You mean if you can miss it with Poke Balls? It's a possibility in Red/Blue/Yellow, because if a Pokemon has a low enough catch rate, a catch attempt could end up being a complete miss. In later games, though, you can't, although it has a high chance of breaking out without the Poke Ball even shaking.
Go to the Power Plant, enter a battle with Zapdos, lower Zapdos's HP as far as possible, paralyze, freeze, or make Zapdos go to sleep, and throw PokeBalls at it.
the ultra ball is actually the worst ball to try and catch zapdos with, although you would think its the strongest next to the master ball, it really isn't for legendary Pokemon, i would sugjest one, saving before him, and two using pokeballs instead
simple load up on all kinds of pokeballs, and give it a status problem so it will be easier to catch.
the easiest way is to use rock attacks from Pokemon weaker then Zapdos. This way you're weakining it with less of a chance of killing it. You should also use ultraballs instead of pokeballs or greatballs, they have a higher chance of catching it. However, I use pokeballs all of the time, and I catch it most of the time, so it's whatever you prefer.
no one knows. great balls work
uh, well, no certain amount, but PS: Pokeballs work better than anything else! Trust meh! :D I caught all legendary birds with just one three pokeballs, one for each!
Power plant its around rock tunnel opn the cerulean side u surf down the river until u find it there is a maze inside and beware some items are voltorb/electrode
First you must get HM Surf and at least have 5 gym badges. Then go right of Cearulean City and go to the Pokemon Center near the entrance of the Rock Tunnel. Surf at the river there. You'll go down to the Power Plant. Then go into the Power Plant and find your way to the exit. Zapdos will be there. WARNING: SAVE BEFORE FIGHTING ZAPDOS. IF YOU RUN OUT OF POKEBALLS OR KILL ZAPDOS, IT WILL NEVER COME BACK. Enjoy your new Zapdos.
because it depends on the Pokemon you try to catch like rare Pokemon can be with about 3 or 400 pokeballs i think
i dont know maybe cause your stoopid
if u miss ur chance at the power plant..then that's it..u don't get to catch it no more..
