Hardest pokemon to capture/recruit?

Boo

PMD 2 FTW
My hardest to recruit was Mew. My hardest to capture was Charizard or Salamence.
All were pretty easy though.

Hardest to recruit: Groudon??? There aren't really any that are hard except the fully evolved water evos and Kecleon. But I don't have them. :D
Hardest to capture: Like I'm playing that game. :D
 
My hardest recruit was - Gee, I dont know... emmm.. OH OH! Pikachu! That little devil took me 2 days to recruit! Little Devil...

My hardest capture was - The 2 dogs and that lighting tiger thing. AKA Entei, Suicune, Raikou.

Chansey and Ponyta are the hardest to recruit imo, right up there with Jirachi.

I have most of the others >_>

I can't seem to recruit Silcoon or Cascoon. I'm tired of going into the Sinister Forest for those two. 9_9 Serebii.net's spin-off dex saids the chances of recruiting them is 19%. I've been getting a lot of Sentret wanting me to recruit them though the chances of recruiting Sentret is 7.3% according to the dex. I don't get it. I should be raking in more Silcoon and Cascoon than Sentret, right? o_O

You *Rolleyes* that's -19 as in negative number.

Hardest to recruit is Kecleon by a land slide.

Why didn't you just say I was wasting my time going after those two and go after Wurmple instead? That would have been more helpful. *rollseyes* I tried recruiting Nuzleaf numberous times and just looked at its number in the dex which is also -19. Wonder who else I've wasted time trying to recruit that's got a negative number! -_-
