Azelf, same thing. Freeze hacks, sliver of hp.
Heatran was a pain in the ass to catch. Took too many tries.

LOL yes, I've got tired catching them and spend my money on dusk balls/ultra balls/etc...

On Diamond, it was Giratina, and on Pearl, it was Heatran - he just didn't want to stay in the darn ball!

I've only got Rotom so far in Platinum, but I have a sneaky suspicion Giratina will cause me problems when I get to the beast...

Pokerad May 31st, 2009 5:15 AM

I think it was Giratina, for mesprit i did only have to use 1 quick ball!!!

OokamiShipper May 31st, 2009 9:11 AM

Mesprit, because I had to look all over for it. xP
And it always seems to show up when I'm training my weaker Pokemon, so I never inflict enough damage in order to catch it. xP

Ayselipera May 31st, 2009 9:18 AM

I was able to track down Mespirit easily, but
catching it was another matter. I had about 50
ultra balls on me and it broke through them all.
I got so frustrated I just used my master ball on
it.

no legendaries were hard for me to catch. i don't know why, but my pokeballs work like master balls and i don't have an action replay

Jimmyray May 31st, 2009 9:45 AM

Regigigas for me, took aaaages.

Isabelle May 31st, 2009 10:13 AM

Probably. Giratina. I usually spent alot of many pokeballs. I think i caught giratina for 1 hour?

titodsik1 May 31st, 2009 10:24 AM

Cressilia was the hardest one to catch for me especially when you have to chase after it lol it just gets frustrating going after her through the whole map I know they have the legendary birds do this in platinum but ill catch them eventually so as cressilia I have one from diamond so im going for my next one

redragon94 May 31st, 2009 11:05 AM

there is no " hardest legedery pokemon to chatch" from my point of view,
they all got a catch rate of 3 which makes them different from everyone else, so they are all hard to catch, its all about luck (but for some reason they made dialga and parkia ridiculously easy to catch in platinum, with a catch rate of 30!! equal to a chatot)
but to be honest the hardest one was uxie, i dont know why but it took me 3 day to catch it

Justout May 31st, 2009 1:50 PM

I see no Mewtwo or Rayquaza. They were a pain because they could actually hurt me.

Mesprit and Cresselia I caught in pokeballs.

Cold Fusion May 31st, 2009 1:58 PM

My hardest to catch was Azelf. >.<
Three hours at that thing just to get it.

Cardwell74 June 3rd, 2009 4:05 PM

for it is regigigas for one reason, you HAVE to have the regi's, which arent very helpful, on your team

Shem June 3rd, 2009 4:35 PM

I have to say Regigigas in Platinum. that level 1 thing really threw me off, i still haven't caught him yet...

SPEEDIE June 3rd, 2009 4:42 PM

Giratina I dont know how many times i battled it b4 i finally caught it

§ June 3rd, 2009 4:42 PM

Rotom, because I couldn't use False Swipe on it. xD

Actually, the hardest for me was Cress. Even after I Mean Look + Baton Passed with Umbreon, it took me over 50 Luxury Balls to get it.

Yuuko June 3rd, 2009 5:09 PM

I caught Giratina in 8 Dusk Balls, Azelf in 1 Dusk Ball, Uxie in 1 Dusk Ball, and Mesprit and Cresselia with a Masterball. Didn't feel like bothering with trying to use Mean Look strategy. :/

I didn't get to catch the rest, since I haven't bothered.

Zetsu_69 June 3rd, 2009 7:46 PM

Latias was a pain. The ones that flew around were really hard.
I also hated those freaky blind embryo things (mesprit, azelf, etc.)

KnilShadowLink June 4th, 2009 3:27 PM

f***ing Cresselia...I was able to catch Diagla, Palkia, Giratina, Uxie, Azelf, Regigigas, & Heatran with Pokeballs (about 20-30 for each one...after a False Swipe & Thunderwave of course), Hell I even tossed a Great Ball at Mespririt and was able to get 'em, but Cresselia >_> I had to use a Master Ball on her...

EDIT: I forgot that I had to use an Icy Wind on Giratina...(I hate it's duel Ghost type)

dragonarche June 4th, 2009 8:02 PM

as for me giratinia it was too strong
and it kept on using shadow force which wiped out most of my pokemon in
1 hit!!
but i managed to chatch it with a great ball

Fire Eagle June 4th, 2009 9:47 PM

The hardest legendary to catch for me was Arceus, it took me nearly 500 ultra balls to catch him.

Wings Don't Cry June 4th, 2009 10:19 PM

Rotom- no false swipe and such low level, but easier on Platinum since you could catch before national dex

Giratina- Even when it was frozen at red hp it still would get captured

Ray Maverick June 4th, 2009 11:13 PM

Giratina is powerful for me to handle,so i couldn't catch it. DX

And Uxie made me hit my head on the wall. X.x
I used like 48 Ultra Balls!And,in the end,i didn't catch it,so it was a waste of time.

Regigigas was difficult too,cause i had to fight it with three useless regi's.

Alec_ June 5th, 2009 6:16 AM

I think it depends on your luck to catch a legendary pokemon. But for me the hardest was Heatran in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. i took 40 Ultra balls i guess :3 ^^

Giraffes? Giraffes! June 5th, 2009 6:20 AM

For me it was Giratina. That thing hated me. So many dusk and ultra balls to catch that thing at like 3 HP.
