Zapdos (Pokémon)

Zapdos (Japanese: サンダー Thunder) is a dual-type Electric/Flying legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with and, it is one of the three legendary birds of Kanto.

Physiology
Zapdos has the form of a large bird with black and yellow plumage. Its spiky feathers make it appear to be made of lightning. Its tail feathers stick out in several directions, furthering this illusion. A large crest of feathers decorates its head, and distinctive black rings encircle its eyes. Its beak is very long and thin. While Zapdos is the smallest and lightest of the legendary birds, it is still a large Pokémon.

Gender differences
Zapdos is a genderless species.

Special abilities
When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity, potentially causing thunderstorms.

Behavior
Zapdos is one of the legendary birds of Kanto. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. It is always seen in conjunction with thunderstorms, leading many to believe that it gathers energy from the electricity in the atmosphere. It is also reported to cause massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it is said to shed when airborne.

Habitat
When Zapdos is sighted, which is not often, it is almost always during electrical storms. It appears to live in thunderclouds, but one is said to live in or near a power plant in Kanto. It may be attracted by the electricity the plant produces.
