God, it's taking forever. Isn't its line is the hardest one to catch or something?

IIRC its catch rate is the same as your typical hard-to-catch legendary pokemon


You're much better off just importing the Beldum from RSE

I'm sure you could just get one off GTS if you don't care about actually catching it yourself.

There are easy to catch legendaries?

Regardless, my GBA is dead and I don't know where my copy of Ruby is...so I can't do that. I'll try to keep going until I run out of BALLS.

Some (Especially Gen V ones iirc) have catch rates of 45

Making them a full fifteen times easier to catch

Palkia, Dialga, Reshiram and Zekrom, I think those are the easy ones.

Some are just absurdly easy. IIRC you can catch Dialga and Palkia without even hurting them with Ultra Balls.

EDIT: Oh, and Regigigas obviously...

That's pretty crazy.
By the way, I only have 3 timer balls and the Master Ball left. What should I use the Master Ball on in Black/White?

It's probably best to use the Master Ball on the roaming legendary (Tornadus/Thundurus)

Either Tornadus/Thundurus (roamer) or save it forever in case you encounter a weird shiny that can kill itself or run away (lol Abra, Geodude, etc).

I still remember my brother catching Groudon with a single poke ball on turn 1. I think something similar happened with Rayquaza.

Yes, I laugh at my own jokes.

Metang is nothing


the reason the line is incredibly hard to catch is because of Beldum

catching Beldum is the most frustrating thing in the universe


it's a level 3 catch rate on a pokemon who's only move is Take Down

Be glad Metang doesn't have takedown.

I got lucky catching mine. Kyurem on the other hand...

The fact that you have to plan ahead to catch it shows how hard it is.

To be fair, I have a Gallade that I use for all the roamers, which fits in perfectly if I just happen to have a ghost in the party.

False Swipe
Hypnosis
Thunder Wave
Mean Look

That explains why HG/SS Safari Zone is like torture. I've literally spent around 15 hours trying to catch one with no success -_-

Hey, I've never connected to the internet with my Wii anyway. It's easier this way. But I appreciate the offer.

I prepared an attack package for Metang in Platinum - my Giratina with Thunder Wave and False Swipe.

It didn't kill itself because of Take Down.

Yeah, neither did mine.

Unless you're implying that it killed itself because of something else?

Yeah, but it's not like I want any legendary that bad. I'd take a Gardevoir over any of them any day.

Seriously though, I'm standing by Poliwrath being the most infuriating catch of all this gen.

It is so not worth the stone you'd save by not simply evolving one.

The hardest Pokemon to catch in Black for me was, surprisingly, Delibird. I have no idea why, but that guy would just never appear, and he never stayed in a ball for some reason.

Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu

I actually fished a Lv. 54 Poliwag and evolved it all the way to Poliwrath...before I learned that apparently there are wild Poliwraths around.

Delibird...I ran into one earlier but my Stoutland killed it. I just can't predict how much damage my Pokemon inflict.
