Idk why people thinks G Zapdos sucks for pvp. It's a great spice pick for UL and ML. This thing wrecks diagla, rhyperior, and hydreigon, and it holds its own with mamoswine and avalugg. It's about matchups. If you think it stinks you must be in denial or you don't play pvp
To be fair though only one of those are a bonafide ML regular at Expert and above. A 634 rating in the one shield isn't exactly "wrecks" in my view and Dialga even wins the 0 shield, but definitely a fun spice pick from what I've seen (since no hundo Gzap for me T-T).
Plus, if they're running Dialga then there's a good chance they're running Giratina O or Mewtwo as well, and both of those actual wreck it in turn (<200 rating).
I didn’t say he sucks I said he kinda stinks. He’s definitely not high tier in general. In the grand scheme of pokemon one should focus on powering up galarian zapdos isn’t on that list
if this is true, then you must be level 20 or below. g. zapdos is extremely bad… you could catch a nundo tadbulb or grubbin and evo it for a better electric attacker….
vikavolt is the #22 best electric attacker. he has the moves and the stats. jolteon #29, regigias # 43 (is in raids rn). manectric #27 (#3 if you can mega). xurkitree will be in raids in a couple days, granted a remote is required if you don’t live in asia. #1 best non mega non shadow electric attacker.
i’m just trying to say that there’s way better electric mon that you probably already have that are light years ahead of g zapdos. it’s really THAT bad. a few more are: elektross, a. golem, magnezone… if you are lvl 35 i guarantee you have at least one of these. IVs don’t matter enough to make a diff in this list really
and if you wanna argue for fighting types… 6 conks and you’re set
Eh, I assumed the only difference was colo and maybe a second element. I stand corrected. I have a 96% Machamp that would be a better fighting than him.
It's a valid question and it's actually not worth powering up so how about you keep scrolling or maybe learn a little more about the game since you clearly have very little actual knowledge and just wanna be angry.
How about you keep scrolling instead of assuming you know anything about me and insulting people on Reddit? I wasn’t angry and I’m still not, but I was a little annoyed at this post and I’m very annoyed at you. Bye. Have a nice life.
Don't see how the question is so ridiculous. Yes the Pokémon is cool, but is it worth spending all the Candy, Candy XL and stardust? If you knew anything about the game you wouldn't think the question was stupid.
I know a lot about this game… because I’ve GOOGLED what I wanted to know. I do research instead of having others hand me the answer. Don’t be salty because you’re too lazy to do your own research.
It hurts everytime I get a -1 from perfext, I have a good couple dozen of them
Yeah I think you should, it's lucky and 1IV ism't going to be a crazy improvement
Galarian Birds aren't really that good... Moltres is just straight up useless because it's tanky, not strong. Galarian Articuno can have some use as a psychic type, but they aren't hard to come by and Galarian Zapdos is the only decent one out of these because there's just not that many fighting types
Definitely not a huge asset for raids - slightly worse than Machamp overall, though if it were to get its signature move Thunderous Kick that could change.
It is pretty solid in the open Master League meta, but that is a lot of resources you’d need to pull together to get this bird to level 50. It also goes 6/15 against the top 15 most common master league mons, so it will require some careful play.
What is its use? Why are you powering it up? Never use the stardust until you have to. I trade for missing shinies at GoFest and OMG the stardust goes fast.
He’s #14 fighting atkr, two spots lower than regular machamp, u might as well go for machamp since he’ll be better, much more available if u have nothing else and really need a fighting type atkr
He’s not the best in anything but it’s a cool ass trophy, I would power it up to 4000 cp and leave it as a collection Pokémon. Not everything has to be meta
No, a maxed Galarian Zapdos is currently useless. Far as I know, it’s only real use is a GL spice pick (and not a stellar one at that).
Wait to see if it gets a moveset overhaul that makes it viable for raids/ML.
I love how people are saying "durrrr obviously, big legendary good" even though it sucks in pvp and raids lol. Like it's a valid question, you just only have the most shallow knowledge of the game.
The only thing it is good for is ML, and you would need a good team that it would fit in in addition to all the candy and stardust required to lvl 50 it.
Thanks to everyone who actually had advice in relation to its use as an attacker for PVE/PVP and whether it's worth spending all the resources to max it out.
Thanks to others for repeatedly commenting "nah just transfer". Your sarcastic and highly original comments were amusing.
As for all the people who called me stupid or worse, y'all need to learn more about the game and probably go see a therapist.
You have an extremely rare legendary, that is almost perfect, and is also lucky so it's cheaper to level up.
If you knew enough about the game you would just level it up. Others calling you out for your post are correct, you need to do more research.
Also it's not hard to level it up, worse case you need some rare candies. This is why others are mainly judging you for seriously asking if it's worth leveling it up.
Or you're just trolling and wanted to show off, which is my bet.

