Zapdos will also be present at the weekly Raid Hour event. On Wednesday, July 13, from 6.00 PM to 7.00 PM local time, Zapdos will be present in the Raid Hour event. This allows players to congregate and take on the electric legendary, presenting another opportunity to get a Shiny Zapdos.

There's no special difference between Shiny Zapdos and the
