    Where does Zapdos go if I run out of Pokeballs or faint and am not able to catch it?

    Community Answer
    It disappears from the game. Knocking out Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, or Mewtwo removes them from the game completely. That's why you should save your game before trying to catch it, as recommended under Warnings at the end of the article, so if you fail, you can restart and try again.

    Because they have to be either paralyzed or asleep. The Pokémon has to have some sort of status, so the Pokeball doesn't miss.

    Community Answer

    Yes, you can use it for any Pokemon. You just need to follow the mew glitch steps, but battle a different trainer than the youngster, depending on the Pokemon you want to catch's index number (not its pokedex number).