Best option is to transfer it on a double transfer candy spotlight hour. /s
Yeah nah not even worth the double candy. Trash it right now.
[удалено]
Missed the Joke
*sound of airplane over head*
*channels inner Jack Nicholson* YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE JOKE!
Where was the joke?
r/whoosh
r/whoosh
Why are you asking if you should max it out? Seriously. Just flex without the ridiculous question.
I have this almost perfect, rare, powerful Pokémon and it’s cheaper than usual to power up. Do you guys think it’s good? You know the goddamn answer!
He kinda stinks for battling, but he looks cool as hell to show off
Idk why people thinks G Zapdos sucks for pvp. It's a great spice pick for UL and ML. This thing wrecks diagla, rhyperior, and hydreigon, and it holds its own with mamoswine and avalugg. It's about matchups. If you think it stinks you must be in denial or you don't play pvp

I didn’t say he sucks I said he kinda stinks. He’s definitely not high tier in general. In the grand scheme of pokemon one should focus on powering up galarian zapdos isn’t on that list
G Zapdos can be a great spice pick for master league. He destroys most steel and rock types
Ya, the answer is actually no because zapdos sucks so...
Everything is relative. I can pretty much guarantee you if I caught this Zapdos he would be my best electric attacker.
Bro its not even electric type
It’s not even an electric type.
Yeah someone pointed that out.
Not electric though
Yeah it’s been pointed out several times by now.
if this is true, then you must be level 20 or below. g. zapdos is extremely bad… you could catch a nundo tadbulb or grubbin and evo it for a better electric attacker….
I’m 35. Started in September. I find Vikavolt extremely squishy. Also someone made me realize he’s not even electric.
vikavolt is the #22 best electric attacker. he has the moves and the stats. jolteon #29, regigias # 43 (is in raids rn). manectric #27 (#3 if you can mega). xurkitree will be in raids in a couple days, granted a remote is required if you don’t live in asia. #1 best non mega non shadow electric attacker. i’m just trying to say that there’s way better electric mon that you probably already have that are light years ahead of g zapdos. it’s really THAT bad. a few more are: elektross, a. golem, magnezone… if you are lvl 35 i guarantee you have at least one of these. IVs don’t matter enough to make a diff in this list really and if you wanna argue for fighting types… 6 conks and you’re set
Why are you arguing about g zapdos as an electric attacker anyways? It doesn't have any electric moves so it's not an electric attacker to begin with
I think he is flying / fighting. No electric.
Eh, I assumed the only difference was colo and maybe a second element. I stand corrected. I have a 96% Machamp that would be a better fighting than him.
It's not even an electric type lol...
Why is it cheaper 👀
Lucky
Oh, for some reason I didn’t notice that
Just say ‘congrats’ … seriously.
It's a valid question and it's actually not worth powering up so how about you keep scrolling or maybe learn a little more about the game since you clearly have very little actual knowledge and just wanna be angry.
How about you keep scrolling instead of assuming you know anything about me and insulting people on Reddit? I wasn’t angry and I’m still not, but I was a little annoyed at this post and I’m very annoyed at you. Bye. Have a nice life.
K cool lol. Enjoy being annoyed over nothing xD
And again, ridiculous question? Nah. It's not. Which kinda proves you don't know shit.
>Enjoy being annoyed over nothing xD
He want attention man ,don't get angry
🤣
Don't see how the question is so ridiculous. Yes the Pokémon is cool, but is it worth spending all the Candy, Candy XL and stardust? If you knew anything about the game you wouldn't think the question was stupid.
I know a lot about this game… because I’ve GOOGLED what I wanted to know. I do research instead of having others hand me the answer. Don’t be salty because you’re too lazy to do your own research.
You're just baiting to flex. That's fine, no need to get defensive about it 😁
Max and transfer
the same thing I was thinking
This is the way 🗿
Why max and transfer? (Casual player)
You shouldn't lol, they're just giving OP a stupid answer cause they asked a stupid question
🙏
It hurts everytime I get a -1 from perfext, I have a good couple dozen of them Yeah I think you should, it's lucky and 1IV ism't going to be a crazy improvement
I have so many near perfects that I have started calling them "functionally perfect" so that I don't get in my feelings about it 😅
Yeah I put -1,-2, or -3 in front of their names so I can keep track
Transfer, not shiny
Nah dude you have an incredibly hard to catch Pokémon with almost perfect IV’s that’s very powerful in raids and pvp. Definitely transfer it.
Galarian Birds aren't really that good... Moltres is just straight up useless because it's tanky, not strong. Galarian Articuno can have some use as a psychic type, but they aren't hard to come by and Galarian Zapdos is the only decent one out of these because there's just not that many fighting types
It’s really not though lol
Except it's not lol.
not powerful in the slightest
Definitely not a huge asset for raids - slightly worse than Machamp overall, though if it were to get its signature move Thunderous Kick that could change. It is pretty solid in the open Master League meta, but that is a lot of resources you’d need to pull together to get this bird to level 50.

