Hardest B/W Pokemon to Catch?
 
We all have that Pokemon that just doesn't want to be caught. You could lob every form of Ball at it (Sav the Master Ball of course), knock it down to 1 HP, freeze it, paralyze it, and it JUST WON'T GET CAUGHT. What is YOUR Pokemon (Legendary or Otherwise) that would just not get caught?

For me, it's Cobalion. Reshiram was caught with one Ultra Ball, and Kyurem, I wasted my Master Ball on him. Cobalion, on the otherhand, does NOT WANT TO GO IN THIS DAMN BALL. 14 Ultra Balls, 13 Great Balls, 20 Poke Balls, Premier Ball, Heal Ball, I even threw a NET Ball at it. NOthing.

Raichupacabra March 15th, 2011 1:25 AM

Mine is Virizion. It took like 4 Pokeballs (yes pokeballs) to catch it.

Destiny. March 15th, 2011 1:25 AM

I tried to catch Reshiram with a Pokeball... and it worked. But it took more than 10 xD

lamby101 March 15th, 2011 2:10 AM

Well the legendaries are always going to be difficult to catch, but one that caught me off guard was Basculin.

He was Level 26, in red health, Pokeball= No Great Ball= No Ultra Ball= No Dusk Ball= No (Was in a cave) Net Ball= No in the end after throwing about 15 pokeballs I caught it in a Dive Ball :| resilient little thing.

Tsundera March 15th, 2011 5:16 AM

After Nacrene City, I encountered a Sawk for the first time and it took me 46 pokéballs to catch it. It was paralysed and at critical HP; I got so frustrated after the first 10 failed but I didn't want to give up! The Sawk even managed to break out of a critical capture n_n

BDT March 15th, 2011 5:24 AM

Cobalion was the hardest for me, so many tires and so many pokeballs used.
Terrakion 2/3 tries
and Virizion first try, used Blizzard, he used Giga Drain, then I used Crunch, used pokeball and bam! Caught! xD
Reshiram took me a few trys but In all Cobalion was the hardest so far.
Victini was annoying had to use a greatball on him

MiSoRamen March 15th, 2011 6:13 AM

Victini was surprisingly hard to catch!

Nateon March 15th, 2011 6:29 AM

I didn't really have any trouble with 'em, but attempting to catch victini on my friends DS for him was a nightmare, nothing would freaking catch it!

Rich Boy Rob March 15th, 2011 8:44 AM

I haven't had any real problems with catching this time round, usually everything I try to catch is real bas**** about it and refuse to stay in their balls, but Victini (which from what I hear actually has a very low catch rate) took a good 10 or so throws of Poké and Great Balls.
Also I lulled when I had more trouble trying to catch a Deino in Ultra Balls than Reshiram in a (single) Premier Ball. Seriously, I know the title Legendaries were mandatory captures this time round but still, Game Freak, give us a bit of a challenge will ya?

shinx12345 March 15th, 2011 8:46 AM

Easily Metang.
I used all 75 dusk balls on it (at midnight)
and 30 ultra balls, eventually it struggled to death.
Caught it the second time, used 40 or so dusk balls.

Volroc March 15th, 2011 8:52 AM

When it comes to getting a certain nature id say kyurem took me 40tries then i just gave up and took the one i got til i restarted

but overall, Victini took me 46balls the first time, the 2nd time 27-28, and i lost count from then on, but on my last file took me only 14 but i think its cuz my pokemon where in the 20s not 60s.

Porygon Z March 15th, 2011 8:59 AM

Landorus, wasted like 80 Ultra Balls and 50 Dusk Balls.

ѕℓσωвяσ March 15th, 2011 8:59 AM

Virizion was a pain in the backside for me to catch, ended up wasting my masterball and now I can't catch that big genie oaf pokemon. ;//~//;

Saryka March 15th, 2011 9:15 AM

Victini. I still haven't caught it yet, either. ;____; I've had friends who have caught it with just a regular Poké Ball, but I've lobbed Great Balls and even Ultra Balls at it and the little furball gets away every time. I clearly have no luck with this. XD

Eurydice March 15th, 2011 9:29 AM

the pokemon that was the hardest to catch so far was cofagirus or how ever its spelled. it kept cursing itself and knocking itself out -_-

RYOUKI March 15th, 2011 9:49 AM

My Excadrill. It took me how many Pokeballs, Greaynall, and Ultraball till it was captured by a critical catch. D:

Dreadnought March 15th, 2011 10:38 AM

Victini was definitely the hardest for me. The other legendaries were pretty easily especially since it took only one quick ball to catch a full health Thundurus (has a crappy nature though).

solarowl March 15th, 2011 10:38 AM

I think Cobalion was hard for me in my Jap. Black. It was so annoying and wouldn't get inside any balls. Even a Timer Balls, like after 40 turns. I never like to use my master balls on legendaries(except one time when I used a master ball on Palkia as a joke, and I accidentally saved.XD).

