Pokemon GO: Zapdos Stats

With an electrifying combination of lightning-fast moves and soaring abilities, Zapdos is a force to be reckoned with. This magnificent creature boasts a max CP of 39871, 253 ATK, 185 DEF, and 207 STA1. 

The newly discovered Galarian Zapdos also takes things to a new level with a staggering max CP 4012. 

Pokemon GO: Zapdos Moveset

Zapdos unleashes its power with two of the best moves in its arsenal: Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt. These moves pack a punch with a DPS of 14.091, ensuring opponents are left stunned in battle.

Galarian Zapdos in Pokemon GO, its variant, brings a new set of moves. Counter and Brave Bird are the go-to moves for this remarkable Pokémon, offering the highest total DPS. With each strike, Galarian Zapdos soars through the skies, countering its foes with unparalleled strength and delivering a powerful Brave Bird attack that leaves a lasting impact. So watch out for these moves during the 5-star raid.

Pokemon GO: Articuno’s Weaknesses and Best Counters

Zapdos, the electrifying powerhouse of Pokemon GO, has a unique Electric/Flying typing that gives it a decisive advantage over many opponents. However, every Pokémon has its weaknesses, and Zapdos is no exception. Its electric wings are particularly vulnerable to Rock and Ice type moves.

There are formidable counters to Zapdos in Pokemon GO that can turn the tide of battle in your favor. Tyranitar, Glaceon, Mamoswine, Weavile, Rampardos, and Terrakion have proven themselves exceptional adversaries against this legendary creature. With their strategic moves and types, these Pokémon significantly threaten Zapdos’s dominance. Even having one or two of these Pokemon in your team will give you a higher ground in battle.

Certain weather conditions can further enhance Zapdos’s power in Pokemon GO. When rain falls, or the winds pick up, Zapdos becomes even more formidable, capitalizing on the Rain and Windy weather boost.
