Zapdos @Leftovers
Nature: Modest/Timid/Hasty/Naïve/Rash
Thunderbolt
Drill Peck
Thunder Wave/Rest
Light Screen/Sleep Talk

I prefer the Rest-Sleep Talking version, but some people don’t like that so if you’re one of those people, go with the alternative. Aim for Modest or Timid for the Sleep Talking version, or the other natures for the Thunder Wabve+Light Screen one.

that's pretty much it fr zappy, unless you like the cb set.

Zapdos @Leftovers
Nature: Hasty
Thunderbolt
Drill Peck
Thunder Wave
Light Screen

Drill peck is there for stab, if it was modest nature then drill peck will do less damage.
Light screen will half sp.attacks
Thunderbolt will always hit then thunder which is more powerful but risky.
Thunderwave will annoy other pokemon.

You should get pokemon XD

Zapdos sucks without Metal Sound IMO

Hamir, you suggested the same set that I did. Don’t do that next time, it’s pointless and redundant.

Its actully pretty decent without metal sound. I use T-bolt, hp grass, rest, stalk in netbattle and it wins battles.

I use T-bolt, Hp grass, Substitute, Baton Pass in netbattle and it wins battles as well... BPassdos is an option with xd

Pax Deorum July 4th, 2006 4:49 PM

HP Grass ingame? Ever bothered trying to get it?

Fr0st July 4th, 2006 5:33 PM

The point of the movesets are sleep talking and subpassing... Ingame drill-peck is obviously subbed in over hidden power [ice/grass]

I knew you were going to say this.

Why would he even want to get XD if he wanted a set for FRLG.

Also Stalker Zappy is just fine. Zapdos doesn't need Metal Sound to be good.

husk1442 July 4th, 2006 7:51 PM

this one time I used:

rest, sleep talk, thunderbolt, metal sound with spikes and gengar and it worked...

Firebolt5 July 5th, 2006 5:10 AM

Thunderbolt
Substitute
HP Grass
Baton Pass

Fr0st July 5th, 2006 6:39 AM

OMG he said moveset for FR/LG and Firebolt5 I suggested that already so you didn't even read the thread... Now I know why Mullet is so irritated

Firebolt5 July 5th, 2006 6:52 AM

Stalker Zapdos is a piss Pokemon because you can't even guarntee that you're going to use the move you want with Sleep Talk. You might use Rest again!

HP Grass, Substitute, Thunderbolt, Baton Pass is a great set and many people have realized that by now smart one so don't say that I copied your set.

Fr0st July 5th, 2006 7:00 AM

I never said I created the set I said I already suggested the set so you resuggesting it was useless... Stalker zapdos is great because it can actually take hits and Sleep Talk means that you aren't useless while resting...

Firebolt5 July 5th, 2006 8:58 AM

Stalking sucks in the metagame I play, which is OU. You don't know how many times I've seen Stalker Zapdos. I hurt the guy, he goes to sleep, he uses Sleep Talk, and he keeps using Rest while he's asleep. *cough* Noob

You were saying?

jc_rcw July 5th, 2006 10:29 AM

Haha then you got bad luck ^_^

That doesn't make you a noob that makes you unlucky...

Dawson123 July 5th, 2006 4:52 PM

Sheesh. You guys need a bit of calming down. Its ok Frost. Its ok. Shh.

Rest is fine. Sleep Talk isn't in my opinion. Its fails too much. You need to be a real expert to use it the right way.

aragornbird July 5th, 2006 7:35 PM

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Then you evidently aren’t an expert because Rest-Talking is easy to use. Just Sleep Talk when you’re asleep and after two turns, use an attack immediately after you wake up.

It’s the randomness that gets people, but still 66% isn’t bad especially since you’ll never be able to attack if you didn’t have Sleep talk. People who keep Sleep Talking Rest just have bad luck. Megahorn and Meteor Mash often miss in the most crucial times, but that doesn’t make them bad moves, and neither is the RestTalking strategy.

I admit, I prefer Sub+Baton Pass, but it’s the Sleep Talking Zapdos that will last the longest.

BP Zapdos rocks in the metagame. Stalking Zapdos is ok I guess.