Lancelot-sama! March 15th, 2011 1:40 PM

Victini by far. The other legendaries surprisingly weren't exactly thaaaat much of a problem. Kyurem shockingly I didn't expect to catch on only a few ultra balls.

So many times I had to restart because I ran out of great balls, etc to catch Victini. x____x

fire woven March 15th, 2011 1:47 PM

Virizion just does not want to get caught. I have thrown 19 Ultra Balls, done that about 6 times, always in critical health, once it was at 1 hp, took 19 Ultra, 4 Poke, 1 Great, 3 Heal, and 2 Dusk, then my last pokemon went down and I reloaded. Also Giga Drain is annoying, since it can heal constantly.

And I had no problems with Vicinti at all. I got it on two attempts, and the first one failed due to a critical hit. Dont you hate them on Pokemon you want to capture?

Honest March 15th, 2011 4:05 PM

To be honest, NONE of them were a pain. I'm pretty proud of myself to say this, but I've caught EVERY Pokemon with a Pokeball. Yes, that includes Zekrom, Cobalion, the other two, Kyurem, and Volcarona. You're probably thinking that I must've stood there all day, but actually, I caught the majority of them with on 1HP, and it was Volcarona and Kyurem I paralyzed. If I had to choose one, though, it'd be the ground counterpart to Cobalian (forgot his name). Out of 56 Pokeballs, I used around 45. D=

Meganium March 15th, 2011 4:08 PM

I've been told that Victini is the hardest to catch out of any Pokemon in the game. Sometimes it takes about 15 ultra balls just to get it.

iRoyBoy March 15th, 2011 5:38 PM

I caught Cobalion on the first try, it was Victini and Virision that gave me problems. I used a quick ball on Kyurem and got it on the first try.
But the Sawk I ran into...damn did that thing ever fight. Metang's/Metagros are hard to catch to.

Dawn March 15th, 2011 7:08 PM

Aaarghh... that.. wandering... thundercloud...dude...person. I waited at a route he never went to for like an hour. I was sad.

Amaru March 15th, 2011 8:54 PM

Victini was a pain. Took over 40 pokeballs to catch.

(Yes. I one of those people who only use pokeballs.)

Pwnyta Jockey March 15th, 2011 9:13 PM

Kangaskhan was tough for me. So much so, I gave up after 22 Ultra balls so I could PokeTransfer one later.

I gotta try that...

Quicksand. March 15th, 2011 10:30 PM

SIGILYPH.

That thing was so frustrating. First off, its one of the rarer pokemon in the desert resort, with only a ten percent chance of appearing. It took my like half an hour to find one. Finally, when i did find one, i put my game face on. I got it down to yellow and tossed a pokeball at it. No luck. Tossed another one, then a great ball. Nope. Even used two ultra balls. By this time, it was in the red due to the sandstorm. Thats when i really started to panic. I threw one of my three timer balls at it, and it escaped. Thats when i thought i had lost it. But it remained alive, with only a sliver of hp left. I flung one more timer ball, praying i would catch it. And finally, Sigilyph was mine.

>:)

Shinjiaoki94 March 15th, 2011 10:34 PM

I tried and found that Karrablast is the hardest one... Sleep + 1 HP (False Swipe spam o_O) + 15 great balls
X_X
Btw, I think it simply bases on luck :P

j2y8n2x March 16th, 2011 4:22 AM

Mine was definitely Kyurem
It kept killing and killing my Pokemon and it just won't get into the ball!

Emurus March 16th, 2011 4:29 AM

(Yes. I one of those people who only use pokeballs.)

Yeah! Me too! (Except for Zekrom, 'cause he's special.)

I was gonna say Zekrom, but I caught him with only 1 Premier Ball. =P
Victini was easy...

