I remember trying to catch Giritina. Somehow my gyrados managed to freeze him or something like that, then I ran out of pokeballs (shame on me). Then I tried burning for lack of a pokemon to put him to sleep. After trying that to an almost successful point... I decided to catch a gloom (I think) After putting him to sleep I caught him right away.

As for azelf It kept using uproar and nasty plot-that is what killed me. To this day I refuse to try catching it on Pt.

for me giratina, without doubt

Mesprit is a little bit hard. But Cresselia is much harder. I almost spent 1 hour for catching these Lunar Pokemon ~_~.

For me (and sure for many others) roaming Pokemon are always and again hard to catch. Because even when you trap them with Wobbuffet' Shadow Tag or Mean Look, they are hard to catch and then, piece for piece, they will defeat your Wobbuffet or your Pokemon with Mean Look.

Giratina. Azelf used to give me a huge problem until I stopped using Ultra Balls on it and started using Dusk Balls.

I always end up using Master Balls on the Roamers just because it's easier.

Uxie is being a pain in the ass.. even though it's night and I'm using Dust Balls xD

Sweet Candace June 7th, 2009 9:26 AM

For me it was Uxie. No matter how many Ultra Balls and Dusk Balls I threw, the stupid thing kept popping out. Espically right before the Poke Ball locks for a successful capture. That happened so many times to me I decided to get one from my friend instead.

kevinkjb81 June 7th, 2009 9:50 AM

Azelf. It kept useing Nasty Plot on me so its attack was so high it would ko my LV 50 Infernape with Swift. Seriously.

Burzes June 7th, 2009 10:15 AM

I've gotten Mesprit near down to half health, I throw a quick ball, Ultra, or a heal ball. When it breaks out, It flees. The next time I encounter it, I'll have a master ball thanks to my Pokemon Emerald.

Sebastien Loeb June 7th, 2009 10:53 AM

According to the legendary one more difficult to capture it is Regigigas.

Blaziquaza June 7th, 2009 5:43 PM

For me right now Uxie.IN fact,I'm trying to catch it waiting for other pages of the site to come up.

AmazingPiplup June 8th, 2009 4:45 PM

Giratina for sure. It's the only legendary in Platinum I used a masterball on. I caught all the roamings in Quick balls (I let them roam around so they wouldn't run out of PP) when I slowly got them all down to one HP with false swipe and to sleep. I caught heatran with a lot of luck, I was wasting some ultra balls on it so I could use a timer ball, and what do you know one caught it! Dialga wasn't the easiest for me to catch, it was being mean. :P But I caught Palkia in a Quick ball.

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.

i would say asseas, ho ho, and shadow lugia

.little monster June 9th, 2009 1:29 PM

Giratina by a long shot. I was trying to catch it for two hours yesterday in Pearl. It was False Swiped completely, paralyzed, and I was using Dusk Balls. Oh Giratina, you're silly.

"Shadow Lugia" June 9th, 2009 1:30 PM

Any of the roaming Pokemon. Take the pain that is a normal legendary battle and add the Pokemon fleeing after one turn and having to search for it again and again and again...

Pyrax June 9th, 2009 1:36 PM

Azelf, I had like 1 ultra ball left.
And of course the roaming pokémon.

Elena June 10th, 2009 2:35 PM

Giratina.
Fillllllllllllller

Skitty19 June 10th, 2009 5:17 PM

It really depends. Mesprite was awful on both my Diamond and my Platinum, but on the latter it took three very long time to catch. Personally, they were both pretty bad if you ask me!

AuburnTigers June 10th, 2009 5:46 PM

Azelf ftw, giratina only took 30 ultra balls, 5 dusk balls, and 1 timer ball. If you ask me giratina was easy money

SparklingMistral June 10th, 2009 5:51 PM

The lake Pokémon, Cresselia, & Heatran. They were the Pokémon I used the most Ultra Balls & various other types of PokéBalls on. D:

JaggedMan June 10th, 2009 6:11 PM

I really hate Mesprit... It took me about 68 tries to catch it. And Cresselia took me about 15 tries. Those were the hardest for me.

JoltIce June 10th, 2009 6:26 PM

Mesprit, just because it was a roaming Pokemon

And Giratina in Diamond, it took so many Ultra Balls to get that thing.

whodathunk June 10th, 2009 6:38 PM

wasn't even a legendary. took 10 dusk balls, 13 timer balls and 20 ultras to get a steelix

Pikachuuu June 10th, 2009 8:00 PM

the hardest on my diamond are heatran, giratina, cressilia(i took like 20 times to catch cressialia, heatran like 8 times and giratina 2 times but i caught it after 50 dusk balls) alot people said that azelf was difficult but i think it was easy cos i used 1 quick ball and CAPTURE
