My game likes giving me awesome luck, doesn't it?
Last night I was checking all of the honey trees for Pokémon. I decided it was going to be quicker to import a Snorlax and a Heracross from FireRed and Emerald, but I was checking the trees one last time to make sure none of them had a Heracross or a Munchlax...
... but I didn't expect to actually find both of them! This was my second day doing the slatherings like Butterfree's guide suggested (I never paid much attention to honey trees before then).
I started up Emerald to search for Feebas (no way in hell am I going to use the lake in Platinum) and on the... something like 120th tile I was searching in guess what I found!

For some reason, I always found my Relicanth when I wasn't looking for it in particular. Once a couple of years ago in Emerald, and the second one just recently, when I was searching for a Modest, Quiet or Mild Chinchou.
I also once found a female Combee without really looking. But I can't seem to find Heracross. Of course, I could just migrate one...

List of pokemon I haven't been able to catch, despite my best efforts:
-Feebas
-Kangaskhan (I found one in a previous Fire Red game, foolishly deleted it. Ugghhh)
-Bagon (I can't find the place to catch it. ;_;)
Otherwise, all the pokemon have been easy to get.
Protip: Having trouble catching moltres? Out of Burn-heals? Try a Flash-fire ability ponyta, growlithe or vulpix! Moltres doesn't have any other attacks than Fire blast, so getting him caught is a piece of cake! (I've never taken so long to catch him that he'd have to use struggle. ;D)

The raoming three birds in Platinum. Somewhat high leveled, always run unless you got the anti-run poke, seems to LOVE criticals at the most inappropriate moments and Dusk Balls just won't do it. :c Already spend several thousands on them just in balls for them, still don't have them. Oh and let's not start with -finding- them; one can only go up and down at the town's limit so many times and hear the beginning of the same song so often before spasming on the floor and growling madly.
Non-lengendary wise, I'd say female nidorans in platinum. Nidorina is easy to find but not the younger one (well, for me). :c Pokéradar seems to really hate me in general, actually.

Or you could do this:
Right now, I'm hunting for shiny Snorunt.
@_@
When I finally get to 40 in this chain, I hope my shiny is a female...
EDIT: Where I live, it's about 5:40. And my Snorunt chain just broke at 25. For no apparent reason.
*epic headdesk*
Only two and a half more hours...

I think shiny hunting with the pokéradar is among the most frustrating hunt to do. :I Way too often, chains do just break because they feel like it, no matter how hard you follow every rules stated in guides.
The Pokéradar hates us. A lot. Forever.

..congrats? "Insane amount of practice" are the keywords here. Not everyone is gonna/be able to spend -that- much time to perfect chaining. Doesn't make it less hard for others if -you- can do it. :P
Still waiting for the Dunsparce swarm to show up. Dunsparce and Spiritomb are the only non-legendary Pokémon I need in Platinum before I have a Pokémon in every evolution line (well actually I also need the Johto starters but HG/SS take care of that). The completion log in my sig? It keeps going up as a result of me abusing the Experience Share and evolving all the base forms I have. I'm going in Pokédex order and I'm on Koffing.
