Zapdos trophy in Melee.

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

When Zapdos makes its rare appearance out of Poké Balls, it uses ThunderShock as its attack. Zapdos will discharge electricity 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.

As a trophy

Zapdos is featured as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. The trophy description is:

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 Super Smash Bros. 4

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, 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.