I guess I'm gonna have to explore more, 'cause nothing seems hard to capture yet.

Mujahid March 16th, 2011 6:49 AM

Victini..That little thing is such a pain..1 hp(endure) + sleep ...still took 8 tries and 50+ ultra balls to catch...But it was worth it ;)

Erufuun March 16th, 2011 6:57 AM

What about Volcarona people?? The thing is at Level 70, Has Quiver dance, the thing will most likely take our your team before ya catch it! (Kinda like Azelf in Gen IV.)

EJ March 16th, 2011 7:40 AM

I keep hearing on how easy it is to get Kyurem. I need to go catch this guy.

I haven't tried the legendaries yet but for some reason I had trouble catching a throh lmao

jle1076 March 16th, 2011 7:44 AM

Im pretty sure Cobalion has the lowest catch rate in the game because it took over 10 dusk balls AFTER 20+ ultra balls and the initial quick ball when he had 1 HP with paralysis

yeah but i just killed it when I fought it cause you get a Larvesta Egg from a guy in game lol

Livewire March 16th, 2011 7:58 AM

I caught Cobalion, after like 3 Ultra balls. It wasn't even in red HP or anything. :/


http://imgboot.com/images/aragornbird/640.gif
Now, Virizion on the other hand, was a nightmare to catch. It died from W-o-W damage 3-4 times, and I accidentally Ko'd it a few times myself. All in all, I went through nearly 30 Ultra Balls and an hour or so trying get the damn thing. @[email protected]

drew16 March 16th, 2011 10:57 AM

Victini was by far the hardest for me, i used 24 pokeballs,28 great balls, 12 timer balls, and 30 ultra. i saved my game before trying to catch it and i had to restart my game 3 times, cause i ran out of pokeballs!

-weeper March 16th, 2011 11:03 AM

Mine was Kyurem (so far anyways). Took SO many retries cause it just kept struggling to death after a while. I haven't tried Victini yet (although it is apparently hard from what my friends say). Cobalion was pretty easy (2-3 Ultra Balls?), and I got a Crit Cap on Zekrom with an Ultra Ball.

Nameless. March 16th, 2011 11:18 AM

Victini by far. If it wasn't for me saving in front of it, it would have gotten out of my grasp 10 times or more. I think I reset the game after failed attempts like 7 times. I had like 30 Pokeballs [not just basic ones] on hand, that little bugger in yellow-red HP, and it absolutely refused to stay in the ball ; no matter what kind I threw. At some points it was even asleep thanks to Sleep Powder from my Petilil, but it was not happening. I was about to give up until I threw my last freakin' Great Ball at the flaming bunny, and all of a sudden -- click. It decided to be caught on the 7th time I reset in the final Pokeball.

Overall, it took an hour and a half to capture. ]:


Steven March 16th, 2011 11:21 AM

Kyurem for sure.

Victini was easy~

Mew~ March 16th, 2011 11:31 AM

For me it would actually have to be Meinshao, I found a level 59 on the route next to white city, even after I got it's HP to red, it still took all my Ultra balls (around 30), and then once they were all gone I used a Great ball and it worked, first one. ;.;

Superjub March 16th, 2011 1:10 PM

Cobalion and Terrakion both took around 40 of my Ultra Balls, compared to Virizion who only took around about 4. :L

kirbyking1234 March 16th, 2011 1:29 PM

Cobalion Kyurem and Sawk, everything else was surprisingly easy. When I first found Sawk I ended up struggle killing the stupid thing using Great Balls. Cobalion took a good 5 struggle kill tries. Kyurem was also a loser about being caught. Oh, I might seems crazy for this but does anybody else yell/sweet talk legendaries and crap when you have trouble catching them?

Palkia March 16th, 2011 1:38 PM

Victini was very difficult. Took me 20 great balls to get it. Everything else was surprisingly easy to catch though.

Drekin March 16th, 2011 1:51 PM

Zekrom (HP in the red + sleep) - 2 Ultra balls
Cobalion (HP in the yellow) - 1 Ultra ball

Now those were easy (probably lucky) but Victini was VERY annoying.
Victini (False Swipe to 1HP + sleep) - all 30 of my Ultra balls then I threw a Timer ball just to see if it would work and it did :(

nui876 March 16th, 2011 2:55 PM

victini was hard for me to catch

Mark9 March 16th, 2011 10:46 PM

Reading through these posts I feel stupidly lucky as none have required me to reset. Each legendary I've only had to battle once before I've captured them. Victini and Zekrom took no time at all, weakened down, paralyzed and only one ultra ball for capture.

