Pokemon Go has brought back another Legendary Pokemon for a limited time. Zapdos, one of the three Legendary birds from the original Red and Blue versions, is appearing in five-star Raids again, but it'll only be available until October 2, making this your last chance to capture it. Like Articuno, Zapdos has made numerous appearances in Go since it debuted, but if you've yet to catch one or are just looking to add more to your collection, we've rounded up some tips to help you beat Zapdos below.

Zapdos Raid Schedule

　　Your best chance to catch Zapdos will come on Wednesday, September 30, when Niantic holds its regular Raid Hour event. From 6-7 PM local time that night, most Gyms will be taken over by Zapdos Raids, which should make it much easier to find and battle the Legendary Pokemon.

Zapdos Weaknesses And Counters

　　Mamoswine is your best choice when it comes to Ice Pokemon because it's part ground as well, but there are plenty of other viable pocket monsters to bring along. The Legendary Kyurem likewise resists Zapdos's Electric attacks and can hit it with super-effective moves, while Glaceon and Weavile are just good Ice attackers, although neither of them have any resistances to Zapdos.
