well.... I used my Magneton at level 40... did thunderwave and two thunders.. left Zapdos with red hp... threw like 5 or 6 ultra balls and trapped it :D when Zapdos fainted my magneton, i just took out blastoise and since it doesn't know any electric move yet, I just let it drill peck my level 45 blastoise...

I got lucky with a great ball. I just kept throwing ultra balls until I ran out and used a great ball.

I did the exactly same thing when I just Catched my Articuno... Zapdos is hard, but I never tried to paralyze... Wish me luck...

Heh, I just weakened it using Moltres' flamethrower (which knocked it down quite low), then used my Bellsprout's Sleep Powder and started chucking Ultra Balls. It took me a few tries to get sleep powder to work as it had to last 2 attacks from Zapdos. I actually found Zapdos the 2nd easiest of the legendaries (Mewtwo was the easiest for some strange reason O.O).

Marowak learns False Swipe, and being a ground type it is immune to some of Zapdos' attacks. Just be patient... you will catch it. I have a sort of silly personal goal of catching all of the 'save-before-battle' Legendaries with an ordinary Pokeball. So far I caught Moltres and Articuno that way, but I restarted the game without catching the birds in order to try for a Shiny one (whenever I get around to it).

It took about 30 Pokeballs to catch Moltres. :( Since Zapdos is harder, it may take more, but don't worry... it's all up to chance. :P

hey, if ur far enough along that the little shop on island two sells timer balls, USE THOSE. they work better the more turns pass. oh, yeah and also use a pokemon that has the ability 'static' e.g. pikachu, that way it will usually become paralyzed when it uses drill peck.
