Pokemon Let’s Go is filled with plenty of rare Pokemon to catch and train with, including some very special legendary Pokemon. The Kanto region features three legendary birds hidden off the beaten path for players to track down: Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Here is how players can find and catch these powerful birds.

How to Catch Zapdos

Players will be able to catch the legendary birds in the wild, but only after they catch them in their original locations first. Each of the three birds resides in a special location in Pokemon Let’s Go that players must venture to. Zapdos is the easiest to get to, as it only requires the secret technique Sea Skim. Players should head down Route 10 toward Rock Tunnel, where players fought Team Rocket with Lorelei.

Once players have reached the entrance of Rock Tunnel, they should head right and use Sea Skim on the river running next to the entrance. This patch of water is also where players can find the rare Dratini if they are lucky. After following the water, players will stumble upon the Power Planet. Once inside, players simply need to navigate the winding halls to find Zapdos. Once players catch the bird, it will be Level 50.

How to Catch Articuno

Articuno the ice bird is located in the Seafoam Islands. Players will want to go to Cinnabar Island and head east to locate these caves. The secret techniques Strong Push and Sea Skim will be required to reach Articuno. The cave is filled with Ice and Water Pokemon, like Squirtle, so players can stock up if they don’t have many of these helpful Pokemon. As with Zapdos, Articuno will be Level 50 when caught.

How to Catch Moltres

Last up is Moltres, the fire bird. This hothead is located in Victory Road to the west of Viridian City – specifically the caves leading up to the Elite Four. Victory Road is filled with puzzles and trainers that players must overcome, so they should use their best Pokemon and spend their hard-earned money on plenty of items before venturing into these caves. Just like Articuno and Zapdos, Moltres will be Level 50.

After all three legendary birds have been caught, they can be found flying over most routes in the game, but players will need to fly on the back of a Pokemon to reach them. They are specifically found on Routes 1-4, 6-8, 10-19, and 21-25. To get them, players will need to beat the Elite Four and then have Aerodactyl, Dragonite, or Charizard out of their Poke Ball to ride on. This allows players to soar in the sky to find these birds once more, and even get a chance at chaining for shiny versions of these powerful Pokemon that would make a great addition to any Pokemon team.
