You mean LarvitarTube 😂😂

[@intermediatepokemontrainer]

I remember when I was new to the pokemon franchise and Pokemon X was my first pokemon game. I beat the game and decided to catch more pokemon for the pokedex. Then I accidentally encountered Articuno and it fled. I eventually caught it. And this was one of the videos that helped me for the hunt for Articuno. Great video, TyranitarTube! Your content is always appreciated!

ғιsн I didn’t...

[@LucyKosaki]

Thank you, this works really well! Took me around 40 minutes for the remaining 9 encounters and the battle in the cave.

[@hioeo]

FOR THOSE WONDERING: 1. Froakie-moltrese Fennikin-zapdos Chespin-ardicuno 2. It takes 11 encounters to drive it to the cave 3. Quick ball, dusk ball, ultra ball, timer ball in that order. 1 quick ball, 9 dusk balls, 10 ultra balls, and a gorgeous 3 timer balls for a bonus 2x catch rate and more so if hes in the red. (This is approximate, i caught him with an ultra ball (ok, 40 ultra balls) so dont expect to catch it with the first timer ball. 4. Route 14. Max repels, bike. Just keep trying, dont pay attention to where he is, just keep going, you WILL find it, and everytime you encounter it, SAVE. You dont want to do what i did and break your thumb off cause you raged wothout saving, ejected the cart, and had to encounter it 10 more times (21 total). It sucked.

[@naranciaisbestboy8662]

hioeo why gamefreak. I want Zapdos but not fennekin...

Great video man. Helped me out a lot. I figured there was a trick to this but I couldn't figure out why moltres was running from me before I even had the chance to throw a single pokeball at it.

[@TarnishedSkIz]

Omg dude thank you i have been chasing moltres all day and you helped a lot so i subscribed

[@EuclideanAl]

Hi there! I'd just like to thank you for making this vid, I managed to get Molters to spawn in the den fairly quickly thanks to this. Roaming legendaries is ridiculous and I'm glad it was phased out in ORAS! Although I have yet to catch Cresselia...

[@Masonator126]

Thanks kid, you're very helpful and not annoying! :D

[@cjsn19]

thanks a lot for making this vid it does help rather then running ALL over the place and hoping to catch up to him, but its still a pain and takes a long time to wait till he is at your spot

[@HotaruYT88]

Voice has changed drastically, you've come far in 9 years.

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

Will the birds nature change if you soft-reset and battle him again, or is it set from the moment it appears for the first time? Also, don't forget to use O-power Capture Power. That will help!

[@Mrweaver124]

WAIT! I HAVE AN IDEA! 1. Get a lot of Poke Miles. 2. Go to that Poke Miles guy in Luminose City. 3. Go Buy a Master Ball. 4. Encounter your bird 10 times to get to Sea Spirit's Cave. 5. Encounter it for the last time and use the Master Ball in the first turn. 6. Enjoy your easiest catch ever.

[@antonio2173]

can you buy with poke miles a masterball?????

[@Mrweaver124]

no you can't. just found that out.

[@antonio2173]

ah ok,thanks

[@Mrweaver124]

antonio garcia vazquez DAmn sure it'd be 100,000 pokemiles though.

[@yourdreams2440]

No, I would use the masterball on mewtwo. Just because I'd rather have a mewtwo than one of these guys. Not that you can't get both XD

[@cenanuffz]

BRO I just finished watching a TTartube video on Pokemon Z-A, got nostalgic and went to find an old XY video, starting watch this, and didn't realize until I looked at the title that it was THE SAME PERSON sounding completely different.

[@greenzor13]

thanks you that was so useful, see this kid keeps pestering me all day about how to get it but i didn't know so very much thank you

[@hgpot]

I've seen my Zapdos before. But I try your method of biking back and forth between that city and that route and he does not show. I've gone back and forth at least a dozen times now, no Zapdos encounters. And I bike the whole length of the grass patch there back and forth 3-4 times as well each time. What all has to be done before getting the legendary bird?

[@pinkzepp360]

The method of going from Route 4 to Santalune City to encounter your Legendary Bird is obsolete as of March 2016, if you've applied the latest Pokemon XY updates. It was probably patched/updated a while ago and I haven't noticed until now.

