Articuno Help
I found Articuno, and I got its hp so close that you can hardly tell it had any, I also put it to sleep and when that wore off, paralyzed it. I used 27 ultra balls on it when it was in those conditions with almost no hp and it still wouldn't be caught!
Anyone else have this problem? |
Believe it or not, I became incredibly bored to day and decided to catch Articuno on LG. You're doing everything right, it's just a matter of slim chance whether any certain ball will work. By sheer chance I got mine after paralysis, heavy damage, and 15 Ultra Balls. Either keep trying, or if it continues to fail, go to Two Island for some Timer Balls and stall Articuno as long as you can.
|
I asked this question in Simple Questions, but uh:
Where do I go to get him? What do I do to get him? |
I think out of the three birds, articuno is the hardest on to catch
|
Deathscape he's found in the seafoam islands, and once you get there here is a map to reach him : http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=73711&rid=68128

I have to say that the only way to catch the Legendary Birds, or any hard-to-catch Pokemon is: be persistant. Keep trying, lower its health, throw heaps of Poke-bals, different ones too, mixing up combinations, status moves. It is possible to catch them, otherwise there would be no point. Patience.
|
In my experience, you'll never catch a Legendary bird unless it's asleep or has been paralysed. Even then, it's a hard task. All you can do is buy as many ultra balls as you can, or use a master ball.
|
if you try hard enough they aren't that hard just be patitent.
|
jc rcw? I heard Moltres was the hardest to capture. Legendary Birds I got Artincno on FR.
|
Yeah I guess i'll try throwing my 27 ultra balls again...
I've already got the other 2 birds, but Moltres was probably the easiest to catch for me.. Although I did catch Mewtwo in only 3 ultra balls, so maybe that's come back to haunt me... lol |

This is probably a stupid question but, where do you get nest balls?
|
The only ones in fire or leaf are hidden in giovannis room in the rocket hideout I think. But once you have collected one and if you are at the point where you can fight the 2nd wave of the elite four then you can buy them from one of the islands (can't remember which) for $1,000 each. lternately you can import them form ruby and sapphire. This will also allow you to buy them from the same place.

Yes, nest balls can be bought at the mart on Island 2, but only after you've beaten the elite four a number of times (not sure how many) The mart adds new items to it's list at intervals: they also end up stocking soda pop, lemonade and lava cookies, for those who want cheap status healers
|
Mmhmm, I think it takes two defeats of the Elite Four in order to get all available items on Two Island. If you still need Articuno and can't seem to get it, you may just have to bite the bullet and get through the Elite Four twice.
|
i caught all my lengendary birdys with out doing a condition. Zapdos 9 ultraballs 1 pokeball, Moltres 1 ultraball, Articuno 33 pokeballs 2 ultraballs
|
It just The matter of luck. Keep on trying and you will get it.
For me its articuno who the hardest too catch |
Yea I finally got Articuno last night! It took me like 10 ultra balls and 5 great balls, but it was worth it! I just used all the balls leftover from my catching mewtwo preparation. :D I guess it was bad luck the first 2 times using all 27 ultra balls... lol
|
It took me 16 or more Ultra Balls to catch my friend's Articuno for her then I acted like it fainted (she almost threw up). Moltres was easy to catch because I used a Masterball but then caught Articuno (2nd) and then destroyed Zapdos,then *pant* caught Mewtwo with Ultra balls. Also Articuno was a 85% easy for me to catch it. I always remebered the huge boulders that were kinda tricky the first time.
|
oh holy camoly, u used ur master ball on moltres. i used my at my lengendary doggy. u shouldn't do that, that's my suggestion. well i don't care if you do that. i was amazed to see the first kid that use master ball on a normal lengendary. and my friend used is master ball on a magikarp for REAL. but he started a new game.
|
I save my Master Ball for the first shiny I encounter in the game (except on RSE, when it's reserved for [email protected]) My Shiny Venonat on LG was captured by a master ball, but for good reason--all my pokemon would have koed it in one hit, and I only had great balls and a nest ball with me. It was cautionary.
Congrats on your big catch, Legendary Birds. I knew you could do it. |
So you're not the only one. I have that problem, too. And Articuno is actually my favorite out of Zapdos, mOltres and himself!
