Pokemon Yellow – How to Catch Articuno with POKEBALL
This is a quite long video of how you firstly find, but also weaken and capture the legendary bird with ONLY A POKEBALL!
REQUIREMENTS:
– One or several Pokemon which know the technique ‘HYPNOSIS’,’SLEEP POWDER’,’SPORE’,’LOVELY KISS’ or ‘SING’ (All sleeping techniques)
[I chose a psychic pokemon with HYPNOSIS since sleep powder and spore are learned by grass pokemon which are weak against flying]
– One or several Pokemon which know the technique ‘FLASH’,’SAND-ATTACK’,’KINESIS’,’DOUBLE TEAM’ or ‘MINIMIZE’ (All INCREASE your pokemon’s ability to evade enemy attacks)
[Again i used a psychic pokemon with FLASH even tho probably the most inaccurate of all of those moves, Hypno stands up well against the birds]
– Minimum of 20 Pokeballs in Item pocket
– Pokemon in party AT LEAST Level 40 [IN ORDER TO USE MOVES TO WEAKEN Birds SIGNIFICANTLY]
– ***SAVE*** IMMEDIATELY Before Approaching the Birds
– A pokemon which has the Technique SURF in order to reach the SEAFOAM ISLANDS located between Cinnabar and Fuscia [VIA FUSCIA SIDE]
– A pokemon that knows the technique STRENGTH in order to move certain BOULDERS located in SEAFOAM ISLANDS
IDEALLY:
– A pokemon that knows FLY in order to get there FASTER than any other way (FUSCIA)
– 6 Pokemon in your party, of varying types, and IDEALLY NOT WEAK against FLYING [NOT GRASS/BUG/FIGHTING]
Also if first time catching the birds *PATIENCE*
THE REWARD IS WELL WORTH IT MY FRIENDS :):):)

The front sprites are pretty good but the back sprites and weirdly pixelated.

December 20th, 2007 at 5:48 am

why cant you just understand that i made these videos to not only CAPTURE but also LOCATE the legendary pokemon OR perhaps just do sumthin else for 5 mins whilst the video loads and skip to the battle….

perhaps the x10 (even the x5) is too much, or else an Ultra Ball would 100% of the time snag an Articuno (catch rate also 3) or Mewtwo on a sliver of health and asleep, which isn’t the case (I saw tossing Ultra Balls on said poke in another Youtube vid, and of course they didn’t work.
January 2nd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
What you just told me is this: Every single Pokémon, even Mewtwo, has a positive catch rate. Mewtwo’s is 3, meaning only a 3 in 256 chance of catching one on full health without status, with only a Pokeball. Great balls get it to 3 in 128, ultra balls to 9 in 256. I think statusing it means x10 or 15 in 128, getting it to a sliver is x5 I think, which is 45 in 128 or roughly 1 in 3

why cant you just start right from articuno instead of going all the way trought the cave?
January 6th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
its weird how pokemons can broke free while thei’re asleep…
January 9th, 2008 at 1:54 am
I caught Mewtwo with ONE Pokéball and without making him fall asleep in my Red version… It’s all about luck, but I don’t think Ultra/Great Ballas are better, I only use Pokéballs anyway. Whatever I try to catch.
January 12th, 2008 at 12:19 am
why cant they just start right from articuno instead of going all the way trought the cave????…. and yeah thats just luck cuz u can catch any pokemon with a pokeball… i played all pokemon games and sometimes i would buy a lot of ultraballs adn i ran out of ultraballs and only a pokeball remains and thats the one that got him…
January 13th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I got it! I got zapdos and now articuno. Now time to get moltres! Great vid 5 stars
January 13th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
I dont know how to get to seafoam island
January 14th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
they were just being retarded with the ground time but obviously, you don’t realize Fire against Ice is Super Effective..
January 15th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
why did u use fire and ground pokemon against an ice pokemon?
January 17th, 2008 at 10:50 am
maybe you caught it because master ball never fails and that is why you can have only 1…
January 18th, 2008 at 10:07 am
