Locations on legendary birds & how to catch them!
Moltres is on top of one Island Mt. Ember. You will need Surf to get there and Strength to solve the puzzle. Once you get there, save in case you accidentally kill it. Now, time for tips on catching Moltres!
I recommend using Rock or Water types for this battle. Keep using either Surf or any strong water type attack.If you use rock types for this battle, I would recommend using Rock Blast, etc.Once the HP of Moltres goes into yellow-red zone, use a status problem. DO NOT use poison or burn as it will lead to fainting.I prefer using Spore as it is very accurate. Once it's asleep or paralized, chuck Ultra balls. Obviously you should not use Master ball.
Time for Zapdos. You'll need surf. Then go Rock Tunnel. Go up and you'll see water
That is surfable. Surf until you reach land. Beat the guy who challenges you and move on.The PowerPlant itself is an easy puzzle. Just run around till you reach Zapdos. Same thing with Moltres, do not poison or burn it. If your stupid enough to do it, then you do not deserve to catch it. Anyway,I suggest using Vaporeon for this one but if you don't have one, use your Lapras that you got in Silph Co.
Keep using Ice Beam, Aurora Beam any move that is ice. But don't use Sheer Cold as it is a one hit KO attack. Again, when it is in yellow-red zone, chuck Ultra Balls till you catch it. That's all for Zapdos.
Now for the final legendary Bird, Articuno.Articuno for me was quite easy. I used Charizard. Two Flamethrowers were enough for it to go to deep-deep red zone.
I just used two Ultra Balls and found it as enough. You could use any Fire type you like, just don't overdo the fire-power. Once you catch it, Voilla! You have all three legendary birds! But don't use them for Elite Four okay?
