    I caught all of that creepy yellow eyed old man's pokemon. I need to catch Artocuno, Moltres, and Zapdose. I cant !@#$%ing catch them. I had Moltres down to 1 HP and I still couldn't get them to stay in the ball. I use Ultra balls, I dont know where to find any better ones.
     
    Get your hands on 30-40 Ultra balls and half a dozen Timer Balls.

    Use up all your Ultras, and then start chucking Timers, as by that stage, they'll be stronger.

    And be patient. The legendary birds have a ridiculously low catch rate. If you're unlucky it can take well over 100 balls.
     
    Eeh, which game?

    And best to paralyze them with low HP. Have a pokemon with a good special defense to stand in battle. And 8-10 Timer Balls for each bird.

    That basically works.
     
    Considering Shadow Moves run off of attack and not Special attack, you want something with high defence, not special defence.
     
    ok first did you try paralizing or put them to sleep. that always helps. and i used a timer ball to catch all of his pokemon. they all caught pretty easilly.

    Yah which game is this??
    Yellow man's pokemon??
    i havent played this game or i have not discovered everything in a game i have played.

    OR i just forgot about the game
     
    I levelled up the Houndoom you catch early on (Charm rocks). Also, use the Shroomish, level it up to L54 to get Spore then evolve. It also starts with False Swipe, so you can get it down to 1 HP easier.
     
    I found this on a walkthrough:

    At the beginning of the battle, switch Salamence for Lugia and have
    Electabuzz use Shadow Half. You need to do this first, otherwise Rhydon
    might use Shadow Hold to lock your Pokemon. On the second turn, have
    Lugia
    use a Lemonade or Moo-Moo Milk on Electabuzz to restore its HP. It's
    extremely important that you keep Electabuzz alive. On the third turn,
    either heal Lugia or throw a Ball at the Rhydon (catching it is important
    due to its annoying moves), and have Electabuzz use Shadow Half again.
    Next, have Lugia use a healing item on Electabuzz, unless it has under 30
    HP. On the next turn, Moltres should be at 25% HP and Exeggutor at 50%.
    Have Lugia use a Moo-Moo Milk or Hyper Potion on itself, and Electabuzz
    use Shadow Half again. If Exeggutor uses Shadow End to knock out
    Electabuzz or Lugia, just send out Salamence and use a Revive on it, then
    switch out for it next turn. Once Exeggutor has around 15-30% HP, use an
    Ultra Ball to catch it. This should be around Turn 5 or 6. Have
    Electabuzz
    use Shadow Half when you throw the Ball, so you'll half the next
    Pokemon's
    HP. Once the Tauros comes out, you'll be in good shape. Lugia will likely
    be weak around now, so use a Hyper Potion on it to bring it back to
    health
    while you wait for Electabuzz to recharge. Next turn, Moltres will be
    under 10% HP, and Tauros will be at 50%. Have Lugia use a Lemonade on
    Electabuzz, and Electabuzz use Shadow Half. Tauros should be at 25% HP,
    and Moltres should be very weak (under 7%). Tauros' only attack move is
    Shadow Rush, so you don't have to worry about it too much. At this point,
    throw an Ultra Ball at Moltres and hope to catch it. If it's under 5% HP,
    chances are you're going to catch it on your first Ultra Ball. If you
    don't catch it, have Electabuzz throw Ultra Balls at it instead of use
    Shadow Half while Lugia heals. When the Articuno comes out, start using
    Shadow Half again. Don't worry about Tauros, although be ready to
    administer Ice Heals or Full Heals in case Articuno's Shadow Chill
    freezes
    you. Electabuzz may be knocked out again. This happens. Just remember to
    send out Salamence, and have Lugia use a Revive or Max Revive on
    Electabuzz while Salamence switches for it, otherwise Shadow Hold may get
    you. Use the Shadow Half + Heal tactic to get Articuno down to 12.5% HP,
    and then start throwing Ultra Balls at it on Electabuzz's turn. If at
    12.5% HP Articuno doesn't stay in the Ultra Ball, use Shadow Half again
    to
    almost ensure it being caught. Once Articuno has been caught, you only
    have to worry about Zapdos. Before you use Shadow Half to start hitting
    Zapdos, throw an Ultra Ball to catch the Tauros while you have Electabuzz
    use Shadow Half. Tauros should have less than 5% HP left and should be
    caught with one Ultra Ball. With Tauros out of the picture, you only have
    to worry about one attack per turn, and that's Zapdos. Unfortunately
    Zapdos has very high Special Attack, causing Shadow Bolt to do a lot of
    damage, but still less than Shadow Chill + Shadow Rush combined. Shadow
    Half + Heal until Zapdos is at 6.25% HP, and then start lobbing Ultra
    Balls at it. If Zapdos hits Lugia on the turn Electabuzz uses Shadow
    Half,
    you can toss an Ultra Ball at it on the next turn to hope to get lucky if
    you want, because it will take two non-critical hits for Zapdos to knock
    out Electabuzz at half HP. Once Zapdos is at 6.25% HP (after 4 uses of
    Shadow Half), if you have a Pokemon that can inflict Sleep or Paralysis
    on
    Zapdos, stop healing Electabuzz and wait until it faints so you can send
    that Pokemon out. Continue using Shadow Half, but have Lugia throw Ultra
    Balls at Zapdos instead of healing Electabuzz. Eventually, Zapdos will
    stay in the Ball, and you will have caught all 6 Shadow Pokemon in one
    battle!

    Cheap and Boring way:
    Switch the Electabuzz for Lugia, and then just stall for about 40 turns.
    Use healing items to restore your Pokemon's health, and keep track of how
    many turns have passed. After 40 turns have passed, weaken all of
    Greevil's Pokemon with your Shadow attacks and then throw Timer Balls
    when
    they're at about 50% HP. You should be able to catch all of them with
    about 10-15 Timer Balls, although bring 25-30 just in case.
