For me it was Mesprit. It took me a very long time.

I used my friends action replay to get 999 Master Balls. So they were all equally easy.

I have no patience for catching legendary Pokemon.

It was supposed to be Azelf, but since Azelf is not included in the poll, I voted Giratina. Giratina is the my second hardest to catch even if I use Dusk Ball. He had a this 1 hit KO attack [Shadow Force, I guess]. So I was forced to use my Master Ball. -.-

Haven't caught all the legendaries yet but I'd say Giratina which I used my master ball on...the fog kept pissing me off.

Yeah, there definitely wasn't any fog around Giratina. o.O
For me, it had to be Mesprit (out of those 5 choices). Seeing that Palkia / Dialga have a catch rate 15 times higher than the other three, they're definitely not the hardest. Heatran I caught with a Master Ball (I wanted to use it competitively, so I had no patience to actually 'try' to catch one and check Nature/IVs/Hidden Power). Giratina wasn't too tough, just annoying, but finding, trapping, and catching Mesprit; that took effort.

Giratina was easy-peasy. One Quick Ball did the trick.
Heatran was stalled while throwing Timers.
Dialga uhh... Pokéball at yellow.
Cresselia was surprisingly easy. I managed to do it with a Quick Ball, 3rd encounter, yellow health. Traded it away, though.
Mesprit is annoying. Not caught yet; 8th encounter. -_-

i think it's one of the best things in pokemon games.

anyway, i caught dialga with 2 pokeballs and heatran i used 10 duskballs or something and giratina was'nt too hard to catch. i never tried to run up mespirit so him i guess it would be.

Heatran was frustrating I remember, I think I used a master ball on Mesprit out of annoyance.

I didn't have too much trouble on any of those (Uxie hated Ultra Balls DX), but I remember Giratina giving me plenty o' problems.

Mesprit was the hardest one to capture. The fact that it can run away from battle makes it a daunting foe.
good thing you can easily catch it with a masterball.

I reckon the hardest to catch was Dialga. Lol, jk, it was obnoxiously EASY to catch. :P

Tbh, I reckon the hardest was Giratina. I took 30-something ultraballs to catch it after weakening and paralyzing it :P

I wasted my Master Ball on Dialga, because I was going to trade with a friend, and I was at a point where I couldn't leave, so I just used it to speed up the process.

As far as hardest to catch, I'd have to say Mesprit. I'm trying to use Mean Look with Crobat to keep him in battle, but I haven't run across him yet. As far as Heatran goes, back on my old game, I caught him really easily. One hit with Surf from one of my pokemon got him in red, and then I put him to sleep with Yawn. I think I only used about 12 Ultra Balls, maybe less.
