  1. If you do not have that, you'll need to find and go to the secret house in the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City.
  2. You'll see water that you can surf on.

  3. Surf on the water until you run into a small island with a building.
    • Save before you do this, for you only have one chance to catch him. Zapdos is level 50, and very hard to catch. If you accidentally made it faint or you ran out of Pokeballs, restart the game.
    • Try both a ground-type Pokémon to weaken him, and a flying-type one to lower his health.
    • Try not to use your Master Ball for this. It is possible to catch Zapdos with an Ultra Ball, so load up on those before you battle.

    It's that dreaded low catch rate of 3. You just gotta keep trying until you catch it.
