Read more ↓Zapdos is a legendary Electric/Flying-type Pokémon, one of the three legendary birds of the Kanto region, alongside Articuno and Moltres. Introduced in Generation I, Zapdos is known for its immense power over electricity, capable of summoning thunderstorms by flapping its wings. It typically nests in thunderclouds and mountainous areas, often appearing during electrical storms. Its diet is largely theorized to consist of energy from lightning strikes, which it absorbs to replenish its own power. In the Pokémon games, Zapdos is often found in power plants or other high-energy locations, presenting a formidable challenge to trainers seeking to capture it. In the anime, Zapdos has made several appearances, notably in "The Power of One" movie, where its elemental balance with Articuno and Moltres is crucial to the world's ecosystem. Its striking yellow plumage and sharp, beak-like face make it an iconic and easily recognizable figure in the Pokémon universe, symbolizing raw, untamed electrical might.
