So what was the hardest pokemon or ledgedary pokemon for you to catch for me it was shaymin

Mewtwo42 August 11th, 2009 5:19 PM

I traded to get all of my Legendaries. the only one I caught was Dialaga. I just threw one quickball, and caught it. (After restarting the game a few times.)

bit.trip void August 11th, 2009 5:21 PM

It was Giratina, in Pearl Version.

Greene1516 August 11th, 2009 5:25 PM

Azelf every time (1 Diamond, 2 Platinum). Don't know why, he just wouldn't stay in the frikkin' ball.

Megaman765 August 11th, 2009 5:34 PM

Azelf and uxie. I got lucky with giratina and caught it quick.

Vulpix_Trainer August 11th, 2009 5:34 PM

OMG Uxie, was a little ***tard to catch, on my diamond version... I used so many ultra balls, it got to the point where he used Struggle and killed itself...

xxChazxx August 11th, 2009 6:23 PM

Took me forever to catch Mespirit. After a chased it, I had to run into it 7 times, throwing a Quick Ball each time.

Don't you just hate it when they do that?

theDIRTYAVENGER August 11th, 2009 6:30 PM

Azelf and Uxie were desperatley hard.
I wanted to punch myself in the face...

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 11th, 2009 6:32 PM

Stupid Palkia in Stupid Pokemon Pearl (nah its not stupid) took 20+ Ultra balls for me to capture it


:t354:TG

Riggzyd August 11th, 2009 8:03 PM

Lol i got Mespirit and the other 2 guys
In 2 pokeballs XD
My hardest was Dark rai i used over 40 Luxury Balls then i caught it
But i forgot to save the game so i gotta capture him again but i dont feel like it

txteclipse August 11th, 2009 8:55 PM

Rayquaza. 70 Ultra Balls.

mew² August 11th, 2009 9:41 PM

Articuno and Mesprite in Platinum -.-

Zapados and Moltres easily failed to flee when I used quick balls when they were poisoned. But the other two won't... stop... running...

mugenhavok August 11th, 2009 9:49 PM

Entie. it wont stop running away from me i only just successfuly caught it 1 week ago......stupid entie.... >:(

Mattysaurus August 11th, 2009 10:04 PM

I guess Articuno..it kept runnin'...>.>

Precious Tears August 11th, 2009 10:47 PM

It was that damn Palkia in my Japanese Pearl...
I got angry and KO'd it... xD
Well that was 2 years ago then...
And since afterthat,
I keep cloning Master Balls in my Emerald. [=

Divine~Deoxys August 11th, 2009 11:48 PM

Giratina in distortion world.
I kept running out of pokemon coz he killed them all, so i had to quit, start at spear pillar, run away, get togekiss to lv.70, then go back and hit him wwith couple of air slashes then i used 99 ultra balls, 40 great balls, and in the end caught it in a nest ball

harig07 August 12th, 2009 3:42 AM

Azelf and Uxie. I think I used all of my Dusk Balls on them (and I had a lot of Dusk Balls, like 100.) and now I only have 2.

Druid August 12th, 2009 10:00 AM

Groudon in Emerald was horrible, I can't remember how many ultra balls but I restarted so many times... D:

In Diamond, probably Cresselia because I had already used my master ball on Mesprit. :\ I think I eventually got a Golbat with scary face. :D

King of Dragons August 12th, 2009 10:08 AM

The hardest one to catch for me in Platinum was Moltres.

I may have used more than 20 Ultra Balls on it then I ended up catching it with a Timer Ball.

Samme! August 12th, 2009 11:01 AM

Well at least you didn't kill every single one of the legendaries in your Diamond because you were too stupid to save before the battle ;_;

TigerSwift August 12th, 2009 11:29 AM

In Pearl i didn't think anything was hard to catch - oh how mistaken i was in platinum. Cresselia and Articuno are not wanting to be caught!

However, i remember Ho-oh in Gold being really really hard to catch as well.

iCrash August 12th, 2009 11:36 AM

Had to be, Moltres on leaf green, not sure, why but it took my a solid 50 ultra balls before eventually giving up and not caring :P

Nyjil da Kid August 12th, 2009 11:46 AM

Darkrai!! Actually it was a Ditto that transformed into the movie event Darkai
Roar of Time and Spacial Rend was a pain to deal with. I didn't know that in DP Ditto literally becomes the Pokemon [stats and all]... or I woulda had it transform into Magikarp...

Rokusasu August 12th, 2009 11:51 AM

Of all time, it has to be Ho-Oh on Gold. Sticking to this board's Gen though, I'd have to say... Azelf. It was a pain. D:<

IcyArceusRider August 12th, 2009 4:23 PM

The hardest for me was that Heatran on my Diamond version. That one was REALLY hard!

xxxLatiasxxx August 12th, 2009 4:53 PM

I think Azelf was the hardest legendary to catch for me.

Fenrir Reki August 12th, 2009 6:32 PM

I dont know why but on my diamond it took me over an hour to catch Mesprit. I eventually caught it after putting it to sleep and paralizing it. It was such an annoying battle.

Sarcastic Prince August 12th, 2009 8:33 PM

None. Why? 'Cause I use Action Replay to catch them. (999 x Master Balls) And I get all the Kanto/Johto/Hoenn Legendary Pokemon through Action Replay too. So personally, there's no Pokemon which is "Hard" for me to catch.

