Tips For Encountering And Catching Galarian Birds In Pokémon GO!

[@Stonebrek]

I finally encountered a Moltres. It had 34 CP. Golden Razz, Ultra Ball, Excellent Curveball Throw. Broke free, ran away. Feels bad, man.

[@droughtussalt]

dw happened to me. twice.

[@samovargos1349]

Frrr😭😭😭

[@JDizzle21420]

The trick is to waste 10 balls without hitting the mon. The 11th ball will catch it

[@samovargos1349]

@@JDizzle21420 i feel like this will not work💀

[@JDizzle21420]

@@samovargos1349 Everyone is calling it the 10 ball trick. I only found out about it after I got poofed on and haven't had a chance to try it out yet. It's worth a shot if you really need the mon

[@PokePOGOPlayer]

I’m sad I missed a Galarian Artucino because it spawned when I was walking across a street.

[@jacksonsonnenberg7659]

Trust me the medical bills will be worth it

[@PokePOGOPlayer]

Scratch that a highway

[@ryanhelm1813]

Like 1-2% chance of catching it, that's including crit catch chances, prolly wasn't worth it 😅

[@nohmm6151]

Same happend to me bro I was on a road trip and saw a Galarian articuno but it was to far away

[@ryanlawson6411]

A catch would have been worth getting hit. 😅

[@terrencecheung7019]

I saw a Moltres, it flew away, and then 30 sec later, another Moltres showed up. Well that flew away too.

[@yourmum8686]

I feel your pain

[@lightseraphim6816]

Same thing happened to me with Zapdos. I thought it was a glitch.

[@rikleferink]

😂

[@deviousj5868]

My alt account has 2 of the three. But my main account runs into the Articuno more than the other two.😅

[@GlitchyGhasts]

Dw bro i caught a wild galarian bird for you. The rarest one, STARLY! With only a 0.0003828101% of catching and 100% flee rate. This is a joke. I never caught a galar bird.

[@thetwilightpug8778]

Didn’t even know you could encounter them until a Galarian zapdos appeared for me It fled though

same here and scared the shot outta me

[@jameshersom2536]

[@Marineford2000]

had that yesterday, it was like 500cp but still ;(

[@uickpoi918]

And using ur best buddy it will assist on ur catch

[@pogotrnr]

thats a good point!

[@agenericapplebutold5495]

doesn't increase odds, but it might help less skilled people with getting a great/excellent throw, though i don't know have many people can't do that and have a great buddy

[@GreenWing-]

@@agenericapplebutold5495I’m one of them 😔

[@jimi6335]

The truth is nothing will improve ur chance only an ultra ball will,, the game has a set amount of criteria written into it's code catch rates ect this stuff he's spouting is silly

[@Mr._.Random]

This morning I got a Galarian Zapdos 3000 cp and I hit it with a great throw and I caught it

[@DileDude92]

Two days ago I was taking a walk and a Galarian Articuno spawned. I threw a curved ultraball without landing a nice, great, or excellent, expecting it to rip out and flee as it always does. But this time, not only did I catch it, I caught it on a critical capture. I couldn't believe it what happened. The only thing that kinda sucked that I already used my master ball on another Galarian Articuno, but it was still an awesome moment and probably one of the best highlights of my seven years of pokemon go experience.

[@aaron4504]

Articuno is the one that keeps getting away from me! 😂 I’ve seen three times now I’ve hit a great and an excellent curve with a golden berry ultra ball. It still jumps out.

[@user-bz6gh5ng2m]

Galarian Zappos is sick looking

[@barbro6525]

I started playing nearly 2 months ago, and today I had my very first encounter with a Galarian bird today. Rainy, windy and daily incence. Believe it or not, but one silver pinap berry and one Ultra ball later, Zapdos checked in to my pokedex. Let the rest be just as easy 😅

I once encountered a Galarian Moltres (recently) and a Galarian Articuno (when i first started playing the game), i didn't manage to catch them but it felt amazing and it was still worth it for me.

I have seen a galarian moltres but he gone

I was looking for this... Thanks 🙏

[@nasimadolly1108]

I have never had a master ball . I was too hard to get it and i have studies to do.. so, was unable to complete the research.. But i caught 1 galarian Articuno and 1 galarian Moltres with ultra ball😊

I have found a total of five galairian birds, first a zapdos that ran, a moltres that I caught with normal razz and ultra ball, zapdos the same day as the moltres on a daily incence, another zapdos around the area of my home, and finally another zapdos while driving. Do not worry somebody else was driving.

Every time I’ve thrown an excellent throw it’s an automatic pop out of the ball and flee but when it’s a nice or great throw always out wiggles twice😢

It took me about a year to catch them all. First Articuno after 6 months, then Zapdos maybe 2,3 weeks after Articuno and last was Moltres when they added masterball. I was going daily no matter what. It paid off.

[@jordanharrelson8500]

I've managed to get Arti and zapdos, moltres is the last one I need. Not that I condone it, but another fun fact. Driving will certainly create distance and while pokemon usually don't spawn cause you're going too fast. the adventure pokemon will still spawn and will despawn faster from getting out of range.

[@Toodleypops]

I've tested this and they'll still spawn and be catchable at 60mph. Not at 70+ though

[@aheimbig]

This. This right here is the single most likely way to get Niantic to listen to the idea that this setup is DANGEROUSLY DUMB! Their stated goal is to get us to explore, but their asinine "has to be in a straight line" bit makes distracted driving a FAR more effective spawn strategy than exploring my neighborhood, my work, the local parks, the 3 closest malls, the closest mountain range, and the nearest national park and national forest and national recreation area because the road is in a straight line and NONE of the others are (most not even close!). Extreme scarcity leads to extreme min/maxing, which incentivizes dangerous and illegal behavior here.

[@lepuscarcharodon2476]

I encountered a wild galarian Zapdos, 361 cp or something and I didn't have a master ball, ultra ball, or golden razz because I recently just started last month. It unfortunately fled which I saw coming.
