CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Zapdos lives in thunderclouds, where lightning crosses the sky. It is said to grow stronger when a bolt strikes it, as though the storm were feeding the bird that controls it. Its nest is believed to be hidden in dark cloud masses, beyond ordinary sight. When it appears, its own lightning accompanies its flight. The Pokédex thus places it at the heart of the storm, rather than above a mere backdrop.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

An old account claims that the friction of Zapdos’s feathers is enough to make lightning strike. Pokémon Shield therefore does not limit its power to deliberately fired bolts: the simple movement of its plumage becomes a danger sign when the Legendary Pokémon springs into action.
