Object-
POWER UP THOSE ZAPDOS!!!!!! Start with Electabuzz, Voltorb, and Doduo. You
will need electrodes, dodrios and dark electrodes. Electabuzz and voltorb are
the to attack in the start while you slowly get zapdos powered up. And if you
think that electabuzz and voltorb cant do the job........ there is always
doduo and dodrios to resist all those fighting pokemon (not to mention that
dodrio's Pokemon Power will give ALMOST everyone a free retreat). Then after
pokemon are evolved use Dark electrode to Energy bomb and charge up those
zapdos. Then when the basic electrode is about to die...... buzzap! charge up
that zapdos! energy removal them so that by the time they finally get
energies zapdos is ready! And is i use thunderbolt......... Energy retrievial
to the rescue!!!!!!! Well here's my tournament results.
