Tips for Catching Legendary Birds:
* Level Up: Your Pokemon should be at least Level 50 to stand a chance.
* Status Conditions: Try to inflict status conditions like Sleep, Freeze, or Paralysis to make catching easier.
* Use Poke Balls Wisely: Ultra Balls are effective, but Timer Balls can be even better if the battle drags on. Dusk Balls are also great for night encounters.
* Save Before Each Encounter: This way, you can reset the game if you fail to catch the bird.
Good luck catching these powerful Legendary Pokemon!
