How to get shiny Zapdos in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go shiny Zapdos — (Prototype credit: Niantic)

Unfortunately, shiny Zapdos doesn't wait that different from standard Zapdos in Pokemon Get. To the point where when Zapdos was originally released, Niantic accidentally gave it the shiny sprite instead of the standard one! That has since been fixed, but shiny Zapdos just looks slightly unlike. Even so, it'southward another ane to catch for the shiny collection. If you practice accept an encounter with a shiny Zapdos, think it has a 100% catch rate after a raid, like all shiny legendaries!

Requite me a game and I will write every "how to" I mayhap tin or dice trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, y'all'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging assurance on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Director, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
