If it says you missed the Pokemon, you cannot get them. This happen to me before.

You catch them with poke balls but if you kill it then you can't get a 2ed chance to catch it.

Hope I help

Well, first off, even though you probably already know this... Articuno is deep in the seafoam islands, zapdos is in the power plant, and moltres is near the end of the cave before the Pokemon leage.

Now, to catch them. If it says you missed the Pokemon, this probably means that it's still too strong. I would suggest paralyzing, freezing, or burning, and get the health down to like below 10hp. If this still wont work, just keep throwing ultra balls or poke balls. It took me and my sister like literally 50 ultra balls to catch articuno, so just be patient.

NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE BEFORE FIGHTING THEM, BECAUSE IF THEY DIE, YOU WONT GET A SECOND CHANCE.
