How To Get Zapdos

Much like the other two Pokemon apart of the Legendary Bird Trio, Zapdos can be found at any point during the main storyline. However, if you haven't captured it by the time you have defeated the Elite Four, you will be prompted to go search for it (along with rest of the Legendary Bird Trio). Zapdos can be found deep within the Kanto Power Plant, which can be reached by surfing the waters on Route 10. Like other Legendary Pokemon Encounters found within the game, Zapdos must first be defeated in battle before you will be allowed to capture it. In battle, Zapdos will be at Level 50 and will have all of its stats boosted at the beginning of said bout, knowing the moves of Drill Peck, Thunderbolt, Agility and Light Screen. After capturing Zapdos in the Power Plant, there is a chance that it will appear as a Special Spawn on any of the Routes found across the Kanto Region.
