While Zapdos isn't the most powerful of cards among the Legendary birds in , you still craft a decent deck to help you beat your opponents with heavy damage-dealing Electric attacks. Zapdos is a straightforward EX card to get attacking early since it only needs one Energy to use Peck for 20 damage. However, its main damage-dealing move, Thundering Hurricane, has its total damage depending on four coin flips. Ranging in multiples of 50 from zero to 200, this can be either a juggernaut in battle or a total disappointment.
Although not among the best beginner decks in , one focused around Zapdos can make way for dangerous damage dealers, which are easy to set up if you include various supporter and item cards to support them. Using the ideal deck for Zapdos perfectly may require a bit of luck, depending on Energy cards and coin flips. Still, the particular set of cards required makes for a particularly fun assortment since you can quickly deplete the HP of your opponent's Pokémon if done correctly. It's not the best Electric-type deck, but it's worth a try.
The best cards for a winning Zapdos deck in include other Electric-types like Pikachu ex, Tynamo, Eeletrik, and Eelelktross. It should be easy enough to obtain most of these cards from the Genetic Apex set once you learn how to farm packs and cards in The only Item cards needed are two Potion cards, and two Poke Ball cards each.
