don't use leech seed, it will kill it ^^; instead just use sleep and get its HP down with attacks. false swipe will get it to 1 HP and no lower, so if you can, try to use that.
and then put it to sleep and throw ball after ball until one of them works. o_o
*nods* I had a easier time catching all the other legendaries combined. In the RBY games and FRLG, I tossed the Master Ball at it. I know it's not recommended but I just find it easier. Even finding the dogs were easier...
Any Pokemon that's very powerful and has False Swipe is your best friend.
It learns it as an egg move. Most of them learn it as an egg move. Farfetch'd and Sneasel are the only ones I can think of that learn it by leveling up. More of them learn it by leveling up, I just can't remember which.
fearow cant learn false swipe, however, against zapdos, a level 47 marowak with false swipe and a lot of ultra balls were my key (lvl 46 cubone found around seven island)
Just weaken it, and throw balls. Now that you can have unlimited [999] balls, you can just chuck your hearts content out! Do something that will produce a psychologicala effect, holding select A B helps your mind A LOT. But nothing more then that. I've seen Zapy caught using select A B, the kid threw 10 balls, my friend and I scoffed, he showed us how to "Master Ball any ball" and caught it, big moral booster for me. :D

Sceptile's the best, since it's the quickest, and (apart from Altaria) has the best Special Defense. Use False Swipe continuously, then switch for a Pokemon with Sleep/Paralysis, then throw Ultra Balls until it's caught. Worked for me. It's the only reason I chose Treecko in Ruby ^_^
i think someone above said use a scyther
i agree, scyther learns false swipe so try that
and good luck ^^
oh scyther is found in the safari zone (fushia city)
I got him down to about 3 HP or lower put him to sleep and then through Ultra Balls and Great Balls (the Great Balls seemed to do better sometimes) and still couldn't capture the darn thing!
use the master ball if you really want a electric pokemon like i did in my previous game (but I made a new one) also you can save him till you meet that girl in 2nd island that sells timer balls which get better the more you use them!
