I'm not sure if there's any that are like, super rare, not like Feebas in RSE -shudder- So a lot of this will probably just be anecdotal.

But with that said, the Pokemon that I've had the hardest time finding is Mawile. I'm not even sure if it's like, really rare or anything, but I've only run into one throughout the entire game (which I caught. Woot!). Also, Hydreigon is pretty rare. I didn't even know you could run into it in the wild at first, then one swooped down on me on victory road xD

Pidgey??? Rarest out of this entire game? *laughs* no.

I'd personally say Heatmor. Nobody even knows it exists and is a very rare encounter in route 18 in which you can skip the grass fairly often.

lol, are you fail-trolling?

you're kidding right? Pidgey is scripted as the first wild encounter in X & Y, as soon as you walk into the very 1st patch of grass in X&Y, the very first Pokemon is Pidgey, and that's on Route 2.

Also Pidgey would be easier/faster to spawn on Route 2 than 3, as there's less Wild Pokemon on that route than the next.

Hearmor is only in Horde Encounters on Route 18.. and that's really easy to trigger.

Use an oddish or any Pokemon that knows Sweet Scent (use it the same as you'd use HM Fly) and it triggers a Horde Battle and Viola! 5 Heatmors.

Yeah, Mawile seems to be rare. I've been looking for one but haven't come across one yet. Dunsparce is probably rare, it seems to be rare in a lot of games. xD

Mawile is a rare spawn in the glittering cave but can easily be obtained in vast quantities from a friend safari.

and dunsparce isn't rare i think? it's easily gotten in the flowers near the entrance for Cave of Emptiness, at least that's where i remember i got mine.

I would say right now, the rarest Pokémon is a legit Mew, or a shiny legit Mew if that Is even possible. The last distribution for Mew was in 2010 if I remember correctly. Every other legendary are either catchable in specific versions or have had a distribution event more recently than the Mew event.

I had to give up on Kangashkhan and just trade for it. I spent hours trying to get my hands on one of those guys.

Other than that I haven't had too much trouble getting the pokes that I wanted/needed.

i'd say the 3 event legendaries that haven't been available in any game yet are the rarest

I'd say Burmy and Dedenne for me. It took me forever to find a Burmy in the beginning of the game and it took me almost an hour of grinding my Yanma to actually see a Dedenne. I had actually forgotten they were on that route.

Politoed with the super rod. Found two but it uses perish song, so i use my haxorus's false swipe to take it down and use two ultra balls, got it done after the fith politoed, but i caught one adamant in friend safari (poliwhirl) and evolved it to politoed, stillwanted to super rod one though :-)

Late reply, however Arbok is only found in Hordes on Route 19.

Just have a sweet scenter in your party, such as Oddish, and use Sweet Scent (same way as you'd use HM Fly) and it will trigger a horde battle. keep doing that until you encounter Arboks :P They are the rare spawn in the yellow flowers, but they should show up eventually.

Taillow for me...four and a half hours of using sweet scent and not a single horde of them. GTS'd it in the end then breed a box worth to make it feel worthwhile

any pokemon in the GTS cause a lot of people apparently believe that their magicarps are worth a legendary

jokes aside, I personally found it difficult to get hold of rattata, meowth, slakoth and unown. Especially the unown, cause I had trade a porygon z for one.

It's really tough to declare a "rarest Pokemon" of X/Y because of the subjective nature of "rarity".

Legendaries don't seem so legendary when they're such an integral part of the story, requiring the player to catch the only one offered within each game. Not counting promo pokemon, my two hardest to find were: I struggled with finding a Starly hoard for hours, along with Cryogonal in Frost Cave.

I had a similar situation to Fana where I KO'd the first couple Cyrogonals I came across during story play, thinking I'd be able to find it elsewhere in the game (or at least assuming that they wouldn't be so rare). Then I spent at least a solid hour searching for it while trying to complete my Kalos dex. Rarest? Not likely, but still very rare.
