Step 5. Save your game before attempting to capture Zapdos

  • You will need at least 30 Ultra Balls. Load the last save if you accidentally defeat it or run out of Poké Balls.
  • The only offensive move that Zapdos knows is Perforbecco. This means it becomes easier to catch if you have a Pokémon that resists Flying-type attacks. Geodude, Graveler or Golem are perfect for this fight, because they are Rock-type, have a high defense value and are immune to Thunder Wave. Equip them with Leftovers and use the Shroud Curl a couple of times if you wish.
  • Reduce Zapdos's health to the red zone and inflict a status such as sleep or paralysis on him before attempting to capture him. Sleep and freezing are the most effective negative states, but they are difficult to use because they are not permanent. Usually it will be enough to hit him with Thunder Wave and paralyze him.

Advice

  • Raise some Pokémon to level 50-100 Zapdos is very powerful. You should also bring a rock-type monster with you.
  • Don't try to use Explosion or Self-Destruct.
  • Teach 1 of your Pokémon the False Finisher move, leaving Zapdos at 1 HP.
  • Zapdos is level 50.
  • Heal your Pokémon before using Surf.
