Despite being around for several years, Pokemon Go is still going very strong right now. It is just as fun as ever to travel around collecting Pokemon in different areas or going on raid battles with friends or strangers. As time has gone on there have been more and more interesting Pokemon added to the game, and players have the opportunity to collect and battle against types from many different generations.
One of the most fun Pokemon to collect are legendary Pokemon that are part of raid battles. The original game's legendaries have recently been offered to players in these raids. Articuno and Moltres were offered first, and now players have the chance to go after the electric Pokemon Zapdos. This is not an easy task and players only have until August 14th to catch it. This guide is here to show players where to find Zapdos and how to catch it.
Pokemon Go: How to Catch Zapdos
Zapdos is only available as a legendary raid battle, so players who want to find it will need to track down their nearest raid location. These locations will differ from city to city, but there will most likely be a raid battle location at some kind of nearby landmark or heavily trafficked area. In order to catch Zapdos, players will first need to beat it during the raid battle. After it has been beaten, players will then have the chance to try and catch it.
Players will want to bring Pokemon with them that have type advantage Zapdos. This means that they will want to have Ice and Rock-type Pokemon because they are strong against electric Pokemon. One problem though is that Zapdos is resistant Ground-Type attacks so players won't be able to use their typical tactics against the legendary Pokemon. The best Pokemon to have for this fight are Golem, Rhydon, and Tyranitar.
Depending on how much damage players do against the boss, they will get a certain number of premier balls to use to catch it. Players will only be able to use these balls against Zapdos, so players should try to do as much damage as possible in order to get more chances to catch the Pokemon. The player should try to wait until Zapdos is sitting still to try and capture it for the best chance.
Pokemon Go can be played on iOS and Android.
