Mespirit. I wanted to catch it so I went to the cave and then I have to chase it, aside from the chasing, it flees every turn! I spent probably 3+ hours trying to find it, but I gave up.In the end, I caught it while I was randomly walking around.
 
Giratina first I kept knocking it out in one hit so I had to keep reloading
then nothing would catch it I eventualy got it in a Timer ball
 
Where's Beldum in all this?
Honestly! He's way harder to catch than all of the legendaries. Not only does he have a catch rate of 3, but his Take Down has low PP and causes recoil! It took me 4 hours to catch that bugger when he swarmed.
 
Giratina..I used like a million Ultra Balls to try to catch it! Either that or I just killed it....
 
Non of them were Really hard but probably Gratina was the hardest but i have a good system that works with most legendaries
Step 1. Get a high level pokemon that knows flase swipeA good Pokemon is Marowak
Step 2. Get a pokemon that knows Thunder wave
Step 3. Throw a couple of Pokeballs (any type works better it u cater to the situation) it usually takes me 10 to 30 balls and the pokemon will be yours

Cressilia was the hardest. I got it down to red on my first encounter, and whenever i fought it, it would either 1. kill my team bc i was trying not to kill it. or 2. get killed by a weedle i had ._. i used poison sting once adn that killed it! it had REALLY low health.....
Finally i just used an ultra ball on the first turn once and i got it. Giratina was also hard bc i always ended up getting critical hits with spacial rend.
 
the hardest for me was Regigigas. Damn, took me a LONG time to SR for a shiny and then catch it.


For me, I hacked my Pearl for Arceus, it is insanely easy. I ended up using a Luxury Ball on the first turn for fun, and I almost fell down to the floor when I caught it. Shiny too! :) Too bad I'm not gonna use it :(
 
Still cant catch Heatran, hvnt really bothered, though Azelf was a pain coz i couldnt get it to sleep coz of uproar or was it uxie lol.

I killed Azelf for that reason. I used Action Replay to get another shot at it.
