Description: Zapdos is a massive, Legendary bird Pokémon covered in spiky yellow and black feathers that give the illusion of the lighting it creates. With a flap of its wings, it releases electricity into the air and creates thunderstorms. Rarely ever seen, Zapdos is believed to live among the thunderclouds where it is recharged each time it is struck by lightning. Part of the Legendary bird trio, Zapdos is the mascot for Team Instinct in Pokémon Go.
