As we now know, Legendaries are spawning in Pokemon Go. The Trainers around the world are gathering in order to battle and catch a Legendary Pokemon during Exclusive/Legendary Raid Battles.
One of the Legendary Pokemon is Zapdos, as one of the three Legendary birds, along with Articuno and Moltres. Zapdos is an Electric Type Legendary Pokemon with black and yellow plumage, and spiky feathers. In a way, it gives the feeling as a Thunderbird.
We expect to see Zapdo’s CP around 29.000, with Max Capture CP 1660. Zapdos can take Super Effective dmg from Rock and Ice Type moves.
You might say, “We can use Golem, Tyranitar, Lugia or Articuno as one of the best counters”, but trust me, there are more Pokemon that can be very useful against Zapdos.
