Is it going to take a while to catch Heatran like it was for Giratina?

Question

I know that catching Giratina took a while and I was wondering if it was going to be the same with Heatran.
Please help.

Answer 1

Yes

The catch rate of Giratina is 3 (Bulbapedia)
This is the same as Heatran's catch rate (Bulbapedia)

So it will take quite a while to catch.

However do remember, this is just a probability count the catch rate - It could potentially take you one ball to catch - it's just whether you're lucky or not.
