hey pojo,
I've heard about kids saying Zapdos is better off as a staller. Yeah right!
He has two powerful attacks in basic and a pretty powerful attack in fossil:
Basic
90 HP
Thunder, flip a coin, if tails, Zapdos does 30 damage to itself.
Thunderbolt, discard all energy attached to Zapdos.
Fossil
80 HP
Thunderstorm, for each of your oppenents benched Pokemon lip a coin. If
heads, this attack does 20 damage to that Pokemon. No weakness or resistance
for benched Pokemon. Zapdos does 10 to itself for each tails.
Basic Zapdos
Now, if you are facing an opponent with a water Pokemon, use Thunder since no
Pokemon water or not has more than 120 HP it will faint then one hit KO.
If you are facing a fire, like Charizard, unless it has full energy attached
use Thunder because it faints them in two moves. (Thunderbolt would take
longer because you have to attach energys to Zapdos)
Use Thunderbolt only if the defending Pokemon has excactly 100 HP or down to
70 HP and Zapdos is low on health.
Fossil Zapdos
Since Thunderstorm is his only move I can only tell you about that.
Use Thunderstorm on water Pokemon. When you're fighting Fighting Pokemon, use
Potions and Super Potion sice Zapdos restists them.
All of the legendary birds risist fighting and have no weaknesses. Use them
against all of the Pokemon.
