Holy X-Men, Batman! I had no idea that you could get it in X, so I was just exploring in Terminus Cave, more or less minding my own business trying to find some pokemon that I might have missed, and I practically bumped into it! I'm wondering what it is, so I save my game just in case, and then went to town on it. I had a Master ball available, but I figured I'd try without it. It took about 25 timer balls, and about 10 other types, but I finally caught it.

Then shortly after that, Moltres flew in and then fled. I'm off to see the wizard to see if he has any words of wisdom for catching some more cool pokemon!

EDIT: Yeah, I don't know why, but I was under the impression you might not be able to get that legendary until Pokemon Z came out! I'm glad I was wrong.
 
Hmmm, sounds good. I guess I was able to keep something as a nice surprise (for myself - not for everyone else). Now I'm just curious what else I didn't hear about that is new and cool!
 
My main gripe is there is not much else to do once you finish the game. I was super happy to run into zapdos. It had a timid nature and 3 31 IVs in the wrong stats. It makes it special though.
 
The legendries' have at least 3 31 IV's, which I good and all- but the nature I am not certain on if they are set or not. I have not made it that far other then catching Xernies- which I did not retry catching. (didn't use MB)

I have only ran into Moltres once- but neither of the other two yet.

I like my special Zapdos. It having bad speed and special attack IVs make it unique. But I perfer the 31s in HP and Defense I guess. Still I cant wait to get my perfect Zapdos in the game.
 
I won't lie, if I had known before that the bird trio were tied to your starters, would've dropped Froakie in a heartbeat for Fennekin because let's face it, Zapdos is the only worthwhile legendary bird.

To tell you the truth, its not really in this game. Its moveset is so bad. It does not learn anything but thunder moves, no good tm moves or move tutors. When I use my Zapdos, I find myself switching all the time because it cant do anything other then thunderbolt. Of course if you dont mind using Roost, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch and Light Screen, then go and get yourself a Zapdos.
 
That's somewhat disappointing. However, I do enjoy the game so far, so bad stats and/or movesets on one particular pokemon won't ruin my day.



EDIT: For some time now, I had planned on picking up the opposite game - Pokémon Y (from my current Pokémon X). Now I have a fairly decent reason to do so, to get Yveltal, Tyrantrum, and the legendary birds and starters that I missed out on with just one copy of the game. And I suppose if I get that copy soon, I can pick up another copy of the mystery gift Torchic for trading! When does that special Torchic event end anyway?

New info: from the global link website I've learned that the torchic with Blazikenite distribution will end on Jan 16, 2014. So if you don't pick up yourpokemon by then, you may be outta luck.

You do know you could have checked your Zapdos and kept catching it again and again until you got the one you wanted right?

I realize you could have kept catching it until you got what you wanted, but to get a "PERFECT" Zapdos? That might be a bit hard wouldn't it?

I know I could have. I planned on doing that but I already have like 5 perfect zapdos. This is just one to get me by until I get my pokes from black 2.
 
How did you end up getting 5 perfect Zapdos? Isn't that something like asking for a perfect spouse? LOL. Hope my wife doesn't see this post!
