Catching Zapdos in Cobblemon

Zapdos has a catch rate of 3, which is very hard by Cobblemon standards. Bring its HP as low as you can without knocking it out, ideally with False Swipe, then apply sleep or paralysis before throwing. Those two things matter far more than which ball you use.

Zapdos is legendary, so most servers do not let it spawn randomly. Expect it through event content instead: on TalonMC legendaries come from contested Legendary Monuments and mission chains. See our legendary guide.

Shiny odds are the same for every species, roughly 1 in 8,192 per spawn, so hunting a shiny Zapdos is purely a volume game. See shiny hunting.