The one that took most balls was Terrakion.

Caught it the second time, used 40 or so dusk balls.
I know! it took me 3 tries and 3 return trips ( my pokemon fainted ) I finally caught with like one hp paralyzation and a great ball, it still took me more than 38 of my pokeballs
( 38 of my ultra balls ) and I got no critical captures.

Sasuke. March 19th, 2011 7:37 AM

Landorus. He struggle killed himself the first time I fought him. -_-

Cookiez March 19th, 2011 7:47 AM

@Onix161, How'd you bypass the 25 character rule?

And my hardest to catch was Victini ot Thundrus.

Thunderus is in Red health and Sleeping, iwait till night, use dusk balls, won't work. I can't friggin' catch it!

TripLee March 19th, 2011 7:47 AM

Cobalion was a pain to catch.

Himechi March 19th, 2011 7:47 AM

I can't remember it's name, but the one in the desert that floated with all the colors and the feather-things... took A MILLION POKEBALLS and I killed like three on accident >.<

I caught Victini after two tries O.o

TheMysteryEgg March 19th, 2011 7:57 AM

Victini by far. Stayed up all night trying to catch it.

neonat2 March 20th, 2011 4:42 PM

For me was a Sawk that I had encountered in the beginning of the game. Took 19 pokeballs, 4 heal balls, and 23 greats balls. Finally caught him in a great ball.

Complans March 20th, 2011 4:47 PM

For me, it was Metang. But it only took me 8 Dusk Balls though :)

vobgro March 20th, 2011 4:58 PM

Deino and metang...90 pokeballs totally !#@%#& !!!!

OHM2010 March 25th, 2011 7:17 AM

so far, if we're talking successful catches, it would have to be my Timburr before the Nacrene Gym. Took all 15 of my pokeballs and the 2 great balls I found on my travels to that point.

Unsuccessfully, it would have to be Sigilyph (sp?) in the Desert Resort. When it was in the red, i threw an Ultra ball, it broke free without rolling even once, and the sandstorm killed him. >:(

Alakazam17 March 25th, 2011 7:29 AM

Not counting the legendary Pokémon, I suppose the hardest one to catch would be Emonga or Drilbur. I spent what seemed like hours running around the caves until I found that first disturbance in the sand for the latter. XD

OrpheusZero March 25th, 2011 7:35 AM

Emolga.

On the bright side my pokemon leveled up tons from thr mass Audino farming :D

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 29th, 2011 10:02 AM

I'm having a problem with capturing Victini, even when its status are lowered, at 1HP and asleep, it just does not want to stay inside of the ball (what is your problem Victini)


:t354:TG

blue March 29th, 2011 10:11 AM

Drillbur, I hate looking for one in the caves and I found two, they were both female, sorry but Excadrill doesn't suit being female for me :(

Yeah, Cobalion and Terrakion were the hardest to catch for me. Both took around 40 Ultra Balls each.
Ironically, I caught Virizion in about 4. XD

Ice Car March 29th, 2011 10:20 AM

Beldum. Only moves are Take Down and eventually struggle, and it has a capture rate of 3, same as all other legendaries. It'll kill itself faster if you weaken it and it'll kill itself regardless of whether you do so or not, you have only a few turns to capture the damn thing.

Annoying little piece.

mysticjoshgaming March 29th, 2011 10:59 AM

sawk or throh. they just wouldn't. luckily critical capture got them both

you can't find beldum in the wild. you have to breed

Braeden23000 March 29th, 2011 12:28 PM

Basculin, I was not expecting that it would be hard to catch, but I used like 17 Ultra Balls on the stupid thing and I still never caught it. Victini on the other hand, took 2 Poke Balls, not even ultra balls.

I done the same by mistake, Threw about 40 ultra balls and 20 pokeballs, ended up accidentally hitting the masterball... Fail

Citrus Knight March 29th, 2011 1:05 PM

If I used my Master Ball on something like those Pokemon I'd probably end up restarting my game :/
But right now I'm having trouble catching Kyurem :U it's so high-leveled compared to my pokemon it ends up killing them before I get a chance to use that many ultra balls.

