Zapdos is one of the legendary Pokemon which means it's tougher to capture then the wild Pokemon you find easily in the grass but yes you can catch it, you just need time and patience and plenty of ultra balls.
yes ive caught him with an ultra ball....it took forever
It is possible to trade Fire red or leafgreen of other games to emerald with zapdos. Than you got a zapdos on emerald. It can't be caught on wild.
Ultra Ball
first trust me I caught zapdos he is well first go to route 10 where the rock tunnel is go up where the water is use surf and go down and you should find the power plant go in and go through the power plant and zapdos is there and he is so EASY to catch I caught it with a poke ball on my second try.
Zapdos, Articuno,Moltres, Mewtwo,Entei,suicune,and Riakou
For Pokemon Silver catch these three in the wild inside Mt.Silver. Go to the third section of the cave where you fight "RED" and run around until you find them. Zapdos can be caught in the "am" i believe since i got him between 11am and 12pm. Moltres can be caught at night. Articuno i have no idea since i have not yet caught him. actually zaptos is caught near the power plant and articuno is caught at sea foam island. Chobotboy Zapdos: Outside power plant Articuno: Icy bit at Seafoam islands Moltres: Mt. Silver cave, up waterfall
You are either in the wrong place or you have already battled and killed/caught him. You will know if you are in the wrong place if he doesnt appear in your pokedex
Grand Master Greevill has shadow zapdos to catch it weaken it to red hp then paralyze it use many ultra balls when your running out try timer balls i caught it with a timer ball.
There's loads of 'em in the Abandoned Power Plant. Have you caught Zapdos yet?
Go to Canalave City go in to the motel and take a rest and hold in LR and it will be Zapdos.AnswerUnfortunately, as in Pokemon Crystal the Power Plant has been re-founded, Zapdos can no longer be caught in Pokemon Gold, Silver or Crystal. Thus Zapdos can only be obtained in these versions if you trade for it through the Time Capsule.
You catch Zapdos in the power plant by rock tunnel. There should be a level 50 Zapdos. If you want to catch it there is 2 options.1. Waste your master ball.2. Sleep,poison,paralyze,or freeze it, then keep using ultra balls.( it is impossible for a regular pokeball)yep the guy above is correct. Use ultra balls and paralyze zapdos. Buy about 30 to 35 balls but take zapdos to 1 hp before using ultra balls.I caught one with a Great-Ball. I did'nt do anything to the CUTIE Zapdos(look at it's eyes!) It is heathy when i just caught one! I just don't know how to get to the power plant. Ah, my Venasour is AWSOME! PS don't call me guy. I am a girl
Zapdos can be found in the last area of the Power Plant. To catch it, you can certaintly wait until you recieve the Master Ball from the Silph Co. President. Zapdos will be caught no matter what. Otherwise, you will have to train your other Pokemons to at least level 40 or higher to be able to lower Zapdos' HP down (Zapdos is Level 50). Then have a Pokemon that can put Zapdos to sleep which will enable the chance to catch it (Zapdos will dodge the ball if not asleep). It is recommended that you use Ultra Balls to have even a chance to catch it. Stock up on Potions and Ultra Balls, and you should be able to catch Zapdos sooner or later.
