Visit this section of the map and journey to the Pok\u00e9 Centre. Head north to the edge of the water by the long grass and use your Sea Skim technique to surf on the water.<\/p>\n<p>Now, follow the river south until you reach a lake. Head west and get back on dry land as soon as you can and you&#8217;ll find the Power Plant nearby.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-get-the-sea-skim-technique-in-pokemon-lets-go\">How do I get the Sea Skim technique in Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go?<\/h2>\n<p>To learn the secret Sea Skim technique in Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go, reach Fuchsia City in the main story and head on over to the GO Park Complex. You know, the place where you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/11\/guide_how_to_transfer_pokemon_from_pokemon_go_to_pokemon_lets_go_on_nintendo_switch\">transfer Pok\u00e9mon between Pok\u00e9mon GO and Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, find the surfer standing near a Lapras and have a little chat to him. He&#8217;ll teach you how to use the Sea Skim technique on the spot, which is incredibly kind! Now you can catch yourself a Zapdos.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-catch-zapdos-in-pokemon-lets-go\">How do I Catch Zapdos in Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go?<\/h2>\n<p>If you followed our guide to the Power Plant above, you&#8217;re all set to catch yourself a Zapdos. Enter the Power Plant and reach the northwestern section, where you&#8217;ll find a lonely Zapdos chilling. Touch it to initiate a battle with the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got five minutes to defeat this dude before you can attempt to catch it, so we recommend whipping out any powerful water Pok\u00e9mon you have sitting about to make this battle easier. Zapdos is level 50, so it&#8217;s worth bearing that in mind before you begin. You&#8217;ll need an equally powerful Pok\u00e9mon to tackle this one.<\/p>\n<p>If you manage to defeat it, it&#8217;s time to try catching it. Don&#8217;t worry, you won&#8217;t have to contend with a timer when you get to the catching phase, as just catching the bird is difficult enough. We recommend bringing a bunch of Great or Ultra Balls and some Razz Berries to give you the highest possible chance of catching Zapdos. Now go and give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Did this guide help you catch the legendary Pok\u00e9mon Zapdos? Are you having loads of fun with Pok\u00e9mon: Let&#8217;s Go?
