How to Catch Galarian Zapdos
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| ① | Fly to East Lake Axewell in the Wild Area. Galarian Zapdos will appear and run to the right. |

Follow Galarian Zapdos from East Lake Axewell
When you first encounter Galarian Zapdos, it will start off by running away to the right at a high speed, but keep your eye on it and don't let it get too far away.
Chase it down
After you've chased Galarian Zapdos for a while, sweat drops will appear over its head to indicate that it's getting tired.
Keep speeding ahead
If you continue going after it, it will eventually get tired and start to slow down, at which point you'll be able to finally catch up.
Battle Strategy
| Galarian Zapdos Lv. 70 |
Galarian Zapdos will use Fighting-type moves like Thunderous Kick and Reversal heavily. If you're using a Ghost-type Pokemon like Gengar to put it to sleep with Hypnosis, you'll be immune to most of its attacks, making this a fairly safe fight.

Basic Information
A Fighting/Flying Type
Unlike its predecessor, Zapdos loses the Zap in its name to become a Fighting/Flying type like Hawlucha. Its appearance remains shocking, and its move is titled Thunderous Kick, but it learns absolutely no Electric-type moves.
Thunderous Kick
Galarian Zapdos's signature move Thunderous Kick is a Physical Fighting-type move that definitely lowers the opponent's Defense. As this Pokemon seems to be more Physical-oriented than its predecessor, this effect should pair nicely with its potential to overpower enemies with its physical power.
Obtainable in the Crown Tundra DLC
Like its brethren Galarian Articuno and Galarian Moltres, Galarian Zapdos is available in The Crown Tundra DLC.
