'''Zapdos''' ({{ja|サンダー|Sandā}}, ''Thunder'') is a fictional creature from the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' media franchise.

==Origin==
[[File:145ZapdosRB.png|thumb|left|Zapdos's official artwork from ''Pokémon Red and Blue''.]]
Zapdos is an Electric/Flying-type {{iw|Bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}} and is categorized within the Pokédex at #145 as the "Electric Pokémon". Along with [[Articuno]] and [[Moltres]], Zapdos is part of a trio commonly referred to as the {{iw|bulbapedia|legendary birds}}.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Shock|move}} (formatted as "ThunderShock" prior to {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}) is a special Electric-type attack with 40 base power and 100% accuracy. It is part of Zapdos's starting moveset in every game.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===

When Zapdos makes its rare appearance out of [[Poké Ball]]s, it uses ThunderShock as its attack. Zapdos will discharge [[electric]]ity and sparks will surround it. Any character besides the summoner that is caught in the discharge will not be able to move (but can [[SDI]] out of the electricity, as they can upon being caught in a [[Smart Bomb]]'s blast radius in ''[[Brawl]]'') and will take a lot of damage (up to 81% damage if caught by the attack at its start). The attack happens very quickly.

===Trophy information===
Zapdos is featured as a collectible [[trophy]], unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the [[Trophy Lottery]], though it only appears once all characters have been unlocked.

:''Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In addition to electrical moves like the dreaded Thunder, it also wields a vicious move called Drill Peck.''

==In {{for3ds}}==
===As a background character===
[[File:SSB3DSZapdos.jpg|thumb|Zapdos in Prism Tower.]]	
In {{for3ds}}, Zapdos makes occasional appearances as a background character in the [[Prism Tower]] stage. However, it is fairly rare. It flies in from the top of the screen, and quickly arcs back around and leaves the screen again.

:{{Flag|ntsc}} ''Gazing up at dark storm clouds gathering in the sky, many children must have once wondered if the Pokémon they saw in the second Pokémon movie was in the clouds. An innocent and childish dream, perhaps... but even today as adults, the sound of thunder might just bring back memories of this Legendary bird Pokémon.''
