pokemon yellow

i have beat all of the gym leaders (giovanni is the last one), but i havent caught any of the legendary birds yet. so i went to the power plant, and my last save point was 'zapdos wants to fight!'

my current pokemons:
nidoking lvl 52 with thrash, tackle, horn atk, double kick
diglett lvl 25 with scratch, sand attack, dig, fissure
ivysaur lvl 26 with poisonpowder, cut, leech seed, vine whip
pikachu lvl 41 with thundershock, quick attack, thunderbolt, thunder
aerodactyl lvl 30 with wing attack, agility, fly
lapras lvl 24 with water gun, mist, surf, ice beam

i have 9 ultra balls, and nothing else (to catch pokemon with). am i totally screwed? every time i throw balls (and i restarted at least 10 times) it misses every time.

thank you so much for your help! :D much appreciated :)

You have it down to 1HP, you can't put it asleep... just keep trying is all I can say. You will catch it eventually, you just have to wait until you get lucky. Patience is the key here, unless you want to go somewhere else and get yourself a sleep user. Patience is a virtue my dear boy!
