Shadow Zapdos = Charizard dps and bulk + Swampert spamminess equivalent but is electric + flying. You will win CMP against pretty much every pokemon unless they are running something like Haunter/Gengar or any high attack pokemon which you will not encounter most likely. It charges Drill Peck at 5-4-5-4 and it hurts as hard as what a Charizard would deal. Its such a fun pokemon because if you ever align into pokemon that are very weak to it like Poliwrath you can always force 2 shields + a KO which they will try to flip but never will win. Amazing pokemon to run and can highly recommend it to you as there are really not much hard counters to Zapdos, with only hard counters being a Ground + anything that resist flying.
@@josephmother2659 it's quite bad actually. Thunder Shock = 3 Damage / 9 Energy / 2 Turn Charge Beam = 5 Damage / 11 Energy / 3 Turn It's very bad because it's pretty much like Charizard using Air Slash instead of Wing Attack. Charge Beam is 4-4-3 and 5-5-5 for Drill Peck and Thunderbolt and it is 6 turns to reach your first move which is not good. Against a pokemon that charges fast that takes 5 turns like Swampert/Drapion you will get outpaced and burn a shield first before they do meanwhile if you have Thunder shock you will outpace and if you do CMP tie you win against them.
Over the last few seasons I’ve been slowly regretting powering up my Shadow Zapdos for ML. I started when the flier meta was dominant and there was a lot of double flying teams, so with Groudon as one of my only XL’d pokemon that sucked. Unfortunately by the time I got if to a usable level the flying meta died down so now I wish I could use it in GL again.
This has to be the top 20 from this season right? I see virtually no Noctowls or Greninjas this season so seems odd that those two are banned. However I’m almost exclusively seeing Poliwrath and Whiscash so those should’ve been on this list

Tough lead in the next match.
Diggersby into Whiscash.
Ima safe switch into Poliwrath.
Homeslice spitting bars 😂
Came here to watch the gameplay and laugh at the 1457 CP Shadow Zapdos KKomrade
Mine is 1487 and it worked really well luring lol
Homie's going an absolute rampage! Bringing on shadows fourth time in a row! 😂

@@NepNeppy ok thanks 🙏
The trick is controlling alignment because Zapdos - never mind, HSH mentioned it himself.
Have been using Shadow Zap in open great as closure and it's amazing
Pacing of Thunder shock and Drill Peck is insane
And it wins cmp over a lot of mons which helps as well
Should I use it if I cannot get thunder shock?
Says he was less worried about pokemon like Pelieper.
1m earlier Pelieper is banned on the graphic
I meant mantine 😅
My rank 4 Zapdos is ready to FEAST
jesus that Zapdos did work the 1st
My shiinotic-rapidash-dirge team about to cook the remix cup lmao
Ggs! I made a huge misplay with with combo play on your diggersby😂
I ran Whimsicott, dewgong, and aurorus and I also use Whimsicott for open great league as it’s very underrated
We band everything but the problem which is poliwrath 😅
Such a low play vs Charjabug lead, why you didn't swap Zapdos into Jellicent after lending scorching sand??

Yeah its top 20 from last season
Yeah and no Lickitung either. I did see some Noctowls and Greninja tho. But yeah, as HSH said, the list is from last season.
No dragonaires and no poliwrath it's got to be from the
Past

@@islamtabti2589hi islamtabti2589
Why didnt they ban poliwrath
I’m guessing Zapdos is super useful!
