    What pokemon do you use to catch those 'hard to get' pokemon?!

    I perfer my Parasect with Spore and Falswipe!
     
    i use any pokemon with dragon rage because it takes 40 hp exactly.
    its good for those medium leveled and also if you can use thunder wave
     
    I usually use my in-game team to catch those hard pokemon. It's helpful. :)
     
    Parasect, huh? Good idea. I need to look into that. I used my ingame team to catch Uxie, Azelf and Giratina but I'm going to need something bigger to get the birds, Regis and Dialga and Palkia.
     
    My technique is using a good fast pokemon to knock my pokemon out in deep slumber, then I'll follow it up with False Swipes. To do this I usually use a pokemon like Gengar to put them asleep, then I switch into Zangoose to False Swipe it.
     
    Hmm since i didn't reach that far in platinum, it will probably be my ingame roserade. the easiest way is to get them to red and then inflict a status (it won't take 5 turns unless your team is level 50s) lets caculate. lets say, three turns passed. its on red and prlzd. quick ball would be the way to go. unless its a cave so dusk balls would be better after 5 turns..
     
    Meh. Normally I'll just paralyze them with Jolteon or put them to Sleep with Gengar, and then lower their health.
     
    I ARed an awesome catching Mew.

    252 EVs in ATK and Speed, Adamant nature.

    False Swipe
    Thunder Wave
    Spore
    Fly

    False Swipe for getting Pokemon down to 1 HP, TWave for faster Pokemon, Spore for fun-ness, Fly for obvious use.
     
    I just keep throwing balls at the pokemon untill I run out or my pokemon faint. When that happens I just soft reset it and start all over again :D
    I did that with a Mewtwo on FR and I SR and the first ball I chucked, I caught it! :D
    Plus you might come across a shiny legendary while doing it this way :P
     
    If I'm bored I use my Lvl 100 Chikorita.

    Otherwise I go with anything with false swipe.
