I've literally spent hours trying to catch these little brats, I always get them down to red, and then I run out of all types of Pokeballs trying to catch them.

And by all types I mean having these many:
15 Dusk Balls
15 Quick Balls
15 Nest balls
15 Net Balls
10 Heal Balls
20 Ultra Balls
34 Poke Balls
10 Great Balls

By all means you can say i'm unlucky, but this is just too annoying :|

Edit: None of these balls get passed the second roll thing.

It was easy catching Uxie.It took me two days to catch up to Mespirit,and I tried to catch Azelf but it got KO'd every single time I tried to catch it.So I have no idea why its so hard to catch.

It's all about luck. My friend is extremely lucky with catching, he catches many legendaries with only a few Great Balls. While they are at yellow health.
Me, on the other hand, wouldn't even dream of catching them when they aren't asleep and at 1 HP. Even then, it takes a good hour with Dusk Balls. Usually I buy about 150-200 of them for one legendary. Better to have too much than run out.

Uxie never seemed to be a problem for me, and I didn't have much of a problem with Mesprit thankfully. Azelf is the most irritating of the bunch and throughout my playthroughs of diamond and platinum he is still a major pain for some reason.

Lol.guys, it's kinda simple. If you have the time.

I have an EV'd Gengar specially for the job, as the only attacks it's vulnerable to are confusion and future sight.It's like this:

Gengar @ Leftovers
????????(doesn't matter)
252 SpD / 252 Hp / 4 Def
Mean Look
Shadow Ball
-
-

It's immune to Azelf's pesky uproar, can trap mesprit, has a supereffective move on them......

of course, if spiritomb has mean look, that's the best

Just wheedle them down to a sliver of health, inflict sleep/paralysis/etc and you should be good.
It might take a while, but just be sure to save first.
They have a lower Capture Rate. It's because they're ~*legendary*~ pokemon! They're not supposed to be easy XD;
