Read more ↓Galarian Zapdos is a legendary Fighting/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII as part of the Crown Tundra expansion for the *Pokémon Sword and Shield* games. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, which is an Electric/Flying type, Galarian Zapdos is a ground-dwelling, aggressive bird known for its powerful kicks and formidable speed on land. It is one of the three Galarian legendary birds, alongside Galarian Articuno and Galarian Moltres, which are all regional variants of the original Kanto legendary birds. These regional forms deviate significantly in appearance, typing, and behavior. Galarian Zapdos is described as having powerful leg muscles, allowing it to sprint across vast plains at incredible speeds, delivering devastating kicks to its opponents. Its diet is largely carnivorous, hunting smaller Pokémon in its rocky, arid habitat. In the games, players encounter it during the Crown Tundra storyline, often engaging in a high-speed pursuit before battle. Its unique type combination gives it different strengths and weaknesses compared to the original Zapdos, making it a distinctive addition to the Pokémon lore and competitive scene.