- Red - August 13th, 2009 5:01 AM

Giratina in Platinum (Distortion World). I'm pretty sure that... when a pokemon is PARALYZED and is at 1HP a Ultra Ball would catch it. I threw around 35 of these and decided to use my master ball...

Palamon August 13th, 2009 5:07 AM

Heatran, it took me all night to catch it.
Second were Uxie and Azelf for a tie.
Third is Cresselia.
Dialga was easy after defeating it twice I threw a Quick ball at it and caught it. :/

Tanaki August 13th, 2009 6:41 AM

Azelf was always a major pain, aside from the other 2 spirits and the regis, whom I have yet to catch due to their inability to stay in a ball for more than 1 budge.

Zelda August 13th, 2009 6:44 AM

The hardest pokémon I had trouble catching, was Giratina. I would usually get Giratina to 1 HP yet it would still be hard to catch him with Ultra Balls or whatever use I could make with the Dusk Balls [In the night]. I didn't really want to use my Master Ball at that time. The only time I could finally catch Giratina was when I gave it a status problem.

Mesprit was hard to catch as well as it kept fleeing, but I easily caught it when I got a Golbat to use Mean Look on it. I decided to use throw a few Ultra Balls, but the crazy thing is, is that I obtained it with a Poké Ball.

Equus August 13th, 2009 10:54 AM

Mine was Giratina in Platinum. After I weakened it and everything, it just didn't want to be caught, even with Dusk Balls. I reluctantly used my Master Ball.

The Regis in Platinum gave me a bit of trouble, too. Regice the most of the three...

Divine~Deoxys August 13th, 2009 12:13 PM

Definitely Articuno in platinum for me. Still not seen it yet lol.

But out of those i've caught, it's Azelf and Uxie, Heatran and Giratina (preferred the diamond one for catching, this one kept getting OHKO'd by Rotom's Ominous Wind).

Dialga nd Palkia were easy. Just sleep them with Darkrai then wast pp using nasty plot while bad dreams knocks them down, then 1 poke ball.

Logiedan August 13th, 2009 12:16 PM

Moltres and Mesprit. Those two were annoying.
over 20 Ultraballs and Dusk balls for both.

elmocha August 13th, 2009 9:12 PM

Diagla due to my under leveled team.

Dj2030 August 13th, 2009 9:52 PM

For me it was Cresselia.
I could never find her.

mervyn797 August 13th, 2009 10:08 PM

the lv 5 regigigas. i always killed him. and if i took a low level poke that poke would faint.

HeartGold95 August 13th, 2009 10:09 PM

Lucky me! My easiest one was Giratina from the disortion world and i caught it with three dusk balls when i had like 20 of them! Lol!

My hardest to catch was Rotom,which I used 18 ultra balls and then Uxie which took like 20 ultraballs and 10 duskballs! Another was Kyogre from saphire which took like 3 dive balls 10 ultra balls 3 nest balls 2 pokeballs and a luxury ball!
I remember kyogre well because it was caught recently!:)

@World August 14th, 2009 5:17 AM

Heatran, I wasted 50 Dusk balls, while it was asleep, and had about 3HP left XD

kazeshini August 14th, 2009 8:51 AM

hardest legendary you captured.
 
for me it was heatran, but wen u caught it i screamed "yes" so loud on that journey from school, and i had to refrain from fainting it aswell

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 14th, 2009 9:21 AM

Chatot
I also had a problem with Heatran, but not as much as Chatot

thegeneticway August 14th, 2009 10:19 AM

I think it was Giratina.

I pretty much got fed up with trying to catch it the regular way so I decided to use a masterball for the legendaries.

Capitalist Ness August 14th, 2009 10:44 AM

All legends catch's in first Dusk/Ultra/Quick Ball :O
But Azelf is hard, 47 Dusk Balls!

AfroConnor August 14th, 2009 11:01 AM

Diamond - Cresselia, Kept Fleeing!!
Pearl - Palkia!
Platinum - Mesprit or Moltres!!

I caught Dialga and Palkia at level 70 each with 1 Dusk Ball and 1 Quick Ball, respectively!!!!

magrathean August 14th, 2009 11:12 AM

Giratina. Everyone else was pretty easy.

magrathean August 14th, 2009 11:15 AM

Giratina. ): I used every ball I had with me trying to catch that thing.

Zacceh August 14th, 2009 11:22 AM

Well Azelf gave me a pain in the anus in Platinum. So did Giratina, really...

But so far, the birds, Cresselia & Mesprit are giving me a tough time. I caught both Palkia & Dialga in PokéBalls. Easy :P

HyPeRsHoCk August 14th, 2009 11:29 AM

The only legendary I've captured Giratina. I just used my Masterball on the first turn.

Don_Jon_91 August 14th, 2009 3:27 PM

Mewtwo was a beast, but I don't think it was as hard as any of the pokemon that flee constantly.

LuckyCharm August 14th, 2009 3:30 PM

Giratina.. I had to use my master ball on her cause even though she had one hp left, I would mean look her, she would struggle and die.. :(
it wass sooo sad.. finally I decided the only way was with my master ball..

gengar3528 August 14th, 2009 4:30 PM

Darkrai was deffinatly hard but azelf was the hardest in D/P

Erikus August 14th, 2009 9:58 PM

I think Dialga was the hardest. I only had one Pokemon alive at the time.

sheep10 August 23rd, 2009 6:36 AM

Azelf in Platinum, Mesprit in Pearl and Giratina in Diamond
