Not really no. I just waited til night time then used Dusk Balls.

I haven't caught either of them yet in my Platinum version but I did find Dialga very easy to catch in Diamond. It only took me 1 Dusk Ball to catch it at night after I got its health to red.

Hovo August 8th, 2009 9:04 AM

Yeah, they were easy. Only took like maybe around 5 minutes for each of them, but that's including weakening them down and catching them.

Shem August 8th, 2009 12:20 PM

Piece of cake, caught them with one dusk ball each.

KitFox August 8th, 2009 7:55 PM

It was hell easy, legendaries aren`t hard to capture at most times.

Chary August 8th, 2009 9:00 PM

Same for me.-Dialga was 2 Dusk,-Palkia 1 Ultra 2 Dusk Balls, both were caught at night, of course. Yet Giritina took me 28 Dusk Balls...


(According to the Chatot thing, Dialga and Palkia DO have a Catch Rate somewhat like a Chatot's)

I have just recently got dialga and palkia, and for both of them i captured with my first ultra ball:p i was hoping they would be hard to capture like darkrai was and the threee fairies.

Also i wish we could of gone to their lair and have to search to find them.( But i guessed that they live in space so yeah:p)

Anyone have trouble capturing them?

I utilized my Master Ball, so I had no trouble catching him. I made a bad mistake using the master ball. I probably could've used it on more powerful foes...

IceSage August 9th, 2009 3:54 PM

I tossed an Ultra Ball at him. He didn't really resist.

Skystrike August 9th, 2009 4:05 PM

I lost my first platinum (Gettting another one btw), but here it is:
Diagla - x1-3 Utra Balls
Palkia - x1 Dusk Ball

Logiedan August 9th, 2009 4:15 PM

They weren't that difficult. I caught Dialga and Palkia with several Ultra Balls.
What was most difficult for me was Mesprit.

I didn't even bother with any effort in Mesprit. I didn't have a Pokemon that could trap him in battle. I just used my Master Ball and had my Mewtwo from LeafGreen transfer another one to me.

Problem solved.

Emp395 August 10th, 2009 3:26 AM

Am I the only one who caught them with a mere Poké Ball. o.o

Eon-Rider August 10th, 2009 4:28 AM

Of course they're hard. Not for me though. I use Master Balls. ;)

Orangefeather August 10th, 2009 6:26 AM

They have the highest catch rate of all legendaries.. I threw a few ultra balls each and they were caught. Easy.

xJORDO94x August 10th, 2009 8:47 AM

LOL i still cant believe how easy they were to catch :p

Sakura Rain August 10th, 2009 12:43 PM

Not at all. I caught Dialga with 2 Ultra Balls, and Palkia for some reason took slightly more at four Ultra Balls.

sanny the hedgehog August 10th, 2009 12:44 PM

nah just chuck a master ball at 'em
and viola'
you just caught a legendary pokemon!!
but thats on my diamond version

PorcelainDoll August 10th, 2009 12:47 PM

I don't think palkia or dialga are that hard to catch. The three lakes and Cresselia are the irritating ones to catch because they are flaky and flee all the time. Giratina even puts up more of a fight than the two dragons.

Mages4ever August 10th, 2009 1:18 PM

I caught both of them in Pokeballs.
So, I would say their not that hard to catch.

No you aren't! I did in Platinum! Also did with Heatran

xxChazxx August 10th, 2009 8:09 PM

I caught Dialga with one Dusk Ball.

It was night and it's a cave so it worked out well.

Palkia was with a few Pokeballs and Giratina took a Great Ball.

Equus August 10th, 2009 8:32 PM

My Dialga on my Diamond was easy to catch, I don't remember how many Pokeballs it took me to catch it, though. All I remember is that I caught it in a Heal Ball.

Rocker32703 August 11th, 2009 2:12 PM

pfft, with 100% Catch Rate I got them in Quick Balls, just for looks. If I wanted to trade them I would have caught them in Pokeballs, but I wanted to keep them.

Almost everything I have is in a Pokeball. *pats AR* :3

Emp395 August 11th, 2009 2:16 PM

Yep, I am the only guy who caught them in a normal Poké Ball.

NotchedEarPichu August 11th, 2009 3:11 PM

No they weren't that hard to catch at all.
Dialga-5 Dusk Balls
Palkia-2 Dusk Balls
