- Today I go over the Top 10 HARDEST Pokemon To Catch in Scarlet and Violet. With how many times I've had a level 20 Pokemon bust out of an Ultra Ball this generation, I knew I had to look into why some Pokemon are so hard to catch this time around!

Slakoth absolutely should have been in this list, absolute nightmare to find
I found loads of Vigoroth and at least one Slaking but still never found a Slakoth
@@restlessdreams17 I found slakoth kinda like indeedee. found in a small out-of-the-way portion of the map.
I don't even want to think about slakoth, spent hours looking for it before saying screw it and breeding for one
Yeah I just bred for one right off the bat screw looking for it lol. Didn’t realize others had trouble to
Slakoth can be found when you run your mount into a tree. Same as Applin
The flamigo is definitely a surprise for me since I found it before the 2nd town and was a very easy catch for me
Same. I was like that’s the 5th Pokémon I caught
@@nicksmith128 it nearly destroyed my early team.
same, i caught it like second pokeball before i even went to mesagoza
I found it before attending school
I don’t know why flamigo’s sooo hard to catch for others, I caught one when I got scarlet, wasn’t my first catch, I personally ran into pokemon from other gens & other regions, but I guess that’s just my luck 😅
Having completed the dex for these games I can safely say that the hardest for me to catch we're the flipping tiny first evolutions of certain Pokémon. Pichu, petlil (I think, or whatever else is close) and flapple were all difficult. What made it worse tho is I found them all in droves after I was done.
Also for anyone who lives under a rock and maybe doesn't know, quick balls make any Pokémon a cakewalk to catch in these games.
well any save Zorua & Ditto, those two will absolutely disappear if you leave combat with them.
I was almost convinced wild Petilil was a myth. Took me a full day to find just one as many of the places they would spawn were Flabebe instead.
I have a personal vendetta against Flapple ever since Shield lol
@@jamestm316 what did Flapple do to you in Shield? Flapple was in Sword, Appletun was in Shield >.>
Quick ball = OP
Top Pokémon where you Mash B like Purplecliffe
Bbbbbbbb
B!!! 1 shake, 2 shakes, 3 shakes, Boom
Jack: B BUTTON BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB John: Pokémen7 guarantee
It is guaranteed 90%
LMFAOOOOOO
For Bombirdier & Orthworm, if you finish all the titan quests, they'll be available with their former Titan Marks AND 30 EVs across the board plus they're just a button press away, but don't faint them since they're one time spawns.
Same with Great Tusk/Iron Treads and Tatsoguiri, but I can’t confirm if the false water titan has 30 Ivs across the board
Lindworm?
I got that Bombirdier and Great Tusk for my Team.
wym that they're just a button press away?
Wait...their ALL that easy?
I thought I just got lucky with my Quick Ball on Great Tusk, I didn't know the Titans were easy catches.
The fact that slakoth isn't anywhere on this list is mine boggling. I have yet to find a single one even after spending 6 actual hours fu m running into trees
This needs to be top comment, after 4 hours of hard headed hunting I decided to breed one
It's only those 2 trees it spawns on aparantly. It's easier/quicker to just breed the evolution and hatch the egg.
I was super lucky with Glimmet, found mine in the cave system near the Psychic gym, and it had the Modest nature
Mine had a rash nature. And i caught mine by eating a sandwich with rock encounter power
Not looking forward to having to find one, have a feeling that I won't just run into one 🤦♂
@@jamestm316 Well, I got mine during a mass outbreak, which is why I said I was lucky. If you haven't seen one in game yet, just look for the poison type symbol on your map when the mass outbreaks change each day
@@jamestm316 You should buy and eat a sandwich with the rock encounter power. It can be found in the school lunch room. Glimet were everywhere for me in the Alfornada cavern after that
@@AceAureus I'll have to try that, I have yet to truly figure out how the sandwich stuff works in this game lol, there's a lot to take in with this game just like Legends
Not only did I manage to have no issue catching Bombirdier with it being the first Titan I faced off with, but after defeating it, I caught one on my way down the mountain with its hidden ability Rocky Payload. It was a lot of fun to use and became one of my favorite Paldean mons
That’s probably the titan
Damn I didn’t even know that Glimmet was that hard to find. Found it in area zero and caught it with my first quick ball 😂
Yeah it's just best to get it in Area Zero instead of finding it in every specific cave on the wall sensing it's more 100% likely appear in Area Zero than everywhere else in the region
You don't need to Nature Hunt in Gen 9!!