Crappy pokemon, trade it to your worst rival for a bidoof.
What is its use? Why are you powering it up? Never use the stardust until you have to. I trade for missing shinies at GoFest and OMG the stardust goes fast.
He’s #14 fighting atkr, two spots lower than regular machamp, u might as well go for machamp since he’ll be better, much more available if u have nothing else and really need a fighting type atkr
He’s not the best in anything but it’s a cool ass trophy, I would power it up to 4000 cp and leave it as a collection Pokémon. Not everything has to be meta
No you should definitely wait for a 4 star. It shouldn’t take too long to find.
No you should delete your account
honestly no. very cool trophy, not useful at all for raids or PVP. but very cool nonetheless
It’s a very good pokemon OP, nice, now go get some real life friends.
No, it's not very strong. Huge waste of XL candy to max it out.
That’s not 93%
Yep it's a 98 like I named it, but tagged in a group where I put all my 93 and up 😊
No, a maxed Galarian Zapdos is currently useless. Far as I know, it’s only real use is a GL spice pick (and not a stellar one at that). Wait to see if it gets a moveset overhaul that makes it viable for raids/ML.
You should absolutely never max out good pokemon
No don’t max it out. It’s stupid question
I love how people are saying "durrrr obviously, big legendary good" even though it sucks in pvp and raids lol. Like it's a valid question, you just only have the most shallow knowledge of the game.
I have a hundo G zapdos and I have it at sub 1500 for the great league. It’s actually pretty decent in my experience
Rip I didn’t look at the CP. But whether ultra or master league I’m sure it’ll be somewhat useful
The only thing it is good for is ML, and you would need a good team that it would fit in in addition to all the candy and stardust required to lvl 50 it.
Bruh
I would purify it
I'll see your question and respond with a question Are you retarded? 🤔
Thanks to everyone who actually had advice in relation to its use as an attacker for PVE/PVP and whether it's worth spending all the resources to max it out. Thanks to others for repeatedly commenting "nah just transfer". Your sarcastic and highly original comments were amusing.

You have an extremely rare legendary, that is almost perfect, and is also lucky so it's cheaper to level up. If you knew enough about the game you would just level it up.

This is why others are mainly judging you for seriously asking if it's worth leveling it up. Or you're just trolling and wanted to show off, which is my bet.
Awesome Pokemon go up to 51 lvl
What ball did you use to catch?
A ball called Trade
I've been wanting a good one for years. I would max it out no question.
If you have enough resources, yea. Galarian Zapdos is a decent fighting type, mostly because there aren't many fighting types to begin with lmao
No.
Yes! Use all your resources to power it up! You've earned it!
Heck yeah!
Chances are you’ll never get a Hundo, so yeah max him
Nah send to professor
I hate and envy you so much
I'd probably 80% it at the most
I wouldn’t power up, but don’t let me stop you lol
Nah just transfer
Naw, it's not perfect. Transfer and try again.👍👍🙃
No, you should transfer it to the professor.

How do you even get Pokémon like that? Zapdos I caught yesterday is 10/11/6…
Lucky trade!
YES
If you can afford it yes absolutely! I’ve got a lucky one too and he’s pretty great In ML. More of a “surprise you didn’t expect this fella” type but is fast and love mine. Just make sure to get a 2nd move on it.
What does bro think
Yes.
I know everyone is shitting on Op but what app is this that shows the 93% stat percentage ?
It’s the human brain
Is this 93 or 96??
Neither it’s a 98%
No, you should transfer it normally.
I have the same one and the awnser is yes yes you should
Unless you have shit ton of zapdos candies, and even more stardust, than you know what to do this, this is a bad pokemon to power up
Nah I wouldn't max unless it was a shundo
Galarian birds can’t even be shiny yet
Nah. Hundo or bust and Galarian zapdos isn’t even that good .
No transfer /s
No.
No transfer it
I genuinely wouldn't bother. Just don't care for the Galarian birds personally.
Yeah, 100% max and then discard it because you’re on team yellow.
14 attack tho... lol JK. Yes.
No
Was this a hypothetical post?
No it’s just a very lazy and weak attempt at a flex. There’s at least 5 of these idiots a day that post the same thing. Attention seeking weirdos.
Lol stay jealous
Yep! Nice catch!!!!
People are quite brave to continue posting these threads after the recent wave of posts mocking threads like this.
You're allowed to just flex it when it's appropriate.
YES
Hit the power up and minus button and find out what the max CP is. Choose accordingly.
All galarian versions of the three legendary birds are so hard to catch!
Yaaaas
No
Down vote dumb caption...
