Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo WITHOUT using the Masterba cheats for Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo WITHOUT using the Masterba

Doing these worked for me, and they'll work for you, too!

Catching Zapdos is the easiest, especially if your Pikachu still knows Thunder Wave. After you get Surf and Koga's Badge, go to Route 10 and Surf down to the Power Plant. Navigate through the maze and confront Zapdos. Paralyze it and throw a Great Ball. That should catch it.

Articuno is only a bit harder. It's found in the harder-to-go-through Seafoam Islands. When you find it, use Haunter's Hypnosis or Wigglytuff's Sing to lull Articuno to sleep, then use an Ultra Ball. (It may take a couple tries, but it should work in the end.)

Moltres is quite harder to catch than the other two. It's found in Victory Road (wise to catch it on your way to the Indigo Plateau). Weakening it and throwing an Ultra Ball may do the job, but putting Moltres to sleep will definitely help (I think that's what I did.)

Mewtwo will surely take more than one try, unless your lucky. If Articuno isn't that high-leveled, use Ice Beam to freeze Mewtwo. After that, weaken it, then throw an Ultra Ball. It should be enough to capture Mewtwo.

Now you should have caught the four most powerful Pokemon in the game (besides Mew, but using the glitch, it'll appear at Level 7 and Won't be very hard to catch). Now you can save your Masterball for an absolute emergency.
