Moves Breakdown

Brave Bird Thunderous Kick

Steel-type Tera Blast allows Galarian Zapdos to take on Fairy-types that would normally check it, while U-Turn allows it to quickly pivot from the battle if faced against a Pokemon that resists its moves.

How to Use Galarian Zapdos Effectively

An Effective Lead with Defiant

Whether it's a Choice Band sweeper or a Bulk Up attacker, Galarian Zapdos is a great offensive lead thanks to its Defiant Ability. As a result, it essentially fills the role of an anti-Intimidate lead, taking advantage of the stat drop to get a boost to its Attack.

How to Build a Team with Galarian Zapdos

Galarian Zapdos can fit into almost any team that requires a strong physical attacker to round the team's coverage with its dual STAB moves.

Sample Singles Team

Lead Attacker Defensive Pivot Special Attacker
Galarian Zapdos ImageGalarian Zapdos Gholdengo ImageGholdengo Iron Bundle ImageIron Bundle

Galarian Zapdos leads this offensive team, providing strong Fighting and Flying-type STAB to overpower opposing leads and weaker defensive Pokemon.

Defensive Gholdengo serves as this team's Defensive Pivot, switching into Fairy-types that threaten Galarian Zapdos.

Iron Bundle serves as this team's special attacker, providing strong Water and Ice-type STAB. Freeze-Dry, in particular, is a great move to use against Toxapex and Wash Rotom that Galarian Zapdos has trouble against.

Sample Doubles Team

Lead Attacker Redirection Support
Galarian Zapdos ImageGalarian Zapdos Amoonguss ImageAmoonguss
Offensive Utility Special Attacker
Arcanine ImageArcanine Flutter Mane ImageFlutter Mane

With Amoonguss providing redirection support with Rage Powder, Galarian Zapdos has more opportunities to set up with Bulk Up.

Arcanine is a good switch in to Amoonguss to provide Galarian Zapdos its own Intimidate support, while Flutter Mane provides strong special offense with its dual Ghost and Fairy-type STAB.

Counters for Galarian Zapdos

Outspeed it with a Faster Attacker

Although Galarian Zapdos has a great 100 Base Speed stat, it's still easily outsped by most attackers. Many of these have super effective STAB or coverage moves that can easily KO or 2HKO it.
