The best ability for Galarian Zapdos in Tera Raid Battles is Defiant. The ability Defiant increases the user's Attack by two stages when the user's stats get lowered.
We recommend getting a Galarian Zapdos with a Fighting Tera Type because to boost the power of its signature move, Thunderous Kick. As a physical attacker, an Adamant Nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards increasing the Pokemon's HP and Attack. Max out these EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Defense. Give Galarian Zapdos a Shell Bell to let it heal the damage it takes.
Galarian Zapdos Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Taunt to prevent the enemy from using Status moves. |
Turns 2~4 | Use Bulk Up to build up your Atk and Def stats. |
Turns 5~7 | Use Thunderous Kick to build Tera Orb charges while also lowering the opponent's Def. |
Turns 5+ | Terastallize and use Close Combat or Thunderous Kick to take down the opponent. |
Start out a Tera Raid Battle by using Taunt to prevent the enemy from using Status moves.
The use Bulk Up a few times to raise your Attack Stat. Proceed to attack with Thunderous Kick consecutively as it can lower the opponent's Defense Stat. Using Close Combat as your other damage dealer is a good alternative.

This Galarian Zapdos Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel Type Tera Raid Bosses.
If the Tera Raid Boss is of a different type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Galarian Zapdos will be weak to these Types as a Fighting-type attacker.
