Zapdos, with its solid defensive typing and strong Special Attack, is a potent pivot that is able to check Corviknight, Galarian Zapdos, and Talonflame, as well as potent offensive Fire-types like Cinderace and Ceruledge thanks to Primordial Sea. Primordial Sea also enables Zapdos to spam its strong STAB moves in Hurricane and Thunder, which allow it to OHKO offensive threats such as Meowscarada, Quaquaval, and Talonflame; Zapdos also pressures common RegenVest users like Meloetta with U-turn. Zapdos can opt to go for a more bulky spread of 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe to better check strong Fighting-types like Slither Wing and Galarian Zapdos. Zapdos is a good partner for offensive Pokemon like Slither Wing, Meowscarada, and Zamazenta-C, as it can bait in targets like Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta that they can take advantage of. Zapdos also pairs well with Corviknight, as Primordial Sea's Fire immunity allows Corviknight to run more physically defensive abilities such as Fluffy and Intimidate. Zapdos can struggle against bulky Ground-types like Regenerator Garchomp and Landorus-T, so pairing it with an attacker like Chien-Pao is recommended.

Zapdos with its solid defensive typing and strong special attack is a potent pivot that is able to check Corviknight, Lucario Galarian Zapdos more relevant, and Talonflame while also being a switch-in to potent offensive Fire-types like Cinderace and Ceruledge with Primordial Sea. Primordial Sea also enables Zapdos to spam its strong dual STAB combination in Hurricane and Thunder, which allows it to OHKO offensive threats such as Meowscarada, Quaquaval, and Talonflame; Zapdos also pressures common RegenVest users like Meloetta with U-turn. Zapdos can opt to go for a more bulky spread of 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe to better check strong Fighting-types like Slither Wing and Galarian Zapdos. Zapdos is a good partner for offensive pokemon like Slither Wing and Zamazenta-Crowned as it can bait in targets like Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta that they can take advantage of. I would add Meow as a good pivot core option too Zapdos also pairs well with Corviknight as it is a fire immune with Primordial Sea active, allowing for Corviknight to run more physically defensive skills such as Fluffy or Intimidate. Zapdos can struggle against bulky Ground-types like Regenerator Garchomp and Landorus, so pairing it with an attacker like Chien-Pao is recommended.
