Zapdos (Galar) in Polished Crystal
Fighting / Flying — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.
Compared with the official games
Against the base species it is built from:
- Stats Attack 90 → 125, Defense 85 → 90, Sp. Atk 125 → 85
- Type Electric / Flying → Fighting / Flying
