    How do I go back to my saved point after accidentally defeating it?
    Community Answer
    Shut down the game then restart it again. If you saved before attacking Articuno, then it should start you where you saved.

    Use your strongest Pokemon against it until you get it down to 10 HP. Then, put it to sleep and catch it.

    Zapdos is in a power plant, and Moltres is at Mt. Ember. To catch them, get HM surf and HM fly.

    I play on an Emulator. Will this affect anything that happens in the process?

    No, I do too and it's all the same (but it's still really hard to catch Articuno).

    You can't in the games. Even if you don't like the Pokemon and you put it away, it will still obey you.

    If I catch Articuno, will it obey my orders?
    Community Answer
    Yes, because Pokèmon always obey you unless you're not nice to them or you trade them.
  • Question
    I have beaten the Elite Four, but I cannot catch Suicune. How can I find it?
    Community Answer
    You have to have Charmander as your starter Pokemon to catch Suicune. If you do, just keep walking around in grass in various places and it should appear at some point. Its location is random.
  • Question
    How do I get Articuno if I ran out of Pokeballs?
    Community Answer
    You can't. Save the game before fighting so you can try again. With every retry, bring 10 more Ultra Balls and start with 20.
  • Question
    I've gotten Articuno down to less than 10HP and paralyzed. I've used about 40 ultra balls and still won't catch. Any other ideas?
    Community Answer
    If you really want Articuno use the master ball, but otherwise keep trying ultra balls or use a cheat code for infinite master balls like I have.
  • Question
    Where is Articuno found in Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green?
    Community Answer
    It is located at the Seafoam Islands south of Fuchsia City. From the Fuchsia City Poké Center, walk/bike down the screen until you hit the shore. Using HM03, Surf to the left of the screen where barriers are placed, which then lead you towards the left. Start going left alongside the barrier until you stumble upon a shoreline where you are able to get on. This is Seafoam Island, and the rest of the process is explained up above.
  • Question
    How do I get to the other entrance?
    Community Answer
    Go to Cinnabar and Surf to the right. There is the other entrance of Seafoam Islands.

    How can I find Entei?
    Community Answer
    You would have needed to have Bulbasaur as your starter Pokemon in order to catch Entei, then search anywhere in tall grass. It will appear randomly.
  • Question
    Will Articuno reappear if I accidentally kill it when I first encounter it?
    Community Answer
    Unless you've soft-saved (the process mentioned above when you save before battling and then if you fail to catch it, you can reset), then no.
  • Question
    How do I catch Entei?
    Community Answer
    You have to have Bulbasaur as your starter. Entei is at a random location, and it is at level 50.
