Best Counters to Beat Zapdos in Pokémon GO

As we know Team Mystic was placed first, Team Valor was placed second and Team Instinct was placed thrid in Pokémon Go Fest since they contributed least in the mystery challenges at Pokémon Go Fest.

Team Mystic’s legendary bird Articuno was released first to the trainers in real world and later Team Valor’s legendary bird Moltres was released. As of today August 7, 2017, Moltres is no longer available, we have no idea when we will be able to catch Moltres and Articuno in Pokémon Go again, but yeah we have a good news for trainers.

The good news is, Team Instinct’s legendary bird Zapdos is making it’s way to real world right now, trainers around the world are reporting that they are seeing Zapdos raid in place of Moltres since Moltres was replaced by Zapdos today. Team Instinct’s Legendary bird will be appearing worldwide for 7 days from Monday, August 7, 2017 to Monday, August 14, 2017.

Legendary Pokémon Catch Rate

Here is the catch rate for Legendary Pokémon from our last post on Moltres, and legendary Pokémon are very hard to catch. Take a look at the catch rates below, without Berry, with Razz Berry and with Golden Razz Berry.

No Berry –

Normal: 3.00%

Nice: 3.45%

Great: 4.50%

Excellent: 5.55%

No Berry – Curveball

Normal: 5.10%

Nice: 5.87%

Great: 7.65%

Excellent: 9.44%

Razz Berry –

Normal: 4.50%

Nice: 5.18%

Great: 6.75%

Excellent: 8.32%

Razz Berry – Curveball

Normal: 7.60%

Nice: 8.87%

Great: 9.65%

Excellent: 10.44%

Golden Razz Berry

Normal: 7.50%

Nice: 8.67%

Great: 11.25%

Excellent: 13.99%

Golden Razz Berry – Curveball

Normal: 12.60%

Nice: 14.87%

Great: 18.65%

Excellent: 23.41%

What you need to do is, use a Golden Razz Berry every time you throw a Premier Ball and make sure you are throwing a curveball, this will increase your chance of catching Zapdos. You are likely to catch Zapdos, within 5-6 tries at max.

How to beat Zapdos

To defeat Zapdpremos in a raid battle, you will need good counters as Zapdos has the highest Combat Power and attack out of all three Legendary birds. You will need to use Ice and Rock Type Pokémon, and in Rock Type, you need to use Pokémon that can use Stone Edge move, as I explained earlier in Moltres post, Stone Edge is third most powerful attack in Pokémon Go. While taking Attack and Defense stats in the account, Stone Edge attack does a base damage of 232. There are many Rock Type Pokémon that can use Stone Edge attack but I highly suggest using Tyranitar and Golem, they are they key to defeating Zapdos.

Remember, Zapdos is weak to Ice and Rock Type, you can always use strong Ice and Rock type Pokémon to beat it. Good luck and happy hunting. Stay tuned for more information on Zapdos.
