    What can I do if I killed Zapdos and didn't save it in Pokemon FireRed?

    Use a ground-type Pokemon. They can't be hit by its electric moves. I suggest going with Nidoking.

    I used Articuno at lvl 50 hit him one time that left Zapdos at 1hp and used butterferry at lvl 36 to give him sleep powder then I shifted to Charizard with lvl 46 for his health, that is 145 hp and I got Zapdos with only 12 great balls without getting hit or losing any Pokemon (idk if it was my entire life luck)
