Legendary birds: Difference between revisions

In FireRed and LeafGreen, the legendary birds retain their placement from Generation I, with the exception of Moltres, which has been moved to [[Mt. Ember]] in the [[Sevii Islands]] from Victory Road.

While it is impossible to capture the legendary birds in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, they can be found [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] the Sinnoh region in Platinum. The player may encounter them after visiting Pal Park and then speaking to Professor Oak in Eterna City.

The legendary birds appear once more in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and much as before, are in the same locations as before except for Moltres, who has moved once again, to [[Mt. Silver]]. Also due to the Power Plant no longer being abandoned, Zapdos is found outside the Power Plant and will only appear once all 16 Badges are acquired.

In X and Y, one bird roams around Kalos while the rest are absent. The bird that appears depends on what [[starter Pokémon]] is chosen at the beginning of the game: Articuno will roam if players choose {{p|Chespin}}, Zapdos will roam if {{p|Fennekin}} is chosen, and Moltres will roam if {{p|Froakie}} is chosen. It appears on random routes after the player beats the [[Pokémon League]] and cannot be battled, but once it is found ten times, it retreats to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]] where it can be battled.
