February 20 is a big day in the world ofÂPokemon GO. It marks the beginning of thePokemon GO Tour: Kanto, which is starting to roll out around the world. This means a change in raid bosses and the return of theLegendary Bird Trio. While these three Pokemon have been featured in raids multiple times before, newMega Evolutionsand moves are being released regularly, and therefore the meta often changes. With that in mind, let’s see if Zapdos has any Weakness inPokemon GOand look at the best counters to take it down.
Zapdos Weakness Pokemon GO
Zapdos is a Flying and Electric-type Pokemon, leaving it with a pair of weaknesses to exploit. The Pokemon’s dual Flying/Electric-typing means that both Rock and Ice-type moves are super effective against it. This means there is a good range of counters to take down Zapdos inPokemon GO, but what are they?
Best Counters For Zapdos
There are a few top counters to Zapdos in the game, let’s take a look at them.
Mega Abomasnowis the only Mega Pokemon that’s worth currently considering for Zapdos Raids and it is the undisputed MVP.
The main type of Pokemon you probably want to consider for Zapdos raids is Rock-types as there is plenty of choice and they’re relatively common.Rhyperioris probably the best performer in this area, closely followed byRamparados.ÂTyranitarandTerrakionare also both great counters.
Alongside the Rock-types, there is a handful of decent Ice-type counters. The trio ofMamoswine(who offers a double weakness to Electric moves),WeavileandGalarian Darmanitanare all very are good picks here.
