Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 74.5, which puts it at rank 80 overall, rank 4 of 151 among Kanto Pokemon and rank 8 of 64 Electric-types and 11 of 102 Flying-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Zapdos moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Zapdos starts every run with Thunder Shock: a lightning-fast bolt that pierces several enemies.
The level-up cards can then offer 14 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 6 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Electric moves: Thunder Shock, Discharge, Thunderbolt
- Flying moves: Gust, Wing Attack, Aerial Ace
Weaknesses and resistances
Zapdos takes extra damage from Ice (1.6x) and Rock (1.6x). It resists Ground (0.48x), Grass (0.6x), Fighting (0.6x), Flying (0.6x), Bug (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 10 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Zapdos are the ones whose first type is Ice or Rock. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Electric or Flying moves do not hit harder just because Zapdos shares the type.
How to get Zapdos
Zapdos is part of the Kanto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 6 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Zapdos a 0.25% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 261 pulls to land this particular one.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Zapdos exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Zapdos as an enemy
Zapdos never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.
As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Volt Plant (Electric) or Sky Peak (Flying). Its attack set is a ground slam, a leap onto your position, a fan of beams, and a fan of shots. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