You can buy Nature Mints at Chansey Supply!
You don't really need to IV hunt either since Bottle Caps are buyable and Hyper Training can be done at Level 50. Not to mention in a regular playthrough, bad IVs aren't really crippling.
I'm surprised that Applin and Slakoth aren't on the list. Haven't encounter those two for LONG TIME
I’m surprised that Skuntank wasn’t on this list when I tried to catch it kept exploding or using memento so it would die instantly and I was chucking ultra balls
Get a Golduck with Damp. It won’t fix the Memento problem (maybe Imprison???) but they won’t explode
😅🥹 I feel validated for using 30 ultra balls and ten luxury balls on Iron Valiant. But I am shocked to have caught Chien-pao on the first try too.
Dand my iron valiant took 2 ultra balls. And my Meridon took 5.
The Flamigo I got came to me early in the game and now it’s my Titan Slayer.
Yeah, Arceus definitely spoiled me. I played it first and never had the issue where I was throwing Pokeballs at the same pokemon for 37 rounds and running out of balls to throw because I have caught the entire dex and yet still did not have a move like Hypnosis to put mons to sleep. In Violet, I could not find a single tm for a sleep-inducing move even after catching all the version exclusive ones. I might have missed it, but none the pokemon I caught seemed to have the move either, lol
skill issue
Ralts learns it pretty early
Me, who found a pack of glimmet the first time I went through the mountain caves to the ice gym: Wait, this thing was a rare spawn?!
Same. I happened upon an outbreak of them
Looking forward to the Best Teams videos. I won’t be surprised to see Pokémon from multiple generations make the lists, since there are plenty of good ones. That said, I really hope you’ll also include a Paldea-Only Pokémon list, since a lot of us (not just me) enjoy using as many new Pokémon as possible.
Instead of trying to walk up on diglett, wiglett, and orthworm...just throw your active party lead at it with the ZR from farther away to initiate battle.
Tbh the Ruin pokemon didn't give me much trouble. Finding all the stakes was a bigger headache for me.
Those things were less obvious than the spiritomb will-o-wisps in legends arceus
Yeah 8 stakes per shrine is honestly ridiculous lol
@@derekosgood3230 someone should make a poll on which was more tedious, legends arceus spirits or scar/vio stakes.
@@frootloopthechatot9766 100% arceus wisps lol, 40 here v what like 120 there??? Not even close
@@jacksonmahomes119 i think ot was 107 for arceus but to be fair, at least those could be seen from a good distance away at night. I still struggle to find the stakes regardless of time of day bc they dont glow as bright
What's everyone's catch methods? I usually start with my Dedenne and use Nuzzle and Charm spam, then Volt Switch out into something with False Swipe, like Scyther
Throw a quick ball at the start of the battle and if that doesn't work, run, and then re-encounter. Repeat this until it is caught lmao
False Swipe and Sleep. Breloom can have Spore and False Swipe on the same moveset BTW though its frailty kind of sucks. Sleep is a more effective status than Paralysis. Sort of loses some effectiveness if the opponent is a Ghost type or they can't be put to sleep though which is something to keep in mind.
@@rolltideroll8458 Where and when are quick balls accessible?
@@jamestm316 they can be purchased after getting six Gym Badges.
Thank you! I love using the Quick Ball technique, when it comes to filling the dex or hunting for battle worthy Pokemon quick balls are a must!
Hi mystic. Love all your video. Maybe can do Top 10 rarest Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet or another list for pokemon that are difficult/tendious to evolve? Thanks bro :)
I found a Glimmet pretty easily in the cave before Alfornada after eating either a poison or rock encounter sandwich. The cave was fullll of them after that
Encounter rate, it’s hard to catch those special Tauros (water or fire + figthing type) in the wild. Not only do they rarely spawn but they only spawn once and always within a group. So you really need a keen eyes to see them. Took me a while to encounter and it was annoying to spot given that it looks like the regular Tauros and the fact that the Tauros pack are super aggressive.
Flamigo was the 2nd Pokémon I caught and it was in my first poke ball. Took that as a sign to use the guy as long as I could (gym 8) but seeing it in the list shocked me a little
Slakoth & Pineco should be on here for how hard they are too find. Does anyone else agree?
