Step 5. Save the game before trying to catch Zapdos

  • You will need 30 or more Ultra Balls. Reset to game save point if you accidentally beat Zapdos or run out of Pokeballs.
  • The only offensive move Zapdos has is Drill Peck. This means that it can be easier to catch if you have a Pokémon that is strong against Flying-type attacks. Geodude, Graveler or Golem are suitable because they are Rock type, have strong defense, and are immune to Thunder Wave. Give it Leftovers and use Defense Curl a few times, if you want.
  • Lower Zapdos' blood until it turns red and give him a state of sleep or paralyze before trying to catch him. Sleep and freeze are most effective, but difficult because they are not permanent. Thunder Wave is usually enough.

Tips

  • Do not use Explosion or Self-destruct moves.
  • Bring some level 50-100 Pokémon; Zapdos is very powerful. You'll also need to bring a rock type Pokémon with you.
  • Teach False Swipes to a Pokémon so that Zapdos' blood can be reduced to only 1.
  • Zapdos is level 50.
  • Heal your Pokémon before using Surf.