Kalala March 29th, 2011 1:24 PM

Uhh...
None?
If anything, Pupitar :P
And even that wasn't too hard.
5 ultra ballz.
And you guys, saying Victini...
I caught it with my first Ultra ball :P

masaru3 March 29th, 2011 1:33 PM

Terrakion was kinda hard for me. Kyurem was totally easy, caught him with a quick ball on the first turn.

Spenfen April 15th, 2011 10:07 AM

It is spelled with nine letters and is found in twist mountain. Sometimes.
Cryogonal.

I probably walked around the place for five hours and encountered 500 other Pokémon before I even encountered it!

Difficult to catch? No.
Difficult to find? YES!!

The Nightmare April 15th, 2011 2:16 PM

The ones that were hard was virizion, terrakion and cobalion.

dieter57 April 15th, 2011 2:40 PM

my hardest was Kyurem. omg. he took forever to get in a premier ball.

bajram1892 April 15th, 2011 2:44 PM

Hardest Pokemon for me to catch was Kyurem. Other than the fact it took me over 30 Ultra Balls and several more Dusk Balls All of my Pokemon were around the Mid 50s and Lower so just damaging him enough was hard plus the inability to catch him.

Gothitelle. April 15th, 2011 2:47 PM

Buffolant. Srsly, those are hard tew catch.

And alsoh I culd nevur find meh a Crygonal.

Calamity April 16th, 2011 9:19 AM

The other 2 elemental monkeys, I've spent ages in pinwheel looking for them and its always Audino! O.o

skyluigi2 April 16th, 2011 9:25 AM

Cryogonal. Took about half an hour finding one, then, while trying to catch it, wiped out pretty much my whole team, so I had to keep healing my last one, and it must have took about 50 ultra balls. Seriously, what is the catch rate for them? o.O It was on red health too...

-totodile42

Pikachu-dance! April 16th, 2011 10:40 AM

Victini by far! that pokemon wasted all 40 of my ultra balls 20 of my great balls and then 1 of my timer balls grrrr

Wonder Guard April 16th, 2011 10:50 AM

^This

Finally caught one yesterday, but battery went out... Still hunting atm... :/

ponpasdejabon April 16th, 2011 11:02 AM

For me, was Basculian (Basurao)(Blue Form) xD but i get bored and flee....

Reshiram was like 2-3 Ultra balls and Gotcha! i have captured it.
Terrakion, buuuuh! it was like 10-15 ultraballs, 5-10 greatballs, 20 pokeballs, 5 duskballs, 4 quick ball (no joke) and i think i captured it with a Timer Ball
Virizion with a Quick Ball and he/she/it loved it and stayed in its pokeball. (I think if Virizion have gender, i think it was Female (100%)
Cobalion was captured (be my xD) with one Dusk Ball. Inmediatly captured!

Azure Revolver April 16th, 2011 11:26 AM

BELDUM.

Gayest **** ever. Really, try it. It has a 3 catch rate, same as almost all legendaries, and its only move is take down, so leaving it at 1 HP to have the best chance of catching it runs the high chance of it killing itself when it's able to move again. Also, it with inevitably die when it uses Take Down enough or can only struggle.

Edsbob April 16th, 2011 11:41 AM

Thundurus was the biggest Troll I had ever met.
1 HP, I put him to sleep, let him run away so I could catch him in a Quick Ball on the next encounter.

Doesn't even stay in for a second.

In the end, I think I got him and his band of merry little bridge dwellers in a Timer Ball.

morrison April 16th, 2011 1:27 PM

tornadus, got what a bi*ch. I must have wasted more than 50 balls in total .

POKE'WIN April 16th, 2011 3:04 PM

Victini, took me 42 ultra balls on 3 hp.

NamelessGuy April 16th, 2011 3:11 PM

Terrakion, thank you for completely wiping out my inventory of Ultra Balls... I managed to catch it on my VERY last one.

Doubles April 16th, 2011 3:45 PM

Thunderus of course for me I still haven't caught it once I got a watchog with mean look I did everything lowered it's health used like over 20 ultra balls and 10 timer balls in the end it killled watchog and the next time I met it used false swipe heatlh got to yellow it left next encounter Put it to sleep It still roams asleep and at yellow heatlh WTH

mikey April 16th, 2011 3:48 PM

Cobalion was a pain for some reason... even Zekrom was easier.

nate890 April 16th, 2011 4:08 PM

My hardest catch was tornadus only because it always flee. Other than that most pokemon were easy to catch!

