Moltres and Articuno

OK, so I have already recruted Zapdos and I ahve beaten moltres about 12 times but he still won't join my team!!!!! I got Zapdos to join the 2nd time I beat him, but this is just getting annoying!!!! Please help!
PS How many times do you have to beat all the other legandaries before they join your team? I already have Kyogre and Zapdos.

Moltres took a long time for me too. Try going to recruit him alone this time or use a Friend Bow (although they are rare and you might want to save it for a different, harder-to-recruit Pokemon.) If you have been trying to recruit a legendary with three members in your team you can't do it because of your team's size.

I got zapdos and moltres easy peasy but articuno won't appear when I get to the 5th floor in frosty grotto why
Guest said: 16th Jan 2017 | REPORT
you have to defeat the main storyline by beating rayquaza then articuno should be there
Guest said: 2nd Dec 2017 | REPORT
No raquaza does not have to be beaten for Articuno
Guest said: 12th Nov 2018 | REPORT
when running as a fugitive, you get to the frosty forest and go to the grotto of it and on the 5th floor he should be there. this is before you go to raquaza and before groudon as well.

Are you sure that you have purchased his friend area yet?? I found a few hidden friend areas as rewards for doing missions....It would be frustrating to battle him so much only to find out that you still needed his friend area XD

Well, legendarys are...extremly stubborn.
I don't think there's a certain amount of times to fight the Pokemon before it joins you...
Maybe, if you throw it's gummi at it, it'll help...I've heard it does.
I'm going to try that gummi thing on Groudon, because it's being a stubborn...!
But it could also be your team's size.
The legendary birds are about **** (4 stars) in size, sooo, that might be doing something.

Hope I Helped Some! ^^"

Yep bro it took me 10 tries to catch moltrese but after the gummy trick I caught it the second time!
Guest answered:

i have heard that if you throw a colored gummi that matches the color of your facing pokemon at it, there will be a 8/10 chance of it being recuited.

Guest answered:

I have groudon,kyorger and zapdos I have a friend bow on everyone of them and through a red gummie at moltres and a blue gummie at articuno. It took me 3 times on each.

Guest answered:

That's almost the same for me, except with articuno. I think I've beat him like 12 times already and he wont join, but I'm going to try the gummy thing. But yeah, a friend bow helps

Guest answered:

Try ho oh not stubborn beat him twice the dungeon has forty floors and his freind area you buy called rainbow peak

Guest answered:

It also depends on the IQ of the leader pokemon. If it's to low the Pokemon wont join. Gummis do help, but I don't know how much. I had to use 4 on groudon but I got him the 2ed try. That's gotta mean something. Also so legendarys want you to have 3 members on you're team or just 1. I've never eard of these friend bows though?

if you try throwing a gummy of the same color you have a 8/10 rate of it joining you.
Guest answered:

A friend Bow helps you get fallen Pokemon to join you. For all legendary Birds this will really help some times it can get Legenday Pokemon to join you this is very importain for Legendary Pokemon Hunters

Guest answered:

The gummi thing dosent work I've tried like athousand times on articuno and moltress each and still havent got them

Guest answered:

I had a long and hard time trying to get moltres too. I got Zapdos and Kyogre before getting it too. I never used the gummies nor the friend bow. I used my Delcatty (my Starter Poke) to beat the Moltres for about 5 times and then I was able to recruit it (Before I had a Blaziken or a Zapdos with me then I realized that the size was too big because of Zapdos) . Remember that the leader Pokemon has to use the last strike, and having Sing Doubleslap linked tog really helps me.

