5th Gen Hardest B/W Pokemon to Catch?

To be honest, NONE of them were a pain. I'm pretty proud of myself to say this, but I've caught EVERY Pokemon with a Pokeball. Yes, that includes Zekrom, Cobalion, the other two, Kyurem, and Volcarona. You're probably thinking that I must've stood there all day, but actually, I caught the majority of them with on 1HP, and it was Volcarona and Kyurem I paralyzed. If I had to choose one, though, it'd be the ground counterpart to Cobalian (forgot his name). Out of 56 Pokeballs, I used around 45. D=
 
I've been told that Victini is the hardest to catch out of any Pokemon in the game. Sometimes it takes about 15 ultra balls just to get it.
 
I caught Cobalion on the first try, it was Victini and Virision that gave me problems. I used a quick ball on Kyurem and got it on the first try.
But the Sawk I ran into...damn did that thing ever fight. Metang's/Metagros are hard to catch to.
 
Aaarghh... that.. wandering... thundercloud...dude...person. I waited at a route he never went to for like an hour. I was sad.
 
Victini was a pain. Took over 40 pokeballs to catch.

(Yes. I one of those people who only use pokeballs.)
 
SIGILYPH.

That thing was so frustrating. First off, its one of the rarer pokemon in the desert resort, with only a ten percent chance of appearing. It took my like half an hour to find one. Finally, when i did find one, i put my game face on. I got it down to yellow and tossed a pokeball at it. No luck. Tossed another one, then a great ball. Nope. Even used two ultra balls. By this time, it was in the red due to the sandstorm. Thats when i really started to panic. I threw one of my three timer balls at it, and it escaped. Thats when i thought i had lost it. But it remained alive, with only a sliver of hp left. I flung one more timer ball, praying i would catch it. And finally, Sigilyph was mine.

>:)
 
I tried and found that Karrablast is the hardest one... Sleep + 1 HP (False Swipe spam o_O) + 15 great balls
X_X
Btw, I think it simply bases on luck :P
 
Mine was definitely Kyurem
It kept killing and killing my Pokemon and it just won't get into the ball!

Yeah! Me too! (Except for Zekrom, 'cause he's special.)

I was gonna say Zekrom, but I caught him with only 1 Premier Ball. =P
Victini was easy...

I guess I'm gonna have to explore more, 'cause nothing seems hard to capture yet.

Victini..That little thing is such a pain..1 hp(endure) + sleep ...still took 8 tries and 50+ ultra balls to catch...But it was worth it ;)
 
What about Volcarona people?? The thing is at Level 70, Has Quiver dance, the thing will most likely take our your team before ya catch it! (Kinda like Azelf in Gen IV.)
 
I keep hearing on how easy it is to get Kyurem. I need to go catch this guy.

I haven't tried the legendaries yet but for some reason I had trouble catching a throh lmao
 
Im pretty sure Cobalion has the lowest catch rate in the game because it took over 10 dusk balls AFTER 20+ ultra balls and the initial quick ball when he had 1 HP with paralysis

I caught Cobalion, after like 3 Ultra balls. It wasn't even in red HP or anything. :/


[PokeCommunity.com] Hardest B/W Pokemon to Catch?

Now, Virizion on the other hand, was a nightmare to catch. It died from W-o-W damage 3-4 times, and I accidentally Ko'd it a few times myself. All in all, I went through nearly 30 Ultra Balls and an hour or so trying get the damn thing. @_@
 
Victini was by far the hardest for me, i used 24 pokeballs,28 great balls, 12 timer balls, and 30 ultra. i saved my game before trying to catch it and i had to restart my game 3 times, cause i ran out of pokeballs!
 
Mine was Kyurem (so far anyways). Took SO many retries cause it just kept struggling to death after a while. I haven't tried Victini yet (although it is apparently hard from what my friends say). Cobalion was pretty easy (2-3 Ultra Balls?), and I got a Crit Cap on Zekrom with an Ultra Ball.
 
Victini by far. If it wasn't for me saving in front of it, it would have gotten out of my grasp 10 times or more. I think I reset the game after failed attempts like 7 times. I had like 30 Pokeballs [not just basic ones] on hand, that little bugger in yellow-red HP, and it absolutely refused to stay in the ball ; no matter what kind I threw. At some points it was even asleep thanks to Sleep Powder from my Petilil, but it was not happening. I was about to give up until I threw my last freakin' Great Ball at the flaming bunny, and all of a sudden -- click. It decided to be caught on the 7th time I reset in the final Pokeball.

Overall, it took an hour and a half to capture. ]:

For me it would actually have to be Meinshao, I found a level 59 on the route next to white city, even after I got it's HP to red, it still took all my Ultra balls (around 30), and then once they were all gone I used a Great ball and it worked, first one. ;.;
