When its feathers rub together, they produce a crackling sound like the zapping of electricity.
Zapdos hangs out on the Rock Tunnel roof area, Level 65. You need to access it from Route 10. Its the easiest bird to get to IMO
Electric/Flying only has two weaknesses and one is Ice which isn't super common. High Speed and Special Attack means Thunderbolt hits and you're usually moving first. Air Slash or Drill Peck for secondary STAB. Static can paralyze on contact which is nice for setting up!
Remember, every Legendary will have 3 perfect IVs when caught.
This Pokémon does not evolve.
Note, you can always call Professor Elm with the Pokemon you are trying to evolve as first in your party. If the information on this page seems incorrect, please try calling Elm (and preferably let me know too!!)
