Using it in a run

Zapdos spreads 580 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Special Attack (125) and its weakest is Defense (85), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Ice, Rock and Electric. It resists Bug, Fighting and Flying in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 16 moves; the hardest-hitting is Zap Cannon at 120 power, available at level 70. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
