Here are the top 10 hardest pokemon to catch in Scarlet & Violet along with tips on how you can capture them.

Koraidon

Koraidon

Starting the list off is one of the version-exclusive Pokemon. Koraidon is a Fighting and Dragon Legendary Pokemon known to be a  very rare companion. The main reason is Koraidon’s incredible power that gives trainers little to no chance of victory. But, status-inflicting moves and appropriate Pokeball can at least increase the chance of catching it. The pokemon is also designed differently than ordinary Pokemon as it allows players an option to add a battle-mode variation after being used as a traveling companion or have it trade with other exclusive versions and clones.

Miraidon is an Electric Dragon-type Pokemon with an outstanding visual design and significance to the story. This legendary Pokemon mirrors similar qualities of  Koraidon which is the reason why it is also included in the list. Players are given limited opportunities to capture this Pokemon making it very difficult to obtain.

Ditto

Ditto

Ditto, the shape-shifting Pokemon has always been a difficult one to capture. The main factor that adds to the challenge of capturing this Pokemon is due to its ability to change its appearance, mimicking other Pokemon’s figures, to avoid being captured. It appears randomly at rare moments and will vanish from its appearance. It was often believed that you can only catch this Pokemon by luck for it masters the game of hide and seek. It was either this Pokemon will pick you or you will continue to capture as many lower-level Pokemon until you luckily stumble into one.

Dudunsparce

Dudunsparce

For a time being, the evolution process of Dunsprace has piqued the interest of many players. But, trying to spot this Pokemon in the wild is a more difficult challenge than expected. When Dunsprace evolved, the 3 segment evolution of this Pokemon decreased its catching rate. Although it is not impossible, chances to obtain a 3-segment variation of the character run to 20% max. With no information of the Dudunsprace’s whereabouts, this Pokemon remains to be a harder catch than its 2-segment form.

Pseudo-Legendaries

Pseudo-Legendaries

Pseudo-legendary Pokemon are highly desired by gamers, thus it is only natural for these pokemon to possess a low catch rate. These pokemon are highly anticipated because of their base stat total of 600. With that being said, it is very tricky to catch them, especially in their strongest form. But with high risks come great returns which are why many players are hell-bent to catch this formidable Pokemon to make a significant addition to their Pokedex.

Ceruledge

Ceruledge

Ceruledge is one of the two Pokemon that was newly revealed for Scarlet and Violet. It comes with an intimate design that catches the interest of the players.  However, this endearing Pokemon sets a different level of difficulty for the players when it comes to catching.  Not only is its pre-evolution, Charcadet, that is hard to obtain but also the items needed for it to evolve are a challenge to find.

Above all the Ruinous Pokemon mentioned in this list, Chin-Yu is the strongest. The Dark and Fire-type combination made this Pokemon a terrible opponent with endless potential.
