i need some help i can't catch articuno my pokemon put it to sleep it still breaks out it only wiggles one time and pop breaks out i need help bad.

You have to get it down to exactly one hitpoint (i recommend using false swipe)... then put it to sleep... dont forget to be patient

 

[rocky505]

none of my pokemon know that i use weak moves like quick attack to get it down i tried paralizing it and still breaks free.

What kind of balls do you use?

 

[rocky505]

ultra,poke,great,premier,and net.

 

[dragonmaster_jonathan]

none of mine knew it either... i think i had to catch a marowak from seven island... then thats when i went after articuno

 

[Mega Trickster]

It doesn't matter what you do, it takes luck. It might take 18756 Ultra Balls or in my lucky case, 1 regular Pokeball.

 

[rocky505]

i have seven badges and have a marowak which alwayys faints in one ice beam

get articuno's health down to red, put it to sleep, then use false swipe... if articuno stays sleeping, then it should work

 

[Poke'Blaze]

I suggest getting a Scyther and evolving it into a Scizzor that nows False Swipe so an ice type attack won't effect it much and also Paralze it or sleep it.

 

[rocky505]

i only have 7 badges.and can't trade.

heeeeeelllllllpppppp ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you try weakening it with things like screech or sand attack or something. A pokemon is more likely to be caught if its stats are lowered and less likely to be caught if its stats are higher. In fact it works better than sleep does alone. Then you can put it to sleep and try to catch it.

 

[~*Nobody*~]

My advise: 1. Make sure you have some time on your hand. 2. Next stock up on POKEballs. 3. go to where it is and save. 4. Next weaken it with a fire pokemon thats under its level. 5. Next throw a Pokeball. 6. If it doesn't work repeat steps 3 through 6 until you have it.

Buy as many timer balls as you can afford. Lower Articuno's health to one using False Swipe. Wait forty turns for max Timer Ball effect. Put it to sleep. Chuck Timer balls at it.

articuno, meh, bad pokemon. i catch it with great ball.

 

[Ajox]

Buy lots of Ultra Balls, and stay throwing if Articuno's HP is in red.

 

[Fish]

I used a Raichu, one T-Bolt and two Slams, paralyzed it with T-Wave and chucked Ultraballs at it.

 

[GrassForStarter]

I used a Raticate, Used Super Fang 3 times, threw out my Venusaur, used Sleep Powder, threw 3 Ultra Balls, caught it.

I'd recommend the timer balls and ultra balls while u r waiting for turns to pass with the timer ball also bring potions and revives so u can last longer and try to get its hp in the red