Ha! Definitely. I had to breed a Ditto with a Slaking just to get a Slakoth. Never have found a Slaking in it's supposed area (even with increased Normal encounter sandwiches)
Hell yeah
@@theskoomacat3106 I also just ended up breeding down
I found a slaking pack with slakoth 3 times in arow 😂😂
For glimmet, it also knows self destruct. So if you don't catch it first turn, it can go boom
Love the video and keep up the great work
Shout out to Tynamo for being so small it's almost invisible in the overworld
Wow half of the Titan Pokemon which you face in the playthrough is on the list.
Totally unrelated but if you have quaquaval, the best Tera type imo (obviously I’m not an expert) is ice cause it takes away its grass and flying weakness. For great tusk, I think it’s steel cause it turns 5 of its weaknesses into resistances.
The problem is the starters all have Tera types that are the same type they already are, and for other pokemon (like Great Tusk) you won't know what terra type it will have until you catch it unless you find one in a raid den and iirc you can't catch paradox mons in raid dens but I haven't been able to officially play just yet
Surprisingly, I found the petlil line extremely difficult to catch. It was one of the last Pokémon I needed to complete the Pokédex and despite what is said about Petlil being a common spawn in the two small areas where it spawns, it is absolutely not a common spawn. It took me probably 2-3 hours before I ever even saw one Petlil, and I might have missed a few because they blend into their grassy habitats annoyingly well. All I saw were Capsakids for several hours before I finally found one. The problem is that Liligant is no better. As I was struggling to find a Petlil, I tried to find a Liligant instead, but their spawn is extremely rare and have equally small habitats. It was one of the most infuriating Pokémon to find because both of its forms were exceedingly difficult to find, meaning I couldn’t evolve or breed an easier to catch Mon on the evolutionary line like I could for Slakoth.
I was able to catch all 4 of the treasures of ruin as well as the second Miriadon in Luxury balls, though it seems like I have most of those hard to catch mons already but still an interesting video
I'm also still determining what level it doesn't learn it any longer, but Bombirdier has Memento. The first time I tried to catch it after lowering its health, it instantly offed itself on me... I was like, great. This is going to be fun...
I honestly don't know what you're talking about with Orthworm. It was my first shiny and I caught it in 1 Premier ball🥴
I caught glimmet and did not even think much of it at the time 😅 was just by pure accident
Baxcailbur with the ace move icicle spear is powerful if you have given the item loaded dice.
I thankfully caught a mass outbreak of Glimmet. I had originally wanted to add it to my team but I wanted a female one. And the two others I had come across regularly were... male. I had given up, and then I had that outbreak.
Glimmora was a great addition to my team, as I needed another special attacker.
Everytime i encountered Glimment The damn thing would self-destruct on me so I gave up on it lol didn’t know that it was hard to fine one day I was in a cave and it was just a horde of them. Try to catch in three or four but the bastards kept self-destructing.
Catch a Pokemon with the Damp ability as that causes Self-Destruct and Explosion to fail.
I had no idea Bombirdier’s catch rate was so low. Must have gotten lucky on the first one. Repeat Ball has been plenty good for catching higher level ones (trying to get through the game fast = keep grinding to a minimum).
I got a glimmet mass outbreak and just found it in area zero too
Digging mons are the worst. Had a mini heart attack when a shiny wiglett kept burrowing away from no matter what.
Then I remembered ZR existed
Hardest pokemon to find for me was Bounsweet. I had to resort to catching a Steenie and evolving it to Tsareena and breeding it with Meowscarada.
Right?? All the tiny Pokémon that supposedly hang out in trees never show up for me! Gonna have to breed them I think, cause I’ve never seen a Slakoth, Applin or Bounsweet in the wild in S/V
Iron Valiant really didn't give me a problem. I'm looking for 2 more purple steaks, and 6 more green ones. Heck I even caught the box art Miridon with an ultra ball, so I still have my master ball.
Glemmit was definitely hard for me to get. I kept seeing it on the map before I knew what it was and kept looking. After awhile I thought it was just an error in klefkey icon
I really don't get why Indeedee is on this list. Yeah, it's only found in one region.... but it's a big region, they're all over it, and it's very close to a Team Star base (and you will pass through it directly if you do objectives in level order).
It's one thing to say something is hard to catch because it only spawns in easy to miss caves, and not always. It's another to say that you can't catch it... unless you go to the entire northeast corner of the map which is where to find it. That's like saying you can't catch something in the safari zone if you don't go to the safari zone in one of the earlier games.
