Our Comprehensive Zapdos Raid Guide for Pokémon GO’s 7th Anniversary Party Event
The 7th Anniversary Party event has commenced in Pokémon GO, featuring Blastoise in Mega Raids and the Trio of Legendary Birds from Kanto in Tier Five Raids. Our ultimate raid guide for Pokémon GO players provides all the necessary information to defeat Zapdos, the Electric-type Legendary Bird of Kanto, during Tier Five raids. Let’s dive into the details.
Top Zapdos Counters
According to Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, the top ten Zapdos counters are:
- Shadow Mamoswine: Powder Snow, Avalanche
- Shadow Tyranitar: Smack Down, Stone Edge
- Rhyperior: Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
- Shadow Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Ice Beam
- Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
- Mega Aerodactyl: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
- Tyrantrum: Rock Throw, Meteor Beam
- Mamoswine: Powder Snow, Avalanche
- Shadow Weavile: Ice Shard, Avalanche
- Terrakion: Smack Down, Rock Slide
It is highly recommended to power up your counters to their maximum potential. However, acquiring a considerable number of strong Shadow Pokémon with their exclusive moves can be challenging even for experienced players. Thus, we have compiled a list of ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can efficiently help you defeat Zapdos.
- Galarian Darmanitan: Ice Fang, Avalanche
- Gigalith: Smack Down, Meteor Beam
- Tyranitar: Smack Down, Stone Edge
- Glaceon: Frost Breath, Avalanche
- Kyuren: Dragon Breath, Glaciate
- Weavile: Ice Shard, Avalanche
- Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Ice Beam
- Landorus: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
- Aggron: Smack Down, Meteor Beam
- Nihilego: Acid, Rock Slide
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Defeating Zapdos can be accomplished with a team of three trainers, but if you cannot ensure that all participants have the top counters with maximum CP and ideal moves, it is advisable to have at least four players in your raid group.
To improve your chances of catching Zapdos, employ the Circle Lock Technique to consistently land Great or Excellent throws and utilize Golden Razz Berries. In the event that you encounter a Shiny Zapdos, it is a guaranteed catch, so consider using a Pinap Berry to maximize your rewards.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. For those seeking a Zapdos with the best individual values (IVs), a 100% IV Zapdos will have a CP of 2015 in normal weather conditions and 2519 in boosted conditions.
