The three pixies xD
I only attempted to catch all three the first time I played Diamond.
It took me soooo many tries to catch Azelf. Then, I went to my boyfriends (ex now xD) house, and I brought Diamond I guess xD And he caught Azelf on his first try. (Dusk Ball) I fell off the couch when I saw o____o

The hardest for me was Giratina and Heatran
I had to turn off the power of my game and on again several times before i caught Heatran and the same for Giratina
For catching Diagla, i just used around 15-25 ultra balls and caught it.

legendaries that run when you encounter them if you don't have a masterball. They are a pain. Especially the ones you have to wait for them to appear before you see them.

Those damn fairy things -.- (Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie) idk why Mesprit is only one up there. Azelf was the hardest because even after anti-flee, it used uproar so it wouldn't go to sleepz. Dialga, Heatran, Palkia went into mah pocket ezpz :P

Cresslia and Mesprit were hard until I got Wobbuffet. I just had him at level 50 and mirror coated them both unitl there energy was low then Ultra balled them. It took me awhile to catch up to Mesprit though, like 7 times. After I got the Wobbuffet, the first Ultra Ball I threw catch it. The Cresslia took a couple of tries once I got the Wobbuffet it was easy after that.

Hmm..
In the DP? That'd have to be Rotom. I don't catch that many pokemon during game, and all of them we very high leveled, and pokeballs wouldn't work, and I forgot my sleep inducings/paralysers. I finally nabbed him with a great ball after many tries.

It was said by the creator of this Post that even though all the legendaries aren't up there u can still name the pokemon u want that was hardest for u to catch...but I agree the three beings of different characteristics were VERY hard to catch...

Mesprit for me. Wasted 32 ultra balls and finally just decided to use one of my Master Balls.

Woah, it took me one Ultra Ball to catch Azelf. I thought it was pretty easy. It was easier than catching other wild pokemon.

Anywoot, the hardest Pokemon for me to catch, so far (because I haven't finished the game yet >.<) is Uxie. It took me 45-60 minutes, 35 ultra balls, and 30+ dusk balls to capture that stupid little yellow pixie.

I thought Mesprit was hard to catch but only because she runs. Once I got a Crobat with mean look I had no problem with her though. No one else gave me too much of a problem.

I had a harder time trying to catch a beldum than I did with most of the legendaries. It kept killing itself. :(

Cresselia was the hardest really, since it ran away, everytime you met it.

although the hardest guy to get was ho-oh through Colosseum, even if you don't catch him... :\
it takes like 30 or 40 hours to get the guy, with all the stuff you have to do

as for the fairies, I caught one of them at full health with a premier ball (very useless pokeball)... >.> so yeah... :P
caught Dialga with a great ball..

None of them were really that hard...I got Mespirit second shot and used my master ball on Cresselia. As for the other three, I usually got them first or second shot with ultra balls anyway. They weren't that hard!

For me it was heatran. I kept throwing ultra balls and pokeballs, and it was very hard for me to capture it because I had no good water type on my team. At the end, I fianally caught it.

Heatran.

Darn that Heatran!
I wiped out 3 times and used up all my Pokeballs 2 times before I gave up,and fainted him.

..Someone traded me a female Heatran some time ago,which I released.

for me it was mesprit and cresselia. wasted about 200k pokedollars on balls. ended up importing a lvl80 magneton from my emerald so i could outspeed + paralyze em, and get my bronzong to block them. even then it took about 10 tries.

heatran was by far my easiest, one surf + one dusk ball. i almost fell off my bed when that happened.