I also think the dragons need to be broken up. Catching a dratini or deino is relatively easy, simply because they're so readily available in different areas. A bunch of the other babies, too.
Frigibax, on the other hand, was WAY more of a pain. I haven't found anywhere it reliably spawns, at least. I've only even seen two in all my hours in the game so far (working on the second gym loop, main team in the 70s).
numbers 10 to 2 were super easy for me to catch.
10: i got them at a regular basis in the Dalizapa passage where they spawn right in front of the pokemon center
9: i caught one first try before i even took a single step through Los Platos
8: the only pseudo i had trouble with was Dratini (=20 ball). every other one took maybe 3 balls at most till they stayed in
7: i wasn't even looking for one. i was just jumping around the map, crashed don't know where excatly, saw one, started a fight and simply threw a ball. got it first try
6: i had beaten the titan and was simply climbing the mountain it was on for fun when i encountered one and got it second try (btw. that one was not the ex-titan, cause i threw my pokemon at it and that started the fight)
5: i was running through the desert full speed on my ride pokemon and got one first try
4: i didn't need the surf/swim ability to encounter one. i simply stood at Casseroya Lake, saw one near the shore looking at me, aimed with the LR button and hammered it in the face with my pokemon.
3: again didn't need surf/swim. i was looking for Zangoose walked past a pond saw one and threw my pokemon at it. again got one first try
2: caught two. one for myself and one to trade away for an Iron Valiant. had some trouble with the first one until i decided to just use a dusk ball since it was in a cave. second one i used a dusk ball right after getting it into the orange and caught it first try.
can't say anything about the ruins since i still haven't started with trying to get them.
Valiant is actually easier than moon because if you eat a fairy sandwich, you'll encounter nothing but them, while there are many dark and dragon types in area zero to deny easy moon encounters
"Starting off this list is Glimmet". Wow, guess I was lucky I had a mass outbreak of them early on then.
Quick Balls , if you get access to Queic Balls , you are a god
Just got a copy of Violet about a week ago and I'm about 100 Pokemon into the Dex. I filled all Pokedex's in the Sword and Shield games and I'm looking forward to doing the same with this generation! Any insight as to when it will be compatible with Home?? Great video thank you for posting!!!
"Flamigo is hard to catch." Me, finding and catching a Flamigo before I even got to the school: ???
As this video was coming out, I've been trying to get the four ruin pokémon for about a week now. The first one I've gone for is the dark grass snail pokémon. I have knocked it out, five times at this point. If I didn't save and consistently restart my game, I would be more than livid... I haven't even unlocked the other three yet, I'm still just trying to catch that one before moving on
To me, the ONLY Pokémon that gave me any trouble at all to find was Petilil
If it comes down to a long battle timer balls always work for me lol
Chi-hi was the toughest to catch for me… though catching it in a luxury ball was a pain(though I had to catch it again because it had the wrong terra type) though for catching the other ruin legends because wu-chen used spite on the other legends ruination move, not dealing with that is awesome
Aren't the Treasures of Ruin set in their Tera types? I don't think restarting the capture process changes the tera type of a legendary
Quick ball has helped me catch a lot of these with little to no problems lol
I think i had thrown like 30+ ultra balls on a dragonair just for me to see a flying dragonite 5 minutes later 😂 didn’t even bother to catch it at that point
Petlil, and Applin were hard to find... but easy to catch. Only pokemon I've struggled against catching have been the ruin ones. The other ones on this list were not hard to get at all.
Thank God for raids & surprise trades. Caught a large percentage through those means
Basculin was easy to encounter before being able to swim, thats what the PokeBall throwing mechanic helps.
We all complained about how sword and sheiks had Pokémon roaming around in a certain area we finally got Pokémon out in the real world
All I can ask for the next entry is voice acting for key moments getting your started battling your rival before the elite 4 dialogue with the members and the champions and some end game stuff
With the exception of slot 1, (and slot 2, but only because I havent gotten to area zero), none of these ever really caused me a problem. Glimmet I got lucky on (was a outbreak of Glimmet the first time I got to the psycic gym), but the rest were over and done with without any real problem. Then again, I tend to use great/net/ultra balls on the first of every pokemon past level 20.
