Zapdos is an Electric/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #145) with a high stat total of 580. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, BDSP and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 125, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Zapdos takes super-effective damage from Ice, Rock. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Grass, Fighting, Flying, Bug, Steel. Its ability options are Pressure, Static, and you choose which one your copy carries.

In-game, Zapdos has 66 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (1), Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (1), Let's Go (54) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Zapdos ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
