Zapdos

Legendary thunder avian

Zapdos is one of three legendary bird Pokémon in the original games, associated with electricity and storms.

Its name combines *zap* with the Spanish *dos* (two), marking it as second in the trio.

The yellow, spiky-feathered creature appears on Team Instinct's emblem in Pokémon Go: I finally caught a Zapdos during the raid hour.