The hardest ones for me to find are the rare and position specific pokemon, like Slakoth, Charcadet, Eevee and Applin. Glimmet might count in this category as well, but it seriously took me 30 min to catch two applin, and another 30 min (with sandwitch) to catch 1 Eevee.
Personally i had a harder time with Sandy Shocks and Iron thorns over Roaring moon and Iron valiant. While Roaring moon and Iron valiant are only in the one location, they are pretty common to find there. but took me multiple visits and reseting spawns multiple times to get Iron thorns and Sandy Shocks.
For me Orthworms are everywhere in the desert and construction area, just slithering along just doin their thing in my game. Of course I do get the ones peeking their heads out of the ground as well but I get just as many if not more above ground moving like a snake. It get scared if you approach it and when it runs away it uses its little arm/leg/tentacles that come out of all those blue holes to be able to get away quick from you. It looks extremely weird tbh. But I just thought that I’d share what the Orthworms do in my game bc it’s the exact opposite of what Mystic experienced with them. Also bc almost everything people have been saying about the game isn’t the case when it comes to my copy. It’s worked perfectly with no problems to very minimal things that every game has. But as far as crashes, or lagging/frame rate problems. Also none of those pokemon were hard to catch for me besides the 4 ruin legends and the addition Miraidon/Koraidon you can catch post game. And the 4 ruin ones weren’t extremely hard just a little difficult. I caught the snow leopard looking one with two halves of a sword in its mouth with my first throw, no condition, it was the1st turn of the encounter and I threw a dive ball bc their colors matched and was shocked. My brother looked at me and was like wait what the Hell you just walked up there threw a ball and was out peace lol. He said with a very jealous tone “you’re so lucky” like he yearned to have a bit of luck as well. Eventually he got a shiny Venomoth though. Then directly after I found a shiny Hoppip lol
Please clarify this because I may just not understand it properly. Why is it that I cal only catch Pokemon I already have when it critical catch? It happened so many times that when I tried catching a Fletchling near my house, I can only catch it when the ball shakes, not matter how many times I get a 3 shakes.
I got a glimmet from the second raid den I tried. Stayed with me right through to end game. I think it's my favourite of the new Pokemon 🤔
Caught a Flamingo right after the first pokestop (I ran off exploring for way too long prior to heading to school). Having the hamster mon helped, I paralysed it and lucked into a catch.
The needing to sneak mechnic is partly genius and partly frustrating as all hell. The worst is Sudowoodo 😫 The way it suddenly picks up and runs is so annoying. The number of times I've been riding around, minding my business only to be blindsided as one runs straight into me 😆
Right after fighting the totem Bombirdier I tried to catch it and this thing swept me cause eventhough I managed to put it in the red I didn't have any status move and I had like 4 great Balls and then only Poke Balls.
Also I'd say catching the second Legendary is a pain in the a$$, especially if you're playing Violet cause since Miraidon is an Electric Type you can't paralyze it. Also since it's sets up Electric Terrain you can't put it to sleep either, at least until the Terrain is gone.
I caught the catchable Koraidon in a Luxury Ball thanks to a Critical Capture and weakening it. Honestly, weaken it and hock Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls if in caves or at night and it shouldn't be too hard to fail a capture. Some Pokemon are just obnoxious though and Pokemon that suicide are the worst. Haven't gotten to Miraidon in Violet yet but hoping I have the same sort of luck.
@@ShiningJudgment666 thankfully I had a Tinkatone on my team so what I did for Miraidon was wait until it didn't have any Electro Drift left and then I patiently threw Timer Ball at it until I got a critical capture but I still had to heal Tinkatone a few times.
@@jayrome1884 Yeah. Koraidon was definitely touch and go. I had to heal a lot, be mindful of how much PP it was using and I didn't have status on it so I was kind of praying for a miracle with it. I feel like they made catching easier overall though. Most things I've been able to catch in Poke Balls. Pseudo's and their evolved forms, Roaring Moon, Eeveelutions, etc.
@@ShiningJudgment666 I didn't have too much trouble with catching in Violet but Iron Valiant I had to use Timer Balls too, that's definitely the toughest Paradox Pokemon to catch.
i did something very dumb while playing this game i didnt know how to get to cascarafa to challenge kofu so i flew back to the home jumped in the water with miraidon and began to move around the map so i can get to cascarafa so basically i moved through most of the paldean sea instead of thinkingof a more easy way to get there what do you think ?
