Well about an hour ago I caught Azelf in Platinum. He stayed in the first ball I threw which was an ultra ball. It was a very long battle though. But now I am trying to catch Uxie and it just won't stay in any balls. And it keeps struggling itself to death.

I found Giratina hard since you cannot False Swipe it.

Giratina, it's epic and it's dark and ghost, what more could you hate?!

Kagura June 18th, 2009 2:18 PM

Azelf was pretty annoying and tough to catch. It took me four tries, each using all of my Dusk Balls, and Ultra Balls. Finally caught it with the assistance of my Gardevoir's Hypnosis.

Mesprit roaming around Sinnoh, Cresselia too (I used my Master Balls). Giratina was the easiest, two tries, one Quick Ball.

Actually for me the legendary pokemon were surprisingly easy to catch. I caught both Dialga and Palkia with only 1 duskball each, then i caught Heatran which took 3 Duskballs. Following that i caught Zapdos and Moltres with 4 dusk balls each, Articuno was the hardest bird to catch and it took me 75+ Quickballs with only 2 hp before i finally caught it. The real legendary pokemon that gave me trouble were catching the 3 Regis in Platinum and Regigas.

Regigas was really easy in Platinum if you had a whole bunch of nest balls

Isn't that because Dialga and Palkia have a catch rate of 30 while Giratina only has a catch rate of 3 so they're like 10x easier to catch

The running legendaries = the biggest pains ever.-___-;

dark_giratina June 21st, 2009 8:20 AM

I think the hardest legendary is Heatran, thats the one ive had the biggest problem with. I mustve thrown about 50 ultra balls and darkballs at that mother :)

Blazers June 21st, 2009 8:31 AM

Lugia is always hard for me to catch.
I caught giratina first try with a poke ball =)

JP June 21st, 2009 8:49 AM

Mesprit and Cresselia. Giratina was hard too. I had a much easier time catching them in Diamond than I did in Platinum for some odd reason.

Lyra. June 21st, 2009 9:43 AM

For me, it was Azelf and Giratina in Diamond and Pearl, and Giratina in Platinum. I had Giratina down to 1HP and the Poke Ball still wouldn't shake!

LegenZs June 21st, 2009 9:57 AM

For Me it was giratina

Because Every time it used ominous wind or ancient power it stats would raise

All its stats raised 4 levels.

So even with 4 ice beams it didn't even put it in the yellow zone

Meadow June 21st, 2009 11:29 AM

Mespirit and Cresselia. Since they were roaming around, it was a lot harder.

Oh, The Places You'll Go. June 21st, 2009 6:30 PM

Mespirit will forever be my weak point.
The whole chase game stressed me out a ton. I don't do cheats of any sort, so I have to do it the hard way with regular Pokeballs and Shadow Tag. Its a major pain. >.>

Cornelius June 21st, 2009 8:23 PM

I think I had the hardest times trying to catch Heatran and Regigigas. Mesprit too, but the first two are the ones that I remember having the most trouble with since they would either faint or I ran out of Ultraballs to catch them with.

Droidz June 24th, 2009 2:53 AM

Cresselia was really hard for me, but i caught palkia with one ultra ball and giratina with 3 ultra balls.

beauty. proletariat June 24th, 2009 3:30 AM

>.> i had a hand at catching legendary birds / mesprit / cressila but i never got there and i never caught them... probably because i'm just too lazy to spend time to catch them XD

RockmanEXE June 24th, 2009 3:38 AM

None of them were hard for me.

mewcutest July 1st, 2009 8:49 AM

the hardest for me waz ho-oh in gold i had already used my master ball

Doctortux July 1st, 2009 8:53 AM

Mesprit and Cresselia by far. Whatever you do to them they always seem to get away.

-Leaf July 1st, 2009 8:57 AM

All those psycho-type runners gets easily owned by a crobat's bite / crunch...
id say giratina.. not only i wasn't able to catch it sometimes, when i got it it had crappy EVs.. and crappy natures.. it got on my nerves and i just threw a masterball and got myself a nice giratina with nice Evs and modest nature.
