5th Gen Hardest B/W Pokemon to Catch?

tornadus, got what a bi*ch. I must have wasted more than 50 balls in total .
 
Victini, took me 42 ultra balls on 3 hp.
 
Terrakion, thank you for completely wiping out my inventory of Ultra Balls... I managed to catch it on my VERY last one.
 
Thunderus of course for me I still haven't caught it once I got a watchog with mean look I did everything lowered it's health used like over 20 ultra balls and 10 timer balls in the end it killled watchog and the next time I met it used false swipe heatlh got to yellow it left next encounter Put it to sleep It still roams asleep and at yellow heatlh WTH
 
My hardest catch had to be Metang. It REFUSED to be caught! I'm not even sure how long that battle lasted, but I know I used about 30 Ultra Balls. Luckily, my Timer Ball was put into good use. I only had one.
 
Victini: 1 QuickBall, 25 PokeBalls, 30 GreatBalls, 15 UltraBalls, 2 HealBalls, 1 DuskBall, 3 NetBalls, & caught it with my last PokeBall.
 
Mine was Victini it was in red health and paralised and it took me 156 pokeballs! Lucky I stocked up pokeballs before I went to catch it!
 
Victini..my first legendary on black...an unusual thing happend
i found it in that basement thingy and battled it till its hp was down to 3 and i put it to sleep but i still couldent catch it

i came back after my pokemon were a bit stronger to see if it would be any easier and the weirdest thing happend...i hit the wrong button when the battle started up and it excidently though a pokeball at it on round 1....and it caught it :D IT WAS AT FULL HP ON TH FIRST ROUND AND I CAUGHT IT WITH A POKEBALL? THATSS WIERD!!!
 
I haven't gotten to the major legendaries yet but I had a really hard time catching a Sawk O.o I lowered its HP to almost nothing, paralyzed it, and continuously lowered its defense and it still used up all of my pokeballs to catch it.
 
Well, okay, I won't give the answer of any legends because, well, they are supposed to be hard to catch!
My answer would be Darmanitan. It kept on dying because of the freaking sandstorm!! It was paralyzed, had red health, and still would not stay in the ball! So it dies... ;;
 
Most were pretty easy, Like for Kyurem and Zekrom I just threw ultra balls and dusks at them for awhile..And then just threw one timer ball and caught them ^_^. Victini was annoying, finally got it with a heal ball (lolz, was my last ball too) Cobalion and the Visi guy werent too much of a challenge though...I think the hardest was Thundurus. Took me an hour to find the route he was on, cuz everytime I got to the supposed "storming route" he had moved..When I finally found him, he ran, spent another 15 minutes tracking him down, and just said "screw this, master ball time!" XD.

Even though I've vowed to do a Premier Ball challenge for every Legendary I've met, it surprisingly isn't as tough as I'd imagined. o_O Albeit, it takes a few resets, but eventually the Premier Ball just manages to click its way to victory...

Critical captures always fail for me, ironically. ;_;

Anyway, with that being said, I think the toughest legendary one was Terrakion. It pretty much took the longest, but, to my recollection, I had a Fraxure or something, and False Swipe wasn't to my favor.

Otherwise, it'll have to be Volcarona. My Pokemon were severely underleveled when I met this beast, so I just relied on chucking Quick Balls and resetting when things got ugly (In other words, after the 2nd Quick Ball). It took over 10 retries, haha. xD
 
Oo..Volc was fun to catch! My strongest pokemon was my Sarumott, and he was only like level 60 or so, and Volc just kept KO-ing all my pokemon, until I finally got lucky ^_^.
 
Cobalion. False Swipe was not very affective ad Sacred Sword HUUUUURTS.
Made it go nighty night eventually lowering to 1 HP and it only went in
on my 2nd last great ball >_<.
Used:
31 Ultras
12 Greats
43 Poke ball
1 Quick ball
6 Timer Balls
 
Oo seems like most people are saying Victini, for me, Victini was surprisingly easy...Got it low on hp, threw great balls, then threw a timer and had it ^_^/
 
I think was all had trouble catching those rare Pokemon. Lol, it's the not-so-rare ones that get frustrating when hard to capture. Haha.
