BST 580. These bars are the in-game combat stats, scaled against the highest value in the current roster.

Zapdos does not join the starter board and does not roll as a timed boss. A distortion rift can open from 1:15, and this Pokémon waits in an arena based on one of its types (Electric / Flying). The fight lasts two minutes. A win pays coins, three normal tickets, and two ×10 tickets. A loss or a timeout sends you back at 30% HP with nothing. Go in after the 3:00 boss, with HP to spare. A portal at 1:15 is a common wipe.

Zapdos moves in PokéSurvivor

The run starts with Thunder Shock (Impactrueno in the game). A very fast shot that pierces several enemies.Later cards can offer any move of Electric / Flying plus every Normal move.

Zapdos questions

Is Zapdos a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Zapdos joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Zapdos in PokéSurvivor?

Zapdos is Electric / Flying. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Zapdos be shiny?

Yes. A wild Zapdos is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Zapdos a rift legendary?

Yes. Zapdos only appears in a distortion rift, not in normal waves or as a timed boss.