Randomly caught a Roaring Moon w a couple false swipes into a sleep spore and snabbed it in a Luxury Ball. Then spent an hour tryin to catch another to trade and gave up lol.
I guess I was lucky with Glimmet - Had an outbreak of a Pokemon I hadn't seen, turned out to be Glimmet so my first encounter with it I saw like 100 😅
I got 100 Pokeballs as part of a pre-order promotion.
At least 40 of those went on catching red & blue Basculin. I forgot just how bullshit their catch rate was. But eventually sunk-cost hit me & I couldn't stop.
How about make a video of the top ten Strongest Paradox Pokemon?
I didn't know Glimmet had a low catch rate. I caught a Glimmet in a Tera Raid Battle in Asado Desert
My very first encounter with Iron Valiant is a shiny one and I caught it. Haven't found ANY shiny Pokemon (even with Meal Powers) ever since.
Edit: New Year's Eve I found and caught a Shiny Iron Moth.
I had to complete the 'dex to get the Shiny Charm and use Meal Powers to get another shiny lol
No slakoth? I spend days trying to find that little dude. finally had to just breed'em
I’m pretty sure I got indeedee when I was trying to kill chanseys for xp, didn’t know it was considered difficult to get
I came across a random shiny Indeedee in my second play through. Even with it being paralyzed I went through so many poke balls. I got down to single digit on the balls and was terrified. I ended up catching it. Nearly had a heart attack in the process though lol
The 4 ruin pokemon, can all be captured in the same fashion, false swipe then hypnosis catch with timmer ball after 4 turns. Except the snail has grass move to heal.
When will you be doing a no restrictions team?
Took me many hours spread out between like three days to catch a jolly and adamant roaring moon.
To this day, I’ve saw a Glimmet ONE time and couldn’t even catch it with ultra balls🙃
if Beldum, Metang and Metagross were in the game, they'd have made to this list since their catch rate was always on par with legendaries. It was a pain in the ass to catch a beldum in S/M, only coming with take down and being so damn hard to catch, in no time it would faint cause of the recoil.
So I just spent 1 Quick Ball, 15 Ultra Balls, 2 Net Balls, 3 Ocean Balls, 3 Newt Balls and 4 Timer balls to catch a level 16 Quillfish that was paralyzed and my active Pokémon was level 65. Then immediately caught a level 55 Dragonaire with a Quick Ball. Did I just have a stroke?
I have caught an orthoworm, bombardier, and basculin, and a few sudo legendaries. I have yet to find the mythical slackoth
Use quick balls/timer balls they help out a lot
I just did the save and quick ball method where if it fails I just run or reset if don't want to fight it or waste other balls.
I can say that i was so lucky to find glimmet in a raid
I think Dusk Lycanroc should have been on this list you can only find it in 1 specific spot at a specific time and only for 5 minutes at that time unless you're making a list of hardest pokemon to find
Just use a sandwich and you got 20 lol
Slakoth nr1. Just my guess as that one took me over 2 hours
It is you can only find it near a tree it's random where it spawns
wait whats coming out at 7:00 AM PST on December 11th again? I forget
Honestly I never have problems catching pokemon even with status conditions I just draw balls until they're captured
I actually found a glimmet outbreak right after I completed the main game so I guess I’m lucky lol
I actually caught all my iron valiant's with poke balls
Capturing Glimmet CAN get much worse since it knows Self-destruct.
Not gonna lie, Flamigo didn't really give me much trouble catching early doors tbph , and I didn't even know the pokemon's catch rate either.
The last two slots I did need to get a guide to actually find them/the Staves.... but otherwise, I didn't have any troubles at all.
This game is very generous if you go out of your way to explore. Which means no problem keeping a good amount of poke balls on hand.
I would have to say that a majority of your list I would disagree with just because half of them or even more than half of them I was able to get because of raids. The paradox and sub legendaries were definitely the hardest because you couldn't get them in raids.
Idk if it's just me, but half of these Pokemon were easy to catch and some of the hardest aren't.
All of them were pretty easy to me. But getting a god damn makuhita.. it stopped spawning for hours once I wanted it for the pokedex. 😅
seriously? i got one about 2 minutes after leaving Mesagoza through the east gate for the first time
The only pokemon I had trouble catching were iron valiant and iron thorns. The former because it kept breaking out, the latter because the mf wouldn't spawn
That dang Murkrow I threw so many ultra balls at it. 😠
