Zapdos is a large yellow bird with very angular plumage all around it, and is one of a trio of legendary avian species that are capable of powerful abilities based on elements. As proclaimed by the Pokédex, it has powers over electricity and free control over thunder, and as it flies it makes crackling and snapping sounds from its wings. It usually lives in thunderclouds, and it gains power if it is stricken by lightning bolts. By flapping its glittering wings, it lets loose lightning and can cause summer storms. It appears with gigantic thunderstorms and is said to appear only when a thundercloud parts into two halves.
