Pokémon Pokemon you find impossible to catch

[Midoriya]

Catching Mewtwo in Heartgold with a pokeball while it's paralyzed. I ended up using great balls cause I ran out...
At least I caught it though! x)

Omg yes, Mewtwo was so freaking hard to catch in HG/SS, probably even more so than in XY :/

In DP I thought catching Tyrouge was impossible to catch, still havnt caught one because of how ugly they are.

It's not, it's just it only appears in certain places. And I personally like the guy. He can evolve into any three of Fighting types based on his stats at a certain level.

Yeah I agree, that's the only thing I like about him, I just think his design is ugly IMO .-.

Yeah tbh it looks like a four year old designed him LOL

I spent a ridiculous amount of time last night throwing balls at a Dugtrio in the Lumiose badlands. They're everywhere, but for some reason this guy was asleep at 1 HP and still took around 20 balls to catch... I ran out of Great balls and ended up using Pokeballs, Nest Balls, Dive Balls...whatever I had. It became a matter of principle, but in the end I got that sucker.

Wonder Traded him because his ability wasn't what I wanted.

Lol, that's an unfortunate happening of bad luck. And in the end he wasn't even the one you wanted, XD

Chatot for some reason. Paralyzed and 2 health and an ultra ball is still no go.

XD, that is ridiculous. How could a Chatot escape that....

KYUREM, MY WORST ENEMY. I remember 3 years ago I spent my whole outside time in after-school trying to catch it.

Kyurem is so, so, so hard to catch. I completely sympathize. :/

 

[TykiButterfree]

It always takes me more Pokeballs/ Great Balls, etc than it should to catch a Skarmory. Why are they so evil? It doesn't help that they are also uncommon compared to the Spinda invasion. lol

Also in Emerald, I wanted Rayquaza to help me beat the elite four so I wouldn't have to level grind so much. My party was 30 levels lower than it and it took me 14 battles to catch it. I remember that attempt 13 was totally unlucky. It outrage ko'ed all of my Pok?mon in 1 hit and it never hit itself once in confusion.

 

[Knopekin]

Definitely Metang. It's funny so many people are talking about how hard Kyurem is, because in both both my best friend and I have been to the Giant Chasm to get Kyurem, ran into a Metang on the way and used up about 60 Ultra Balls getting it, going to find Kyurem anyway (with only a handful of Pokeballs) and catching it without much trouble.


Skarmory, too. Steel-types, brr.

 

[Midoriya]

Looks like most steel types are hard to catch.

I think the worst luck I've had was with the lake guardians in Pearl. Even though I got one of them down to one percent, probably with some sort of status, I couldn't catch it. I ended up fleeing the battle, and I think it didn't come back for a while. :/

Also, for whatever reason, I was completely unable to catch a Relicanth as a kid.

The Emotion Trio were hard af to catch. I never even did in my initial run of Pokemon Diamond when I first started Pokemon. :/

I'm not going through the entire thread to see if this pokemon is listed, so I dunno if it's been mentioned or not.

But, I run nuzlockes often, and when I did runs of X/Y...if Chatot appears outside Shalour City (Route 12), forget it.

The thing has a capture rate of 30% (which is lower than Xerneas, btw), but it feels even lower. I'll get its HP down to the red, and use the best pokeballs I have at the time, and it'll still bust out. I lost out on a capture on that route on two separate nuzlockes because I ran out of pokeballs, great balls, premier balls...everything I had just trying to catch that gosh-darn Chatot.

Is Chatot even worth it??? XD....

Last night I couldn't catch a MURKROW WITH 60 POK?BALLS and then I proceeded to catch deoxys in 3 balls. /).-)

XD, that's hilarious. A Murkrow took 20 times as many balls as an ultimate legendary LOL...
