simply post what you think is the hardest pokemon to train
 
Well, there are many factors that make a Pokémon hard to train. For instance, I hard hard time when making Ponyta evolve into a Rapidash, since it kept fainting. I trained it outside Snowpoint City and a single Vital Throw from a Machoke at the same level made it faint.

But I guess the pseudo-legendaries are the hardest.
 
The Pokemon that can't do crap for 20 levels and have to rely on Exp. Share and stuff like that at first. Like, say, Magikarp and Beldum. Ralts and Seedot also don't have any good attacks at first and need a lot of help before they evolve too.
 
Wailmer in Sapphire due to the slow growth rate. I really wanted a Wailord so that I could get the Regis, but due to how tedious the levelling was I simply gave up.
 
The hardest Pokémon to train are by far those Pokémon with no attacking skills. Pokémon like Wobbuffet and Shuckle. They take way too long since they have to resort to the Lucky Egg/Exp. Share and Switch method. That, or they require too many healing Items, or take way too much time with their best tactics. So yes, either hard or time-consuming.

This also goes for Pokémon with pretty low Attack/Special Attack Stats and Pokémon with small Movepools usually consisting of Normal and other Type's attacks. Especially bad for Grass Types. Unless you get a good Hidden Power, they're usually struggling against certain Pokémon Types. Defensive Pokémon also take longer than Offensive ones as well.
 
Aggron I had such a problem raising that thing it just would barley gain any exp.
 
Raising Aron to Larion. Why wait 31 levels to evolve just to do it again in 10 more?

Magikarp is also included.
 
Feebas. Not only is it incredibly hard to catch. I have to give it pokeblocks in order for it to evolve and since I'm bad at making them I never max out its beauty in time. So mainly I don't get Milotic.
 
I forgot about Freebas, yeah, that's probably the hardest... but I think you can teach it TM moves, so it isn't as bad. I agree on the Beldums and Dratini's though. Also with Wobuffet and Shuckle (and all the others people have stated).
 
ralts , magikarp , abra in r/b/y (Teleport ?) , wobbuffet , shuckle , chansey frm an egg , after that the rest are straightforward ish
I dont raise legends
 
ever thought training pokemon (Kakoona/Metapod/Silcoon/Cascoon) was hard....

but really, I thing traing a Magikarp was really hard, but it was worth it at the end :D
 
I never thought it was that hard to train a Magikarp. All you have to do is switch out until it evolves, and it was always well worth it in the end.

Someone else said Aron to Lairon, and I agree. I love Aggron and always had one in Sapphire/Emerald when I played, but I really hated training it up to that point. It took for freaking ever, if Aron leveled up any slower it would be going backwards.
 
hmm......u have a point there.... It took me until I got to Liza and Tate to evolve Aron (I gave up tryin lol)

....getting that evolve at levels 50+ are very annoying ,_,
 
I thought Darkrai was a pain. He doesn't learn Dark Pulse until level 93, so he couldn't do much of anything. I didn't want to teach him TMs yet, and I wasn't wasting the Dark Pulse TM on something that can learn it naturally. So basically I had to level a Pokemon that high without any useful moves, in order to get a useful move. Once he learned Dark Void, I just gave up and rare candied him the rest of the way.
 
Dratini, unless you want to invest a couple TMs onto that thing its not going to learn anything useful any time soon. Even as a Dragonair, its best offensive move was Slam ._.
