Zapdos is one of the three legendary birds of Kanto. It was captured by Lt. Surge at the abandoned Power Plant, and was later merged with Articuno and Moltres into the three-headed Zapmolcuno, until it was freed by the Kanto Dex Holders. During the Mask of Ice incident, Blue captured it and borrowed its powers in fighting Lugia and Ho-oh at the Ilex Forest.
