Best Zapdos & Shadow Zapdos Raid Counters: 1) Shadow Rhyperior (Smack Down + Rock Wrecker) · 2) Shadow Mamoswine (Powder Snow + Avalanche) · 3) Mega Diancie (Rock Throw + Rock Slide) · 4) Mega Tyranitar (Smack Down + Stone Edge) · 5) Rampardos (Smack Down + Rock Slide) · 6) Baxcalibur & Galarian Darmanitan.

⚡ Raid Lobby & Investment Strategy:

Typing Advantage Tip: Because Zapdos is Electric/Flying, Ground-type moves do NOT hit it for super-effective damage! However, Ground/Rock and Ground/Ice counters (Shadow Rhyperior and Shadow Mamoswine) double-resist Zapdos's Electric attacks while hitting its Flying half for 1.6x super-effective Rock and Ice damage.
