Zapdos

Thanks to its above-average bulk and decent Speed, Zapdos is one of the best Tailwind setters in VGC.

Zapdos's typing is pretty good defensively, leaving it with some good resistances and immunity to Ground-type attacks. Unfortunately, Zapdos has a weakness to the very common Rock Slide.

It can survive strong neutral attacks such as Mega Kangaskhan's Double-Edge, super effective hits such as Mega Tyranitar's Rock Slide, and even some Z-Moves like Incineroar's Malicious Moonsault, but it is unable to take on any stronger attacks.

Pressure allows Zapdos to leech PP from low-PP moves such as Tapu Bulu's Stone Edge.

On the offensive side, Zapdos faces competition from faster and stronger Pokemon like Thundurus-T, Mega Manectric, and Tapu Koko. Zapdos sets itself apart from them with its bulk, and, unlike Mega Manectric, Zapdos doesn't use a Mega slot.
