Although catching legendary Pokémon in the main series has always been challenging, one player claimed it took them 11 hours to catch Miraidon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet while attempting to do what very few trainers have done. A player shared a clip of them successfully catching Miraidon in a Beast Ball after 11 hours of futile attempts in a thread on Reddit on July 22.

As soon as you thought things couldn’t get any worse, the player made it clear that the laborious process wasn’t as straightforward as simply throwing the Beast Ball at Miraidon at the start of the battle before resetting.
