluding Masterball catches).

Spirit Ruler September 22nd, 2008 9:57 AM

I caught Dialga, Palkia and Giratina with ease. The lake spirits were hard to catch (Mesprit being the hardest until migrated a Shiny Golbat from Ruby). But the hardest for me was definately Heatran. It took me about 50-70 Ultra / Dusk balls to catch it.

Lord Yawgmoth September 22nd, 2008 10:41 AM

Heatran was incredibly easy; Surf from Palkia, Hypnosis from Gengar, then two Dusk Balls. Easy as that. =3
Giratina took me around 35 Dusk Balls to catch. It's a good thing he was an idiot and kept using Slash and Earth Power on my Gengar. XD

PKDante September 22nd, 2008 10:49 AM

Cresselia for me, I was lucky with the rest, they didn't give me any trouble at all

No78 September 22nd, 2008 11:20 AM

I was gonna say "Feebas!" untill I saw the poll options xD

Well I'll vote Giratina as I've never encountered him...

The Lake Guardians were no trouble for me, and I was really lucky with the roaming one because it just showed up, Master Ball, done! (Always save the master ball for the roamer!) I was really concerned with completing the Pokedex in the FRLG/RSE era but not so much at the moment. I guess it'll creep back eventually then I'll be on a catching spree :P

I also don't have a Dialga but I'm sure it will be easy enough to obtain... I know people...

Ocelot September 22nd, 2008 11:32 AM

The hardest for me to catch is Mesprit. In fact. I still haven't caught it... even though it's paralyzed and in the red...

Ooka September 22nd, 2008 12:48 PM

Well, it was almost a tie between Heatran and Giratina, but I'd have to say in the end it was Giratina. I believe I used in excess of 35 Ultra Balls. (I should have been using Dusk Balls xD)

El Gofre September 22nd, 2008 1:01 PM

There seems to be an obscenely annoying lunar duck missing from your list D=<

PKDante September 22nd, 2008 1:34 PM

Agreed!

Why is it missing?

(Lunar duck XD)

Kucheat September 22nd, 2008 1:37 PM

Of the ones on this poll, definitely Mesprit. It requires a long, involved strategy unique to itself (besides Cresselia). Unless you use a Master Ball.

Mōnštȝr¿ September 22nd, 2008 1:44 PM

heatran was hardest for me.

True Justice September 22nd, 2008 1:46 PM

Giratina seemed to be the worst for me. Even Dusk balls still made it difficult to catch. Heatran comes close in second though.
