gamerant.com:

The Pokemon GO July 2022 calendar of events is full of exciting opportunities for fans of the Niantic mobile AR experience and each week is delivering new excitement. In addition to the rotation events that are following up last month's exciting GO Fest 2022 activities, there are also frequent Legendary and Mega Battle Raid rotations to keep fans of the PvE scene engaged and burning through those Battle Raid Passes as well.

Now that the second week of July is underway, Articuno is departing the Legendary tier Battle Raid spot and making way for the next Gen 1 throwback. Starting July 7 Zapdos is back in Pokemon GO Battle Raids and trainers will have another chance to battle the powerful Legendary bird and roll the dice on trying to earn those rare shiny encounters.

Pokemon GO — July 2022 Legendary and Mega Raid Schedule

Zapdos is a dual type Pokemon which leads to some interesting counter strategies for players. The dual Electric- and Flying-type pairing means Zapdos has two weaknesses: Rock- and Ice-types. Trainers can take advantage of those weaknesses by bringing some meta-relevant and powerful Pokemon into the battle. Veteran players who have been grinding raids for years at this point will likely have a pretty strong roster all ready to queue up for the battle this week.

Players who don't have these counter options lined up and ready to do can still succeed by entering the Battle Raid with enough allies and sticking to their strengths. Fielding a roster full of the best Rock- and Ice-types available and spending a bit of Stardust, TMs, and Candy should still be enough to prepare players for the fight and walk away with a victory. Players certainly don't want to waste any Battle Raid Passes on failed attempts, so be sure
