Yeah, now thinking about it, Metang was rather a challenging beast to capture using only Poke Balls... But I think it was just the annoying part where False Swipe was rather ineffective on a typeset like his.

Hm...What I did with Victini was have a Watchog use Hypnosis and trickle down its HP with weak attacks.

That's actually what I did for Victini. Plus, I didn't have much to catch with. So, I found myself turning off the game and roll the dice of chance.

I ran into a Cryogonal last night and omg... it took me forever to catch it. It would always pop right out of any ball I threw, even ultra balls :x I got in eventually though.

Garringman April 21st, 2011 11:59 AM

Terrakion for me, Cobalion and Virizion went in Pokeballs simply and Zekrom was even easier to catch, but Terrakion broke my all PokeBall capture streak and forced me to use an Ultra Ball.

Nikorasu April 22nd, 2011 8:06 AM

I found Zekrom so easy to catch, I haven't tried, but I'm guessing that you have to catch him for the storyline to carry on. (If not someone reply :P)

I haven't had any difficulty yet, but only caught one of the legendaries.

Ash&pikachuarethebest April 22nd, 2011 8:11 AM

I would have to say Victini when i first played the game.

Shorty- April 22nd, 2011 11:30 AM

Kyurem was my hardest. Cant remember exactly what I ended up catching it with, but everything before him was really easy. I just stocked up on Quickballs (best thing ever). Saves me time and HP. WOOHOO! I suggest you guys try it.

Oh no metang ruined my day 1 HP paralysed he ended up killling himself with struggle! Why oh why does he have a catch rate of 3?

Metang, the most legendary of the psuedo-legendary. Seriously though, I have no idea why his catch rate is so low. XD

wtf?

Me neither? Im caught it a couple of minutes ago and im training metang,drantini,and pupitar for an epic random match up team! And metang and its its evo's are the most legendary non legendarys!

When I was fighting Landorus, I threw a Repeat Ball as a joke. I then became determined to catch him in a Repeat Ball because I thought it looked cool. It took maybe an hour. None of the other legends, nor anything else, took that long.

darkfighter April 22nd, 2011 8:12 PM

Thundurus/Tornadus...Hands down.

Rionix April 22nd, 2011 8:32 PM

The roamers are pissing me off so much. I don't want to use my masterball for it either. my only hope is a quick ball.

JadeFires April 24th, 2011 3:32 PM

Cobalion was probably the worst one for me, I ran out of ultra balls the first time, killed him the 2-4th times and got smart and used a timer ball on good ol' number 5 >>; I <3 timer balls.

Dark knight17 April 24th, 2011 3:40 PM

Metang hands down is the hardest. It took almost 50 ultra balls just to catch it and it had only 1hp. Like seriously it was just unecessary for pokemon to be that hard to catch, it did have a rash nature which is good I guess.

XAndyyX ss April 24th, 2011 10:42 PM

terrakion is the hardest for me it took me like 20 ultra balls and he didnt was the nature i wanted so i have to soft reset :S...

quilt April 25th, 2011 8:11 AM

Landorus,
The mixture of Fissure and Rockslide, just knew how to annoy me.

pkmntrainerpaul April 25th, 2011 8:16 AM

Metang for sure. Took me 30 Dusk Ball. Man, how I hate that thing >_>

Ekkophilis April 25th, 2011 9:50 PM

Kyurem for me... it took me 60 dusk balls, 21 ultra balls, 1 quick ball, 3 timer balls, 4 heal balls, 6 pokeballs, and a nest ball to catch it. I had four critical captures, it was at 1 HP and was paralyzed the entire time.

Everything else has been cake compared to it. That one battle took me almost two hours.

Sir Skids Nickelton April 26th, 2011 1:20 AM

After Lobbing A Master Ball At Tornadus (I Have Black) I Thought I'd Be Screwed Come Reshiram. Caught At Full HP In A Pokeball. Virizion Was A Pain In The Back Side Though. Had To Restart Heaps Of Times.

PikachuGuy April 26th, 2011 5:21 PM

Victini gave me the most trouble, I had to reset a few times until I caught it with a great ball. Cobalion was not hard at all, caught it with a pokeball after paralyzing it and bringing it down to 1 hp with false swipe. Virizion wasn't that hard, used the same strategy as I did with Cobalion. Terrakion wasn't too hard either, still paralyzed it, and false swiped it down to 1 hp and caught it with an ultra ball. Zekrom was easy, used 7 ultra balls. I got lucky with Kyurem, he only took 6 ultra balls to catch him. Volcarona was really hard, he took several resets to get him, I may even change my mind and say Volcarona was harder to catch than Victini. But I still have my Master ball, ready to rock n roll. I won't use it unless I ABSOLUTELY have to, been lucky so far.

Vrai April 27th, 2011 2:49 AM

I found a Dragonite while I was messing around in the water. |D

IT, HOWEVER, REFUSED TO BE CAUGHT UNTIL I HAD LIKE TWO POKéBALLS LEFT :@

XFakerX April 27th, 2011 7:22 AM

Victini, wasted all my pokeballs i had and restarted a few times. zekrom was surprisingly easy though, caught it with the first quick ball.

twistedpuppy April 27th, 2011 9:39 AM

Terrakion annoyed the hell out of me. I don't know how many balls it took, but I had to restart the game three times to catch it. It would run out moves & struggle. >_<

agentwaffle April 27th, 2011 11:50 AM

Well I found a shaky grass in the giant chasm area...and I was expecting an audino...well.
This metagross came up and decided he'd ignore everything I threw at it...99 great balls :'( only had 12 Ultras on me. He was at red, and paralyzed, then meteor mashed my last Poke'. I had a team of 4 lv 12s or under (was training them while looking for a ditto). Basically I stopped playing for a day I was so worked up.
