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.
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! ^^"
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.
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.
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
Try ho oh not stubborn beat him twice the dungeon has forty floors and his freind area you buy called rainbow peak
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?
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
The gummi thing dosent work I've tried like athousand times on articuno and moltress each and still havent got them
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.
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
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)
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
If you need advice always throw the gummy of the same color. Only throw 1 because Pokemon can't hold 2 items
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
