Community Q&A
- QuestionWhere does Zapdos go if I run out of Pokeballs or faint and am not able to catch it?
Community AnswerIt disappears from the game. Knocking out Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, or Mewtwo removes them from the game completely. That's why you should save your game before trying to catch it, as recommended under Warnings at the end of the article, so if you fail, you can restart and try again. - QuestionWhy do my ultra balls always miss when I try to catch Zapdos in Pokemon Red?
Community AnswerBecause they have to be either paralyzed or asleep. The Pokémon has to have some sort of status, so the Pokeball doesn't miss. - QuestionIs it possible to catch Zapdos with numerous standard Poke Balls?Community AnswerIt is, but the Zapdos has to have low HP.
Tips
Warnings
- Zapdos is very hard to catch so you need to save the game before trying to catch it. Put it in minimum HP and status should be asleep. Be sure to bring a lot of Pokeballs or Master Ball(s) if you have any.Thanks
