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

Tinhead Bruce May 27th, 2009 3:12 PM

They were all equally easy. Most of them have a catch rate of 3, so yeah.

SooHee May 27th, 2009 3:15 PM

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)

LoversEnd May 27th, 2009 7:58 PM

haha definitley mesprit took quite a while for me 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

For me it would probably be Uxie. He was hard to catch.

Jas_66 May 27th, 2009 10:33 PM

iCeDrAgOn01 May 28th, 2009 1:32 PM

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 :[

Inferno1 May 28th, 2009 9:47 PM

giratina in platinum was hard as i needed hondoom to thunder fang it till it got paralysed and then used floatzels surf till it had very little hp and threw ultra balls

Missingno Baby May 28th, 2009 9:49 PM

When I was younger, I always raged in frustration from 'runners'.

Talk about PITA.

Raykon May 28th, 2009 9:53 PM

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.

RYOUKI May 28th, 2009 10:31 PM

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. ;;

Heatran, no questions asked.

I don't know why but Azelf is hard to catch. I believe it's because it uses Nasty Plot a lot but I am not sure. Even Uxie was a bit easier to catch than Azelf.

Snerd May 29th, 2009 10:30 AM

I struggled really hard with Heatran. I kept using all my Ultra Balls or defeating it by accident. T_T

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 29th, 2009 5:30 PM

stupid dumb Cresselia and stupid dumb Mespirt. Those stupid dumb things, they always run away


:t354:TG

Wonderskitty May 30th, 2009 2:16 PM

Darkrai cos it can turn into a shadow before you catch it.I think...

MikeSalZap May 30th, 2009 4:18 PM

it haves to be mesprit i can even find it yet on my platinum

jigglyppuff8 May 30th, 2009 4:21 PM

You're awesome for not putting Palkia or Dialga on the list. Azelf was the most frustrating for me. I ended up wasting my Master Ball on it.

Calvo819 May 30th, 2009 4:29 PM

giratina was easy as hell.

ultra ball, i used fake out over and ovre, then Hypnosis

cheese rox! May 30th, 2009 4:30 PM

Cresselia. I used my masterball on Mesprit, then Cresselia was the hardest to catch before it ran.

Primal_Dialga May 30th, 2009 4:44 PM

heatran was annoying, but azlef was a pest too.

Ayano Hana May 30th, 2009 4:59 PM

Giratina or Mesprit. I threw approximately 40 Dusk Balls at each, and they kept breaking out. It got frustrating after awhile.
