Legendary Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres Encounter (How to Catch) - Pokemon X and Y

[@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.

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

Do I have to be finished the game?

[@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!

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

[@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...

[@BigBrosFilms]

Took me 2 hours to get him at the sea spririts den, I went there started with a quick ball and immediately caught him!!! :DDD

[@meltyoverdose]

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 ?

[@flipChoco2283]

I had no idea that you could catch them until one popped out of no where but moltres instantly fled.. :/

[@lofilegacies]

i found zapdos withought looking for it ._.)

[@nicolaslillo8515]

blob23ful I also XD

[@ForeverRise99]

Nico X me to lol I've done it a few times

[@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'

[@woopu9531]

"I dont think you can make a pokeball out of berrys" SwSh DLC: "Or can you?"

[@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

[@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!

[@yadhramramjit7128]

I love how MunchingOrange just throws a quick ball and catches a mewtwo the first time..

[@smhgaming3259]

I caught zygarde with ultra ball without any damage

[@EnderoftheEnd]

i wanted Zapdos because it's based off my favourite native american legend (Thunderbird). That, and i'm a flying type trainer. I didn't even know you got them based on what starter you chose, luckily i picked Fennekin then! :P Anyway, thanks. that thunderbird was getting annoying to track down

[@Taevarth]

oh....i wanted zapdos......i picked froakie, to negate charizards weakness.

[@NothingProductiveProductions]

I've been doing this for like 2 hours and have found him twice WTF

[@jordanbarton1624]

Same.

[@pnkqt]

I just got him to the cave, was like 7 hours for me. (With breaks.)

[@VoIkov]

Use the pokedex to track him down it is a Better way to encounter him more

[@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.

[@KatietheSonicFan]

For some reason I've only ever found Zapdos at route 21.Today I was doing training there and I encountered Zapdos twice, lol.XD

[@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?

[@HotaruYT88]

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

[@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 ='(

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.

[@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.

[@SenecaGray]

The worst starter for the best bird, the best starter for the worst bird, and the meh starter for the useful but ugly bird. Compensation, I guess.

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

[@pappappappap1]

I caught mewtwo with a poke'ball. :D

[@Shadow-fi8fx]

I did to in Let's Go

[@theforestrogueaj5818]

I am trying to find my Zapdos, but it says that he is in one place, and i ride my bike all the way over there, then he moves. its really frustrating. what can i do so he will stop?

[@JavIin]

Did you actually watch the video or not? Literally keep going in and out of Santaloupe until you find him.

[@theforestrogueaj5818]

Yeah. i did. but he didnt move T.T thats why i try to follow him. Ive caught him already now.

[@variares1114]

I'm also trying to find zapdos and it is always moving and this strategy is not working

[@narutofroever]

Peter Nguyen Agreed. Damn kid just wants views.

Did you head to the cave? You mightve already encountered it enough times. If you havent found it at all, youre not far enough in the game yet (e4 beaten)

[@LinkMountaineer]

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?

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

I HAS ZAPDOS

[@galaxy_gaming420]

i tried and did it right but does not work

[@gquackstery888]

using repels?

[@26magicman26]

To give anyone else an idea of what it took .... My legendary bird is Zapdos.. for me, It took about 100 Super Repels going in and out of Route 4 (i had only seen it once prior)... i fought it at the Sea Spirits Den using my Parasect cause it has false swipe and spore :) it took around 20 Luxury balls to catch Zapdos. i realize the catch rate of luxury balls is as low as a normal pokeball, but i love the black looking ball and just had to ^.^

That's why you always save before fighting stationary legendaries, and that's how I caught Yveltal, Zygarde, and Mewtwo all in Pokeballs :)

Anti matterhut yeah. It may have high special attack, but its' defense stats are pure garbage and thanks to the Fire/Flying typing, it will be taken out with any rock type attack, maybe even one hit from Rock Blast.

right after watching this video I picked up my old pokemon y game. haven't played it in forever. I spent around 37 hours playing the game, beating it, catching a few of the rares, then stopped playing. I turn it on, leave the pokecenter and as soon as I enter the grass I run into moltres. I've beaten this game twice(out of boredom) and I've even beaten pokemon X. until a little while ago i didn't even know the legendary birds were in it. my point is, until this video, after all the time I've spent playing these games I have never run into a legendary Bird.

[@mikeseitz1381]

I'm not sure about this guide, tried it with no luck. However, I did find a similar method that worked quite well. Find a route near a city that your legendary bird frequently visits. Fly to that city, check your pokedex, repeat. Once you see your legendary bird on a route adjacent to the city just go find your legendary bird.
