True zapdos-kanto is arguably the biggest issue zapdos-galar faces, not only being arguably one of it's best counters with ressists to both it's stab but the species clause at the same time making players pick and chose which they would rather run. At the same time B- does still feel pretty low for one of the best scarfers and bander users in ou atm, with access to U-turn, potent offensive and even defensive stab in fighting/flying, solid bulk, and decent coverage, used well it's a pretty solid pokemon on a level more akin to the pokemon in B or B+ than B-
Edit: i mean to put in the earlier post but here will do, just a thank you to all the volunteers that have helped shaped the viability rankings, as it's an important resource for many players hoping to judge how effective a pokemon in the metagame which is great for them questioning, discovering why and most importantly learning from it and thus improving as players. this would not be possible without your efforts to take your own time to gauge a fair and accurate list.
It really isn't that good as a scarfer. Its worn down from helmet, crippled from flame body, bunker from pex, and static. These abilities cripple in what zapdos-g can do. Also having no longevity is very hurtful in the long run, being chipped by hazards, helmet, status, and recoil. It is outclassed as a fighting type by pheromosa because its naturally faster than the metagame barring regiliki, its ability to break through its counters is huge which is something zapdos-g cannot do. Also its very vulnerable to one of the more common strategies "futureport" making zapdos unable to switch into what you would soft check like urshifu-single strike, or something like hydreigon without draco. Its stabs are easily wallable and scarf and band are easily to be found out via damage calculator/ how fast it is and how they use it. If anything zapdos-galar should be lower, it dosent have much going for it especially in this very fast meta with spectrier, pheromosa, and garchomp that could all outspeed and do some serious damage to it. To conclude, zapdos galar isn't a very good pokemon because of how easily its wallable, Bulk up is slow and is unable to naturally break through helmet pex without lucky crits, and without burns, if at all. It is not that bulky with 90/90/90 defences and 125 attack isn't that much and isn't breaking through anything.
252 Atk Choice Band Zapdos-Galar Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 153-181 (50.3 - 59.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
32.4% - 35.4% in recoil just from that and its easily played around because toxapex has regenerator. fighting stab is easily available these days via clefable, toxapex and slowbro. Brave bird is easily wallable and not spammable due to recoil
252 Atk Zapdos-Galar Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 102-121 (33.5 - 39.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Scarf has 0 hope barring a crit after rocks which is sad.
While being threatened left and right by status and chip damage
Also btw i corrected the shit ton of grammatical errors u had
Oh yeah, I didn't mention choice band, WHY? Because its outclassed by CB pheromosa in every way, coverage wise,ability wise, stat wise. Zapdos really shouldn't be used at all
and 
are so low down in B-. In my experience, rain has been quite a consistently good playstyle, so it's weird seeing it up there, as is seeing 
-RS, another mon usually seen only in rain teams, one rank above.
from 
and 
are listed in C ranks, same as Hail components 
and 
. (I compare these three weather because every component is dependant on the weather factor, unlike sand where the components of a sand core can perform very well individually.) This is where consistency comes into play that rain is much more consistent than these two weathers so its components are ranked higher.
