Never before have I related so much to Wile E. Coyote as I have when trying to catch this dastardly creature.

It's awful that you were deprived of feeling the disappointment and frustration of seeing that birb break out of your ball and run away.
On the good side, you didn't have to waste a Golden Berry + Ultra Ball.

Ouch, that must hurt a lot more than missing out on a bergmite!

It's actually a zorua

How do you know? The bergmite issue isn't zorua related, so this one may not be either.

Op said that their buddy was a shadow salamence at the time.

It's actually not

Oh you sweet summer child, one does not simply catch galarian zapdos.
29
Any chance you already had one as a buddy at the time? Because Zorua disguised as galarian bird glitched out like that to me.
27
My buddy is a shadow salamence, one did appear through the walk not on incense that was caught fine.
20
Galarian birds are so hard to catch that I rarely bother with the incense.
24
I rarely bother with incense since its mid winter
16
I go out, in winter, and play outdoors, but still don't use the incense because it disrupts too much of the other gameplay and I never get anything good anyway.
2
I wouldn't go out of my way to use it, but if I'm walking somewhere no harm in using it. No real reason not to use it.

True, I'm just salty after getting so few bird spawns (and all of those running away after a single throw).
8
You can still be salty, but might as well use the incense anyway, even if you don't catch anything at all :) Doesn't hurt!
I finally caught my first one a couple of weeks ago.

Same. I haven’t used one in months - why bother if I have an absurdly low chance at seeing, let alone catching anything cool?
5
Saw one bird. 41 CP. no catch.
2
No touch! only look!
18
Would have fled anyway
3
You won't catch it anyways. 99% flee rate

Lol don’t you know

Galarian Moltres for me. Tried to reboot app, but was gone when i loaded back in.

I'm unable to even see them !

The bergmite issue wasn't a zorua (I know that because it happened to me and I didn't have a bergmite as my buddy), so it's likely this is the same issue.

paralyzed with fear

had a regice this morning that would flee on the first ball.
ofc i couldnt catch him, opened my first ticket hopefully to get my remote raid back.

Did you check your storage to see if you've caught it?
A network error at the time a Pokémon is caught results in the flee animation. If it fled after the first ball, you may have actually caught it. It can't flee until all balls are exhausted.
1
Nope, it wasn't caught, support gave me my remote pass back.
2
Also I caught the wild zapdos in december... on my girlfriends phone :(
she was too giddy and scared to try, i still haven't got one of my own.

Open a ticket with support and demand that they add the message that Zapdos fled to your journal.

I'm unable to catch it without issues.
🤣 Same
