Completing any region's Pokédex can be a grueling task. Finding, cat🌠ching, evolving, and trading for hundreds of different Pokémon is no easy feat, especially when some of those Pokémon are near impossible to find or capture.
In Alola, there are a few Pokémon that might give you quite the runaround or will resist being in a Poké Ball until their final bit of effort is expended. In order to complete y꧒our Alola 'dex, you'll need to hunt down these rarer monsters and be sure to bring some Ultra Balls with you. Here are the hardest Pokémon in Alola to catch.
10 Zygarde
Zygarde, a Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VI, isn't the most difficult to catch in a conventional sense. Rather, it's extremely tedious and annoying t✅o capture. To add this Dragon/Ground-type to your Pokﷺédex, you'll need to collect Zygarde Cores and Zygard Cells, which are scattered around the four islands of Alola.
Zygarde has a 10% Form, a 50% Form, and a 100% Form. Each will require a higher number of cells and cores. F🌜inding them all is a difficult task and many of them are h🤪idden or hard to find.
9 Jangmo-o
Every generation of the Pokémon games has introduced a pseudo-legendary — a Pokémon that meets certain requirements to make it on par with the power of a typical Legendary. These Pokémon are🌃 typically difficult to find and capture, and Generation VII's pseudo-legendary, Kommo-o, is no diffe🧸rent.
You'll need to level up a Jangmo-o to level 35 to evolve it into Hakamo-o, who then evolves into Kommo-o at level 45. Jangmo-o itself is difficult to find, onl🔯y found in Vast Poni Canyon with a very low encounter rate.
8 Feebas
Feebas168澳洲幸运5开奖网: always s𒉰eems ☂to find itself on the lists of hardest Pokémon to catch. And that's for good reason — it's notoriously difficult to locate in ever♔y region. Alola is also home to this ugly fish and its terrible encounter rate.
Find Feebas by fishing in the Brooklet Hill, the location of the Water-type trial. It has a minuscule 1 percent encounter rate, meaning you'll be fishing for quite a while. Increase your chances to 5 percent (10 percent in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon) by fishing at the bubbling spots.
7 S꧑OS Salamence
This is a well-known secret that took many players by su🌸rprise. The SOS feature in the Generation VII games allows a wild Pokémon to "call for help," summoning a second Pokémon from a pool of possible spawns to come to their aid against you.
On Route 3, a playܫer has a very rare chance — about 1 percent — to encounter a Bagon. If they're then super lucky, that Bagon can call for a Salamence. It'll take a very long time for this to happen, but it is possible.
6 Mimikyu
A very interesting and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:very frightening Pokémon is Mimikyu, a Ghost/Fairy-type introduced in Sun and Moon. This Pikachu-wannabe serve🧜s as the Totem Pokémon for A🦋cerola's Thrifty Megamart trial.
After the trial is completed, the player can then encounter wild Pokémon inside the abandoned store. At this point, a wild Mimikyu can be caught. However, with a low encounter rate (5 percent), it'll take knocking out a few Haunter 🍌and Golbat before you finally find this spooky costume-wearer.
5 𓆏 Passimian and Oranguru ꧂
Like every series of games before them, Sun and Moon introduced version exclusive Pokémon that are locked to either Sun or Moon. In this generation, it's Passimian and Oranguru that players will have to swap their friends for. Passimian is found in Sun while Oranguru is found in Moon.
Howꩲever, adding to the difficulty of having to swap fo൩r the other version Pokémon, they're both extremely rare. Across all the Generation VII games, both of these monkeys have just a 5 percent encounter rate.
4 Minior Color൩s
Minior is a Rock/Flying Pokémon meant to resemble a meteor or shooting star. This Generation VII single-stage comes in seven different colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. There is also a blཧack shiny form for the true collectors.
The encounter rate of Minior is pretty measly, but add in trying to collect all of the colors, and you're in for a long hunt. This🅰 is especially true given the fact that it has to be weakened before its outer layer disappears and reveals the color inside, meaning you can't run immediately if it's the wrong color. Also, they know Self-Destruct, meaning they can knock themselves out before you even get the chance to see the color.
3 Salazzle
Some Pokémon🐟, like Froslass and Gallade, can only be obtained by evolving their pre-evolution of a certain gender. Froslass will only evolve from female Snorunt while Gallade evolves from male Ralts only.
Generation VII with this mechanic — Salandit. Only female Salandit will evolve into Salazzle, a powerful Fire/Poison-🦹type. This is difficult enough to deal with on its own, but it's made worse by Salandit's extremely off-kilter gender ratio. Almost 90 percent of all Salandit are male, meaning you'll be looking for a female for a while.
2 Beldum
Too many players have had to contend with the insanely low catch rate of Beldum. This pseudo-legendary Steel/Psychic-type fro🌺m Generation III has a terrible catch rate that rivals most Legendaries. Their catch rate is 3, tying with Legendary Pokémon for the lowest possible.
Beldum caꦉn be found on Mount Hokulani with a pretty low encounter rate of only 10 percent. Once you finally encounter one, you'll have a challenging time getting it to stay in the Poké Ball, so make sure you bring a lot of them.
1 Ultra🎐 Necrozma
This intense and epic Legendary Pokémon is on this list as the only Legendary. In Sun and Moon, Necrozma had the low catch rate of most Legendaries (and Beldum) at just 3. It was increased to 255 — the highest possible — in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, but that doesn't mean it's easy to catch now.
Ultra Necrozma is one🐬 of the toughest boss fights across the entire franchise. It takes some quick thinking, intense strategy, patience, and a good, stable team to take this thing down. This is what makes it so hard to catch.
