Since today, Pokémon GO trainers can find a new legendary Pokémon in the game. Zapdos completes the bird trio and can now be caught in the game for a limited time. We will show you here how long Zapdos will be available.
For the past few hours, you can find the legendary bird “Zapdos” in Pokémon GO. As the developers stated, you can battle and catch Zapdos since the morning of August 8. So get ready to search for legendary raid battles where the “Electric Bird” can be found.
Finding Zapdos – New Raid Boss in PoGO
In July, Pokémon GO celebrated its first anniversary together with the developers and players around the world. During the GO Fest in Chicago, there were tasks to complete that ultimately led to the release of the legendary Pokémon.
It all started with Lugia and Articuno. Articuno is part of the legendary bird trio and was catchable in the game for about a week. After that, the ice bird was replaced by Moltres, which was also available for a week in Pokémon GO.
Now Zapdos, the final part of the trio, is active for a week until August 15. You now have the chance to complete the legendary bird trio in your collection.

Defeating Zapdos – Golem is a good choice
The electric bird “Zapdos” is vulnerable to rock and ice attacks from other Pokémon. This leads to many counters that you can use in the fight against this raid boss. A Golem, which can use two rock attacks, is particularly strong.

Strongest Electric Pokémon (so far)
If you catch Zapdos, it is a significant addition to your collection. So far, the bird is the strongest electric Pokémon in Pokémon GO. If the legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are activated in the game, Raikou will take over the role of the strongest electric Pokémon. But that doesn’t make Zapdos a bad choice.
So, catching it is definitely worth it for you.