Guest answered:

Gummies only work if you throw the gummi that the legendary likes but you have to throw 2 of them so that they will eat one

Poom3029 answered:

You may need to get to Lucario rank (which is ****ing hard) or level up to way higher levels and have a friend bow (the leader must hold it)

Dethsiezer answered:

Alright for me it is easy I will help- firstly gummy doesnt help I did it with lvl 31 tentacruel with gold rank team firstly rank and lvl helps but also the more damage you deal also helps but by little- and did you check team size you can only get the birds or some other big legend due to SIZE aka my tent was size 1 I even tried to get moltres with zapdos for bout 5 times and it didnt work and first time with my tentacruel so yes you need size 1 team and poke to get creatures size 4 aka zap molt and art ^.^ hoped at least 1 part of this helped because I got them all on first try after noticing size matters

thank you!!!
Guest said: 7th Apr 2012 | REPORT
well if you are using zapdos to recruit moltres, then it is impossible to recruit him, because u cant use a legendary to recruit a legendary. if u use someone else, then there is a 50% chance of getting moltres.
Guest said: 21st Mar 2013 | REPORT
Now u tell me
Guest said: 2nd Aug 2014 | REPORT
u need 1 of the legendary (or normal pokemon) colour gummy because a pokemon can't hold 2 items so defeat it while it is holding the same gummy and you have a 8/10 percent of getting it to join your team. this always works for me !
Guest answered:

Please don't disregard what I'm saying altohugh it soudsn fake -_- if you walk around the room it *GREATLY* increases your chances I couldnt get him either did that no gummys no bow and go him may be a quensidence but I saw it on another site aswell

Yeah. Me too. I found this interesting information (that is to room around - you must stick your pokemon to the wall - the boss area at least 3 times. Viola! I made to join the Lgendary birds with just 2 tries.. How about that?
Guest answered:

Omg I got articuno on my fifth go by throwing blue,sky and clear gummies at it then walking around it little place then finishing it yay so ya throw gummies and walk round the room btw fifth time veering it but first time using gummies and walking.

Guest answered:

A friend bow really helps. I recruited Zapdos with a level 22 Absol. I haven't recruited Moltres or Articuno yet though. But, yes, a friend bow really helps.

Guest answered:

Ok, I've seen that if you say no to a wild poke on's request to join the team you hardly get others unless you high level compared to the others. So if a poke on tries to join tour team... Just a thought it might help. I'm having that same problem. I' through 1 gummi ( red) then walk around the ring and defeat multras(all that is hard and I am wasting Oran berries) and still nothing! Do you have to use your starter Pokemon?

Guest answered:

It seems I do better when I use my starting Pokemon or Partner! The friend bow and level definitely helps (check exact %s on google). Also, going alone helps I get them easily like this. Team Rank might help, but not so sure.

Guest answered:

I got him by hitting him 3 times with a gravel rocl and mudkip

Guest answered:

This worked for me, and I recruited Zapdos and Moltres in one try. I am currently working on Articuno. I also have Kyogre.

Simply go into their dungeon, alone. No team mates. Also, be sure to have a Friend Bow, which should be held by the leader. (Your character). Save in the check point, so if you fail at obtaining them, just shut off your system and retry. Hope this helps some people.

I got zapdos 3rd try by throwing a reviver seed at it straight away and walking around the room and killing it with a level 40 machoke currently working on moltres
Guest answered:

If you need advice always throw the gummy of the same color. Only throw 1 because Pokemon can't hold 2 items

Guest answered:

Zapdos -- Probably the easiest of the lot. It's the lowest level of the birds so, if you have a Friend Bow, and a high level Pokemon (I used my Lv45 Delcatty called Alexis), it'll probably be 50% chance other than 30%.

Moltres -- It's okay to recruit. Didn't have a hard time with it, took 3 times without a friend bow, used the gummi stragegy, either just luck, or it works!

Articuno -- Hard time. I've been trying to recruit it for an hour now, using the gummi strategy, friend bow and more. He's the hardest of the lot, jees.

Kyogre -- 50% chance, Friend Bow will probably make it 60% chance, I got it on the first try.

Groudon -- -10% Chance. Haven't started him yet, hopefully, I'll get him! I have never recruited him before.

Rayquaza -- Same with Groudon.

Dogs -- Beat them first, then go recruit!

Lugia -- 99.9% if you have the right size you'll get him.

A shiny is not worth anything more than my Delcatty <3
