4th Gen Hardest legendary to catch?

[Intuition]

Uxie is being a pain in the ass.. even though it's night and I'm using Dust Balls xD

 

[Sweet Candace]

For me it was Uxie. No matter how many Ultra Balls and Dusk Balls I threw, the stupid thing kept popping out. Espically right before the Poke Ball locks for a successful capture. That happened so many times to me I decided to get one from my friend instead.

 

[kevinkjb81]

Azelf. It kept useing Nasty Plot on me so its attack was so high it would ko my LV 50 Infernape with Swift. Seriously.

 

[Burzes]

I've gotten Mesprit near down to half health, I throw a quick ball, Ultra, or a heal ball. When it breaks out, It flees. The next time I encounter it, I'll have a master ball thanks to my Pokemon Emerald.

 

[Sebastien Loeb]

According to the legendary one more difficult to capture it is Regigigas.

 

[Blaziquaza]

For me right now Uxie.IN fact,I'm trying to catch it waiting for other pages of the site to come up.

 

[AmazingPiplup]

Giratina for sure. It's the only legendary in Platinum I used a masterball on. I caught all the roamings in Quick balls (I let them roam around so they wouldn't run out of PP) when I slowly got them all down to one HP with false swipe and to sleep. I caught heatran with a lot of luck, I was wasting some ultra balls on it so I could use a timer ball, and what do you know one caught it! Dialga wasn't the easiest for me to catch, it was being mean. :P But I caught Palkia in a Quick ball.

 

[NoMasterBallsNeeded4Legends]

out of those legends, heateran, but overall, its mewtwo and latias

 

[nightwish]

I am sure most of you have had a hard time catching a legendary pokemon in Diamond, Pearl and/or Platinum. Which one was the hardest one for you to catch?

I would have to say Giratina and Mesprit. Giratina was pretty strong for me to handle, and Mesprit just kept moving all over the place.

i would say asseas, ho ho, and shadow lugia

 

[.little monster]

Giratina by a long shot. I was trying to catch it for two hours yesterday in Pearl. It was False Swiped completely, paralyzed, and I was using Dusk Balls. Oh Giratina, you're silly.

 

["Shadow Lugia"]

Any of the roaming Pokemon. Take the pain that is a normal legendary battle and add the Pokemon fleeing after one turn and having to search for it again and again and again...

 

[Pyrax]

Azelf, I had like 1 ultra ball left.
And of course the roaming pokémon.

 

[Elena]

Giratina.
Fillllllllllllller

 

[Skitty19]

It really depends. Mesprite was awful on both my Diamond and my Platinum, but on the latter it took three very long time to catch. Personally, they were both pretty bad if you ask me!

 

[AuburnTigers]

Azelf ftw, giratina only took 30 ultra balls, 5 dusk balls, and 1 timer ball. If you ask me giratina was easy money

 

[SparklingMistral]

The lake Pokémon, Cresselia, & Heatran. They were the Pokémon I used the most Ultra Balls & various other types of PokéBalls on. D:

 

[JaggedMan]

I really hate Mesprit... It took me about 68 tries to catch it. And Cresselia took me about 15 tries. Those were the hardest for me.

 

[JoltIce]

Mesprit, just because it was a roaming Pokemon

And Giratina in Diamond, it took so many Ultra Balls to get that thing.

 

[whodathunk]

wasn't even a legendary. took 10 dusk balls, 13 timer balls and 20 ultras to get a steelix

 

[Pikachuuu]

the hardest on my diamond are heatran, giratina, cressilia(i took like 20 times to catch cressialia, heatran like 8 times and giratina 2 times but i caught it after 50 dusk balls) alot people said that azelf was difficult but i think it was easy cos i used 1 quick ball and CAPTURE