[@gingernationgaming8866]

Right

[@josephtebay]

+pinkzepp360 whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[@MosquitoHater]

+Joseph Tebay What do you mean patched? I did excacly like this video right now. march 5. 2016. And it worked. Encountered Moltres 10 times in that same bush in under 12 min :)

[@pinkzepp360]

Do you have the latest update? I guess encounters differ among the birds because a lot of us that had to hunt down Articuno had a hard time.

[@MosquitoHater]

Yea I got the latest update. And im always connected to internet. And i caught Moltres yesterday :) Are you using max repel, and do you have a pokemon between 30-70 as your first pokemon? I kept run in and out of the bush then in and out of the rute entrance. took me no time to meet 10 moltres'

[@lucas49ak]

i just clicked on the vid and i didnt even realize it was tyranitar tube

[@smexybearz1193]

THANK YOU SO MUCH literally took me a day to figure it out legit

[@kookyrt]

ive only seen it once and dont know how to encounter my zapdos again i was just roamingin route 16 near Lumiose city and then i was like Da fuq then i was all like holy shit thats a zapdos then i was gonna get ready to battle it and for some reason it sais it flew away or something i was WHAT THE HELL ='(

[@ShamBamGaming]

Don't worry, You'll see it again :)

[@moonmorten21]

follow it on your pokedex ;)

[@tsukimelty]

I just got Zapdos yesterday. Also i will give you tips how to easily catch the Legendary Birds. 1. Make sure your pokemons in your party are lower than Level 70. 2. Do not use the Lumi Cab or Fly or the bird will go to another place. 3. Always use the bicycle and Max Repel. Thats all!

[@taigalou]

TrashyClassy omfg thanks so much

[@victorlaracuente2995]

The bird goes to another place everytime I get close. Im not even flyinf or using cabs ;-; Why bird no liek me?

[@mehmetkaragul9328]

im not using cap when im going somewhere my repel is on and im just usin biycle but its always runinng away why ?

Thanks I've been tracking down Moltres for quite some time! Also Almighty Froakie? YES SOMEONE WHO BELIVES!

[@yque8761]

Me: meets moltres Moltres: runs away

[@ViperRulerlm]

Here's how I caught MewTwo. I saved before going in the cave and kept using quick balls. Every time one failed, I just reloaded the save and did it again. It took me a lot less time than you probably think it did.

[@Schmodin]

Lol. I got him in 3 turns. Crunch - Crunch - dusk ball.

[@Kidd368]

MadPanda582 I did the same thing but got it with a pokeball lol

[@Wolfeydubstep]

i got him down to red and then pokeball'd... he was shiny too... first try shiny actually.. i didn't save beforehand lol... 1st try and caught him...

[@keira120]

i just used the master ball

[@pappappappap1]

I caught mewtwo with a poke'ball. :D

[@Shadow-fi8fx]

I did to in Let's Go

[@Melhope1230]

They should have a "shining ball" so if you find a shiny it'll be easier to catch.

[@Melhope1230]

we'll I'm pretty sure game freak has noticed that people know how to catch/ breed shinies the right way, so it could be useful.

How many times do you have to see the bird in order to finally catch it?

[@PranaySen]

Last time I checked it was 12

[@3000beesinatrenchcoat]

***** Crap I've only seen Zapdos about 7 times. It was 5 minutes of torture. D:

[@PranaySen]

Alyson M have u used ur master ball yet? I used it to catch Yveltal 😏

[@3000beesinatrenchcoat]

***** Nah its wasteful to use your master ball. I almost never use it for games.

[@3000beesinatrenchcoat]

I HAS ZAPDOS

[@user-kp2wg1pr5e]

I don't account articuno, zapdos, and moltress as legendary. Because, they exist in every region of poke world. Only legendaries are Groudon, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Rashimra, Zeckrom, Kyurem, Lugia, HO-OH, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Arceus, Mewtwo, Zernea, Yvital, and Zegarde. Rest of other pokemons that many people think legendaries are not legenaries. They are just very rare in poke world.

[@rikalorne9539]

You spelled Xerneas wrong

[@clem5419]

Rika Haruno He/she also misspelled Yveltal, Zekrom, and Reshiram.

[@canUfeedMe100]

What did you use to record this, just out of curiosity? I'm researching capture cards for recording game play with live commentary, so any input you could give would be really helpful. I know the 3DS needs a modification for the capture card, but what did you do beyond that as far as editing goes?
