Legendary Pokemon-Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres
Zapdos
CP | 3330 | 9/251 |
ATK | 253 | 7/251 |
DEF | 188 | 64/251 |
STA | 180 | 34/251 |
Type: Electric/ Flying
Move:Charge Beam, Thunder, Zap Cannon and Thunderbolt
Weak Against: Rock and Ice
Zapdos has a decent defensive typing, having two weaknesses (ROCK and ICE). As many Ice types are also Water, many of those Pokemon will be weak to Zapdos. As for Rock types, Rhydon learns Mud Slap (neutral to Zapdos) and Rock Smash (NVE to Zapdos). Omastar is weak to Electric attacks. Which leaves Golem as the best counter. In terms of gym offense
, Zapdos is about as tanky as Cloyster and Poliwrath. This added bulk elevates Zapdos above being a Gyarados-counter to a solid generalist attacker. The advantage from using Zapdos over Jolteon comes from its durability.
Articuno
CP | 2933 | 20/251 |
ATK | 192 | 63/251 |
DEF | 249 | 10/251 |
STA | 180 | 34/251 |
Type: Flying/ Ice
Move: Frost Breath,Blizzard, Ice Beam and Icy Wind
Weak Against: Electric, Fire and Rock
Articuno marries the bulk of Lapras and the DPS of Cloyster, and as a result will become the best Dragonite-counter in the game. This could be a game-changer for people plagued by Dragonites who do not have access to good Ice type counters.
But it weak to many powerful attackers such as Jolteon, Flareon and double weakness to rock due to it's flying type. In addition, it suffers from a bad case of lower-CP-than-Vaporeon-itis, which is unfortunately incurable at present.Moltres
CP | 3272 | 12/251 |
ATK | 251 | 8/251 |
DEF | 184 | 66/251 |
STA | 180 | 34/251 |
Type: Fire/ Flying
Move: Fire Spin, Overheat, Fire Blast and Heat Wave
Weak Against: Electric, Rock and Water
Moltres has similar bulk to Zapdos, which means it has comparable advantages over Pokemon of its type. Moltres does more damage than Flareon, and doesn’t have the drawback of Flareon’s fragility.The Fire Bird’s usability as a generalist is somewhat hampered by Gyarados, Rhydon, Dragonite, and Tyranitar, which all resist FIRE.However, if you find yourself in need of a strong attacker against Blissey, Moltres is up to the task. It will take out Blissey faster than the other Birds, and as a result have more health to spare (it resists Dazzling Gleam).
