Not only is it the strongest Pokémon in the game, but when you find it, it's already at Lv 70.  If you don't have the {{DL|Poké Ball|Master Ball}}, this is going to be even tougher than catching the [[legendary birds]].  Like with any legendary, SAVE THE GAME before approaching it; with only one shot, you don't want to mess this up.  Most damage you inflict will probably be healed right away, since it can use {{m|Recover}} up to 10 times.  His only real weakness is {{type2|Bug}} moves, so a {{m|Pin Missile}} attack from a high-level {{p|Beedrill}} or {{p|Jolteon}} could prove useful, though his {{m|Psychic}} move can decimate the health of any non-{{type2|Psychic}}.  You may want to dispatch the legendary birds against him, since he is the only thing stronger than the trio.  If you do have the Master Ball, than all you have to do is throw it right away; don't even bother battling with it.  A good strategy to catch it without the Master Ball is to use {{p|Articuno}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{p|Zapdos}}' {{m|Thunder Wave}}, or {{p|Moltres}}' {{m|Fire Spin}}, since each of these attacks can immobilize the creature temporarily.  After all of that, make your way back to the exit (or use an [[Escape Rope]] to visit the most-recently used Poké Center).
