    Spearow are really hard to catch for me. Every time I try I use at least 5 Pokeballs. Also, recently, I caught a Seaking that was double my already caught Pokemon's CP so that was pretty hard too

    For me It is a Mankey. Every time I see one, it fights me even most are good throws. Now I know how Ash felt when he caught his Mankey lol

    Snorlax. Zubat at least seems to be more about aim and less about catch rate so once I get the right aim I've got him. Snorlax just did not want to stay in.

    Mine was Zubat. Like omg... I wasted so many pokeballs catching one! My second was Growlithe, but I kind of blame that on the wonky servers lately. :c In the end, the servers ended up making me miss out on getting it. ;____;

    So, what has been your hardest catch so far?
    I just got him and I have to agree that it was the most difficult to catch. It darted around flying and flapping its wings. Craziness.

    Man I think I'll change my mind Bulbasaur was really hard to catch he got out plenty of times. Other than that I caught all 3 starters today so I was really happy.

    Well, I had caught a Scyther, and then the server froze on me and didn't let me keep it. I restarted the app, and then I found another Scyther, but it quickly ran away.

    The hardest one to catch that I actually still have was my Venusaur.

    I haven't had trouble catching too many Pokemon except one which ended up running, a friggin Kingler.

    It attacked me while I was on the crapper. I used 3 Razz Berries and 7 Great Balls. Still ran.

    Edit:mfw just had the same happen with a cp805 Nidorina ;_;

    I guess Zubat, I used about 6 or 7 pokeballs and unfortunately when it finally did hit the pokemon it was one of the 50% freeze ones so didn't actually get it.


    The only Magikarp I found broke out of the ball and fled. Actually I had like 6 different pokemon break out and flee in a row, including Weedle, Pidgey and other pokemon that usually catch 100% of the time.

    Do escaped PKMN count? I used a ton of balls on a Bulbasaur right outside my house and it wound up running off anyway. I don't think I'd lost any before that, so I count it as a hard catch.

    My hardest catch was a level 600+ Jynx earlier today. She took over 10 berries, 20+ great balls and a lot of missed Pokémon at the nearby lure, but boy was she worth it. I think. I mean I haven't used her but... she's kind of rare? :D

    Definitely the Zubat, I was just learning the game and I think I wasted 30 pokeballs on that sucker.
