    Do any of you rock with the birds?

    I was wondering what Nature, moves, EV Spread..etc... worked best for your bird...

    I haven't battled against any of the birds yet..(IN ONLINE BATTLING) and I'm wondering why,

    I'll post where to find them and how to capture them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Zapdos - Electical Plant [Closest City, Cerulean City]

    How to capture - Use a pokemon that is NOT super effective, but can weaken it enough so it's HP is below 50.

    Note - FIRST SAVE BEFORE ENCOUNTER FOR ALL LEGENDARY POKEMON

    Then use a ultra ball. Eventually you will get it.

    Articuno - Sea Foam Islands [Closest City, Cinnabar Island]

    How to capture - Use a low lvl. electric pokemon, and lower it's HP below 50.

    "Repeat Ultra Ball Step, As Previously Stated."

    Moltres - Victory Road [Virmillion City]

    How to capture - Use a med. lvl ice pokemon, and lower it to 25-40HP.

    "Use the Ultra Ball Method Also."
    Note: People stated before tapping "B" or "A" simutanously, will help capture the pokemon.

    Pokemon Succsess Rate Doing This Is : 63%

    Worth a try I guess, Hope this helps. :)
     
    Articuno@Leftovers
    252 Special Defense, 128 Speed, 128 Special Attack
    Modest Nature
    Roost
    Ice Beam
    Calm Mind
    HP Water/Grass

    Super Sponge. Kill Rhyperior before it kills you.
     
    OK I am a master with Zapdos. He was always my fav untill I started to like Houndoom.

    Ok my Zapdos is LVL 100. And he is holding a magnet which makes him own ever more!!

    Ok now here are the best moves:
    Thunder
    Thunderbolt
    Drill Peck
    Fly

    Mines nature is: Mild

    Here are the stats if you need them:
    Attk:227
    Def:198
    Sp.ATK:302
    Sp Def:233
    Speed:233 (When I was training him, I hoped for higher speed)
    EXP:1250000

    That Zapdos has only been beaten like 2 or 3 times. And when I beat the E4 he was at lvl 51 and he owned everyone. Exept Bruno's Onix's. And all the other E4 victories, he was lvl 100. So if u use my moveset, and stuff you will definatly win everything. BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MAGNET FOR ZAPDOS'S BEST PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!

    Later dude.

    Nacon, you won't battle the birds because they aren't random encounters like Entei/Suicune and Raikou, you have to actively find them.

    Sleep increases the chance of catching and the tiny increase is what you want, especially if you're catching a legendary.

    I did not think this was true. It reminds me of RBY fake cheats.

    when I said fought them, I was talking about in Wifi battles... I have caught the birds twice and I'm working on my LG again, so while doing that, I'll work on the natures I want and such... figured it'd be fun to use 'em...



    ...and maybe I should have specified whether this was ingame or battling other people.... I'm talking about battling other people
     
    i've been running a zapdos w/ choice scarf. fun stuff ^.^

    Zapdos @ Choice Scarf
    Naughty/Rash Nature
    188 ATK/144 HP/48 SP ATK/128 SPD
    -Thunderbolt
    -Drill Peck
    -U-turn
    -Roost/Light Screen

    it hasn't come much use in battle yet, but i love it nonetheless! XD

    as of articuno, it's my favorite of the three (was once my favorite legendary aside mew), but i haven't really come to a means of how to use it best other than the same old roost/reflect/ice beam/heal bell bit.

    hmmmmmm...... I see what you're doing with it... it's nice to see an electric poke that is immune to ground... that's why I'm eyeballing 'dos
     
    Look. Magnet sucks. 10% boost to ONLY Electric attacks, when it should only have one (seriously, what are you accomplishing with 2?) is NOT worth it.

    EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. Saying that you beat lame ingame trainers that NEVER get better isn't a good enough reason to use a set.
     
    Well, Samson gave you a great Zapdos spread. 1/3 done.
     
    The problem with the birds is that both Articuno and Moltres are destroyed with Stealth Rock switching... make sure you have Rapid Spinner on your team with them
     
    umm both Arti and Moltres take 50% damage from Stealth Rock

    try this

    Moltres@Choice Specs
    Timid/Modest Nature
    EVs: 252 Sp Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
    -Flamethrower
    -Air Slash
    -Overheat
    -Hidden Power Ice/Grass

    Gofre, I'm surprised at you! You seem way too good for that noobish advice!

    You know that Sheer Cold is a banned hax move.

    Also, that is a failure combo. As soon as Mind Reader hits, they'll switch on the spot. Or knock you out the spot.
