Zapdos is a legendary Electric and Flying type Pokémon in the game, with high stats. It has 253 Atk., 185 Def., 207 Stam SPRD (Ave Base Stats). Zapdoas best moves are Thunder Shock(14 DPS)and Thunderbolt; it’s vulnerable to Ice & Rock Type Moves but can resist others like Ground or Bug-type attacks through its specialrigeria defensive typing advantage provided by rain/windy weather conditions when using dragon types’ super Effective ‘Eletric Surge’.
Zapdos is a sturdy Electric type attacker that can hold its own in the current meta. Zapdos’s high physical and special attack stats make up for its lack of particularity, allowing it to take on most enemies with relative ease. Though generalists like zapdos will always be useful no matter what generation they’re from, one must note that there has been an 15% buff added onto neutral game winning chances which makes them less valuable than before.

Zapdos Pokemon Raid
In Tier 3 raids, Zapdos has one more useful matchup than Articuno (LOL GET REKT MYSTIC7). In those battles with Vaporeon as your enemy, the Electric Flyer Pokemon deals heaps of damage and easily outlives Jolteon or Ampharos. If you’re having trouble soloing this challenge on your own though-Zapdos might be able to help out for a little while!
Among Tier 4 raid bosses, weakness to Electric:
Charizard
Slow to electric attacks, but can be better exploited with Rock Throw/Stone Edge Golem and Rock Throw or Stone Sliding Omastar (which has a very rare legacy moveset). Tyranitar Bite also works well for Zapdos. The problem? It doesn’t have an Super Effective quick move so you’ll actually do more DPS if your golem(s) are all Normal type here instead! If not… Your next best attacker is still duking it out against this strong foe—assuming that they too don’t already possess 6 Golem holding onto special rocks like Power Gemstones (+5 HP each).
Blastoise
Zapdos is a better Rock type than Exeggutor, Venusaur and Victreebel. These Pokemon are weak against Ice Beam which Zapdoos counters with its own power in return; even so though you still need to watch out for Rhydon’s powerful STONE EDGE attack that does double damage when used on these legendary birds! If decided between them both then go ahead keep your eyes peeled but there isn’t much difference other than being ableiga deal higher DPS rates from blastoise over any non-legendary rock pokemon
I hope this helps 🙂
Lapras
Zapdos does very high damage to Lapras, but Counter/Dynamic Punch Machamp deals more DPS (slightly higher than Raikou as well). The problem here is that Zapdos are weak against Ice. There’s only a 1 in 6 chance you will face neutral water moves set: Water Gun or Hydro Pump – definitely not good news if your foe has one of these Pokemon on their team! They also have Super Effective ICE attacks which means even worse things when fighting with double types like ice+water ones can happen–zapdo might do okay…but choose wisely!!

Zapdos Raid Counters
The challenge of raiding is finding the balance between DPS and Total Damage Output. No matter how fast your Pokemon are, they can’t survive long enough to win if their counterparts have a lower level or larger group size than you do! But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any benefit: A high-damage dealer will always be more valuable in large scale battles like these against multiple foes where death comes early on account for being squishy as does Defense vs Skillful players with games such tanking abilities upfront rather then letting loose when needed (or waiting until later).
In some cases, such as Gengar the high DPS attacker may be more valuable for Single Target (ST) damage than it is in large groups since many people contribute to collective damage and this doesn’t matter so much.
In extreme situations where an individual has very high single target attacks but low overall hit counts like on big bosses or when fighting with weak enemies that take too long-term of bouts with constant engagement from players at all times., then using them could prove advantageous over tanks who provide raid wide crowd control by taking up less space/resources even if they don’t deal anywhere near enough total hits needed alone.