PrinceTrase April 17th, 2011 10:11 AM

My hardest catch had to be Metang. It REFUSED to be caught! I'm not even sure how long that battle lasted, but I know I used about 30 Ultra Balls. Luckily, my Timer Ball was put into good use. I only had one.

DemonBlood93 April 17th, 2011 11:33 AM

Victini: 1 QuickBall, 25 PokeBalls, 30 GreatBalls, 15 UltraBalls, 2 HealBalls, 1 DuskBall, 3 NetBalls, & caught it with my last PokeBall.

Maggazone April 17th, 2011 3:12 PM

Mine was Victini it was in red health and paralised and it took me 156 pokeballs! Lucky I stocked up pokeballs before I went to catch it!

Vangaurd227 April 17th, 2011 5:49 PM

Victini..my first legendary on black...an unusual thing happend
i found it in that basement thingy and battled it till its hp was down to 3 and i put it to sleep but i still couldent catch it

i came back after my pokemon were a bit stronger to see if it would be any easier and the weirdest thing happend...i hit the wrong button when the battle started up and it excidently though a pokeball at it on round 1....and it caught it :D IT WAS AT FULL HP ON TH FIRST ROUND AND I CAUGHT IT WITH A POKEBALL? THATSS WIERD!!!

johnny18 April 17th, 2011 6:09 PM

in my case, it is Victini.....takes about 30x Ultra Balls to catch it.

Meinfoo April 17th, 2011 6:12 PM

Tyranitar was quite difficult to catch. It took ages, I eventually got him with a critical capture!

Rai April 17th, 2011 8:02 PM

I haven't gotten to the major legendaries yet but I had a really hard time catching a Sawk O.o I lowered its HP to almost nothing, paralyzed it, and continuously lowered its defense and it still used up all of my pokeballs to catch it.

Erufuun April 17th, 2011 8:09 PM

Well, okay, I won't give the answer of any legends because, well, they are supposed to be hard to catch!
My answer would be Darmanitan. It kept on dying because of the freaking sandstorm!! It was paralyzed, had red health, and still would not stay in the ball! So it dies... ;;

Most were pretty easy, Like for Kyurem and Zekrom I just threw ultra balls and dusks at them for awhile..And then just threw one timer ball and caught them ^_^. Victini was annoying, finally got it with a heal ball (lolz, was my last ball too) Cobalion and the Visi guy werent too much of a challenge though...I think the hardest was Thundurus. Took me an hour to find the route he was on, cuz everytime I got to the supposed "storming route" he had moved..When I finally found him, he ran, spent another 15 minutes tracking him down, and just said "screw this, master ball time!" XD.

Even though I've vowed to do a Premier Ball challenge for every Legendary I've met, it surprisingly isn't as tough as I'd imagined. o_O Albeit, it takes a few resets, but eventually the Premier Ball just manages to click its way to victory...

Critical captures always fail for me, ironically. ;_;

Anyway, with that being said, I think the toughest legendary one was Terrakion. It pretty much took the longest, but, to my recollection, I had a Fraxure or something, and False Swipe wasn't to my favor.

Otherwise, it'll have to be Volcarona. My Pokemon were severely underleveled when I met this beast, so I just relied on chucking Quick Balls and resetting when things got ugly (In other words, after the 2nd Quick Ball). It took over 10 retries, haha. xD

Oo..Volc was fun to catch! My strongest pokemon was my Sarumott, and he was only like level 60 or so, and Volc just kept KO-ing all my pokemon, until I finally got lucky ^_^.

Cobalion. False Swipe was not very affective ad Sacred Sword HUUUUURTS.
Made it go nighty night eventually lowering to 1 HP and it only went in
on my 2nd last great ball >_<.
Used:
31 Ultras
12 Greats
43 Poke ball
1 Quick ball
6 Timer Balls

Oo seems like most people are saying Victini, for me, Victini was surprisingly easy...Got it low on hp, threw great balls, then threw a timer and had it ^_^/

I think was all had trouble catching those rare Pokemon. Lol, it's the not-so-rare ones that get frustrating when hard to capture. Haha.
