  • Giratina. I must've used at least fifty Ultra balls. The darn thing wouldn't let me catch it. I did finally catch it on my last Ultra ball, though.

  • It may be strange, but it is the 3 regi's in platinum.
    I took me like 50 balls each or more.

  • On Diamond it was Cresselia, it took a while to find, and a lot of quick balls & dusk.

    Platinum its was Heatran, 1st I forgot the thing had flash fire an flamethrowered it so it lava plumed and killed a lot of my pokemon. 2nd it just wouldn't stay in a friggin' poke ball (dusk actually) but I eventually caught it, thank goodness.

    I honestly hate all of the legendaries that you have to chase all over creation. I didn't like getting to Giratina, though, either.

    Heatran I never bothered with.

    lol the weirdest thing was
    that in pearl version giratinia was harder to catch
    then in platinum
    i caught giratinia with my altiria
    used sing then giritinia fell asleep
    i switched with my sceptile
    and used false swipe until it had 1hp left
    then i threw a ultra ball and caught it !!!
    i was very supprized

    I really had not much trouble with the legendaries in generation IV, but I guess the most troublesome had to be Giratina. Heatran took me about 5 Ultra balls, Mespirit went in with a single throw, Uxie and Azelf took under 10 balls each. Cresselia was also a single ball wonder.

    I have yet to face Regigigas, but i remember the horrible memories fighting the Regis in R/S/E, thank goodness for Timer balls.

    False Swipe & Thunder Wave are usually the easiest combo for me to pull off, but sometimes sleep can be better because it prevents the legendary from using moves for a while, sparing time.

  • For me in Diamond, the hardest to catch was Hetran. It took so many tries before I finally caught it, and each attempt took a really long time (usually taking so long that it used Struggle and KO'd itself XD).

    False Swipe is a normal move so it doesn't affect Ghost types like Giratina
