In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the Legendary birds roam the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]. Afterwards, the next wild Pokémon encountered in the grass will always be the respective bird. Only one of the three birds will appear and the one that does depends upon which Kalos starter Pokémon the player picked. If the player chooses {{p|Chespin}}, Articuno will appear, Zapdos will appear to those who chose {{p|Fennekin}}, and Moltres will appear to those that went with {{p|Froakie}}. Unlike previous roaming Pokémon, the birds will automatically flee seconds upon encounter before the player gets a chance to act (Abilities such as Shadow Tag will not prevent this). They flee even before events that happen immediately at the start of the battle, such as {{a|Intimidate}} or the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}} message. After encountering them 10 times (11 if the mandatory first encounter after beating the Elite Four counts), they will retreat to the Sea Spirit's Den in [[Azure Bay]] and remain there as stationary Legendary Pokémon. | In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the Legendary birds roam the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]].

However, if the battle in the Sea Spirit's Den is fled from, the bird will leave and will need to be chased down like before. | ||
If the player uses {{m|Fly}}, the roaming Pokémon will relocate to a random location. Traveling normally, on the other hand, will only provide a small chance for the roaming Pokémon to change routes, and even then it will move to an adjacent route. Furthermore, entering any of the connecting gates between cities (or {{kal|Victory Road}}) may cause the roaming Pokémon to relocate randomly. This appears to be on a timer, however, as immediately pursuing the roaming Pokémon does not seem to cause it to change location. | If the player uses {{m|Fly}}, the roaming Pokémon will relocate to a random location.
