Adamant sucks. I go for a neutral or -Speed Nature in-game because I still outspeed everything.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
Neutral Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Drill Peck
- Rest
- Light Screen / Sleep Talk

oh yeah because ingame you can change your nature like magic.

Adamant
- Steel Wing
- Drill Peck
- Thunder
- Hidden Power [Fighting/Physical not Steel or Flying]
@ Choice Band

if you're on NB or want to get another Zapdos for a different nature

Modest/Timid
- Thunderbolt/Thunder
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- HP Grass/HP Ice/Light Screen

Thunder makes it so Snorlax can't wall you at all, and LS is there because HPs in game are gay

Meal Sound is also cool if you have Pokemon XD.

I've been wanting to catch a good metal sound zapdos on XD for a long time but i'm scared because not only do you need the right nature and good IV's but they have to equal a semi-strong 60+ HP Grass which is like pulling teeth. On top of that i have to keep fighting the final 7 over and over. I would kill someone just to be able to put giga drain on em.

Zapdos w/leftovers
Modest <+Satt / -Att>
'Pressure'
EV's : depend on catch <200 spd / 200 satt / rest in hp>ish
- Thunderbolt
- HP Grass <Seeming Impossible>
- Metal Sound
- Roar

It would be a lot easier if i could put MS on him post catch as i would get him on FireRed but i have to go through Lugia / Moltres / Articuno / Zapdos / Rhydon / Tauros / Exeggutor to get him. I'm saved right before the final fight.:(

I have a question - are a pokes nature and IV's set when you catch it or the first time you see it in battle? It would be a lot easier to not catch zappy in the final fight but get him off Miror B later. If i kill zappy in the final fight will Miror B's zappy be the same one or a different one? - I know this part of the post should be in the console forum but its sorta related.

He told you the reasons. Thunder if you don't want Snorlax to wall you.

I prefer Thunder for competitive as it hits Snorlax so much harder, but Bolt in game.

Even though I despise Zapdos =/
